HEADLINER SHELF (Build & Install) - DIY Sprinter Van Conversion Ep.6

In this episode of our DIY Sprinter van conversion series, we build a headliner shelf from scratch and install it in the cab. If you're not aware of what a headliner shelf is, it's a shelf that goes above your heads in the cab area of your vehicle. Some vans have these installed already but ours did not and it seemed like a good opportunity to create some storage space!

Follow along on our journey while we build out a van, travel the world and Encompass Adventure!!
