It was a chase to get ready for our first official stem cell donor recruitment drive for #Matchesonthemap. It cost us some sleep and plenty of sweat, but in the end, we pulled it off! Started with making our mission known and branding Betsy from head to toe. Our branding partners - 4keepsakes - made a mark by assisting us with technical graphic design and printing of all of Betsy's branding for free!

The ceiling needed to be installed before final interior detailing could be done. Isoboard hooked us up with 30mm thermal insulation ceiling panels that we could easily cut, slot and fastened to the frame and fixtures. Lightweight and paintable - it made an excellent alternative to knotty pine.

I was pretty excited to get the roof rack and toolboxes done as it would round off Betsy's look and it meant we could install the exterior lights and solar panels. Johan from Automatech wired up the inverter, panels and batteries, but could not reach the minimum inverter startup voltage using only the three panels we had - to be continued.

Time was running out to get ready for the headliner event - Innibos 2023 and we pushed late nights and early mornings. Without some helping hands Betsy would not be ready for the show and possible matches would be missed.

The landing platform for the front door was a challenge, but many heads worked on the topic - eventually we came up with the perfect solution for our particular troubles - and the swing out platform was born.

We finished off by building some scissor steps and spending our first night in our new home on our first recruitment drive!
