Cabinet Install and Painting Tips: Part 36 - RAM Promaster 2500 Van Conversion
Hey All Welcome to the next episode in our van build series. Do you remember those cabinets we built a bunch of episodes back? Well, we’ve made a few changes to them and, today, we are going to get them installed in our van.
Since the start of these cabinets, one of our main goals has been safety……so much so that we made an entire video on it
In today's video, we will take you step by step through how we hung our cabinets to ensure they are rock solid. We use a combo platter of fasteners to make sure that those cabinets will never come loose. After we hang the cabinets, Tania will be by to show you some great tips on giving the cabinets and walls a beautiful paint job. She’ll go through all the tools and techniques you’ll need to give a great finish to your van.
If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment below, and please give a thumbs-up if you enjoyed this video and found in helpful to you. Subscribe to our channel to follow along on our entire van build series.
Blessings to you
Marc and Tania

You two are so adorable and entertaining. I’m binge watching your channel. I’m so grateful you are sharing your knowledge (and you make it funny and look so easy). I loved the black wall, a very creative touch that brings more dimension to a small space👍🏼 You guys deserve 100k subscribers or your own cable show🏆🎬✨

You are so sweet. Thank you :) and so glad you are enjoying the videos....and all our antics :)
You’re back! The cabinets and wall look great. I did my cabinets pretty much the same way you did, though I gave up on those plus nuts and put mine up with 2 1/2” screws right into the shiplap and layers of framing that were bolted to the van frame. I felt the same way you did- thought for sure the whole wall would come tumbling down but it’s still holding steady. I had an inverter installed last week (the one and only task I farmed out) and now I can charge my Bluetti while I drive from the van battery if solar isn’t enough. As soon as I work out the kinks of being connected to internet all the time, I can work on the road. Can’t wait! So good to see you guys back. I can’t wait to see more. Great job!

Hi Trish, So glad to hear from you. The Plus Nuts are a royal pain if you ask me.....but they are pretty amazing in holding power. Cabinet screws are really good as well. I see many van builders out there that just use screws and it seems to hold rock solid. Building a van is a lesson in patience and learning to trust your instinct, I guess. I am constantly thinking through tasks trying to figure out what I am about to mess up. But it does seem to work out in the end :)

@@perrellapartyof5 one more question Marc. What are the exact hinges you are using for your upper cabinets? I have framed cabinets and I can’t find a hinge that doesn’t leave about a 1” gap at the top. You are my last hope before I have to trim off 1” from the bottom of the doors, or cut out the frame. Because I can’t find full overlay framed hinges. Only frameless.

@@trishwhitehouse6536 Hi Trish, Tania actually just bought some hinges based on recommendations from Sara and Alex James. But I have not had the chance to try them out yet. If you can give me till the weekend, I can see how they work. We have face frames and shaker doors....is your setup the same?

@@marctania2349 yes. Exactly the same. I think I still have your email address- I’ll send you pictures. Thanks- this one has me stumped and we’re smacking our heads on the 1” that hangs down past the edge now. 😩🤣
Nice progress, everything is looking good 👍
