➳ WHO WE ARE
We're Lisa & Jeff Warnick and we've been repping Thrive freeze-dried foods for over 10 years. It's been a dream of ours to have a van to travel the country, supporting our team and sharing the Thrive love. After we built our first van, we realized how much we love the creative process of designing and building vans...so now we're building and selling our own custom vans. We also do conversions on client-owned vans. In this video

Probably my favorite van building channel on youtube right now. I would love a video on how you make the cabinet doors sometime.
Great suggestion!
Wow, excellent video, thank you! I hadn't even considered simply hanging the shelves on the van metal like that. I bought bookshelf brackets and was wondering how I would line them up without drilling more holes. So appreciate the downloadable materials doc!!
Excellent! I will have to edit this for my ford transit. I am doing my galley next week and have uppers above it
Thank you Jeff!
Excellent, as always. I did come across another solution where a 90° angle is fastened via rivnut into the upper truss and that that is secured to the 8020.
That would work. We used to use the 90 degree corner brackets, but you then must notch the ABS liner around the brackets. Also, there are so many holes in the ceiling truss that it can be hard to find a good spot to attach your bolt. We find it easier to just put a bolt through the furring strip.
@@OurThrivingLife Love the idea of oversizing the furring strip. I hadn't thought of that either. Brilliant! So helpful!
Great video as always. Many Thanks.
Curious whether you have tested the method of cross-drilling and end-tapping to achieve hidden joints. Less hardware and more strength. And have you an opinion on using Euro sizes, like 2020, 2040, etc.?
I love your channel. You will be my first choice when i finally take the plunge. Can you please give your input on van reliability between the three ( Transit, sprinter, promaster)? Im a personal who is most concerned about constant repairs and being stuck alone in the middle of nowhere. So much that i never keep a vehicle warranty has expired. You guys know first hand which of the three is most reliable.
Great video, really appreciate the detail!
what are the demotions you use for the cabinets in the Sprinter 170 model?
Thanks for your video. What is the height x depth of your cabinet?
Also, can you make recommendations on how you would do undercabinet lighting? Specifically how you would run the wire? Would you create a double bottom?
We use LED strip lights. If you use round puck lights, you would have to make a double bottom.
Amazing video we can only get 20x20mm or 30x30mm in our country is 20 strong enough or is 30 to overkill ? Thanks
Transit High roof 148 ;length I would be interested in
Great video. Thank you for sharing Jeff! What is the best tool for cutting ABS sheet?
We use a CNC, but you can use a tablesaw or tracksaw.
Would you provide the length of the legs for vertical and horizontal pieces on the uppers for the sprinter? Thanks
Looks very sharp! Couple questions. Do you ever use single anchor fasteners? I use them on the fronts because I was worried that the plates would come loose. Overkill I'm sure Also What do you use for cabinet doors? They look great!.
Do you make the kits for Ford Transit?
Not yet. Stay tuned.
Thank you for sharing this..I have seen prior videos on your channel where you talked about the upper cabinets… But the attention to detail in this was spectacular and I am going to try to mimic your cabinets.
Thank you Jeff! How and when roughly can we purchase the cabinets for self install
Thanks. Will check out the promaster ones when they come out!
You discussed the nessesity to get the height & distance that the cabinets extend out just right, but you never said what the measurements were?
You do such a nice job.
Nice Jeff🎉
