Useless for anybody without a high top.

Hi, buddy…👋🏻 Tell me please, do these 265/75 tires rub the inner plastic arc when you turn the steering wheel at maximum?

If you're going to change rims better to go with 17". Not much available in a 275 size for 16" rims.

Well done ❤

If you get bigger tyres than standard - does that mean you also need bigger wheels to match?

Hiiiiii! 255/70/R16 120/117S is good from my crafter 2017?

2:40...'3M Thinsulate...designed to be compressed yet still maintin (sic) its thermal properties.' 3M will tell you that is absurd.

Hey brother, very sleek. 1. Do you have a list and links to the hardware you used? 2. Any suggestions for a 144’ Sprinter with 2 max air fans on each end? I have the 80/20 poles but no hardware. It’s been hard to really know what I need. 3. Any links to panels that you’ve found since you posted this? Thank you! Nate

for how you would do it again (gluing the ply directly to the metal): do you believe the .5" gap below the ply would allow for enough air flow? I was under the impression that you wanted a bit of a space between the metal and subfloor to prevent mold/rust over the long run?

Hi there! I'm looking to upholster my door panels and some other exposed bits only. Would you recommend applying the tweed directly to the doors (on top of some sound deadener)? I figure the seams and ugly bits would be hidden by the door seals but not sure if regular stretch auto carpet is a better bet. I just love the clean look of the tweed. Thanks and great job!

How did you connect the wood to the floor? I didnt see it, wondering how can you screw them, or the floor will have holes 😗

life sure is easier with a step-up bit

What is the purpose of the adhesive tape in the low groves?

During the final shot I could see metal chips on the roof. Needs a either a magnet run over the surface, something sticky to pick up the chops, or a good wash.

That’s nice. 8020 is the cats meow! I heard the bolts rust if they are not stainless steel?

Thanks for the vid! My gf wants to know who made the music in the background. She likes it. Lol

Thanks for this. Can I ask how you painted them?

How are they holding up now? Good results?

Thank you for making this video. Do you also know if this tire will fit under the van in the spare compartment area?

Ummm FYI those 80/20 corner attachments are INSIDE connectors, not inside and out side.

You'd use 1/2 if you were to do it again.. Anything wrong with the 3/4 ply? I just got done cutting out my 3/4 marine ply 🙂 Using biscuits as well

Nice work! I cannot find the lock down nuts you show in the video.. any ideas?

Without watching this video but many MANY others this (your way) is pretty much how I decided to do it. I went with 1/2" rigid foam instead of thinsulate. I didn't add any deadening material however guessing it won't make that much difference. (Hoping) I did go with 3/4" tounge and groove plywood...it says right on it "24" O/C" so the 17" between the strips will be very solid. I glued down my 1" thick wood strips in the deep channels of the metal floor and then ripped 1/2" strips to fit all around the circumference of the outside edges. I'll screw onto the 1/2" with 1-1/4" drywall screws...at a bit of an angle. I'd thought about using the D-Ring holes like you too and I'm still at this point considering doing that...in fact this is the exact point I need to decide on that. I'm thinking it'd be nice to keep the D-Rings for tying or strapping things down with like if I decide to bring a motorcycle or something like that. I'd like to design my bed so that it can be easily removed in case I need to haul something like a Harley Davidson. So my idea is to keep the appropriate D-Rings intact (w/ longer bolts and router out around them so they fit flush with the floor. (I'd build a jig for routering.) Still not sure how to go about all that. I think maybe I'm wasting my time because its all going to be covered up with cabinets etc and wont be accessible and with wiring and plumbing heating etc wont be removable. Anyway...liked your video and subscribed today. I'd considered using biscuits but then decided instead on toung and groove.

another video with stupid music to talk over.

thank you. finally, a well detailed how-you-did-it video without a bunch of bloviated verbal masturbation... i am searching for just the right size high voltage home panel to fit between an AC unit and moonroof on a lowroof144 (max ~64” net). the question to myself was how to install the front mounts while maintaining the lower profile of the standard rail mounts. thanks for this idea, so simple.

If you use a step drill bill, the hole is cleaner, easier to make than changing drill bits 5 times.

Great video and love the soundtrack.

Shite time lapse video with absolutely no information.

Hi there, I’m going to be putting this same flooring in my 144 sprinter. I heard you mentioned in the video, that you ordered 3 packs of flooring. Did you use all of that?

Are you happy with the Thinsulate and Reflectix as your floor insulation. How is with rattles and sounds and cooling and heating?

Mostly the stretch automotive fabric is used, very easy to handle. But the fabric you have chosen looks so much better. Well worth the extra effort. Well done.

As an owner of hundreds of eucalyptus trees: well done. Enjoy this nice wood.

Fantastic. Come down and do mine. 🦘

soundtrack??? why??

Great video. Thanks

I love the color of the fabric!! I’m wondering what glue/spray did you use for the upholstery?

Obviously you know nothing about insulation. What you did was 100% useless

Great looking solar panel. Where did you get the brackets for your tracks?

Thank you for using our towers. For a panel that large we might suggest a set of intermediate towers at mid span. You can use the same stubby cross bars to connect those to the longitudinal bars. All the best, Hein, DIYvan

This looks just like the roof of my 144 VW Crafter, I used 41*41mm for the rails and 41*21mm for the spans to carry 3 solar panels, all 1.5mm (light gauge) unistrut painted satin black with end caps. Same Maxxfan too! Closer up though, yours looks fine! Great job.

Great video thank you! Very nice installation looks great good craftsmanship! I would be concerned though about the seal on the solar panel between the aluminum and the glass being stressed from bolting the panel frame so close to the glass. I feel like thermal expansion alone could create a problem by trying to pull the panel frame away from the glass. Normally mounting a solar panel on the bottom edge of the panel frame allows for some flexibility and would not transfer so much force to the aluminum/ glass seal. It does look beautiful though I hope it works out!

Great vid!! Love how to the point it is without any talking or waffling. Also love the neat biscuits joints, so satisfying! I'm thinking of using my plywood subfloor as my final finish for the floor? Obviously treating the plywood to be water resistant (im thinking of painting it and do some funky stencil pattern) and fill the seams but wanted you opinion on this? Ive not seen it done and wonder if there is a reason for that or actually it would work totally fine. Ive seen van lifers only put top flooring on the living space areas so guessed it would be similar idea to that concept. Would love your feedback.. cheers 😁🚐

We got a 400 watts panel from a friend who is a solar installer manager and he told us that they have left over stock after each project and they get the panels at cost . He was so generous and it was such a nice gift , so I gave him a home made apple pie and two nice rib bye steaks 👍😍

I have 400 watts on my 93 Dodge minivan. #honestMessiah

Hello mate how is the entry gland holding up, nearly a year now. Looking at installing one on my truck, cheers.

Great video and I think your method for the floor is the best I have seen. Question about the On 3/4 wood strips you glued down to the metal floor to screw down the plywood: When I put down the 3/4 strip I am seeing that it is slightly higher compared to the highest parts of the metal floor. It is not much but did this cause any issues? I hope what I am asking makes sense?

Awesome! Where did you buy 400 watt panel?

Love your 400w solar panel. But the 80/20 mounting is very dangerous, your solar panel have chance to fly away! 1. NEVER use hidden corner connector in a car, it very easy to loose under vibration. Check your solar panel NOW and replace them by the anchor fastener, or joint plate instead. Apply lockrite is better. 2. Replace the short 80/20 connected with mount tower with a whole piece from left to right. My in cabin 80/20 with hidden corner connector screw popup after 1 hour off road drive. Good luck

I love that you figured out a way to get 400 watts up there. Why did you use that style of connector instead of something like this on the bottom? I've heard that style of connector isn't very strong 8020.net/4352-black.html
