https://youtu.be/MT4oOoO16lA 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. Replacing it with a new door will cost upwards $125.00; with this mod, two zip ties …
https://youtu.be/FbQBZ9MS9Bo 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

The gray water tank is central to the future separating toilet, the shower, water heater and kitchen sink installation. The woodworking bench has been a recent addition to the van conversion.
