Ply lining, window frames and bed beams!

We have decided to not frame and clad the van. Instead, we’re ply lining it and then building straight on top. Whether that’s a good idea or not… only time will tell!
We also managed to get the bed beams in and some STUNNING window frames, made by the incredibly talented team ‪@Crozierrr‬
Hope you enjoy the video and don’t forget to subscribe.

Hey both, great to see you cracking on with your build 🙂. One question, when securing the skorva beam brackets to the ply board, im guessing you also went into the metal behind for extra strength? What screws did you use to go through the metal? Did you pilot hole first? 👍

Hi Brendan! Thanks for watching ☺️
Yes we went through the mental van beam too. We used self drilling bolts. I think they were a type of roofing screw 🧐 They didn’t need a pilot hole due to them being self drilling.
We saw a lot of people using Riv nuts for this job. But we spoke to an engineer friend who said these bolts would be absolutely fine. Plus it saved us buying a riveter 😆
