I am able to charge my phone while charging the station at the same time. Havn't tried the other ports yet while charging the station...

Awesome! Thank you!!

I Do! I purchased on Ebay... search for "Trunk Liner Carpet" and you'll find what you need: www.ebay.com/itm/222523330275?_skw=trunk+liner+carpet&itmmeta=01JCPXC0X39CSMPQAPNY02K9NV&hash=item33cf6c8ee3%3Ag%3A%7EskAAOSw0wRaHzqP&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKm9xjjyRKMcLQy%2F2yOm%2FyzpItpHMPTyi4ve8%2FURVibqNfPbPLWjyhtfNwkqBaFClnj%2FVFeVnDw%2BCxdZoSeaMNv5d3eWf9tojYlifsp9PaUBgk2Jf8%2FeDHbm9%2B9KmOlTVrgyZ6S4PYzeIThZeH3NGpjllvWhNTtfjASraihcXC8wi5O884d%2BqDhN4Cv5BcQTPup8ypBlMHtlw7FC3e2oocInG0BvLYjW3GDtrLrZoweZO%2FL17r83%2FiaWotVj745mlh3dFeRxhdQkyBhYeq67OUlk6vCdoLSBK2LZVQFGPBkVkQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-qOsN3lZA&var=521370938974

Thank you so much for checking out the video, glad you liked it! Appreciate the comment! al

Thanks for the question... this particular tape didn't have a top paper on it. Don't have to peel it.

@OregonBatman oh, I thought it did. Thanks for answering.

@@dreamlookautodetailingauto3353 You are very welcome!

Je crois que c'est exact... Je n'ai pas encore pesé la camionnette. Je suppose que j'ai ajouté 2 000 livres pour la construction. Le poids à vide de la fourgonnette est de 4 895 livres. Donc je suppose qu'il pèse environ 7 000 livres

Appreciate the input! One of these days, might make the switch... hard habit to break!

Purchased at Affordable RVing... affordablervparts.com/products/filon-171269881 Thank you for watching! Love the comment!

On the contrary... I doulble insulated the walls and filled that space. Very comfortable inside

Hi there! Thanks for checking out the video... I am totally satisfied with how the wires were ran, gives me peace of mind knowing I won't have any leaks on the roof by using the traditional glands. Thanks again, al

Awesome! Thnak you for watching! Eternabond tape will definitely help to seal those edges! Thanks again, al

Thank you very much!! I know mine was overkill, but worked really great for me! Happy building!

I purchased the carpet on Ebay... just do a search for trunk liner carpet and you'll find what you're looking for! Thank you for watching!

To attach the paneling to the wall, I used #6 x 3/4 Inch Phillips Oval Head Tapping Screws. Black Oxide... Thank you for checking out the video!

Good observation... I used the two thirds rule for the frame and axle placement. The trailer weighed in at 1000 pounds, so a good tongue weight would be 10 to 15 percent (100 to 150 pounds). My tongue weight was right around 170 pounds (with battery in front). Once you load the galley and refigerator, put gear in the cabin (to the rear), propane tank behind the wheels, you have no excessive tongue weight. I think it was the optimal placement and tows straight. Had no bounce towing behind my Jeep with a 2000 pound tow limit. Appreciate the comment and thank you for checking out the video!

Real close!! After finishing the build, took it to the weigh station and it came in right about 1000 pounds!

Absolutely! After owning for several years, fires right up and runs strong! Works great and love it!

Thanks for checking out the video! Once the skins were installed and the offset huricane hinge, there was good clearance for the seal. Installed seal in the trim as well as under the aluminum t-channel. Definitely made for a watertight seal! Thanks again!

Thanks so much for checking out the video!! I used the 1/4-20 rivnuts... I had tons of them. :)

The fans provide a strong cross breeze... bringing in the ambient temperature from outside, it doesn't actually cool the van down. If you are wanting to cool the van, I would suggest an A/C. Thanks for checking the video out!

Happy with mine as well... haven't started it in two years. Changed the oil, drained gas and refilled, two pulls and fired right up! Great little unit!

Hey there @claytonsaunders3177 !! Thank you for watching, and congratulation on your build, you'll be on the road in no time! I left a small gap between the trim and the tape, so when I sealed the sides with proflex, I had a nice clean look when I peeled the tape. Thanks again, AL

I used 1 x 4 clear pine... very light and very strong. Easy to work with

Those would be... 1 x 4's

Absolutely... a lot of builders use that method. I am more concerned that over time with the vibrations that the van experiences, the screws will loosen and a good bump will cause the adhesive to come loose, then you will have to do major repairs. I am confident, this build will not fall apart!

Thank you! That is absolute truth!

Got these at Vintage Technologies (or Ebay)... part number HT11-01-BLK

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch.

The window is close to the rear corner which has a substantial amount of aluminum, and the cabinet on the other side of the window also adds to any support needed. There is no load on the roof, so no pressure pushing down. The walls also add support as they are fastened to the frame members throughout. No sill plate needed

Thanks for the info

As long as you won't be needing to get to those places later once filled... I think it would work great! Probably the best thing I did was double insulated the walls. Wished I had enough to double the ceiling as well

Thanks for following along! I used 1 x 3 clear pine for the framing... not extremely expensive, but not the cheap split it wide opening kind either! :) Really strong, light, and straight! Easy to work with too! Love this stuff!

Coming from the boating industry made me do it... :) Not only that, but a lot of first time builders struggle to make a straight line, so... I gave options :) Thank you for checking it out and for the compliment!

Thank you for the compliment!! The purpose behind the low cost, is to get people motivated enough to actually build something of their own they can be proud of. I think it worked... sold many plans and saw a lot of progress from first timers building their own camper. Priceless......... :)

Thank you! The cost back then was way cheaper! :) I think It cost a little over $7500 then. Might be $1000 to $1500 more today!

Awesome! Thank you for watching again! The black material is the insulation... 3M Thinsulate. 1-1/2" thick, two layers on the walls. Excellent material!

Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment! Thank you for watching

I don't see why not... it is a good filtration unit

Never thought about that... but you are right! LOL! :) Hope someone appreciates it!

どうもありがとうございます！ご視聴いただきありがとうございました！

I think it was right around 48"... that way I didn't have to splice it or have a seam

@@OregonBatman ah good good, thanks

@@macbethdemilo7253 You're welcome!

Oregon doesn't require trailer brakes... and most states require a braking system if trailer is above 3000 lbs dry weight. No way would I add an extra 1000 lbs to the 2000 lb trailer. I could have gone with a 6000 lb axle, but that would have been really stiff! :)

Thank you! Thanks for taking the time to watch!

Not exactly sure what you mean... but I did my whole teardtop with this and it is ALL still holding up. The point is, if is glued properly, it will not lift or peel. Appreciate the comment!

@@OregonBatman As well it should be. It is industry norm for class A motorhomes.

@@thepoetryofjp I totally agree! It really baffles me that some people build RV's and Teardrops and try to "float" filon on... Filon is not meant for floating! :)

The weekender is designed to have a daggerboard... I chose not to install it. I believe any type of sail will work as long as the center of effort stays the same. Too far forward and it may dip the bow. Too far aft and the bow will lift and lose speed.

​@@OregonBatman Thank you for respond.I am planning to build one for Mediterranean sea.

@@erefayn6492 Awesome! Happy building! You will have a great time!
