Framing for the van walls was a much longer process than I anticipated, but I made it through! I'm super pumped with the results and am showing you step-by-step what I did. Enjoy!

Thank's Trav.... I'm a 73 yearold guy in Northern NY. I'm building out a 159 Promaster too. Thanks for the PlayDooh tip 👍🧙♂️
Awesome, glad to help!
+1 for the Playdoh tip. Never heard that before. Definitely using that!
Playdough nice!
Works wonders whilst bringing back childhood memories 👌🏻
Hey there! Thanks for your thorough easy to understand instructions. Two questions as I’m figuring out how to do this.. why did you put horizontal firring strips up rather than just putting the vertical directly into the van supports? Also.. did you have to bend the vertical firring strips in order for them to drill into the bottom horizontal strip (ie.. the walls are slightly bowed right?)? Thanks!
Mmmmm. The smell of play-doh !Delicious!😜
I just have to say as a filmmaker, that intro montage was just too saucy lol. Awesome video!
Heck yeah, dude!! It’s looking great! 🤘🤘
Thanks, Ash!! 😊✌🏻
Man awesome to see just can't wait for build to be complete
Thank you, me too 😁🙌🏻
Haha you weren’t kidding huh. Keep it up Travis
Such an inspiration beautiful 😍, can wait to see it all finished. #pride 🌈
Have fun and take care and keep up the good work and enjoy it
Thanks David
Looking great dude! Playdoh tip is great!
Really appreciate that, Jo Jo!
You’re doing an amazing job !! Look fwd to your finished product ! Sounds super !
Gonna be very nice when done !!!
Great video and super work! Watching this process, I understand so much more as to why it cost a lot to have someone do the work. Hang in there. It'll be your home done your personal way.💙
Great video....One question....we just finished framing one side of our Promaster 2500, really similar to how you did yours.....and are wondering if we are taking up too much bed space with 2 1x3 attached to each side. Did you end up having any issue with the length of your bed, assuming you are sleeping crosswise along the van
Hey! Thank you, yes I put a lot of consideration into this. While my bed faces along the passenger side wall (and not crosswise) I was still considerate about the space left for the aisle / cabinets. I don’t notice it shrinking the space all that much.
I even had very experienced van builders (far far more than me, actual professionals) tell me they loved the way I did it and would likely do the same in the future.
Hope that helps! ✌🏻
Awesome job! Would you mind telling me why you chose to do the rivets instead of just using self tapping metal screws and going right into the metal supports?
Thanks! I saw others doing the same online and liked the idea of utilizing the existing holes in the Promaster rather than making a bunch of new ones. I actually did end up using a few self tapping metal screws in the top corner pieces and tops of the vertical studs. Also plan to use them for the ceiling furring strips
@@TravTravels I'm working on framing my Promaster right now, and I'm a bit stuck, can you please tell me, did your wall studs that run from the ceiling to the floor have to bow with the curved shape of the van? Or did you build it so those studs were plumb straight from ceiling to floor?
Looking good brother 👍 I just recently decided to sell my brand new Jeep Wrangler and I’m going to do a van build in a promaster also 👍😎 i cant wait
Thanks dude! and that's awesome. best of luck with your PM build!
@@TravTravels thanks, yeah trying to find a van now, short supply 😆 i was going to go with Wayfarer vans, but I found a master Carpenter in jersey thats gonna do it for me for 20k sounds expensive, but he does everything all the stuff is included also including the batteries and solar panels everything
Hi, great video! By chance do you happen to remember what size screws go into the M8 and 10-24 rivet nuts, i am having a hard time with that part
Heyy, for the 10-24 and the M8 what size screws did you use?!
I used 10-24 / M8 hex bolts
I believe they were about 1" in length if thats what you meant
@@TravTravels oh yes the length! Thank you so much!
Hi there, I enjoy this video that help me throughout the process of my van conversation. But, can anyone please help me with a DIY? I am looking to find out how to install my cable wires to my alternator to get 220v. I have a 2021 ProMaster 2500 series 159w base with a 220v alternator built in, but I haven’t found a video showing this type of installation. Can you please direct the information to my attention. Thank your so much ahead of time. I will post a video on my installation once I get the info.
