Heather, when he said "we" he was obviously referring to the other party being the van. Weight control and distribution is extremely crucial for an "RV". I think he was just trying to infer re-distributing weight for the bench location to make it work and not be so "tight", which is also obviously a reference to the planned weight versus the actual weight calculation relating to the bench on that side of the van. Anyway, "If we lose a little weight" was him actually trying to say "if me, and the van bench configuration, can get this right, the weight will be evenly distributed." I feel certain you can trust me on this as I am a highly not trained unprofessional counselor who can't provide references if needed. Honestly.
Brian, I am a handy guy. Just saying. I do my own plumbing, electrical work, framing, drywall, etc. I do my own vehicle and equipment maintenance, rebuild engines, test and trouble shooting electrical problems, and in general have a little experience in a lot of things. Not much I can't tackle. At least that is what I thought before watching your van build, now I see I am basically worthless with no true knowledge or abilities. It's been hard on my ego. Impressive work man, no kidding.
Thank goodness I can at least I can fall back on my inefficacious counselling abilities!!
You should have put the power hookup pointing to the side instead f towards the back, then you wouldn't have to worry about the lid getting broke.
😮 OOH MAN, HE'S IN SHEEP DIT!! 🤣 If that cover has a metal pin through it, it would be easy to add a spring to keep it closed.
Turn the shore power plug side ways.
Power coated part 1, I was like, Ohhh new handlebars
Haha! Close 🤣
Amazing accomplishments. Very talented. Don't cut yourself short. Measure twice - cut once. Good job.
Had you thought about making up a lanyard out of a piece of cable to keep from breaking the door on you shore power again. Just an idea
SolarHuskers huskering !! 👍👍
That motorized valve gives me anxiety about opening when it's not supposed to lol
Like a really bad pocket dial lol
Guys, you are rockin' it! Loving the content
I was actually going to suggest a strap for your 45 clamping, you're doing good sir
"If you're at this point and thinking you want to do your own Van.."
I love watching you guys, and I'm sure the end product will be fantastic. However after watching how much of the project has been squarely off the rails anybody watching that decides this is motivation to build their own needs to seek professional help. 😂
Wow, that’s a lot of work but I’m enjoying the build you two
Thanks 👍
Im pretty good at these things you are doing as Ive been doing this stuff a long time...lol..but you taught me some new stuff here! Who says you cant teach an old dog new tricks! TY! AND you have to for sure love those WAGOS!!!! If you are unsure on the water tank...i would try and fit in some compact ratchet straps but dont use the hook end ones but rather a loop end system(for more compact) using the bimini top strap brackets to attach to floor...just a thought...
Good ideas! I’m always up for outside input. Thanks!
Looking good buddy be safe out there your buddy from Oxford
Bloops are always my fav! 😂 can’t wait to see the van in OHIO!!!!
😎
looking good 👍
Good job as usual. 😀
Cheers to 18K!! 🍻 Great progress on the build! Hopefully warm weather allows a favorable final stretch!😎🤘🏻🇺🇸
Thanks! And yes fingers crossed for more warmth!
Looking good just a thought on the plug door that broke can you turn it so it opens to the out side so the back door doesn't hit it.
‘did he just say WE?!’ 🤣🤣🤣
😬 🤣
When you are completed can or will you share the total cost of everything including the van. I can’t wait to see your videos traveling in the BTV! Ride Safe
We will yes! We’ve been keeping track
Looking good Brian! All looks neatly done! 👏
could you put a flex hose on end of h2o tank drain going down into the drain hole in floor so if tank does move a bit it will have some give with flex hose so it will not break any of your pvc fittings connected to h2o tank??
That’s exactly what I ended up doing. Also at some point I think I’ll add a hose fitting at the end with a screen to keep any bugs out and that way if I need to drain it farther from the van I can just attach a garden hose to it. Works in my head anyway lol
Brian, love your intensity. What's amazing is that your can cram all that "stuff" into one less than 20 minute video. Your involved in one big project. We're cheering for you and I believe you're going to get it done! Thanks for Sharing!
I appreciate your support! At times it just feels like I’m spinning my wheels so I appreciate it!

Hey Brian, this project is really taking shape...it's good to have a day or two to get the small stuff done. Cheers Dave
🙌👏👏
Coming along nicely. I'm really surprised that electrical box didn't come with spring loaded cover.
Me too!
The trick is to drill a 1/4" hole before using your holesaw.
I'm glad you're doing all this from scratch. It shouldn't take you no time to get mine done :)~ . Good stuff brother. God Bless
😂
Looking good. 👍🇺🇸⚓
Love it. Jealous!
Where did you find the greywater tank?

It would seem that up to this point your subscriber count survived.
Definitely! We usually lose some during van video releases but we have been pleasantly surprised this week ☺️
Say dude, you never, never ever imply, hint or suggest that a women may need to lose weight. Fatal error buddy. 😅😢😂😂😂😂
