  • Thanks for watching the latest additions to my van conversion, Brunswick!! These last few weeks have been a flurry of little bits of progress; I’ve been trying to fit build-time in whenever I can. Y’all- can I please just quit my full-time job and do this all the time already? 😂 That would be the dream 🤞
    In this video, I show my progress with the flooring, the walls, the ceiling, my modified desk, adding shore power, and more! I hope you will feel like you are hanging out with Teller and me while we build our home in this no-commentary conversion series.
    I’m also so excited to show you my newest device for Teller’s safety- the Waggle Pet Monitor & GPS!

    Hi Milo, I've been waiting to see the videos of new van build, I loved the way your little van was designed can't wait to see how this one turns out. I really enjoy the way you do your videos, you make it look so simple that if I were younger I'd have a go myself.

    Hi Milo & Teller! The new home is coming along nicely. Documenting your progress is so inspiring for Van Dreamers. Your designs are wonderful! We travel a great deal in our 18’ trailer with two mini-foxhounds and have worried any time we’ve left them alone at all. I ordered Waggle and look forward to having the peace of mind that they’re snug if we ever need to leave them ‘home’ for a bit! Thank you for letting us know about it. Blessings to you both!!

    Looking fantastic so far Milo, keep up the great work. One word of advice if I may, when drilling steel… low speed high pressure is the way to go. If you spin at a high rpm the bit tends to skip and will dull very quickly. Use a lot of downward pressure and spin the drill much slower and it will be far more efficient and cut faster 🙂

    It's coming along great! Check into getting some "quick clamps" from Harbor Freight or any other discount store. They are super helpful when it comes to holding things in place when working on a project by yourself. It's like having more arms. Well, not really, that would be weird. But they are useful for holding things in place while drilling and cutting and glueing by yourself.

    Hello Milo Mélody. Sorry for my bad english. I saw your videos on your old van. You decorate very well, so clean and natural.
    I have a question about your insulation : what is this insulation ? Here, in France, I have never seen that. Good luck for the future and big hug for your dog. 😊👋

    • @milomeloy
      @milomeloy  Рік тому +1

      Thank you!! I am using 3M Thinsulate for insulating this van. I am a big fan, it is so easy to install and has been doing an excellent job of regulating the temperature in the van!
      Here is the roll I bought for this size van (136" WB), and it was *almost* enough, just needed a little bit extra to finish off.
