![No Flares? No Problem. Try This Wall Panel Build Instead
Want to sleep sideways in your van _without_ using flares? I built custom wall panels that extend into the window bays to get over 6 feet of bed width. In this video, I’ll show you how I built them, why they work, and how they compare to flare installs. A smart, stealthy solution for maximizing space in any van build.
