This highly motivates me into saving up for a van instead of a small trailer. Youre reasoning on finding a parkingspot made me realise that it's more efficient to van-up than trailer-up. Thanks for your insights on this! My audio-setup is smaller than what you have in your van. So this video fits my needs!

[@SilverCreekAudio]

So stoked to hear that you found the video helpful! A work van is calling your name dude!

[@arguy2021]

Man! I've been waiting for this one! Thanks for the blood, SWEAT, and tears here haha.

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Thanks for waiting dude! Blood, sweat, and tear for real!

[@nathankabat1276]

Goals. Epic gig vehicle, thanks for posting!

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching

[@pascalmerschaudio]

Love it.....great video

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Thanks for watching man!

[@drummahboijosh]

Here's a cool idea idea I did whenever I had to stack cases by myself. Either a sturdy hang point in the ceiling or two crank stands and a piece of truss. Rig up a manual chain hoist with two slings/spansets and you should be good for some effortless rigging. May be a little investment, but you'll save your back doing more solo gigs.

[@drummahboijosh]

And if you use the crank stands and truss idea, it'll be something you can take to gigs where you'll need to stack and unstack cases. Biggest con? It's an extra thing to set up haha

[@SilverCreekAudio]

That's gold! Sounds like fun to just try out and see. Thanks for watching man!

[@drummahboijosh]

@@SilverCreekAudio Anytime man! Love your content and your work 🔥

[@tim_mueller]

At the last company I worked at, we had an electric winch on the ceiling, that we used to stack cases, up to 3 high. And it makes love so much easier. The things are actually quite inexpensive, around 100-200 bucks.

[@drummahboijosh]

@@tim_mueller Same here! I just know that the chain motors can get pricey

[@alexanderheuser7648]

i highly recommend a separation wall from driving compartment to loading space! a cover for bass cabinets :) for small jobs i use tough built rolling bag xl large. for storing your cables i would use a drawer system modular. a system rack with a lot oh 4 he drawers, each in a single system rack. i can build as high as i need the system on the job. no cables on the wall, cause loading takes to long. when you store your tops in a 2 by 2 rack similar to your cable cases, where they are safe, then you only need to stack 2 on top.

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Thanks for the suggestions Alexander! Your setup sounds super organized! You're right, need to get my partition installed. Thanks for watching!

[@keisenb]

This was awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Thanks for checking it out, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Elniniss]

Those rhino straps are amazing!

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Less headaches for sure at the end of the night!

[@DJPHAROAHE]

Totally Awesome System Bro👍👍

[@MichaelNatrin]

Nice setup!

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Thanks man!

[@ZeljkoRacki-wy7tc]

Great video!

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Thanks for watching!

[@JamesSudhalter]

Love the videos, your job seems super fun. Would you ever do a full gear breakdown, and/or a full cost breakdown and earnings, if you wouldn't mind sharing that?

[@SilverCreekAudio]

That's a great idea for another video. Something to look for in the future!

[@SimonSoundServices]

Whats the go to AC temp in the van during a Texas summer? Once I did the Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion I see why this hurt to make. Great video

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Temp goes to Lo and fan speed to high. Unfortunately, it takes quite a while to cool down the van when the temp gets above 100 degrees, but in the winter it's perfect! Thanks for watching man!

[@matthewgatt9484]

What sizes are your XLR & Power cases they look a great size!

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Inside Dimensions: 18.5″H x 22.75″W x 17.5″D and Outside Dimensions: 19.75″H (25″H including casters) x 24.25″W x 19.25″D. Love em!

[@ilsoundop]

Nice van, but for reference the only difference in SOOW and SJOOW is the 600v rating, the jacket is thicker and more oil resistant. SJOOW is a less thick jacket rated at 300 volts. SJOOW is much easier to gaff tape down when needed.

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Spot on about the rating and jacket. SO cable it my preferred choice! Thanks for watching!

[@YetAnotherElectronicsChannel]

Nice van - no questions. However I think you’re still wasting a lot of usable space. You definitely need to get a wall between the storage area and driver/passenger seat. Some other people would load a full line-array system for 5000 people in such a van 😅

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Spot on about the partition and I guess I have room to grow into it! Fan of your channel and thanks for watching!

[@dustinthiessen]

Man, if you think this is easy, just wait till you have your partition in, and you can just truck pack, and throw a couple straps at the back, rather than having to screw around strapping each case to the floor 👍🏼

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Ah, the joys of strapping cases to the floor! Thanks for watching man!

[@RecognizeUS]

Aweosme! lets be friends

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Saw your rig. What a great idea! Keep up the good work man!

[@RecognizeUS]
