So the heater heats and circulates the coolant in the van and you have to run the vans blower to heat the cabin?

I went round and round about cutting the top off mine to add a fiberglass top. It's expensive and a LOT more work to finish it out nice. If you plan on cooking, doing dishes, preparing big meals, indoor shower, haul a motorcycle, I would say absolutly high top. Our van is basically a tent on...

19X36 opening. Slats are 3/4" wide. Tracks must be parallel. I had to put some shims in the back as the plywood sides aren't on the same plane as the steel frame. I added a conceal across the top to hide where the door makes the corner. Other than what felt like 50 million cuts with the hacksaw...

The door came in 8 foot long pieces and was built for the cabinet. 56 cuts and 112 deburred edges and a few hours later you have a custom size door.

Other than the aluminum casing on the tambour slats it's all plastic so it's not a clangy rattle. I doubt it will be louder than the toolbox full of tools under the bed. It feels like there's enough weight to it to keep it quiet though. I'll report back once I get it installed.

Tambour! This door turned out fantastic! Smooth action. Nice weight. I love it. I can't stop rolling it up and down.

Vacation = progress. Got the tambour door hardware and couldn't wait to install it so that ment skipping ahead a few steps to paint and upholstery as I wanted to install this door only once. They packed it with 6 brand new t-shirts! Sweet! Found some fabric with backing for spray glue and...

Got a link to those seat swivels? Factory mounting points for our GM vans?

Here's today. Finally some vertical panels!

Progress is slow. Work and sleep have consumed me. Here's all I did Saturday.... Better than nothing I guess. I barely remember doing it. Glad it looks ok.:D

Well this is not good. Should I solder the end solid?

150a fuse be ok between everything? 1/0 cable.

More progress. Cabinet framed up and secured. This will have 2 way drawers where the door is and the bottom of the other part will be electrical and maybe heat. I want an Espar setup but dang. Them things are pricey for a gas version. Any alternative ideas are more than welcome. Would love to...

Thanks! ACR, 1/0 cable, cable ends, heat shrink ordered. Still looking for fuses.

Done for the weekend. Ran out of steel.

I NEEEED a tambour door in the front of this. We decided against full height in favor of a spot to throw helmets.

Having the same thought. Just got to figure a way to router a perfect circle to recess the plates a bit. Thanks for the kind words!! Much appreciated.

Slow but sure. The cold weather has me thinking more about insulation.

A little hardware waiting when I got home from work this morning. Sequoia locking, flush mount, no giant holes in the floor, with cover caps. Feels like nice stuff. I can fit 6 people here no problem. It's like a small picnic table! This is awesome and motivating. This is gonna be sweet.
