The bed frame with the hideaway table was only one part of my winters interior project. The overhead cabinets behind the cockpit have been removed as will the overhead kitchen cabinets.
Wood had been purchased and cabinet making will commence shortly...probably tomorrow. Today we went looking at store bought cabinets and I decided it was simpler to build the doors the size I want than modify new stuff...considerably less expensive also.
Once the cabinets are built and test fit but before they are installed permanently, I'll pull the drivers side wall and insulate before recovering with FRP with glued on vinyl. Already did the passenger side.
Headliner will be FRP with something glued to it. Thinking a white or off white vinyl.
But once the wall and ceiling are out and before ANYTHING goes in, I'm going to find and stop any leaks.

Kerry,
there are a number of cabinet parts outfits that furnish the parts unfinished or prefinished, assembled or RTA. For cabinet doors, drawer fronts and dovetailed drawer boxes it's tough to beat their delivery speed, quality and finish, and the prices aren't bad either. Custom-sizing is what they do, so you won't get beat up for having oddball dimensions. Lots of finishes, lots of door face and edge styles.
On a larger project, such as a residential kitchen, it might make more sense to build the stuff yourself, or have a local do it for you. Considering what your time is worth while you could be working on another part of the project, and the small amount of stuff required for a GMC, it's well worth looking into what it would cost through CabParts or another outfit close to your neck of the woods.
