Adding a Webasto gas heater to my van. Located under the passenger seat and connected to the gas tank.
In the upcoming weeks, I’ll be showing in great detail, how I install the heater in my van.
I start by pulling the Rheostat and power wire through the B-pillar to a control panel above the sliding door.
Final part of the Toilet Build. I finished the toilet cabinet and installed the separating toilet.
Some is still missing, such as the drawer front and toilet front panel. Those will be installed at the end of the van build. Another missing part is the connection to the gray water tank; that part of the plumbing will be shown in future videos.

The plastic hinges of the fuel door in a Ford Transit are prone to fail. Especially leaving the van when parked next to another vehicle, will force you more backwards, thus hooking the fuel door’s lip with your trouser’s pocket.

It’s not completely finished, but you get the idea 🙂
Van Williams
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 top of the cabinet regarding the shower.
To finish this project, I will install a separate upper cabinet between the pantry and the sliding door next.
I make some changes to the toilet, add Formica to the cabinet and slide-out, and spray paint the toilet.
I top off the bed with cabinets and baskets.
Have been working lately on a travel bed for Joey and included an interesting inlay of my channel logo on its side. Only the a small foam mattress is still missing. That will be added in the next couple of weeks. I also finished the second lock of the Murphy bed.
Plusnuts are a great way to attach cabinets to the metal walls of a van. It is a fast and easy way, very similar to using a plastic plug in concrete.

Next week I’ll start with the work surface. When it all comes together, it all folds down into a ‘bench seat’ for the desk in my van/RV.
