    You might add a folding cutting board that folds up against the electrical area to avoid splashes. The backside of the cutting board could be a mirror to open the space up even more. So electronics covered = mirror showing, electronics not covered = cutting board down in use.

    Really nice build, video and description. You probably discovered by now (as did almost every e-series owner) - heat only comes out in the lower vents on the drivers side floor and air conditioning only comes out in those ceiling vents. It actually works pretty good like that since heat rises and cool air sinks.

      No one does. Until they learn... via apprenticeship, UA-cam, etc. This was also unrelated to the argument as we're commenting on what Dave said, not the OP. You're merely attempting to deflect because you're incorrect.

      He literally said "I've created", meaning he did the labor, and "Not including van", meaning not including the van price. Which would mean 6k for the build.

      The bar is definitely designed to only be used at camp and I am highly against drinking and driving. With that said, as long as you aren't drinking and driving, it should not be a problem. The bar is not accessible (can't reach it) by either the driver or passenger from the front seats.

    This is so stealth, as you said, so that you can park it anywhere and probably not get hassled by authorities or broken into for parking/sleeping for a short period of time. And a window van makes it even more "soccer mom" looking. I prefer just a panel van but that gives it away more as a camper which, in Cali, apparently is targeted by towns for ticketing if you park overnight curbside. Your design, layout, and work quality shows thought and top quality.

    I like your design. I'd put clothes on the top drawers for access once bed is extended. Whatever's not needed can stay tucked away. Your bench/bed to one side is great for access to back door, food in drawers, love the hidden long drawer! I'll be traveling with 2 big dogs and this would work well for them! Nothing else I've stared at would work better, so far, honestly. Great job!!

      @@drawersystems subbed when I heard that. Nice job! How does the suspension do on the 350 with that much weight? My 150 was squatty so I added 990 helper springs, which gave an inch, but I'm not convinced it was the right route.

    • @drawersystems
      @drawersystems  3 роки тому +1

      There was no issue at all with weight. Since this was originally a passenger van, I removed 3 rows of seats which I’m 99% positive weighed more than everything I built and installed. I’m also pretty sure the E350 has a beefier suspension than a 150 or 250. Anyone else know for sure? Either way, no squat and no drive difference once I finished everything up. 😊
