Starting our FRP Shower & Testing Our A/C & Heated Floor | 2021 Ford Transit Van Build Ep. 34

This week we started building our shower walls and shower pan out of FRP. Mike built the shower pan out of plywood and planned to seal it with fiberglass and resin, but that didn't go exactly to plan, so we will have to finish the job in a later week. We also tested the performance and battery usage of our Dometic RTX 2000 air conditioner and our QuietWarmth heated floor.
