Hi Bo, It's a really nice build so far. Could you tell me where you got those downlights, please? They look really nice, thanks you
is this bella bays aluminum extrusion?
@@FeiZhao-l5p no, these are from here.www.tnutz.com/aff-id/bchuon66/
Nice video. Can I use to my old Airtronic D2 those new accessories? I mean the harness and the lcd switch control? I want like my D2 to be separated and upgraded. Thank you.
nice work with electrical wiring brother, love from india. subscribed.
@@SimpleThingsOne thank you very much
I like to watch video What name of brand and how much ?
Mercedes Sprinter. Cost depends on your choice. 60k to over 100k
Would love to see how you build the ceiling with wood panel and still have the AC put back together. I have the same setup and have been thinking about how I would do it. Maybe just remove the extra ducting and just keep the rectangular section in the back.
ua-cam.com/video/7ZsRgzoxYXs/v-deo.htmlsi=yhMBJBDs2hLhhp4Q Did you see this,?

@@stronglifestyletv thank you so much 😊😊
I am dreaming to make one, I don’t know how should I do start. 😢.
Van Build materials cost went up so much now days compared to when I started 9 years ago.
Nice and clean job. Would it be easier to roll out the finish and then back brush, filling in the beveled gaps.
Great video thanks. The auxiliary line you connected to, I take it the diesel is not coming from the tank under pressure from the sender? Have you had any issues with the heater post install ? I have the auxiliary heater fitted & want to put a T piece in so wondered if the fuel sender pressurised the line or if the aux heater draws the fuel is all. Cheers
@@akthompson110 there's no pressure. The Heather's pump will do that. Thank you
@ thanks for confirming, much appreciated.
Love watching these builds!
Great built! A cassette toilet addition would make it better!
After growing up in southeast Alaska, I gotta love the Ketchikan hat! Great video
Love it!

@thomeanon2 hi Keom Phea. That is true. This van will have everything you need to stay off Grid. You don't even need to pay electricity bill. Thank you
Best words! And you know brother my dream is there so if it's coming true I will buy one for my family, I really love!
Where is the water heater exhaust to?
Thank you Sir 👍
This video was extremely helpful to me - saved me a lot of time and cleared up some confusion. Thank you!!!
@61joerock you're welcome. Glad it helped
Where did you get the brackets? Thank you!
@robinsonbmx these are the brackets I used. amzn.to/3C0rvVT
Fantastic job. If you mind what’s the name of the windows ?
Those are Window Directl brand.
Plank laminate flooring will not last in a van. Many have tried and all have failed.
What did you end up using?
@@BoChuonOUTDOORSVANBUILD Problem is the flexing of the van will pop the panels loose, unfortunately. A solid floating floor, like vinyl or rubber-like, is better. Sorry; I know you did a lot of work but if you ask the experts they’ll tell you this.
Nice job Bo!!!
We have a 2018 Mercedes Sprinter.. anyone know where the solar battery is located? We only see the one battery in the floor of the drivers seat.
@@SheyenneTool is it an RV? Is there a solar panel on the roof?
Thank you, bo 🤟
All everything is so fresh
Heyyy Bo and RC 👋🏻 what beautiful footage 🤩 thanks for sharing this with us; I love it ❤😊👋🏻💎
@@Crystalandlagreenga thank you.
Bo, thanks for sharing another great fall color video.
where is your hand brake in your van? I dont see it mounted on the side of the drivers seat.
@tammycouture1553 this van is equipped with electric hand brake. It's a push button next to the steering wheel.
what type of bolts and nuts you use for the solar panel brackets?
@@macpainting2537 amzn.to/40bMLC3
@macpainting2537 the ones that fit in the cross bars chanel are 1/4-20 Stainless steel and usually they with the kits. For the brackets to the panel I use 1", 5/16 Stainless steel bolts. Below is the link for brackets with the bolts kit.
You don't have a template available for the shelf?
Thumbs up for this video. Good detail.
Another great video! Your wife is the rock in all you do
Should wear a mic.
Im next!
All of your action let my life has to struggle like you. I have to commitment. Thank you brother.
Very nice video Bo, Thanks for sharing! The food looked amazing!
Oh hello Mr Sixtos. Thank you. Hope everything is well.
Do you have a link to the one that you purchased? I cannot find it on eBay.
Here you go. www.ebay.com/itm/335595927269?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=eckalqyaq8u&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=57vUifiJQpi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
When I see the many new kind of food I think they are very expansive include the goods there too, brother.
Brings back memories.
Bo, Where do you get the aluminum you build with? Is there a company you get yours from? Thanks, love the vids!!!!
This may very well be the best install vid for this shower door.
Will 2020 series 5ft long x 4ft height table frame holds at least 200lbs?
If it's attached to the wall, yes.
What size are those bunk windows?
I used the same regulator/stabilizer to fox my MaxxFan, it failed within 5 months....luckily the fan is fine...Thamks for the video!
beautiful work Bo
Would be better if you built an elevator bed that lowers down. This would give more headroom. Could also add a tent on the roof to sleep upto 4 kids.
Curious about the 3 seat bench arrangements - would you be able to do a quick video showing access from front seats, around 3 seat bench to the rear with sliding door open and closed? is it possible to easily reach the rear when the sliding door is closed??
Hi. Yes you can access the back with the sliding door closed. The bench seat ends at the floor step it's about 10" Wide.
Yes, this is my words need to talk and thank you first. Brother Bo is the best man.
Are you using an adhesive for the 3M Thinsulite?
@@idostuff-nf9pc yes
Another Great job Bo!!!!!
