Contemplating using some of those super magnets to hold the pins while allowing them to be released quickly. They make some pretty small coin style ones...

That's a good idea.
Electrical Systems install:
Gonna retrofit and drop a yellow top + Blue top (in parallel) + a 2 farad Capacitor in Engine compartment.
tied together with a Tmax dual battery Kit
Got an inverter to integrate into the mix as well. Prolly linked to the solar bank but judging from the gauage required to feed this thing i almost think 3k might be a bit overkill...
For the Solar bank:
Going to weld a frame rail box to hold 3-4 of the narrow tall style Blue tops and get that in place for the solar phase of the electrical systems install.

just noticed your barn door awning test...
I ordered a bumpercute some time ago...i though i might have some sort of pull out kitchen from the rear doors and the awning would come in handy.

Dang! I really like that! how do you like it?
Thanks Josh!
Wallin...
Walls fit but not fully curved, wanted to preserve as much room as possible. Wall only added 1/8th inch off pillars on each side!; very excited about that. :ylsmoke:
Pre Primer and waiting for the formica for the bottom half... marine carpeting for the top half.
UPDATE: Really surprised at how quiet the wall system is; was expecting to have to deal with squeaks and such but there are none That was the first big test. The next up, the Colorado winter where i will see/feel how well the insulation layers work.

Dinette System
Taking the removable rear Dinette/Storage/Sleep Concept outta my head and into reality:
The base is my foundation,it will drop into the rear cargo area to transform VanGo from Delivery/event vehicle to Camping/Mobile HQ.
Base cut-out (.5' Sanded Ply ) and kilzed. The base will be carpeted with a RV table base in the middle & coin flooring on the bottom so it can be set-up outside of the van.
Start of the frame for the bench boxes that will sit on the base platform. They will be removable and freestanding individualy as well without the need for the base.
