So the interior is progressing, first cabinets, then shelves, cabinet doors, bolting down the seats, connecting solar panels to controller and batteries.
Cover the ceiling, add some decor, try out a novel clothes storage method, reinforce the cabinets with a wall panel simultaneously boxing and strengthening the entire box. Cabinets and shelves built with the same purpose. Used the existing ceiling, walls and floor as parts of the cabinets and shelves, thus requiring to only add two sides to keep the weight minimal.
Used homemade sliders and sliding doors to keep costs down. Everything inside will be in a basket, tote or box.
Everyday, when not socially occupied, try to do a little bit and progress. Slowly but surely, and consistently, things get done. Every single item completed, makes me happier and increases the feeling of accomplishment. I've built a class B+ RV. Or one could call it a converted cube Van. Size approximates the newer Euro style vans, which was my objective.
A foamie? No one has ever heard of that.
The few who have seen it, have been impressed with what can be made with 4" styrofoam 4*8 sheets.
So far, I've driven a total of approx. 10 hrs, mostly highway speeds, and nothing has fallen off or apart.
The interior is coming along, flooring done, wall coverings 50-75% complete. Enjoy my daytime comfort seating that transforms to an evening bedroom, with the drop down Murphy bed and full mattress. Still working on placing, storing and arranging, you know, a place for everything and everything in it's place.
Went to an RV show and checked out the mega dollar rigs. Granite flooring tile?! Unbelievable what one can get for $250+k.
I was happy to install LED strip lighting to brighten my world, powered by the sun. Very bright, and inside now, I can have daylight on demand, 24/7. Don't really need windows, it's so bright now.
But I'm still considering a few.
Weakening the walls is a main concern and stress cracks.
Haven't taken too many interior pics, pretty standard stuff. But here's a look at some interior style. Looking for deep colors in a color scheme that promotes quiet calm I would like to call it. Still finalizing colors, trim and contrast hues. Doing some test boards and panels, various paint types and tones. Stain, polyurethane, paint or combinations. Deciding as I go along, depending upon what I can find locally, and priced right.
More pics to come, now that it is bright enough inside to do so.
Make it so.
