Did you drywall your van interior? :huh: 

Hard to tell the material in the purple light. Looks well done either way. Nice and cozy.

I assume that's an LED TV for minimal power use? Running it on a solar setup?
 
The set up looks remarkable...I see you are watching 'America's Got Talent'...I am a fan of that show. Television is wonderful in the Monsoon Rains. Very professional job...I like the look of 'neat and clean'.
 
Looks very nice, tho your pup is not a fan of that show. LOL

You had mentioned a remodel a couple of times if I remember correctly but I don't think we got pics of that unless I missed it????

yes the tv only draws 23 watts n all the lighting is led. the purple light is actually a bathroom light from home depote that i put the led lightstrips inside. that can change colors. the walls are 1/4 plywood that i used bondo body filler for seems corners n edging. it worked out quite well n was pretty lightweight the 2x4 framing with huricane straps made a very sturdy base . theres no creeking at all while driving
 
here is some pics pics of the current junk i got going on

Do you design hotel rooms by day? Use of color, texture (baskets), mood lighting, etc. :p

I commented with questions on your separate shower post. All QUITE impressive.
 
lol no but thank you. i do think that mood can make or break .how you feel. im in this thing 6 days out the week.
 
Dang, just saw your update and I'm impressed as well. Good job and very cleanly executed.
 
nice work, one suggestion hit enter between the pics so they are separate. on a few it's had to tell where one ends and another begins. other than that looks good. although your pooch seems indifferent, I say nice work. highdesertranger
 
i didn't realize the pics were being displayed. weirdly. ill remember that. n "Bacon" luvs the bed however the noise of the tv does bug him at times.
