- Following along with the project. Transforming our minivan for camping - Part 7 - Working on the shelves, putting latches on the hatches, and adding some netting to hold things.
I've been spending my useful hours (which aren't too many:) working on transforming our minivan (2015 Toyota Sienna) for going camping. I've been planning to start this project for a couple years now; things just keep getting in the way. Of course we will be taking and using a lot of freeze dried food that we have made over the years.

Before buying a freeze dryer, perhaps research to find out more about the downside of the machine; some people have problems with their machine and it's big and heavy and hard to return!
Lots of progress! Looks good.
The most enjoyable waste of 44 minutes today. Waste because while informative and entertaining I’ll never do anything like it myself.
So the open area in front of the toilet, and behind the cabinet is that where your feet go as you use the potty or do your feet hang out the back of the vehicle?
The magnet you use to help get the flat cubby hole panels off, is that just something to make removing them easier or could you construct a tool to use to “connect” to the slab and lift them open instead of the tape/fabric holder you’re considering?
I envision a door handle of sorts (looking similar to the clamps) where the magnet disengages whatever they’re doing on one end and the other side of the handle slips into a slot to pull the slab up. Thereby you wouldn’t need fabric handles on each slab, only this one magnetic tool to open those slabs as well as any other doors elsewhere,
I apologize that I’m probably not explaining my thoughts very well. It’s difficult for me to translate thoughts into words.
🤣🤣 Let me introduce you to Kurtis & Karen at Cutting Edge Engineering - th-cam.com/users/CuttingEdgeEngineeringAustraliavideos (And Engels Coach Shop - th-cam.com/users/EngelsCoachShopvideos ) I never miss a video, and I'll never work on anything like what they do!
Yes, the open space front of the toilet, and behind the cabinet.
The magnet is just what unlocks the mechanism. Oops, I didn't even think about showing how it actuates. We loved them as childproofing locks. (Wow! That was a while back - 5 stars would recommend!)
As for using a piece of fabric as the handle, I figured it was the simplest way to start, easily changed, close to no cost, and hard for me to screw-up! I also thought about just drilling a finger hole into each door panels.
One of my biggest problems is, that when there is more than one way to do something, I tend to overthink things a bit. (Others may tell you it's more than just "a bit")
