No internet today , I'm in a parking lot checking in.
I'll go with whatever The Wiz decides.

Glad to hear you've re classified the build !

Let McCartney decide ? ,,,I kinda like that solution !
I bet he'd join vandweller (or at least YARC ) if he knew we existed......

Been a rough week—.  Air in, air out
Ok

After raising the bed (on wheel wells) frame a bit for more battery storage, I needed to span the center leg gap-to-floor..  sooooo. Of course, I improvised- lol
Random bit of pvc adapter and a big washer.. and it is perfect!
   
   

And a bit of ‘battery bondage’ 
   

Rare overcast morning light- just at sun-up- but still enough to kick my scc into charge mode.. not Much power coming in, but it’s trying—- lol ((the dog helps  ))

Battery bondage is a necessity living in a van . Interesting application. I see you got a little carried away.....

Using up what you already have is a must do too.

Nice adjustable leg hack. 200 amp/hr should be gravy.

Began the complete rebuild of the over-bed shelf.. have it all figured out, but hit a brief roadblock with reconstruction.  I need to be able to get a box wrench behind the support board to reattach it to the side wall after I assemble the supports..  (pics to explain after I re-acquire said 3/4” flat wrench. *eyeroll* apparently mine has been ‘borrowed’ into obscurity… )
Then I can put it together with clearance measurements that will allow for re-bolting.

As a teaser- this is the old shelf.. the standard white wire style- (which will get repurposed, of course)

   
I found the ‘deck tensioner’ at the hardware store has the same giant lug-bolt size as the old seat belt attachment points. And it seems plenty structurally sound to hold a few duffles of clothes and a some bits of wood.  Yeah- I improvised again..

You should see the wacky shelf/brace design I am building…. Lol
New one will drop down about another 6” but not be quite as long.. I figure 3’x1’x6” should be plenty for some soft storage.    And the other ‘fin’ can be used for tie downs or hang points or..?

It will make sense later- promise
