What water heatwr is that ??

Last time I comment and then I'll move on. Why put panels on top of the van ever?. You should have a DC-DC charger from your alternator, which charges your batteries while you're getting to your camp site. So they are charged when you arrive. Park under a tree or shade if there is one. In Oz, makes heaps of sense. Pull out a large, or a couple of large, solar panels and place them away from the van, optimally facing the sun and angled back for the right time of the year. This sustains you during your stay, while the van remains cool. Once back home, you just need a 15W semi-flex panel stuck to a board of Coreflute (Bunnings), stuck to the roof, to keep the batteries topped up while it's parked and not in use. Spend a fraction of your money and time on the DC-DC setup and rid your roof of those ugly, and frankly, poorly performing panels. Better looks and better fuel economy. Cheers.

Sorry, there are some terrible rookie mistakes in this series that should not be passed onto others. If you had built another van before, your vids would be more respected. Running you 240VAC in conduit is a great tip, from a first timer to others.

So which ones Brad and which ones Jazz?

Everyone is telling me I can not cut through those vertical braces like you did one the left side near the shower wall. Have you had issues where you cut? was it structural?

Id love to watch u two go at it in the bedroom

Where did you buy the rear slider windows from in Australia. Cheers Derek

I just installed one of these. I decided to go above the trim and built a platform. Use goggles! I got a sliver of metal in my eyeball even with sunglasses.

What kind of sealant did you use on the water heater? Just regular anti-sag lap sealant?

I am researching what heater to install in my Mercedes Sprinter Conversion. I had selected the IMASS instantaneous Water heater to be installed exactly the same location as yours. Which I believe is the same as yours. I requested what else I required from the supplier for the install I had chosen too powerful a pump. Then they started suggesting other water heaters which partly use heat from the diesel hot air blower plus 12 volts to heat the water. i have solar panels on the roof. But consider heating water from the 12 volt system too big a drain. I did not like anything interfering with the 12 volt supply as it is vital for starting the van. Under my van I have a LPG tank and a water tank where the spare wheel was. My spare wheel is on the back door. If anything happens to the LPG supply it is not a big deal I can go without LPG at a push. I carry spare Diesel. I will stick to my original idea and follow you. But I will take off the plastic panels/trim from the van side before cutting the hole and raise the IMASS instantaneous water heater up 4 inches from the floor. Thank you for sharing your experience. Sikaflex is very messy stuff to work with.

I don't think they had the "no swinging the bridge" sign when we were there years ago - at least Christine didn't see it anyways! 😲😲🤪🙄

Amazing must go place in Tasmania

Terrible install, screwing into the floor, crazy! all yu need was glue pr adhesive product. no screws to make holes into the floor,

Hey Brad and Jaz I too am about to start on my build and like you watched so many vids, esp on insulation. The big thing that almost sent me astray as most on the insulation vids are designed for USA and Europe which get damn cold and snow. We in Oz do not get that unless you go up the moutains. So our climate is HOT most of the year. In looking at your vid for putting on the reflective foam unsulation to reflect the heat, 99% of the vids say DO NOT stick it to the walls of the van you must have at least a 25mm gap for it to work correctly, then another gap for your XPS board also in OZ no need for vapour barrier as the van will heat very quickly and evaporate any moisture. These are what I have been told by listening to a bucket load of vids. My question to you after all the blurb is, how did you find the insulation worked? Cheers Terry

Looks like a really cool spot to stay!

Comfy cozy vibes ❤

Wow that tiny home is BEAUTIFUL, love it. Tassie is such a lovely place to visit. Glad you got to have a holiday, you definitely deserve it. 🥰

Love Tassie. Great you guys got to have a combined trip, it’s such a beautiful part of the world down there. Love ya jacket Jazz 😁💜

How much is that Airbnb ? I want to stay there.

I'm jealous...lovely accommodation...and lovely scenery xx

That was an impressive AirBnB - hope you guys had fun in Tassie😃

Hey guys, I've just come back and rewatched because I'm up to this step! With your 240v wiring, does each cable run singly from the inverter area to each power point? Or can you have more than one point per wire? I'm running tight on space for conduit because of the way my Iveco is built but I want to do it properly! Cheers

Hi Great vids really enjoyed watching,I have just purchased a Mercedes sprinter mwb,suddenly the side door has stopped opening,how did you sort this?Cheers

Thank you for sharing 😊blissfully peaceful

Looks great..well done ..u getting a tan there Bradley, just like dad lol xxx

Coming together nicely. Keep up the good work👍

Great work guys! Can you set the cat amongst the pigeons and tell us why you Parallel Vs Series?

Great one ! So much better when you can be off grid more 😊

LOVE it guys 😊❤

Beautiful! I love the drone footage. Jaz won, of-course.

Ah, I didn’t get what you meant at first, but the demo explained it.

Only in Australia are you morally obligated to give chocolates to the flight attendant once you arrive without crashing! 😆

Hi, Chelsea and Mike here. We have never been this side of the world. It was great. We really want to go now ! Wow great. We have liked and subbed to see more from you! Chelsea and Mike

I made the mistake of watching this on a Monday morning 🙄Now I don't want to work 😂 Such a pretty place to visit.

What a beautiful vlog guys . My mum was born and grew up on a farm in Ceduna and still has a few family in streaky bay, I sent her the link to watch . The most stunning coast line I’ve ever seen. Love the music and drone footage . Look forward to the next one ! Xx

Just beautiful out there, I loved the years I got to spend so much time out there. Grandad loved it too 😊💜

Amazing edits guys. Looks like a great trip well done 👌. Love the drone footage

Looks so nice there. Love the drone shots! ...and you guys suck at bowls neither of you won 😂

nice fishies, didn't catch any octopus did ya? nice vid team!!!

Wow that was excellent, even the music suited .real pros....we loved having u stay here with us in our litte paradise . Thanks for sharing ..x

Jaz - I touched it so I win 😂 beautiful edit guys x

That would have been good to get an idea of what not to do toy your own van.

Looks all professional.

Decorating that wheel arch looked fun

Everyone focuses on just cutting the hole. That’s the easiest part. What about your wiring? What about the frame you made underneath? Tips on that stuff would be so helpful but very difficult to find on youtube

Amazing vid guys, cool to see you hit the road and have a little getaway

Cool trip guys! Did you do any Op Shops? There are some good ones in Horsham! 😊

Funnn weekend away guys! Cute little edit ❤

Oh nice way to try it out! Hope the surprise was a surprise 😁💜

Always fun to get away..glad no major problems xx
