I love seeing people overcoming difficult obstacles. You gained a new follower here. Im actually an above the knee amputee in the process of building my own van out right now. Since im a disabled veteran. It gives me the financial freedom to do the van life experience. Follow my journey if you want. Its gonna be fun😊

Impressive!

How much is admission? We have a family vacation in Grand Rivers in mid-July, and this might be a fun thing to do one night (multi-generational from 20 months to 70 years).

Wow, that's great, it's wo d e rful to see that place still going,hope you have much success, never ever would have guessed from the first videos with the ford van that you would end up here great to see someone parlaying life experiences so well,heres to yor continued success 🇺🇸👍🇺🇲

Wow.. that's quite the setup you have there in the kitchen ! Wish I lived nearby.. definitely come by to visit y'all 😁👍

Yeeeeeah! Resurrect the KZbin channel!

WOW! Haven't seen you in a long time. A drive in theater huh? That's awesome, but not surprising. You were always innovative and into something cool. I wish people behaved better. Sometimes dealing with the public can be a real nuisance. Anyway, really nice hearing from you. All the best in your new adventure 🙂

Wow..been a while ! Not sure what it is with people and trash.. doesn't seem like a tough concept. You have trash and you put it in the receptacle..lol. Here in Wash state we used to have several drive-ins..think they're all gone. Back in the mid 90s I visited a friend in Reno..they had a drive-in with 6 screens ! Good luck with the new business venture 😁👍

Where are the other videos???

as someone who has had questions about this for a long time, this video was very helpful. Thank you! About to embark on my 2nd build and I'm going to use PMF this time.

I'm trying to figure out like with flooring, I can put wood glue and then the insulation and then a canvas cloth and then if I could put cement over it and it would harden the same as if with glue because I have like 50 lbs of quick cement

And one day you would buy a drive in movie theater

Absolutely BRILLIANT!! p.s. I like the pinstripeng on your black tool boxes up top. Looks cool!

Have you ever try setting up the tent without taking off the softopper? Thank you

Any idea if pmf works on the smooth film of polyisocyanurate foamboard.... it's R value is 6.5/ in rather than 5/in pinkboard

Love the simplicity of the electrical system. Nice.

I did basically the same but found huge advantage using a “ribbed roller”. These are like a bunch of half inch washers with spacers on a frame used to get resin to penetrate fiber glass chopped strand. I found it very helpful to get out wrinkles and get maximum penetration into my drop sheet.

Dull

Hello did you screw or nail your plywood? Thanks.

It’s not the Titebond that creates a waterproof barrier, it’s the multiple layers of paint that you follow up with. Titebond II is not waterproof.

Have you done any tests for compression? Like if you built a cabinet and the sides were made up of foam with PMF coating. How strong do you think it would be?

Thank you for sharing!!!

Aurait il été mieux de diluer la colle ?

as long as its tilted back a bit you wont get a van full of water draining from the AC

When we were youngsters, other coatings were only used if that's all u had, and I don't think I ever saw wood glues.. PMF to us was still using standard industry resins, but laminating with God only knows what fabrics we could get our hands on. I had an emergency repaired boat transom, still goin' a decade when I sold her, rebuilt on resin and Wrangler blue jeans ("Cowboy Cut ;-) cuz that's what we had 200mi round trip from any store..then it continued to hold well so I left it. I guess in the end, "Poor Man's Fiberglass" is anything that does the job & is less expensive than real fiberglass..though even that's a close call for some of the more elaborate PMF jobs I've seen on KZbin ;-) Thanks for sharin' brother, it looks good 👍

Extremely info, thank you

love the channel brother .

Nice build , Rock!

I found your channel while looking at different van builds for ideas. I never knew anything about building with foam. My curiosity led me to teardrop and truck campers built from smart (Poor Man’s Fiberglass), lightweight, and cost effective materials. Some of these guys go off-roading and across very challenging terrain for years with no issues. So, here’s my crazy but serious question. Could this method of building be used to build affordable structures to house the homeless even for short term transitional housing, if not long term?

Thanks for sharing. Your camper looks great on! How has your PMF held up? Have you had any issues? Thanks for your time.

Good video, jus what I was looking for thanks bro

Good info. When I found myself nodding and raising my eyebrows a bit when you were deciding which tools to use, I knew that I liked your video self! Nice, easy to watch, easy to understand!

Did you paint rustolium right over pmf?

You did a nice job… your a good teacher 🙌

UV light is what’s damages even fibre glass or any other paint so where possible keep it in a shed and covered with a drop sheet.

Nice

Very nice.

to much gab

Very nice job, I think it looks great.

@RubberTrampRenegade Hello! Who makes that Tow Hitch? I have the same '86 E150 Econoline, yours has a great build.

Who can do this for me

That's great you have that battery in the engine.

How much was the cost of the PMF project, glue and tarps etc. ?

How do the costs compare? At the very least, I think canvas and wood glue would be more pleasent to work with than fiberglass cloth and resin.

You could buy a cheap belt, cut it in half, then screw it to the top of the wall and underneath the TV

I have no idea if this is true, but I read somewhere that you should use stranded wire for van or trailer builds. It had something to do with solid, house-type wiring not holding up to the shock, vibration and constant motion of on-road applications. Does anyone have any input on this subject?

I wonder if you could make a kayak with the same method? Could be another video?

Love the Ford country vibe -great job 🎉

Update, sprayer redesigned, pure crap. If you buy the pump spray bottle, buy a 1/4" adapter with male burr on that end to 1/2" threaded female on other and install onto sprayer hose then you can screw on a regular shower hose and any shower wand you want.

Excellent video simple pragmatic without going into the physical, nano atomics of wherever. Thanks I leaned a lot.
