Upper Cabinet Design
Lower Cabinet Design

Panels & Fastener Type (I ordered the plastic RAM panels & will most likely use the lowers permanently)

I have already spent just over $7,000C including tax (we have 12% sales tax where I live).
Some Items On My Design Radar;
Water distribution; 44 gal (twin CC WW Tanks) combining or separating / Isotherm & possible poisoning / other means of hot water (propane)
Super Insulation the TF130 (efficiency)
120vac distribution (how many plugs - we have 6 plugs in van #1 & rarely use any of them)
Where to place shore power plug "rear corner or side" of Driver's side
Battery Placement
Heater Placement
Power Center Placement
Propane Distribution Lines (also propane locker design / marine hatches / floor vents / etc)
Design Simplifications (less is more)
Space & Dimensional Tweeks (van design space "inches" or "fractions of inches" can be critical to better designs
How the Factory Swivel Seats "ergonomics feel" in relation to foot rest and closeness of build and if batteries can go behind the drivers seat and not impede function of the swivels - what say you
@SteveSS ??
Upper cabinet supports; currently thinking of the support system and picking up the logical van wall "lip" as a bottom support system - I think it is "straight/level" thru out?
Running 12vdc wires under the floor system to get to the fridge side 😳
Water pump and setup (adding spinweld fittings to the front of my
@Curious Campervans WW Tanks)
Mattress Height "ergonomics" in relation to floor height
