Sunday morning van build chaos: Watch me battle gravity while installing ceiling insulation in my Toyota Hiace campervan conversion!<br />Those fluffy insulation batts remind me of Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street - sorry Snuffy, you're now part of my van walls! 🐘<br />This episode showcases real DIY van building challenges as I tackle:<br />✅ Ceiling insulation installation<br />✅ Creating spaces for LED downlights<br />✅ Boxing out the ventilation fan area<br />✅ Setting up electrical wiring pathways<br />My "why rush?"
