Doing a project like this has to be so rewarding, yet massively frustrating as you go along. You two make it look like a halfway fun experience, and that says so much about your relationship, and who you are as people! Great video, I’m so looking forward to seeing the finished product!
Me too! I can’t wait to be done lol
We went the NO BUILD route in our Ford Transit 250 Cargo Van but always appreciate seeing the efforts that others put into their builds! Well done! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
That works too! The best part of these is doing them the way you want to do and use them. See you on the road! 😃
I just love you guys. You are genuine. I look forward to every video. I know I don't know you, but I know you are my people and I would love hanging out and riding together. So yeah, really enjoy hanging with good people. Even if it is for 20 mins. Keep on keeping on. Good to see how much you love each other. Actually setting a good example for the next gen.
I hate squeaks and rattles too. I think you are doing a wonderful job.
I always enjoy your videos and look forward to them. You both have such a great sense of humor and you never fail to bring a smile to my face. The van build is looking great!! Happy Holidays!
Brian looks like this project is getting complicated. Nice to see you posting again . I have been trying to figure out this UA-cam monster. Keep it coming
The van looks harder and harder to do every time you show an update... wow!
It definitely is a challenge!
No matter what you do, how you design your van, after living with it you will think of ways you'd do it differently. Don't make it harder than it has to be. It will become a work in progress much like a custom bike. Don't freeze and Merry Christmas.
Hey now you can put like some free air subs to have a lol ole school bumps in the van !!!! Plus it can double as a surround sound system!! Keep it rocking so they don’t come knocking!! 👍🏾
80/20 is awesome. I use that sh!t for all kinds of things.
You guys are fun to watch. Keep up the good work and I can't wait till you take the van out.
Step by step fun and headaches
The van build is looking good. And the ceiling does look really nice. Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing it once it is completed. Take care 🤙✌
Brian and Heather, great progress! Love seeing your vision come to fruition. You have to expect some little bumps along the way. That's what makes it an adventure. I hope your making a list of all the places that van will take you. I don't recall you giving it a name yet? Merry Christmas. Thanks for Sharing!
We haven’t named it yet! Maybe we’ll have to take some suggestions
@@LifeontheBlacktop Suggestions is a great idea 💡! That would be an opportunity for viewers to interact with your channel and could be a lot of fun 😀!
Looks great; the ceiling looks beautiful. Very meticulous job. Well done 👍🏼
Thank you! It’s been a lot of work but when we get it done I want to look at it knowing I did the best possible job I could.
@@LifeontheBlacktop your work is shining on through 👍🏼💙
Whenever i said we did it my dad would ask do you have a mouse in your pocket.nice build and beautiful couple.
It's all coming together before you know it you two will be traveling everywhere on the black top, and have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. 🤘🤘🤘
Merry Christmas to you as well!
Brian could of said thank you may I have another when you smacked him on the butt🤣
That laugh in the very beginning sounded like Megadeth's Lucretia......
That’s where I stole it from haha! 🤘🏼
Looking good guys Trying to stay warm this week your buddy from Oxford
Morning, if I might inquire, how much useable storage space is occupied by the wheel well box?
You are using lithium batteries, right?
You know you can stack them, they can lay in any position
With your skills you could build a stacking rack around the top of the wheel well, you need all the air circulation you can get, not for cooling but for condensation build up in isolated voids along the outer wall of the van, it collects under the insolation between it and the metal side a=wall of the van, same for the glass, use curtains, don't seal them off,,,,,,,'
Might as well cut to the chase, buy an older class C and Reno the interior to fit your need's cause the van is going to get very small inside.
I almost didn’t do a box for the loss of space but instead I made it as small as possible with only room inside for insulation. I did lose a little usable space at the corners but the “shelf” it created more than compensated for that. We decided to not stack the battery’s mostly due to wanting to keep the cable lengths the same for cell balancing since the batteries are on the expensive side of things, plus I wanted to keep that weight as low as possible in case of an accident or something like that. We did use thinsulate insulation so what condensation we did get collecting on the walls, it wouldn’t be absorbed like some of the other insulation choices. We will hopefully do minimal framing in the rest of the build to keep as much width as possible so we don’t lose too much living space. Fingers crossed 🤞
When you decide to bring that rig out to Utah you better reach out brother! It'd be awesome to catch up. 🤘
Absolutely! We can’t wait to explore Utah some more.
Looking good.. Enjoy seeing the progress.
Glad to see the video glad to see you guys it's been a while I don't know how to do Instagram so the only time I see is on UA-cam someday I'll learn how anyways plugging away on the van it's looking good I want to say Brian's a little OCD but that's not a bad thing it's good to see you guys I keep looking to see if you put out a new video
I am a bit ocd for sure haha
Looking good guys and I like your attention to detail. Cheers Dave
Thanks Dave! I’m pretty picky 😁
Thank you for the videos. 👍👍
28 is gonna feel nice after this week
Yes it will!
I love watching you two, it is like a comedy show have to laugh most of the time watching.
Great video. Looking great. I am like Brian. If it isn’t right I’m doing it over. I have to have it pictured in my head before I do it. Merry Christmas. ❤️❤️
It's looking good 👍
Nice team work 👍
Great job on the build, enjoy the content. I'd like to buy y'all a beer one day. You guys remind me of my wife and me. LOL
Always down for a free beer!
Lovin' this build
Very cool. 😎
looks good kids......and merry xmas to you all, be safe as always......
you guys are awesome. Thx for sharing your content. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
You guys are so funny!
Looking good cool video
Cool seeing the progress and always good seeing you both. When your done…I have a few items for ya 😂
Exceptional ideas you two are coming up with. You have to do it right the first time because if you don’t, cost and tearing it back down to make repairs can be time consuming & stressful. I’m enjoying the build tremendously.
Thanks friend ❤
Looking good Brian and Heather!👍
Your patience is incredible. Love seeing the progress y’all are making. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Heather and Brian
Hey you all, The Van build is getting there, I know this stuff gets a little overwhelming sometimes but it looks like you guys are trying to have a little fun along the way thanks for sharing and just a reminder winter sucks Lol ! Oh stay safe out there and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Merry Christmas to you too Cathy! And yes, winter sucks! Lol
Not trying to be “that guy” But cut that Allen wrench and put it in your cordless drill.
groovy
✌👍
Play nice kids and get r done. 😂
What flavor of ice cream ?
We were boring and had dilly bars from dq!
@@LifeontheBlacktop I good woman would of hand cranked some homemade ice cream while her man was hard at work 🤣 .
Sorry Jess maybe next week you can be second again
😂
Heather save that for the only fans (beating Brian)
😂
Hey Brian. You two sure are ambitious. Love it. anyway, I'm curious about your water tank. Was it custom made to fit over and around your wheel well? Happy New Year to you and Heather.
Yes! It is made to go around the wheel well and is custom to a Promaster. This particular tank is from Curious Campervans. Northwest Conversions also has a similar tank.
@@LifeontheBlacktop Thanks Brian. Good to know.
