[@m.g.2926]

I love these videos that leave out huge details in the process.

Exactly what I needed to know for our Sprinter windows. Thanks for sharing!

Hello Peeps it's the English man from over the pond. Yes another great very informative video. I have the same sprinter as you, so all the job and tips you are sharing are really helping me with my build. Once again peeps, thanks for sharing. Kevin

Hi all the way over there! 🤗 Oh really?! That's awesome! So glad we can help and just so you know, you're comments help us! It's good to know our videos are making a difference.

Saying Hi from the North of England, really enjoying your videos, we are getting our van in May so your advice with come in really handy. We have never done a van conversion and we are not great diyers. Scary times ahead (cutting holes in our van). Take care and stay safe xx

Hi all the way over there! 👋🏼 Would love to explore more of England again some day. How exciting you're getting a van! Don't worry, it's okay to be nervous. It's our first time doing anything like this too. My best advice would be to try and research each project as best you can, be creative and try to have fun! It's a lot of work but it's rewarding and you learn SO much! Happy Building friends!

I hear ya! We're right there with you!

[@aaronfamilytv]

You guys did great because I learned something about it

[@EncompassAdventure]

Thank you. It's definitely a challenge tackling something you've never done before. What we love the most is when we help someone that may have felt as unready as we were with a project.

You need to install a small spacer on the inside of the right side port hole and the larger window need a inside trim ring. (check youtube to see the trim ring that you need. It will fix the water leak). Great video

[@EncompassAdventure]

Hi John!! Thanks so much for watching and for the tips! They're greatly appreciated. We ended up sealing the little spot where the rain came through and tested all the windows. Everything is working great! I think we're going to do an extra seal/adhesive around the two rectangle windows just to make sure since those windows didn't come with an inside flange (the company says they're not needed), so we'll see. Thanks again for the helpful tips, feel free to keep them coming. 😊✌🏼

What are you going to do around the curved corners of the long corners? I love the window sills which I don’t have in my RV, but not sure what you are going to do to fill the gaps.

[@EncompassAdventure]

Good eye and great question! We realized that later on and actually made two videos about framing the windows. We ended up putting a ring of wood there. I've linked the two videos here. Hope this helps! 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKWvhJiKa5qhetk kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpWYXoOujbppnqM

Where did you get port windows?

[@melissagill9385]

What tool was used to cut the porthole windows in the back of your van? Thank you!

[@EncompassAdventure]

Hi, thanks for watching! I believe he used a small sawzall/reciprocating saw. Hope this helps!
