Building Out the Van (Part Twelve)

One of the next things we have accomplished on the van is buttoning up the boxes so no insulation is leaking out. We were going to put duct tape around the edges but that was proving to be stupid so we just put the equivalent of black caulking around it. It seems to have been successful, if not so pretty but it is going to be hidden mainly.

We also put some trimming and crown molding along the top and bottom of the wood. This really brought everything together and made the wood actually look even lol.

We also duct taped the ever-living crud out of the doors. This will mainly be covered up by plywood but it is mainly for a bit of insulation and in case there are any more leaks there. Again, the tape was being somewhat difficult but it did bring me back to making those duct tape wallets lol.

The Maxxair fan is officially installed now. We cut down the cover to size and screwed that in so that is now buttoned up as much as it can be.

My father-in-law helped us out with the vinyl flooring up underneath our seats so that is now complete. He also cleaned and reinstalled the step on the side doors so it is much more comfortable stepping up in there.

We still have some cleaning to do in the front but it is all coming together nicely. The Carhart seat covers will do nicely on the seats as well.

The next thing we will be undertaking are the doors. Putting on the plywood and making them look as nice as possible.

Well, that is about it for now!
