Just a guy who has decided to make a change and work towards something better for the next chapter in life.

Next for the camper build, I’m adding more internal wall support using thin wood panels. This also helps a little with insulating the heat and cold. And I use the template (from the previous video) to cut a proper hole for the kitchen window.
