    Buy once, cry once....then you're set up for YEARS, the way you want.
    Would love to work out of a van set up as nice as this - maybe one day!

    Love it. Too often tradespeople end up stuck in the past and get very little efficiency out of their DAILY DRIVER AND MAIN TOOL-THE VAN. It actually blows my mind how much flack a guy gets when he trys to actually set up a van in an organised way. Great setup. Not much more needs to be said. You really covered it all. I'm an electrician and so much of what you have done transfers over to our trade as well. A+

    I have so much respect for guys that keep their tools organized and their trucks stocked. You would not believe how many fellas roll into the job site and waste so much time looking for tools, looking for fittings and running to the supply houses for under stocking the basics. You don't need to stock a store, but have enough for the current project and for the occasional hiccup. Nice set up.

    @pasqualeparente9776 4 роки тому +2

    Very nice setup. As for the battery situation, I just read somewhere that you can use the battery operated coolers which can also heat for winter weather so that things don't freeze over to maintain the batteries at a considerably warmer ambient temp. This is so you don't have to bring in the batteries overnight. I haven't use this system yet but will do it asap.

  • @polarisridda101
    @polarisridda101 4 роки тому +3

    Love the video! 👍 I can't wait to finally be able to afford my own transit and set it up just like yours! I am an HVAC technician now for a company and we have to use what they give us. Pretty soon hopefully this summer I will be going out on my own and work for myself. I do plumbing as well and no job is too big for me to handle. I also paid for my little brother to go to school to learn the trade so one day we can work together for our selves. After watching all these videos of van setups and seeing people in the business that's more and more motivation! I also work with a military veteran tech, he is my master plumber. Once I show him my van setup making just like yours he will go crazy! Him and I can't stand disorganization! Unfortunately the company I work for now is the complete opposite they don't care about us they just care about the bottom dollar! Sell sell sell, a true HVAC technician is hard to find now! That's why I can't wait to go on my own, take my time troubleshooting problems and offer a repair option vs just right away selling them a brand new unit. I tested this theory out for myself of someone coming in and not knowing the problem just right away said swap it. It was sickening to listen to them due to law suits and legality issues of it, I couldn't record anything. So everyone be careful of who you call to work on your stuff! Don't call big name companies, stick to guys like this who have there own business! Chances are they will be fair and true!

      @jrannis8076 4 роки тому +1

      The lawsuit is where you con someone into keeping an 8-year-old unit alive so that you can milk them for maintenance. Nothing wrong with a nice new high-efficiency unit unless you make a living off of maintenance, then those old units and cheap owners are like an ATM.

    Wow. So day to day how do you leave time to stay so clean? Nature gets me around 9pm and I gotta stop so I can sleep. The the phone with customers calling starts around 4:30 am. That’s amazing. Service is the single handed dirtiest job day to day. That’s a clean truck. Love it dude. Maybe also a video on how to work 14-18 hours a day and keep van spotless and totally organized. I am always in awe by plumbers that can stay spotless and organized. I can’t stay organized. And the 4-5 hours I get every couple of Sunday’s is barely enough time to pick up just the trash. Great job. Keep it up.
