Sorry to see you stopped the van build videos. Looks like you were doing an excellent job and great job of explaining. Did you end up finishing? A tour would be much enjoyed. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Thank you for sharing. I just bought a 3500 Promaster but don't like to drill more holes.
that timer switch is a really good idea!
How has this faired for you over the years? Would you do anything different?
If you use rivnuts in the overhead beam you can use a bolt to install actuators for tilting solar : )
This is the most informative video I have seen. I've been so nervous to start building my van walls (first timer over here) and wanted to make sure I understood the rivet process before I started... There's lots of videos with the frame wood already up. This was exactly what I needed. 😅 and I LOVE the playdough trick!! So, huge thanks for posting this!!
Are you still on TH-cam?
Yes just going through a few medical family issue. Hope to start posting again soon
@@kevinkerr9332 just happy you are still around 🙏🏼get well soon
New Aussie subscriber 😊
Do you need a water pump ?
Yes
Nice work
What size drain plug kit
love the play dough trick!
Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Bless you, Kevin Kerr, for building an accessible travel van.
Where did you get that screw-on FNPT elbow to pex-a (upononor?) fitting directly attached to the water heater? I am looking for that fitting. Thank you
Hi, how did the tape end up working? Still good?
Hello Kevin, where did you buy the pipe that threads directly on to the drain? We bought the same drain for our shower pan.
Did you have any problems with the metal shavings from where you drilled rusting?
Thanks Kevin. Curious what size your grommet ended up being.... Can you remember?
GREAT SONG
Where did you get the pan? Can you give us a link?
What size hole saw did you use?
Nails work their way out especially with movement
I knew that I remembered that voice from some where and it is from the tent video with you and your wife. Now here you are helping once again. Thanks again.. 👍👍
Thank you!

Just telling you that Pex A can be used with pex B fittings and rings. In case you are on the road and can't get pex a fittings etc.
In a tight spot you can use Pex A with all the Pex B fittings.
I done not know !
An inexpensive digital cooking thermometer works great for checking/optimizing your water temperature.
Very helpful to see what the power requirements are. To test the power consumption *before* you install your van electrical system you can use a Kil-A-Watt device to bench test it.
Thank you for the detail video, may I know did you experience the window rattle?
No I have not had any window rattle.
@@kevinkerr9332 thank you
On mine the pump wires run through the air intake tube, I think it avoids splash or dirt going up it - the connector won't fit up the tube... I think yours is a later design the wire is separate - good job!
Great video Kevin. I see you are using Hard Maple, are you using 1x4?
You make this very easy to understand. Thank you
Boring have to talk more about project
What size is the shower pan you installed?
24”x27” inches
@@kevinkerr9332 Thank you for the fast reply, I'm going to be installing one in my promaster soon and finding out a lot of people are having trouble finding a good spot for the shower drain. Thank you! Your video is a big help.
Kevin...you made my diy job much easier. Thank you and God Bless you.
What length bolts should we buy for everything? Can you do a vid on bolt length selection so we can order them all at one time?
Sorry I did not that enough notes to spec bolting. Tried to use mostly metric and stainless steel.
I just want to know how to fit the connector thru it without cutting the wire
There is no fitting on the other end of the solar wire so just feed it though.
Have you had any problems with the mdf shiplap absorbing moisture and warping over time ?
Good question. Lots of people have used ship lap and have not seen anyone have a moisture warping issue and I have had no issue at this point.
Do you have a link for the reading light?
You can also purchase a manual expansion tool for pex a. I purchased mine on line for $80 US.
I'm curious, when framing things out, why does everyone block the trim ring of the window, this would make it difficult if the window ever needed replacement..
I have no blocked the trim ring so I could do future repaired if needed.
What the part call and sealant you using
Thank you so much sir!
Kevin, I'm having trouble getting my Bosch 4 gal water heater to work properly. It keeps making my 300W inverter sound a low voltage alarm (below 10.5V). How big is your battery bank and what size inverter are you running? Have you had the same problem?
My inverter is 2000 watts with 200 ah lithium batteries. Runs great. 300 watts sound to small. Check wattage requirements on your Bosch.
@@kevinkerr9332 how much of your batteries power does it use to get hot water ?
@@031burke have not checked that out to much yet. Still in building mode at this point.
You rock! Thanks for sharing your build. I’m getting ready to install this device. Your video was helpful!
How much does bunk windows per each cost?
You should put links to the products in your description ;)
Thanks
