RV 3 Way Transfer Switch and more
There are times when designing or building an RV, we may want to provide a way to transfer between more than one 120V source.
3 Way Transfer Switch: www.ebay.com/itm/335472958264
It will become necessary to have a transfer switch to safely switch between them. But what if we need to switch between 3 sources and why would we ever need or want that?
I have come across several cases where I've needed to design a system to do just that.
So for our first example, perhaps we would like to be able to choose between shore power, a generator or a battery powered inverter. If the generator is portable, we could simply just plug the shore power cord into the generator and just have a transfer switch fo...

Ingenious 6 ft Folding Step Ladder Stores like a Stick
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.2 месяца назад
These 6 ft bi-folding step ladders are included with the Omni van builds and are stored in a square locking tube under the van. One problem though. They became unavailable in the US. So I had to order straight from the manufacturer. Since I had to order 10 of these and only need 1 to 2 a year, I have a limited number of these in surplus for sale: 🌟www.ebay.com/itm/335460502080🌟 Visit my channel...

Jayco Solar Project Wiring Diagram Explained
You definitely have a wide variety of skill sets. Impressive. How are you automating the slides? I have a disabled child that is wheelchair bound and I’m looking for ideals on lift access for a van. I like your van I would need wider walk ways. I’m thinking of building a camper on the back of a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel. I would like to utilize your slide method. Do you have any issues with the cabinet slides just being held on with small screws?
Yes
Yes
Yes Excellent design
Amazing build!
Thank you!
Wow. Amazing. Do you have a video on doing the actual extension. I'd love to know how you extended the frame and connected to extension to sidewalls and roof.
No I don't. The original Omnia (prototype) was extended differently than current builds. The main reason being availability of materials as the original was a "covid build". I could do a video about the technique when I get some time.
wow! A divorce on wheels
yes
Watched 2 min and 10 min advertising.

Wonder how this will hold up in a crash test, cutting out a part in a square construction seriously weakens the part. Just look at shipping containers, they are a stiff bullet proof box. Cut out a section from the side walls and it behaves like a flimsy cardboard box.
Yes
You're jenius Sir👍
So nice of you. Thanks!
yes
Just bought a 2011 and we have a black water tank that comes out to dump it and wondering if you did a video or know anything about that process.
I haven't done a video in detail. The process is fairly easy though. Just Google Theford Cassette potty and you will find info on it.
I have been watching van build since 2019. Your build surely the best design and best workmanship!
Thanks!
You have built the best shower and bathroom in campervan building! Great work!
Thanks!
yes

Wow this is pretty smart! Congrats!
Thanks!
Yeah actually a Video on how you did build the slideouts would be highly appreciated by me. Especially as I've not yet found a reliable yet eaysy to build solution for how to kee it waterproof dry even in heavy rain for days as we have them in Europe. Or how to keep it dry in hot vs cols weather condistions when its expanding and cointracting diue to the temperatures. Thanks in advance.

Wow! That’s impressive!
Thanks!
This is needed in the marketplace, only the price would stop me buying one. Absolutely love it, amazing.
Glad you like it! Thanks!
You are awsome ✨ I hope I will have a chance to build similar, even by my own 💃😎
Thanks for the kind words!
Are you for hire to build out a Mercedes Benz for me?
Yes
Yes

Camping is freedom. But this is opsession. Electronic for a spaceship ?!
It is a goal towards making camping easy which provides more freedom. I don’t have to worry about turning inverters on or off for example. Instead of having a bunch of guages and control panels cluttering up space, it is all available on a tablet via Bluetooth.
They are easy to use. I used mine for the first time in New Mexico in very windy conditions while placing thermal covers on my pop up camper canvas. Worked great. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching! Ladders can be found at www.ebay.com/itm/335460502080
yes
Wow, my kind of Class B. Great ideas!!!
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
why do you say 24 inches lol? just say 2 feet... thats like calling a 2 year old baby a 24 month old xD
How about 0.61 meters, lol 🙂🤣
Is this not just a very impractical and heavy tent?
Since it has a heater, air conditioner, hot water, toilet, shower, sink, stove, refrigerator, table, beds, lights & more, I would say no.
Yes
Outstanding workmanship! Well made video too!
Thank you very much!
Yes!
YES
Wow! That is absolutely amazing
Thanks!
Man, that's a lot of work.
Yes
Genius!
Thanks!
