If you want a light that moves around you can glue it to a paint stick and prop it in your cupholder. Target has an Embark collapsible solar lamp you can hang or set on something. Can also USB charge, has 3 light levels and is nice looking.
Nice and simple. Looks like it's easy for you to keep it neat. Stay safe.
Thank you, Al!
bed looks pretty sturdy ,just two by fours. like it.
I like the kitchen set up. It is double sided. It can boil water outside and inside for coffee.
Yes indeed! Thank you for the compliments!
If you want to keep your light from falling off, try taking the velcro off and use rubbing alcohol on both surfaces to remove any dirt, greases or oils. Then attach new velcro. Then the glue on the velcro strips should stick better. Also for ventilation you can go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get some rain gutter guards that have the fine screens on them. Paint them black and trim to size to fit your windows. Also you can get a couple of USB rechargeable fans to move the air around. We have a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country that we're going to be getting some things rebuilt, (ie shocks, struts, front end components) then get the conversion build started. Hopefully we can do that all over the fall and winter because we'd like to drive around seeing the National Parks next year. I like your simplicity on your build. It's whatever that works for you is the right choice.
Thank you for the great suggestions and good luck on your build!
Really like this, it’s great having a little sink
Thanks! The sink really is nice to have!
Great job 👍
Thank you!
Nice,simple comfy set-up.💪
Thank you!
I love chryslers. Absolutely obsessed. All the mistreatment and disrespect Chrysler's are getting is absolutely disgusting. They deserve far better. Wish I could see the license plate, because I write down a whole list of them so I remember which ones I've seen. Maybe i can get a photo editor so i can make it more clear at the beginning. Let me know when you're done with your chrysler because I might want to have it.
Enjoy your jouneys Harrison! ✌💕
Thanks!
Great job on video and your campervan build. Like your bike SEAT👍
Thank you!
velcro the light....but get velcro with an adhesive backing
I really like your van homie... You definitely have the spirit and the idea... I love to see how you built your bed frame I really like that shelf man where did you get the idea for that? Looks like you have everything you need the only thing I would consider adding at the moment would be some type of solar battery but I know they are very expensive I did the best I could I got the yeti goal zero 400... I started with one 100 watt panel but I've been able to add a second 100w panel ... It is a game changer
Thanks! I got an older video on how my frame was made I got a playlist of all my builds. The idea for the shelf just popped in to my head out of necessity and not a lot of vans have it. Thanks for the power advice!
Cool! is that the Dave Canterbury Bushcraft 101 Book?
Thanks! Yes that is Bushcraft 101!
WOW! That’s not what I would call simple! You put some serious work into this👍🏻
Thanks!
3M double sided tape to hold the lights up. You will not be able to move it though.
Thanks! I’ll have to give that a try.
Harrison, regular car batteries give off toxic/deadly gases! Get yourself a AGM battery!
Thanks for letting me know! I just read about it on Interstate Batteries’ website and those AGMs seem like a good replacement. Thanks again!
@@harrybuscamps you're welcome! I'd hate to hear of your demise. Stay safe! 👌
Gorilla glue with industrial Velcro works for me
Great idea! Thanks!
Um, looks to me like the water would spill out of your "grey water tank" when it needs to be emptied. How do you deal with that? I've never seen milk that didn't need to be refrigerated once opened. Looks like a pretty comfy set up. Thanks for sharing.
Ya, I don’t use too much water it’s mostly just when cooking and I’ll usually empty right away. If I were using large amounts of water I would definitely need something else. And once they milks are opened they need to be refrigerated but they come in personal sized bottles. I think Fair Life makes them. Thanks for watching!
👍👍👍
Thanks!
Nice job! What are the bed measurements?
Bed measurements are roughly 6'2" (190 cm) and about 2 feet (60 cm) wide. Just estimates but should be pretty close.
@@harrybuscamps ty this helps
Take your shoes off before entering van and store them in shower caps.
Does the bookshelf being in the passenger right side block your lane Change view?
It did at first but I cut the top down and it sits nicely below the passenger head rest. Here's a link to the build: ua-cam.com/video/5K_wU-0u2N4/v-deo.html
@@harrybuscamps ty I think it’s pretty cool
Pin it to that seatbelt
Nice build
That’s actually a super good idea! I never thought about that. It would be a good use for the seat belts too.
Non-refridgerated chocolate milk???
Yep! Fair Life makes I think it’s called lactose free and it doesn’t need to be refrigerated.
@@harrybuscamps sounds good.....thanks for the response. Keep on truckin
Gotta have choccy milk
Gotta have it indeed
How did the mechanical reliability of the town and country hold up?
@@sethgsf4120 Fantastic. Although it is no longer a camper, the van is still in the family and running well. Doesn’t have the power it once did, but it has over 200k miles and is a great commuter.
