Sorry, no help here. I’d get the oil and fuel filters changed at a shop due to not having a space, tools, or waste storage while driving around.

Not for the actual engine intake. Maybe for the cabin. You do need two fuel filters though.

I managed to put some drawers that pull out the back, but never ended up doing the “full” conversion I planned. Life changed a bit, we moved to a different area, and we only use it for camping a couple of times a year. It still works great for that.

We bought a 4-inch memory foam mattress. It’s 60cm wide by 180cm long.

@@DavidSandel Nice design! Thank you sooo much for the video! My only question: don't you feel the anchor through the matress? I would like to know, because we were thinking of making the bed higher due to this nasty piece of metal. ;)

@@Explositie I think I only felt the anchor once. It's actually placed right between us so we were never or rarely ever right on top of it.

@@DavidSandel Thanks! We made the bed a little bit higher, just in case ;) but your instructions helped us a looooot!

@@Explositie Glad to hear it!

i am converting a 97 hi top. If you are not going to be in cold climates then I would just skip the insulation. its not going to do much with out running A/C. insulation will keep the heat in more than it would keep it out. I am not even planning on installing a roof vent. I will fabricate a fan into one of the rear pop out windows. the best way is to park in shaded areas and have shade on the outside of the van. thanks to this guy ripping his van apart, now I see our vans already have insulation. make custom inside window covers with reflectix. My van already has rear A/C ducting from the conversion company so the ceiling is staying as is. upgrade as needed . good luck

LeoTkdMT well I do live in Colorado and winters do get cold.it be nice to have some insulation. Perhaps use 1/2” polyiso that I have on ceiling maybe helping with sound deadening and foil side reflecting heat up ( may need little air gap?). Also considered 1/4” cedar having some ins factor. the walls are finished and really don’t want tear them apart. Appears some fiberglass is stuff in places..after all the jerking around I’ve done not accomplishing anything at this point just need do some cool stuff hoping to get $14k for it. Have base cabinets sink and elec pump,. Nice bed and comfy seating with pull down screen projector with high end sound system then hope to use it some while for sale. Btw seeing as Maxair is out of stock I thought of the window fan too. Every window is operative so plenty ventilation. When I turn in ac it cools the rear down some. Will be doing reflective window covers like you said and call it a wrap

@@paulstephens9274 I see, look into sheeps wool for insulation from Havelock wool. id stay away from stuff that uses glue. your van set up sounds nice. did you go with a sideways bed or long ways?

LeoTkdMT I still haven’t made up my mind which way the bed should go as with this whole project 🤨. If I only had a guy that I could rely on to help make this happen. I have cut a 8” mem foam twin 39x74” mattress to 60” to fit sideways -add cut piece lengthwise or use as backrest. Also trying to utilize for seating 4” tri-fold memory mattress 39x72” Two sections @ 39x26”, and shorter one 39x22” perforated in middle so can stack as backrest. With 60” side to side not enough room leg room in between as couch’s and would take up most of the van with 24”+ 12” base cabinets. Have tried every which way trying configure height variations ie stack 2 on a 10” base for 18” seat height (short folded pieces as back rests next to mattress height of 28”. Multi options with where table fits. Cutting a 39x26 section to 18 and 10” would work better for narrowing couch? Btw what fan are you going with for window, and I just did help wanted FB post anyone needing some quick cash. I have garage, tools and even open bedroom for few days. Shoot me email and I’ll send ya some pics

​@@paulstephens9274 If you are under 6 feet, sideways bed is the way to go with storage underneath, , mine will be 6 feet x 35 inches sideways with an option to extend an extra 20 inches out. I am sure you will figure it out. I will be using the endless breeze fan and the 02 cool smart power fan. one fan venting out and the other pushing air in with custom made screen on the rear pop out windows. I too have not started my project, just doing my research and planning. my email is [email protected]

The control panel is right on the fan. It has 3 speeds and forward and backward. Do you mean a waterline?

Whats the power Sourceee????

I sold the van over a year ago, but at that time, I still had no problems.

@@DavidSandel thanks man. quick response too

I found it had engine problems so I sold it right after I tore everything apart.

@@DavidSandel good video - amazon is almost 50 :( New (2) from CDN$ 23.67 + CDN$ 14.64 Shipping

M&M Travels Thanks! We’ve been eating quite a bit of it lately.

Memphis Blues Thank you, my friend! Hopefully I can get back to posting a bit more regularly now.

Rohan Greig Really good. Biking harder than ever. Thanks for the concern!

Really? You think connecting two very big, very obvious wires is more important than cutting a permanent 14x14 hole in the middle of your roof?

The shore power is separated by the solenoid. Of course this assumes that the van is turned off when plugged into shore power.

@@DavidSandel Thanks for the info. I'm not "big" on electronics, but I'm assuming the solenoid prevents or shuts-off when there's current to it or something? I have to google this....

@@whatsaguygottado2669 The solenoid connects the alternator to the house battery when it senses current in. When the current disappears (van shuts off), then the solenoid deactivates and doesn't allow current to flow backwards from the house battery to the alternator/van battery.

What kind of job?

Would it be better if I waited 30 sec? Or when exactly do you deem it's ok for me say shit, god damn?
