I've been working the past several weeks, as time permitted, on the galley side of the build, but as I started the interior build, I decided I wanted to repaint the the inside floor pack to be more like FWC factory color. Didn't need it, but it did give it a fresher look before the next steps.
My plans are to have the Isotherm Cruise 130L fridge in the rear driver side corner. The heater right next to it moving forward. The base under the fridge was the starting point for the interior build. It will include three drawers under the fridge when completed.
Next I competed the front wall for the water tank, and the battery compartment, as well as the base for the Galley cabinets, which will also have two additional pull out drawers. Right now I'm thinking of using the soft close automatic closing drawer slides. They make some specific for campers so they stay closed while traveling. This type of drawer slide, though more pricy, allows the drawer to be fully extended out from the cabinet for easier access to contents.
Because I couldn't see an easy way to get everything in place as I thought through the layout of the cabinets, I decided to just make individual components, much like cabinets in houses are made. That way I just figured each section out, with the particular measurements and configuration, one piece at a time.
First I set the fridge and heater in to determine measurements and layout. And then I began to build each component as described above.
