Easy Step by Step Cabover-Shelf - Hightop Van -PART 1

[@TheHermitHacker]

Okay this is why i am looking at everyone else's van builds. Seriously, this is a great way to get some extra shelving space without heavier wood.

[@HumbleRoad]

And the cost is not heavy either! Thanks for your comment! 👍

[@bbhurst65]

This is ADORABLE! Thank you!

[@randywiley66]

Another great video I wish I had your knowledge

[@oatmealcreampie3493]

When an idea gets in your head and you can't sleep........I know that feeling! I like that shelf. It looks like it came with the van. Thanks for teaching us!

[@0tekelg2]

this still works. great instructions. thank you.

[@paulharris1465]

I just wanted to thank you George for the design of the overhead rack. I finished mine today building it into a 2018 PW Plateau TS and it works flawlessly.

[@HumbleRoad]

That's great to hear! Did you end up wrapping or weaving the shelf in any way or did you go for the clean high ventilation wire look? You will be amazed at just how much stuff you can store up there, and it was so easy to build, right?

[@paulharris1465]

Weaving all the way!! Love the material you found at...The Depot. The gray material makes it quieter and keeps things from bouncing. A little hot-glue on the ends was perfect. It was easy but then you did all the hard work designing and I am grateful. btw, my wife and I love your videos! We are getting ready to do the shower next. I noticed Pleasure-Way is putting a larger sink in their 2019 models. You should do a little consulting for them. Thank you so much for your ideas and videos. Paul

[@HumbleRoad]

Oh you are going to love the larger shower! It works perfectly! Some have said the filming wasn't wide enough to see exactly how it was done. If you have any questions, please ask! I am happy to help. You can get my email on my webpage; humbleroad.tv Good Luck!

[@grateful1929]

You are a hoot!! We laugh while we learn!!😂

[@marykaylayman1078]

We made the shelf, love it! Now to remember to duck 😉

[@lorettatayor5840]

ok, love the "cap" walking by, & the Charlie chaplan walk!! cute!!!

[@HumbleRoad]

That cap still cracks me up every time I watch it! When I was a kid, I hated being the shortest in the class, but now, I think it's working for me! ;-)

[@francoisepecquart1555]

Merci beaucoup pour le tuto

[@Mobile.recording]

Thank you so much. Simple and looks great. Easy to make too. Making one right now

[@NancyRileyNuniverse]

I like the grey carpey! 👍

#444. Thanks for sharing!

[@2handsomeforlaw]

I love how the dog in the bed seems so used to this :D

[@margaretmccullough4457]

You are truly a genius! LOL and I love how tidy you are. Best wishes, MM 👸🏻

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you, Margaret.

[@marykaylayman1078]

I just love watching your video’s! I think we will give this a tryin our PW Ascent, we need room. Thanks so much for solving a big storage problem for us.

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you Mary Kay. Several of my viewers have installed this shelf in their vans, following my video. They all said it was just as easy as the video depicts and they love the extra storage! If you have any questions or problems, PLEASE reach out to me and I will be happy to assist! Geo.

[@Eyesis_1]

I love watching your videos. All very practical.

[@HaroldDelk]

Have watched both parts about eleventy-hundred times and made some screen shots to study. Visited Lowes and looked at all the parts needed. They carry RubberMaid brand, but seems to be about the same system overall. We'll be off to the store to gather the goodies and add a shelf to the Ascent this week. Will keep it bare bones to start so we can add a few hooks to hang a small lantern for boondocking and maybe a small 12v fan as well. We will keep you posted on how it works for your tool-adverse friend. Must remember: the hammer is the thing you hit stuff with and the screwdriver is the thing you twist around and around ... right?

[@HumbleRoad]

How did you make out, Harold? Do you have a nice shelf where you can put things and take things?

[@HaroldDelk]

Humble Road Working on it tomorrow; will update you pronto. Had to delay as Maddie scheduled for surgery and we had major decisions to make.

[@allankingsbury5657]

By George! The music you choose for your videos, and the projects that you so skilfully design and build are certainly a credit to you. Nevertheless, I must also add: some of your facial expressions along with certain parts of your speech reminds me of Al Pacino. Indeed your videos are worthy of Hollywood! I just had to subscribe to your channel for the enjoyment of all that you offer. Cheers mate, and keep up the excellent work!!

[@HumbleRoad]

Very kind of you, thank you Allan. And welcome aboard! :-)

[@LorisRVLife]

Nice demo, Thanks for sharing, Lo :)

[@billeisfeld2034]

Thanks Bill!

[@edithp.7213]

Brilliant!

[@jalo28]

I don't know who you are or what your name is. But I am hooked. Your Candid and Sunny Disposition is amazing and I will watch every single one of your videos. Thank you (Insert name here) for your work and most of all - the sharing of knowledge.

[@HumbleRoad]

Welcome aboard!

[@HumbleRoad]

My name is George.

[@mpdacor]

So clever!!!!!

[@tootseug]

New subscriber. I'm loving your videos. You are an excellent teacher, so much so that even I, understand it!! Thank you so much.

[@HumbleRoad]

Welcome to Humble Road, Patti C! Thank you for your comment.

[@LostOnLandAgain]

Nice tutorial. Very well done. Thank you for all the tips!

[@HumbleRoad]

Thanks. Go watch The Wine Rack And The Dresser. The intro is one of my favorite efforts.

[@swisscamperronniecool5419]

So happy I discovered your great vlog 👍 Inspirational, funny, and so well filmed & edited 😎

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you Ronnie! Keep watching! We will wait for you to catch up!

[@oliviasauceda9827]

Good job💡

[@bigjoe2458]

very good teaching video.

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you! Part Two has some worthwhile surprises as well!

[@ChristianTravelers]

Hilarious! Even though I know I would mess up my Sprinter-based RV! Your's came out nice though!

[@mikepower8208]

Would it be a good idea to drill or cut a small hole in the larger L-bracket directly below and matching the small tab of the coat-hook mounting bracket, instead on flattening out the tab. That way the coat-hook will not twist later when using it after the installation. Also in the empty hole of that L-bracket, you could put a plastic plug to cover it and make it look more professional. The smaller L-bracket is making the handle sit away from the fabric liner. Can you carefully notch the handle on that side to remedy the stand out. It will look more professional, as well. Painting at several times seems to be time consuming since no one likes to watch paint dry. Paint the L-brackets, the shelf struts (if necessary to match), the plastic plug (mentioned above), and possibly the screw heads all at the same time.

[@VoIPPortland]

What city/state are you located? Would rather use you than anymore else for professional van work. An artist!

[@HumbleRoad]

My shop is “down the shore” in New Jersey. I have built vans for people from all over this country.

[@devinquince5335]

I know this is an old video, but I am trying to do with with our 2022 2500 and the front brackets do not sit flat, as the sunshade shelf as a bulb on the screw hole that fits into the headliner recess that is cutout. Did you run into this? thanks

[@HumbleRoad]

Different cockpit. I’m getting a new Sprinter in mid September. I’ll take a look then

[@mzabder6407]

I am giving this a try. I can’t get the small bracket behind the handgrip. It feels like something back there is in the way. Before I yank harder, did anybody else experience this? I have a 2018 sprinter.

[@philipmcclure6273]

I love this idea, but I see that my 2006 PW Plateau does NOT have the bolt attachments for this mod. I found this out when I inspected my van and also when I noticed that the "Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf" you mentioned early in your DIY is for years 2007-2018 only. Is there an alternative so that I can use this space for my Alaskan adventure? Thanks in advance.

[@HumbleRoad]

take some pictures of the area. there must be something we can do.

[@frankmccleary]

Why does the 4' bracket have to be mounted on the outside of the pillar trim plastic. Anything keeping it from being mounted on the inside ??

[@HumbleRoad]

Initially, I wanted that big 4 inch bracket behind the plastic sheathing. But I needed to exert more stress on the piece than I felt was prudent. Part of my credo is being able to undo my modifications with little to no marring to the van.

[@frankmccleary]

Thanks much !

[@Mobile.recording]

Youll get caught on these cabinet handles

[@pattymck7267]

Btw...I liked the webbing, but both look good and the carpet is less be to get caught in things you're putting up there.

[@HumbleRoad]

I agree, Patty. And an unforeseen benefit of the carpet is that I can attach ANYTHING to it with velcro! I have a first aid kit sitting upside down hanging like a bat! VELCRO! :-)

[@carolesteinberg7463]

There are two sizes of shelves which did u buy

[@HumbleRoad]

Carole Steinberg 16 inch shelf. I listed all the sku numbers in the description. Good luck! If you have any questions please let me know

[@carolesteinberg7463]

Humble Road thank u I figured it out and I made it w my dad yesterday thank u I love it!
