I finish my computer setup in the van with an additional TV/Monitor mount, install a sewer extension from the gray water tank into the van’s interior and add clasps to the storage box lid in the rear of the vehicle. Second TV Mount I’m installing a second TV/Monitor mount, widening the number of choices, where… Continue reading New Additions To The Van

Van Mods
Van Mods This time I make some repairs to the sliding door of my Ford Transit, I finish the ceiling installation and find a storage solution for my water filter. CEILING Still had to finish part of the ceiling edge of the van, which holds up the ceiling at the edges. The rounded corners were… Continue reading Van Mods
Sun Shade & Drawers
I continue my work on the cabinet doors and drawers, but first, I got myself a very compact sun shade (or night privacy screen) for the windshield of my Ford Transit cargo van conversion. It’s an affordable way to cover the windshield, yet still compact enough for my limited storage capacity. It doesn’t take much… Continue reading Sun Shade & Drawers
Kitchen Cabinet & OBD2 Scanner
Still working to finish the kitchen area by constructing a ceiling cabinet on the side wall behind the wardrobe. It will function as a storage area for plates, bowls, mugs and other items, that I use on a daily basis during food preparation. Kitchen Cabinet One limitation I have, is that the finish material Formica… Continue reading Kitchen Cabinet & OBD2 Scanner

Before I can install the ceiling panel, I still have to finish and… Continue reading Van Ceiling Panel – Part III
Storage Boxes & Desk Seat

This Formica-finished top lid has three functions: as a top lid of course, as an extension of the kitchen countertop and as a worktop… Continue reading Storage Boxes & Desk Seat
Upper Cabinet
Built a small upper cabinet in the van, similar to those above my Murphy bed. Added some Formica and a storage basket, et Voila! It’s not completely finished, but you get the idea 🙂 Van Williams
Pantry Build
This pantry is located above the passenger side wheel well. The bottom half consists of four drawers, the top half has three dividers. Like all the other cabinets in the van, the doors and drawer fronts will be installed at a later time. And there is also still some work to be done at the… Continue reading Pantry Build
Building A Pantry
Took a break from my toilet adventure and finished most of the work on the pantry. The drawer fronts and closet door are still missing, but they will be added much later. Meanwhile, I will take all the closet parts down again, put finishes and Formica where they have to go, work on the electric… Continue reading Building A Pantry
