    CONGRATS 💪 to Humble-Road for gravitating to these more simple and elegant (hassle-free) toilet systems... Whew ❗ Yet another example of George's wisdom....

    • @robmagu65
      @robmagu65 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Simple and elegant? It's a glorified bucket. I looks 'gross' when it's empty, imagine when it's full and your carrying a bucket of 'sh!t' to the campground bathroom. This is not anywhere close to hassle free.

    • @LJ-jq8og
      @LJ-jq8og ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@robmagu65 Wow... As someone who has USED every high-end system that exists, including natures-head, and class A motorhome fixed toilets... It is apparent to me that you obviously "don't get it"...
      AFTER you have personally attempted to CLEAN and maintain all those expensive (pun intended) POS 💩systems only then come back and express an "informed" opinion to us...
      Good luck Rob...

      @lisakuehn6436 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree. I use something similar but it doesn’t separate 1&2 so I will budget to upgrade. I like this one. I usually only camp for 2-3 days at a time.

    • @gregoire8376
      @gregoire8376 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      My wife won't get near any RV of any model or class with a cassette or "more elegant" equivalent toilet.
      5 or so gallons of anything is also pretty heavy and cumbersome to lift and pour into another container, without spilling a drop!!

  • @bwbrady8372
    @bwbrady8372 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I know from two years experience in our van that it’s better to have the head of the bed on the driver side (where the tall, deeper cabinets are) because:
    1. If you ever need to park and sleep at a curb, think about how roads always slope.
    2. If one person is in bed sleeping and the other person is up (sitting on one of the swivels) with a light on, the sleeping person’s head is tucked behind the tall cabinet, away from the light.
    3. When the person on the rear side of the bed has to get up in the night, it’s a little easier to climb over (and around) their partner’s legs, than over their mid section.
    $5-600 for a plastic bin masquerading as a toilet, is just as crazy as $1300 for a Nature’s Head. Especially when you can buy a porcelain flushing toilet and a black tank for under $350. Totally worth the extra plumbing, IMO.
    I’d choose the chain rather than the pullout support because of the space lost inside that cabinet.
    All that said, as always, George’s vans are works of art. Beautiful!

    This is torturous! Every build you show, I'm like, "I want mine done like that!" Then you show the next build, "I want mine done like that!" then you show the next build...etc, etc, etc... Each and every one is so ridiculously perfect...I can't decide!!! Thanks for making it so difficult for me! 🤣

  • @AlexandruNeagu
    @AlexandruNeagu ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have been building vans for some time now, and also watching a lot of other builders on TH-cam, and i must say in 4 years i have never seen custom builds that engulf the level of engineering you do on your builds, it's amazing!!

  • @simonaranica8182

  • @pamelabraman7217
    @pamelabraman7217 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Good morning George
    The preplanning you do for future access is AWESOME!
    And here's a thought for the shower curtain, have rings large enough to pass over the connection point in the middle of the support rod, slide the rings on half the rod and then join them together. 🤔

  • @lizchilders4154

    Fabulous van. Such details! I love, love, love that quilt with it and your wood carvings to bring it all together. They are going to love this van.

  • @ryveralexander8511
    @ryveralexander8511 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love everything about this van, I also liked my right side open window, so I can see driving, I felt secure driving ,instead of reallying my side mirror!
    Big sink a must to bath my 2smll dogs! Clean color, no dark color for me.
    Windows are my friends!
    You're a genius Sir, Humble.

    Thanks for sharing George !

  • @tug1345
    @tug1345 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    I like how, on the kitchen counter you made use of the recess in the side of the Transit van, giving useful extra width or depth to the counter top, it's another great looking build George, I can see why you have a backlog or waiting list for builds, they're all quality and well equipped with useful amounts of power from solar,batteries and alternator, some van builders undersize those meaning too much reliance on campsites, the ability to camp anywhere is a real luxury

    • @HumbleRoad
      @HumbleRoad  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Thank you! I will cover all the specs in PART TWO

    • @OMGWTFLOLSMH
      @OMGWTFLOLSMH ปีที่แล้ว

      Although the execution was top notch, I wasn't a fan of the pull out seat and pull out table support at the end of the cabinet. That is a ton of wasted space that could otherwise be used for storage. I'd be good with a telescopic pole to support the table.

    Maybe on the shower curtain in the back use carabiner clips… easy on, easy off and easy to slide side to side if needed…
    Otherwise… an amazing build as usual!

  • @jessicadentalaid4728
    @jessicadentalaid4728 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    For the tedious-to-put-together shower curtain: instead of Velcro straps, make them hard metal loops that fit over the midline-attachment of one or the other of the two half poles, then slide the rings over onto one half-pile, snap the pokes together, then the rings will slide across both poles if the metal tinges are big enough. Much easier than those velcro straps :)

    • @lisakuehn6436
      @lisakuehn6436 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sure, just slide pole through the Velcro loops before joining.

As for boardwalk in the shower, the time and thought put into designing it is beautiful, but beauty doesn't always have to be seen (by everyone.....for the most part). As whatever that beauty is *made of, it will forever be appreciated (compliments of whatever experience ......due to its longevity and *consistency). I'm sure that whoever this belongs to, they will enjoy it.
