Hiace Van Conversion Vlog - Installing Walls

In this video, we talk you through exactly how we built and finished the interior walls of Mel’s Toyota Hiace camper. From framing and roughing in cables to carpet, paneling, and painting — we cover what worked, what didn’t, and what we’d do differently next time. There were wins, but also a few learning moments (like pre-cutting the stretch carpet🙅🏻‍♂️). If you’re covering the inside of your own van, this will give you a solid idea of what to expect - no sugar-coating - with a beautiful result! 🔗 Affiliate Links (Supports the channel at no extra cost to you!) : 👉4-Way-Stretch Carpet: https://amzn.to/4kyvhXs 👉Spray Glue: https://amzn.to/3HgH26H What’s in this episode: ✅ Wall, ceiling & floor framing basics ✅ Why you need to run your cables early ✅ 4-way stretch carpet install tips (+ spray adhesive regrets) ✅ MDF wall panels: full sheets vs framed panels ✅ Building a simple custom nook ✅ Our paint job for a clean, textured finish 🎨 Want that textured paint finish?
