You’re in the tile industry and you know this trucks always bounce up and down. Your tile will fall in time if you don’t re-grout your tile . No one has time to keep re-grout and most don’t know how to. Rubber grout? Puhahha funny never heard of rubber grout. Has it been tested?

I especially like that you fitted a wet room complete with a shower and composting toilet and a wall separating the cab/front/driver seat, giving a more private and stealthy feeling when parking somewhere you might not legally sleep. I hope you can make a successful business out of doing client van builds.

Great build! I work in the field of emergency vehicular technologies, service and safety and we frequently work with solar panels. If I can give you an advice to improve your next builds, you should always leave a gap between your solar pannels and the roof of the vehicules. The contact between the panel and the sheet metal will produce overheating and will reduce the lifetime of the pannel. High temperature will also decrease the performance of the pannel. Continue the great Job!
