In the winter do you have to take the pump off since it's not a heated space and holds water continuously?

How much you charge to build a van?

Thank you for sharing. Very Very helpful.

Cool. Thank you. I'll give it a try.

Excellent! Now I know how to do my transit.

Thanks for the content, sir, I appreciate your information

I'm watching in January 2025. Trying to decide on which van. I work for a car service company. Have put many miles on the Sprinter and Transit. All black exterior and interior passenger vans. The Sprinter has a more comfortable area for my feet while driving. I haven't driven a Promaster. Would like to know about the driver's window. How is the size with the smaller and larger parts? I'm considering the view with all three vans.

I'm going with the 12v as I want to wash my hair alone.

Very good info! You can also buy a marine power extention cord and cut the female end off and wire that to your ac outlet box

Thank you for bringing up things others do not. I'm trying to decide on vans. You helped :)

Did your van end up squeaking a lot from the metal on metal of the screws or was it fine?

Very important, helpful information. I just finished installing mine a simple and basic to convert to propane, but in the beginning, I was confused on what gas tips to use by you talking about it and explaining how things work as helpful. There are not many videos like this one.

Comment lol

Great video, Colton! Thanks!

You are going to want to use pop rivets for the brackets on those solar panels. I you used to work for an RV dealership we have seen self tappers come apart

Awesome dude😊

Looking forward to foaming walls

What was your budget total for the entire build?

Starting down the Rabbit Hole in Whistler, thanks for all the great advise !!

What concerns me with most van builds is weight, not many seem to consider this, heavy panelling, floors and ceiling, mega structures for beds and cabinets. It's a wonder there is any spare useable capacity. Look at commercial builds, they don't make things lightweight to save money. A lighter build will be more stable on slopes, have better driving manners and use less fuel. Its an alternative approach which only a few folks make a priority. I discovered some white hollow plastic tongue and groove, for ceilings and walls, only 30% the weight of timber. Wish I could find the YT Vid. where it was used in the build.

Blocking critical places for insulation. Better stay out of hot climates. A lot of wasted space.

I installed one chinese same type of heater in my home garage two years ago it works fine. It takes time but its better winter time

I purchased echoflow delta2 Max to power 12v devices in the van, I wish it came with Max output cable. I just learned how to use 40amp by making a cable like Max output. thanks

How did you frame to attach the walls to the floor area?

Great video!!!!! Anybody know where i can find one of those cables that combined the DC output amps?

The tie downs that hold the factory subfloors down. How did you install the laminate/vinyl flooring over those?

Fantastic, nice build. I’m gonna do something very similar in my cargo trailer conversion project.

Cool video, But the typical way for cabinet doors is the vertical (styles) run full length and the horizontal (rails) run in-between. Also, being that it is a mobile rv that would see unpredictable climates, the center panels should be free of gluing to allow for any expansion or contraction. Just my two cents..

My husband and I are in our 70’s and just bought a 2021 ProMaster. We love your videos Colton! God bless you, thanks for your tutorials.

What did you do to finish above the sliding door?

Thanks for the video- super helpful!

Thanks!

Nice and informative !!

Hi, I liked your vidio. Question? My 2016 150 transit low roof type has a/c ducting down the middle of the roof behind gray felt roof covering. I want to install the Maxxair 2 with remote in the rear middle. Any tips about instalation? Can I re-rought the air ducts around the Max fan? Don't use the rear a/c that much. But sometimes. Any advice, tips. Thanks. Indiana Jerry in south LA, California.

Great vid!

Colton, I flew AH1G in VN in 1968.Flew with !st Cav on the DMZ. Are you still building RV'S ? Tony Arnstrong

Mate that has to be the tidiest set up ever shown on KZbin, I might even be able to digest your explanation as I’ve never picked a tool up since I was kicked out of woodwork at school please take that as a compliment.

Excellent build.

Can you comfortably stand up inside a 6’2”?

This is THE most helpful video I've found. Thank you. One request.....add simple added helpful guides like: "I ended up needing ___ linear inches of 2X6 for the upper, angled panels" Thank you

Ty!

Thanks. Learned something more 👍🙏

Ok, I’m a little confused. I watched a couple other videos of people installing the heater in a Ford Transit and they both had to lower the fuel tank to complete the install and that is where I kind of lost my courage, but in your video apparently you don’t have to do that with a Ram Promaster as it looks like there is an access panel to the fuel tank from inside of the cab? Given that another video said that estimates to have someone do the install for you in a Transit, was $900-$1500, and although I was leaning towards getting a Transit, I think that buying a Promaster would be a better choice, as I could install the heater myself as the electrical, and rest of it isn’t as worrisome.

This is NOT THE BEST method. Do all your electrical wiring first. Then insulate. While there nothing "wrong" with this method, But it is defiantly not the best method. You add unnecessary weight and complexity. Use hexagonal 8MM Rivet nuts to hold panels to ceiling and walls. DO NOT USE ADHESIVE. Using Adhesive makes future modifications impossible. Nobody glues an van together. You use Stainless flat head or oval head 8mm x 20 mm Phillips screws to hold the panels on The use of Self taping Screws Should be avoided at all costs unless you want rust.THERE IS NO NEED FOR Furring Strips in a van. You cover the walls with sections of plywood that is 48"Wide. So you need vertical "studs as attachment points every 24" maximum 12" or 16" also work. Some vertical studs you have to install where there is not an attachment point. Best and cheapest to adjust each panels width to match the vans vertical pillars. Layout is key here. If you have window it is best to make a cutout in a panel or panels. Then trim fill in the gap. This method has much less weight than the method shown and the panels are removable for service or future modification.

Thanks so much. I love your website and have learned so much from it. I used your link to purchase the two seat rotators from the Sprinterstore. You were right, the packing was atrocious 0 shipping information. When I did manage to get thru to them they were rude and disrespectful. I will not be doing any further business with them!

one of least cringiest channel for van build info. thank you for your service

tile? In a vehicle that flexes as it moves??? You'll be SOOOOORRRRRYYYY!!!

thank you so much
