  • @mjremy2605
    @mjremy2605 Рік тому +11

    George, after you came onto the van conversion scene, I feel so under-impressed by other builds on UA-cam. Commercial or DIY, these builds don't give the thought and analysis that goes into your builds. Your build philosophy is like the Ryokan Inns in Japan - the old school meticulous attention to detail to make a guest stay flawless, and anticipate their needs before they have thought of it themselves. By the time the Inn guest thinks of a need, it has been anticipated and fulfilled. This is how you build your vans. I think you should visit Japan and stay at one of these Ryokans, specifically at Hakone, where you can dip your feet in public hot springs and immerse yourself in private hotel natural sulphur mineral springs. The exquisite food and attention to your every need is in sync with your build approach.
    This is beautiful. You built for future expansion, modular replacement of systems and servicing, functional and aesthetic layouts, and low profiles that give a clean open space. On every single build, there is a new artistic expression, like the cute cabinet doors and magically expanding drawer table on the outdoor kitchen, standalone cabinet hutch, the new Trelino toilet,
    or the luminous turquoise tiles on the kitchen backsplash. Yes, real tile makes a huge difference over plastic. It feels genuine like gold vs goldtone. Light reflects differently on it. It is heavier but the touch of real glass tile is so appealing.
    To do all this, and still keep a strict eye on weight limits, distribution of weight, ensuring safety guidelines, maximizing space while minimizing distance covered by water lines and electric wiring, and being continually innovative and improving on quality, is nothing short of formidable. You have my highest regard. Well done, George! You are a master craftsman and solid engineer. Let us also not forget that your videos are superb. You never repeat yourself and cover what has already been covered, you make it fun and entertaining, never forget to show us everything, with high quality visuals/ audio/ lighting, and you pan very satisfyingly to show rich details. I love your videos. When I see your videos, I feel like I just ate a very satisfying meal. Just enough not more or less. Superbly cooked. Exquisitely flavored. Continually surprising. Bravo Maestro! 🙏

    Wow! Wow! Wow! This layout is brilliant!! Perfect! Cherry wood woodworking is stunning! Love the frig! This one is a winner!! The handles on the upper cabinet faces are everything. This van w/ the backlit rice paper upper cabinet faces that Brooklyn Vans crafted on their Zen van would be money!! So well done guys! Congrats!

    • @mjremy2605
      @mjremy2605 Рік тому +3

      It is not rice paper. It is sanded Plexiglass. Sanded on inside, while outside is glossy, creates a frosted look. Add felt tape for cushioning and no rattle when driving. I love Plexiglass. It is also great for picture frames, and aircraft lightweight mirrors. The only issue is that it can get scratched although that can be polished out with plastic polish. The weight difference between acrylic 'glass' for framing pictures and real glass is huge.

  • @dlg5485

    I hope to god I can afford a HR van someday, I'm saving my pennies! Your team does such amazing design work. Build quality doesn't really matter if the design doesn't make sense. You guys do your best to achieve both and that's what sets HR apart.
    George, in an upcoming video, can you talk a little about the concerns that some people have regarding 80/20 fasteners loosening over time and how HR is addressing that concern? I love the use of 80/20 framing for multiple reasons, but long term durability is a primary concern for me and I just want to know if this is a real concern or is overblown.
    Thanks again for sharing these builds with us!

I also love that hutch... it makes it look homey!! ... oh! And the way that drawer extends to make a great outside table, big enough for a grill!!! This van is so well thought out! The only thing I would change would be to paint that access port in the garage, black. Next time!!! Light Foot is practically perfect in every way!

    Love the design, quality, thought and integrity shown. I am compiling my list of Must Haves for our build that I plan to contract with you soon. There is no better van builder anywhere. PS, im glad you came around to the 2S2P solar panel config that we discussed when you were still doing all parallel. The best solar array Vmp voltage tends to be 2x to 3x the battery voltage. Your latest builds meet that ideal very nicely. Thanks for a great video tour!

    Its perfect and gorgeous. I could see myself in this van with the following enhancemets: inside shower pan at the slider that utilizes kitchen sink faucet or similar; a way to extend the dinnette length for taller guests (footwell door that goes under the main bed); put the toilet on drawer slides to that in the middle of the night I can just push a button and it pops out instead of having to lift it out manually. I would also use the 350 platform. Lastly as an option (if you thought it could work) a roof window with hatch. Just love this one, great job team!
