Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words. I had a lot of inspiration from some of the early pioneers like adwagon & Timber Vans, but decided to put our own spin on it 🙂
Thanks David! High praise! Hope to add it to the portfolio someday... so many things in front of it and so little time. Want to finish my own van one day LOL.
Todd, you are amazing! I have a suggestion for you. Think about designing a chassis/box for a 16s prismatic cell battery pack (48v). Like EVE 280Ah, 304 Ah, etc. Their costs has reeally dropped. Perhaps even a CAD file or something.
Todd, with regards to rivnuts...YES please! Also, have you looked at how to punch hex holes? There are hex rivnuts, and spinoout would be a non issue if the hole is hex.
Hey, thanks again! I haven't looked into bunching hex holes yet, I know there are punch tools that can do this, but I've had really great success with the round rivnuts at this point using my process!
Yes, but the entire van is a thermal bridge until the wall and ceiling panels anyway. Safety is our main concern here with loaded upper cabinets and making sure we have adequate attachment points and reinforcements there. I guess you could put a think neoprene layer between the contact points, but will likely go the route of turning up the heat a bit since I'm not a full time van lifer.
Thank you! It should work no problem, there were just already holes to work off of in a lot of spaces sized pretty close for rivnuts. Down on the side walls I'm using the smaller factory holes to line up my structure with rivets first and then have a template on where to drill my rivnut holes for mounting cabinets.
This is by far the best celling support I saw for van build, nicely done as always. :))

id buy this in a kit

What to say but another great video and achievement !
Thanks as always for the continued support Robert!

Hey @Ikazanov. Great suggestion, I'll look into that, I haven't seen those solutions before.

What about winter camping, aren’t you creating thermal bridges with those metal brackets?

Another quality and well thought out product and video! I am wondering your thoughts on using only rivets to attach those panel structures?
