    @10:42 The way you have the battery set up with the positive and negative are really close and you’re just whacking a way at it. I thought for sure the video was going to cut.

    Beautiful van. Is that gas mileage realistic? Seems high for a large van.

  • @PatricesProjects
    @PatricesProjects 2 года назад

    This is an awesome first build. Love the shower and the deep sink. The layout really seems to maximize the space well. With gas prices as the are, this would be ideal for a full time van life person.

    You’re wasting tons of money on the 1lb propane tanks, plus throwing them into the environment to rot for the next several 100 years. It would be worth investing in one of the 5lb propane tanks. They are refillable (as are the smaller tanks, btw) and will save you the repeated purchase of tanks. Really nice build!!

    out of curiosity, how are you measuring your wheel torque? my favorite part of this vlog was when you increased the lever arm to increase torque - nice move, classic T=r x F! would love to see more shawn content in the future he seems goated

    • @bensgode
      @bensgode 3 года назад

      Good question! Highly recommend picking up a torque wrench next time you stop by the depot. You can set the torque spec and it will click when you have reached it.
