Interior Walls Installation

We've had a few questions on how we put up our walls inside the van, so here's a quick run down on what we did. We even have some video, (below) and although it's not as complete as we would like, it sort of gets the point across.Basically what we did is used furring strips attached to the van, and cedar tongue and groove paneling attached to the furring strips.https://youtu.be/vMYFVTvg5mYWe made the furring strips out of 1/2" AC plywood, cut into 3" wide and 2" wide strips. 3" for the walls, and 2" for the ceiling. Using 1-1/4" self-tapping sheet metal screws, we screwed the furring strips to the van at roughly 3-foot intervals, keeping them as parallel with each other as possible.The paneling is 1/4" x 4" Tongue and Groove cedar, and using 1" black, self-tapping wood screws, we attached the cedar to the furring strips. We also came up with a creative way to make a home made "trim ring" around the window, (see other video below).https://youtu.be/1jXRVcJGIzcWe wish we could have made a more complete, start-to-finish video, but Shannon had already accepted a gig in Arizona by the time we got to putting up the cedar, and we had a lot left to build in the van in a very short time. And shooting a step-by-step video of a project takes about 3 times longer than just doing the project itself. But hopefully what we put together here helps illustrate how we did it.
