➳ WHO WE ARE
We're Lisa & Jeff Warnick and we've been repping Thrive freeze-dried foods for over 10 years. It's been a dream of ours to have a van to travel the country, supporting our team and sharing the Thrive love. After we built our first van, we realized how much we love the creative process of designing and building vans...so now we're building and selling our own custom vans. We also do conversions on client-owned vans. In this video

I absolutely love your channel. I am in the planning phase of building out a van which won’t happen until 25-26. I have immersed myself in CZcams videos and you are by far, hands down, the best channel. You have given me so many ideas and the details of your videos are spot on for a novice like me. Your builds are BEAUTIFUL and I wish I could afford to lay down the $ and have you build one for me. Your style is my style so I will be incorporating many of your design ideas into my build. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Cheers from Southern California. Lisa
Thank you for your kind words. Best of luck with your van conversion.
What an elegant professional solution to what seems to the novice like me to be a very difficult task in a van build. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
The ceiling looks great! I was wondering if you coat both sides or just one side of the slats. With it being so thin I thought that maybe just the outside would need to be finished.
You really do quality work, thanks for sharing. How your business continues to thrive and you keep making these videos. You've already given me multiple ideas for my existing Winnebago class B. I wish I knew of you six years ago.
I appreciate that! Good luck with your Winnebago update!
Great video. You do a great job, and show & tell so clearly!
I appreciate that!
Great advice - thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great ceiling look! What length trim head screws do you use to not go through your furring strips & into the van metal?
We use 1-1/4”. That’s the shortest we’ve found. We screw them into the furring strip where it overhangs the metal so it doesn’t hit it.
I like your Duck cloth/ canvas solution…I have used this material before, very good material with good properties and It saves using a thin board too. And I would say duck cloth is preferable over using board too, for water-proofness, and easy to fix. I made some window blinds out duck cloth when car camping ( with a sandwich layer of thin silver thermal stuff)
If anyone in UK wants to try Jeff’s ceiling…Diogo at UK fabrics Online is recommended by me to supply Duck cloth/canvas. Only discounts code I have seen is Black Friday 15% off for 4 days
Thanks for sharing.
12:59 in the back, what did you screw those into?
Solid wood at 3/8" tends too cup.
In marine applications you’d typically apply the finish to both sides of the wood to limit the moisture ingress/egress that would cause cupping.
