Converting an Old Work Van into a Camper Van: Installing a Heater
Просмотров 33814 дней назад
It’s time to install our diesel heater! Melissa and I primarily travel in the winter and to colder weather destinations so a heater was an absolute must for us. This heater is installed underneath the passenger’s seat and uses the fuel line to warm up the van. We then installed a seat swivel which was so kindly gifted to us by the swivel shop. Our leather upholstered seats we found on Facebook ...

Join us as we convert our 2013 Mercedes Sprinter Van, who we named Flo (short for Rust Bucket Floor) into the camper van of our dreams! In this video, we installed our Maxx air fan, cut out our sub floor, sanded, filled dents, taped, and finally painted our van. We used the raptor liner in the shade Sandstone.

Congrats!! Happy travels!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!! ❤️❤️
This is dope as hell, super good diy work! Would love to do something like this myself one day
Thank you! I hope you get the chance to!
I'm pretty sure that nobody gives a fuck about #vanlife anymore. That stupid fad has passed long ago. It's in the grave with Gaby & Brian.
If you don’t want to see van life content, then don’t comment on it 😂 otherwise the algo is just going to show you more ❤️
Clean asf 🔥
nice vid , but the volume of the background music is a bit higher side ? :)
It was haha! The other videos should be a little better!
Hi there, just a random video flicker here haha Not to sure where you guys are from, however in Australia around 90% of vehicle windscreens are held in by glue or better known as Sikaflex - ( 227 I believe ). Other vehicles like the Toyota 75 & 79 series and a few other Makes and models are held in by rubber.. If your ever in a vehicle crash, place two feet together and kick the top corner of the front window and the glass shoould kick out … Ex windscreen fitter knowledge. Otherwise use the doors pending the situation hahah Wishing yous the very best and safe travels
Smh....
Siu
Why blur your license plate? You can pay for an address blocker on your plate.
They probably don't know that
Because blurring costs nothing
@@ChannelJoris fair but editing mistakes can slip through. I’d rather pay and be safe.
some people value their privacy! what’s wrong with that?
@@JakeCrawford it’s just a lazy way to protect your privacy. I’d rather pay to make sure I don’t mess up an edit and slip my address to millions of creeps.
Looking good!
My shoulders still haven’t recovered from the caulk gun..
I just found your channel and I love watching the build process! I'm buying a used van later this month and am gonna convert it too. So excited to see how your van turns out! I will be taking notes. 😊
Just get divorced…
Tom 🤝 meet joke
the rubber need to go inbetween the bottom of the window frame and the door its for extra absorption
Do you mean the plastic pieces we were talking about?
@@MelissaandKyle yeah its for extra schock absorption
Where do they go?? 😅
I love the ingenuity, but with it being under your bed especially please get an electrical inspection maybe two different inspections and sets of eyes on the setup yall are doing if you haven’t already planned to do so.
Is it solar? I believe that is a good way to keep those recharge
We will be adding solar panels on the roof! You can also charge up the batteries with the van itself
Great job
What to take the time and hit every nook and cranny! Lookin good 👍
Thank you!!
LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!
Just subscribed. I don’t have a van, but a 1949 jeep truck for overland. Just looking to watch other creators. My neighbor has a Ram promaster van he’s building for Van Life. Just finished installing solar + 4 battleborn batteries.
Hi fellow Kyle! We’re also doing battleborn batteries too!
The van is really coming together!! I love it! 🥰
This one was fun!
Kidnapper van vibe. Lol. Just throw a "Free Candy" sign and your solid
I love it yall did a wonderful job. I know yall got something special, you’ve just earned a new subscriber!
Thank you so much ♥️♥️
That chest bump transition had me Rollin 😂
The things we do for the algorithm 😂
Y'all need to grow up buy a real home and start a family
Dude I'm 30 and debating on making a house on my truck or a trailer. Owning land is expensive. Even just getting approved for a loan means you need debt to pay off over TIME to build up the credit. Seeing a build out of a concrete van is cool. Rather see this than some rich kid that has all the latest gadgets.
@@lylewolfe8154thank you Lyle!! Best of luck to you ♥️
Idk, growing up is kind of overrated. I’m trying to live all my childhood dreams (oh and I do own a house and have a family)
This is one of the reasons why I can't see myself buying a home or being rooted in one spot. My van build will allow me to be agile and move to better places if the one I'm at is not acceptable. I hope you get free of that place. That is harsh living.
Move to Greenville SC 😉
Weee I always think it's so cool watching people drive around the country in vans, so this is fun seeing the behind the scenes! Can't wait for the travel adventures
Thanks Briana ♥️♥️
Love y’all! And love this journey!
Its funny that last summer Jeff and Julie and I were talking about van life videos on youtube and now Jeff is on one. :-)
You are guys are so cool!!! So excited to watch your journey
Yessss this is so fun!
Such hard work but it looks so good already! Excited to watch your journey 🎉
Thank you 🫶🏼
That's the Veal way to git'ter done. Looks good, ya'll
Yooooooo!!!! This looks so good!!!
Yooooo! Stoked to see this journey. It looks sick already
So excited for next week!
If you have bolts left over and it’s together and functional, it just means you made it more efficient
I like the way you think 😍
Tip the whole van over? 😂 also don’t know that I recommend trusting all of your weight in that bottom flange. Yes that’s a lift point but they aren’t really meant for sideways pressure, what you’ve got going on here. I hope it doesn’t break I’m just skeptical of the bottom mounting position.
They’re all mounted to the bottom like that so there’s not really any other option
Closing your eyes is for sure Osha approved!
Probably safer than goggles, even!
Hey it's the "Dumb and Dumber" dog van!!!
Guys.. little heads up here .. Bed liner doesn’t protect against UV radiation. Within 12 to 18 months your paint will start to peel and fade . And within 24 months probably lose all its protective aspects .. this is where cheap may come expensive in the long run …. There is a reason people use this under the car and in their trunk…
Nice jumps and editing guys!! Lolol van looks good 👍
Thank you!!
Nice
Let’s freaking goo!! You love to see the progress
Tf Bedliner
People use it to paint the inside of their truck bed
are you guys in Portland?
No we are in middle TN!
Just a tips for the inside. Sandblast it its much easier. Becuase you don’t want the dust to come back arter 1 year.
What dust do you mean coming back in a year?
@@MelissaandKyle i meant rust
@@MelissaandKyleIf the rust is not 100% removed, which is hard to achieve with a wire brush, even on a drill, it's going to start rusting at the same spots again. I would recommend sandblasting it first, then using an epoxy ground coat.
@@Frej426oh I understand now. Thank you!!
