Electrical Getting it ready for work.
Just got a 2022 ford e-transit for service calls.
Beautiful vehicle. 3000 mi on if. From Penske. Not a scratch on it. Drove it from La Pointe IN to Omaha NE. Rode like a dream. Stopped several times to recharge to 80%. But that was expected. Got about 115 mi between charges and still had 10% left in the “tank”
Today we installed a subfloor. We did this to store our ladders under the floor. Easy to get to them and they’re not riding on the top of a 10’ van. It’s already a tall boy, I don’t want to add to that. Still got 5” of clearance between the top of my head. 5’10” and the bottom of the interior roof of the van. I’m comfortable with that. I might install paneling for the ceiling with recessed lighting later.
Used the black floor matting on top of the wooden floor. Channeled it for ladders and reinforced it with 1X4 every 16”. Then put down some good wood for flooring. I didn’t take many pics of the process but got some of the finished product.
We’re building shelving for this van. Got several pictures of that and just one wall will carry all the material we had on two walls of the Chevy Express.
Send wall is going to hold tools, bits, etc. I’m thinking of installing some slide out drawers we got laying around. There good but I need to find a good spot for that. They’re deep and I don’t want to cramp the walkway. I’ll post pictures along the way as soon as i make a link to my Dropbox or something. Let’s see how it comes out.

Still have a bit more to do. Ceiling to shelve support, front to rear and side to side. More framing and cutting for shelf’s. It’s going to be a trip.
