We are Duca and Roberta, a Brazilian couple that during a sabbatical trip in 2016 decided to follow our dream. So, we created "Odd Life Crafting", a project composed of many smaller projects that we call seasons.
The first one was the creation of Odd Life Crafting. The idea was to build a metal boat to be able to travel the world taking our house with us, but we didn't have money for that. So, we started the next season: we built a tiny shipping container house with no prior experience in building to gain some skills to build a boat. When we were almost finished we found a boat 700km away from our hometown that was neglected for over 22 years and we spent 2 years refitting her (Season 3). On the season 4 we sailed for 2 years (exploring the Brazilian coast and part of the Caribbean), we sold our boat and we moved to Europe. The last season we are starting to build a new aluminum 43ft sailboat and a new life.
We hope to inspire others to follow their dreams.

Ducca, your a celebrity! Roberta, we are all praying for you and the baby. Great episode, so flowing and full of informative information.
Duca is the most meticulous person I've ever watched. Attention to detail a must. This is going to be best boat and van build I've ever seen and I can't wait. Power on!👍👍👍
🥰
So glad you gave a great explanation of why you are building your camper/van. Now we understand how you are gaining experience for when it’s time to start building the interior of your boat. 👍
☺️
As always...you two brighten my day. Even when things go sideways, you push ahead with a positive atttude and smiles. Thank you for continuing to share your journey from tiny house, to ODD, to conversion van, to ODD 2.0! We're with you all the way!!! 😎⛵👍
🥰
I really enjoy the way Duca explains everything in a way that even I understand how a system works together. ❤ sending love and hope everything is well and on track for the arrival of the new crew member.
Duca and Roberta Yous are always happy welldone videos 👏
Great progress, can't wait to see how the solar generator performs !
Interesting video nice to see the electrical work starting 2x👍
Hey Jasmeen here, Amazing work !
Hello Friends. Just one thing. May or may not be critical depending on how much power you're going to put through the system. Inverters and charge controller need to be mounted upright. They are designed to disperse heat from the heat sinks better in the upright position and should never be mounted sideways. Just ask Xantrex if they will still warranty the unit mounted like that. If you're ever in doubt about mounting gear, always best to ask the people that manufacture it. Enjoying the build.
Hi, Justin. Here is the unit manual xantrex.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Freedom-XC-Inverter-Charger-230V-Owners-Guide-975-0821-01-01_Rev-C_ENG.pdf you can see the mounting options on the page 25
@@OddLifeCrafting I should have known you had done your homework nice job
Boa tarde Roberta e Duka.😊😊😊😊😊
Olá 😊
Fantastic work being done here. This is going to be an easier van to live in as everything is being thought through carefully. Things are looking great so far. Keep well and safe. James.
☺️
Looking good Roberta!! Ducca,,,, well I guess you look ok too. LOL.. Great episode, thanks. Looking forward to the boat stuff but you gotta show what you gotta show. I'll be here. :)
Great progress though! You guys are doing an amazing job!
Thanks 😊
You're doing a great job.
Duca é muito bom no que faz.Otima explicação e é bom ter bons amigos.Esta Van e o veleiro serão uma beleza.Voce está muito bem Roberta,radiante e bonita.Um grande abraço amigos😊😊😊😊😊
☺️
Take care folks.
Good job Guys Blessings to you both
☺️
Glad You got the Xantrex inverter, it's good to have a reliable one!
☺️
Maybe you should consider creating an overview video of the whole boat renovation from the beginning to the end. Watch how Drew Builds Stuff does that on his channel. He provides background comments on how he does stuff and gets millions of views on these videos. Not everybody enjoys watching hundreds of half hour videos one by one, but an hour and a half video of the whole project with explanation is really popular!
I retired from the oilfield as a truck driver. We had to leave our trucks out on location at night. We installed Webasco heaters on our engines. When it was -25° f, it was 20 minutes of running time and engines were at 140°f, on about a cup of diesel fuel( that's about 250ml).
Thanks for the feedback ☺️
Eu lembro muito bem que a eng• Roberta entende muito bem de eletricidade no tempo do Odd, sigam em frente .😂😂😂😂😂
😁
Roberta is looking radiant, She's looking healthy with the pregnancy, can't wait to see what you guys have a boy or a girl.
Thanks, Pete. In this video you will find the answer if the baby is boy or girl 😁 th-cam.com/video/eiIOFmxZHq4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=R8I-ccWqsQnly4at
Nice work!
☺️
Ter bons amigos realmente é tudo de bom🙌🤩 Saudade de vocês meus Amores❤️❤️❤️
🥰😘
Great job.
wow ! DIY done by Odd Life Channel is so much fun but did u see the 'half' shower that was great idea!
❤🎉 From Thailand. More 2 years following both of you till start yr boat and till follow you. sawatdee krub
🥰
Love you guys! Stay well. ❤
💕
Thx
☺️
Shrink tubing can be internally stretched to fit. There are limits to the stretch. I use a pliers on the inside for dimension change. Excellent segment as always.
I think from 16 to 50 is too much to stretch 😁
They have a liquid electrical tape that works very well when you don't have heat shrink. It is a solid seal from moisture and other contaminates as I have used it for many years................ enjoy
It’s coming from Brazil in 2 weeks 😁 Duca’s dad is bringing it to us, we couldn’t find a good brand here in France ☺️
Leave it to France to put needless roadblocks in your way. I am sure you could do a better installation of the heater system than any shop in France.
I’d make a temporary wooden cover for the shower try whilst working inside the van 😉 I just know if it were me, it’d get damaged 🙄
We are gonna start working on the shower cabin around it as soon as possible ☺️
Great video thank you. In case you don't already know you should check out the Festool Domino Joiner system. I find it indispensable for almost every kind of joinery with solid wood and plywood. It's quick and easy like the Kreg system but far superior in strength durability and accuracy. It's a fantastic tool that has revolutionized cabinet and Furniture building.
Duca was checking it yesterday. It’s so expensive!!! But for sure it’s one of the best options ☺️
@@OddLifeCrafting yes they are expensive but they are unbelievably versatile. Once you get one you'll never go back to the Kreg jigs. I typically use Domino's and screws together for building plywood cabinet boxes. For solid wood joinery I usually use clamps. It's a precision machine that makes really accurate joints. I think even Duka would be impressed! There really is nothing else like it. I would never be without one for woodworking.
Always Good vidéo and Nice job 👍💪❤
💕
We got progress👏
☺️
How is it possible? Roberta looks younger every time I watch her pregnancy develop. It's magical and I am enchanted. C'est formidable et charmant.
🥰
I know building your boat is expensive, time consuming &
Nerve racking.
I’m staying with you.
But good lord knows I want to see you back on the water.
Maybe more than you. lol
Just be you & do your thing , your way.
Destination is a 6 foot hole in the ground.
Your in da middle of your journey no matter wear it leads you. ENJOY 🤠
One more step was done.
☺️
I have to make all the same decisions and installation on my sailboat. Can you make a list of parts that you used available, maybe in the comments? I know I need almost all the same parts you used, I just don't know how or where to spec them.
We are planning on finishing the installation this week, so the next Sunday’s video we are gonna give more details about it ☺️
Not Odd 2.0...it is the OTV or Odd Terrain Vehicle
Well I watched it again on TH-cam! $$❤❤❤🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼

Homologate definition: to approve; confirm or ratify by an official agency.
😉
ODD on wheels?
☺️
Je vous souhaite bien du plaisir pour faire homologuer votre fourgon en France. Ce pays est bourré de normes. Je parle en connaissance de cause car j’y habite depuis ma naissance. Lol
Hi both, just be aware that just like in May, France will shut down in the month of August
We know, it was like this last year. We are planning a trip during this period 😁
@@OddLifeCrafting sorry, just thought it was worth a reminder.
Good luck to you both
Great job but you’re losing a lot of space with the thickness of the walls. Awesome work though.
It was designed for this, it’s a 15mm poplar plywood. Thinner than this wouldn’t hold the equipments 😬
Homologate?
Oui. Un organisme d’état qui s’appelle la DREAL vérifie que le véhicule a été transformé dans les règles en vigueur dans le pays. sécurité des installations, poids du véhicule etc. Un casse tête compliqué.
