And here’s the roof deck. The little black things that look like cannons are flag poll holders. I put aluminum tent poles in them to hold up the nylon canopy

Nice build, good quality!! Any additional pictures and details of the van make and model?

what kind of van? any installation pics of the Minisplit?

I would love to see more pics of your build! Looks amazing from what I can see.
