Idk why I didn’t consider just not putting up wall paneling In the areas where there are going to be cabinets or shelving. This video just saved me a lot of time
Thank you very much for all this info. I’m at the critical point of insulation and finishing everything out. Your videos have brought me space and a trail to finish other than the online rabbit holes that never lead anywhere !
Can you expand on LVP flooring? Your videos are amazing, but I can't find a single video you have that covers flooring!!!! Securing it with aluminum floor trim on front/rear and slider means the only direction it can expand is toward the driver side cabinets. But in your 8020 video you run the flooring under the cabinets and screw the cabinets into the flooring as well. And do you run the flooring around (not under) the back cabinets that hold power and water systems? I hadn't consider planks because I have heard complaints about them expanding with extreme van temps. This is an important topic and would love to hear your thoughts. Seems many people would also love to see a video on how you approach flooring!
Great content as always. Really enjoyed reading your build materials list but was surprised by your low cost sidesteps. However, I spent 3X as much and am not thrilled with mine. Also, check out the Rheem Performance 2.5 gallon water heater as a better alternative. Similar to the Bosch but with a low point drain and you can swap out for other heating elements.
Thank you so much for making your videos. I have not build a van yet. Finally purchased one for pleasure. I'm at very early planning stages. I plan to buy your spred sheet tomorrow. Question What T nut profile are you using n your cabinets. Is it 20x20mm?
I have the biggest problem for DIY builders is knowing what exactly you want and being able to plan for it. The only realistic option I see is to try things out without spending too much money on it, and then rebuild in a few years when you have an idea of what your needs are exactly
So when you say wait for the floor do you still put in the insulation and the subfloor under everything but wait on the floor that you see until the end? Thanks for all the great content!
I would love to hear more about how you do your floors. If they're floating are they secured down on one side but not others? Or do you tuck them under some of the secured cabinets? Since a van moves a lot more than a house I assume there must be something that's keeping the floor from completely coming up in an accident?
@@thrivans I'm also curious which brand LVP you use? Thanks again for the great content. I hadn't thought a floating floor was practical in a van, but now that I realize there are ways to secure it on 2-3 sides and let it float on the other, it makes a lot of sense.
Thank you for this video, very handy for my next van build. Could I please ask what is the thickness of your plywood on the panels of your walls, is it 3mm/6mm/9mm? Thanks in advance.
Do you have a place to at least donate for your work you have done? Like faroutride I spent 85 for their build plans when their website alone is worth it.

EXCELLENT video...thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Building out while and living in it part time can really help too because you get a feel for what you want and where.

Yeah hardboard covers are enough there

Me, as well. I'd think the flooring is the first thing to do.
Glad that you posted the Build Sequence Spreadsheet! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

Yes. That’s correct.
What's the name of the white looking insulation that you're using

We have aluminum floor trim on the front, rear, and at the sliding door. The LVP flooring is secured to the subfloor at these points.
Thanks! Makes sense. I'd love to see a video showing more details as well as why you like LVP over sheet vinyl (like Lonseal). Great content!
@@thrivans I'm also curious which brand LVP you use? Thanks again for the great content. I hadn't thought a floating floor was practical in a van, but now that I realize there are ways to secure it on 2-3 sides and let it float on the other, it makes a lot of sense.

You're so welcome!
I’m wanting to hire someone to build out a Brightdrop Zevo 600 . Does that sound like something you’d be interested in?
Thank you for this video, very handy for my next van build.
Could I please ask what is the thickness of your plywood on the panels of your walls, is it 3mm/6mm/9mm?
Thanks in advance.
Which panels are you referring to?
@@thrivans thank you for your reply, date time stamp 11:22, the larger panel below his fingers, vearing right.
What type of wood do you use for the furring strips?
5/8” Baltic Birch.
How do you attach your furring strips?
Loctite marine adhesive and stainless steel screws.
