Remember to leave a COMMENT if you found this helpful!

This is the 14th build episode where we finish off the amazing cedar ceiling and rear cladding and create our own wooden trim out of construction timber on the table saw to create a sleek looking finish at the back of the van.

Once completed we will move into my van to join the van life movement in Australia, allowing us to live, and travel full time! We cannot wait to get out there and overland Australia

We appreciate all comments, feedback and constructive criticism along the way!
