      @@IAMChrisWorkman I love the nostalgia of the old 80s and 90s vans, and that interior was in pretty good shape. I would have tried to keep the nice stuff and clean it up, but function over form is more important ^.^

      @@jamielynn2585 that’s a good point. Functional is key! Haha during in the summer and in the heat, it needed a make over

    I like how your van build turned out. I have a 1989 vandura 2500 that I'm about to start renovating but just haven't known where to start, your video is very helpful especially because I want to do the same ceiling in mine.

    • @IAMChrisWorkman
      @IAMChrisWorkman  3 года назад

    Wow, you did a fantastic job building your camper van. Looks beautiful and you lightened it up inside as well. If I knew anything about solar I’d love to put some in our 1995 GMC Vandura. Thanks for sharing

    • @IAMChrisWorkman
      @IAMChrisWorkman  3 года назад +1

      You’re welcome Michael! Yeah the white walls makes it feel bigger inside. And good luck on the solar. I watched a lot of videos to help with my solar system

    @autumnkuhn5132 Год назад +1

    How did you drill into the top without screws sticking out? Did you drill into the wood beams in the fiberglass? I’m afraid of weakening it and I don’t know if glueing is the best solution to getting the supports to stay in place 🤔 I have a 94 vandura with a fiberglass roof as well!

    • @IAMChrisWorkman
      @IAMChrisWorkman  Год назад

      Yes, I drilled into the beams in the fiberglass. I wouldn't trust just glue, unless you have great support

      @IAMChrisWorkman  3 года назад

      Yea it does come insulated from the beginning but it wasn’t great insulation. So I re did the insulation myself. I don’t have the video of me adding all the insulation in the walls, but it’s all in there now! It’s about 5’5” tall inside and 7.5 feet tall outside

      I can definitely see that as a major concern. My fear was my van breaking down, and it being in a repair shop for awhile.
