1:02 This is by Far a Remarkable and Rigid Idea that i ever watch build camper van. It's Weather proof and spacious than other's do. And the difference is all the materials are made inside your house 😊

[@uglysjourney]

☺️🎉 Thank you! ❤️👍

[@jginger1975]

love your straight to the build video. no talking for hours. thank you.

[@uglysjourney]

☺️ hehe, thank you 👍

[@EdBrewster-m4s]

This is the only build I have seen where they were smart and insulated the floor 1st. It will be so much more comfortable in extreme temps outside.

[@uglysjourney]

You are absolutely right. 👍 It is very comfortable. We had temperatures around freezing / 0°c, and inside, without heating, it stayed 16°c. At night that is perfect for sleeping. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! ❤️👍

[@thomasschafer7268]

Jaja. Ein seecontainer als Aufbau. Hat auch noch keiner geschafft

[@uglysjourney]

@thomasschafer7268 ??entschuldigung?? ❤️

[@maxyakimets]

Insane amount of work. I bow to such men. Marco Gog helps you.

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you Max! ❤️👊🙏

[@our_roadtrip]

Oh my god! The idea of using foam for the Outbound windows is genius! I was building very heavy wooden frames. I like this a lot!

[@uglysjourney]

Oh, Wow, these comments are very nice to get. Thanks! I searched, but did not find it, do you have a KZbin channel as well?

[@mrt5393]

That’s actually fairly common in Europe. Windows mostly held in place by foam and metal strips at least for brick walls. That probably insulates the windows from the colder stone and heat isn’t transferring. Wood would be a barrier too just heavier I guess

[@uglysjourney]

Yep 👍😄 And I did use massive amounts of glue to stick the window to the frame. Indeed foam is for insulation. This just to be sure and I do not get sued for false information or anything 🫣

[@polishstick0609]

This video is enjoyable to watch. Not gonna lie, this camper like vehicle woudl be rather interesting to possess. Must've been satisfaying to complete that, right?

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks for your comment and thoughts! ♥️👍 I really like your writing style, feels good. And to answer your questions, yes completing it was very satisfying. But to be honest for me it never feels really really completed. I am now doing some upgrades on insulation and ventilation (stay tuned for those videos 😉)..... And other project are coming up 👍

[@polishstick0609]

@uglysjourney Nothing stays the same. Surely that's the case. I also like this video beacuse I found this one among the videos of american bus conversions, so I was even more tempted to watch your videos.

[@uglysjourney]

Schoolies, look very cool. 👍 Always wondering how their insulation works though. Do they have single glazed windows?

[@ponyboy1664]

6:30 thats the fist hand saw ive seen used in countless videos like this. Fair play! And great work

[@uglysjourney]

An eye for detail! Nice👍❤️. Yeah for some reason it was easier to do it by hand 🤣🤣.

[@tgs8459]

Супер! Вы подали мне очень хорошую идею. Я бы ещё сзади сделал бы террасу, открываются двери, а там стена😂. Сначала опускается «стена» опускается вниз, а вторая поднимается вверх, виде крыши, от солнца и дождя. Удачи вам в реализации своей мечты. From Kazakhstan 🇰🇿.

[@uglysjourney]

Я думаю, что это очень хорошая идея! Иногда мне хочется иметь укрытие от дождя или солнца.

[@tgs8459]

@ Тем более основные двери контейнера, служат боковой защитой с двух сторон. Я представляю какой шикарный вид на море или горы, сидя рано утром на террасе, за чашечкой ароматного кофе.

[@uglysjourney]

Да! Двери защищают от ветра. ОЧЕНЬ удобно! ❤️👍

[@y.morales6898]

10:42 oh man, nothing better than that feeling

[@uglysjourney]

You made me smile. 😁 Thanks! ❤️

[@Dustmadeout]

You are a small channel yet you do what you love and document it probably without any revenue. Thank you for showing your way and your progress!

[@uglysjourney]

Yeah, you are right, small, but loving it! Trying to get better every time. This video is doing quite good actually. At least compared to before. That and your comments are great incentive! Thanks!

[@EastiaFX]

Wow....i loved the part were you said "I'm so happy now!" You were having a vision you haven't accomplished yet, but you were determined to bring it to life. One love brother, from....well somewhere in Africa!😂

[@uglysjourney]

Your comment gave me a big smile! Thank you very much. Feels good! 👍❤️👍❤️

[@EthanCasner]

I considered this for my LMTV but holy CHRIST the WEIGHT... You're either a brave man crushing your truck with that or a lot wealthier than i am and can absorb it.

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks for leaving your thoughts and comment! 👍❤️ But I am not sure I understand you 🤷. My truck is rated for 12 tonnes (kg). And I have loaded it to the max. Is this what you mean? On the other hand a LMTV is usually rated much lower than it can actually have. I guess this has to do with handling in combat situations. Is that perhaps what made you question? Anyway, please explain further 👍❤️

[@EthanCasner]

@@uglysjourney Pretty much what i meant. I found out after i bought my truck that it might be rated for 12 tons but the Achilles heel is the driveshafts splinter like twigs under much less stress. And when they break they usually destroy the rear differential splines and the transmission differential. I hope you'll have good luck with yours. Definitely i recommend checking to see if your driveshafts are "hollow two-piece" and "floating" like the US version as that's the problem with ours.

[@uglysjourney]

That is nasty! Hope you will find a solution ❤️👍. In my case the vehicle was sold and made as a 12 tonnes (KG) vehicle, so it will hold the weight, no worries 👍

[@mrmotofy]

Those only weigh like 2 Ton or 4000 lbs, it's nothing for the truck. If it breaks something upgrade it

[@uglysjourney]

​@@mrmotofy Yeah indeednthe container weighs 2500 kg. ♥️👍

[@ChrisRiggall-m1o]

Hi guys , just watched the latest video , really impressed by the way you added so much ambience at the beginning, best opening scene ever , the whole video was terrific , have fun , take care , show us more like this video , can't wait 😀

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks for your kind words and support 👍❤️ really appreciate it.

[@nandakumarr254]

Hai brother excellent work 👍i am a welder i also like the container home. Your work is helpful me thankyou so much brother 🙏

[@uglysjourney]

👍❤️ Good luck with your build!! Thanks for the support! ❤️👍

[@bekbolat-o8k]

Браво! у Вас золотые руки и умная голова,мне очень понравилось,привет из Казахстана!

[@uglysjourney]

Большое спасибо за ваши добрые слова и поддержку! ❤️👍

[@alexanderpour7377]

Great. Congratulations. Excellent work🥰🤗 The women always come last. They don't want to know anything beforehand. 😅🤣😂 It's the same with my projects. When everything is finished, she comes to evaluate them.🤩

[@uglysjourney]

Haha, yeah I can imagine that! But in my case it really was a team effort 👍❤️. Because Sabine was working hard an earning money, I could work fulltime on the home. 👍🚚 Thanks for you support!

[@mrmotofy]

Yep mine recently said...I don't really care about all this stuff. You know me and what I like. It's kinda like a wedding and the guys don't care about all the details and decisions... LOL

[@uglysjourney]

♥️👍

[@danieldominguez8591]

esto no es un motorhome es arte !...

[@evil17]

Good job, it does look heavy though.

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks! ❤️👍 Yeah it has heavy bones and a bit of baby fat 😉. The truck weighs 7.000 kg and the container incl everything is 5.000 kg. I like the heavy look to be honest 🤷

[@jn4897]

The title is misleading. There was in fact talking @ 6:00. For that, I have to give you 9/10 stars.

[@uglysjourney]

🤣🤣 Thanks! 🤣🤣 Loved the comment! 🤣🤣

[@DexterJettster49ers]

You are a hell of a craftsman.

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you but I feel that is way too much honor. Or it is ment being sarcastic, in that case 😄. Thanks for making me smile! 👍😄

[@DexterJettster49ers]

No sarcasm, honestly a really nice job.

[@uglysjourney]

Second time you made me smile. You are on fire! 😄💥 Thanks!

[@katewebber1131]

What a hard worker and talented one too. 😊😊😊

You’re amazing! I always wish I could have a house like that

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you! What is stopping you from building that house? ❤️👍

[@The_Eyes_Of_God]

This has to be the thickest walls ever made plus it took away a lot of space. But fear not now these god tier walls could survives an atom explosion, congrats 👍

[@uglysjourney]

🤣 loved your comment! And you are right, 7 cm (3 inch) on the thinnest part. But have you ever been in an uninsulated container in the full sun? When you have, then you will know why I did my insulation the way I did 😄👊❤️

[@petermercer5968]

What a great idea it needs more windows, but well done.

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you, that is great support! And you are right, more windows (or bigger) would have been nice. I made this choice based on costs. Doors and windows now cost over €10k, which was quite a lot for me. And over 10% of total costs. 🚚💰💰 In hindsight, 1 window more, would be better.....

[@SuzyQ89]

The build looks like it will be absolutely stunning!! Can't wait to see part 2.

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you! ❤️❤️ Kind reactions like these always make me smile. Makes my day, hope your day will be amazing! 👍💥

[@naknamfucha5758]

Now thats a heavy truck 👍🏻

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks ❤️👍 but you can get much heavier than 12 tonnes 😜

[@rakeshdangi199]

Very good 👍 dear nice work skills 👍👍👍

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you!! 👍❤️

[@achimbonczek7944]

Absolutely super. I was enjoying it a lot only by watching. But of course it is very challenging and you need a lot if power. The result is phantastic!!!

[@uglysjourney]

Comments like this make us continue! Thanks! ❤️👍

[@MartinGandy-k1t]

That is amazing looking there now

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks for both comments! Really appreciate all that support. 👍❤️

[@josegregoriorizzobravo9288]

It is A Master Piece!! Congrats!!

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks! ❤️👍

[@claytonsimplot9554]

Do you have some type of air filtration set up? As airtight as it looks you need clean air in it. There will be alot of humidity in the air from your breath,getting into the walls and woodwork. I guess you could leave a window cracked open or maybe the skylight. Also a container would make a great cooler and freezer. The survivalists would love this.

[@uglysjourney]

Wow, those are quite a few great comment and questions packed in a "short" text. Amazing, love it, thanks! There is no air filtration, we open windows, we have a CO2 sensor (never rang) and our heater uses the "moist" inside air and transports it outside. Also a home-weather station, which measures humidity, always a smiley face there, so it should all be fine. You are the second to comment on humidity and clean air. So there should be a link, a reason or deeper thought behind it. Do you know what it is? And yeah, I have talked to a couple of "preppers" who were very interested indeed. Thanks for your message and apologies for the long reply 🫣👍❤️

[@Mikael-jt1hk]

@@uglysjourney The humidity in the air at any given time is not really the issue. The issue is the temperature difference between the inside of the steel and the outside. You have condensation pissing down your walls behind that thin insulation and the cheap foam you used is probably wicking that water right into your wall boards. If you go somewhere cold for an extended period you will have mold in your walls. There is no two ways about it. Read about vapor barriers. We use them for a reason.

[@uglysjourney]

@Mikael-jt1hk sustainabilityworkshop.venturewell.org/node/1027.html I am quite sure I disagree. It is not possible for water to form on in the inside of the outer steel walls. That is because there is insulation there. It is all sandwiched against the wall and I have a high insulation value. 5 cm PIR (greatest r- value), 2 cm wood, and a bit of foam. When moisture would form is would on the visible side of the inside wall (on the wood). Please note this build is not like a house.... 😄👍

[@carlosrestrepo4071]

So far it's looking fantastic, I already want to see the finished product, congratulations, greetings from Colombia

[@uglysjourney]

❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Colombia! 😄 So amazing to have viewers from all over the world! Next week we will show the finished product and after that we will do a couple of in depth room-tours for people who want to know more about a certain topic. 👍

Good video Marco. Looking forward to part two to see what happen after Tanks and Windows.

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you very much for your support! Indeed you are right, this video is more of a quick recap of what has been shown already. Especially for the early viewers. But next video will surely not disappoint in that perspective. Hope you will let me know! ❤️👍

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you! ❤️ In one week you can see the final "product". Hope to see you then! 👍

[@seanogrady2629]

Nice, what would make it even more awesome would be if there was an entry from inside the truck cabin, so no need to get out. Probably would be a headache to do though.

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you, like the comment a lot. ❤️❤️ And that is because I have had "headache" enough for thinking whether I wanted a "pass-through" or not. I still can have one, the design is ready for it. But I cannot decide on this one. What I have learned is that the pass-through has to be really easy to use. Otherwise people do not use it. For now it is no issue, we do not feel like we miss it... 👍🫣 Anyway thanks for your thoughts and support! Hope to see you later! ❤️

[@Kristina_Australia]

Looking very good. I must say, I love your detail in making sure it's well insulated. See you in two weeks for the next stage.

[@uglysjourney]

❤️ Comments like these help me to continue. Thank you! A bare container is terrible in regards to insulation. And I wanted it to be OK for living between -10 and +30. And now it does, without airco, but with heating 👍. See you in two weeks!

[@MichalKocerba]

Fantastic idea, beutiful job! Congratulations!

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you!!! ❤️

[@Pixelplanet5]

impressive build. just one remark if that platform in the back is supposed to be for a bed later on you should cut some slots into this so the mattress that goes on top of this has ventilation from below otherwise it will get moldy under the mattress.

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you! And always nice to hear constructive feedback! ❤️👍. I understand what you say and know some "horror-mold-stories". We solved it by having a few gaps below the matrass (not much indeed). So we added a "hospital-cover" over the main matrass. That will prevent moisture from reaching matrass 😄👍 we keep an eye on it and till now all is fine.

[@billienomates1606]

Nice to see a robust and practical R.V. that should last for a very long while compared to all those plastic fantastic, leaky builds you get from a dealer. I doubt the bad on this unit will bend and warp like so many R,V's do these days ha ha ha Like n sub.

[@uglysjourney]

That is such a great comment! Makes my day, thanks! And you are right, the container has a build-in subframe, very strong. Thanks for your support! 👍❤️

[@terryjones6333]

Love this build, and look forward to the finish article. The way the world is at the moment, this is perfect to just get away from it all. This is what my aim has been for a few years now, and i watch a lot of builds. So keep up the great work and safe travels, 👍 from the uk.

[@uglysjourney]

Yeah, you are right, it is a nice house without mortgage or rent! Quite a few have said it before, but to be honest we did not make it to "get away". For us this is just a new phase in our lives, looking for something more, something else then just working 9 to 5 and paying +50% of our income to rent/mortgage. Now we have less income, but we also need less. But we get so much in return. Thanks for your kind comment ❤️👍, and we hope to see you with the next video!

[@bitminerbob6731]

Wow, first time I've seen a shipping container build on the back of a truck. Makes perfect sense!!! I am curious as to how you're going to run all your electrical wiring though, so that will be a nice surprise. :D

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you for your nice and smart comment! 👍❤️ Next video will surely show how I did the wiring. So I will keep that a "surprise" for next time 🫣😉. And i guess your comment is linked to the fact that I did not use the walls to run the electrics. And indeed that has been commented by many more. But I think I found a "smart" solution for it. 🤫 I have a second floor.....

[@SuperSushidog]

I guess all your wiring is going to be surface wiring? Where will plumbing be routed? Will gray and black tanks be mounted underneath the truck? It looks like a sturdy build, but heavy too.

[@uglysjourney]

@@SuperSushidog Hi, thanks for leaving a comment! 👍❤️ I will build a raised floor. Below that I can do wiring and plumbing. I also use internal walls and the cupboards. No wire or tube can be seen in the end! 🥳👊👍 Check out my next videos there you can see for yourself 😉

[@AerialEscape]

You were having blow out on those trim board because the blade on your saw is too gapped for the teeth. You need a tighter tooth blade to cut trim like that.. Good luck, looks great!

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks! Solid advice! 👍❤️ You are right.

[@johnbrown-so3vz]

The weight of that container is nuts. 20ft has a tare weight of 2.5Ton. Recommend a fridge box with barn doors. Fully insulated dry and thus much less work. But a great little house non the less.

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks! 👍❤️ Yeah you are right, container has quite a bit of weight. But can I ask? Do you know the weight of a ready fridge box? Ready; so I can have a terrace on top, a bike back on the back and strong enough for cupboards. Hope you know so we can do an honest comparison. 👍😄

[@johnbrown-so3vz]

@@uglysjourney not sure maybe similar in weight but the fridge is fully insulated and the box is wider so that the internal size is similar to an no-insulated box. The roof should easily take a deck as it is a composite roof. Internal curtains are often hung from the roof and they are VERY heavy. The only roof I would question is single skin or transparent GRP.

[@uglysjourney]

Ok thanks!! So weight should be about the same. So the main pro and con is inside space (fridge is bigger) vs outside strength (container is stronger). Only main thing left to know now is the costs. The new container was €10.000 (incl window openings, VAT and paint). I did research (in Covid times) and found new fridge boxes are double that costs. Do you agree?

[@jedics1]

Everytime I see a shipping container build I wonder what its really like in the coldest and hottest months to live in with all that steel conducting the temperature into the space? Would like an update about it once you move in for a while. I built something very similar and been living in it 4 years now and will never go back to a regular house, you won't regret it. Even if your heating a cooling bills are off the charts :) You went to a lot of effort to put a deck on the roof, are you not putting solar up there?

[@uglysjourney]

You will not believe how comfortable it is inside the container! With the sun blasting it stays nice in there until around 16.00 hour. After that it is the same temperature as outside. But I understand your wonder, without isolation it would have been unbearable inside. And the roof also functions as an umbrella. Architects tell me that thats the best way to keep it cool inside. There will be solar panels, but I have a trick up my sleeve. But that is a story for next time 🫣😄👍👋 Thanks for you comment and support! ❤️

[@brianvernell]

Nice work. Good video 😊

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks for taking the time and writing a comment! Appreciate it! 👍👍

[@ehass85]

Tip, rather than using expensive props to hold timber to the ceiling while the glue drys, just use a long piece of timber on an angle. Knock it in place with a hammer and it will act like a wedge between the floor and the piece you're gluing to the ceiling.

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks for the advice! It seems to me like you are an experienced builder 😄👍.

[@freddierohde782]

I like what you are doing, many good solutions. I bought a MAN 8.180, fully furnished 3 years ago, but i am planning a total rebuilt during next year. What fabricate are the hatches and windows? Good luck going forward

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks for you kind reaction!! 👍❤️ I hope you will have a succesfull build! The windows, roofhatches and door are from Outbound. I do not want to recommend them because of poor after sales service and the presence of a cold bridge in the door handle. Insulation and instalabillity is good And in any case I would not recommend the rollo-shutters (poor cleanability, easy to damage fly screen, bulky design, clunky operations). Hope this helps! 👍❤️

[@jacopomasera4499]

❤️ will do it quick 🤣 loved that comment a lot!!!! I have the opposite of ADHD....OCD. 🤣 helps a lot 👍👍 Thanks for your support and watch out for next video. Coming up soon, would love to know what you, with ADHD, think about it! ❤️👍

[@allypallywizzy]

@@uglysjourney it’s funny you should say you have OCD and that’s opposite to ADHD because my life only works in someways because my wife is OCD. She would be doing the painting and the whole filling whilst I go out and procrastinate about the next part of the job and how on earth am I going to be able to do it, and then she comes along and simplifies it. It works really well. I will be watching

[@uglysjourney]

What a kind comment and reply! And you and your wife and you being ying and yang, always good to have your soulmate. Hope you tell her that! ❤️ Thanks for your support and I would love to have you hanging around ❤️👍

Knap stukje werk hoor, en het eindresultaat mag er zeker zijn. Wij vertrekken morgen weer naar Spanje. Tot ziens 😎👍

[@uglysjourney]

Mazzelaars, lekker hoor, geniet ervan! Is alles in NL goed verlopen?

[@solidmoon8266]

Man Id be super tempted to live in one of these if I was sure it could handle a Canadian winter and I could find places to get water and dump sewage easily. Canadian isnt exactly the best for Mobile homes.

[@uglysjourney]

Yeah, thanks for sharing your thoughts! ❤️👍 I am not sure what temperatures you want to stay in? So it is hard to say something useful..... Our container is still comfortable without a heater on when it is about 3 degrees Celcius (almost freezing in Fahrenheit). I have seen people living in a boat that was surrounded by ice.....that is cold. And they manage because they keep the heater on.....

[@yvesmartin812]

well done, very nice work. here is my question: what is the weight of your container after arrangement?

[@uglysjourney]

Hello Yves, thanks for your kind comment and question! 😄 The container will be around 5.000kg, completely filled, incl 600 lit. water. Are you planning to build something yourself? 👍❤️

[@mentalneil]

What a pity you didn't line the bedroom cladding lines up, it would have looked so much better, however its so nice to see you back publishing videos again

[@uglysjourney]

❤️ thanks for your support! Yeah you are right about the cladding alignment! It did not sit right with my "ocd" as well. In next vid, if all goes right, you will see the cover in the corners.... It helps a small bit 🫣

[@mentalneil]

@@uglysjourney look forward to seeing it

[@geasenergie]

good morning, a simple question, why instead of wooden beads for the covering, didn't you prefer plasterboard?

[@uglysjourney]

Thanks for your question! ❤️👍 I like using wood and I have experience with it. And I also like the idea I can put a screw in almost anywhere. So yeah not really considered something else. Why would you say plasterboard is a good / the right option? 👍❤️

[@geasenergie]

@@uglysjourney ,I was thinking about plasterboard as an option, but I have doubts that it could cause cracks due to the torsion of the container while driving on the road. What do you think?

[@uglysjourney]

Ahh, thanks for explaining. 👍 I believe I have seen people doing a sort of flexible plaster on a moving vehicle. And that stays on. I have used real tiles (glued all around) and they also stay on and do not crack..... I can imagine that you would use additional fixation for the boards? But yeah, no specialist here. ❤️👍

[@jeeptrucklover72]

A mop and a broom would do wonders

[@uglysjourney]

You sound like my wife 😄😄👍 Thanks!

[@fraserwright9482]

Interesting approach, i am wondering why you made a tounge and groove box inside, but no plumbing or electrical in the walls? Normally in a house you lay down under floor heating, hvac, plumbing, electrical and ventilation. Then clad, as this is a sealed system now and sleeping in it your CO2 levels are going to be an issue, sure you can open a window, ok if its 15-20°C but a missed opportunity given a shipping container is robust enough for being submerged at sea.

[@uglysjourney]

Hi thanks for your opinion and comment! To answer your question I could ask you to watch next weeks video, but will not do that. I will use a raised floor and internal walls to route everything. First this helps with accessibility (not so experienced, so can correct mistakes), but also enables me to build without an exact plan/lay-out. And second I wanted to have the insulation 100% intact. All in all quite happy with the results! The CO2 comment I do not understand. Can you explain/elaborate a bit? How is this container different than a room in a house for instance. Like to hear what you say, so please let me know! Cheers for the support and comments!! 👍👍🍻

[@fraserwright9482]

Your own home has ventilation as part of its construction to reduce mold, damp and remain habitable, hopefully your house is not 6x2.5sqm A container is a steel box designed for cargo at sea and you are having 4 or 5 people inside a sealed box. Great for insulation, but a bit like breathing into a paper bag you raise the Carbon dioxide levels above what is normal.

[@uglysjourney]

When you keep everything shut yes, then you are right. But why would we keep everything shut? Even in cold temperatures we have windows open, works very well. And added to that we have a heating system that uses the "damp" inside air and blows that out of the box. All in all we are very happy and so is our temperature/home-weather-station, monitors inside humidity as well, always well within normal. Hope this helps and if not, then lets agree to disagree. Have a good day! 👍❤️

O cara manja é profissional esse tipo de trabalho não é pra qualquer um não parabéns pelo o video e o canal

[@uglysjourney]

Thank you! But to be honest this is all DIY, I have never done this type of work before. It did take me a very long time. 1,5 years fulltime. It feels like a big compliment, so thank you very much!! ❤️❤️👍

[@MakinBacon0651]

The only issue I have with this build is using a Conex box is the weight. This will impact the milage and suspension as well as the acceleration and breaking. Could have used a lighter solution then a steel box. I understand it is more convent and possibly a little cheaper but still so much heavier than this build needed to be.

[@uglysjourney]

Yeah, thanks for your thoughts! And indeed the container makes us about 10% heavier than we could be. I do not think that is much especially when I factor in what it all gives back ❤️👍. Coming week I will post a comparison video with the Earthroamer SX (same weight class and dimensions). You will be surprised when we compare it 😄😄

[@jonnolly]

Did you use expanding foam as an adhesive or do cans look the same? Confused!

[@uglysjourney]

Well spotted 👍❤️. It is a flexible expanding foam as a temporary adhesive and filler for a small gap. It worked......😄👍
