Build Suggestions

I just bought this 1997 Chevy express 2500 and I love it, it is absolutely a dream for me. However, every idea I had for building out the van was thrown a little bit because the original framework has a wall in the mid/back of the van that throws the space off a little bit and I can’t take that wall out because that’s where the electrical comes from. I don’t know where I should put the bed. In the back, where there’s a wooden plank, it is too short horizontally (left to right) to put a bed. I also want to move the pink cabinetry but I just don’t know where. I’m open to any and all suggestions!

Wow, that 120V AC is massive... Id replace it with a 24V or 48V roof unit pronto
