Thanks for looking!

I know about the mold and mildew, although I never experienced it. Do you know about any negatives of using foam insulation?

Van.

It depends which one you use. The rigid stuff is just that, rigid. But, like anything else, I can be done. There is new spray stuff I saw on HomeTime that I think would work well, if you have the room to spray.
Some foam is fire resistant, but some will catch fire. So that is another consideration.
My Elk Conversion is actually filled with fiberglass insulation. That may be the better solution.
Being in Florida, we always have to think about mold and mildew

Default Cargo Van Conversion | Monitor Console



Between the window and the side doors is a narrow strip of wall available to house a small console. It is the future location of the battery monitor and a reading light.

Magazine Rack (1)
Utilizing every available space is a priority; the area to the right of the rear side window is large enough to accommodate a magazine rack and is conveniently close to the bed. This will allow for some late night reading.

Default Cargo Van Conversion | Magazine Rack (2)



Before continuing with the assembly, the three front pieces that are made out of Tiger Maple, need some ‘popping’, that is, enhancing the visibility of the curl in the wood.
