Today...
Still not 100% sure this is the right decision but relocation (work) has shown it’s quite difficult to give this project the time I’d like. At this point I would consider the van 85%+ complete, and at that perfect stage were you can still make changes to make it 100% your own. My approach has been to go slow, and purchase the best parts & systems which fit both my immediate needs and also offered an ability to grow. At this point the flares, windows, floor, ceiling, insulation, electrical, plumbing, A/C, bed system and kitchen (rough) are in place, ready to be commissioned / finalized along with the balance of the interior.
I had a started a Build Thread which is reflects some of the work completed. I will try to post some new pictures which show the electrical, plumbing, etc. which has since been completed.
