    The best part about doing projects with your dad is that you get to feel what it's like to be 5 years old again. It's not necessarily their fault either... they hover, you feel self-conscious and end up doing something a 5-year-old would do.

    I do not have a van, but do have a camper and have often thought about cutting doors (like cabinet doors) under our bed-space for easy access as well. Those places are always such a pain to access. Loved this video, and am enjoying seeing you and your dad spending time together in the last two videos!❤

    I fully appreciate your dad’s dilemma having a grown daughter myself who likes to run her own show but is still learning the ends and outs of “handyperson” skills. Sometimes it’s beneficial from a skill acquisition perspective to make mistakes and learn from those mistakes but as a dad it’s hard to just standby and watch that learning process take place. I think there are probably a lot of us dads in that situation. Great video.

    I miss my brother’s dodge promaster van that I built out for him. I put a lot of work into it and was a fun learning experience. Now I have a great idea for the next one for myself whenever I can do it. Right now I just use my camping fishing combo trailer I made that has a rooftop tent and awning. And God bless southern women!

    I know you are probably already done with this project by now but to access the storage under the bed you could cut hatches in the end by the back door so you could use them by opening the rear door.

Also, since you're 5'-7" and you need just a little more room to sleep sideways, removing your socks and shaving your head will give you an extra three or four millimeters, Problem solved..you're welcome. 😎

Pops was waiting for the right moment to commandeer that sander. 😂 I like the new bed setup. It really opens up the space and provides easier storage access. Well done young lady. 👏 ✌️

    It’s great to see that your camper van is getting a remodel. Apparently my gas hand in my Ram 1500 has quit working because of a failing fuel sensor in my fuel pump which I’m replacing the entire fuel pump and getting a new one. Can’t wait to see the Disco 2 camper build later on.
