In the 22nd video in our van build series, we got started on the upper cabinets to go on the passenger side above our kitchen and bedroom. Unfortunately we ran out of time to finish these before going on vacation, so we'll be back with part 2 to install the hinges & doors, false bottoms (for undercabinet puck lights) and the third cabinet that goes over our bench seat on the driver's side!
