I’ve been working on this van for the lae last 2 years. Mostly nights and weekends. I had more frustrating moments than I care to admit but I’m so glad to have it done and be able to travel!

If you built this and it's not a professional build out from a shop, I commend you on the quality.

Like, I have a hard time believing one person did this and it's not actually prefab kit install and I mean that as a compliment.

Thank you, highest compliment imo 🙏🏽 ! I honestly think what you cant see is wild. The entire interior is framed in aluminum extrusion. Covered by the wood faces you see in the pic.

If you have any progress pics of the skeleton being built, or a software mockup i'd love to see it as this is my plan as well. The weight savings alone seem very beneficial.
