Would you ever do van life? Personally, I am thrilled for this new chapter.

What couldn't you live without in a van? Personally, I knew I wanted a toilet and refrigerator for convenience.
What part of this install would you be most excited about? Personally, I loved making that first cut and knowing there was no going back.
What style windows would you choose? Personally, I'm excited to have venting windows for fresh air in the van.
What style window would your prefer having and why? Originally, I wanted a window that vented, but I didn't like that it would obstruct my view, so I changed my plans and did a solid window for a sleek look.
What insulation would you use? Personally, I am happy with my decision to use Thinsulate.
What bed style would you choose? Personally, I love having the flexibility to change my space with a convertible bed.
What would you use a roof rack for? Personally, I will be attaching solar panels, a deck, side ladder and awning to my roof rack.
What do you plan on powering in your van? Personally, I'm excited to power a fridge, several lighting circuits and a heater for the winter.
What charging option would you choose? Personally, I love having all three options to accommodate this unpredictable lifestyle.
What type of solar panel would you choose? Personally, if walkable solar panels were around when I did my install, I'd be temped to look into those - but monocrystalline, always!

What style ceiling would you choose? Personally, I love how thin and lightweight my tongue and groove boards are - plus the wood grains are really pretty.
What are you using for a roof rack that fits the solar panels?
It’s a Flatline Van Co roof rack - check my channel for the install video 😄
As I work through my build I keep coming back to your channel. You’re so clear and have such a great logical flow, etc.
Appreciate it! Good luck on your build.
where did you buy the windows, thank you!
I purchased this window from Van Windows Direct
Amazing 😮
Thank you 😄
Hello there All. The materiel included battery's Whats the cost ? Roughly
Hey! I purchased my setup in 2022 - the main components ran me $6k - about $300 in tools and the kit was $2k. You can do a much cheaper setup if desired.
Is one roof fan in the middle + one roof AC in the back recommended?
Totally up to personal preference. Many things to consider in that scenario. Whatever is best for your wants and needs.
You have one of the better channels about camper conversion, but I don’t understand why you place insulation in the beams rather than over them. The sheet metal is connected to the outer metal, so cold easily transfers through to the bare steel without insulation. To the inside. Cold blank metal will cause condensation. The interior insulation doesn’t prevent the thermal bridge, and could even block drainage routes. The same issue applies to the doors. They aren’t properly sealed, which allows water to get in.
make video quality more better so experience the visuals more realistic
This was one of my first videos when I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I now upload in better quality 😊

Bravo. I've enjoyed the 2 1/2 videos I've watched so far. You were comfortable with your tools, gave reasons why you were using a particular method and then explained the assembly process clearly. All key to a good instructional video. One thing I would suggest that could be helpful to you. Two piece aluminum cutting guides. Together they form a straight edge that is 8'6" long. Individually you have two pieces 4'3" long. Used in conjunction with your circular saw it does the job of a table saw and panel saw. With slightly more Set up involved. It is hard to push large sheet goods through a tablesaw without surrounding accessory tables. A panel saw is the ticket. However this aluminum cutting guide, several manufacturers make them, Steps in for both tools. It would've helped when you ripped your furring strips, as well as doing your component pieces that were too large to comfortably rip On a table saw. I look forward to watching the rest of your videos. Do good and have a good time on the road.
Omg, you are amazing.
I appreciate it 🫶🏻
For the ribs run a piece of wire with a string attached to a loop in end. Attach oversized piece of thinsulate to string. Pull wire then string thru length of rib followed by attached thinsulate. Using Oversize width of thinsulate will allow it to fill interior dpace of beam.
🌷Thank You🌻 ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for watching and commenting 💖
Great description and fun video
Thank you 🤗
Very well done video!
Thank you very much!
with your hair up like that you're probably 6'6" :P thanks for all of the videos literally explaining the 8,000+ things i've been wondering.
Haha yeah, sometimes my high buns touch the ceiling. Glad you have found the videos helpful!
Ive learned so much from your videos, and all your points are valid. Im planning on getting a Promaster and doing a no build build or minimal build but I want insulation and I was stressing on how to get all the angles. I love the shape of the Promaster's vertical walls, but it still has a lot of angles. I just want to find the least toxic best holding glue.
Glad you like the videos! Best of luck on whatever you choose to do :)
You r amazing 👏🙏💒⚒️🧰🍻🎸🥰🇨🇦👍👌
Appreciate it!!
I only can say thank you with tears. It’s just my husband said he would pay for it. But, I would have to do it my self. Now I believe I can
You can do it!! I believe in you.
Thank you
You’re welcome ☺️
Thank you for explaining all this. And not charging by writing a book.
Happy to help 🫶🏻
Link to wire kit is broken
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll get that fixed!
I love the play doe idea, no matter how much I measure it’s always off a little.
The play dough trick has helped me so much!
By far the most detailed video out there. You go so far into detail it’s almost annoying but you coverd absolutely everything. Thankyou
Haha I find it annoying when I edit the videos too but I am glad you find it helpful!!!
I so admire the courage you have in tackling, then clearly explaining, every step of every process. Your videos are an incredible resource for my van build; thank you for making them!
Thank you for the kind words. I am glad I can lend a helping hand!
