You know 1000k is a million right?
That's how much it was! These things are getting pricey!
You know he doesn't do metric.
@@gizanked 😂 comment of the week😂
Its actually only 700$ still a lot bit much less compared to 1m.
It's made from solid adamentium and a layer of unobtanium,what do you expect?? :D
A million dollar awning sure isn’t for the working man....
But it looks like a million bucks!
Good eye, I didn't catch that.
It's $1000K Imperial freedom bucks, not metric! It's 1M Feet, Stones, Rods, Chains and Cables.
@Superman He snaps at anyone who comments any view that doesn't line up with his own. He's a sensitive fruitcup.
Steve Cobain , he is sensitive about his family, religion, and does take constructive criticism well.
They gave you non-stainless nuts because stainless nuts on stainless bolts will gaul and you'll end up snapping them if you try to remove the nuts if they stay together long enough. They did you a favor not providing stainless nuts
WeekendHandymen lots of companies ship stainless nuts and bolts. They just send some anti seize.
Use the proper grease and they wont bind.
Manual awning + cordless drill = electric opening
tscottme that’s the first thing that came to mind.
Isn’t $1000k 1,000,000
No, it is $1,000,000 USD.
Jack Wagon isn’t that what I said?
1000k = 1 mil
AJ 7232 came here to say that as well. You get my thumb wherever you like
That's what I thought
Haha!
An Italian awning! Several years ago, we happened to be in the piazza in Pistoia (small town in Tuscany) on a Saturday morning just as the morning market was assembling. This involved a small army of vans that organized themselves in rows and then proceeded to display the most incredible array of vehicle awnings I've ever seen. Some rolled out like yours on the side of the van. Others resembled helicopter blades growing out of the roof. Once the awnings were opened, merchants unloaded and sold all sorts of fresh produce, some crafts, and clothing. A full day of selling, meeting, greeting, talking. Just a great time. At the end of the day, the awnings were rolled up and the vans drove away leaving the piazza empty again. Amazing experience.
Very nice awning with a really clean install. Never ever go off and leave it down....not even for 30 min. Wind can come up really fast and absolutely destroy the thing and it does not take much to whip it right over the van. Been there done that.
I really like how the van has turned out so far.
I think I'd have it further forward to completely cover the sliding door.
Totally agree with you. Bet the next time we see it he's moved it forward...
Difficult to mount like that - cantilevered over the cab.
Was thinking the same thing.
only problem i see , if it is raining you do have a 30cm gap where rain could get into the side door , ideally i would think it needs to be further forward to cover the full door width
Cool, it looks like it's really coming along.
How much weight (in accessories) you put on the van so far?
And how much it impacted the fuel efficiency?
That awning came out great and looks like it's super easy to deploy and stow. I'm looking forward to seeing how bright the light bar is (and how well the new snow blower works).
You have really made me think more and more about an adventure van over a traditional camper!!

Hi there from the UK, just a quick note about your new fiamme awning, once up have one leg slightly lower than the other so that any rain water will wash off to one side also it might be an idea to use an awning strap, but placed between the awning fabric and the cross supports so that it doesn't year the material.
I purchased a roll shade for our deck. It had a similar crank mechanism. I cut it down and bought a cheap cordless drill from Amazon and chucked it in the drill. Works slick.
A Wranglerstar decal on the side of the van would really finish off the van perfectly! A great build and a joy to watch. If I ever get into money I know what style of adventure van I want.
We got one of those sunsetter awnings thats 12 ft wide and extends out 10 ft without the need for supports. (For the house) that thing was well worth it.
Same here, changed our life! We spend much more time on the deck now!
thank you. it was helpful as I consider my options
cant wait to see this thing lit up all around with those lights. nice awning as well!
Q: What make/model are those mesh baskets we see around 7:45?
Aside from people being smart over the typo, it looks like a quality piece from what I can tell. Time and use will be the ultimate decider. I Donno if it might be possible to shift it over to the right a bit more? A little more coverage to keep sun and weather out if you happen to keep the door open. Looks good and I think those LEDS will work out very well also.
The more sophisticated electric ones have a wind sensor, so if the wind is blowing too hard they self retract. Which always made sense to me until i started wondering why you would leave the awning open if you aren't standing/sitting there. I think the manual one will be just fine.
Idea for other two lights. Mount magnets to them with a length of wire. You can place them inside or outside. Wherever you need them. You may need a light to take up top or under the van. The rare earth magnets will attach anywhere.
I really love this adventure van series of videos. I've watched many van conversion videos, yours is shaping up nicely, Cody. My next RV will likely be a semi-stealth van conversion.
Looking really good! I'm really getting envious!
Canopy is a total game changer. I really like what your 4X4 is morphing into.
Thanks for the videos. I'm saving up for a similar vehicle so it's great to see your modifications. I plan to get the passenger version and pull out the back two rows of seats. Going for the lift kit with big rims and tires instead of 4X4. Are you planning to get bigger rims and all-terrain tires?
My Casita trailer has one, now ten years old.get your self an awning strap to go over the top mid way ,because when the wind kicks up it balloons and many have been ripped off here in in Colorado.second tip attach 2 safety straps to hold the awning together while traveling .when a big rig blows by it could pull the awning open on the road,if it gets ripped up youll have to hack saw the damaged awning off. Last tip clean /wash your awning a couple times a year with something that inhibits mold growth, good for Oregon . Keep it lubed too. Dont forget your 3 step ladder so you can unbuckle those 2 safety straps. Ours does well for shade not so for rain .I paid 600 for mine ten years ago ,never had any problems.
Thats the finest awning ive ever seen. The van is amazing Cody, youre going to really enjoy it and that makes it all worth it. Better get those snow chains ready.
Lots of great attachments to the van.
The roof rack system is super slick! Great for storage of bulky items, surfboards and such, and especially the clean compact look of the clamps for a variety of accessories, very cool.
Nice Awning and I just bought a ford transit cargo van....really liking it
I would rethink the placement of the rear lights move them away from the rollers possibly out to the edge so the light would possibly light the sides and you won't be breaking them when you use the rollers .
Get those tools from harbor freight!! The cutting wheels and small grinders like that work great for us guys doing small projects around the house. I wouldn't recommend them for heavy commercial work but for things like this they're perfect. The harbor freight tap and die sets (metric & SAE) are both fantastic btw
What a nice acoutrement. Thank you, Mr. W.
The adventure van looks cool and all.. but money wise, a small travel trailer would give you all of that for less money. A 20 foot model with a slide out and you won’t be on top of each other!
I don't want a trailer I want a 4x4 van,
Nice to have it mount to the rack... less holes in the PNW is always good !
That is such a great setup. Love it.
The "Family Truckster" is coming along great, Do you have any idea how much weight you have added with all your mods?
Cool looking awning ! It works great too ! Looking forward to seeing your flood lights work too ! Thanks !
You met want get or use tie downs so the wind don't blow the awning up and break something. The
FIAMMA’s Tie-Down Kit and FIAMMASTORE Plates to help secure the support legs to the ground.
From experience I can tell you that stainless nuts on stainless bolts gall very easily. That could be why they mixed metals. You can nearly eliminate the stainless hardware gallin tendency by lubricating the threads before running the nuts down.
The van is looking awesome, and the awning looks great also. To me, a 4x4 van conversion just seems obvious, and I don't really understand why you can't get one from the factory. The only 4x4 vans I see have Canadian license plates.
"Sorry Italy" lol. Great video
Seems to crank out and in real smooth. I'll bet you could make an adapter to chuck up in a drill if you got tired of cranking it by hand
That's a really good idea. I've been debating between the manual and electric versions of this awning and I think you just decided it for me: manual and rig up a drill attachment (much like how I already use a drill for my trailer stabilizers). Thanks!
Its a great product and well worth the money especially if you live in the PNW. Watching your van build has reinvigorated my interests in completing a few outstanding projects with my 4x4 Van. Hats off brother!
Hi thanks for your great Fiamma video. I was wondering what brand the hanging storage cubes you have on the wall in your van?
Thanks
Wrap tarps around to make walls if you want walls
The Adventure Van is looking better and better every video!
The issue with mounting it on the rack means it won't be water proof over the door and can get wind underneath the awning. I would have mounted the awning on the van itself, like most people.
You might be able to use your drill with that hook mounted in your chuck and presto that awning should open up with ease.
How does it do in the wind? I have a pro master I have converted into a food truck. We spend a lot of time at festivals in large open parking lots that can get windy. Is this secure or do I need to be worried about the wind catching it and busting up the frame?
Just wondering if a small cordless screw driver could be used to deploy the awning. With a little ingenuity.
Cody, I'd really like to see a video of your lighting. How bright is that front bar? And how are you wiring those lights? Are you going to set them up so that you can turn sections on/off or is "all or nothing"? Some on / off video at night to get a feeling for what you'll see from inside the van would be cool. Another great video! Thanks!
Back in the day I drooled over their mountain bike!!! Way way before they built stuff like this
It is common to use Stainless bolts and nickel plated nuts to prevent thread galling. Your average consumer can not be expected to properly lubricate and take the time to install a stainless nut on a stainless bolt without damaging them and rendering them unusable.
Do you have a product code for the mounting brackets for the roof rack you have?
He's a big utuber and happy to show you his cool stuff.
Alot of parks in the northwest dont have the best vegitation for screening your camp site. I would come up with one or two walls, or half walls, just to give your self some private space.
I've used Fiammas on camper vans. They take no time to deploy and work well in all but the highest of winds.
I just ordered my f65 today, on sale for black friday / cyber monday
Trick I learned in the Air Force was to use a nut and cut against it. The nut would protect the threads and clean the end when you removed it.
Pro tip Cody: get an outdoor mat or carpet to put under the awning. In front of the door so you have a place to wipe your shoes off. Or leave muddy boots outside.
What roof rack lights did you use specifically?
Will you say what you have total money into this money pit already so far?
I think he's mentioned the cost of most things he's invested. You would "just" have to watch all the videos and tally up. But I'd be interested in that number as well. Also, in the time invested in building everything!
Ya its such a cluster for what it is.
Wow that awning is awesome it's giving me the fizz
I went with the Thule which is about $400 cheaper when on sale, has movable mounts for different applications and a stronger house with more accessories. Aluminess parts never fit right for me. I think they need to tighten up their outsourcing vendors and improve QA.
thanks. that's a nice awning for sure. ya'll take care.
This actually looks pretty solid. Setup is really not that bad either. Thank you for sharing.... I think my only question is how much wind could it take....
At 5:59, why is a bolt missing on the front bracket?
Hi there, is there a link where I could buy the brackets you used please?
I wasnt planning on fitting a roof rack. How would you feel about this being fitted to the van its self?
Not a problem,
Cody, pro tip. Make one pole slightly shorter than the other. It will direct the run off better.
Bat manufacturing awning parts and some propriatary custom extrusion. Very common in the awning manufacturing industry. Most of the awning will differentiate themselves in extrusion wall thicknesses, bearing/hardware materials, and corrosion resistance. It sounds like (so everything) but there are quite a few parts in all awnings that all awning makers use, made by bat.
I don't want to sound like a hater, but i think many like me joined Wranglerstar for homesteading, woodwork, gardening, living off the grid or for other reasons... but auto mechanic is not one of them... and for almost a month don't see much if any subject concerning Modern Homesteading... What's happening?
I'm the opposite I'm only here for the van
@@Vse_yob agree, it is time for me to move on and find new channels talking about homestead.
Can you tell me what type of rack that is?
When will we be seeing some yard projects with the Yanmar again? Kinda missing those bush thinning projects, the ram pump, the yard projects, and the firefighting stuff. But now its starting to look more like a mid life crisis.... I remember when my dad went through that phase luckily it didn't last long because he doesn't like spending money.
Cool to see you actually USE the Loctite... Novel idea! ;)
Cody, or anyone what do you guys think about the Dremel Multi-max? Is it worth the money. I seen one last night on clearance markdown from $79.00 to 59.00. That’s because it was a show room model. Let me know you’re thoughts, thank you!!!!
Stainless to stainless will cold weld if torqued enough. Probably just making it so you can remove it later.
Cody, make an adapter to connect the awning handle to a battery operated drill driver, in and out fast and easy.
Glad to see the Yanmar tractor back, Cody!
How much weight can that van take?
You could put a hook in a drill to make the awning opening process a little eaier maybe. Someone probably already mentined this though...
Great awning Cody. Hope you have a way to hold it down as wind will lay it on top of your van
Cool. How about the tractor Cody ? I saw it in the back ground.
My $20 blue tarp isn’t sexy but sure comes in handy when the rain comes while camping and takes about 5 minutes to tie to my roof rack
Fitting something not made in the US of A ? shock horror, stands back in amazement.
You might want to add some guy lines and stakes for when it gets a bit windy.
Fiamma is good choice. I use it at my caravan for many years. No probs
Can you do an update on the treehouse please
Was curious because of the title (1000k is 1M), not exactly someone who would need to know about mounting an awning on a van at this point... but not a bad video over all. Good explanation of the content, and decent video work for a single person doing DIY.
Cody, Make an adapter for your drill. I bring my drill with me when we go camping.
looking good!!
So how much was it?
So how long did it take to put the awning back I'm still waiting...…….DUH !
A million bucks, and you installed it yourself?! Excellent job, as always on the work you do. I just can’t justify that kind of money.
Haha, I noticed that too! He used the raw numbers but added the K at the end.
looks great. very cool. Easy fast way to make it powered, connect that poll to a drill easy peeze hahaha. oh and you took the hooks off lol.
