The Vanadium: Yet Another ELEMENT Build

[@bradbloomquist]

Super impressive. Well thought out as expected. I wish I could have seen the nitty gritty as you were building it.

[@jedi_knight_tm]

Awesome E, enjoy your journey!

[@bped8790]

That may be the nicest build I've ever seen for an Element and I think I've seen them all. Nice work. The Element community is praying for your remission and good health.

[@UTADV]

Thank you. It's been great on the road.

[@shelbyfz07vtec65]

Very organized and well done.

[@bugizm9150]

Thank you for sharing such a dope build of an element

[@striker17]

Much respect, amazing what you put together. Nothing short of wizardry!

[@papi_josu]

This a super nice build, great job!

[@RhonVanErman]

Great build! Prayers for your remission and enjoy that Element one day at a time!

[@UTADV]

Thank you.

[@jeannebenz]

Thank you! I love your video. I’m buying an Elemnt high miles at 252,0000 and going to set it like yours because it laaeaves good floor space. I am replacing my old Element l 355,000 miles trans went out…will you be going to RTR in January? Seeing your total health return and no more worries! Jeanne

[@UTADV]

Thank you and best of luck in your new E. RTR? We're planning on a meet-up here in the PNW - same thing?

[@billyvanpelt597]

Thank you for the tour of your setup. Love it! Happy Trails to you, and Jack✌️

[@UTADV]

Thanks, and Jack says thanks, too.

[@artat777]

Wow great job. Very clean and clever build. Excellent video

[@trevor656]

Absolutely incredible build and great info. Also very funny comment on Jack not being OCD. God gave you Jack for a reason :)

[@Clickerdude920]

Really nice build and description! Thanks

[@KieraTheStray]

I love you build! The wall cabinets are what I am aiming to do for my Element build. Work in progress!

[@mjmjve]

Live your best life. Love your build.

[@briannichols1586]

Hi Eric.....glad to see you are still at it.....I hope our paths can cross at some point. Enjoy each day as I trust you will. Another awesome build! Super curious about the dash aux instrument cluster thingy.....share details when you can. Brian

[@UTADV]

Brian, thanks. www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGNR8D6Z

[@RobinSnyder-u7e]

Hi Eric, I do like the build and I hope to copy a few things in the future. Right now I have a full platform with drawers. I think its too heavy after seeing what you and others are doing so next year out it will go. Hope I can spring for the swivel seat too. Im glad to hear you are in remission. Been there done that. The bucket list has grown and Im still around. If you find your way up to the Bend OR area, I have parking nd camping spots on my ranch. Stop by, do some laundry, have a meal and let me give Jack some scratches and he can play with my dogs too. Safe travels.

[@UTADV]

Thank you, Robin. Bend is on my list.

[@daricefrost664]

Wow, I really like what all you have done. I'm interested in your fridge bed build, very impressed. Enjoy your new travel life and be safe.

[@UTADV]

Thank you. More details on the fridge install here: corneringcampsites.wordpress.com/2024/08/22/the-bed-insert/

[@BityScro]

What an awesome build! I started following you when I was thinking about a Motorcycle, but now you have landed on one of my favorite things. I am on my 2nd element and thinking about another. Maybe our paths will cross on a Utah journey. Peace.

[@UTADV]

Glad to cover a couple of bases with you.

[@ss31736]

Great video. Love the fact it’s just a video. Nothing over done. Love the build and looks like it’s will do everything. Best of luck with the cancer thing. Enjoy life!

[@thomashuebner2819]

The extension on the open hatches is awesome and fits so well to the element... Brillant idea

[@kevinmiller7184]

What a great walk-thru. I believe you will thoroughly enjoy the build you've created.

[@UTADV]

Thank you. Glad you liked it. I love it so far.

[@herbert8128]

glad you still with us Ive been a victon the the bad a lomg time and every day obove ground is a blessing . hang in there . Im in my 80s and been living in vehicles a lot in my life i hope that my honda turns out to be similar to yours

[@manasseh7]

Love the light set up at 1:10 reminds me of power rangers turbo

[@robertsegura6451]

Just watched your video and it inspires me even more to continue on my Element build out.Safe travels for you and your dog Jack, I look forward to more videos on your build and adventures.

[@sarge27271]

Great build my friend. Kudos! As for 'remission' I wish you the best!! Stay Safe. Cheers

[@charlesparker752]

I really enjoy your build, very functional and well executed. Take care.

[@timaugustine-dirt_trippin]

Nice build! Good luck with your adventures and future endeavors.

[@UTADV]

Thank you.

[@toddblanchard7765]

I needed a new car, after my old lease was up and I found a 2008 Element on FB marketplace. I was also surprised by the cult following in the PNW (so glad that I am within driving distance of some of these places). Anyway, great build, and hope to the Vanadium on the road someday. :)

[@UTADV]

I hope so, too.

[@johnbecay6887]

nice build. very accessible presentation

[@Terirn65]

Wow, if ever down the road you ever sell this Element and the way you have it set up I’d sure be interested in you getting a hold of me. Very nice! Bless you

[@UTADV]

Thank you. That may be sooner than later. Are you in the PNW area?

[@Terirn65]

Las Vegas

[@coreyhealth8523]

Good job man. I'm praying for you.

[@jonathannolan3857]

Love the roof set up.

[@UTADV]

Thanks. More details on the roof can be found here: corneringcampsites.wordpress.com/2024/08/02/aerogenics-roof-rack/

[@tinaslouise]

Really nice build. I wish I had your skills. Thank you for sharing.

[@wendycamp307]

New to your channel. Excited to along on your Journey! 😊

[@UTADV]

Happy to have you along.

[@wendycamp307]

@@UTADV thanks ☺️

[@trevorkinzer7918]

Great video. Positive feelings and love coming your way. We have a dog named Jack as well. Aren't dogs the best? -Trevor and Michelle - Peace from Utah

[@ray32825]

Excellent work! Not only on the build, but also on your presentation/website. Why did you decide to go with that EDHBay fridge instead of an Engel or Dometic?

[@UTADV]

Thanks. I’ve used the EDHBay drawer fridge in a previous build and it performed very well. I’ve have Dometic and ICECO previously, and this fridge matches performance.

[@wendycamp307]

You have a super nice build 😊

[@UTADV]

Thank you.

[@ovmn]

Great build ❤

[@UTADV]

Thank you.

[@oxlabproduction5890]

Hi @UTADV please info on the rear tent please

[@jimschurman1169]

Live your build, i've never been able to get a good answer from those I have asked this question. Maybe you can, with all your add ons do you consider the vehicle top heavy. Also does your engine seem to have an issue handling the extra weight. I've considered the 270 awning but thought it would make the center of gravity one sided.

[@ThePlanet_L.I.]

Dope build

[@voltron5128]

Subbed….excellent job sir!

[@cashcashhsac]

cleanest build

[@riperquader1341]

Hey man the element looks amazing! Can I request get a video breaking down your solar/power system or a couple of links of what solar panel you got going on! I really like how it is set up I might have to try to Chinese blueprint it too mine hahah! Thank you!

[@UTADV]

The battery system is an EcoFlow River Pro Solar Generator. I picked it up during Amazon Days. What I didn't anticipate was spending a lot of time in the PNW where I've depended more on 12V charging. us.ecoflow.com/products/river-2-pro-portable-power-station

[@richshipley]

Hey Eric, I love this update a lot. I'm curious about whether you have a toilet setup for your current adventures?

[@UTADV]

I do. I have a folding toilet seat (three legs) sourced form Sportsmans' along with a bag containment and chemical system.

[@edtam268]

Hi, nice build. Did you reupholster the driver seat or is it a cover?

[@UTADV]

Thanks. It's the stock upholstery.

[@DavidTucker-x7z]

Awesome build! I like it a lot. If you don’t mind me asking. What fridge and data device on the dash are you using?

[@UTADV]

This gets into the fridge: corneringcampsites.wordpress.com/2024/08/22/the-bed-insert/

[@UTADV]

And this is the inclinometer: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGNR8D6Z

[@foxbodcom7993]

Watching the video. Wow so nice. I'm doing something similar.

[@UTADV]

Thank you. Love to see it.

[@ericplatt4685]

Sweeeet!!!

[@UTADV]

Thanks, Eric.

[@felipevidal2000]

Is it possible to buy the plans to build this ?

[@UTADV]

You’d have to download my head, which wouldn’t recommend.

[@pnw_element9822]

Very nice 👍🏽

[@UTADV]

Thank you.

[@Terirn65]

I’m in Las Vegas

Wow prayers to you. Amazing our vision with the vehicle and a point in our lives as we travel. 🙏

Great build, eat low carbs. Eat meat, follow Dr Shawn Baker MD.

[@gotredeemed]

Very nice, looks functional and comfortable. I asked God to heal my cancer and He did. I hope you'll ask. Hang in there.

[@allowmi]

For Honda to discontinue the Element in light of the enthusiasts, the mods, the utility, the FUN and the ADVENTURES is nearly crimminal. This vehicle is a whole market sector in itself. HONDA - listen up. It's not too late to pick up where you left off and wow the world again. Are you listening?

[@spritsfal5088]

Had to let go of ocd cuz the dog isn't ocd 🤣
