This van build also shows the kind of person you are: 1. Unconventional, 2. Attention to detail, 3. Focussed on the outcome no matter how hard it is to get there. Also why you excel on a dirtbike because being better on a dirtbike takes practice, practice and practice...
@mikeb834215 күн бұрын
VERY nice build! There are a few things I would do differently, but for the most part, they're just based on personal preference. Upgrades to consider.... 1. Cover/dress up the bottom of your bed frame and table. 2. Connect the two table straps together so you only have one unhook/hook to go from table stored to deployed. 3. Pull your garage vinyl up and glue it down to prevent the ripple in it. 4. If you always have a ton of extra battery available, consider getting a nice induction hot plate. Some have the ability to dial in an exact temperature (in 5° or 10° increments) and it gets rid of needing to keep butane on board. There was something else, but I'd have to go back and watch the entire video to remember it (CRS doncha know 😀). None of this is criticism, or at the most, constructive criticism. Overall a GREAT build. I've been thinking of something along these lines for quite a while, but for my bagger Goldwing. For me, though, AC and hot water would be required. Also, I'd probably make the shower pan hiden under a floor panel in the garage so it's invisible when not in use.

Dream build for sure. Few things I figured I'd chime in about: -Might be worth adding caulking to connect the kitchen butcher block and walls? -A bit of food grade antifreeze may be cheap insurance for the winterization process. -Adding weights to the bottom of your shower curtain may allow you to store it above and have it drop down (storyteller style), and rolled up/clipped when not in use on the hooks.
@BeRAD Жыл бұрын
It’s caulked! It’s clear and does not show on video. I really won’t ever need to winterize it because if it’s cold, I keep it heated. I don’t plan to not be living in it in the winter…

@@BeRAD Completely agree... Most commercial builders focus on aesthetics because looks sell... Only when you live in one do you really wish you had a better build by a guy who actually lives in one full time and rides toys... You should absolutely have a business going... Here is the only problem I see... Most guys who have $$$ for a 150K van are older/retired. Those folks tend not to care for a sleeper van. They are happy to have a 30-40 ft toy hauler. Gypsy souls like me want one like this but most find the cost to be a huge barrier to get in...
