    The laid out for the wall looks like this:





    The bottom mount for the pump up ram when it comes to the diamond plate I hope to just slot it for the two sides of the mount to slip threw.



    I will take off the plywood again to use it as a template for the cut-outs of the diamond plate.



    What gets mounted to the walls is a spring clip on a rod called a "J" hook.That will hold rows of pre-packaged snack foods.In front of that is frame work that for now will get a simple counter top to hold containers of bulk snack food so people as a example can mix their own trail mix.Over time I will remove and develop containers that fit down into the frame work

    There is also stabilizer jacks that screw down for the trailer and we built bases for that as well.



    I guess i just want you all to get to know me better.How important the van build is to me.It certainly is my retirement business that before shutting it down to build a better situation to operate I have 15 yrs in it.

    Of course the Ole Yellar van is a suit-o toy to enjoy too.From that I want the best travel/comfort/show/custom attention getter I can possible build.The attention getter is in no small part advertizing for the business.

    The color of the trailer will match the color of the van.sort of like this color,but maybe alittle darker.The graphics is still a open canvas that I haven't worked out to the van yet and so I don't know how it will be on the trailer.



    I almost forgot that we mounted a light for the center cargo area and still need to finish the wiring.Still need to work out some lighting for the selling areas too.



    For the number of projects I spend money on,for most it would drive them to drink.Lucky for me I can't afford the booze.LOL

    The set up ready to do business should be about 20 minutes.
