The roof rack looks really cool! Its also definitely more stealthy - looks like a design choice or a reinforcement of some kind and it delightfully matches the other black elements of the van exterior. I think it will definitely decrease the amount of people who clock your van as a home. 10 out of 10!!
Nothin' sexier than a woman quoting "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" while working with hand tools. Great job! Also, I was LITERALLY just telling someone last night about that scare video you posted at the end and as soon as it came up as I was like "Wait, is that that video I ..." and, yep, it was!
I have an Orion on my 2023 159 Promaster and I love it. One big help was that I ordered the Loctite 504469 Silver-Grade Anti-Seize Stick along with the Loctite 248 Blue Thread-locker Stick. The stick version of these products is so much cleaner and easier to use. No mess at all.
THIS! OKAY AMAZING! Cause I think that’s what they use in their video & I knew there had to be an easier way to do it haha 😂😅 Thank you for commenting this!
The liquid threadlockers usually have a shelf life of only 2 years from manufacture, or one year from opening. Which is one reason why people say "they don't work." When the Japanese first started exporting cars to the US, every threaded part had a coating on it, so they killed the rattles and lose screws Detroit had. I bought a half dozen "sticks" of different kinds last year, hoping they have a long shelf life. But once you learn how well they work, it becomes a religion. Lug nuts, exhaust connectors, everything just WORKS. Although the antiseize manages to get EVERYWHERE if you use even a drop of it.
Yeah, it's a paste like a glue stick a child uses in elementary school. Twist the bottom to expose more loctite out the cap end top. Works like a charm. I've used it on my Honda bikes when replacing hardware.@@ToryDelury
So cool you do not have to drill into the roof to install this and lights on it is a great idea. This is all so exciting. Have a fabulous day Tory 😃 Hi Angel 👋🏻
Every Camper needs a roof rack. Thousands pro reasons. And this rail-system looks easy and useful. My Van got roof rack and trailer hook direct in his factory. They know, that his customers need it. (ie handcrafters)
Tory, thanks for recording and posting this video about the roof rack. Orion is headquartered 30 miles from my house and a mile from the 'Spruce Goose' at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum. I am familiar with this location and pass through Mcminnville whenever I go to the coast (Pacific City, Tierra Del Mar, Tillamook). Glad you have joined the community. I want to get a 2010-2020 Chevy Express Long wheel base (155") cargo van with the 6.0-liter gas engine ('L96' engine code) with a 6-speed tranny. Doing some research, the L96 is the least problematic V-8 to go with. From what I have read, it is a reliable engine and returns decent economy for a V8. Port fuel injection is a must on these Gen 4 (IV) engines. Some of these and have locking differentials and a 4x4 conversion can be done to them. I am planning on going with a high top conversion as well. How are you liking your fwd Ducato/ProMaster?
That was awesome. I was a Civil War reenactor, woke up in the morning to use the restroom (Porta potty) and looked outside, there were a bunch of cardboard horses scattered around our campground. I trotted out to one, stepped inside, put the straps over my shoulders, and trotted to the Porta potty, dismounted, used the restroom, got back on the horse, trotted back to my tent, went back in, we later did calvary drills in the horses. What a fun day.
Tory, this is my second round watching this video. I’d never really considered the weight capacity of the roof of the van and I was amazed by how little weight the van roof can hold. This makes me wonder how to reinforce the roof to meet things I want in my design. I don’t have a van yet, and due to this video, I’ll likely build a schoolie first so that I can experiment with the design I am after with a much more affordable vehicle. Thank you for this video, and others of your build process.
I keep on having a Gif in my head of Beavis and Butt-head laughing with their stupid laugh. Every time you said "rack"😂😂 great video. You are a hoot. 🤙
Thank you for making this video. I been thinking of which brand to go with for roof rack. I'm compiling a list of parts I need for my van build in March.
Hi from the UK! I just happened upon your channel, and I'm hooked! I have a lot of catching up to do, it seems, but at least I have some great content to binge on😁. I must say I am really impressed with your skills and knowledge 👌You are clearly very talented. I am rennovating a river boat at the minute, so I often get tips from the campervan world which will transfer over to a boat build.
SUGESTION- SNOW build up on roof- MOVE rack to rear a little past rear ofv van roof to let snow to melt it becomes ICE ice is heavier than snow -ANY suggestions
Super awesome sauce! My mother smelled of elderberries too. 😅 Great van build series so far. Orion roof rack honestly looks stellar. You're quite the role model, I must say. Anyway, keep them coming and beware of peril...
Eh, can't say it looks "more stealthy". In fact, it would make me more curious as to what it is. These days, when we see a large van parked anywhere at anytime, it's not uncommon to wonder if anyone lives in there. The days of stealth urban camping are over. But it looks nice.
Great roof rack. It would serve well to install a 360 security camera system on it. Cameras on the back facing forward and cameras on the front facing backward and a backup camera and some LED spot lights to light up areas. Best security for the money. Great job. That is the best roof rack I have ever seen. Well worth what ever it cost. BTW if you invest in cordless tools you work will be 10 times easier and 3 time faster.
Very nice so far!!! Daydreaming about this now, I'd get various magnetic signs to place on the outside for made-up electrical contracting and construction companies so the stealth factor is increased. Also, no window covers for the front, instead separate just behind seats with blackout curtain or sealed door/wall.
Nice Rack!...Can't wait to see the rest of it come together. Not at all sure it's really gonna be any more stealth, but I do get it. Stealth, I think, is more about not being SEEN living in your van. Looks great though. I'm gonna be "stealth" sleeping in my SUV, kind of "backpacking" by car -- not as comfortable, maybe, but I'll be able to spend more on AirBnbs, hotels, hostels and travel longer distances slowly -- I hope. Cheers!...from North Vancouver
Hi, I would put the Bouge RV walkable solar panel on the deck so you can enjoy sunsets on the roof. and they are very light and stealthy,durable! I enjoy your videos! Thanx!
@@ToryDelury have you seen it? Three blades the outer two of which can be launched like missiles. Was a top fantasy film in its time 1982 long before you were born.
As someone who is converting a retired ambulance to an RV I have to say I’m enjoying your videos very much and I am considering a heated floor and I will reach out to the Orion people to see if they can help me with a rack that will actually fit this old ambulance. Well, I on the one hand thoroughly enjoy your videos. Your tagline at the end, however, frustrates me. It’s highly unlikely that you will ever see me in your next video and I say this because you say at the end of this video that “I’ll see you (me) next time”, and that’s not true and the truth has become rather important to me these days for certain reasons. But anyway, I thoroughly love your video presentations I think it’s so much fun when you interject clips from films and multiple versions of you and so on I just really think it’s kind of cool actually.
Very nice rack! I also like the thing you put on the roof of the van 😅, it looks like it is part of the van OEM. Great detailed explanation. A little trade lingo for you 1/4 20 bolts are commonly referred to as “quarter 20” as they are very common size hardware for Many many things.
The roof rack looks like it belongs there, like it came with the van, I’d call that a win! Did you look at many of them before deciding on the Orion? Great job Tory!
Yeah! I actually researched through all the popular options with my only goal being STEALTH! Everyone constantly told me my last van was like a siren screaming camper; between the solar panels, fan, and red color. There were times I was worried about parking places or didn’t pick spots because I wasn’t that stealth so I wanted to be able to make overnight parking even less stressful with this new build. This is a sponsored video but I reached out to them after deciding what I wanted and pitched a collaboration to them & was very blessed to have them want to work with me 🌟🥂 I agree! It blends so well! ☺️ Thank you!!
Hi Tory I am waiting for the Princess Bride clips. There is no way you can like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Monty Python and the Holy Grail and not love The Princess Bride. BTW are you planning a shrubbery for the van?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't red be better for this case? Though I guess you'd be in for a rough time if you were to ever need to undo it all for any reason. Hmmm lol. That scare video was one of the OG viral videos. Its so old, that I think the first time I saw it was as an email attachment, pre-YT days haha!

The Owner of the Locktite company lobbied to stop two wheeled recreation on the land near one of his homes in Colorado. I use thread locker from others since learning that fact. Fyi, to avoid being ridiculed by trades experienced people, the L in "caulk" is pronounced silent.
Lock-Tight glue is not good for all applications. I had a tire shop that put my wheels on using it and within a week all four almost fell off, on the highway. I pulled over and every one of them was finger tight. I tightened them and when back to the tire shop where they took all wheels off and cleaned the Lock-tight off of them. The one cleaning them up said it is not good to use it on the tires because the wheels get hot from tire and brake friction, and it affects the Lock-Tight and they loosen.
Stealth camping? How about you disguise your van as a commercial vehicle? Find a sponsor who will put a colorful wrap on your vehicle advertising their product or service. It ain't cheap, but everywhere you go people will see the mobile billboard.

Again so much great advice and friendly delivery. I'm still working out how I'm going to fit solar panels .. that 80/20 could be the go!

YOU ARE A BAD A- YOU DID THAT ROOF RACK BY YOURSELF YOU GO GIRLFRIEND ❤❤❤
Great job. Love your videos.
Are you considering the walkable solar panels?
A cookie break is required on all projects 😂👍
Agreed! 🤌🏼🌟
You must put some side windows in for the police to wake you up. It can't be a passenger vehicle without windows.
☆TORY☆ Great video ! Loved the Monty Pyton bit 😂 keep up the good work ! ❤
Thank you so much!! ☺️🌟
Looks good. Pretty sure I can install it on my Econoline.
Maa... Nothing is difficult for you! You, you will turn it in helicopter 😂 you are just amazing. ❤ All what you do.. 😮
@ 4:44 (mini-LOL)
Absolutely loved the Monty Python reenactment.
You may not know it, but I think you are a great role model for young girls. Congratulations on the new roof rack.

Great job ❤❤❤
Super practical addition. Every lifer should screw one on
Great video, you monster eating a KitKat like that 😂
Roof rack looks good
😂😂😂 Thank you!!
Did you considered painting the roof rack with the same color of van for pure stealth look and make it look like a part of van?
You should have a replica of the silliest sword ever in a movie, The Sword and the Sorcerer. Very easy to wield.

How do you finance your van life?
Sorry " Tory" not Tori but you are smart you understand the things 😂
Wear your hiker boots when working off a ladder. Better footing and not as much pressure on your arches. You're doing great!
