The galley unit is an essential component to any camper van build or van conversion. I chose to use 80/20 aluminum extrusions, an undermount granite composite sink, a 12 volt DC fridge, and custom made blum drawers. I hope that you find inspiration from this galley unit install.

    Game changer when you discovered issue with arm hitting frame while reach for sink. LOVED, the quick switcheroo of the cabinet frames. Got to love the versatility of 80/20. You are an awesome teacher.. I am a 67 yo female who appreciates your easy to understand videos. You make me laugh and smile. Thank you!

  • ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Great video! Thank you for sharing your build process. I plan to use 80/20 for my build but have never used it so it really helps seeing all the possibilities with it. Canโ€™t wait for your next video!

    Bro, I am an experienced cabinet maker and have seen all kinds of skill levels over the years. What you have learned and produced in this short period of time and of course you're materials and tool knowledge is totally amazing! Brilliant and well done!! I can't wait to see your next project!! Keep it up, you're going places. (Pun intended) :)

    Great video! At this speed I should be done in about 3 years. So funny! I'm building my first van and it is taking so much longer than I thought it would. I have two videos up but they are so bad. Need to make a new one. I'm much further in my project and totally dream about it. literally spend hours thinking about how to fit something. I really like a lot of your ideas!
