Soon time to swap out the temporary doors.

Got the OG door from a friend.
Thanks again Demian.

It was in pretty bad condition.

Repaired a inner structure.

Then took the old skin and folded it back on the better structure.

Still got the lower left to do.

And tried out the BD window frame.
Don’t got any early hinge frames. Only got the newer BD frames and windows.

Had put two sofas in the bus.
But slept really bad on does.
Started to make my own camping box.

Made it with only wood plugs cus it sort of made more sense then use screws. Rolling Eyes

First test fit. And I realize the the drawers where taking away almost all space for the feet’s.
Ended up cuting it and flipping the top section around.
Don’t have a fresh picture of it. Will try to put it in here.

Hope y’all have/had a great summer.
