Tip #87: Skin your van's walls with thin plywood.

If you want to keep from denting the body of your van from the inside, skin your walls with thin plywood.

This way, if you toss a tool, a heavy part, or a tool box onto a shelf it won't contact the metal wall of your van and dent it or push it out.

What else can you do with plywood walls skins?

  • Keep it plain or paint it to increase color contrast so it's easier to see things.
  • Mount hangers, hooks, or lightweight racks to it.
  • Run wiring behind it to keep wires clean.
