I ordered some lights for the interior. I'll be installing recessed canned lighting. I ordered 8 of them I think they'll look pretty slick once installed. I'm pretty happy with how bright they are.

I have 3 colors with white staining from chems. Hard to fix even rinsing with an upholstery tool.

We now just use it as rust protection but plywood and marine carpet over it. You can clean the carpet and rip it out when it wears. The plywood provides a nice flat surface which is easier on the knees.

I like the gray better. Won't show detergent spills so bad. My black always looks dirty.
Now there is an endorsement. You heard it here first kids.

Well, the liner might have been a little overkill, but this is my chance to get it done easily, so I went for it. The floor is being covered with sealed 3/4" plywood and the walls will be lined with paneling and everything carpeted. I wasn't originally going to put the liner in, but I'm thinking about later on down the road. You can't have enough protection. After all, this is me we're talking about. It's not everyday I build out a van and I want to do it as best as I can. My resources are limited but i'll do it a piece at a time.

I like the grey as well. Use tire foam to clean. works great on plastic bumpers as well.

Damon we use this style, I will have to get you the specific brand and model number but they are great and only need 2 for more light than anyone would ever need.

Let me know if you need the numbers.

Thanks Bob. Well after adding it all up it was almost the same as doing a Linex. Oh well, I tried. It's like when you buy a Dang wand thinking you will save a few bucks then spend a bunch of time and money trying to get parts to fix it.

Do you guys think Tongue and Groove boards on the walls and ceiling would be too heavy in the Promaster?

It's not the weight, it would be weaker

The walls curve in a little, I self tapped to draw in

Don't rush!!!!

I added a aftermarket mod "breather hole" to my new fuel tank.
