Tour of "Synchronicity" our 2023 RAM Promaster Van Conversion we built in 2 months
Просмотров 4912 месяца назад
Sue and I purchased a 2023 Promaster 159WB High Top van. With the COVID back up, it took six months to arrive. It took us about 2 months to have it 90% done and we started using it. We now have had it for a year and have put around 10K miles on it. We are very happy with how it turned out and thought we would share a walk thru. #vanlife #vantour #promaster Here is some of the equipment we insta...
Installing a Sliding Door Hidden Step in Promaster Van
Просмотров 5795 месяцев назад
We love our Promaster Van Build. We were using a Harbor Freight step stool to get in/out of the sliding door. The problem was that it wasn't always steady and we had to store it some where. I found a low-profile Stromberg Carlson Manual RV Step that installs nicely. It only took me about an hour to install. I had to drill out three 5/16" holes in the van frame (I used one existing hole). I used...
Blue Heron Bobbing Wind Toy

I love wind toys. I've designed quite a few wind spinners. I live near a nature preserve that hosts many different birds. We often see big Blue Herons silently standing in the marsh. They suddenly bob their head down and grab a fish. I thought I'd try to make a wind toy that bobs up and down. The Prusa XL with 5 heads is great for easily printing these multi-color projects.

RYOBI Carving, Filleting, Foam Cutting Electric Knife

When I see a useful idea for a RYOBI tool, I prototype it and hope the user community can convince RYOBI to make one. While working on my Promaster Van Conversion, I found a need for a carving knife to cut the bed/seat cushion foam. I decided to prototype an 18V and a 4V USB version. I think it would be a great product for carving meat, filleting fish, and cutting foam. Here are my results. I p...
Making Clear Replacement Parts: Pros & Cons of of 3D Printing, Silicone Molds, and Heat Forming

I was trying to help a friend make some replacement parts for his Tonka Toy Collection. He needed a clear windshield for his Clipper Boat.

So I tried making a Silicone Rubber mold to pour an Epoxy part. I also tried laser cutting C...

    Can this system be run with a higher watt inverter? Like he uses a 300w but could you technically run a 1000w or 1500w inverter on this? I know the power would drain faster. But these are power tool batteries designed to run fairly high demand appliances, I would hope you could at least power a griddle for a few hours or so
