How much was the van and did you buy it new or used? This looks great. I’m working as a handyman out of my diesel 2015 vw golf wagon and a 5x8 trailer, which has worked good so far but I hate unloading ALL tools out of it for a job
Ok mate, I just bought a 2019 144v6 diesel, I’ve had it since Tuesday. Set me back $30k!!! 😮 but now it’s time to either build shelves or purchase metal shelves used, at least for now so I can see how I may want to build like you did.
You're not wrong about this. I have to be a little careful with the sides, there's one place I got a little ding, but it's a work van, so I can't really expect the van to stay perfect forever. Adding some 1/4" panels makes a lot of sense if yon are worried about the dings
You don’t once show exactly how you fastened the cabinets to the floors and walls? Just a quick clip saying you put some L-brackets, without actually showing anything?
Just small L brackets on the floor. It does not really have a place to go. I have found over the years that the van flexes quite a bit and the top L brackets loosen up. I currently do not have a fix for this! Once I have some time after I build my house I’ll mess around with a solution.
Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!
Nice use of space! Always enjoy seeing what others do with their vans!
Looks really good. Led lights next?
That’s a good idea!

I want a van…. I’m at a job for the next year, thankfully, and basically have setup shop at this house, once it’s done, Van will be much nicer
New. I think 54k. Not cheap. I didn't want to spend that much but I had no choice.

Without a backing on your shelves your van walls are going to get dented from the inside out.

Are you wearing nail polish?
Quite possibly... I have 2 daughters 🤣. Sometimes they get me with those cute innocent eyes and ask if they can paint my nails, hard to say no.
@@TodayIWorkOn Quite possibly? I would call that a yes....haha. Nice build-out. Greetings from Texas.
