Easiest and fastest way to build a camper van proceeds to only show how to build a cabinet

[wilsonwombat]

I did a modular build for my van 2.5 yrs ago. Not only the cabinets and bed, but the floor and wall panels as well with the idea I can swap out any component, some or all if wanting a different look . For my cabinets I used karri for work areas and hard wood faced ply for drawer fronts and doors, so glad I did as they can take a bashing unlike soft ply.

A tip for anyone doing a build like this for the first time. While at the lumberyard, grab a single 4 x 8 ft sheet of 1/8" plywood and rip it down to 2" wide strips with your power saw. Only one edge needs to be perfect. These strips and a hot glue gun let you mock up all horizontal surfaces- kitchen, bed, storage etc. Lay out the strips on the bare floor and hot glue at each corner or angle. This will become the template for your countertop or whatever structure to be made. This provides a tangible sense of scale, IDs obstructions, etc without a million measurements and guesses. It's cheaper to make a mistake with this stuff than a full sheet of 3/4" voidless ply. A few strips will be used as 'story sticks' to mount horizontally at wherever height your structures will reach. On the sticks themselves mark the layout plan view (as if viewing it head-on). With pencil or fine Sharpie, mark plumbing locations, outlets, cabinet widths, etc. Ex. <Cab #1 to here><Cab #2 to here> <outlet ^ here> <plumbing {} cold> and so on, to direct scale all around the perimeter of the van. No tape measure needed.

Lots of information! We have a Ford Transit 250 Cargo Van that we went the NO BUILD route so we could change things as needed or move things around if an adventure is necessary. We always love seeing what people do with Transits! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY

Very cool Jay! I do love how you keep the electrical and plumbing so neatly organized in the garage!

Thanks. The track mount is a great idea. I have a commercially built RV/van, but considering a DIY approach for next phase of life, based on our needs. Your video is a keeper.

[LegitDelmar]

This video made my day and i was having a pretty good day as is.

Truly appreciated the quality of the build. Stoked to have some new ideas as I start building out my van.

im buying a van soon for a detailing business and love the modularity of this build, making it very versatile.

[Anonymous-ziwr]

Would like to see more details on everything really. Plumbing, Electrical, and Construction. More videos!

[vincentzielinski]

We love our light colour interior for spotting and killing mosquitoes easier especially b4 going to bed. Also used a much simplified plumbing and electrical system. 3 years and 25k miles later no problems or regrets.

[daniellatty]

Wow Jay & Kel you made it look so easy
Thanks again I got the heater running almost every night
Merry Christmas to all 🎄

[UsPlusaBus]

SO CLEAN! Definitely going to take some inspiration from this to add to our build haha

[RustyRecovery]

Nice build but with regards to the electrical installation. The last thing you want is to be putting your arm over two lithium batteries, possibly overheating, in fault, smoking, you get it, etc to switch off your electrics. Put the main isolation switch in an easy to access and safe location saving both yours and your vans life in the event of an electrical fire which are common to DIY builds.

Thank you for the video, so many great ideas. I would totally be interested in prebuilt cabinets 😊
