Installing a subfloor & vinyl planks| Ram Promaster Easy Van Build

[@user-xe2im5ff1g]

Years of watching alternative living videos, and you are the first to make me think, maybe i can. 🙏♥️

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Awww I love this comment so much. Everyone’s journey is different, but when I started really assessing what the basic needs were and how easily they could be met, it just clicked. I will continue to evolve my van over time, but even in its rawest form, I loved the simplicity of travel ♥️. Best of luck to you.

A double twofer! 2 videos in 24 hours and 2 Tiny Texans! The floor looks fabulous and I absolutely love the outtakes.

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Haha true! Thank you, I always love when I get to work with my kiddo :-)

[@glindacochran3081]

Great job! Love the floor! Can’t wait to see what the next project is. You two make a great team.

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Thank you 😊 I always have fun working with my kiddo ♥️

[@13monkz]

I hope somehow this gets answered… where does the spare tire go?

[@debbiewalton427]

That was wonderful to see Mother / Daughter in action!! Looks really good! Brittany needs to do more vids with you! Plant Apples get Apples! ha ha Same laugh and mannerisms ... Loved it!! Great job Ladies!! Very Impressed! Leaving for Table Rock Lake Campground, better put You Tube down and get finishing touches done of packing!! :)

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

☺️. I love getting to work with her. I shared your comment with Brittany and she agreed lol. Your comment made us both laugh because I’ve always called her apple and she calls me tree ♥️. Hope y’all have fun in your trip :-). Heading to the Dogwood Music Festival myself. :-). Safe travels.

[@laurenm8561]

Y’all make a great team! She is a younger image of you, fun to watch and such a blessing. Thanks for the video

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

♥️ Thanks for the positive feedback:-). I love when I get the chance to work on projects and include Brittany in my videos. It does this mama’s heart good :-)

[@ralphp3057]

Great job Christi ! You and your daughter make a great team . They do make a rubber butyl caulk you could use around the edges! And it would seal the edges of the plywood. Thanks for sharing!😁👍

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

I’m sorry I missed your response here 😬. I did love getting to work with my daughter ♥️. Thanks for the suggestion on the specific caulk, I’ll definitely look into that :-)

[@ralphp3057]

@@TinyTexanAdventures That’s okay Christi ! We all get busy etc etc . That stuff isn’t caulk . Works like caulk but dries like rubber ! Silicone base stuff . If you did use that ? Wear disposable gloves and blue tape wear you don’t want it . Anyway, keep up the good work on your van .👍😁

[@Comprise1]

Cute team! Love your floor

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Thank you 😊 I absolutely love “bring my daughter to work” days lol

[@deeplansandbudgets]

Great job. May I ask why you did not reuse the matt instead of the sound deadening material? Your daughter looks so much like you. It is fun to project with our kids for sure.

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Thank you 😊 I wanted to glue the plywood directly to the Van floor not to the mat :-) YES! I love when we get to work together ♥️

[@emgee4075]

Nice job! Looks great!

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Thank you 😊

[@OhJeezLouise]

I love the floor but why did you start laying it width wise but ended up installing length wise?

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Thanks for watching and commenting:-). Maybe I’m misunderstanding your question. I didn’t change the direction of the flooring on the installation. My daughter and I worked tag team and staggered the seams but the direction of each plank was the same?

[@randallsrutledge]

Dang! The slide was broken and so was my heart after years of wanting to ride the slide. Boohoo...maybe next year.

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Aww I’m sorry 😢 I know you were looking forward to it.

[@heatherlucero2530]

Great job!!

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Thank you and thanks for watching 😊

[@helenjeindl524]

Thank you for showing us that it doesn't need to be as scary as others have made it look. This was fun 🥰😻😻🚐

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

:-). Thanks for watching and commenting 😊. We were tired when it was all done, but had a blast with my daughter:-)

[@martykong3592]

:) WELL DONE indeed! THANKS MUCH for sharing! Cheers :)

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Thank you!

[@heartquaked]

Great job!

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Thank you! It was so empowering to realize it was not nearly as difficult as I thought it might be!

[@donfogg1343]

Looks great!

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Thank you 😊

[@sharonwensel3140]

Did the Killmatt make a big difference in the noise when you are driving the van?

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

It certainly muted things a bit and substantially less echo-y lol

[@homewiththehalpins]

The outtakes 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

😂Always my favorite part with you ♥️

[@exploringnext1111]

Looks good but why didn't you insulate your floor with a moisture barrier?

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

Thank you. After talking to many people in the field I decided that in order for a vapor barrier to work it has to be airtight, which is not the case and many people feel it would not be helpful. I did install hydrophobic insulation on the walls but decided not to lose height in the van by building the floor up. I use multiple dehumidifiers for additional moisture control.

[@clarekelsey2774]

Why no insulation under the plywood? I've never seen a sub-floor done w/out some type of insulation.

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

After talking to many people in the field I decided that in order for a vapor barrier to work it has to be airtight, which is not the case in this van and many people feel it would not be helpful. I did install hydrophobic insulation on the walls but decided not to lose height in the van by building the floor up. I use multiple dehumidifiers for additional moisture control. I’ve seen them done both ways, but this just works the best for my needs.

[@Logan7P88]

Double trouble ❤

[@TinyTexanAdventures]

You know it!
