OMG, I cringed when i saw that.Good luck with the rain and rust in those huge holes. Regardless of the silicone. Also lowered the value of the car drastically. Poor girl
Your solar panel is the perfect size and shape for your FIT! May I suggest using 3/4" wooden planks to build your bedframe. These are cheaper and much lighter. If you decide to stick with the 2x10's or 2x12's, you can drill them holes in them reducing the weight of the bed frame by at least 30% #SafeTravels friend. I hope to see you out on the road.
The way he just drilled through the roof of the car like that proves how unprofessional this guy is, he basically attached that entire roof setup to the weakest and thinnest part of the roof. I wouldn’t want this guy touching anything I own.
yeah I like the idea of this build other than the heavy ass bed and the roof rack design. should've just used an off the shelf rack like the dude with the gen3 fit vanlife build. otherwise if he just used a light material for his frame and cleaned it up a bit this would be sick. Still isn't bad.
For the 'background' music. Best to fade out to lower volume, when talking. Be good to see a productionized version. Especially one that doesn't involve screwing into the roof.😊
Nice editing, really well done video. I like how you went a little higher with the bed platform to give yourself just that much more storage. I'm actually about to built a rooftop solar shower on one side just like you, you did a great job on that custom roof rack, let me know how you like it! Want to do an awning on the other side though, just to extend the 'house' a little. Great stuff keep it coming!!
Just wondering how you cook? Is it away from the car? I saw another Fit video where the guy had a sliding piece of wood, under the bed, that he could pull out to cook on.
about 7 gallons with the 4 in pipe, any more and it will be too heavy, 7 gallons is about the max weight you want to put up there on the roof. Enough for a quick shower for 1 person or plenty for daily dishwashing and basic water needs.

Why didn't just install a Honda roof rack and then install your stuff to the rack without destroying your roof by drilling holes?
That's exactly what I was thinking
He's an electrician I'm assuming cus this was the dumbest thing I've ever seen just ruined the car smh 🤦

@@aaronweiser5421it’s also just a garbage Japanese brand, no matter what it’s worthless Japanese junk. Also he probably owns Japanese car now.

Opa maravilha.. ideia top ..

Just excellent.... But i don't think I will be drilling holes in the roof of my Jazz...( What the Fit is called in Australia).
The way he just drilled through the roof of the car like that proves how unprofessional this guy is, he basically attached that entire roof setup to the weakest and thinnest part of the roof. I wouldn’t want this guy touching anything I own.
He should have drill on the frame of the roof, its more rigid and way stronger.
It’s not his car.🧐

Its that girls car, i feel sorry for her..
If you need to get to your spare tire, do you have to remove the frame (and presumably your solar setup inside the trunk area) first?
I was thinking the same thing
Love how those puzzle pieces FIT!
Thanks for the video, how long is your bed ?

Just wondering how you cook? Is it away from the car? I saw another Fit video where the guy had a sliding piece of wood, under the bed, that he could pull out to cook on.

Ciao ragazzi, ma che bella idea, lo farò anch'io, mi sono appena iscritto al vostro canale
Grande! Spero che tu abbia trovato questa build e le idee utili per la tua build.
Sorry but Im a noob to this but how big of a water tank does this setup carry? Have the same car.
