1. Hear about why weight is so important to manage in a conversion van.

2. We define exactly what 80/20 is and talk a little bit about its general properties. Hint: 80/20 is just a brand name!

3. Then we dive into where you can use 80/20 in your van conversion. It's pretty much everywhere, but here are the things we move recommend building with 80/20.

4. Our absolutely biggest tip for working with 80/20? Loosely fit things together first, and when you are all done use blue Loctite 242 to lock things together! this isn't just recommended, it's imperative!

5. Is there anything we would NOT build with 80/20? Probably just a single thing in an entire conversion van. That's right - the headliner shelf. Vancillary (code: EWVL for 10% off) makes great brackets and a 3/8" plywood shelf will suit all your needs.
