All systems powered up and running.....Sweet!
Next up I need to cut our new mattress to size. I ordered an 8" thick mattress (Should have went 6") but need to trim a couple inches off the end for a proper fit.
Had to cut the fiberglass fire blanket to get to the foam.
The temporary boards on the aluminum bed frames ratchet strapped in place, I'll get the permanent units fabricated in the near future. The final versions will have ventilation holes cut into the boards.
Using two pieces of aluminum and a large butcher knife to slice off the 2" of foam....cuts like butter.
Now I'm making notches so the mattress fits up tightly to the vertical L-track supports and stays flat on the bed frame. These will also hold the mattress firmly in place.
Fire blanket and cover re-installed.
Mattress back in the van and locked in place with the L-track.
Next up I wanted to fabricate a mount for the fire extinguisher as I'm tires of packing it under the bench seat.
Laying out the mount.
