Can you tell me here you got the cooler between the pump and the water hose? I bought the same pump that's in my righty for that suggestion, but I've been to hardware stores, searched Google and Amazon and cannot seem to find it...Thank You
WOW. Cute, Handy and Smart 😊
Perfect height for the fridge! I’m gonna remember that.
buy a pinte of ice cream, transfer it into a tupperware that fits :)
Wow! What a tutorial! Thank you.
You are the best wow
Thank you Lauren!! 10/10 video SO HELPFUL
Lauren, my son is off to college and his dorm room will be a Ram ProMaster 3500 that we are converting. There aren't dorms where he is going and housing is not only really hard to find but crazy expensive. Van life at this stage of his journey is a dream and passion and I wanted to share that finding your channel and really well done videos with step-by-step allowed us to feel confident that we could convert ourselves. So far so good as we continue to use your videos to assist and guide us. Wanted to say thanks.
Are you a Mechanical Engineer?
Nope, all self taught 😁
Battle born needs to hire you to handle their social media. That video was so over the top amazing.
I appreciate the kind words!
wow, nice job. wear dust mask and ear plugs with those eye protectors, gotta be safe with your health.
Smart idea with the pencil scribe. Ever hear of a ticking stick? There are videos on TH-cam. Just found your page, going to watch more.
People about 40 years used Japanese machines made plastic bags and say on TV People used feather to package the meat when buying is unclean😢 , actually was clean😢,
Amazing! Thank you 🙏 I learned a lot from your videos
I’m so glad to hear!
Good Job!
Thank you!
Hi Lauren, love your videos, it given me a few ideas to change my bed area. Do you have any videos on building the cabinets, thanks Ian.
She is smoking 🥵
😅☺️
Another AMAZING video tutorial. Thank you so much, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this as I’m about to start planning my Pro Master build. Your delivery is so clear and well thought out. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge.
Ill be honest, this scared me a bit. I normally like maths but this is all a bit much for me. We have just bought an empty nissan nv350 caravan (low roof van). I think we aren't looking to end up with something as advanced as your build. It will only be for a few days away. I'd love to find a guide to a simpler set up. In saying that, there's lots of good info here. We might just go the 12volt avenue to charge a fridge and lights.
Looks like a great product!
They are perfect!
@@LaurenLawliss I’m expecting to close a deal on a 2014 Pro master sometime very soon, and I am making a shopping list based on your videos. Very exciting!
Lauren, i can't thank you enough for all you do. I have watched so my videos here, yours are just so plain and simple for me to understand. I'm building and currently laying the wiring on my Ford Transit based on your information. Thank you so much.
How do I identify a "high quality fuse"? I can find a lot of different brands, prices are not that widespread and I have no clue what a decent brand would be for fuses... Buying the most expensive one doesn't really say anything about quality, and all fuses have all their certificates needed mentioned on their product listing... I'm with you about the importance of decent quality fuses, they are one of the most importend safety features. And even a very small electric water cattle will use about 150a at 12v, so the amperage is very high and without safety system it could lead to fire quickly...
HelloOOOooo...Hey. Hey... i have done a buildout (sprinter cargo van) 5 yrs ago. I'm always have interest with DIY builds. That's how i learned the "+" & "-" for my build… KUDOS to you…very few if any use the "plus nuts". Other terms are used as well…couple things Available is the way cheaper tool for the install. You'll need 2 wrenches but i bet i could do it almost as fast as you. Also you can feel the resistance …i hope you have used locktight (blue) with the screws …i used countersunk screws for my build …with the wood strips for sure cabinets & etc secure, but also most importantly…a thermal break… great that you followed the van contour…just plain looks better …i used the aluminum 80/20 extrusions for structural and cabinets etc…many many reasons for this product…for me absolutely the only way to do any van conversion…and a chopsaw is pretty much all you need …again…good for you with the plus-nuts…my opinion…way way better than rivnuts (rivet-nuts)
Great job explaining step by step. Just always be careful when you are working on open bus bar that are “hot”. Keep you body away! Electricity should be respected and revered. Stay safe! 🤙
Your channel is just so incredibly helpful, thank you so much! I’m planning to build out a Pro Master over the winter and I’m going to watch every minute of your videos to help me through this process. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
Incredible subfloor fit! Probably the best I've seen.
Just an FYI, that grey lever on the negative (black) terminal of the battery actually loosens the terminal's grip on the post and you could have just wiggled it off instead of taking off the nut/bolt. Nothing wrong doing it your way, just a little time saver is all. The swivel is definitely a solid option for van conversions. I'm starting a box truck next spring (nowhere to put it inside during the Central NY winter.......) so it's not really an option for me, but great tutorial!!
I don't know if it matters at all to you, Lauren, but you are extremely likeable. But then I'm attracted to people who are smart, thinkers and doers and meta types. But they have to be Real and teachable. It doesn't hurt that you aren't terrible to look at with an obvious but protected kindness. Since you are showing us your direct experience, that makes your videos credible and highly watchable. I like how you state your goals and introduce materials before you begin a phase of each project. Too many seem to be shooting from the hip and not planning at all. I mean, any project is really going to turn out to be a controlled crash situation, but like they told us "proper planning prevents piss-poor performance". Yours are pro-level videos with high production values. With a little funding, you could do a TV series about this kind of evolution.
Thank you so much for posting your how to videos Lauren, I have looked for about 3 years to find a nice slightly used promaster and I finally found one. I will be following your lead on how to do things properly. Thank you for sharing your van build experience with us. I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge from watching your channel. Thank you 🙏😃🚐
Lauren, I’ve watched you build your van. Bravo! And Beautiful! I’m doing the same. What are the dimensions of the table? What type of wood and thickness? Is that a Langun swivel mount for it?
You must have a degree in Engineering and you seem creative and skilled and attractive woman as well!**
Love this vid pls do a video of the voltages/amperages of each battery under load and also the charging voltages of the paralled batteies plssss all the way from aus,trying to figure out whether to use bus bars or the parallel leads like you have.
So well done ! Thanks for sharing
❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙 Thanks for sharing your videos with step by step design details.
SUBSCRIBED!
Smart woman here
Thank you!
This is what I call girl power!! Proud to be a woman. ❤❤❤
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Nicely done!
Appreciate it!
47:23 Hey Lauren! Amazing video learnt a lot and doing simmilar set up, got one question - why you connect chasis ground to the front of the lynx, is there specific reason? Coz just in the manual it says the dedicated area is in the midle of the device? Or it makes no differance? Thank you ❤✌️
Outstanding presentation. Wool also absorbs some moisture and I don't want anything that holds moisture behind my walls; it is waaaay over hyped (marketed) IMHO. But now you have me considering skipping sound deadening ... I think that the biggest benefit of sound deadening panels would be while driving which is a priority, but considering weight and cost I am now questioning it's use.
Hi your show is good how how you tell about things you do you can do mind anytime
This video is AMAZING! Thank you for sharing all of your resources!
Thank you for the kind words🫶🏻
hi i love your videos i got obsessed really quickly they are so informative and knowledgeable and i cant wait for more (plumbing😅) 🥰🥰
Thank you💖💖
21:39 Your dog is escaping!
Haha she loves exploring
I had to go with a stand alone freezer to get the right size. Might look a little funky but it’s better than those silly sized freezers you have
That’ll be nice!
Lauren is a compendium of van knowledge. She's my nigga
Haha thanks!
Very well put-together video. Clean narration with no extraneous "um's" and "ah's". Good job!
Thank you!!
Nice build but u-shape is hardly original
I wasn’t going for originally, I was going for what worked best for my wants and needs - and I did throw my own twist on it compared to others 😄
