Camper van project (3)

Here are the last pictures from the build, and some from my travels so far.

In hindsight, I should probably have put the sink as close to the edge as possible, and the faucet behind, in between the sink and wall.

I got help with the electrics from my friend, the best car mechanic in Norway. I know so little about electrics that he's basically a wizard, boi can fix anything.

This white box is the brains for the solar setup, I can check everything on it even temperature. I still have some cable management to do also

That's it for the build. At this point it was usable so I went ahead and started my little adventure. There are still some small thigs to fix, but nothing I can't do on the road whenever I have some extra time.

The van is very usable, and I'm glad I didn't insulate it, I think I'd melt in the mornings and I'll never camp in winter with it anyway.

Thanks for taking a look and following along!
