hi, I liked the tour, but was wondering what you use for a shower and bathroom facilities??
@KayaLindsay
@KayaLindsay 7 жыл бұрын
Not having a shower or a bathroom is actually much less of a big deal than people think. I can either go outside if I'm in nature to use the bathroom, or I can find a gas station/coffee shop/friends house. And if I need to shower I can either jump in a lake/river when I'm outside, or I can use a gym/rec center/friends house/baby wipes/beach shower/wash cloth shower to actually get my whole body clean. It's not as big of an issue as people think!

thanks for responding....I was homeless for awhile, so I can relate...I lived in a small ⛺ in the woods and used a handicapped stall/with sink at a local supermarket to clean up everyday (head to toe) and put on clean clothes, so effective that no one would actually know I was homeless and living in the woods...good luck in your travels and please be careful!!

Everyone talks about the Mr. Buddy heaters but the best for a van your size would be a Coleman Black Cat. It takes much less propane and storage space than the Little Buddy heater and on low will give you 2 nights where the Little Buddy on low doesn't make it a whole night . All catalytic heaters eat oxygen so having window or vent cracked is a must. Happy trails.

I've just bought a Fiat Ducato van for conversion and I was investigating heating options for some time now. It looks like Mr Buddy type heaters (propane ones) inevitably increase humidity in the van - it's just chemistry, there's nothing you can do about it. So a much, much better option would be a diesel heater - webasto is the company name to look for. It takes fresh air from outside, heats it using diesel fuel (from your van's fuel tank), throws the exhaust out. So you get highly effective, warm and dry fresh air into the van and no problems with buying fuel. Lookup the product comparison on Bayward YT channel - it's the best explanation and review I've found.

assuming your Sprinter runs on diesel, I would recommend a diesel heater as a heating solution. They tap into the main fuel tank for convenience, you can mount them under the vehicle so they consume air from outside, exhaust to outside and flow only the heated air into the van. It's what I will be using when I do my van build (I currently live in a Bow top wagon with a wood burner). They use only a nominal amount of 12v power. Propane versions are also available. No issues with creating damp air in the van or consuming all your oxygen.

For heat I would suggest the Webasto or Espar. Both use fuel from your fuel tank so never need to worry about an additional fuel source. Nice, warm, dry heat. However, there is fan noise but it's minimal. Buddy heaters put out enough heat but as others mentioned, they put a lot of moisture inside the van. A great choice for propane heat that is better than others in that it exhausts to the outside, so no moisture issues. It's also completely silent. It's called the Platinum Cat. You can Google it. The guy is a complete flake to deal with but it's the best propane for small spaces. I hope that helps!

On your next trip through WA, the 350 mile+/- loop around the Olympic Mountain Range is worth the research. From I-5 in Olympia, you can choose to travel clockwise or counter-clockwise. Either way you'll see Ocean Shores, Hurricane Ridge, and over 200 miles of open-ocean and inland salt water beaches as well as lakes. There's a sand spit near Sequim where you can walk for miles out into the strait. Or even a ferry ride from Port Angeles to Victoria, B.C. to see the gardens and enjoy the panoramic veiw of the mountains from the water. Along the way there is also no shortage of Native casinos with great buffets. LOL This drive is best from May-Oct. Winter and Spring wind and road conditions in that area can be flooded, frozen, or even completely buried.

Hi Kaya Your pump makes so loud noise because you have attached it to a thin woodpanel that functions as the membrane of a loudspeaker - try to attach it to i.e.. the topboard, which is thicker with som noise reduction material between or even better - let it hang loose in some kind of harness just some thoughts ;-)

The hose is not rigged enough for one. The pump is the real issue. As it has to prime the system each time. They make none feed back pumps with valves in them. To prevent the water from flowing back to the pump. When it's turned off. This prevents most of the noise. One reason some pumps cost $100.00. You get what you pay for..

Hi Kaya, A Little Buddy is okay but it is a red flame heater that needs ventilation. A propane gas blue flame is a lot more healthier and very little ventilation required for about the same cost on Amazon or Ebay. Or for the best is a Mini Furnace for they are self ventilated and run on Propane Gas, Gasoline or Diesel. Webasto Air Top Heater is one of the most popular ones that I have used and are easy to install almost anywhere you want with a little mechanical ability.

That's one big overkill water pump for only one tap! You could mount it under the vans floor so the noise is not that loud inside, or make a foam insulated enclosure for it, which works pretty well.. or both :-) Also, make sure the pump is mounted in flexible rubber, so your cabinets don't resonate when the pump is on. Nice van!

If the other suggestions do not reduce water pump noise enough, relocate it many feet away to where the noise is muffled and the pump is not exposed to freezing temps, or try a Sureflow pump. These pumps are fairly quiet and operated by a pressure switch, and water is delivered when the tap is open, just like at home. I like water, so I installed a 55 gallon drum under a table. Stand the barrel up and the foot print is not large. This gives me 7 gallons per day for a week. A 30 or 20 gallon barrel would be better for you. Having more water will give you more freedom.

heating solution ? Find a webasto type Z or C heater unit and get the little fuel pump and wiring loom with it. This device will plumb into the coolant system of the engine, it will enable you to use the standard vehicle heater. Look into it... It works great and if you can find a used one usually not very expensive... good luck. PS: Webasto also has a air heater but I would try to find a water based version (more common at least) and you can use the heater to (also) heat water using a modified undersink (close-in) boiler (change out the electric heater coil with a copper coil which gets plumbed into the cooling system like the webasto.

Lil buddy heaters are a good option. They are cheap and reliable. Downside is if your using small bottles they go threw about 5 cans ever 4 or 5 hours. you really need a larger external tank for them to be efficient cost wise. But they are a great option for a quick fix and they heat up real hot.

I'd highly recommend one of the diesel heaters for van heat. I installed an Espar D2 in mine (and did an extensive DIY blog post about it if interested), but Webasto is good as well. Big investment, but worth it. Makes winter camping in the snow easy, with no combustion inside the van. Others have camped down to -25F with them and had it be 60+ inside. Personally, I wouldn't run a propane heater inside. CO- carbon monoxide binds with your red blood cells something like 320 times more readily than oxygen. The whole notion of "crack a window" isn't sufficient (besides defeating the purpose of heating the van). Enjoy your vids and I-gram pics!

Hey Kaya! Nice rig. Very similar to my 2004. I've built mine out with an emphasis on winter camping and thus heat is important. I converted my heater booster (Espar Hydronic heater, fueled by your diesel tank) which came with the sprinter from Germany. Not all 2004 - 2006 Sprinters have the booster. If yours has the heater booster you will have squigly identifier between the AC button and the REST button in the center console. Mercedes had to conform to some regulations which only allowed the heater to work with the engine running. Some guys on the sprinter source forum figured out how to hack it and get it to work with the engine off. But, the way it's outlined on the forum is not right from an electrical engineering perspective and could have some negative impacts on the electrical not to mention it is kind of dangerous. Having a background in electronics, I designed it properly and I LOVE my engine off diesel heater. It also acts as an engine pre heater. In Idaho this winter I was having some house battery issues thus my heater wasn't working, the temps got down to -25 F, and my diesel lines froze up. If my heater would have been working , I would have had no issues in those temps. I'm based in the San Francisco Bay Area and am always up for networking with other Sprinter owners and can outline how to properly turn your Heater Booster into a fully functional heater for your van. Feel free to hit me up.

Espar diesel heater is the best and most efficient heater for a diesel vehicle. It uses the diesel fuel from your tank and is very efficient. It is a more expensive option and may require more of a professional installation but it is worth it if you need heat often.

The fridge blue light looks like a UV light - Used to kill bacteria and prolong the life off perishable foods further than just cooling alone.

Destinations? The Vortex, Dammeron Valley, Utah. Great hiking and rock climbing opportunities. Boondocking.

Instant Mass Heater - Heat your cast iron up and see how nicely it radiates. A sock full of pennies used to sit in the pan and absorb heat can go to bed with you. Pennies nowadays are not copper, smooth river rocks would work. Conducted heat is the best heat

The cabinets and paneling were done by me and Michael, and the countertop we took to a friends cabinet shop where he sanded and finished it for us. Check here for details! www.onechicktravels.com/blog/sprinter-van-conversion-total-cost

put mounting bolts through rubber or neoprene sandwiched between the pump and mounting surface. that will quiet your pump.

For heat if you can find room you can get a tiny pellet stove ☺️

You could use air pressure (either from a tire inflation hose at the gas station or a bicycle style pump) to pressurize your water system. You could even go very hi tech and install a small gas cilinder and a pressure regulator (possibly a diving tank) which could be used to pressurize your system and will allow for mucho water flow (about 200 times the rated content of the cilinder)

Haha that would be something. I have a friend who's a scuba diver... she could hook me up with a regulator for sure!

Portable viewing. Connect your phone to the vehicle sound system through Bluetooth and then watch the image on the (portable) projector. You do this buy getting a usb c or micro usb to hdmi cable adaptor (google it they are about $30) and you have amazing portable cinema. Give it a try.
