Will’s Whereabouts

Күн бұрын

In today's video I start to add more personal touches and details to my tiny home on wheels which is a medium wheelbase Fiat Ducato camper van. Since making the van feel more my own I've absolutely loved spending time in it and it's beginning to feel like home.

black electrical tape should cover the usb charging lights, you only need to cut out some small squares or even circles. Why didn't you paint the van bulge with the same paint colour, you did the walls with(behind fruit net). Will(question not your name!) you need No Nails to put up the thicker rope as the staple gun may not be big enough. just suggestions mate.

For the LED cover up... I have used car paint touch up paint. Similar but different than nail colors. The automotive paint adheres well and dries quickly. Get black and give that a try. Using tape wont last, it will peel in the heat of summer. Also, if ordering DC usb sockets in the future be sure to get red indicators. Red is much easier for nighttime viewing and sleeping. Blue sucks!

Maybe get a string of tiny Christmas lights that has a color changing remote to put along the new greenery above the back door. Black electric tape has covered so many unwanted lights and gauges. Or take the charging unit out and disconnect that little blue light. You have done a great job making the van more like home. Thanks for sharing and have a grand day.

A simple way to cover annoying LED is a tape, not pain or ink. Black electric tape or duct tape is a good way to start you might need two-layer. Even if the final color should not be back you should start with that because it is better for blocking light. I have tried to cover a LED with white tape and even with multiple layers light did get through. I ended up with black tape to block the light and white tape on top for the color. You can glue a bit of paper or anything else on the tape for better color matching It might not look the best and can fall off but it is simple and works. The temporary nature can be an advantage if you ever need to know if the led is on or off if there is some problem you need to diagnose.

Keeping it even simpler …USB light…if you can get to the wiring of that socket, ie pull it out or unscrew the mounting plate, it should have 3 pins, possibly…..depending on how it is wired up, you could by trial and error, ( ok Will, you only have 2 attempts, ) try pull one of the red wires and see if that just controls the light. There should be 2 red wires, try those two. You will also have a black wire, it won’t be that.

you can try either changing the way you wire the usb socket or you can cover it with a little bit of black pvc insulation tape.

For the LED lights being an issue either black insulation tape or even the fluffy side of the velcro cut to size stuck on will do the trick.

Black vinyl. Will block the light out. Or buy some black dots. Also your sink. Put a a brace under the sink tap. Basically a piece of wood. With the hope drilled out for the tap. And fix to the unit either side this will stop the issue.. because the flex in the sink with vibration etc this will reduce it ..

You can buy vinyl small circles that are used to block cameras on phones and laptops. They would work great on the leds

Like you, I prefer to sleep in absolute darkness. I use small pieces of black electrical tape (cut to fit) to cover the lights of certain devices that remain on at night (like my modem for example). It works perfectly, and is easily removable if/when necessary.

As for your floor cabinet build a double drawer that pulls out from the end not the front then you could put shoes or what ever standing outside if you want It wont take up room as if you pull drawers out by your bed

Idea for the back door. You could put a cork board and add post cards/ pictures of your travels 👍🏻

Haha, I had the same problem with blue LED, I just used a small piece of 'gaffer tape' as we call it in South Africa, after 5 years now it is still holding up, zero light at night.

I recommend velcroing a white board to jot down goals or a map to pinpoint where you have been!! All the best, love the videos

Me and my wife have been watching your videos since you started the conversion. You have made us laugh at the silly mistakes you make. I thought, if he can do it so can I. So I've bought a do er upa. After seeing you struggling with your mental health, it's really lovely to see you making your van a home. All the best mate. Hope to see you on the road someday.

Ooh just another thought on the space on the back door. How about a large Cork pin board. Then you can add a map and pin all your adventures along with any memorabilia bits or pics along the way 😃

Electrical/duct tape for the LED's, some loctite for the tap, and the current accepted term is cross dressers, although, you don't have to be a cross dresser to wear nail varnish!
