    • @handyoldfart
      @handyoldfart Месяц назад

      Sikaflex should be ok but would allow a little more flex. I think it is designed more as a sealant than an adhesive. Sika has a product called Sikaflex 292i which would be closer to spec. If you use enough mechanical fasteners any sealant that bonds to painted metal and fiberglass would likely work. You might want to contact the sealant manufacturer for a recommendation as I'm not an expert in that field.

    A comment on the fuel pump for new installers. Should be at a 15° angle up towards the heater so air bubbles wont cause dry lock. 👍 I abandoned the mounting bracket and went with a combination of velcro and tie wraps. No clicking, totally silent. The rubber fuel hoses dried out from ethanol in the gasoline after two winters. Lost vacuum and fuel. Easy fix. Mufflers should be installed as close to the heater as possible weap hole down for moisture and exhaust end should taper at 10° away from vehicle off from straight down for the last 10" to avoid fire. Inside air inlet and outlet combined turns may not exceed 280° to avoid unit overheating. Side clearance for unit installation is 2" top clearance is 4" ( especially when installing inside the vehicle ). Torque for bottom bolts @ rubber gasket is 6nm. The exhaust tube should not end under the vehicle. You are allowed 6' and if you dip down and back up drill a hole for condensation to escape

    Consider grounding the frames of your solar panels to the body of the vehicle as they will pick up static electrical charge from the environment just from being on the roof. 👍 My system is going to incorporate a solar combiner box on the roof with lightning protection and grounding. I really like your method of installing that high top I wish they had done that with mine when they built my van! Nice work and good video production ✌️

    Really well done! My hightop is currently just automotive carpet glued to the fiberglass with no insulation which isn't very great since I'm in Colorado. I am planning to do something like this over the summer months. Do you think it would be worth attempting this myself or is the $1,800 that Wasatch Overland charges worth the money to get it framed and insulated? Then I would just be doing the finishing work.

    • @handyoldfart
      @handyoldfart 7 месяцев назад

      Boy that's a tough question. It all depends on what you would like as an end result and what your skills are as well as what tools and materials you have available. Also how do you want to spend your time? I enjoy building but you may enjoy using the van rather than spending weeks on the project. Sorry, it's too hard for me to answer for you. But thanks for your kind words. I will say it would be a challenging project for the inexperienced. There are no straight cuts and nothing is level or plumb.

    The foot riser on the passenger side will probably help block heat on long trips too. I drove/rode team style in a Chevy Express and after about 6 hours, the passenger floor would get pretty hot. We thought the insulation had been removed since the engine temp was okay, but it all looked fine. It just got really warm after a while.
