      We just got a 200 ah battery (you can double if you use more power), charge controller for solar panels, fuse box for 12v cables, inverter for AC power, and killswitch for shutting off power, fuses to protect your components, bus bars for your positive and negative cables. Plus all the electrical cables to run in between.

    I wouldn’t trust that seat in a crash. You’ll probably snap the bolts and die instantly😢 if your insurance knew they’d drop you so fast you’d get the same result you’d get in an accident. Weld it or have someone do it. It’s not worth your life. At least get higher grade bolts. 🤦

    I watch alot of van builds as I wish to build one someday myself. The thing I don't understand is if metal is prone to rusting when you screw through the metal why does it not rust in those areas? And if they are prone to how do you manage it? Thanks!

    • @tamradanny
      @tamradanny 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We are using drywall screws and screwing into the metal. I'm assuming the interior of the van is already coated with a rust proof paint that is why it's white and not solid metal. Rust mostly appears because of water and moisture, that's why it's good to get a good insulator that is hydrophobic.

    I'm in Canada as well, thinking about moving west to east. How far did you drive and did they calculate enough time. Also, was that a 30 day free storage unit you qualified for. Did they have an option for choosing the size before you got there? Thanks

    • @tamradanny
      @tamradanny 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This time around we only needed it for the day. We have done a long roadtrip from Calgary to Ontario which ended up costing just over $2500 (not including gas) for 3 days with Uhual. First month free for the storage unit and yes they have size options before you rent. Eg. (5x5 or 5x10) are what we normally rent and we have 1 bedroom size worth of things.

    Gawd I hate to be a little black rain cloud, but I own a 2009 sprinter 3500. I got it with 174k miles on it. I've put about 30k more since I bought it. I've put well over $30k in repairs in it in that time. It has literally never been 100 percent fixed. Every time I repair something, another thing breaks immediately afterwards. I feel stuck in it because I put a ton of resources into repairs and build out, and don't have any reasonable way to get myself into something else without losing a ton of money. I live and travel in it full time, and my hope is that eventually I'll break even on the vehicle costs vs what I would have paid in rent, after which I'll probably get rid of it. Hopefully by then it will finally be a good, reliable vehicle for the next owner. Proceed with caution.

    • @tamradanny
      @tamradanny ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah basically what we are running into now, a lot of repairs. We are hoping it will be fine for years to come. Unfortunately Mercedes parts are very expensive but a reliable vehicle.
