Stick Frame Cabinet via Pocket Holes Plusnuts (rivnuts, jack nuts) | Van Conversion Cabinet #vanlife
มุมมอง 2.6Kปีที่แล้ว
I needed to add a cabinet to my van conversion when the walls were already finished. I have no furring strips underneath my wall panels so must connect directly to the van frame. So I only wanted any kind of furring strips or attachments to be localized to the cabinet and not extend beyond it as they would then be visible atop the panelling already on the walls. I explain from start to finish h...

    What is your opinion on buying a commercially made van, or hiring a pro, to build my van instead of building it myself?

    • @SwellerVanDweller
      @SwellerVanDweller 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      If I had the cash and could find a company with a good track record and some customers that I could chat with to verify their work is good and of lasting quality, then I'd say it would be a good choice. If you're planning on doing any sort of "building" inside of the van, it can be very complicated and time consuming to do it CORRECTLY, especially for a first-timer.

    As with any other van builds there are always ideas that have no relevance to other builds but may have have nuggets of very useful ideas. This build is for those who want to have a functioning base to get out there and just do it. Glampers need not judge as we with this style of build DGAF what you think, we are having an experience you are not. I like here the function over form of the build and the repurposing of materials. Cargo hammocks and totes underbed etc. Thanks for the time you put in to share.

    Some are definitely over kill. Add all the extra weight and wiring and on and on. Do you really want to cook in the van and stink it all up with odors. A cot and sleeping bag is enough for me

    Absolutely❤ I am so happy I found you. I've always been about simplifying, but am now after a month of learning, seeing how simple I truly desire. At first having a toilet was the most important, now after learning so many unplumbed options, being able to stand tall might be the most important. That might change as well. Thank you for what you have taught me.❤

    I wish stores would sell frozen 1 gallon water jugs.

    • @SwellerVanDweller
      @SwellerVanDweller 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, that would be ideal... for people who don't follow the genius of this, what this viewer is getting at is that the block of ice doesn't melt down into waste water, but turns into cold, fresh water ready to drink - because it's in the jug instead of a bag like ice is usually sold. I do that when I have access to a freezer, but if the store did it, that would be perfection.
