Instead of measuring it out, you can just put the velcro other side on, remove the tape backing, then put the panel up and it will be in the right spot... You can do one at a time or a side at a time, all at once, etc... much easier.

I thought this too. But then wouldnt it be simpler to just use an equally as strong double sided tape/adhesive and skip the velcro part altogether?

I really like how you highlight your techniques and thought process rather than just another build video. It brings to mind the saying of "teach a man to fish..."

An easier way to line up your duel lock tape would have been to 1-mount the first piece of tape to the van wall, 2-snap the second piece to those mounted to the wall, 3-peal the backing off the second piece of tape, 4-press your board to the tape/ van wall so the sticky part sticks to the board. Way less measuring and they are guaranteed to line up. I really like your approach to putting walls up. Thanks for all the great info.

Great suggestion! I tried this approach initially but found that the adhesion to the panels was greatly improved if I sanded, cleaned, and applied pressure directly to each piece of dual lock. That being said, the method you mentioned would save quite a bit of time.

Same thought

Love your "thinking" approach - you're an inspiration! Rear door templates - suggest using clear plastic - the kind you'd use for perhaps a tent window. Stick it to the door with some double-sided tape, then mark your outline (and any holes needed, including for fixing the final panel in place). A bit more expensive but sooooo easy and accurate.

plastic would work well and certainly be easier than paper, but then you have trashed a whole bunch of plastic... usually vinyl which is particularly nasty. Brown paper can be recycled or composted.

I love the level of professionalism you put in your van & the clear way you describe all of the things you do. This is all a great inspiration for my own vanbuild, thanks & keep up the good work !

OMG, I am actually learning stuff in your build videos. I've heard scribing so many times, but I've never really learned how to do it until you showed it here. Thank you so much.

I respect how you prioritize aesthetics highly and are willing to take the time and make the investment to achieve a high level of aesthetics, function, and quality.

Great job! Just binged the entire series. Very impressive . You must be so proud of yourself, deservedly so.

Happy Dance! Love the build. It’s just amazing! Thanks for sharing every part of the build process with us!

Finally! Precision and attention to detail. Love it.

Incredible job. Love it!

@seven o savage, I have a couple questions. 1. How well did this hold up over time in hot and/or humid environments? 2. Do you think it would work to cut corresponding opposite pieces of the velcro, mesh it with the bulkhead pieces, peel the backing off, and then position the wall panels and press them into place?

Completely awesome using the Velcro. Great idea.

Great job!! Looks great...thank you for the step by step measuring tips on the paneling.

Man you are handy and talented and very thorough for someone your age. I'm handier than most people twice my age and here I am learning stuff from you. very simple and easy to understand Ways of making accurate measurements. I'm going to binge watch this building project now thank you very much

You’re doing an excellent job, I’ve learned so much. Thanks for sharing. I picked up my Alpine swivel seats yesterday at the Luftcraft office in Colorado Springs. 🎉

Absolutely the best video on how to scribe and template. Thank you for sharing!

You have really great ideas & designs. I love the aesthetics. Well done with all your work.

Yea !!! New Vid Your Back. ALWAYS Great Job !!!

I like what you did on your van with the removable panels great idea 💡 and looks great 👍

Wonderful job! I hope you've had many excellent adventures since you've finished.

Awesome Job! Savage! You really know how to do the job, you must be an engineer with your very knowledgeable skills. Thank you for your in depth explanation on how you did the whole job. Absolutely amazing design!

You did a fantastic job with your van build. It’s looks absolutely amazing. I love the perfectionist in you. I bet that van build built a lot of character in you as well. You inspired me. Thanks & keep up the great work. I’m looking forward to your travels vlogs.

Once again, you have impressed me with your attention to details. Your videos are so very well done. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Van is looking great!

Character / wisdom comes if paid out of your own hard earned bank account with consequences like not being able to eat if big errors ocurr. That is where the saying being hungry to suceed comes from. I know of 1 guy who inherited $440 mil then failed at every business he tried, he never developed character nor maturity. He continues to lie about any contest he enters even in to his late 70s. Errors with personal consequences makes the man.

What an amazing job,it’s always the end results that are so satisfying,

Great job kiddo! I love the panels. With the “Velcro-ish” tape- I use that stuff on projects- not as big and complex as paneling a van though- (yet!) you would save a lot of time by keeping the two pieces locked together and applying it to either rage van or the panel. Then remove the outer paper to reveal the sticky side and apply the panel to the wall. It would save you all that measuring. I really admire your tenacity in that part of the project! I hope my suggestion description made sense. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Wow I’m in love with this😍. I just bought a 96 Dodge Ram 2500 conversion van to gut and built out...with only about a months time and zero no how lol. BUT I’m covid unemployed and endlessly excited which has to count for something. I think I might combine this method with painted bead board. Amazing work dude, thanks for sharing!!!

I like this concept. Bought this Velcro tape planning to using couple strips on backside of cedar planks. It really sticks to some thin carpeting avail at Home Depot that planning using on ceiling. I have 3 big windows so minimal wall space so will follow your lead using on panels.

It's a Masterpiece bro

So clever to make the walls precise but removable. It gives you more options if you want to change them up, paint them a different color or do something behind them. Noice.

Nice job, and good job on explaining your approach to the wall work. Just a thought, and I've had this thought as I watched other DIY RV videos, think about using bed liner paint on the silver surfaces in the van. Example: the crinkly bed liner paint would look great around the windows, and on the doors (back doors especially), the bed liner paint might provide some useful protection to offset the in and out traffic. Just a thought. All the best.

I think you have some great ideas, especially removable panels. I’m going to use white pvc 4’x8’ sheets to save all the work involved with wood.

Wow that nice van in your putting up the panels with Velcro Nice

Hey Seven as expected another Professional Job! Thank you for sharing! Another easier suggestion for installing Wall Paneling in a Van would be to use 1/4" Plus Nuts. Hold the Panel in place & Drill a Pilot hole through the Panel & Frame then the Plus Nut size drill into the metal frame. Install the Plus Nuts. This way you can finish the Panels with Finishing Washers & Screws and the Panels are Removable whenever needed. Another suggestions for Paneling the Windows is to Cut out the Window size 2" smaller so you can conceal Window Coverings/Blinds in the window for a Clean, Neat look. Cheers from Toronto, Canada!

I think it looks great..gave me good ideas..thanks

You're brilliant!

your work is impeccable. Baltic birch plywood is the best plywood you can buy, but an alternative is poplar plywood which is probably slightly lighter in weight and may be better if fitting wider panels (say) for cabinets and partitioning. You have obviously researched this build throughly - and it shows. great stuff.

Dude, this is genius! I'll do that myself

Brilliant!

Bro you’re making me jealous of your build! Fucking well done bro. Looks savage!

Its always interesting to see different people and how they created their vehicles. Always difficult sometimes to accept the truth of being less then the perfect you think !!! more difficult then you thought? lololo gives you appreciation in reality not just thought ...great video thanks for posting im inspired :)

Looking good Savage! Did you roll the product on? I got a glimps in one shot of your orbital sander, nice to know these little details. Those panels are perfect and going to last, so many people only paint one side, so important to protect wood by paint both sides, you are spot on. Love the idea of being able to disassemble to work on electrical or water line access.

I've watched a lot of your build stuff and many others and you are really doing a nice job man. Some nice skill on your end but also some great simple blue collar solutions to things along the way just like this velcro build LOL. Stuff like this I have thought of myself along the way the last 18 mths and it is good for all kinds of skill or budget level for people. I say again -- Nice work dude. I have sent some of your videos / ideas to people I know also along the way. Like way back on your cheaper cell phone solution -- I sent that to friends in the USSA along with my own research for them.

your patience and precision is next level. Congrats. 20:24 3M or Scotch Dual Lock Tape.

U had me at the quote

new to your channel - some great stuff! pretty excited to add this to my resources. Quick note about plywood - so each ply is laminated in opposing grain direction - so if there are 3 plys, 2 will be one direction, 1 will be the other so the exterior grain direction is not necessarily the whole grain direction for all the other plys. Not trying to invalidate your choice, if its so few plys on such think material, it could be significant enough to affect what you are trying to do, just want to add more info for others. Not sure how many ply's 1/8 inch has but just something for others in the comments here to think about if they do something similar and happen on the same problem.

Wow those panels look great. It's very cool that they're removable too. I like the metal around the windows too, as now you can use magnetic window covers and insect screens.

Love the idea of using duplicate for the wall panels. Hold is it holding up with heat and cold fluctuations? Would live to apply this method to our van.

Brilliant.

Thank you for sharing your approach on your van wall panels. How are the Dual Lock tabs holding up? Getting ready to do a van and just wanted to know. Thank you and save travels.
