    You TH-camrs should not apologize for what you choose to put on YOUR channel. If I have a problem, there are hundreds of others who are doing projects that I can look at. I appreciate what you do share. I think of projects I'd like to do and watching all of you helps me out. Post what you can when you can,

    Stuff the negative idiots. I’ve loved watching your videos, they are not boring keep them coming!

    Long, or short, I watch them all, and don't find any even near boring in the slightest. Two-hour videos require the viewer to have an attention span to fit. You are spending 16 hours editing a 2 hour video, after doing the build and recording it all, and that is too much to ask. Any progress is substantial progress.
    You are turning out what will be an amazing build. I would be willing to bet that you are the first on your block to have an aerospace grade solar rack on your box van conversion. Thanks for presenting your thought process in such an engaging manner. Keep it up.

    Your videos arent boring. Especially when i read the comments now. And every single comment is a subscriber crying for a longer video. You must be doing something right.

    I've never really paid attention to the length of any of your videos so far. They all been great, Don't worry about the "Debbie Downers", you're always going to have someone complaining about something. Your friend is one heck of a machinist. Really nice work! Oh and the shower pan will be fine, it's just a shower pan. It looks like it will fit good in the space.

    Well done & yes, don't apologize. A well informed video is always better. Its like being there with you & we are learning together. I would really love to build or pay for a conversion van, even a box truck like yours. I really want to get out of my apartment and start saving money... traveling when I want. You and all the others i have watched are inspiring. Keep up the great work. Can't wait until the next video. Stay safe 🧡

    Dude, I am one of those who looks forward to your long form videos and really appreciate them! I am learning a lot from watching your process/progress and this is crucial since I have a ticking clock on needing to make my own transition to box truck living full time. Even if I weren't watching so that I could learn more, you have a calm nature and don't rely upon being crass or crazy to try and get viewers. I appreciate that. Thank you!

    Hi frpm Australia. I like your videos and look forward to watching them each week. 2 hrs was too long for me, I like the idea of 1 hr. I guess it all depends on how much time people have to watch. I really like your calm personality and how you are learning as you go along and are taking us along for the ride. Ignore the Trolls, your videos are great! Take care mate.

    For shower pan in our van we used a stainless steel pan sold on Amazon as a stainless pet crate replacement pan. it allowed us to select the size and wall height to be the exact size we needed. We then drilled a 3/8 hole where we wanted the drain and with a bolt and some hole sawed pieces of plywood, we created a press to make a recess to mount the drain in. it was less than $40 from what I remember on amazon, but this was a couple of years ago now, so with inflation it may be more now. The tray was made to fit perfectly into a bench where we have our convertible shower and also keep our compost toilet.

It's not boring for me to watch. Anyway, I am always looking forward on every video you'll have for us. And excited to see you living in your van.. Much love ♥️

    I personally like longer videos because the one that put out 10 minutes out every week I refuse to watch the commercials, your videos I will watch commercials because I feel like you put a lot of effort into them.

  • @kentalbot9702
    @kentalbot9702 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I do enjoy the longer videos. Maybe spiting up the 2 hour ones to 2 parts and posting the parts a few days apart would help retain people watching the full videos. It is hard to find one hour much less two to commit to a single video. I enjoy your van build as it is done by someone doing it the way they want. I see things to consider, like having your water fill a few inches higher because I believe it will not fill as it should due to air pockets and the lack of slope, yes even with the vent. I am looking forward to the entire build and will be sad to see it end. Thanks. And yes, that solar rack will be way too nice.
