But if you want a paint for a visible area that will match the vehicle's color, then I recommend buying primer, paint, and clear coat from Dupli-Color in the appropriate color for your vehicle:
Primer: amzn.to/2rp6lN0
Paint: amzn.to/2OPP5sl
Clear-Coat: amzn.to/35Awhnn

I'm 48 so take this with a grain of salt. You are the coolest kid on KZbin

Here I am watching this video for the 20th time. 30 minutes away from cutting a huge hole in my BRAND NEW Transit mid roof. Thanks for the tutorial... you are setting my mind at ease.

[@ZebaKnight]

I'd like to join others below in praising the quality of this video. I won't be doing this job myself, but I enjoyed learning how it is done (and done well). I am now less reluctant to consider putting two fans into a new van, and I might add an extra window. Thanks for making such careful, educational, and engaging videos.

[@slurms7627]

I like the way you say "next"

[@rad7595]

The best vids, by far, diagrams, details, 100% information no extraneous information, sweet! Keep up the good work!

[@tvc380]

You make the best van build videos. Well done!

[@mysteriousnotsoseriousdeb]

Great video! I love the details you include, like being sure to vacuum up the metal shavings. I've seen other vids about fan installs and they basically just slap it in there and move on. The info you're providing is really helpful to someone who has no building skills : ) Thanks!

[@john81065]

I recently decided to sell my Harley to purchase a Transit LWB and convert it as you have. I have been watching sooooo many how-to's but I am wrapped I found your tutorials. Easily, the best by far! Well done mate. You've inspired me; I can't wait to get started.

[@justrobin1234]

Yet another compliment on your clarity in speaking and presentation of these videos. Rather than induce fear in those embarking on such a project, they're actually really reassuring. I note this is the last video in your series, but I really hope you'll be able to add some more at a later date. Thanks for the time and effort you've put in to making them.

[@brose27377]

Really well done. Really like that you explain not just the 'how', but also the 'why'. I think it makes a huge difference!

[@abcdddiia]

You are very thorough, from cleansiness to proper methodology. Very good job!

[@JetP20]

content and quality 100%

[@alant2419]

I was looking at a video where you talked about water entering under side trim. Two UK builders found that the leaks had been there. Some of the drain holes in the cills were blocked and when cleared over a gallon of water drained out of some sections. Not rusty water though

[@davidhoff5008]

Sam - thank you so much for all your videos. These are extremely well done and provide the right level of detail for planning and scoping the materials/work effort for my van build.

[@ConnorFXDB]

solid video Moser! Thank you for the energy put into this video. Solid topic and enjoyed the additional commentary at the end!

[@rhondatippy4879]

Wow, you do great work...very thoughtful and no cutting corners. I love it. Very thorough with video. Excellent!

[@mikemead2315]

Thanks! Great detail! Never saw one of those adapter plates before. Leaving areas big enough (eg 66” x 40” x 2) for large heavy (not portable) solar panels has been the bane of any of my camper designs, and has moved that planning to very early in the process. 500 watts minimum. Large panels cuts the panel cost to 1/2 and less.

[@Thedestressguy]

This video made my day!!! I'm looking to invest in a Ford Transit and install the windows and vents.... and here you are with a very well made, highly detailed video of how to do it. Awesome work and thanks so much for putting this out on the web. We love it! I'm super stoked to get going on my build asap. Now I just gotta find me a van!

[@anotherdooropening3675]

These vids are fantastic w the detail. ty!

[@little_bigadventure3575]

Thank you so much for your videos. They are very informative, professional and helpful.

[@InternetTween]

great video! really love your insight!

[@chrisharriman5245]

Awesome Video! putting two vent fans on top for cross circulation is a great idea also, Wanting solar, so a lot of planning goes into placement of vent fans and solar panel or panels. Love this build series. East Texas here.

[@cathietonkin5577]

Oh my goodness..... I wish I could afford to hire You to build my van!!!!! You really are great at this.... you have the best video’s I’ve watched!!!! My best wishes to you and yours. Happy adventures to you both!!!!

[@Scrambler85]

Excellent work and information and a thumbs up video

[@spielman20]

Thanks for the great vid on instruction and willingness to share your experience. Super helpful!

[@caveman.syndrome]

Dude love the videos! Definitely gonna be my go to when I build my van!

[@cameronfreshwater2439]

Seriously, anxiety drugs have nothing on your teaching skills. My anxiety has been over the top since buying our van but you have helped alleviate so many fears.

[@LD1911]

Very clean install. Good work!

[@jpmorgan187]

Excellent videos.

[@Gorgeousbronze1]

Awwww bye Sam. Enjoyed your stuff man

[@fuckooooooooooooo]

nothing like making it 10x more complicated then needed

[@timw4369]

just put a bag underneath and it will catch all the shavings as well as the metal from the roof

[@pintorthepintor3964]

More Vids Moser, Please. :D

[@jaisrita1212]

Great video once again. Thanks. I'm looking for the right windows to buy and install so lots of questions...how is your window holding up? Any movement, vibration, leaks? It looked like it sat in with only a few screws? Is there any need for a wood support behind? Can it be opened easy from the outside or is it secure? Lastly how is the sealing tape holding up..any leaks? thanks

[@oddopops1327]

👋😊

[@LifeOfBD]

I thought when installing the fan, you would need to build your roof frame first so the fan would be screwed onto the frame inside?

[@TravisCorriher]

Curious if you did any research on having a CO detector in addition to a CO2 detector? Having difficulty finding good sources online about it, but most RV's seem to have both.

[@Nowindresistance]

Can you install the fan off centre? Or does that mess up the install?

[@alixdacuesta9652]

does the adaptor not come with the fan??

[@guilhermerovida5488]

Hi, where did you get that adaptor from? Thank you!

[@lindaweaver6801]

how wide was the butyl tape you used?

[@packymck]

where did you buy the window?

[@packymck]

opppss.....shoulda looked first

[@jpm000001]

Did the adapter come with the fan?

[@bjbhehir]

No, I found one on eBay

[@cuongdao5359]

Hi Moses, can you please email me, I have some questions regarding installing solar panels and electrical.

[@TheBeaver50]

did he quit making videos?
