BUILDING A VAN IN 110° | Van Build Series Week 1 | subfloor, insulation, furring strips, & wiring
Welcome to WEEK 1 of our build series for this 2018 Ford Transit! If you didn't catch last week's video, let's bring you up to speed: just over a week ago, we said our goodbyes to the west coast (for now) and headed back to our home state of Arizona to complete a van conversion for a client.
This week, we showed you where to get started on a DIY van conversion, including subfloor, insulation, furring strips, and running wiring for you van's electrical system. If you want to follow along the progress of this van build, make sure to subscribe and turn your notifications on so you don't miss a video! We'll be bringing you weekly updates and lots of good information to hopefully help you with your own van conversion if you have one in the works!
Thanks for watching, catch you next week!
