Van at the shop
Finally the van is at the shop as I speak (write?) getting its transformation. I brought it in last Friday before a weekend trip that was originally planned for the mountains but ended up in the desert. That’s a long story for another day. The van should be done by Friday of next week at the latest and I can’t wait to pick it up and see how it looks. I have been thinking about what to do for the electronics I wanted to have in the vehicle. GPS, music player, DVD player and anything else I might add in the future. With a bluetooth stereo I recently installed 2 weeks ago, it would be nice for it to interface with it all. What I decided is to install a laptop stand so I can use a standard computer for it all.
Ram Mount is the company that makes various mounting platforms for all kinds of electronics. I ordered the kit that is designed for the GMC Savana van with 2 articulating joints and adjustable height. It seems very sturdy and well made and installs directly to the base of the front seat with no drilling. I will install it myself next weekend when I get the van back and report to you how the process went and hopefully have photos for it.
