Thank you for watching! I’m not sure how the blum hinges will fit with the 10 series. We followed recommendations from FarOut rides so you might check out his page to see if he has any info on using 10 series aluminum. And we bolted the 8020 aluminum directly to the van for our cabinets. Our bed frame supports are attached to a structural steel plate behind the wall because we felt we needed that extra reinforcement to support the bed. But other than that, the rest of our 8020 is bolted directly to the van!
All of our plywood cabinets are laminated. We used WilsonArt black laminate inside cabinets like this one, and nicer Fenix laminates on the outside cabinet surfaces- and yes, we did all the lamination ourselves! Check out our other videos to see all that fun 😜
It looks awesome! I’m also gonna do the same on my van, but I am planning to use 10 series 8020 to save some spaces. Do you think the hinges fits well with 10 series? Also, I was curious about securing the 8020 cabinets. Do you bolt them down to the sheet metals underneath or just bolt them to the factory mounting hole on the side?

@jennifergaston9550 sounds fun. I tried laminating with some dap and a rollwr. Didn't come out half bad
@@Joe-nx7njit does get easier with practice!
