You called yourself a rookie in your security door video. While you may not be a professional, everything you've done looks extremely professional. It's quite an impressive build.

[@derrickmuniz]

I’m sorry you don’t have enough caulk! Admitting is the first step I’m proud of you !!!

[@BdManus]

Top quality build. Looks just like an apartment, but on wheels. Nice work.

[@robm8720]

Quietest/highest quality computer fans are Noctua brand. Add a small potentiometer to the fan circuit and you'll have a knob for easy speed control so you don't have to run them on full tilt all the time.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Awesome I will check those out!

[@ligerstripe99]

Need to put some anti-rodent netting. otherwise they can climb up the wheel, through the ducting and into the electronics cab.

[@GToke]

yesssss another upload lets go man

It's always exciting to see you make progress! I'm curious to see how the wallpaper will handle temperature variations.

[@ronaldduck7567]

Early on I thought "what about the TV!" but you got it covered. Velcro is great and less hardware to mess with. Very nice.

[@johnkoelliker8480]

Looking good

Shoe area can use extra wall paper if any left. Looks great awaiting next video...keep at it at a comfortable pace.

i dont know how i got here but i dont mind staying

[@sunseeker8457]

One thing to do is to reinforce the door hinges of your wardrobe. It's IKEA. And Ikea door hinges break at the best of times on land let alone in a moving truck. You will need to add an strong adhesive to your hinges and then screw them into the frame before they break off later.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Good idea!

[@donaldfrazier5244]

The vent hole above the tire could get quite wet from the water spray off of the road maybe a rear facing opening with a screen,instead of downward might save you from water damage!

[@ronaldduck7567]

The heat from the cabinet should keep it dried out

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Yeah I considered that but I can find a directional vent that should prevent that if necessary

[@speakbigtruth9383]

After you stain the wood do a coat of clear.

[@jasonlarsen3515]

It’s never happened to me but I’ve heard of other guys also not having enough caulk to get the job done.

[@marsrover001]

I'm sure you ran into the issue of IKEA not using phillips screws, but instead they use JIS. It kinda fits a #2 philips, but cams out easily.

The Inside of a Van is an Earthquake Zone, whilst the Outside of a Van is a Tornado Zone. Everything flexes, repeatedly.

[@Mark-gg6iy]

The heat from those inverters will be a welcome source in cold weather. Make sure to screen the floor output for insect invasion. What make & model of inverters? They look quite large.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Yeah I plan on reversing the airflow to use the inverter as a passive heater. Vent will be capped with a screen. Inverter is a Growatt 24v 3000W all-in-one (solar charge controller+inverter)

[@ronaldduck7567]

When u reverse it in winter maybe vent it into the shower to keep it toasty

[@lll8638]

Is that Ryobi drill brushed or brushless?

[@SynerG4ce]

Smoking like that I'd bet brushed, but I don't own that brand myself, either.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Not sure. It's dead now though 😅

Who puts a wardrobe, made from particle board, in a moving vehicle?! It's been a year how's that Ikea junk holding up?
