This video is about the 2022 Mercedes Sprinter Conversion I’ve been working on, and it highlights three aesthetic aspects.
0:00 Intro
0:11 Wall Panels You Can Personalize
5:00 Speaker Covers For Adults
9:30 Cheap and Clean Roof Rib Covers
The first thing covered is making wall panels that you can personalize. I think this really helps to make a van feel more like a home. Then I talk about making speaker covers that don’t look like something out of a sci-fi film, and finally how I covered and trimmed the ribs on my ceiling.
If you found this entertaining, educational or even enraging, consider buying me a coffee...or a beer;). Please use the link:

Note: there are cheaper router bits, but with something sharp that is spinning over 20k RPMs I prefer to spend the extra few dollars.

Note: this seems to work well for speaker covers as it saturates through the fabric to the wood for a bond.

9:30. CEILING: Fabric is Magnolia Brighton Basketweave Grey from SailRite. 1/4” foam wrapped with fabric. He used plastic rain gutters cut lengthwise (because the edges are curved) to cover the ribs in the ceiling. This enabled him to comfortably wrap them on his workbench instead of working overhead.

I really like your build. Choice of fabric, removable panels a plus and really nice. Your lightweight cabinets are spectacular.

RE- Cork, I've had good results by wetting the Cork sheet then pressing it flat between sheets of ply. Really enjoying the build 👍

wet down that depression in the cork and use a warm/hot iron and steam it back out!

just found your channel - have watched a few and you are really great in your method and attention to detail - a master. Thanks for affirming to me the best cabinet material being thin plywood and not needing 80/20. I know which way my poptop flat bed camper is going

Really really appreciate your ideas. You've helped me to decide to return to using wood for my build rather than the far more expensive 8020 10 series. I'm no carpenter, but I have some experience and decent tools. Oh and thank you for looking at the camera lens more often. It really does help make your videos more personal, rather than seem like you're talking to someone off-screen. Looking forward to your future videos.

Perfect job .. but this veneers .... ( maybe try some cork impact sound insulation, they come in flat sheets for a resonable price ...)

Any videos on how you applied the fabric to the roof? I have a curved roof and I like the ideal of a fabric. Thanks.

Love the color palette. Do you get your fabrics locally, or somewhere online?

Thank you! Wall fabric is Sunbrella Cast Breeze and ceiling fabric is Magnolia Brighton Basketweave grey. I purchased both from Sailrite.

You’re a wood joiner/cabinet maker pur sang but design wise it looks really terrible. I do not understand you make dovetail drawers and what not and then ugly screws everywhere. There is this couple in the UK who I suspect build as if not lighter but ten times more good looking. So many different materials, colours and all can be but in this case it is one big miss match. The only thing that is attracting is the base, a MB fouwheeldrive.
