Interesting material for the walls- do you have some more details/link for it?

Installed me some window!
The Tern Overland windows are pretty much the bees knees IMO. Super solid construction and huge opening radius.

Also got some awesome power and water ports for the van from Tern Overland as well. The covers are being painted to match currently with the flares
And the install video!

Thanks for the product links - some nice gear you're adding to it and I may follow suit!
Envious of how fast you can build! Wish I had a back that played nice...

Did alot of fabrication these past few days. Working on editing video, but here is some . photo and talk about it.
Built the bed.
Materials used include 1 x 2 x 1/4" rec tube for the frames, and 1 x 1 x 1/4 for the overlapping section for the recliner
Basic frame is welded up

Made the second portion that will be the recliner back when we want to sit and look out the back and read, or make out or whatever

Threw it into the van for a test fit

Then it was time to build out the sides

next up is the water tank, ceiling ribs, and skinning the rear panels, and making doors for them.

I need to pull my headliner very soon and do the same. Any words of caution or extra care required around the side airbags above the doors?

since everything is so lightweight in the build, its not really different than most people with a wood framed bed and cabinets back there.
I also have a full van compass suspension on the way with leaf springs, so sagging wont be an issue
