    • @trey_rides
      @trey_rides 28 днів тому

      @@billyhawkins9273 thanks! We haven’t finished the van yet but condensation is definitely a concern. We plan on running a de humidifier and we built our walls in a way that won’t trap moisture behind them so the hemp insulation can properly breath and benefit from the dehumidifier. As far as cold, again haven’t had a true test but the past couple mornings have been 21 Fahrenheit (-6 Celsius) and with no one in the van all night so no body heat or anything the van still feels fairly comfortable inside. We’ll be installing some insulated curtains and window covers as well as a diesel heater for the living space because we plan on taking it to Colorado where it’s much colder 🥶

    • @billyhawkins9273
      @billyhawkins9273 28 днів тому

      @trey_rides Sounds good! Yeah, a small dehumidifier is defo the way to go I reckon. I haven't seen anyone mention it in Van Build videos on UA-cam but when I do mine I'm thinking of 4-6 containers of salt to absorb any moisture. Salt is so cheap so may be worth a shot. I saw 1 guy who drilled a hole in the bottom of his van as well as having a fan on the ceiling (like you have). I highly recommend hot water bottles if you can heat water by the way. 2 of those wrapped up in the bed in the evening will stay warm for hours

    Hi Trey, I just found your van build series and I'm watching them all now. I just wanted to let you know that the videos in the Playlist in backwards order, not chronological. For example, when I finish watching Ep.4, it transitions to Ep.3, then Ep.2, etc. I think the order you're putting them in might be causing that, but I'm not 100% sure. I just wanted to mention it so you could look into it, and will likely result in more views as it'll make it easier for your viewers to binge watch like me 😁 great videos, keep it up!

If you like jumps, Station Mountain MTB Park, Reveille Peak, and rocky Hill ranch (part of freeride512 group) will be the best bets.

    If you want downhill riding checkout Spider Mountain and Station Mountain Bike Park. They're only about 400 ft top to bottom but still a ton of fun. Staying in Austin, I have 2 recommendations: Mt Lakeway/Canyonlands for something harder with some nice flow trails. Start on the Highland Village Dr side (theres a parking lot there) and begin with the Rough Hollow Flow Trail. From there you can take Cat's Climb up. From there you have some options. Take Camel Back to Ken's plunge which is a flow trail back down, or go past Ken's Plunge to the main Mount Lakeway trail. When you get to the top of Mount Lakeway trail you can either take Serenity down or continue on the Mount Lakeway trail down. Both take you to a service road. There's also Rocka Rolla, Snot Rock it, and Habenero which are all fun downhill runs but getting to them from where I recommended starting can take some time unless you use the service road. If you want something easier and more chill, checkout Walnut Creek. My personal favorites are Outer Log Loop, Powerline Flow Trail, Tangle of Trails loop, severe consequences, and bmx loop. Theres also Endo Valley and Root drop which are endurance lines.
