I’ve lost about half my interest in watching the channel after you abandoned the Trail build. But I had so much interest that that still leaves a lot of interest! Switching to a Sprinter also eliminates much of the commonality in our journeys (we’re sticking it out with the Trail). Thank you for the great videos!
We understand your disappointment about us abandoning the Trail. We were so excited to build out a Transit because we thought others would like to see a Transit Trail build. We're honored that you still have enough interest to watch our Sprinter build. When it all comes down, there's a lot of the same mind set in the journey. Thanks, more than ever for watching. Good luck with your Trail. I'm sure you'll love it.
This is exciting! I love how you have figured everything out in order of what has to be done first. I was wondering if your van is already sprayed with anti rust? I'm getting mine done next week and I'm concerned about how they will or will not get the spray in the rear parts of the van since I put insulation in the walls right down to the bottom. I wish I had done it before the build. There are little holes at the bottom of the walls to allow water to escape which is normally where they would shoot the spray into. Suzane
We're excited that you're excited! 🤗 I'm sure you know how much mental gymnastics goes into these van builds. Matt says the van has anti-rust, so we're okay with it. Good luck with all those details on your van.
We did you diesel. The Espar heater is a diesel heater. We recommend watching the Moonraker Designs video on disassembling the dash before taking it on. There are some tricky things to watch out for. @moonrakerdesign There's a link in our description to the full video.
Yes! We really wanted a skylight, but I'm not sure I've seen one installed on a short-body van. I think there's a reason for that. It's not over the bed as we hoped, but it does let in some nice light where it is. Hope you guys are enjoying the fall colors where you are. Glad you enjoyed the fall colors in the video. I just had to include them. Take care, friends.
Happy Saturday Friends, What is your experience with stock stereo systems? Would you upgrade?

I have used a Chinese diesel heater at a fraction of the cost and I’ve never had a problem. Webasto and the likes are way over priced
Thanks for chiming in. We're happy with our non-Chinese product.
you must have lots of money then, thought id chime in with that one too@@ClarityOffGrid
I would use diesel instead of propane. How difficult was the dash disassembly and reassembly for the stereo?

We are also looking for ward to the rest of your build stay safe. Happy Trails
We're honored to have you along for the journey. 🚐
Too much for me to do. Just glad to see what all goes into this work.
It's crazy isn't it? Seeing it all torn apart 😳
Looks great.
Thanks Harold! It's always nice to hear from you. It's only going to get better from here.
❤
Thanks for the love! Right back to you.
Oooooooo a skylight?!!! That will be amazing! Looks like you're moving right along, and I absolutely loved all the fall colours!
