Yes, it will have good airflow. I do like the looks of it. I just didn't see hiding it in a closet somewhere.
 
Building the shelves that go along the ceiling towards the back. They will be open shelves with dual bungee type strap. I built similar in my 6x12.

This is how they are in my 6x12.

Upper cabinets are in. The front is painted. I'll start flooring tomorrow, then build the couch and elevator bed after that.

I got the flooring down today.. I think it looks good. Now I can install the baseboards.

Been moving slower this week. I've been doing some electrical work and trim. I just have the bed and couch build, and solar panels to complete. Will start on that after next week since I am out of town next week

On a side note, the AC rocks and the Victron equipment is working great.

Ive got the OutEquip installed on the van and I'm happy with it. I have a post about it on the Transit forum and so far have heard nothing but good things from other people that have installed one.
👍👍

That is good to hear. I really like mine so far. It seems to cool my 8x20 well. I just hope it stands the test of time.
