Lost me at no ac.

So nice for somebody such as yourself breaking down the cost. Thank you be safe and enjoy.

This rig still out and about working?

Thanks for sharing this helpful information! 😊

how many mpg when you tow?

Great video. I am surprised there aren't more "split" builts like this.

How much does the trailer weigh and how does the van handle towing?

I've been thinking out living like this for awhile now, really enjoy the trailer idea. Especially with Starlink RV being a thing now, i can integrate my gaming setup still.

Ty 👍

amazing thank you

It must be a nightmare to brake when driving pulling the trailer unless you have upgraded van brakes or trailer brakes. I love you setup by the way.

Your work methodologies are dream like

I love your videos and have watched a few of them - very impressed with your rig and am considering a similar setup as I must have my kayak with me, but was wondering what kind of mpg you get - thanks

How did set up your solar equipment starting from fuses to the battery charging alternator

As big as the vanlife movement is these days, I am shocked that Patrick's videos don't have tens of thousands of views. Holy cow. Great GREAT content and very well put together. Especially loved the intermission. Subbed.

Wow. Excellent. I want to do this so badly but I don't know a lick about anything electrical. If only I could understand your complete electrical installation. I don't want to pay someone thousands of dollars to do it for me. I want to simply copy someone else's exact diagram and equipment. Install the same way and save myself some time and money. You don't happen to have your schematic blueprint available for sale do you?

Great content guys!

Thank for all your info, you Referred to a printed wood on the ceiling of you van. was it something like vinyl Flooring or a sticker type material thank for your time.

Any problems putting a wet kayak away over all those electronics?

Couple questions here regarding unanticipated circumstances you may have come across. Remote UV, wind, hydro access as well as hot springs geothermal power source captures. The RTFM resource you cited in the off-grid solar campervan ESs is much appreciated. You definitely were dating yourself though with those Masters of the Universe references. I admire how the primary battery storage efficiency in the camper/trailer, serves as a devibration or carbon reducing mechanism to off-grid sustainability. Imagine having a trailer as you have customized with storage components say for ebikes or even motorcycles. The trailer has 3x the wattage and amp hours of storage. Reducing fossil fuel reliance from renewables has a net minus effect between trip segments, during, before and after. I enjoy the perspective from atop RVs and campers. Would it be more expedient if UV cell placements were sufficiently versatile as to provide no impediment to having both. Outriggers providing thermal insulation or shade could radically enhance solar gains. As well as providing a potential platform for star gazing atop the rigs.

Finally someone who did exactly what I want to do by using a Van AND a trailer

Thank you thank you so much for your time and help thank you ♥️

You've done a great job, this has to be one of the best set ups/rigs that I have seen. Very nice job!

wow man this is the best van life video ever!

This is unreal, these people can do anything. What is it they can't do?

So happy I seen this . I was thinking I was over my head . I converted a van recently and figure it’s not enough then I came up with I can do a trailer but then I thought that’s crazy two of them . But yup thanks . My nerves are okay now

Now, I'm no electrical engineer but, using AGM batteries that provide half the capability of lithium with 20% the lifespan seems kinda dumb. Couple that with a wet item that even when dried off has nooks and crannies that hold water is stored above COMPUTERS. Hmmmmmm

excellent info wow, wasn't expecting that!

Well done

A+ Both work great together !

Very nice!!!

Exactly what I was looking for! 😊👍🏼 thank you! Q: 16:25 does the inverter/charger need to be energized (powered on) to sense shore power to disconnect the inverter and route to shore power? Hilarious breaks!!😂😂😂

Thanks for such an awesome video! 😊 Excellent content! Well done! 👍🏼 I have a 2016 Ford Transit 250 medium roof with a 14 ft. cargo trailer that I’m currently designing for my stealth camping build so this video helps tremendously with ideas and solutions. My goal is very similar: reduce cost of living so it allows more freedom to travel and enjoy life. As an experienced carpenter and mountain bike instructor, I’m very excited to see more detail on your build; I would love to see more detail and a breakdown of the mechanical systems: plumbing, HVAC, and especially electrical. I love the simplicity of the HVAC and was leaning toward similar design. Cold weather is my only concern and I’m contemplating a diesel heater. What was the deciding factor on the propane for your build? Thanks in advance! 🙏😊

I wish there were more people out there who broke the cost down like this video did. I can see the thought put into this purchase, great job!

50 k invested is nothing when you can retire millionaire in a few years. Smart move.

You should watch Solar Boon docker. He runs two 5000 BTU AC's in his trailer. You have plenty of roof space for solar panels. And lithium batteries will last at least 10 years.

I just started researching these kinds of builds and you have no idea how helpful it was not only seeing the actual costs associated with the build, but also your proven-effective solutions to heating, cooling, electricity, and wifi. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this realistic view of your functional and comfortable environments.

I’m interested in seeing more about the cabinet build and also the leveling system for your bed. Thats ingenious!

*it is far, far, far to utilitarian for that type of FIAT and my taste.*

*well thought out measuring system.... LOL* he clowning it

How about towing a loaded trailer with a loaded van with such a small engine? You must be very close to the weight limits of that tow vehicle engine package.

prob a cost cutting thing but im surprised u went with that battery set up

Good video 👍

Nice build. I spotted you using Fusion 360 too, love it.

You can use a module off your alternator to charge your batteries in case of no sun situations.

Your channel deserves so much more subscribers, anyway I'm just one more 👍

I didn’t have to pay for it…but to me, your setup was well thought out and inexpensive for what you have. If your van goes into the shop, you can still live in the trailer. If the trailer is being remolded and is a mess, you can still escape to the van. And you are sleeping in the vehicle that can escape a bad situation. So many winning ideas with this combo build. Well done is an understatement really.

Well that was just about the most thorough tour I've ever watched. Great Job!!!! You not only did a fantastic job building it but you also explained it so well.

i would try to do every thing with aluminam for light weight and gas milage。。
