Project Lone Peak Camper EP 8 | DIY Countertops

Welcome back to the Lone Peak buildout series! In this episode, we finally get rid of the "topless" aluminum frame and start making this truck camper feel like a home.

We take advantage of a rare sunny November day to cut and stain the wood countertops for the benches and kitchen area. I walk you through our process for creating lightweight sliding cabinet doors using plastic panels and a step-bit for clean finger pulls. Plus, we tackle the installation of gas struts for the bench lids—drilling out brackets and finding the perfect mounting angle to keep them opening smoothly.

In this video:

Staining and prepping the wood countertops.
Installing sliding cabinet doors with custom finger holes.
Mounting gas struts for the chest-style storage benches.
Prepping the sink area and installing the inverter remote switch.
