guys, reverse that partition to have the white side as a projector screen, and install one.
Wow I thought the same thing. Before reading the comments I made that comment . They sell a decent one at Walmart could plug a roku to it and she could stream anything Netflix, Hulu etc
That would be big brain
plus it'd get that chain out of the entryway
Glad I checked the comments before saying the same thing.
A gray screen is also a good option, better blacks
Brian is such a breath of fresh air, always happy, always smiling, what a guy!
True
He was also great in Mission Hill
You should go check out his UA-cam channel.
@@rickylazare8773 Already subbed baby :D
Ricky Lazare what’s it called ?
This man's skill to intergrade ads so smoothly always astonishes me
His ads are watchable
Me with SponsorBlock: what ads?
@@coler154 few. The best on this video is shipstation. The add was the package they received from michael who’s address is comic on it’s own. 6969 Missionary Way
Damn Rich's ad game is on another level, before you realise you're halfway into an ad...
Ikr! Other channels that I watch i now find myself skipping through the ads. Rich is the one and only channel where the ads are introduced so smooth and seamlessly where I have absolutely no problem watching them.
@@anthonywalker2306 Rich really knows how to introduce his stuff smoothly.
@@funkaddictions that's what she said...
Himself and Samcrac are the masters ! The only 2 channels where I don't fast-forward past the ads. And obvioulsy Bill Burr's podcast also :)
@@nneelix Yeah, that is what your mom said.
this van is actually so fuckin cool. Good job guys, can't wait to see the end result.
I can't wait to see Rich give the van to Leena then pass her the bill for the total costs + labor
Life-time contract for her to reimburse...
When he visited her RV I think he was already considering doing a RV/Van build.
I'm sure they can work out some sort of a deal
😁😁😁😁😁😁😳😁😁😁😁😳😱
@@butwait What kind of a deal😳
A camera in the shower, super handy for the only vans content
Vertical integration.
It looks to me like there is no "in", because she will be showering outside the van, like in the middle of a Home Depot parking lot, and the camera is only for those not lucky enough to be there in the lot. And then there's the question of winter time.
.
@@CatholicBoy1957 OK sad sack, under the shower then
@@CatholicBoy1957 There's plenty of places south of Massachusetts for winter living. Given Leenda's position and contributions at RichRebuilds I assume she could Zoom in from anywhere. Including my driveway!
Hahahahaha I see what you did there 🤣🤣
You could pretty easily turn that partition into a projector screen, just saying
Came here just to say the same thing. Absolutely, as many things as possible need to have multiple purposes in such a small space.
Projector screens roll up and actually project a good image... You partition guys are f*cked
Yowza! Leenda's greatest hits!🎥
@@seudechrist fr LMAO
Damn you said it first lmao
That camera by the shower is for safety. And yes, it's in 8k.
Please tell Ryan not to Read his Foxy in front of the camera 🤢
STEVOONNNNNNN OF COURSE YOU DID
Dude this van is looking incredible Stevon. You're as skilled as you are smart.
I like the fact that you're using metric squared paper to sketch up things.
Maybe ask Sams "Mom" to try the shower? Just for you know additional safety.
The shower camera is very thoughtful....I actually heard shower deaths are in the millions
Plus Rich having 24/7 access to the live camera helps incase of emergency
Rich your content is reaching new levels the introduction of the self portrait was what UA-cam legends are made of glad we were part of it...
Go forth my children, and “Do other things”
Nothing beats a good Rich Rebuilds video and a bucket of Popeyes chicken.

You rock... can I take one of the fun cars on a road trip with you?
Looking forward to Hoovie bricking more EVs. Maybe Weeeezard will be able to revive them.
🤣
Let's be honest, nobody's gonna even attempt a dump in that toilet
If its anybody, its rich.
Pooped in it. Twice.
proud of you sammy crac my son
Boi when nature calls upon you, you would
Her pooper is a little too big for that small a toilet.
The flute always gets me 😂
yep uncle rich is making art
Rich has the best talant
Why do people kept saying flute when it's obviously a recorder.
@@fazeobama8872 No lie....its like putting make up on the ugliest girl on the block ....Its going to break down at the motor or at the trans....🤣
Yes
I have a feeling this was always Stevons van build, and building it "for Leenda" is just a bit.
THIS^
Was thinking the same thing
Stevons building this for the boys to adventure in
No shit, they literally said they were going to raffle it off or something I don't remember exactly at the beginning of the series.
I'm starting to understand "onlyvans" due to the shower placement.
@Edward woah there buddy
@Edward Covid hazard
These guys are real craftsman, what a great combination, electrician, fabricators and flute player, all working as one. A great combination!
Flautist
@@G_____ Actually its a Recorder not a flute, but Im not aware of the term used to describe the noise thats played ?
Can Stevon PLEASE make a channel. His brain is full of brilliant ideas with the skills to make them.
He just a pippen with no MJ
Rich makes the best sponsor transitions on all of youtube.
The project you wanna see finished but wanna see weeks of. Great series.
I want this series over like last year.
@@kenharty6016 The van just get better tho. Its so cleann
@@menno763 ill admit theyve done a good job on it. It just not something i wanna watch
I can’t get enough of all the things they do/make interesting
Stevon going to drive this thing off in the sunset and take the crew with him, then talk about their next build. I hope he does more designs.
I am now going to try to fit the phrase “half sucked mango” in everywhere i possibly can.
Rich , have you talked about how you and Stevon have met and got to working together ?
We NEED the Rich/Stevon origin story.
Chad Savage did an awesome job on the zombie plow brush guard! Great job guys.
“We don’t have bags.” “Dime bags?” “Nope” *visible disappointment*
6969 missionary way? That’s right down the road from my house at 123 fake st!
Remember when there was an actual partition to the driver's cabin? _Good times... good times._

@@kidred2036 I can't. I'm stuck in this simulation where loot drops are fair and just, nothing's ever been nerfed, and everyone speaks Russian, except for Shaxx; he just keeps yelling at me.
👀🙅🏾♂️😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 let it go man
"This Shoji really ties the interior together" - words that nobody at your local trailer park have ever said.
The LI-FePO4 batteries is weak in the colder temperatures. You can fully charge it, then, when it reaches very cold temperature, its output is reduce by 50%. It's in the Model 3. The reason why the Model 3 didn't suffer too much is that it has a heat pump which negates the effect of the battery. Wondering if you guys have some mechanism to counteract the power loss in the cold? Maybe the exhaust heat is enough to keep the battery warm.
If the temperature is kept above freezing, they do just fine, especially if they're kept inside the van, which Rich is doing. They don't offgas so this isn't a problem. On top of all that, Relion brand batteries have a low temp cuttoff to prevent charging if they are below freezing, which they will never be.
@@FaceTubeU Thanks for your feedback. Appreciate your comments.
Just a suggestion, will probably need to ventilate the inverter cabinet.
And insulate and heat the battery tray if you're planning to make it through winter.
I was thinking the same thing also what if she drive thru water is there drainage? Hopefully they will have a temp gage/app that monitors battery output & performance
@@erickelly8704 the other video they made shows it does have drainage.
what if you made the partition wall white one side so you can use it as a projector screen
Damn I knew Stevon was a baller with that Panerai Luminor Marina.
Stevon sporting the sweet Panerai; he must have used the $$$ he saved making the wood paneling over buying them!! Great choice
I caught that too. Even backed up a bit to confirm. Not the ideal “shop watch”, but that’s the flex.
the japanese theme. damn. love it.
It’s really impressive. This may be Stevon’s van at the end because of the amount of time and effort he’s put all over.
The roll down partition looks great. The dangling beaded cord on the side... not so much. Just use a adjustable self locking projector screen to avoid getting hanged.
Dime bags? 😂😂😂 but seriously, great content and even better personalities! Love you guys. On another note, I am a 38 year old union Electrican and about 17 years ago, I tried to get people to invest in an idea I had (which I thought would change the world). I wanted to franchise a business that would retro fit all gasoline cars to all electric. This was before Tesla and any other REAL (available) electric car. I still have people to this day tell me that I was early and needed to present my idea again. I would love to do something like this. I am now a project manager, after losing my left leg above the knee, and I am thankful to be working but I hate my job now because I feel like I don’t produce anything anymore. I only deal with problems on paper and I pride myself on real life problem solving that would arise in such a business of electrifying cars. If you ever need someone, who would work their (remaining) leg to the bone, I’m your man! I look forward to your next video! Thanks again!
Brian saying "dado" and "tenon" gave me "This Old House" vibes.
the blind should be a projection surface and whack a projector on the ceiling for top netfix and chill
No this guys are next level skilled how can you take a van and make it into something amazing like this!! The end result is going to be wicked
I can't get over how it LOOKS. What a sharp aesthetic
Gotta love the shower placement next to the cameras for "safety". It's the little things that show you care.
i love they use wrap for the frosted look instead of just sanding the plexi

Swap out that partition screen with a projector screen! Drive around movie theater :)
Great work, LOVE the slats. Battery tip: I noticed you are running the inverter from the positive and negative from just one battery, which will use 70-80 percent of that battery and only the rest from the other battery. So a tip: connect your negative lead to the negative of the other battery, then both batteries will be used and charged equally
Are you going to bevel/round the edges of those cabinet doors? My shins are hurting just looking at those sharp corners...
Hahahahaha I swear that transition to the ad gets me very time
Rich: "Someone's child might be watching!". Me: Yep my 11 y/o daughter is standing over my shoulder. Now don't ask why I allow my 11 y/o to stand over over my shoulder while watching RR, yes I know better.
You know better now.
I mean she could be on tik tok instead sooooo
Stevon out flexing Rich in the wrist shots now
He’s a collector, there’s been some serious wrist candy on there..
Yo does anyone know is stevon has a channel because I love that man he is crazy smart
For real. His talents listing is off the charts.

@@xenonram thanks homie!
And who’s writing the user’s manual for your faithful assistant?
cause that thing will need a manual for sure 😜😂😂
Oh man, The title went from
''For our homeless assistant''
*To*
''Our'' I guess you changed your mind and decided to keep it?
They took so long she isn't homeless anymore. 🤣
Probably didn't want to sound like they were beating the whole homeless line to death
I figured it was for her and Brian to live happily ever after
@@TheRealAlpha2 Leenda is crashing at my bachelor pad for now.
@@magellanmax _(gives a double thumbs up)_
You guys should definitely consider keeping the piece of butcherblock you cut out for the sink. Cut it down, and use it to fill in the sink, to maximize counter space when the sink is not in use. Could also double as a cutting board
I like the "partition". Also, I like how the lithium locker will accompany the meat locker on board haha
PLEASE put UNCLE RICHs’ face on the partition blind.
The painting to be exact
I'm convinced Tesla is gonna make an off grid van like this one.
Huge market for it i feel like
Yea gonna take them 10 years. Wasn’t the roadster supposed to be released in 2020?
On one side of the partition screen, you should put a full size photo of an empty van on it so that if someone glances in, the van looks empty....You've all done an outstanding job thus far...
The flute themes/memes always got me weak 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Leave it to Rich to not put a link for his buddy's new channel lol
Yea anyone has a link? Can't find it..
I love the Dutch stroopwafel mail, greetings from the Netherlands💪🏽
I’ve enjoyed catching up on your videos while lounging on the beach in Barbados! It is tough but I was able to pull it off. Please keep sharing your adventures!
Looking forward to the Leenda Showercam going live.
AHAHAHHA JUMBO supermarket! I was there today for the groceries :-)
I really like your once a week schedule . Makes me look forward to it .
You gotta love the humor of this channel! 😂🤣😅
Keep it up guys!!!👍🏽
So, besides the pull down partition, are you going to add curtains like on a Freightliner? It's a track that goes above the doors and around the front windshield on the inside. You can pull a curtain around and have privacy. Like a shower curtain or think hospital curtain divider.
I really like the partition because you can still very easily look inside
Yes, and exit at high speeds!
You’re welcome
tel me Rich, what happens when the batteries freeze? shouldn't you put a battery heater, in the tray, swell as lots I\of insulation? Just a thought. Love the content, especially the V8 Tesla.. Keep up the great work All oy you. Especially Brian, GREAT JOB on the cabinets.
LiFePo is good down to about -4F, so until the user of the van is doing some very cold weather camping they should be fine.
You are right though, to be a real 4-season camper they would need to make sure the batteries and water runs are insulated and heated (and maybe ventilated, in some places high pavement temperatures could be an issue).
The batteries BMS controller system should cut down/off on charging/drain if the temperature is extreme. However I would have personally put in a propane backup system, obviously this would have complicated the heating/fridge/cooker system build. But real off grid living would require such a backup & additional system, especially if there is no sun & -4 F 😮
@@dandare2586 There is sun EVERY DAY. You do not need direct sunlight for the solar to work. It is not as powerful as a clear day but it is working. Buy a solar calculator. Works 365 indoors or out sun or cloudy. If you can see, it is daylight. -4F, or snowing. So an easy way to sweep snow off the collectors on the roof would be advantageous.
@@bunzeebear2973 If I was living in it I would have gas as a back up. Gas is much simpler and there is less to fail than a solar set up. The solar system has several components which if they were to fail would cause the whole system to stop working.
@@bunzeebear2973 yep, my 300W solar system provides about 35W on a rainy day in moderate forest cover, enough to keep my laptop running without draining the house battery. The van they are building has loads of power, whoever operates it should be embarrassed if they ever run low.
Batteries under the van will lower the center of gravity and will improve handling! But then again it is not like Linda will be entering the van in the Indy 500!
Shoutout to all the Dutch people watching Rich Rebuilds and the guy shipping him stroopwafels from the Jumbo haha, lots of love from the Netherlands! 😏🇳🇱❤️
Stevon really needs personal channel too, he’s a smart fascinating dude.
He's camera shy, maybe
for real.
@@terencemalik6415 I wonder that too? He seems so content
They feed off of each other’s humor. He could very well carry out solo projects, but the commentary would suffer.
Some people are better working with and in combination with others, by themselves it might be harder to flow the same way. I think Stevon is very talented in his thinking, but his comedic timing with Rich is so good, it's like they grew up together or something.
True bucket story. Back in the early 90's, I went to work on a fishing boat in Alaska. My native skipper had his current wife and his bastard son and me as crew. To wash their boat, they would get some river water with this old 5 gallon bucket and some rags, and scrub the boat with the river water. To wash their dishes, they would get some river water with the same bucket and soak and wash their dishes in it. For the skipper's current wife to go to the bathroom without hanging her @ss off the side -- same bucket!
Now that smells like adventure!
@@funkaddictions Ain't that freeking right?
@@terencemalik6415 That is freaking right!
One thing's for sure. Kermit's woodworking is on point!
2 things Rich; 1 Get a a composting toilet. 2 The partition needs to block out the light from the inside, so it needs to fit to the edges.
You literally doxxed the guy who sent you the stroop waffles😂
check the address lol. it's an ad
@@stillmids Was it? I didnt pause the video, but I had the same thought about doxxing the guy. LOL
@@stillmids I've been played.
"and you're gonna hate it" like it's a good thing....and it is Rich....it is.
I've just realised Stevon looks like the singer from the NY hardcore bank - Madball. Respect!!

8:20 use a video projection screen?
Rock the white side of the "partition" towards the inside of the van, and you can use it as a projector screen for a travel projector.
Are we going to ignore the fact that Brian left with the magazine and was done in under two minutes?🤔
Turd Cutter 3000 was already my nickname for Leenda, what am I going to call her now?
A rug would really tie that room together man
Rich might be officially the king of ads on UA-cam at this point. You don't see them coming and enjoy watching them.
Yes, I’m seeing it live!💪🏾😁
When Rich first looked at his assistants RV I knew he was gonna experiment with an RV/Van build, you could see the wheels turning as he was walking around talking smack. lol. This has been an interesting build.
Big brain idea: flip the divider around so that the white side is facing the living area. That way you could add a projector and use the divider as a screen.
Stephon is really comfortable with his wood 🪵
Uncle rich making my week once again
Does he make your hole weak?
Can the new partition double as a projector screen if you went for a white one? Possibly, mount a mini projector for some entertainment
That moment that the Shipstation plug gets interrupted by an add. Kudos to Numan!
You should mount some sort of a fan on the shower camera to help keep moisture vapor and dirt from accumulating.
“Recycling-you’re welcome”… THANK YOU Uncle Rich
there's a god damn fly in my room
honestly that partition should be a projector screen as well and just project movies onto it.
The talent all of you have is amazing! 🙌🏼 It’s like watching Brady playing for the Patriots again! 😬
waiting for aircompressor to stop to not even film anything else

@rich love the shipping address 6969 missionary way .. I'm surprised no one else caught that.
