The drawing of the fan @2:39 is excellent. I'm going to use that drawing in my next build.

I love how you did this! I’m working on a small school bus conversion and I think I’ll do my ceiling this same way! I love how it looks, so polished ❤️

Thank you! Yes we love it and do one in almost all of our builds

Great job James clearing up the measuring of the fan cutout! So impressed with you two, how well you both work together and the finished vans you've done. A fan from out in BC living on a sailboat!

Did the brad nails hold? Or did any fall/loosen over time?

We sold this van so we can’t be sure but we nail in at different angles to fight loosening - you can also add wood glue for good measure!

This is from our first build series and we've improved a lot since this build! Check out our latest van tour if you're interested in seeing what we've been up to recently 😊

What kind of wood did you use for the slats?

@jenniejames

These days we use nice 1x3’s but that was actually just 3/8 ply ripped into 2 1/2” strips

You guys are a vibe. Question; I'm a bit anxious about drilling the plywood straight into the ceiling beams as there is no way to prevent the hole from rusting. What are your guys thoughts on this?

We did a 1/2” gap! Good luck on your build!

What was the measurement of the wood slats you put up for the ceiling? Did you guys stain them with the same color you used for the plywood?

@jenniejames

Good question, we should have mentioned this! We cut the slats 2.5" wide, and stained them a much lighter brown than the backing ply 😊

@@jenniejames ceiling looks great! I’m looking Into doing this in my van but struggling to find slats that won’t add loads of weight. Did you cut the slats from 2.5” wide from a piece of ply? If so how thick was the ply?

Hi thank you for the video.. any way you might still know the brand? color, name of the stain you used? you held up the can but I can't make out the name Thank you

I believe it was called tree bark - it’s a solid stain from Home Hardware that I diluted slightly

How thick was the plywood U used to attach the slats to? and did U make the slats from ply and how thick?

Did you just cut the strips out of plywood?

@jenniejames

Yes we did! We've also used 1x3 planks which are quite a bit heavier. I would recommend the ply strips if you're going with a darker ceiling look, but if its a lighter ceiling stain, the side of the ply shows and it doesn't look as good, so in that case I would go with the 1x3 planks
