i didnt know what i was going to do when i started this build, it was kind of an experiment for me to test the platform, which i now know i that i love. i had several people ask me if i would sell it when done and because of this build i am so busy with customer work right now i dont have time...
way to crush my dreams--ha. we have never gotten anything fun in NA. at least i remember being american and being able to get a land cruiser......yeah--dont get those in Cana-duh either
here are a couple interior pics
and a "walk thru" video.
and it is true, one of my 2 rigs has to go.....so yes, i am putting this van for sale. here is a link to a really descriptive post in the classified section...
let me know if you want to stop by for a beer (after quarantine). curious how you got across the border WITH the van, and also why you chose to come to QC to build. i call it the product black hole here, compounded by covid. cant even find a proper metric bolt here (had same problem when i lived...
any deserving tire is unobtanium right now, everything is back ordered. and im a tire snob, so........ but damn does it need some real tires, especially with the lift
bed is 74.75" x 57". its the max, any more would have to go flares for East/west.

cabinets, drawers and doors--rinse and repeat

its a Furrion 17" (they have 21" to), which in the US seems easy to find--etrailer or where ever. in canada i had to look for a while. i like it the best because of the glass cover to give more counter space as well as splatter guard when up
now we are getting close to the end--cold beer generator installed
remember me saying something about a few wife amenity request---oven is the one. and since we have hot water in our FWC and love it--truma combi heater/water heater
real close, im technically in Wendake...the dealer tricked me into a free rust proofing when i bought the van--never again until post build. all i do is look at it and im cover head to toe in that sticky ********.
high pressure laminate. grey on outside surfaces, white inside (because its 50% cheaper mostly, and brighter). for non visual areas, backer sheet because its dirt cheap but controls moisture/warp
big one done yesterday--lots of complexity. now onto plumbing/gas. give me a break from wood for a...
no matter how fancy you try to be, sometimes you just have to revert back to CAD (cardboard aided design).
it was hurting my head trying to figure out all the dimensions and interactions between everything on the computer. still took a couple cardboard revisions....
Finally got my electric elevator bed done
this took me quite a bit of time and what seemed like a lot of welding, but i did a couple customer welding projects during this as well so i was actually ready to put away the torches when i was finished. includes probably way over built structure in...
