RV Ceiling & Kitchen Setup
Watch all my videos on YouTube! Now that the Murphy bed is installed, I continue with the kitchen area. It’s basically one cabinet, flanked by two narrow sliders. It will hold the sink, water heater and ‘Shower-in-a-Drawer’. Because it’s only a small cabinet and to
Shower-in-a-Drawer
After the installation of the Murphy bed, I started working on the rear kitchen of the van. The bottom drawer will contain the shower pan that I constructed some time ago. Watch my upcoming video.
Murphy Bed Installation
Watch all my videos on YouTube! A fold-up Murphy bed for a van is the ultimate space saver and a little effort can create a unique furniture piece. Much work has gone into it and more is waiting to be added. So far the lower cabinets and the bed are finished and the upper… Continue reading Murphy Bed Installation
Thinking About Safety & More
Watch all my videos on YouTube! Safety comes in different packages and I start with a fire extinguisher in the RV/Cargo Van. I just installed a general purpose extinguisher next to the driver’s seat and will add another one at a later time, either in the kitchen or at the sliding side door of my… Continue reading Thinking About Safety & More

Neodymium Magnets In The Murphy Bed Legs
I’m putting the finishing touches on the Murphy bed and added two strong magnets to each leg. The legs of the fold down bed have to be secured in two places. When the bed is pulled down, the legs should be extended and held in a 90 degree position and not over-extend.
Ceiling Insulation & Art Work
Watch all my videos on YouTube! Got a good start with the ceiling insulation of the van and continued work on the oil painting that will brighten up the van. The insulation consists of three layers of 1/2 inch Poly-Iso with an R-value of close to 10. I would prefer a fourth layer that also… Continue reading Ceiling Insulation & Art Work
RV Ceiling Insulation
It was time to add some insulation to the ceiling of the van, now that with the Murphy bed installation, access to the ceiling is closing up. I already made the decision to use primarily Poly-Iso and Denim insulation and started to fill the ceiling cross-members with Denim. The cross-members allow for approximately 1-1/2 inch… Continue reading RV Ceiling Insulation
