Van Project - She’s Done!

Image
Plain Jane She's a Plain Jane but I am in love! I couldn't be more pleased with how everything came together and all the amazing features that Dustyn got into this tiny little space. Thanks Ross Landino (find him on Instagram @rosslandino) for taking so many pictures and for sharing them! Living Room - Captain chairs on swivels for the living space here. The footrest for the drivers side is beautiful and my favorite feature. This chair fit comfortably under the Corian countertop in the kitchen. The passenger seat has an optional lift up table off the sink side cabinets to provide an Office Space work top or a dining table. Here's a view of that pretty footrest and of the side table up. This side table is built with 200 pound brackets and a release that keeps it easy to have locked in place or folded away. It's an ingenious addition that adds a laptop working station area or a food area prep or just a dinner table/popcorn table for when the TV is swung...

Van Project - We Have Water!

 Here's a video of the water inside the van. Sink and faucet with a pressure tank. There are two 7 gallon tanks under the cabinet with access doors on the inside and door side. The fresh water tank feeds to the faucet and the grey water tank takes the drain water from the sink. The grey water tank also has an optional hose drain.

Van Project - Almost Ready for Paint!

Image
Whoo hoo, interior is just about ready for paint! Here's an example of how all the pieces continue to fit very well, like the inverter into this little left over space next to the furnace. Everything has a place and a place for everything.

Van Project - Step Up!

Image
Once the floors were in, it was more clear how much we needed an extra step to get in and out of the van. This one required some modifications with a little metal work - cutting and drilling and drilling and welding and welding and bolting. He cut the step down a little so it didn't interfere with the exhaust. Then welded on some extra steel and drilled out the frame to insert some bolts and finally, bolted everything together.
