Yeah!! Good to see you and nice job on your camera's and guidance assistance. 👏😁 For not having much time to work on the Van, it seems it's coming along pretty well. Stay safe and prepared out there, Eli.
i done something similar with two cameras one looking down for reversing and the other as a rear view mirror, helps take the guess work out when you can see exactly what's behind you.
Good to see you back Eli 👋🏽 Did you say you weren't good at electrical stuff? I find it hard to believe that you aren't good at something. You're a renaissance man. Are you the pilot in that aircraft or the passenger? Is that you at the top of that tree or are you pulling down the limbs?
I'm thinking of running a hot water line from the engine to camper shell and melt wax for heat storage. The idea is that at night the wax will liberate heat all night..
Great videos Eli! I always enjoy watching them. I think you finally motivated me to revamp my '94 G-20:) Did you recover from the AU back injury & make it back to the states? Please keep videos coming!!
Great job guys I love the way you to the high-top I just sawed found your channel just like my channel your alternative living as I do I made my high top out of wood and it's a lot cheaper the math money you save is astounded...
@@EliPetersonjp I hope so my friend get some ideas I'm like you everything I do is DIY I do it myself when I save a ton of money what's your high-top is awesome I love the way you did yours...
Not too tall, We mostly just do residential trees so there are some big old ones as well as smaller ones. I have done some climbing and am currently trying to learn how to e more efficient and up in trees so i can do more climbing
Get you 2 of those flag whips kids put on their bicycles, put one on each end of your front bumper & set them at the height of the HIGHEST part of your roof or a little lower, this way you DON'T have to watch a monitor, if the whip interferes then you know you can't go further
@@weekendlovinggypsy1737 Yes, you must be right, it must have been a guy that said this, because he is correct? Quite logical. Well done! Women of the world thank you for helping! It is difficult enough without "helpful" comments such as yours antagonizing people of both sexes. Would you find it funny if you or another were ridiculed for being female??? So why would you do it??? No one of decent emotional intellect thinks ridicule is ever ok. You have some maturing to do as a person. Try being kind and cooperative first instead of antagonizing others. Unless you are one of those people who define themself primarily by their sex rather than as a complete person. No, I won't be reading your reply, or entering into discussion with you because I think you are a sexist, you are just as bad as a sexist man. I hope you change. Cheap shots at sexism are as funny as rape jokes are. Never at all funny, ever. Humour only masks the underlying psychopathy of the person making/laughing at the joke. Try loving for the whole week, Weekend Loving Gypsy. Best Wishes for you and your loved ones.
@@sapherdana hahahahahaha wow, read between the lines much? I didn't read your response book you posted but your interpretation was all wrong. I meant that it had to be a guy cuz as a WOMAN I didn't notice because he's adorably handsome. Get your info right before responding ok! Thank you!!!!
Instead of having a message on screen telling people where to go to see the topic, why not just stop wasting people time and drop the first 3 and 1/2 mins of junk.

Oh my God that is so awesome you are so good with your tools that's unbelievable I love it to death good job
Thanks !!! Just posted a new video
i done something similar with two cameras one looking down for reversing and the other as a rear view mirror, helps take the guess work out when you can see exactly what's behind you.
Yeah I was hoping my rear camera was a bit wider angle so I could use it to look backawards as well
The roof looks like a good idea. But it must get really hot with all the sun.
i have reflective 1 inch insulation i put into the roof to keep the sun out
@@EliPetersonjp ahh, of course.
Good to see you back Eli 👋🏽
Did you say you weren't good at electrical stuff? I find it hard to believe that you aren't good at something. You're a renaissance man. Are you the pilot in that aircraft or the passenger? Is that you at the top of that tree or are you pulling down the limbs?
HAha slowly getting better at the electrical stuff. Haha not a pilot yet, just a passenger. I'm down on the ground guiding the branches down
I'm thinking of running a hot water line from the engine to camper shell and melt wax for heat storage. The idea is that at night the wax will liberate heat all night..
that would be sweet! just dont let it leak
Very very nice dude
thank you!
Where did you get the top done to your van or did you do it on your own and how long is your van and what kind of van
I did it myself, you can see it in my other videos. not sure how long but its a 15 passenger dodge ram 3500
Looks like you have enough room on the sides for a couple solar panels as well....
yup! but i have plenty of power
This is so great

Great job guys I love the way you to the high-top I just sawed found your channel just like my channel your alternative living as I do I made my high top out of wood and it's a lot cheaper the math money you save is astounded...

How tall is those trees out in your neck of woods ? R u the climber
Not too tall, We mostly just do residential trees so there are some big old ones as well as smaller ones. I have done some climbing and am currently trying to learn how to e more efficient and up in trees so i can do more climbing
we need another video!
Just put one up today1!!!
Get you 2 of those flag whips kids put on their bicycles, put one on each end of your front bumper & set them at the height of the HIGHEST part of your roof or a little lower, this way you DON'T have to watch a monitor, if the whip interferes then you know you can't go further
good idea!!!!

ahhhh dang it!!! I was worried of that. haha video editor has no spell check
@@EliPetersonjp you're ok Eli, I didn't notice and I normally do. Must be a guy that said this hahahahahaha
