Not stealth

Very Clean install , great job ! will be copying you !!

Very nice.

Any idea on the watts when cooling in hot weather?

Is there a reason you placed the compressor on the middle rather than on the floor or top?

12 v batteries?

Like the layout

❤❤❤❤❤

Hey sean, gorgeous build. How much do you think it would cost to build out a transit like this with today’s prices

Looks great. You could put a sticker on the lid " security acmmers in use". People who can read will shy away.

Hi! I have decided to transition into van living & I am in the research phase. I absolutely LOVE this build! Might it be possible to have a high bed above, the unit moved down & still utilize the "window" space with the maxxfan in the same place (they would only overlap by a %)? I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question. I would just like to keep the bed in the back with traditional garage, if possible.

Could you please tell us how much the whole conversion costed you?

Can you give an update? Also, how is the noise level with the compressor inside the van?

The Victron Multiplus 2 addresses most of these problems, my only problem with it is being able to afford it as i am disabled and unable to work anymore and live on a very fixed income

Sorry, I suppose I meant to ask this, do you feel it is absolutely necessary to install the Max Air on here for hot air out vs a large vent since the AC fan has it's own rate of dissipation of heat? Some debate on the need and would rather not due to cost if it's not completely crucial to the operation for unit. thanks once more...

Sean, hope you're well...just following up to see if you would do anything different with the Mini Split in regards to air in and pressure for the unit operating as it should. I am getting closer to making a purchase on the Mini Split and plan to go Interior as you have done but in my cargo trailer. thanks again.

Wow! What an excellent job you've done! Mini split hiding there so nicely. All the other details inside are just amazing. I'll bookmark this to my ten best van builds.

I admire this build. I have the opposite climate situation, mostly desert needs. In your opinion, do you think that configuration, with the "outdoor" unit in the van vented via the door, would have enough air circulation to the unit when in the cooling mode? Thank you for your video, not only with the unit inside the vehicle, but the side mounting of the wall unit gives me a good template for my project.

I always wondered why no one put vents on sides of builds. Maybe long term leaking problems? Could easily make a curved hood to divert water over the fan, to be extra water proof. Your plumbing system is so advanced and filled out in the van. Most van plumbing sucks. Yours is outstanding. Very inspiring.

Thank you so much for this video. I've been trying to find a solution for this for SO long

You should of just glued a 3/4” filler to the end cap instead of the different hinge and drilling into the panel.

good idea, but maybe not, you just added propane/butane anxiety to already there electricity anxiety , just for counter space.

Bro, you win. The mini split idea is so good.

I am wondering if the fantastic fan is even required seeing how the condenser has a fan of its own, perhaps an aerodynamic shroud to closely fit a vent the same size as the fantastic. Keep the two top vents and pipes.

Heat pump it's not efficient One diesel heater will be enough just fine and will take much less power which is crucial in the winter time. Also, you have a unit right above your sleeping hand. I would never be able to sleep there.

That is such an incredible designfor the sit ! Thank you and God bless you .

Your layout is great！ Could you please tell me, is the ventilation fan at the back that can open the lid electrically a DIY one from you or is it a finished product? What is the name of the finished product? Thanks!

(2024) I discovered this video at least two years ago. Love the design for the mini split. After two years how is the unit holding up being in a mobile application. Is there anything you would change? Thanks

Very interesting😊

Nice job. I just did the same ceiling. That's not as easy as one would think. The ceiling curves in two directions. Finding the center is a bit harder than a square house ceiling. I do a window AC setup like that and run it through the floor so it's stealthy. and can't be seen. You do great work.

Beautiful build

Do you do van builds?? This is exactly what I'm looking for!

Nice! Where did you hide the refrigerant lines, and where did you run the condensate drain pipe ?

Congrats, very impressed...I too have been recently concerned with how to achieve this with a cargo trailer. I think this would work placing the Max Air and the two fresh air intakes on the front side of the V- Nose so my stealth signature remains at a minimum. Thank you for your ingenuity!

Great setup! How deep and wide is your box for the compressor? Thanks Daric

❤ beautiful Amigo🙏🙏

hey Sean ,, I have experienced these same problems , also one other , I have an on board Generator , If you have the inverter controlled by Cerbo and you turn inverter off. and you run the generator to power you van direst or Shore power , the power will not pass through the Multiplus unless it is in On position .. real pain

Thank you for posting, very helpful. Where does the gray water from the shower go?

Can the compressor unit be mounted under the van in a horizontal position with the fan facing towards the ground?

You could always just buy a ac bypass switch in the event of a failure which would cover your inverter failing or your batteries. Which is recommended by Victron to do anyway if you read the manual. Just a thought.

Does it produce moisture and if so how/ where is it drained?

In theory, would a big whole in the van door (which sealed around the vent when closed) work? Why do you need the fan?

I run this in my van with a 15kwh battery. Plus an extra inverter on a separate circuit. I always had a victron 30 amp charger which worked out well if the battery died all the way and nothing else would charge it (happened like once I a year of full time living) I later switched that out to a 100amp charger as a backup/fast charger to combine with the multiplus. Problem 2 seem like you need to dive into the settings more. Mine would pull from grid/generator up to about 1300 watts which would be sent straight to the appliance. Once the appliance turned off the charger would pick back up the 15 amps (1600 watts ish). It worked perfectly for that actually, which is why yours should too.

Could the unit had been vented through the floor rather than in the rear of the van? If so, it would have been even more stealthy

I wonder if Victron could add an "ignore battery" function that would solve both problems ? Either through software or a tiny hardware box to attach?

It looks like you matched some interior panels to the doors. Please explain your choice of materials with URL Links for the side, top, and bottom panels for the cabinet interiors. Please include the Thickness of the panels for the 15 Series 8020. Some may be aluminum plates. Thanks very much in advance.

Please post the hinge reference # or the URL link for the "Flip Up" type hinge on the upper cabinet doors. Thanks.

Problem 1: Just flip the switch to charger only mode. It will output 12V on the battery terminals, as you don't have a battery attached you can't put on large loads as there is no buffer. Problem 2: on the GX, set the input current limit to match your generator size. Inverter will only pull that from the generator and it automatically slow down/turn off charging if the AC loads exceed the current limit.

Might want to look at xantrex.
