[@willspeed4585]

Ah, a clean vehicle. Exactly what I *don't* have right now.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Ha yeah mine is not usually that clean

[@moehoward01]

Mine would last about 2 days after a cleanup.

[@nickrich1415]

It is impossible to keep a clean van while you’re on call😂

[@L8NiteCoffeeSips]

Highlight for me was the yeti cooler

[@tphvac87]

My van needs a good douche too, crazy hot lately….after a 12-14 hour day the last thing you wanna do is clean your van 🥱

[@mikehellekson]

Kudos for showing it before being cleaned! Makes me feel not so bad about how mine looks lol

[@MmmChipotle]

I'm a field service tech for a forklift company. Thanks for showing me some ideas to play around with organizing my van!

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Awesome bud glad to help!!

[@JPminer814]

As someone newely into the software engineering field, videos like this just give the notion that I might have enjoyed the trades a bit more. Thanks for the video.

[@leosthrivwithautism]

I couldn't help but to think "that is one expensive van with everything you have in there". I can understand now why people in your industry suffer alot if they get their van's broken in to. HVACR Tech's carry alot in those van's, I had no idea. Thanks for the Tour! It was very interesting.

[@johnbell6956]

I personally was impressed with the R22 cylinders. Currently in my area they are $1,500.00 each.

[@ParabellumX]

We easily spend several thousand dollars just to get the tools that we need to do jobs large and small.

[@joshuaobelenusable]

For your chemicals, here are a few options: 1 large boot tray for the whole shelf, some bigger plastic hotel pans to split things up, or various smaller fridge organizer containers (crystal clear)

[@quietone610]

Might want to research what chemicals eat which plastics. You may need stainless steel...

[@joshuaobelenusable]

@@quietone610 Yep, I was judging the plastic idea off what I saw he had. Nothing stuck out as an issue, although some of it might cause crazing on acrylic.

[@JAWmankato]

I bent up a sheet metal tray then sprayed it with flex seal. Also foil taped the bottom of my shelf and flex sealed it. Both work equally as well.

[@Monkeh616]

Boot tray's a good suggestion - Ikea do some if there's one around. Theirs are polypropylene, which unless you're dealing with extreme temperatures (think boiled oceans) will be fine with most things short of strong acids (sulfuric, nitric..), real turpentine (anyone still use that?), or paint thinners (toluene, xylene).

[@chipkapowski1781]

Grainger has plastic shelf bins that come in a couple sizes and has plastic dividers you can use for the chemicals.

[@Jacob..Springer]

I want to be an HVAC technician like you, Thanks for showing us all the cool tools you have.

[@Jacob..Springer]

When I say us I mean everybody who watches the video

[@jessihawkins9116]

when I grow up I wana be just like you to 🥹

[@aaronburke2469]

I love your van set up. I'm obsessed with work van organization. My boss often tells me to "get a life" or "find a hobby" when he sees what I do to organize my van in my free time. That metal deep drawer, tool chest and "pack out" rack is is a dream set up for me. Lol.

[@scrambler350]

Getting my van organized is good for my mental health - it's satisfying to get everything straight and relieves anxiety - especially the next day when you open the door to a clean van and don't have to worry about digging for things or climbing or fighting to get what you need.

[@19cerni91]

I dont work as hvac technitian for about 6months and i miss it so much

[@scrambler350]

Plastic Tray for the chemicals, go to the cleaning product isle at the Home Store and you'll find some white, Libman brand cleaning totes - that's what I keep my aerosol and chemicals in....as well as use them to tote 3/4" and 1" PVC fittings/glue/cutters.

[@3harath]

If you keep heavier stuff at bottom, lighter stuff at top, it lowers centre of gravity of van, you will feel the difference, gives you more confidence in driving 🙏

[@honeycomb8753]

Freon cylinders (re: squeaking) .. use some knee pad / yoga mat material and cut small wedges to place under the strapped down end. No more squeaking.

[@jakepeoples9238]

I work at a family owned retail appliance and electronic store... I do all the installs and service work for the past 5 years...I like your load out... My van looks way worse after a week😂... Im curious where's the multi tool!😂😂😂 You have awesome tools...Great video and walkthrough!

[@Ryan-bh1sk]

I lined my cylinder racks with drawer liner from home depot. The same kind that lines the big tool chests. Worked perfectly and is super quiet now.

[@strimbimmin328]

Your clean and pristine van are an exact opposite of my chaos portal Van. Somehow happen to know where all the stuff I need is though lol

[@jddilligaff]

Now that is real Life , I can not keep my truck clean I move too fast from job to job I clean it on Sundays dirty by Monday afternoon I try to put stuff where it belongs but it is time consuming and I am Service and Install so there is a lot of tools in my small Van . good Videos . can't explain why I watch someone doing what I do for 9 hours a day FFS .

[@kaptaintrips]

"Can't explain why I watch someone do what I do for 9hrs a day, ffs" is exactly what I've been thinking but we both know we're watching quality content! Cant explain why I comment on what I do 9 hrs/day, either :))

[@jazbell7]

That is very impressive and well done. I especially like that everythig is tied down, If you have a wreck, stuff will not be flying around.

[@tullywebster9727]

I keep a 25’ ref hose and that nitro blow gun for flowing out drains in ceilings. That way the nitro tank stays on the ground. And not trying to balance in the drop ceiling

[@edswider9309]

Chris I did the work for 40 years and never seen the floor we always said if your truck is clean you don’t work

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

Great off the cuff video Chris. Thanks for showing your a human being too. Stay safe and be well. Hope thw day goes quick for you.

[@workingfunnyTV]

i'm hvac technician in south korea. I saw your setup and it helped me a lot. thanks.

[@Abeille30]

Not the same but my electrical van is similar. For suggestion, it's hard to tell but a battery charging station is probably highly needed. One of the improvements I made these past years was to try to reduce the passenger's side constant mess. One of the solutions that worked for me was to eliminate, to the best of my ability, everything papers related. I got installed a ram mount (seat's fixed) for a lte laptop and put all my documentation(pdf), invoices(excel sheets), etc, in there with an ac/dc converter+printer(HP OfficeJet 250) in the back; so far so good. I also bought a cheap bamboo steering wheel desk to eat or write. You could also maybe add a cleaning thingy in the back for your hands, a paper towel/soap/hydrate your hands' station. For the chemical galore, I bought an aluminum sheet and used a big hole saw in it to cover at less the can making a mess everywhere; if I was to redo it, I would use plastic instead to dampen the sound like abs pipe cut and glued together or whatever.

[@scrambler350]

+1 on the charging station idea - I mounted a 2000w inverter on the inside of the bulkhead with an M18/M12 Fast Charger just above it - don't burn through batteries very fast running service - but I'm always able to charge a battery while driving between calls if needed. I just ordered one of those bamboo steering wheel desks too - I'm hoping it works well on a Chevy Express 2500.

[@FlugPoP]

Beautifully done. Thanks for making this video. GREAT job.

[@Drizzy_LP]

It’s always a great feeling when your vans organized. I love the set up! A recommendation I would make are getting some simple spill trays for your chemicals. I keep mine in crates so they’re not moving around too much. For the odds and ends in the tool bag, if become fond of using plastic pencil cases and labeling them accordingly. It definitely helps keeping my bag clean!

[@edswider9309]

Always a critic

[@nightone9720]

Man I really dig your setup Chris. Seems like everything fits wonderfully. I'm sure it took you some time to get it right. Nice job man

[@Stealth86651]

"My van's a mess" he says. Considering some of the places/jobs I've worked, that van should be on the sales floor, looks spotless in comparison.

[@DieDae]

Looks like the biggest problem with your refrigerant cylinders is that the bungee is letting it bounce. Use the bungee to pull it down and that might help. You could even use a rubber or insulation to keep the tank steady against the bungee so it won't move as much.

[@spencerhoyt5649]

Rubber boot tray thats shallow would work for ur chems

[@joelluna9957]

Just loved the condenser unit short cycle comment. ✌🏻You’re the man! Thank You for being legit and humble!

[@highryder100]

For the shelf with chemicals.. try the silicone dish drying mats. They come in all shapes and sizes on Amazon for cheap- with and without a lip around the edge to hold spilled liquid. Iv used them for all kinds of different off label applications. Check them out- might find one or a combination that will do what you need

[@baldving86]

Wow this is full packed hvac car evrything you need good job 👌

[@Ted_E_Bear]

Thanks for sharing the van !

[@theangrytechnician6649]

Nice van! Years ago I had the sheet metal guy make me a pan for all my chemicals, might not be a bad idea. And I wish you remembered that guys name. I would buy that in a heartbeat!

[@jasonjohnsonHVAC]

Those Fluke 1587 are like $850-$950. Use the PI and DAR settings. They give a ratio which you can reference to be very precise. I'd like to think i know quite a bit about meggers and how to get proper readings....that 1587 is alsoa standard multimeter as well as a megger....i want one...but hard to cough up the dough for it

[@jakemilton3212]

love the video thanks for taking the time to explain what and where every thing is in the van and letting us in to your personal life a little bit. i also love luke

[@crabmansteve6844]

I'm a telecomm field tech, when my van is clean it will last 2-3 normal days. I've had single work orders that have completely trashed my shit though, I hate those. Commercial rewires, I'm looking at you. Or replacing a long underground run of trunkline. You can directly tell how smooth my day is going and gauge my mood by how the back of my truck lookstrunking. I'm glad to see Klein tools popping up, they're the absolute gold standard in my industry. Especially doing linework.

[@woodmasterguy]

Akro-Mils makes many different kinds of trays and storage stuff, love them in my truck...

[@burritothenoodledragon]

try some thing like foam board in t in the refrigerant tank holder to give it a bit snugger of fit that also bubbles as padding

[@tullywebster9727]

Pack rat makes an awesome 40”wx48”dx8”&12”H drawer unit. My 2017 Chevy express van had on. I mounted it on the side doors directly to the floor. Lots of storage.

[@johnbell6956]

Nice truck layout. I changed from Chevrolet 3500 extended vans about 20 years ago. Went to Chevy 3500 cut away, dual rears with a Zoresco enclosed service body. Saves your knees and banging your head as you get older.

[@ejonesss]

now that you have plenty of room in the van you can be able to stock all the replacement belts. heck you can even bolt on some box between the ladders on the roof and put the belts there.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Nah belts are a waste of money to stock for me, we don't use them enough and they end up going bad, we keep some at the office but we don't stock them in the trucks...

[@bphc1969]

Idk boss who you trying to fool that van looks pretty awesome. Milwaukee has a battery charger that plugs into a cigarette lighter. Yes I know most new vehicles don’t have one I hardwired mine.

[@poohbear4130]

My journeyman always made me clean the van Friday morning, we restocked Friday and made sure the consumables are replaced! Now I have taken his “Friday morning clean” to my van, the one thing it does is it keeps you organized and maintaining a routine! Taking an hour every Friday is important for own well being, don’t forget your tools make you money and the van is the most expensive tool!

[@ICountFrom0]

You never know when having the Dye kit (even if it IS back at the shop) will end up being a requirement on a warrantee repair. So it's good that it's somewhere.

[@duramusmosley5530]

Why we are addicted to pack outs but we are and the thumbs up is guaranteed.

[@duramusmosley5530]

Why we are addicted to pack outs, I don't know*, but we are and the thumbs ups are guaranteed.* 🙂

[@scrambler350]

I keep an ice chest between the seats too - up against the bulkhead. I don't see how other guys work all day without having water. In front of the icechest I have 3 of the Harbor Freight ammo cans to hold smaller parts I don't want riding in the back: * One can has all my small batteries and an M18 to USB adaptor. * One has things like brass caps, hose gaskets, o-rings, mini-split adaptors, service tees, and other various refrigerant hose fittings, etc. * The third has sauce packets, seasonings, plastic forks, etc for eating lunch on the go. ...I keep my Day Planner, paperwork, and iPad on top of the cans.

[@richardlellip.e.m.b.a.7969]

Looks a lot more organized and clean than what I've seen in previous in-field videos.

[@edswider9309]

Looks nice don’t hit a bump at 40

[@Sigman-xg9mf]

Love your videos!!!! They’ve been extremely helpful!!

[@tbelding]

Additional option for the chemicals. Heavy adhesive vinyl. Lay it across the painted sections (you can use a heat gun to mold it a bit), and up the sides. Then, take some silicone caulk and hit the crease/corners to seal it.

[@dant4802]

Very nice and organized thanks for the walkthrough!

[@davidgriffin14]

Excellent idea with the Harbor Freight tool box end.

[@brnmcc01]

I have the Inficon D-Tek stratus, that things amazing. That cloud hunting feature has literally saved my butt a few times. I once picked up a leak inside a walkin freezer that was inside or accessed from inside the walkin cooler. I got a hit of about 10-15 parts per million (404A system) near the lineset connection to the evap, so pulled the covers off the evap coil, checked all the usual spots, TXV, external equalizer, return bends, nothing definite. Checked the unit on the roof, checked the microchannel condenser coil thoroughly, got nothing. Then I had a hunch and climbed up into the attic of this restaurant, and started getting a stronger hit. After awhile I found the culprit. There is a section of the attic above the cooler and freezer that's a storage area with a plywood floor and some shelving units. Well, they had put one of these shelving units on top of the lineset, and one of the legs had worn a small hole in the vapor line. It looked like a pre-charged lineset, and the lazy installers had just coiled up all the extra lineset and left it on the floor! Well, that was easy. I pumped the system down, cut out all the extra lineset (almost 15 feet!) along with the damaged part of the tubing, brazed in a coupling, swaged the 3/8 liquid line, added 4 pounds of gas, and a year later I still have a clear sight glass. Bottom line is that leak detector picked up the leak from that far away! Picked up just what was seeping thru the armaflex suction line insulation. I have not tested it yet with R290 with the included sensor, but just for fun, I tried it with a known VERY small natural gas leak, and it worked like a champ! So if it can easily pickup natural gas, I'm pretty confident it'll pick up R290. Reason being, it's infrared based, and propane is heavier and denser than air, a lot like R22, and I think it'll pick it up. I'll try it out with butane from a Bic lighter when I get a chance. So far that's my goto leak detector, and I think it might just be the closest thing to a '1 stop shop' detector. I use the bubble stuff for a backup, or just to confirm something is leaking enough to bubble. Basically if you get to 1000ppm you're very close, 3000+ is a big leak. One thing I've found is if there's a decent sized leak inside a small walkin, sometimes have to go outside and let it breathe some known clean air to settle down, because the cloud hunting mode is continually switching ports and alternately sampling the port by the handler and the probe tip, so if the refrigerant concentration is equal by your hand to the tip it doesn't work so well, but can just switch modes to Low or Med etc.

[@Casal70]

My D-tek select reacts to butane/propane mix from camping burner on my table, not above. Not sure what sensor type it has, guess non-IR. I was surprised. It seems to also detects ethanol in ridiculous smal amounts. If it reacts to R290, not sure if I need a better tool? Time will tell or someone else.

[@brnmcc01]

@@Casal70 The thing to keep in mind is propane, like most refrigerants esp R410 is much heavier than air, and will tend to 'pour' off the table top (assuming still air in the room), and then onto the floor. This is what makes it so dangerous in places like basements where propane will tend to collect in the lowest and seldom occupied part of the house. Until the gas/air mixture reaches just the right mix, and meets an ignition source... Natural gas which is mostly methane with a sometimes trace amounts of naturally occuring hydrogen, is lighter than air and will tend to float and disapate. The D-tek does use an IR sensor, like the fieldpiece, and things like propane and most refrigerants change the air density enough to disturb the IR light path in the sensor.

[@LaphamA]

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing, this is really neat and gives me a few ideas for my own van

[@ngreed]

Looks like a good setup. if you ever do end up putting an aftermarket inverter in check Kussmaul Electronics, they have an auto eject plug so you can plug your van into 110v power and it will keep your battery charged, and it will eject the cord when you start your van so you do not drive off with it plugged in.

[@jerrykorman7770]

I can also vouch for Kussmaul. Although their products are intended for keeping fire apparatus batteries and air tanks fully charged, Chris would probably appreciate their proven products

[@manschool4992]

Black plastic restaurant server trays nestled in the rectangular black milk crates. Put your chem bottles on top of the tray inside the milk crate. Done.

[@zaccody6980]

Man I wish my van was laid out that nice haha also one thing I've found to cut down on tank rattle is to get a small bungy cord and wrap around the handle of the tank and then hook it on each side. Great video!

[@DakotaHeatingAndAir]

Mannnn I can't wait to be able to put a van together! I am outgrowing my truck. Thank you for sharing!

[@MegaDysart]

These are my favorite type of videos, right up there with the difficult diag stuff and the "day in the life" kind of videos some other channels do (video idea?). Tool bag set up videos are cool too, I know you've done a few of those.

[@danielmusat597]

Hi. For the bottles in the back, you could use some rubber or silicon grommets to prevent the rattling. You just have to increase the holes where the hooks connect to the casings.

[@THETIMINATORTHETOOLMAN]

Good video Lots of detail on different products like the veto bags and such

[@MrDegille]

Have you thought of installing a Turbo encabulator?

[@jerrykorman7770]

Rockwell is introducing a new lineup of turbo encabulators next month. There will be great discounts on present inventory

[@tbelding]

Refrigerant cylinders - since there's probably not a lot of room in the collars, go buy vinyl contact paper (shelf paper, wall paper) - self adhesive. Line the collars with it. It won't last forever, but it's cheap enough you can replace it when it wears through, and the plastic will squeak a LOT less than the enamel paint.

[@Slugbunny]

One of the neater vans! Any place with lots of stuff and no spare room gets messy. Maybe a big, wheeled Rubbermaid or whatever box for the chemicals? On the floor? Strap in, pull out, full liquid containment (as long as they don't eat plastic). PS Liked cargo netting as a trucker. Fast to throw on and take off, best coverage. Might be something for the shelves or extra security.

[@tinbasher84]

Wow. That’s fantastic. Those Milwaukee shop vacs are a must have. Lookin good pal.

[@wades623]

You should really get some leather gloves from a welding shop for when you use the torch. If one of those globs of brazing rod fall on you it's going to suck. Also for Teflon tape the yellow gas line stuff I find is better in general just because it's thicker and easier to work with because it doesn't fold over on itself as easy

[@mtucker3401]

I use a small metal drain pan that our sheet metal shop made one for me. Works pretty good. I love using cases for fuses too. Just in case the label rubs off I label the top of the case. I hate guessing what fuse size I have. And this mini fuses are crazy expensive!

[@iniatiniat3822]

I really like your trade big boss, continue sending us some videos, thumbs up

[@johnnyfair1005]

I used a yeti just like that when I still ran out of a van. You can buy an adapter for the drain to adapt to a water hose then I got a short hose with a ball valve on it. Ran it behind the driver seat to the step so I could drain the cooler without removing it from the van.

[@thegreatjellydoughnu]

That's a cool van setup I like the strut to mount the tanks. Your refrigerate bottle rack you could get some felt and glue it in that may stop the squeek

[@trentlewis1473]

Hey love the video man, I enjoy seeing how various professionals organize their work vehicles. As for your chemical storage, if you can find someone who could 3D print you a tray. Then spray in some layers of truck bed liner to seal it. Keep up the good work and please keep posting videos. P.S. my dad had a saying "if you have a spare, you will never need it"

[@strimbimmin328]

I’ve lost and found tools so much that I have spares of most of them and this saying rings true- If you have a spare in the truck you won’t be without it on Saturday evening

[@hkhsm359]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing

[@rockercover]

That is the way I used to carry the 4-wheel cart. Big difference with certain companies, nothing extra in the cab. Many co-workers seat-belted in items into the passenger seat. (Still disallowed). Company has had some crazy drivers over the years, unable to keep van upright.

[@rick43pen]

Pivoting roof rack. Never occurred to me. That would be very handy, and not just for servicemen.

[@blazinj77V2]

Like the tour of the van, helps to see how you like to organize and flow. I wonder if a concrete mixing tub would work for your chemical bin? Also maybe putting some of your insulated foam tape inside the rings of the cylinder holders might help cut the squeak of them, or at least to have them a bit more snug so they won't move as much. A pvc pipe bungeed up either inside or on the ladder rack may help if you have a lot of straight metal pieces that you want secured. They make pickup truck netting for securing loads, wonder if that would work over some of the bins with smaller items. All in all a great tour of the van, just some things I thought of while watching. Hope ya have a good day.

[@CulizelVibes]

After this past week my van looks like a tornado went through it. Im going to have fun tomorrow sorting everything back out and cleaning all the failed components I replaced. 🤣

[@jeremiah._.hamman9255]

For the chemicals, you could take out that bottom shelf and get a chemical storage/ fire cabinet it would ensure nothing moves around while in transit and in the event that you have a leak that causes a reaction you wouldn’t have to worry about it damaging anything outside of the cabinet only challenge would be ventilation for the cabinet.

[@GregoryGlaser]

About the chemical shelf, you might give some thought to spray in truck bed liner.

[@ErvinHyatt]

For your chemical tray get your sheet metal duct shop to bend you a tray with sealed corners and seal with chemical resistant paint on pan sealer. Pickup truck bed protection coating is tough as heck.

[@Holop88]

Custom shelf for the bins is great.

[@mikekotarba5828]

Thank you for making the video

[@fleurdelune5240]

Love your van organization. Everything has a place. ❤️ Try a Rubbermaid (or any brand) underbed storage container for your chemical shelf. They come in various sizes, long, narrow, etc.

[@YuShudNoe]

This old dude told me the best techs have the messiest trucks lol You just confirmed it

[@wackyworldofwindios3476]

Nice Van. I use to do inventory on 4 vans Before I Retired. My Boss was good at making a mess but was bad at cleaning the vanss and keeping inventory.

[@jonathanhughes380]

I really like your van setup.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Thanks bud

[@James_Bowie]

For the squeaking refrigerant cylinders, put plastic insulation "spaghetti" over the hooks.

[@Georges3DPrinters]

Suggestion for your van that I'm looking into making myself is a piece of plywood with some magnetic pads that are coated in rubber, have a nut and stud that I will secure to the plywood and then just put standard drywall screws to mount all the Chargers with the keyhole slot and take a grinder and flap wheel to flatten the screws that stick out the back. Using a dab of hot snot to lock charger in place. For your inverter situation you need a lithium battery and an isolator to go with it. Allows charging but not discharging the main battery.

[@Georges3DPrinters]

I really like your van setup.

[@admalledd]

No ideas here myself on the "how/layout" of the battery charging, but like said consider having one of those "120v portable power banks" big things and plug all the chargers off that, so that if the van is off things can keep charging or if in some crazy reason you need 120v somewhere you have a portable pack. Then if/when it runs low you only really need to worry about the bigger power bank to recharge it, harder to forget or if you do at least your tool batteries are still in the truck in their chargers. Saw that from the electricians who rewired my house, they had only just got the bank a few months before but had already saved their bacon once or twice on "forgot to charge" or "need 120v for something but no mains power nearby".

[@TheLinkhoffman87]

I have the d-tek stratus and I love it one of many of my favorite investments in tools

[@mikesheets4332]

Cool vid brings back memories

[@AquaTech225]

Get you a small 21Qt 12v vehicle Fridge/Freezer. Quiet -4° to 68°. Never have to buy ice again. No water logged food/snacks what not. Low battery shut off not to ever kill the vehicle from starting. Like $180 give or take. Enjoy the hell out of mine

[@paulthompson1654]

Use a portable compressor fridge ,,, way cool lol.

[@seanb658]

My cart i breakdown to save space since i don't always use it. Take the screws out of the legs, the legs will come out and fit in the bottom and the top flips and covers the bottom, bungie cord holds it all together.

[@pigalex]

15:50 you could use a bit of thick vapor barrier plastic and tack it up with strong magnets to form a tray

[@crazydan2327]

Resisto membrane use a piece of that for the shelf to contain any leaking chemicals

[@451dev]

narrrow jaw wrench is a must !

[@seamusgreen3429]

If you have access to a tin shop, I love to make small plenums to store stuff in to protects things in/out of the container (you can caulk the seems if you need it water tight)

[@ReliableHVACR]

Awesome man 🙌🏽

[@MrVitolito]

It's funny because those knipex stripers are the standard wire strippers for electricians here in Europe (or at least Portugal). Every electrician I know uses those style strippers daily for all types of small conductor stripping

[@dalemarr70]

For your chemicals tray. Get a section of shower pan liner & glue it down. You can have it come up the walls how ever high you trim it. Home Depot sells it from a 4' wide roll.

[@juicyHTX]

Videos like this make me wanna do a tour of my service truck!!
