    Questions about flooring

    I would not use self tappers, that's for sure. If you're set on the 1x2s, I'd use some liquid nails or great stuff expanding foam adhesive. I'd recommend something other than 1x2s, they are soft, warp easily, and will splinter unless well-finished. For low cost, 1/2 ply(maybe even 3/8 or 1/4...

    Critique my floorplan

    My plan was to wall the entire slider off, and have a door-sized access panel that is insulated and removable.  In the winter, the panel would be in place and hold in heat.  Not going to do much open-door activities in the winter anyway.  In the summer, the panel can be removed and left open. ...

    Critique my floorplan

    Critique my floorplan

    Yes, it would be slightly better to be able to enter/exit at the front of the door's travel instead of the rear.  Unfortunately, that takes away from "bed frontage" space and limits cabinet access as well.  Thanks for the input?  Yes, that's the number one thing I don't like.  Having to crawl...

    Critique my floorplan

    Hi all, I have been living fulltime in my E150 for a while now, and while it's okay, the low roof is starting to wear on me.  I primarily spend my nights stealth camping downtown in a large city near my work, so being inconspicuous is a high priority. I've just picked up a low/standard roof...
