    Great first build, looks fantastic. Have you had all the wax on your board melt and cover your bed?
    It happened to me in 1974, in Encinitas. I had created a camping sleeping area under my Chevy truck topper, my Mexi blanket was unique after that.

I have another question :) It looks like you used the beams from Ikea for your bed support (I only recognize them because I have some in my garage waiting to be installed in MY van). Are the wood boards along the sides just screwed to the beams themselves or do you have them attached to the van walls as well?

    glad I came across this view, it is more my level as I am on first build a few questions guess you use tong groove pine for walls and roof, really like the mini fridge and placement for swivel seats, what support beams did you use for bed, was really worried about where to store boards so will be using this idea, also how did you secure boards by front roof storage bin

      Hi Susan!! The goal zero and apex are very similar! What you can do is get a 12v plug and connect that to a fuse block! And wire your electrical to that. Check out my Goal zero vs Induction cooktop video. And my Ceiling / 12V puck light install video!

    I have a new Promaster 2500 on order, it has been seriously delayed with Covid and the chip shortage but will hopefully arrive early January. I have been watching your videos with interest. One question (probably more to come) I have is your floor. I have ordered the factory floor and plan to put vinyl plank over it. Did you anchor your cabinets only to the walls or did you also anchor through your finished flooring. Thanks Tony (ps liked your video on installation of your Maxxair vent.)
