What about E track or is that strictly for cargo?
Are you using parts from both companies? You mention at 3:46 the DIY flange and everything else is van project 1
Where can i buy material for wrapping i wanna do same work for transit connect
Is it possible to mount a Fiamma F80s 3m20 without roof Rack ? With brackets do i need?
Hey, where did you order your tank from? What dimensions does it have? I'm needing one of similar size, one that could site above my wheel well box I built. I basically don't need one of those "over-the-wheel-well" modified ones, but a square one that won't take much room but will hold 16-20 gallons.
Rockwool
Please no music
If Thinsulate is a sound deadening product, why use Killmat also?
at my shop we pull the fabric off 4 times just to be extra sure
Thank you very much for your very informative videos!
why not stick on wood?
I'm using 3/8" (12mm) sanded pine plywood on the walls, spray painted with a flat outdoor latex. Gives strong adherence for wood screws, etc. I will consider using covered Luan for the ceiling, designed so it can be removed for any electrical servicing. Right now I'm looking into using PVC foam board, which is super-lightweight and has good screw retention. It's fire and weather resistant, but it's a bit pricey and I'm not sure about how materials can adhere to it, being plastic.
No vapour barrier on the insulation ?
Thanks for posting! Can you recommend any resources or perhaps post a video on how to convert to a bariatric wheelchair accessible van/mini bus? As far as eear load or side load, whichever one is easier. Rear load, I’m a little more familiar with. And can you recommend some particular makes and models of vehicles that are ideal for this?
Need ppe
If your insulation have sound dampening property it is necessary also have a sound dampening panels? This is not adding cost and weight to the build?
Terrible planning or no wire planning you made holes in the wall panels AFTER the upholstery, those cuts are terrible, all frayed material and not overlapping the holes. Not a good idea to show that unless you realize it and make a video on WHAT NOT to do. Don't do this kiddies. Bad look!
Where do you plug in the other side of it?
... at 1:20 why didn't you leave the silver piece taped and use it as the template to drill the black gasket and again at 2:00 ? It would then be impossible to drill it incorrectly. Just asking. . Jeff .
I like that. How about Promaster?
Good one. Helps
I thought dude spoke way too fast (can slow down in yt settings but...), but after I got my Espar AS3 B2L installed I could follow along much easier. I've had some hiccups with my unit (not the one in my pants), so anxious to try the memory clear....
Not very helpfull.
thanks for this - super helpful
May I ask where the J track comes from for holding these things?
How are these mounted?
I've used whiteboard, which is available in the big box stores. When I use it I use elongated holes and automotive clips. This way it can expand and contract without warping. It has a wipable surface. The drawback is it scratches super easily. I too use some of the Revolution Ply, which in some cases I've covered with veneers. I've made some cabinet doors out of this backed with 5/8 Baltic Birch. Kind of a frame and panel set up but glued to the back of the revolution ply. This is then veneered using PVA glue and an iron. The thing I don't like about revolution ply is it warps pretty easily. You have to glue it up on an absolutely flat surface and typically need some fasteners. Gluing it to the Baltic Birch gives it some rigidity. I've also learned not to take a sander to it as the surface veneer is paper thin. And even Baltic Birch is not immune to warpage. I'm from Alaska and a piece of 5/8", 5 by5 is over $200. Crazy expensive but it will be around in 20 years for sure. I'm a big fan of aluminum extrusion for carcasses. And I just smiled when you mentioned storing the revolution ply flat. I probably wasted $100 worth of it standing it on edge in my garage. The stuff warped like crazy. It's very impressive laying on the shelves at Lowe's though :)
Respect! Nice job.
What are the details of the clip hardware that replaces the OEM maxxfan "screw guides" (see timestamp 1:35)?
Forget that stuff.. Just 80/20 as it has more options for mounting. Plus it's Aluminum. Just spray CRC Marine Coat over it and it's protected for life. The up side 80/20 can be bought cut to length and is cheaper..
Do you find that the factory installed rivnuts are co-linear, or do they wander up and down and spacing varies?
What a huge waste of space
what do you recommend for solar panels mounting? looking to use VHB tape to glue a track for a couple of panels
80/20 plus 4950 VHB tape on all contact points.. And don't let anybody tell you it doesn't work. I had a panel fly off going down the highway at 70 mph. As one of them stupid tilt bracket knobs come off.. And it ripped the panel off. While breaking the aluminum bracket in half attached to the panel. While the brackets were still attached to the van using VHB tape. I got it on video and will post once I get time to show the whole thing...Damn lucky no car was hit or anybody injured. So I will never use them tilt brackets again.
Any issue mixing brass and plastic fittings to that tank?
I spoke with 3M directly on proper adhesive to use, and they only recommend hot melt adhesive. This is because the insulation itself is polypropylene which is a low energy plastic. Has the 3M 90 held up over the long run? How would one know if it's inside a wall?
High altitude capability?
question about the self-tapping screws you put into the metal tread of the stair: is it flat-profile and/or counter-sunk? How do you avoid having a raised profile on the finished product?
Cabinets cut outlines on the other four walls would be awesome!!
Is there a company that makes a hard sided version of these components that can hang on the same mechanism? If so, could I get the vendor information?
Best channel ever. Thanks Matt❤
Best channel for van builds❤
I'm not seeing just the rear door skins on your store. Can I purchase them separately?
Do you have a full length side step and trim kit for the ford transit? I notice this version is designed for a floor that overlaps the factory step but 6 or so inches.
Why didn't you use a template to cut the flooring before install?
Champlin Stravenue
I did it! Thanks
Could you make a video of using pvc trim to frame windows. You are only Chanel that suggested using it! I am struggling with trying use it already mounted windows measuring the right size and cutting it to match up seamlessly
May I ask which bar that is that holds the bags and do you sell the bars? Thanks
Does this work with those hanging storage bags with j hooks you talk about in a video you created? Trying to find the bar that works with this bags. Thanks!
what size max fan was this 350mm or 400mm?
