Got the ceiling and the led lighting installed. Put the base for the upper cabinet in, mounting the roof top A/C tomorrow. Then starting on the base cabinets, so I can install the stove, sink fridge etc. Taking some time, but my work is a damm site cheaper that buying one already built.

Nice work as usual Bill.  :cooldude:   Please share your progress.

I was looking at a long and tall 2500 Dodge Sprinter today with a living space in the front half and open storage in the back.... but unclear if it had 8 feet for a Valkyrie back there.

This one is a little cramped with the bikes in it, but room for 2 interstates side by side, and my sons sport bike in the rear. Going to install folding bunk beds on the left rear side, and a folding dining set on the right that makes into a bed. Both sets fold up against the wall and only take 7 to 8 inches of space when stored. I have wheel chocks that unclip from the floor and 12 recessed tie down brackets that are flush in the floor when not in use. Takes a few min to unfold every thing, but should work well for camping, cheaper that motels.

Don't think it is a problem on this one, 7 ft ceiling, rear door is 6' 4 inches high in the center.
As long as I don't stand on the pegs. :coolsmiley:

Bill that is a great way to get just exactly what you want in a toy hauler. I know a fellow down here who did something similar. It's looking good.

Yep, led panels, 42 leds in each. They do a nice job, lights every thing up but not harsh.
Bought them off of Aliexpress, china site like ebay. $40 for 10 of  them including shipping.
