How are they holding up? Seems like hanging them with just wood screws would be prone to loosening up over time with vibration. I'm thinking about using toggle bolts.
When attaching these to the ceiling furring strips, how are you handling the 1/4” height difference from where the pine t&g and cabinets over lap? Doesn’t that create a gap between the cabinet top and furring?
Great video guys! I can't wait for more! As a cabinet builder, I love to see how others do their builds and have them look so great. How is the paint holding up to chipping or water?

Thank you! Hopefully you didn’t have too many critiques as a real pro ;) The paint has held up great so far on our last couple vans (oldest being >2 yrs on the road now)

@@TimKatie glue and pocket screws are amazingly strong and I use them whenever appropriate. I find the door lift shocks a bit tricky, so kudos for making it look easy. With one shock done to satisfaction, clamp the second open door to the first to hold them equal.
How did you squire cabinets to the van? Did you squire it to the floor of the van? Or did you just eyeball it?
What are the measurements of each section of wood?
What's the thickness of the wood you used? Is it lower than 1/2 plywood? It seems thin

Are you using the brand named screws or did you find a more generic/cost effective version?

We just stick with the brand name Kreg pocket hole screws 👍🏻
