Sanded back down starting with 180 grt and ending in 600. Then recleared with automotive urethane.

Pretty cool looking with the red pearl added to the clear coat. Never done that before but like the look.

Kitchen is getting close. Gotta get most of the cabinets in before the water lines on that side. Using any available space for storage and have quite a bit so far. My wife has had a lot of input to make sure everything is as good as possible for use. Keeping access to absolutely everything as well as any part of the original van box best we can. Also keeping access to mount awning at a later date.
It’s been tough we’ve been recycling everything from the donar camper. Some things there hasn’t been a choice on and paneling has proven to be a b****, spent 6 hours just pulling staples and grinding glue of the back side.
The structure is all 2x2 screwed and glued with 1x2 used as paneling stop along floors and such. All paneling is glued and stapled. It’s very solid. Some readjusting and trim is still needed in the area and it will receive an insulated ceiling later hence some unfinished look up top.

Yes I know some cabinet door grains are facing wrong way, unfortunately there was only so much to choose from. I will correct that later with leftover paneling. It bugs the s*** out of me but need to keep going. So far about 35 sq ft storage, we can get a little more.

Looks good bro!
Thank you my friend. Its not quite as good as we had planned on some things but we’re making it work. Whatever it takes to get it done so we can hit the woods. Last weekend coming up before it receives little love for a bit.

My helpers are the best:) Sam has really gotten into it and Ang has been there the whole time even just having a beer. Tv is off everything tuned out and family time in the hauler. It’s been a great experience that way!

All the plumbing is finally done.

Grey water will either run into septic or pull the valve and it’ll run out through a separate spot we can connect hose to.

Well that was a b****! Not only is the fridge two feet taller but it was 2 inches wider.
Everything had to come out without tearing the paneling next to it out. Base is solid just need to build the uprights. Took 20 min and actually checked to see if everything works and it’s all good!
Time for final run, got two days to get propane lines ran, do some electrical, get batteries in, finish water lines on kitchen side and install hot water heater. Burning both candles but can’t wait to see and ride with some close friends, makes it worthwhile

Big fridge is going to be nice. It’s actually the same size as the bus fridge. Having one this size means no coolers except for the important one, the Coors Light cooler:)
