In this video I show how I frame out the van using furring strips. These furring strips provide a way to to attach my shiplap wall and ceiling boards. You want to make sure these furring strips are super secure so they don't squeak or rattle and last the life of the van. I show you exactly how to determine location and how to attach the furring strips.
