Very nice Saline.

But it looks like you miss one Exhaust rubber in the back... ;-)

Very nice work! Is that a propane tank or an air tank under the rear overhang? Either way that location would kind of scare me on an EB van...

It's a propane tank. It's tucked up nicely in there and in reality would be still further back than an RB tail end. It's even with the rear spring hanger so the likelihood of it getting hit is very unlikely.
After years of very extensive off roading in an EB van I've never come close to even hitting the underfloor storage. I've hit the receiver hitch more times than I can count though.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense now that you mention it. I’ve dragged the hitch on my EB on a few occasions, even though I don’t take it off road (2WD). But my rear underfloor storage box is ok.

I had my air tank mounted on my rock crawler in the same place...never once hit it....good call!!

I really like the way you did the interior, very professional. But you must have spent a lot of hours in the design and build.

Thanks for the comments.
I spent a lot of time pricing it all together in my mind. Other than some rough sketches I built it as I went.

I pic from my commute to work yesterday.

Summer fire season was busy again with being deployed out of the city and even state for that matter so that meant not a lot of van progress.
I did however get another small cabinet built in a spot that was pretty much wasted space. I'm mostly done with it other than the interior lighting.

* It's almost 2019 and we get photos oriented correctly from a Mars rover, not so much when posting on the forum.
