Living The Van Life - Sprinter Van Build - Ceiling Fan Installation

[@mohgujai]

Just so satisfying to see a build that's done right, no corners cut, all legit.

[@b3hulk]

Recommend getting some rubber grommets for the holes you made for the wiring in the igloo. Vibrations will cut the wires over time

[@donnabrooks3223]

I miss you taking trips.

[@johnnySMALLpepper]

THE NEW ONES WILL BE EPIC

[@shellyhorton1526]

I know it cost money to build a van. I struggle so much. Finally. I would love to save money. I'm so impressed with your skills!

[@2manytoyz123]

3M 5200 is keeping half the boats in Florida afloat! Awesome product. Build is coming along nicely.

[@Jayrizzle411]

Make sure you waterproof the screw holes for the igloo. Some sealent over the screw tops would be perfect

[@kbakeritsallaboutnobody.5761]

I was thinking the same sealant/caulking that's used on most RV roofs would definitely help.

[@uritaub5441]

Right on. Suggest you do a leakage test in the garage before you move on building and wiring the iglu and the fans!

[@carlotomass119]

Eventually you’re back .. I’m from Scotland and that van you’re building would be perfect !

[@carriebishop8568]

I'm really loving the process of watching you build your van just the way you like it. So interesting

[@pepawg2281]

I remember installing an aftermarket sunroof on my 1979 Chevette! I bought this unit at Sears and it was a manual pop up glass sunroof panel. Once you decide, there's no going back! That thing NEVER leaked a bit!!! Loved that pos car!!!

[@aserta]

6:05 that one might fail. I dunno where you got that cowling, but it's supposed to come with two 90 degrees hard rubber grommets that by design, can't be installed from the inside of the vehicle. Those 90 degree grommets, you're supposed to install with the wires, then glue the cowling on top, which is just a secondary protection. Our Transit vans, eight in number, came from the reffiter's place without those grommets installed (in our case, the reffiter didn't install them) and the cowling failed after two years, because of the hot cold cycle. Just my 2 cents. If you google (images) "90 degrees grommet" it's very similar the gray one.

[@FarrellMcGovern]

"Belt and Suspenders" type thinking! I heartily approve!

[@HikaruSulu]

good idea with the solar panel on the roof ^^

[@Zrclle]

I dont think we quite understand how legendary these vids are

[@Faruk228]

No mercy to a brand new Mercedes. 👍 Very well done. 👌

[@davidrice6989]

Been nice if masked around before put self leveling lap sealant on alsinice clean edge. Nice work though!!!

[@aldonco]

I was thinking the same thing. I have ocd and I would want a straight edge. He wanted to make sure it will not leak. Regardless that is a clean install.

[@Ezrabastian]

It’s already done. Should’ve told him before install.

[@genesnyder2985]

THE “CHAD PAD” Build continues. 👏👏👏👍

[@11fireflower]

No doubt 😀

[@geronimo4332]

Living the fan life!

[@edgestrikesecurity]

I admire how precise you are with everything Chad. The van looks amazing so far & what an awesome job you've done!

[@Konstan-Zo]

cant wait to your first video with the van on the road again

[@thecocooreo]

That extra mile on the fan brackets will definitely payoff down the road with "Winter Storm Camping" 👍

[@Frankiez220]

This is the van I dream of. I would like the cash and that nice big workshop to build it. Oh yeh, and those mountains and acres of space you have there in the US. Chad, you’ve got to appreciate what you have there, enjoy every moment you have building that machine and enjoy your time in it. 🙏

[@susanjavier2008]

Enjoy watching your build and how very thought out to make the perfect van home

[@shawngreenwood7825]

Nice fans and I like how you reinforced the hole and the extra sealant. Should be very sturdy. Nice job! Very interesting to watch your build of this van, I can only imagine the extra time spent on filming this for us. Thanks!

[@stephenphillips1221]

always enjoy watching your stories over on IG! having a longer vid here on YT definitely enjoyable too. can't wait until the final product/finish work on the sprinter van.

[@docgannon]

The most hard core can build on KZbin goes to Chad, And you just know he is going to put everything to the test😆

[@AleSh79]

Hi! I live in Kazakhstan, I am subscribed to your channel, I am happy to watch your videos. I don't have a van, but I have an all-terrain vehicle.Thanks to your videos, I get ideas and bring them to life! Thanks again!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@davidsradioroom9678]

The build is coming along nicely.

[@Flipperwi715]

You're soooo good with what you're doing. It's also therapeutic viewing lol.

[@dmwi1549]

Nice thought on the aluminum strips. Wish I had done that. The butel tape and lap sealant should hold. Used under side reinforcement and trim rings from same supplier. Excellent product. No oil canning down highway. Looking for less buffeting and branch protection once a roof rack and solar are up there. Assuming you touched up paint on edges of holes like you did for flares? Like the holes in corners. Leaving corners round protects against stress tearing of sheet metal.

[@rewokenflash5023]

Sir love from 🇮🇳 India

[@richegg22]

Your attention to detail is amazing this is going to be an awesome build

[@ochjoo77]

That was thrilling..well mostly because of the soundtrack 😁

[@_Mamba]

I’d never have the balls Chad has to do his own Van Modifications, and that’s why I watch all of his videos 😂 Lookin’ good Chad! Keep it up

[@jolenemillington2666]

I was thinking the same thing, very nerve racking cutting into a brand new van.

This Van is going to be a beast! LTVL is going next level badass!!

[@timterrill6318]

I like how your really thinking it all out and building it heavy duty. You can tell that you have thought about this van build for some time. Great videos as always! Thank you! And keep on trucking 👍🏻💪🏻

[@bevr2164]

Chad you are the bomb.....no wonder you have 450K subs I am watching 3 van lifters build out their box truck, 25 year old toyota 4x4 from Japan. Ii would recommend your video to install fans Great information..👏👏👏🤗

[@billl8530]

Chads got some skills and work always looks professional

[@sukma3880]

I hope this year your channel will reach 1 million subscribers, greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩

Thumbs up for Morning Brew! Finally great sponsor :)

[@AutoDudes]

If you’re doing anymore sealing check out Lexel from Lowe’s. That stuff is super thick and very flexible. I use it for gutters and it’s crystal clear. It really works the best.

[@dutchglobetrotter6464]

Or use Bison Polymax or Sikaflex!

[@OutOfOfficeCamping]

@@dutchglobetrotter6464 Ya we've been using the Sikaflex on our Expedition Overland Flatbed Camper Build. We like it alot.

[@babymammoth6254]

You’re such a perfectionist Chad. I love it!

[@markusmontgomery594]

Ich genieße es deine Videos zu sehen ! Noch mehr freue ich mich auf Touren mit dem neuem Camper !!! Tausend dank fürs mitnehmen👍👍

[@rexmago9966]

Guaranteed no leaks with the extras you did! Nice work brother!

I cant wait to see you in the cold mountains again cooking up some grub with AMAZING drone shots!!

[@BAGINAZARD]

Next episode *I need to see him cook a large steak on the grill on the side of some country mash potatoes and gravy!* He still eats how else are dose he get the energy to work on this thing. Let's see it.

[@halu9997]

Man, buddy u killing it with the build.

[@thegreazyemperor]

I always anticipate uploads from LTVL whenever I open KZbin, especially the Sprinter Van series. Much love! From The Philippines kuya.

[@reznorfan25]

NICE! That's so good. I know a couple friends I've showed your videos to. They're trying to do the same thing with an old bus though.

[@aj2281ca]

You’re basically building my dream van 😆

[@Basement_CNC]

yeah, professionally done for sure , but if i eventually build one myself im going for a boxtruck (iveco daily or eurocargo) , makes it way easier, better isulation and more space , but a bit more exprnsive

[@xternl_]

Same

[@MattHalpain]

This is so exciting ! I look forward to all your adventures in your new Sprinter Van.

[@cathyfloridagirl2867]

Glad to see you Chad! You'll be able to Stand in your new Van! Cant wait to see all you do! Have a great week😎

Hey Chad good to see you brother. Van fans look good. Can't wait to see your finished van build. Know it's going to be bad ass!

[@UrbanVanlife]

great choice doing double fans , we did the same on the crafter build we have just finished , so much air flow and its amazing , great job chad

[@RedPilledJetiKnight]

This is very helpful for when I get my van I can go and recap on how to do things.

[@pittroadsixzeroseven]

I can’t wait til you are all done.

[@only-vans]

loving the twin fan setup. I hope you are gonna fit rubber grommets to those 2 holes that you drilled into your roof under that cable gland. Any cables running thru them could wear and short out on the metal edges.

[@stylerweiland]

[@alexacecornell7324]

awesome man! i like how detail you put in your work! Keep it up!

[@aboveallthingslove6349]

You should put rubber bushings or grommets in those sharp holes in the roof under the igloo to keep the sharp edges of the hole from cutting the wire insulation and shorting the solar cables against the edges. Also, I like those flares, I may make some for my own build.

[@brianhensien]
