      This van is a death trap. A (single) rear or front end collision with cause most that wood to shatter and splinter , sending projectiles all throughout the van. The batteries also will come flying forward ripping free of the cables. 20 other terrible problems besides the immediate obvious I just pointed out. Safety before pretty visuals are the things to keep focused on .

      @@yogawithkeigan you cannot buy any vehicle on earth from any automaker with wood ceilings or walls, for good reason. Wood shatters like a grenade with impact. I’m sure you’ve seen the ( crash dummy’s) test on tv for airbags. The wood fragments even (spear) the airbags. I’ve worked in surgery for 30 years with countless Van injuries from projectiles in accidents. This guy doesn’t even have a cage separator ( forgot the term) btw the cargo area and front passenger seats. You may drive for 30 years without accident but everyone has one at some point in time. Possible solution for ceiling n walls is 4 by 8 sheets of that mold proof pvc at Home Depot???? Just a guess , that, 1 or 2 large pieces are safer than 40 or 50 pieces of pretty cedar? I’m gonna build out a van late next year. Just using common sense. Keep weight low above most things. Watch what auto makers do and don’t do!

I also put "Moog" E450 springs in the front with a one inch coil spring spacer and alignment keys to give the van a "2WD Van with a 2.5 inch lift". If you've already done this.

    I like what you did. And I too would lower the bed some. I have a line on a 2008 E-350 cargo van that is already insulated and covered in the back, but empty otherwise. It has a reconditioned 3.0 Turbo Diesel engine (not the original). It was wintered in Florida and has NO RUST. The price ($10K) is higher than I thought for a van this old, but everything is in super condition. Haven't decided yet.

    Nice build brother. Perfect for traveling and hitting trails wherever. I'm in the very beginning stages of my adventure. Looking for the right van and the specs I require. It's been a long search and to be honest,a pain in the ass. I'm picky and once I find the right one, I'm off to the races with the build. A lot of research and figuring out what I need and where to incorporate stuff. Your video was awesome, nice planning and placement. I've been planning for almost 3yrs and have been living out of my car for over a year to get a feel for needs and necessities along the way b4 the purchase of the right van for me. Thanks for the insight and inspiration, many happy trails to you
