    Damn, going from that little 12v (100AH?) AGM to a 12v 320AH Lithium battery. That's what, four times the useable capacity. He's going to say goodbye to stressing about power.
    Nice youtube play button you have there by the by, congratulations!!

    I think upgrading these high quality older vans is an incredibly smart business move. A lot of people don't want to spend a ton of money on the low quality trash that's coming out of the Indiana based mainstream RV industry these days, but they can't necessarily afford a costly custom build. However, buying a well maintained preowned van from a higher quality era and modernizing it is a great option. I see lots of opportunities there. BTW, congrats on reaching 100k subs...all the best to you George!

    The dedicated van builds showcase your prowess and enable you to develop innovative solutions. The mini and midi vans allow you to put your team's skills into quick, repeatable turnovers. Updating older vans and travel trailers can be very quick jobs which are easy to program and also have the advantage of not having to wait for dedicated new vans to be obtainable. I think you have nailed it George. Your 'shop' will never want for work.

    I love seeing your trailer videos since I own one. I put in a 100 Ah lithium with bluetooth monitoring, it eliminates the extra labor, complexity , costs, and material. I ended up replacing the converter with a Victron battery charger. Anyway, good stuff George, thanks.

    Capiche! You had mentioned this time way back in an earlier video but I had forgotten. Very nice pro tip about the ruler and cutting and glove.
    I wish Lithionics batteries were cheaper. That 320 AH battery is $5000. Pricey. Yes, it is one of the best, with its own BMS, but until battery prices come down, most of us cannot afford these upgrades.
    I think you are on to something, George. If you could design a modular system that one could buy and install as a retrofit of the Pleasureway size vans and small trailers, woo hoo! They are doing this for camping kitchen setups in Europe, the slide out boxes that extend out all the way for kitchen galley on the rear of cars and vans.
    Happy Sunday to you! Thanks for the tour, fun little camper.

    Hi George, another great video, thank you, do you see yourself ever doing a Humble Road travel trailer from scratch, like you do vans, but on a travel trailer, on trailer number 01, like van 01, you could do your own spec and design then see what customers there is for them, I can see you doing the best travel trailers

    I liked seeing the upgrading on the travel trailer electric system. Would 2 of the lithipnic batteries be enough to run the a/c?

    • @HumbleRoad
      @HumbleRoad  5 місяців тому +5

      Yes, with two 320's, you can run the air conditioner for a short period of time. However, air conditioning is not that high on this client's list. He has the right mindset; if it's that hot and uncomfortable, get thee to shore power!

    If you really want to provide better access to the former microwave cabinet and create pantry type storage, pull out shelving would really help.

    • @HumbleRoad
      @HumbleRoad  5 місяців тому +2

      Wouldn't the pull out still be too high?

    • @dsquared1950
      @dsquared1950 5 місяців тому

      The most complicated would be shelving which pulls out and tilts down; the simplest would be a box which stores lightweight stuff and can be pulled out completely when needed.
