we don’t have a harbour freight that I know of in Canada but they’re absolutely isn’t one of my area if we did I would shop there all the time The US has dozens of stores that me being a Canadian have never heard of, and when I go there, I am just amazed like Menards that store blew me away. There was so many great deals.

That’s awesome. I’m glad that this video helped and thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.

When I started planning on this Van build I how to deal to purchase a sprinter van at a very very low price and the deal kind of fell through so I ended up buying a Winnebago view, which has the front end of a sprinter and a Winnebago back There was never going to be a Motor I was going to use kinetic energy to raise and lower the bed in the form of the spring a garage door spring. I still might make this, but I need a place to install it. Ray

@@shopandmath oh I get you, thats brilliant! I wondered what kinetic meant, sorry if you said in the video :) can you speculate why people don't use motors? I think I may be naive thinking appropriate wire would cost a tenner gbp and the motor £20 as, say, an ebay windscreen wiper motor. I've thought on it for years and can't think where there might be flaws or hazards in the system; as steel stretches, the <£1 limit switches would keep the range within those parameters mechanically and all corners relative; easy adjustment with a screw tensioner and butt hinges for a 2/1 pulley with thin unistrut or extrusion and roller guides :o less head room but could sit below or raise for garage access, specific to individual and needs. The system would be modular too, could go manual til a motor upgrade down the line :o Van builds are so intimidating, but I hope you appreciate my asking around for advice so I could potentially learn or get a different angle on something from another's experience :) I have some wild ideas mind, I do wonder on the fruition:") I suppose you're not at liberty to disclose how/where to get them cheap but my step dad says the £500 immobile vans on ebay are the way to go, as they usually just need simple fixes like new lights or housigs etc. Any experiences you could advise please bud? I understand you probably gets tons of messages and questions though Thanks! :)

Thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking the time to comment is much appreciated I will be coming out with more camping related content and repairs soon Ray

I did Got a lot of projects that just grow on to have a life of their own. You’ll win if you don’t give up.

Without me, actually seeing the unit, it can’t be a little difficult to talk to you about it If you have long bolts and you need to remove the bolts and it’s just the stud sticking out, if you double nut the bolts, you can unscrew the stud but you have to be careful if these were Loctited in place, you may remove the threads and you don’t wanna do that Use extreme caution

first off thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated. I have a super cost savings way of producing these bearings by simply using angle brackets and 3-D Printing the bearing itself From 1 kg of 3-D Printing material I could probably make at least 20 bearings out of cost of around $30 for the roll A flat piece of aluminum in two angles, and a couple of screws. If you don’t have a shop to do this, you could go to a place like the Steele store. (this is a local place close to me.) and they would cut the material to size for you for a small fee per cut. I’m guessing you could probably produce these bearings for around $20 each, I hope that this helps, and there’s nothing wrong with saving a couple of dollars here and there just as long as everything we do is safe Ray

Thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking time to comment. It is much appreciated.

sorry, I don’t sell I just wanted to make some videos to help other people make decisions on buying I’ve bought multiple for my father and unfortunately my wife is in a situation where she may require one as well I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Ray

i’m kind of cheap and I like to use stuff that I have readily available or build something from scratch I don’t make stuff to sell this project build is on the back burner. I recently acquired a Winnebago view.

Yes, Jets can be drilled larger but every time I’ve done it it turns out bad. You might’ve better luck than me.

if everybody did that, or God forbid, they did it from the factory servicing. These units would not be a problem, but they do not want you to service these units. They want you to replace them. If we all lived in a place that didn’t snow or use salt most of these issues would not happen

out of curiosity, what type of environment do you drive this in? I’m from Canada and my father was driving it in the snow and salt that is horrible for the machines but he needs to get around that promoted rust and contributed to seasoning onto the axle What type of environment do you drive in?

@@shopandmath im in iowa so were pretty heavy on the salt in winter but hell this thing is less then a yr old the dealers here they get butt hurt n wont work on your stuff if ya dont buy it from them

I had fallen under the myth that Honda engines were perfect the best, but apparently they’re not I’m currently trading mine in for a RAV4. The only problem is I gotta wait six months for a year to get it

Thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking time to comment. It is much appreciated.

The axle seal wasn’t leaking. This unit is owned by my uncle and he likes to do maintenance. Unfortunately, he lubricated the brake pads.

Thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking time to comment is much appreciated and I hope things work out for you Wish you all the best Ray

hopefully the video helped Best of luck Ray

Sometimes they just pop out other times you might need to use a small precision screwdriver to wedge it out

I agree with you, but I would say it’s only worth half the value after the first two minutes of writing on it Thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.

@@shopandmath i just bought a 2023 pride victory lx sport guy bought 3 months ago used it less then a few hrs charged it up one time i paid 1300 for a 2750 buck scooter

Why would premium fuel change anything?

Thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.

That’s awesome Let me know how it goes. I don’t think you should have any problems with 3-D Printing. Those bearings at all.

i’m updating or making a Winnebago view a little bit nicer I bought a used one 2007 with a Mercedes front so basically it’s a Mercedes sprinter van 3500 I have tons of footage but I haven’t made any videos yet. I have made tables also 3-D printed some brackets, some Laser art, camera systems, etc.. Thanks for inquiring. If you have any questions and I can help you let me know.

that’s awesome save space in the landfill Thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.

Thank you very much for the nice comment and thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated. Ray

You are very welcome. Have a great holiday season.

You’re welcome and thank you for taking the time to comment. It’s much appreciated.

I understand the cost and how much inflation is going up Keep looking And let everyone know what you’re looking for because somebody might have it sitting around and they’re not using it. This is the way I trade with my friends to keep cost down on projects. Wish you all the best happy building

Unfortunately, my father’s not allowed to use the scooter anymore

@@shopandmath Oh, sorry to hear that
