    The degreaser idea was brilliant! I am also really liking the kitchen vs functionality ideas. Go Betsy! 🎉🙂
  • You should of used a high pressure washer with degreaser and then soapy water and wash out the dirt etc inside. Also getting the foam blocks off use a heat gun or hairdryer to heat and soften the abrasive to then pull them off or at least get off easier than scraping with a blade.
  • Just a thought. You are putting solar on the roof if so then why not put a removable battery pack or packs in the van that way you can take them out and use them outside of the van. Just be handy to use stored power at home when the van isn't being driven around. It would be a waste so to speak having them permanently fitted inside.
  • Hello, Betsy. You just gained another subscriber. I'm from Brazil and by chance your video came across to me. I'm also interested in having my van and see what I can learn there. Furthermore, I wish you luck and strength in your project. Sorry for my poor English (google translate). See ya.
