I use a Tweed fabric covered thin plywood sheet to finish the ceiling of the van. Fastened at the edges to the walls, 3M Dual Lock is used to hold it up at the center. The latter is a heavy-duty type of Velcro with 'hooks' only, no loops. That means I use the same tape on both the ceiling and panel. Finally I will also add my puck lights to the panel.

I have been following your build on YouTube for a long time now. Your craftsmanship is outstanding. I have learned a lot from your videos. It looks like it is getting close to being done.

The difficulty of pushing the ceiling panel into the 3M Dual Lock, was solved by using the van's hydraulic jack and a stud, to force the Dual Lock together. After two weeks, I'm sure it will stay together; the next step will be to install the supporting sideboards.
The remainder of the ceiling (above the kitchen area), receives a similar 3/16" plywood panel; but instead of the Tweed, I use a Marine vinyl, that is better protected against the moisture, produced when preparing food in the kitchen. Finally, I use a narrow strip of plywood, covered with the Tweed, to hold up and cover the area where both panels meet.
