It took me ages, but I finally figured out the liquid soap drips because it gets warm and expands during the day. Then it gets cold and contracts, pulling in air at night. Next day it heats up and that "night air" makes it too full, so it forces some soap out! They not leaking, they just aren't designed well.
For the paper towel holder, if you already have a "regular bar" type, just squish the roll a little bit to make the inner cardboard roll into an oval. Rolling problem solved.
I have another kind of “sticky” holder…works great HOWEVER, with my back doors AND my slider open, the cross-breeze always unrolls the paper towels…so I just purchased a rubber band assortment from Staples and use one around the paper towels…problem solved! Just an alternative if the problem of unrolling is persistent!
Lots of great ideas! Thanks! How do you reinforce things you’ve mounted to the walls (shelf, iPad mount)? I’m a bit worried about mounting things to our flimsy walls.
I use 3m VHB and short 3/4" screws. Put the screws in by hand and don't overtighten them. The VHB really helps hold items to the thin walls. We have not had issues with items falling
Where / how did you mount the thermostat under the van? I worry adhesive will eventually fail and we need to access it to eventually change the batteries.
It looks like the alarm clock is 115v plug-in. We have trouble with the stock inverter shutting down with low amperage load - usually in the middle of the night. I assume you've upgraded your entire electrical system, including the inverter, so you don't have a problem. Or do you use a different solution?
Few reasons. It is much easier to grab them. Also, we use key fob covers to protect the keys. The slot under the cup holder is really meant for use when the vehicle is not registering the key. Really comes down to personal preference.
Some really great, inexpensive finds! Thank you for sharing this.
I love videos like these with little van hacks. A lot of stuff you don’t think about until someone enlightens you
Fantastic video and information! I appreciate it!
Nice Knight Monsters Hat 🐉

@ thanks! I’ll give that a try.
Very nice... good video.
You should try Viva Signature Cloth paper towels. They don’t unfurl off the roll like other brands while driving down the road.
Great mods! Thanks for sharing. Is the sun visor EKKO or AMN?
Great video, thanks for the tips. I’m not seeing the link for the iPad holder.
Great video
Hi--thanks for the video--I can't seem to find a link to the iPad holder--could you provide it? Thank you!
Sorry, I added it now. Here it is as well: a.co/d/hU3p6xy
Is that black storage box locker from Agency6? It looks like it fits perfectly!

You look good in the vest:)

Zip ties
Do you have a video on attaching handle on outside of door
No, but we can make one.
What is the size and make of that larger upgraded tv you have in your EKKO? I would like to do the same in my Ekko. Thx
Thanks,
I have one of the Agency 6 lock boxes 15:59 and it’s perfect for behind the seats of a Sprinter. Quality product made in the US.
Really glad you like it. We love Agency 6

Upper arm rest pads on the doors closer to the windows?
Check out the Marv from Vince’s van gos
I took this an trimmed it. I also put a hole in it for the lock plunger as it digs into my arm
Why would you hang your keys on a hook directly above the key slot that’s specifically designed to hold the keys?
Few reasons. It is much easier to grab them. Also, we use key fob covers to protect the keys. The slot under the cup holder is really meant for use when the vehicle is not registering the key. Really comes down to personal preference.
@ definitely user preference. Non-issue for this driver.
8:13 what's the bar with all the camera mounts?
