Thank you for sharing. I appreciate all you've gone thru that has brought you to this point in time. Keep following your truth!

Wow, thanks for all the feedback and new info. One never knows when it may come in handy. I'm actually thinking of a turquoise wash followed by a whitewash and then some sanding. The piece I posted and alluded to earlier, had originally been stained, then painted over with black. I sanded it...

Here is the finish I'm considering.

Yes I intend to give the wood a finish once I get to AZ. It's too cold now in MN to do it. I'm considering a mixture of dark stain on framing portions and a previously used paint technique. I'll provide a picture under another post.

What or who is HDR? I think I used a total of 4 2x4s. I didn't think that was too bad. Build is done but will need to stain it paint when I get to the SW. Too cold in MN now.

@tx2sturgis: That's a lot of 2x4! I was trying to calculate weight I've added. Think it will be easier to have it weighed.

Looking for recommendation for paintable caulk, to fill gaps from new van build. Darn curved walls.  :dodgy:

My neighbors ladies and I made a lot of progress today. Base floor in, bed built, two shelves under bed, furring strips in and some reflectix done.Ceiling piece cut and ready to go.

Thank you for the reply.

Can anyone tell me does the polystyrene need to seal entirely against the van wall or is it okay to have air gaps? In planning to seal the edges with foam insulation and then install reflectix over that.  Thanks in advance.

Took the partition out to enlarge space as it is only a 118 WB. Tough choice for sure.

Finally got my baby home and started the conversion by removing the divider between the cab and cargo bay. What a difference!

Cant seem to post photo, won't upload and no error message???

Not familiar with how tos of message board so not sure if this is correct way to give updates.  Purchased 2017 Promaster 1500 118 with 49k miles.  Pending delivery Mo day as dealer has to remove decals and clean it up. But here is photo for now.  I'm busy drawing plans for layout..

I'm super stoked to purchase my vanlife van tomorrow and also start my build.  My neighbor recently purchased a Scamp so we are both going to be working on our rigs preparing for our northern MN departure the end of November heading to AZ and eventually RTR. Will keep you posted. MNMOM5

Thanks for yoy info. I'd love to rehome my two but I'm afraid my adult kids would take issue. Two have pets already and the other two need to grow up more before accepting such a responsibility. Thanks again. lucille

My two cats are not accustomed to wearing harnesses. Any recommendations for harnesses? Anecdotal sharing of experience? Thanks L
