What would I like to see in my van? | BIG IDEAS ON THE ROAD

[@prizantsproducts4u]

Suggestion: Go COMPOST toilet! It is not hard to do - does not smell if you do it right. Read all about it, use animal cedar bedding chips, or the Coco moss, or even kitty litter (but if you want biodegradable, I don't really condone using that). For washing dishes etc. spray with vinegar water, then wipe off excess food etc with a paper towel (you will need rolls of towels for this way, but saves Lots of water) Then spray again with vinegar water, and wipe clean and dry with a cloth dish towel. Doing just these 2 things do not use much water and are easy to maintain. Traveling mercies to you - good luck and God bless!

[@DavidHuffTexas]

I'd definitely watch a series where you build out a van from scratch!

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you, David! Hopefully, all this interest will help me get a new Sprinter!

[@tammieconnerystephens2379]

One thousand percent YES!!!! There is no end to your creativeness and humor. I am so on board!

[@LostOnLandAgain]

Not altering the van much.. Just the sink, counter, water, generator LOL This should be an interesting winter build!

[@David-rx2to]

I'd love to watch you build a van! I'm sure it would be a unique build. Cool B&W on this video...something about B&W...so classy. Get a composting toilet and you won't have to worry about flushing and black tanks...perhaps you could then remove the black tank and replace it with an additional fresh water storage tank? Anyway, I have a takeaway from another video I watched recently...solar up top is all well and good, but make sure you have some additional solar panels on 50 foot cables. Parking the van in the shade is good for your comfort, but does nothing for the panels on the roof. So, park in the shade and move a couple panels out in the sun...adjust the angles and direction of the panels a couple times a day for maximum efficiency.

[@HumbleRoad]

Good advice, David. Thank you.

[@Soxandnicole]

There are a lot of van dweller videos out there but I must say that yours stands out. You're editing and your personality put together, what can I say, are fun and unique just like you. I'd be very interested if following your winter project. We converted a conversion van a while back. Just like you we are doing the odd trips here and there. There are 2 thinks that I'm glad we did on it; a swiveling counter top and a partially retractable board that easily convert the bed into a coach. Actually there are 3 things, the mosquitos screen works very well too. Pictures are better than words. I'll put a link up of the steps we took to convert "Precious". I lied again, I'll put 2 links. Short version has 26 photos and comments and the long version with over 100 photos (tediously detailed) and comments. So let's see if it works. I just noticed, probably everyone else knows that already but after I clicked on the photo I had to click on the white round icon with the letter 'i' in it to access the comments. 26 Photos goo.gl/photos/unBbXyZBRkZ6S43v9 and the 140 photos version. goo.gl/photos/hqguR9cNU2SVnm5V7 Again it would be so cool following you converting a van. Take care Nicole

[@HumbleRoad]

You did a great job on Precious, Nicole! I like the way you think. Well done!

[@bigg5208]

Why not use a second high output alternator on the engine to provide lots of amps at 12 volts to charge batteries and run all appliances,including a 12v AC unit. Running the engine while parked won't hurt it. It's quite,clean and efficient. No worries of cloudy days or snow covering solar panels. No generator required. Install 4 or 6 AMG batteries along with the appropriate control system. Saves big bucks over lithium and less weight. The high output alternator will charge the batteries at lightning speed as compared to an array of solar panels. Also, I think you may already do this however, if not, install a marine electric hot water heater that offers a heat exchanger built in to it and also connect it in series with a heater hose off the engine. Both of these suggestions will take advantage of the engine when cruising and at idle when needed. Plenty of electrical power and hot water by just driving down the road. I believe the Coachman Galleria class B offers this set up. At least they did a couple of years ago. This is used a lot in European builds. What am I missing as it seems to make good sense and is economical? Love your channel. Where are you located?

[@christywilson694]

I'm three years too late, but glad the fans encouraged you to build on!

[@notsunkyet]

Most definitely will watch, you're an awesome film maker, have great ideas, know how to tell a story, and know your way around a work shop. What's not to love! So, whatcha waitin' for? Where's episode 1? Thanks for sharing!

[@angelikaszabo1962]

I think that would be a great idea! You should also insulate it! There are so many ideas out there but not sure which one is the best way to spend my money! You get through all the..."This way is better", no "That way is better" type of videos that are out there! And, then your head just spins! You seem like a very thorough person who does his research and takes it slowly, one step at a time. You also give slow and detailed directions, and for some of us we need that! Hahaha! You go for it! I'm totally here for you with that project!

[@waynewolfe3514]

Yep.....2 thumbs up on the conversion project!

[@daveparis339]

Okay, we're hooked. My wife and I are thoroughly enjoying your professionally shot series. We've watched them all. We own a 2009 Leisure Travel with the same layout as your van. The first day I had it I stripped all of the decals and logos off of it. I surprised my wife a month ago when I came home from "The Depot" with all of the stuff for the cab overhead shelf. I literally watched your video in the store as my shopping list. I came home and two hours later I had a shelf. I put pipe insulator on the aft of the shelf. We love it. Thank you VERY much. Last week I installed your rear window lace cafe' rod/curtain assembly (BTW - we found the exact same curtains accidentally, and yeah, they happen to be the best). We love it. I also installed a headboard over the back sofa that has a removable middle section for sleeping and allowing the projector screen to fully extract. It also doubles to keep our cat out of the storage area. Keep the videos coming. Thank you for all of your hard work. "Think Inside the Box" is amazing. Thanks again! Happy travels!

[@HumbleRoad]

Dave, you have no idea how this makes me feel! I am so happy that you and your wife could relate and be inspired by these videos of mine! I personally have a ton of stuff stored on my overhead cab shelf and every time I look at it I shake my head and say "Oh Good Lord! that was such a simple idea!" And just wait for that morning sun to come streaming through those lace curtains and cast such a beautiful shadow across the inside of your van. It is a very special treat. Thank you for your kind words and support, I intend on keeping you interested.

[@HumbleRoad]

And could you in some way tell me about this projector and screen you speak of? I will be incorporating such a feature in my upcoming van build. You beat me to the punch, you rascal!

[@daveparis339]

Thank so much. The happiness is all ours. You are quite the entertainer and we really enjoy your story telling. Super engaging! You are very talented!! Yes, absolutely, I am very happy to share about the projector, and other stuff too, like my Kodiak Lithium Ion battery packs, my solar panels, my induction cook tops, etc.. We are trying to avoid use of the generator and propane stove as much as possible. As far as the Projector, it's an Optoma Pico. Mine is the size of a deck of cards. You need to find one that puts out enough lumins. The projector mount is "V LED Warehouse Universal Extendable Video Projector Ceiling/Wall Mount Bracket with Adjustable Height" available on Amazon. I found a way to mount the flat thin metal base using available vent screw holes in ceiling. That portion stays installed at all times. The pole portion is a "put it up when you use it and take it down when you're done" affair for me at this time. The base stays attached to the ceiling and then I just screw in the post and projector to use. It takes 5 minutes to set up each time you use it, but it's worth it. You could improve upon this by having a newer Pico projector permanently mounted to the ceiling. If you do this, you'll need to get a projector that has keystone adjustment or one that automatically adjusts the image for squareness on the screen, since your projector will be at ceiling height. The screen at back is a simple black framed manual pull down Da-Lite with off-white screen for a 50" diagonal image. We really enjoy watching movies on it. BTW -- I took out the original television and mount within the first week of owning the van because I like that space to sit (and heck, it's also weight reduction to get rid of it). Not sure how to contact you directly, but happy to share additional learnings we've had. Take care!

[@HumbleRoad]

Thanks, Dave. Much appreciated. I just began building the HumbleRoad.TV website. It's not much at this point, but at least it's on line. Go there for blog and contact info. www.humbleroad.tv

[@edrudder2148]

Looking forward to seeing the mods. The quality of workmanship I'm sure will be excellent

[@janbeckham6222]

Your video editing and commentary as well as eye for detail would make a video series on a van built exciting and informative. Please do let us in on your adventure!!

[@pegb856]

I think the van build would be a great idea but build it exactly like you want and sell the one you have. There would be nothing more gratifying that people ooohing and ahhing over your van that you designed and built yourself. BTW, I love your videos. Informative and funny. Score!

[@qty1ok952]

I'm on board for the new van videos. Enjoy all your videos so far. Can't wait for the next one. Keep them coming.

[@sharinova2941]

Yes, please. Not only are your ideas great, the time and effort you put into your videos is terrific!

[@keithb3178]

great idea using gray water to flush

[@vonmikeore]

Thumbs up! Do the conversion, I can't wait!

[@sobodon]

Do it. I thought about adding a carrier on the rear hitch. Place two 25 gallon tanks one for fresh water one for grey water. Place one on top of other for weight distribution. 200 lbs max. Because only one full at a time. Add 12v pumps and hose.. done.

[@rosev.4463]

I'm so excited to see both these projects fly. Exactly what I need as I prepare for my retirement in two years ;)

[@billbaxter2914]

Sounds like lots of fun work ahead. Well maybe mostly fun. Go for it.

[@candlesbyvictoria]

you are a smart man.. I voted and yes I would watch every single episode! I was happy to see a new video from you as well!

[@marthamanigross]

Yes!!! I have been telling Hubs that is exactly what I would do - if we had the know how! I want to see you do this! Great ideas.

[@livingthepostcardlife811]

I absolutely enjoy you schtick (comedy that is). I look forward to relaxing as you slave away to entertain us LOL. You can be Jerry I’ll be Dean. Be well my friend

[@HumbleRoad]

Ahhh, Jerry and Dean! What a reference! Those were the days :-)

[@rubyyw3230]

I would watch the Sprinter build. I enjoy what you do and your personality.

[@lauracrowley6948]

I know what I will be doing this winter.... Watching you!!!

[@cynful19]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? With all of your experience from Class A and ONLY Class B now, YES! Solsr panels, AGM batteries, induction cook top, efficient fridge, more water capacity, big sink, kitchen on the patio side with windows, screen doors, smart configuration, I AM INTERESTED. Can't wait for you to implement your ideas on a blank 170 high top canvas! Thanks George. : )

[@HumbleRoad]

I'm just about ready to begin!

[@judyjudyjudy9593]

Your ideas are incredible! I would also get rid of the gas, I feel it is unnecessary danger to be hauling around & living with on a daily basis! The use of the grey water...awesome! I thought your cooking was fun, just for the record! You gave me the impression you no longer maintain a home (other than the van), if that is true, where will you build the van? Will we ever meet June? You have a beautiful family! Love the way you talk to the camera like you do! I've only seen, the way you do it, in movies! Also the b & w on this video was so different, interesting & slightly refreshing! Totally different! Loved it!!!! All in all I find your channel very, very enjoyable to watch! LOL Judie different than anyone else I've watch!!! Again, love it!!

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you for your sentiment, Judie! We still have a HUGE six bedroom farm victorian house on the main road through town. It's getting close to the time we sell and downsize into a much simpler life. I would like to leave on New Years Day and travel full time, shooting video the whole time, until mid-June, then come back to NJ for the Summer through Christmas, then New Years Day- off we go again! I truly appreciate your kind words, thank you for watching! Geo.

[@janicehaas2979]

I would love to see the build out you do in any van! You have a good mind for what is needed in a van. I would be interested in buying it when you are done if the price is right.

[@Bartmans_Garage]

Heck yes I would watch that. I’m really considering getting a sprinter and use it for a daily driver to and from work but also do a mild build out on it for vacationing and occasional camping.

[@marilyngould4381]

Love your videos, music and your accent makes me smile. I'm in France but hope to buy an RV next year to tour around the U.S for a year. Love your tips and cooking classes. Xx

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you for your kind words, Marilyn!

[@elainemcnary625]

another great video. You’re a natural.

[@Pauljohn696969]

Great idea... love to watch you build what most of us can only dream.

[@Jollyprez]

Check out Advanced RV videos - they explain a lot of their choices in equipment. One particular one is the engine generator they use that replaces a separate Onan.

[@timothyames8385]

Would love to see you build a unit!

[@Siman727]

Please do it! I would love to see your brilliant design & ideas!! If we used a cargo van, you won’t have windows by the awning area unless if you create new windows! Ouch!! :) From using the gray water to flush is such a great idea and I can’t believe why no manufacturer has thought about it??

[@HumbleRoad]

Yes, I would start with a cargo van and cut in the appropriate windows. It's only scary the first time... I can't imagine no one has thought of using grey water to flush, must be something terribly wrong with the idea, right? I am going to try it and I'll let you know how it works out.

[@pmmurf101]

Absolutely interested in watching that!

[@bonniejo5246]

Yep. Do it. We'll be watching.

[@MiroAcronymity]

Course I'm interested in a van conversion! See some of those ideas you have :)

[@christinesutton6507]

Yes, would love to see the new build. I like your thoughts so far!

[@tami0627]

Absolutely love your videos! Most informative, humorous and the best editing.

[@NJ-Cathie]

Love this video. This is the NJ no one ever sees. Please don’t let the best kept secret out. We don’t want NJ invaded.

[@leahanderson7926]

Love your videos! I'm not even an RV / van person, but you make it sound so interesting! Great job!!!! Keep up the good work and keep posting videos!!

[@lc5114]

So glad I found your channel! Exciting times ahead...can't wait to see what you will do with the modifications with what you have now and what you might be building out. Wow!

[@theresapodrebarac-kc5132]

George, you are hilarious! I just found your videos today and I love your zest for life and all the ways you hydrate. I truly hope you build out the Sprinter van. I can only imagine how great that would be. Do it!

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you, Theresa. I'm editing a new video right now. Has to do with one of the topics in the driving talk.

[@MysouthwestTV]

Hi George, I am super impressed with the content and production value of your videos a true story teller in pictures. Keep it up. Thanks Geoff

[@HumbleRoad]

Thanks, Geoff! I really appreciate it!

[@shirjoin]

I can’t wait to see what you do with both vans. Were you really driving? You are so sneaky with your filming (in a good way).

[@kabzak]

Glad you posted a new video. Love your channel. My wife and I started our own build out of a van. Looking forward to your build out so I can learn new ideas and perhaps borrow one or two. Take care.

[@vickyvango634]

You've got some great ideas. I'll be watching to see how it all plays out.

[@janicepeck4828]

Heck yes,do it. Love your videos humble man. Great sence of humor. Safe travels from OK.

[@jdunnigan6893]

Hey Chip! We'd watch anything you produce! What better way to make it through the winter . . . While on our boat!

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you! The PW Family is a tight one. That I can see!

[@KathrynFritze]

Yep I'm all in!

[@energymaven]

You nailed it dude! We have a 2018 PW ascent, has solar, great screens, but would love induction cook top and condenser frig.

[@ivorybigsis]

I am a new Subcriber. You are so interesting, so knowledgeable, and so much FUN. I want to RV, but hubby does not... (frown)...Your rig is phenomenal. You are so thoughtfully organized, Sir!....Looking forward to your videos, and I wish you nothing but peace and wellness!

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you, Amy. Get Hubby to watch, maybe we can bring him around!

[@noreenn6976]

Count me in, just subscribed!

[@jamesfrazier9282]

Love your channel!!! Just found it a couple of weeks ago!! Very professional!!! Love ALL your ideas!! I am going to incorporate all of them into my van when i get it!!

[@prizantsproducts4u]

YAY! I love van build outs!! YES YES, DO IT DO IT!!! ;)

[@kathywehmeyer55]

Sounds like what I'd be looking for!

[@louseira]

Your channel is great. And you give us good ideas and all it's very well explained. Thanks.

[@themartinblairproject]

Yes please do it. I am a brand new subscriber and now going on a YT video watching binge viewing all of your videos :) Cheers from Western Canada

[@HumbleRoad]

Thanks Martin! Don't forget to get up every once in a while to stretch your legs... ;-)

[@rosm6621]

Love your videos and excited for your mods and new projects. Do it all!

[@toosexy4mycat]

Sprinter 3500... I want to do one too. Love the quality of your videos, you just got a new fan.

[@HumbleRoad]

Welcome! I've got at least one Sprinter build in me, but because of the various floorplans in my head, I might do two at once!

[@toosexy4mycat]

My plan is to buy a lightly used Sprinter 3500 with windows. From there I want to do my own version of the $175,000 Airstream Interstate. Same quality finish. On the driver side, a table and 2 seat behind the driver, like the Winnebago Travato. Next a tall 12 volt fridge with convection microwave on top. I know you don’t use microwave. Then a 6’´wide x 4’ tall pull out pantry. Next the bathroom with shower. Casette toilet with opening outside. No black tank. In the back, a permanent bed. On the passenger, the kitchen counter with a big sink like you, induction cooktop, one pull out cabinet with the trash can and the paper towel. No propane, solar power, Espar diesel heather and water heather, Coleman Mark 10 a/c. I want a tv on the back of the kitchen cabinet that you can see from sitting outside when the sliding door is open. TV antenna, two fantastic fans etc etc

[@HumbleRoad]

I can picture it, Claude. Sounds like you've given it some thought.

[@opalcoastal-ld5kd]

Yes! Build it! Can't wait!

[@bobcopeland9692]

I can’t wait for you to start!!!

[@zitazoo]

I love to see you do it George!

[@TerryManitoba]

I was going to buy a used B-class RV - use it - then figure out what I really wanted!! What I ended up doing was buy a new 250 Transit van (mid roof, mid hight). I threw it together to a point where it is liveable and design from there. I think for me it is the way to go. So what ever you end up doing your input is of value. The larger sink suggestion is "gold". Can't wait to see which one you get and I will probably do the same. THX

[@HumbleRoad]

Smart move. Best way (for me) to understand what works and what doesn't, is to get out there and live with it! I'm searching sinks on Amazon right now!

[@TerryManitoba]

I just made and executive decision and hoped it would work. Living in it is the best way. I figure it will be a good year till the van is 95% done. To be a realist the last 5% may never get done!! BTW how wide is the counter were the sink is (20-24" wide?) And do you want a sink that fill in most of that width?

[@TerryManitoba]

Found a 15*17 sink on Amazon - you figure would this be to big?www.amazon.com/dp/B01AFSJ8I6/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I25A068KXQRKWS&colid=T9HCDXX61NB4

[@HumbleRoad]

Funny you would post this now. After an exhaustive search, I just ordered a sink last night! I did some careful measuring and this baby is about as big as you could go with the cabinet box in a 2011 TS. I did not want to start cutting the cabinets and as it turns out, I can just enlarge the existing sink hole in the countertop and drop this in from the top (even though it is an undercount style). Keep it as simple as possible! www.faucetdirect.com/elkay-ectru12179-13-1-2-undermount-single-basin-18-gauge-stainless-steel-kitchen-sink-with-sound-guard-and-lifetime-warranty/p2302476?CAWELAID=120135430001928382&source=gg_!c959162366!a51705855350!k!m!p1o5!dc!ng!f&cvosrc=ppc.google.&cvo_cid=959162366&cvo_crid=227818574137&matchtype=&cvo_adgroup=51705855350&gclid=CjwKCAjw4KvPBRBeEiwAIqCB-SaMPt5ncPa-KKsGAX1ajDH1k1OEgTbOirx04DYobfWUZdChJN5mXRoC7oQQAvD_BwE

THX - So 12*17*9 deep " Would you have gone larger if you did not have the constrains of existing cabinetry? - I have not built my cabinets yet..

[@reohtz4878]

I'm so glad that I hit upon your video of the class B galley video tour. I have to say that of ALL the KZbin RV vlogs, yours is by far the best! I'm looking to live full time in a class C or class B and you've perked my interest for sure. Your production value all the way down to your voice and use of humor are just top notch. Thank you ever so much!!!

[@HumbleRoad]

Wow! Thank you, Richard for such a glowing review. I truly appreciate you taking the time to say so. I am embarking on a series dedicated to the wants, needs and what to stay away from with regard to Class B vans. Keep a sharp eye out, subscribe!

[@cyrilignatiuskendrick6663]

Such a nice way to travel!

[@annmcwilliams1230]

You got to do it really enjoy your vlogs. Would love to watch a build out. My RV is old but (perfectly formed) 😂 but get great tips. From you.

[@lindacrowley1405]

Love the idea...can I be your helper..love the way you think

[@CarlosBenjamin]

I’d watch.

[@ecklar123]

One idea for extra water storage would be 7 Gallon Aqua-Tainer jugs. They cost about $19.95 at BassPro or $17.60 if you go the EBay route or for a little more you can find them at Walmart. They are square and can be stacked. They come with a screw cap AND a hidden spigot! You could stack a couple in your wet bath and maybe move them to dead storage drivers seat while camping. Also, would love to see a new van build out. What year is your current RV? Did you buy it new?

[@HumbleRoad]

Good suggestion. Mine is a 2011 which I bought used.

[@geert0202]

Please reserve me a place on the front row middle section!!

[@GoodCybrations]

I love your ideas! and you always make me smile, giggle, think..be creative.Thanks

[@katbrown9823]

Hi! Pleeeeeaze share your screen idea!!!! And yes, can't wait for the van conversion. What's next on the list?

[@HumbleRoad]

:-)

[@okcjoesos]

I’ve been playing around with the idea doing away with a black tank altogether and having 1 large or 2 fresh water tanks and 1 gray tank while using a composting toilet. Not sure how the resale would be but if you could get in the neighborhood of 45 gallons of fresh water plus your solar, you’d be in good shape.

[@HumbleRoad]

Agreed. I am thinking about a composting toilet.

[@grannylyn757]

Count me in! I'm subbing to see what kind of messes you can get yourself into! Can't wait,,,,,,

[@HumbleRoad]

Exactly! Ha!

[@nikkicole9964]

Definitely Build! I really like your van & enjoy watching you work things out.

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you, Nikki!

[@DavidLucas-hf1cx]

I’m a theme entertainment designer, I’ve been thinking of taking my show on the road the last year or so, unfortunately not quite able to hang up my hat quite yet. I was thinking about doing my own build out of a rig too, Not all that excited about what I see on the market for the money. I’ve been thinking about 4x4 Sprint (if I can get my hands on one) so I could do a little more primitive camping, otherwise I think I would roll with the dully too. Have to say I love your humor, and your pro style (it shows through).. I do miss all the 20 something vegan bikini wearing adventures on the other channels.. I almost thought it was a KZbin mandate...hah

[@HumbleRoad]

Thanks for watching, David. Yep, I like the 4x4 Sprinter as well. And if you like, I can do a segment wearing a bikini! Maybe not..

[@jamesfrazier9282]

Yes! Do it!!

[@CameronSharpPottery]

Go for it

[@jacqualynwilloughby8133]

I Would Eliminate The Black Water By Replacing The Toliet With A Composter...Less Ta Deal With George...LOL!!!!

[@ForwardGuidance]

Oh man, I said I wouldn't watch. It would be sad to see you use your time that way. I was hooked on building things too, build, build, build and so enjoying life wasn't in the cards as much. About 3 years ago I committed to family, friends and traveling with my wife. I visit people I know and help them do whatever or we just fish/hunt/drink/eat/walk/visit antique stores, flee markets and junk yards but I rarely buy anything, because I stopped building things.

[@HumbleRoad]

I get it. But at this point in my life, I still enjoy the challenge of making something more efficient or more comfortable. I love design. And living in a van, it's easy to make it better! Believe me, when something goes sour, i'm on to the next!

[@debracomer6864]

Can't wait to see you build out a van from scratch.

[@occupantneighbor9967]

I like all of those ideas. Yes, I will watch.

[@russellault2391]

Yes I would watch you do your magic

[@lynlalalala]

I'd love to see the Sprinter build. A couple of questions for you: Why use a 3500 dually instead of a "regular" 2500 or 1500 and will it be a diesel engine or gasoline? Oh, another question, what do you think about the ProMaster van for someone that doesn't need to pull a trailer?

[@HumbleRoad]

I'm the kind of guy who wears suspenders AND a belt. I go over board on everything I do. I like the extra strength that comes with the 3500. I do understand there is a cost for that, though. I am actually calculating to see if the Sprinter 2500 would be sufficient for my van build. All the Sprinters are diesel. The reason I stick with Sprinter is because I see Fed Ex driving each of theirs over a half a million miles! When they switch, I'll switch ! ;-) Thanks for watching!

[@russellstarr9111]

Go for the big build, George. I'm right there as a new sub. I'm looking for fresh ideas for my own future build.

[@HumbleRoad]

Great! Thanks!

[@laurakramer396]

I definately agree with using the gray water to flush the toilet

[@russellalbrecht4541]

You might was to look at a larger ram promaster 3500, it would be so much cheaper than sprinter, and if you want help I'm from NJ

[@HumbleRoad]

I'll definitely take a look at the big Promaster. I think it's just a tad wider than the Sprinter, which would be perfect for me. Then I could sleep East/West. That's a better use of space than North/South. I keep my eye on Fed Ex. They drive hundreds upon hundreds of Sprinter vans world wide for over a half a million miles each. That's very telling.

[@diamonrockformed]

I almost believed you were actually on the road. Great editing like. Love your channel. Cheers☺

[@reginam7370]

I really like the music you use in your videos. It suits you and also set the mood. Plus, it takes me back in time and soothes me. :)

[@suzyq9961]

I vote for a Sprinter 4 x4 chassis.

[@sam2753]

Yep, I would watch, I love seeing build-outs, it gives me ideas! ;)

[@bjclassic1950]

Whoa! So many ideas, you have our attention! Hanging close to watch the progress👍🇺🇸

[@HereAtTheHappyHouse]

New sub here...just found you today on da'Tube. It's already chilly here in KS...so I will be happy to tag along on the winter build! Great videos!

[@HumbleRoad]

Great! Thanks!

[@stephanevanderlee]

Hi great stuff really enjoy your ‘grumpy’ humour, your artistry and composition plus congrats on making the change. We just today picked up our increasingly modified ‘pod’ from one of the canvas people here in town. We also had a insect screen put together using existing fittings to fully cover the back opening it also uses Velcro...totally understand your Velcro journey...we had it made heavy duty mesh mainly the canvas people idea. Using canvas makers isn’t cheap but we didn’t have the equipment to make stuff on that gauge or scale so looking forward to your winter screen project plus sounds to have a security element...this is great. If anyone does use professionals find one who is excited about your project, they ask questions, they sketch up and take measurements from the get go. They listen and seem interested in what you want. If they don’t do that go somewhere else your project will be a one off so you need someone who is interested in the creative side of their profession not the ones interested in commercial projects working to a template. It worth shopping around for creativity plus the experience. Because you are the who knows how you want your camp to work. Look forward to more of your journey.

Thank you for watching, Stephane. I agree with you, certain vendors are more suited to you needs than others. Neither is wrong, just focused on different paths. I do look for quality and passion, as you said.

Humble Road hi there just an update on the mesh...totally love it! we were worried that because it wasn’t a tent style mesh which have a gauge that in Australia is midge proof or colloquially known as midgie mesh. So after stuffing around with it over these last couple of days and the mosquito population is building over here, it works we love it and my partner believes it is a tighter mesh than the one they first showed us, she would know she’s a bit like that, so they stepped up went the extra mile, they said they would look into it and obviously did, the guy who put it together actually thanked us as he totally enjoyed doing something different from the template builds he normally did. So the conclusion here is we feel that the heavy duty mesh type will take the on and off the screen will have to do with our style of camper, the dog crashing into it trying to chase down a roo, if you crash into busting for the toilet in the middle of the night, kids in general, or just general wear and tear. We originally thought to edge it with canvas to take the wear and tear at the edges and hold the tension better but it appears the heavier duty mesh takes care of that, canvas is more expensive so we feel they did us a favour! Look forward to more!
