Young man, I kid, you not, you are seriously organized and knowledgeable. Good for you.
You can get solenoid valves that are “normally open” or “normally closed” in the unpowered state, and also motorized ball valves that only use power while opening or closing. Regardless of the valve you buy make sure it is rated for LPG.
This is diy down right. These tutorials on van builds specifically are in my opinion the very best bar none. I have researched for half a decade but no one has broke it down so eloquently. You make these complicated concepts easy to understand. You even shared the plans in color for free. Thank you
One note about about checking for gas leaks is I think it is a good idea to do it often. Takes seconds if there is good access. Travel vibrations loosen a lot of stuff.
Disclaimer "I'm not Hank Hill." LOL. Great video, thanks!
Dude. I wish every youtuber was like you. This was so incredibly informative and concise, thanks so much! You got an instant subscriber right here
Awesome video! Less filler nonsense and all info that’s helpful for doing this diy.
Thanks Sam, great series of videos for van conversions - you are an excellent tutor - such a nice young man.
I'm a huge fan of your video's Moser! Thanks for all your help.
Your videos are very well done! Used a few of your videos already in the process of converting my Ram Promaster 3500. Thanks for all the effort you put into these!
I just gotta say, your videos are the best. You've made stuff so much more accessible for people without experience!! I now feel like I understand how it's possible for me to become a van lifer. Thank you so so much!!!
This is a fantastic video! Not just an excellent wealth of info, but it’s also an amazing source for instructions!
Very solid video. Thank you. Great resource!
Thank you!!! I have been all over the net & instruction manuals trying to figure this out. Whew 😰. Subscribed! This is the best. Can’t wait to binge watch. Truly. Thank you
Really clear explanations, no mumbo jumbo! Really great man
Yew! First View! I've been studying all your videos as i'm thinking about building out a transit in the near future. Thanks for the comprehensive videos!
Outstanding work. Yet more questions answered. Thanks again.
Another great job! Thorough research and well communicated yet again.
Super helpful and explained clearly and thoroughly. Thank you!
Thank you so much for all the videos you've done !!
They are really informative and cover every topic in depth.
It is really useful for someone like me who is currently planning everything for my T3 Syncro conversion :)
Thanks again, and congrats !!
Awesome breakdown! Thank you
Fantastic! Thorough and concise. Thanks!
Great video full of very useful information.
It looks like your propane locker door/opening doesn’t have a gasket to seal it.
Another great job Sam!
Couldn't ask for a better presentation. Thanks!
Wow! Thank you for your job! Great stuff!
YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO INFORMATIVE
Your videos rock! Thank you for your knowledge sharing.
Great series - I hope you're making something on it; there's a lot of work here!
incredible information! thanks for making this video
Love your vidz buddy! keep it up, shooting to get a van within the next year or two...cannot wait. Researching like crazy.
Well done mate. Great concise explanation, exactly what I was looking for. Other vanlife TH-camrs should take note, we are here for information not lifestyle vlogs.
this video was super helpful! thanks for the vid!
jack-of-all-trades. thumbs up.
All your videos are great sir! Very helpfull! Thank you for sharing it all
Excellent video, thanks for the great clear info
Very well done young man, very informative and to the point. Thanks so much, your newest sub.
Great info! keep it coming!
Outstanding video!! Thank you sir!!
Very articulate and informative.
Awesome video thanks for the info!
Loved your video! it cleared ALL my doubt like you almost did it just for me hahaha THANKS!
great video, thanks!
I find this guys voice so soothing 😅😅😅
I just put a 20 lbs tank in my van and started using it. No "system." Just a tank and hose. It's been working fine for years.
Excellent presentation. Namaste 🙏
Great video. Thanks
Dude I love you so much
Nice stuff
Another fantastic and informative video! How long does your propane tank usually last do you find? I'm curious especially about the consumption of a propane heater
Can someone tell me what those latches on the door are called or where I can order some? They look really nice. Thanks!
I’m wondering the same thing! Did you ever find out?
Great video, very helpful content. Would you mind including links to the type of gas hose and propane detector. Thank you!
Hi Moser and thanks for great video. I’ve lived full time in my van since beginning of 2019 and I do use propane. I’m not however handy with wood working projects. I’ve tried making a box for my 20 lb tank 2 times and both times it was a disaster. I have a brain injury that makes very simple math very difficult for me. I want to be safe as well as provide a perch for my kitty, Toby, and your build is perfect. I’m writing to request the build directions so that I can have a replica of your beautiful propane box built in my 2019 Ram Promaster. I can pay for this info if you’re willing to share. Thanks again for a really brilliant build and box. MaryAnn & Toby
Great video as always! Which gas regulator did you end up buying?
You need to have good ventilation to run a propane system in a camper, its not just the gas fumes burning propane also emits alot of water vapor you're walls will be dripping. Installing a propane system is not a problem if you don't care as much about stealth and have a bit of money sitting around. In my case I spend alot of nights in city neighborhoods and used alot of my savings buying/converting the Van so this won't happen anytime soon.
Great video! What 2-burner stove did you get?
Thank u👍
Amazing video. Would you recommend securely storing a 5 gal propane tank in a vented rooftop cargo box? Would you be concerned about static electricity? Any input would be helpful. Thank you.
which model proper heater do you use, and thoughts on it??? Thanks so much for sharing insight!
Great presentation, can you elaborate on what size the copper tubing is for the plumbing: 3/8", 1/2", something different? Thanks
Hi. What stove top did you use and did you like it? DId it perform well? Thanks for making the videos.
I was hoping you would talk about your propane gauge. I’ve been told repeatedly that they are notoriously inaccurate. Are you happy with yours, and if so, which one is it? Thx.
Great videos. Question...If i want to run just propane oven stove what size tank do you think I’ll need? I was thinking about doing undermount tank with a electric 4g water heater for my shower and sink and a wabasto gas heater. Is Undermount just for stove/oven overkill? Do you think a 4 gallon electric water heater is a good option? I have 3x100 amp hour lithium batteries
Like well deserved
Great job! Do you have a diagram of this like your water system ?
😊
Hi Sam, could you share a few thoughts on why you went half rubber and half copper? The copper seems a lot more intimidating, so I'd love to do all rubber. Are there drawbacks for that? Thanks! (Eric, Promaster 159 high roof, propex HS2000 and Dometic R31 range.)
I'd like to see how others made their connections especially if anyone has installed a solenoid valve. Thanks.
Were you able to figure out what size the thread is for the propane fitting on the Propex 2000?
Do you know of any gasoline powered stoves? I know you mentioned there were some available at the end of the video.
Do you have a link for the propane furnace you're using?
For rv, should I use pipe dope vs pipe ptfe?
great video! Could you use a carbon monoxide detector instead of a propane detector?
You need both as they have different functions. CO detectors protect you in the case of incomplete combustion in your appliances, but do not detect propane. And propane detectors do not detect CO.
I’m trying to find rubber hose for part of my install. Where did you source yours from? I’m having a hard time finding rubber hose that is ok for interior use.
Did you find a source? I'm hoping to just use a hose.
Do you think 1 pound cylinders are a good option if LP is only for cooking quick meals every few days? Is the connection much more complicated?
Hi I'm wondering how much propane ur heater uses eg number of cold days per 20 lb tank. Thanks
Where to locate the locker? Is at the back of the van ok?
what do you use as your stovetop? most of the stovetop that I'm finding are 110v for the ignition. I know I can use them with just a match, but wondering if there's a better option?
you'll want to look for a "piezo igniter"
Can you have the thank inside the van ??
Which two-burner stove did you get?
You didn't show where or how you branched off the propane for the propex. Any chance you could answer?
🙏✨🍀
Are carbon monoxide or water vapor output from propane heaters a concern?
For the type he has, it vents to the outside underneath the vehicle and out to the side, so there is no concern about output unless your vent is located near a door (usually passenger or sliding door, but sometimes rear doors). Your output should vent around the middle of the vehicle so that there is no risk of gasses coming back inside the van. Using portable propane heaters like "Mr. Buddy" heaters must be used with ventilation for the reasons you're concerned about. Open a window and/or turn on an exhaust fan when using portable units.
I would not mount a propane bottle directly behind the cab.... the worst accident I ever saw was a camper with LP tanks directly behind the cab... The bottles ruptured and sent flames 300 feet into the air but only spread to the side about 6 feet... that was ~ 50 years ago I can still picture the charred remains in that camper... ... I feel that had those tanks been externally mounted on the rear of the camper that couple might have survived...
Nice but not sure your comments re an all electric system stack up
Not sure about the US, but up here propane has to legally be outside of the vehicle...
Good info. However, if you want to install your system in accordance with ISO standards (mandatory for licensure in Europe) then check out the “Greg Virgoe” channel - he has a video where he goes through the ISO standard point by point. Will also give you the safest installation.
He talks like a robot. Loosen up brother
this guys a bot
Poor presentation. Too much watching someone sit there motionless and talk.
In hindsight and after rewatching it I can see that your presentation is technically good. It's just extremely dry. What it lacks is personality, levity, maybe some humor. Take a look at "Humble Road" for a comparison.
Moser Makes ignore Eric
Vinola, be sure to be like Donald Trump and only surround yourself with synchophants who tell you how perfect you are.
I think the "dryness" of it all is beneficial. There's less room for error when explaining things that are new to someone, or even dangerous, and it makes for a great reference to come back to.
