    Please explain powering the router. Does it only work when the engine is running? Can it run on 3 pin normal socket? Is it something you charge up occasionally? Would it quickly run down the leisure battery when off grid? Excuse my ignorance. I really want to solve this problem. Even free campsite wifi is often very patchy. Many thanks for this interesting and useful video.🌷

    The wind will blow under and over the vehicle. Mobile homes will block off underneath and it really makes a difference in keeping warm. Also, decide where you will spend your time and build for that. A build is different for rain forest, desert, or -40 degrees.

    How much data do I have? Is my phone plugged into a charger. Is my phone next to the window so not in the box? All these problems with a phone Hotspot are non existent if you have unlimited data, plug your phone in and put it close to the window.

      No difference really, router I can connect to 12v and also has ethernet ports so I can turn of wifi - sometimes I don't want to be in a tin box with a wifi router blasting out! Yes it's a bit bigger, but I have ours in a small space above the cab. Everyone's use case is differnent, I wanted 12v power, external antenna and an ethernet port so router was the only option

      Smarty uses the THREE network, not ee. If you have enough data on your phone, tethering is the easiest and simplest option. I have big data on my ee, and my girlfriend has plenty of data on her Smarty so almost always have internet via tethering.

      Not unless you get a repeater with an antenna on the roof which will boost your phone signal in the van, it’s what they do in large offices with poor mobile reception but not something you want to be doing in a Campervan!

    Looks nice but won't the insulation value of that floor be governed by the wood and tape? Not sure how else to do it ovc and am about to do my first van I'll do much the same but might wrap the wood a couple of times with the tape

    • @RDVanConversions
      @RDVanConversions 10 місяців тому

      In parts maybe yes, you can just lay an entire sheet of Celotex down and put Ply on top of that to improve the insulation, but I wanted something solid to fix things to. This is how most do their floor and I think is the best way.

    Think another thing to point out is half the people doing conversions are all liars 😂 theyll sweep out / clean up the interior maybe get as far ss you have / put in some ply walls of precut boards then magically off camera huge chunks get done that are the exact stei by step professional fitters do lol.
