We opted to install Blum hardware ‪@BlumInc‬ for all of our cabinet doors and drawers. Here we share tips for installing the Blum hidden hinge in laminated Baltic birch plywood cabinet doors and modifications needed to be able to install hinge cap to the 80/20 aluminum framing. Shout out to ‪@ourkaravan‬ who showed us how to do this based on his van build (which is excellent btw!)

Thank you for watching! I’m not sure how the blum hinges will fit with the 10 series. We followed recommendations from FarOut rides so you might check out his page to see if he has any info on using 10 series aluminum. And we bolted the 8020 aluminum directly to the van for our cabinets. Our bed frame supports are attached to a structural steel plate behind the wall because we felt we needed that extra reinforcement to support the bed. But other than that, the rest of our 8020 is bolted directly to the van!

It looks awesome! I’m also gonna do the same on my van, but I am planning to use 10 series 8020 to save some spaces. Do you think the hinges fits well with 10 series? Also, I was curious about securing the 8020 cabinets. Do you bolt them down to the sheet metals underneath or just bolt them to the factory mounting hole on the side?
