    It has already been said numerous times but deserves to be repeated. The attention to detail is exceptional. Living in Australia prevents me from using your services unfortunately but I can get ideas and inspiration by watching your videos. My new 4Motion MWB Crafter arrives this week after a very long wait so I am researching intently before starting my own build. I can see you used 2 Victron 30A DC to DC chargers. There has been some concern expressed elsewhere that the latest smart alternators may not work so well as a charging source for the house batteries. Did you find there were any issues to overcome charging from the smart alternator? Are you able to get the full 60A when it is required ? Any tips or observations to share on the electricals? And thank you for the great videos.

      I am definitely not a wrap or vinyl expert, but I think water spray is ok if you don't need to stretch and stick at the same time. If this was wet, then it would not stick properly until it was dry. This wrap vinyl has air release channels on the back to allow you to get rid of air pockets when it's applied dry.

      Because they are factory fitted cables. The end that is built into the latch has a specific shape, and it is only available from the manufacturer in one size. Even the longer cables in other parts of the door have different ends. It would be nice if it was that easy.

    • @voyageadventurevans
      @voyageadventurevans 6 месяцев назад

      There are multiple places for the water to get in. It is sealed from factory but not necessarily 100%. Resealing it yourself may still not be 100% water tight, so it's just easier to make a suitable drainage point for the water. If you can, hose the outside whilst viewing the inside. At least you may be able to add some additional sealant.

    Fantastic attention to detail, just how it should be done. I'm thinking of trying edgebanding, do you mind me asking which type of glue you use?

    • @voyageadventurevans
      @voyageadventurevans 8 месяцев назад

      You do need a good heat resistant one. If you don't, then sunlight on a dark colour can generate enough heat in the summer to melt it....or certainly soften it. In the shower, we use a curtain around any edgebanded wood whilst in the shower. You don't want to soak it, but splashes are fine.
