During the previous videos, Changing the bed, floor, fixes ect. I also repainted the walls inside.
It was dark in the van so needed a new colour to brighten things up.
The exterior paint got some tlc too with a good buff up to get rid of the hundreds of scratches caused by my offload antics.
Id decided a long while ago that my microwave was a useless addition to the van and it had to go. In doing so opened up a nice large area above my cab for more storage (an everlasting battle living in a van).
So I went about tarting it up and making it functional.
