Roof Rack build from Extruded Aluminum or 8020
There are a few reasons you should get a roof rack for your camper van. One of the main reasons is that it will make your life easier. You won’t have to scramble around the car looking for things anymore. It will all be up there on the roof rack and you can just grab it when you need it.
Another reason you should get a roof rack is because it will make your camping trips more enjoyable because you can bring more stuff with you, like chairs or a table. And lastly, they also make your camper van safer because they can help prevent objects from flying off of the vehicle when driving through an area with poor road conditions. Looking for roof racks you find many suppliers, but I was sure we could build a strong, cool looking & light roof rack for half the price. We did it !!!
Additional info:
If needed we can send you the complete kit so you just need to install it.
All we need is the size of your roof rack. color is black or aluminum color.

Apparently it rarely happens but when it does the damage is significant. That's why I came up with a solution myself and would like to share it with you. Additional I also show you the connections to the waste water tank and c...

All about framing the roof of our Mercedes Sprinter 316 campervan with plywood of 15 mm. Not that easy because the wooden framing transition needs to be flush with the walls of the Mercedes Sprinter van. But sure that with this video you can do it ! Great DIY project Materials I used Plywood 15 mm Rivets M6 : www.amazon.com/Stainless-Threaded-Insert-Nutsert-Rivnuts/dp/B07GF6SJNF/ref=sr_1_3?crid...

Let’s talk about that bed lift with the linear actuators 😊
Nice. HOW are the 4040 posts attached top and bottom? I haven't worked with this material yet.
Dope pan! Why did you leave the plastic film on it though?
Very nice shower pans. Do you custom make them? Can I add a long drain instead of one small round drain? Can you please list some prices? fyi - Please don't add music to any demo, DIY, tour, cooking, or animal videos. It hurts the ears and is very, very unpleasant. There is ZERO benefit to adding more noise to a video.
Damn that's expensive 😭
Hi handsome. Great channel and product review. You have a cutie in the pool.
has anyone use alum to built one. best regards Arthur
I wondered about that too! Lighter than steel and nicer looking. I'm very curious about this. Keep me posted if you find out. I could probably custom build my own with aluminum welding.
Where did you find the shower pan. I'm trying to find one, before i have to design and make one.
i think metal tube could be mounted through the wall of the fuel tank
It's telling that you did not show a video after install...
Thanks for sharing your approach, and I liked your use of voiceover to explain technical / financial. Can you confirm the width measurement, it must be more than 0.9m?
When you said the 3030 aluminum was not strong enough how did you determine that, because I was considering the same thing?
I was wondering the same thing, I was going to use 3030 aluminium for alot of my van build and even some 2020 aluminium for bits where not as much strength is needed like in cabinets etc
I would suggest to always the largest you can rather than the smallest. If 4040 good in the build then use it, even if 3030 is strong enough. This logic has limits of course. Another way to think about it: what you need +. 3030 may work. 4040 would be 3030+. 5050, even if it fit, would be overkill.
How about using regular alum L-beam, put together first using rivets. Once the cabinet frame is completed, use low temperature solder to solder all the joints together. Much cheaper and lighter.
Be great if you could show more of your shower build!
Well done thanks for sharing, the flex hose forms a great P trap. @7:51
Hi and thank you. What thickness of the metal do you recommend?
Looks like you are following humbleroad...keep the goodwork..but give them some credit
Solid build, looks great as well!
Heb je er al aan gedacht om uw zonnepanelen op te richten als de zon laag staat. Heb er al enkele voorbeelden van gezien op UA-cam. Ben van plan dit te doen met electro uitschuifmotoren.
Heb er naar gekeken, maar de meer opbrengst weegt niet op tegen de complexiteit van de opbouw. Maar is zeker een optie als je voldoende tijd hebt en het gewicht goed onder controle kan houden. Succes !!!
Dag ik heb mijn rvs douchebak laten maken door een smid 80 x 120 cm 4 hoog 200 euro , heb wel een 90mm crepin. Mvg uit Vliermaal.
Klinkt goed, bij welke smid heeft u deze laten maken, dan ga ik contact opnemen, hoeveel weegt die van 80 x 120 cm?
@@AJ-zo2fb in Hasselt bij Moors nv luikersteenweg 375. Geen idee gewicht redelijk zwaar , je kan ook dunner rvs gebruiken.
Question, how did you paint the rails? Did you spraypaint them on the roof?
I spray painted them before installing on the roof .
Good question man, i was wondering the same!
Damn, that went fast. How did you mounted the first 80-20 on your roof?
The first 80-20 I mounted using the pre-drilled holes using self-drilling screws. I did put a rubber over the entire length between the van roof and the 80-20 just to avoid vibrations.
@@easyvanlifehome Thank you
yay
Thanks so much for documenting your build! I have a question: how do you make a thermal bridge when fastening your alu frame to the van metal?
Hi Mohammed, many thanks for your question. I always put a piece of rubber of 5 mm in between the alu frame and metal of the van
great video thanks for sharing this..
Very clear and straight to the point video!
A leaktest at the end would have made it complete
Same pile of China shit just like the rest of em
Enfin quelqu'un qui explique que 80/20 est simplement un nom de marque et non un produit de fabrication. comme Kleenex est un mouchoir. J'essaye de trouver le produit le plus économique avec une qualité égale et j'en ai trouvé peu, j'irai peut-être avec Faztek à Montréal. Ils semblent avoir des prix raisonnables.
I look forward to see what the actuator is doing. Elevator bed?
which make are you using ? thanks for video
Hi Vincent. Many thanks for your question. I did forget to put the links in this episode. Just fixt it :-). I got the extruded aluminum from the site aluwebshop.com . if you have any other questions please shoot. Greetings, Colin
