Van fridge mount and latch solution (Campervan / RV)
My wife makes that same noise when she's out of money and peeping out my wallet.
The push button latches are a marine thing that I know of. I’m on a push boat right now and all the boats have them. Caution there is a cheap version I’ve seen on the boats that’s plastic button. Not cheap but that’s what I’m going with.
What about it sucking fumes into van ?
I just bought a 2014 3500 express, where did you get those rotating seats?
This fixed the top air vents in the rear but still no air from the front vents and still reads 80 to 90 from back vents even though psi is at 30, any way you can help me out? It’s an e-350 ford super duty van 2014
vevor is better.
Asthmatic here, seasonal allergies as well. So being in areas that are prone to lowering in available oxygen impacts me greatly. This explains my sudden drowsiness after sitting in car on a drive for a small amount of time. Also, if you have a four way gas reader, it can / have alerted me to the decreased amount of available oxygen in my car. Interesting
awesome this looks super easy!
Thank you kindly for the video. Especially liked the before and after heat comparisons. Also part number for Amazon 😅 Take good care!
Thanks for this. I’m going to attempt doing mine today
I found the details of your video interesting.
Very helpful video the best on this topic available on youtube
Question about the front striker on the pillar : if I remove the striker bolts to change out the striker, will the inside plate stay there , or do I have to pull the interior trim and hold the plate?
My AC works fine but I do notice that after I passed 55 and I’m pushing on the gas it’s sputters like if it has like a vacuum leak or it’s not getting enough gas. Do you think this is the problem?
I wear that I had a bad ground and this was causing exactly what you described. Smarter every day because your parents did a good job. Thanks!

Hey my friend we’re did you get your solar panels?
Cool idea! I'm thinking about doing something similar but different ... replacing the CR2032 battery with a CR123A battery that has about 6.5x the capacity. That should theoretically get a solid 6 years of service out of it.
Mine still doing the same thing after replacing that valve
Your vacuum line coming from the engine which connects to the check valve may be bad. Many are reporting that main vacuum feed line is crumbling due to age. You can check by disconnecting the check valve, starting the engine, and seeing if you feel vacuum on the line which goes to the engine. If you don’t, you need to replace the line.
@@VanwithTim i already replaced it and still doing the same. I’m gonna have the ac Freon checked up to swig its low
You are an inspiration to me. I plan on starting my build this fall. And i plan on recording my build as well
thanks for the tour of your ac and electrical system. this is something that i could probably try as I, too, don't have thousands of dollars to spend
Loved the music! Great results!
I heard/learned that O2 needs CO2 in order to get pushed into the cells. That’s why nasal breathing is recommended. Slows the loss of CO2. ofc, I’m sure there is a ceiling for that amount.
You deserve 1 Million Subscribers.
Thanks Tim, this was by far and away the most informative video in a sea of vanfluencers and shills, like so many resorting to vans either through desire or necessity I just don't have thousands to spend so appreciate your ingenuity and candid honesty.
Is it legal to drive intestates and main roads with one of these on a van?? Lol
What if you put your hand in middle
What’s the red bottle for😮
How about you take the door off a large refrigerator and make a bed out of it. Plug it in, set your temperature and be cool for the night. During the day you can put a cushion over the top of the opening and use it as a cool couch. I got this idea from the young women that used to be all dressed up in southern attire at Cypress gardens. Looking so beautiful but they were sitting on cooling benches in the hot sun.
Fixed my ancient B&D toaster oven this morning (the metal contacts on the door switch had a bit of corrosion and some emery cloth solved it quickly - only 2 screws to remove the side panels and I could have done it with only the one!). In my research process I discovered your video. It had never occurred to me that I could recalibrate my oven control, so I was very interested to see the rest of this video. Kudos for persistence!!! In reading the comments (yup, lots of times you learn more in the comments than you did in the video!) someone suggested feeler gauges to aid in calibration and then you seconded that idea. Perfect! As a small engine mechanic I've got loads of feeler gauges so that should be an easy fix. Right now the oven will do about 350 when I set it to 400+ and it's been like that since I got it, so the next time I have to take it apart I'll be messing with that part of the oven. Thanks!!!
You should always use a DC/DC converter between batteries. A battery needs the right tension to rech full capacity. I don't have solar power it's not nececery car has a bigger alternator. Just save water instead of wasting it.
This guy is dead on , i seen his video to get a idea on mine van , and wow the blockage in the over flow coming back in the a/c box wow
Looks cool but the slow speed would be annoying to me
I like your style 👍🏼
Hi greetings, I need avh-z9150bt SD card software, May be do have it?
You need to putlike a pool noodle chain rail under you New AC, the road pounding will break your new AC.
Would this likely be the same issue on driver's side door? Passenger side works fine from either master switch on driver's side or switch on passenger side. Driver's side worked today going down, but wouldn't go up. I made the mistake of moving it all the way down, and now it won't go up....at all. Stuck with window open all the way.
Sounds like the same issue. I would give this a try, but be prepared to possibly purchase a new switch down the line. This fix in the video only worked for ~6 months until it happened again. Replaced the switch and all issues gone for good.
@@VanwithTim Thank you!
You want coolest air in as possible, so park nose in shade during day
I think a cut hole in floor (with grate / door on it) could help this even more.
Mount a fan under hole, or just place fan on open hole
30 cents ? 😂 power here in Washington is 11 cents a kilowatt
Can you show where the brake master cylinder plug comes from
Not sure I I have a good ele connection, with power from switch to pump, will the pump make noise if faucets are not open.
Possibly the most quality van info of any video on the world wide web
Thank you so much. We were able to figure out where our leaks were coming from thanks to you!
Trying to reach you I want you to do a build for me
Can anybody tell me why the AC?Guy is charging me almost 800$ to replace the blower motor and the resistor. He said it was gonna take three and a half hours. Not by the looks of this four minute video I can do it with my eyes closed and i'm not even experienced
how skinny are you, i'm 6' 240 lbs trying to get both hands in there to get this on is a biatch
You left out the most obvious : van makes and models
Few questions. Couldn't you just use a 120V fan that accepts it directly instead of fussing with a converter to step down the voltage? They're about twice the cost but it would save busting and soldering a phone charger as well. Couldn't use rubber adhesive strips on the glass panel? Sacrificing security in exchange of not puncturing a freon line.
Simple and brilliant! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 🫡 Thank you, for sharing the idea.
