    Alexa, if you’re reading this, I’m sure I can say, you cracked us up girlfriend! You not only had us laughing, you were asking some pretty great questions too. Well done! And keeping him on his toes? You sure did. Too funny. And girlfriend or not, the two of you are great together, a lifetime friendship for sure, which I think is awesome.

  • @IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS
    @IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS 4 роки тому

    For someone who is older and not physically able to do the sort of adventure that requires gear, this is a good use of space. The interior is nearly wide open and there's a lot of storage for crafts and the like--enough room in the back for a camp stove, table, camp chairs, hiking boots, etc. With some side windows toward the back in the seating area, it would be perfect. It's near perfect for me now, though perfect for you.

  • @NatGreenOnline
    @NatGreenOnline 5 років тому +12

    hey Jarrod, this is one of the best builds I've seen yet. I really like the murphy bed and the hidden shower. 2 questions and a request. :)
    1) Would is be possible to make some adjustments for a wider bed (closer to a queen size)?
    2) You mentioned attaching the toilet to the door. Wouldn't it have to be way higher to clear the wall of the floor pan?
    Request: When you're 100% done with the build, if you could could make a playlist of short 3 to 5 min videos for each of the main features (bed, shower) explaining how you made it, parts list, etc?
    That would be amazing. Again, great job on the build!

    • @JarrodTocci
      @JarrodTocci  5 років тому +6

      Thank you! I do have a build series of this van on my page to explains a lot about certain parts.
      You could design it to make the bed bigger. Just have to sacrifice something. If it was wider then the long countertop would have to go because a queen spans most of the back doors. You could try a side murphy bed but that is tough in a Sprinter as the curve is drastic. I now have a design in my head for a bigger bed 🤣 thanks for doing that and making me want to build another lol...I'm kidding I won't build another.
      The toilet will clear the pan. I just need to build it correctly but not worried too much about it

  • @opcn18
    @opcn18 5 років тому +1

    On the subject of rooftop walkable solar. The cells themselves are more fragile than the glass, so you can be damaging your output while walking on it without seeing the damage. There are clever diode arrangements being used now to protect output so you might not see a dramatic drop until the damage crosses a certain threshold, but it's something to pay attention to.

    • @JarrodTocci
      @JarrodTocci  5 років тому +1

      I never make contact with the cells themselves. The cells are sandwiched between two very thick pieces of glass. They are commercial grade and are designed to handle 80mph hail. They are rated for 25 years and were also not designed to go on vans. They are meant to be on large fields. But what people don't understand is if you use a commercial grade panel like this then you need certain other components to make sure your systems runs correctly. This is why I hired Tiny Watts Solar to do that for me.

    I've seen so many tours(like 50+) of tiny homes, all sizes, and this is probably my favorite so far. I really, really like your nightstand, water fill spot, shower, and recirculating shower idea. The only other thing I would want on this would be a backup generator and more water (I'm under the impression you can never have enough water with you even though I've never lived the van life)

    • @JarrodTocci
      @JarrodTocci  4 роки тому

      Thank you! I'm with you with the water. I was be cautious of weight with water weighing at 8 pounds per gallon it can get heavy quick. With the amount of power and solar panel size there's no need for a generator but understandable for someone that wants/needs more. Thanks again

    That is such an awesome space Jarrod. Such a high tech customised van you have designed - it helps to have the skills and knowledge that you have. The recirculating shower you're gonna use, will be the mantis shower to have. I'm wanting to purchase one for my home. A bit pricey for a shower but well worth having. Can't wait to see more of you in your van and showing a day in the life of living in your van. Awesome Jarrod - thanks for sharing. Good job Alexis.

    • @CatoNoise
      @CatoNoise 5 років тому

      Yeah, I think if you change the camera's frame rate that can sometimes help. But the fact that it's flickering at all is what I'm talking about. Traditional dimmers are made to work with bulbs that have filaments, and LEDs don't have that. I could be wrong, but my understanding is that LEDs shouldn't flicker, even if it's only visible when filming. If the bulb is flickering at all, then it's most likely because of an incompatible dimmer switch, or LEDs that aren't dimmable to begin with, and that can sometimes shorten the life of your LEDs. That's my understanding at least. As someone that gets migraines, I'd also want to get a combo set up that doesn't involve flickering because even if you don't consciously notice flickering in person, it can still affect you. (Love the van setup btw, thanks for making these videos!)

    Jarrod, you probably remember me from my comments in the past. I just want to say, you're an amazing guy. I've watched all your videos, and of all the travellers I follow on UA-cam, I have always been the most inspired, educated, and entertained by you. I follow your content more closely than Bob Wells, and I have met him, personally. He inspired me, as a former van lifer, and you make art of the concepts he teaches. As I mentioned, about a year ago, I am planning to return to living tiny, when I retire, and watching both your van builds have truly helped me think outside the box to better refine my plans. I hope you keep designing, in addition to your comedy career. I bet you could invent some great designs for tiny houses, perhaps even publish a book on it. You've definitely hooked me as a fan. You need to post more comedy, too.
    When I was living my van life I was a promoter and independent manager for comedians and rock bands. You've got a winning formula, here. You're videos are great, balancing good camera work, real improvisational presentation that's intelligent, witty, and inoffensive, and enough personal character to come off genuine and relatable.
    You do come off as a great guy with whom to kick back and have a beer.
    I think that Alexa should just keep following you, too. She's adorable, and the chemistry you two have on camera is as appealing. You could definitely do more collaboration with her, and improve both your audience bases. You're looking pretty good, too, Bud. The weight loss is definitely showing, and you have definitely improved on your grooming habits in the past couple years. You're getting pretty classy, Jarrod. It suits you.
    I hope my long-winded comment has brightened your day. Your videos always brighten mine, and more importantly, they earned you at least one fan.

      Btw ... your weight loss is noticeable ... so well done. I'm not a regular viewer. I saw a vlog of yours maybe a year? ago and then again today and it is evident how much less you seem to weigh.
      In general though, I find your style too effusive if you want to do stand-up. You work too hard to be awesome and 'present' and gnarly (dated what) but come off way too earnest ... and sycophantic ... touches of the Carnegiesque, as if you are trying too hard to be liked, to elicit subs and garner influencer status ... verging on inauthentic.
      Such is the hollow beast of social media though and I think it is entrenched in your American culture to be oblivious to subtlety, irony and witty understatement. You bludgeon the world with big, bold, monosyllabic crayons.

    Congratulations and well done on your beautiful design and construction :) The various van tours you‘be conducted have been so helpful to me in designing my own layout and making technical decisions, so it’s very cool to see what you’ve learned and implemented too.
    A small constructive criticism - I think the fluorescent lighting is a bit harsh, and something warmer will not only create a more pleasant ambiance, but may feel better to physically spend time in! Among other health effects, fluorescent light exposure suppresses melatonin, which affects your sleep quality. Perhaps something to consider, if I may 😊

  • @Uradamus
    @Uradamus 3 роки тому

    I might of just had an interesting idea. It would be neat to see a van that didn't use the side door for getting in or out at all, as it would give you more space to work with inside. The door would still be possible to slide open, but it would be to gain access to your utility stuff, like water tanks, batteries, etc.
    You can basically have a counter top and maybe overhead storage and a bit of insulated wall blocking the way on the inside on the upper half while the area under the counter would be open to the sliding door for housing the utilities that need convenient accessing from time to time from the outside.
    BTW, what sort of clearance do you have in that van? Seems surprisingly tall and I'm always trying to keep an eye out for models that I'd actually be able to stand in, which may be asking a bit much since I'm ~6'2".
