Safe installation of gas/propane is something that is often either glossed over or not done sufficiently. In Australia however, it is the law that you must have your propane only accessible from the outside with it being fully sealed on the inside. You must also get a professional gas fitter to fit of the gas lines!

I don’t ever comment. But you seem to be so lovely. Please start using your new channel. Double drop if you want. You have a faithful following - own it! X
Aww well that just makes this one all the more special! Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
And I do plan on starting to put some videos on my ‘Max & Occy’ channel as well. You’ve got to understand I’ve made some commitments to filming the build on this channel and it works for me to do so. But make no mistake, I have not forgotten about the other channel 😉
I love this community ❤️❤️❤️
@@MaxLeeandOccy Lots of people love you, Max. Am itching to see more travels.
@@MaxLeeandOccy
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDY, I WISH YOU THE GREATEST BIRTHDAY YET. THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR MAX ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW WHILE HE'S BUILDING HIS FUTURE!!!!
Max,
I 2nd MadeInThePriory, part of promoting yourself is to move on, (not to sound harsh mate, I understand, I've been there, someone else made her own channel and has yet to post anymore than an intro). You really should post these videos on your Max & Occy Channel. To advertise your new Patreon account on this channel when your starting something new, but still post on here is gonna confuse the bejeebus out of some people when you start posting the build on the new channel and not on here, and that runs the chance of losing followers because they can't be bothered to take a few seconds to figure out where to find the next video.
My suggestion would be to post the build on both, it's 2 clicks instead of one in essence, so that we who are still with ya can choose and show you our support for you on the new channel, that will also help establish the new channel with youtube so that you can start monetizing sooner. Then when Occy is with ya, GO FULL ON with the Max & Occy Channel.
I'm looking at this from a marketing point of view for ya. Start pushing the new channel, it's the new channel that's gonna be your future. I'm still on this channel because your here, otherwise I would have unsubbed already. I'm also Subbed to your new channel, literally moments after you initially announced the channel. When that video ended I was already opening the new channel with the link and in seconds subbed ya, no hesitation about it at all. Move on mate. It's the best thing for ya. I realize there may be other reasons you haven't mentioned, in fact I'm sure there is. If so, work it out and promote yourself more by using the future channel, it'll be better in the long run. I plan to stick with ya no matter where you are mate!
Peace, Happiness, Love and Laughter,
Keep Safe All,
-Matt
Come on guys cut him some slack, he’s obviously made a business arrangement with lee to put the build on here. Remember when there’s a breakup there’s lots of financial stuff to sort out. I’m sure the new channel will get the attention as soon as max is able.
Until then , let’s just enjoy the build.
@@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310 I'm not bagging on Max, I'm looking out for him. I'm aware of the breakup and have been through it myself a few times. It's not an easy thing, I know, but I also know, and I'm positive Max knows this to, he's not a newborn. My comment says all of what you're saying and more to him, it's in no way being hard on him. Maybe reread what I wrote and you'll see that being the case. I guess what I'm also doing is giving Max some tough love. I think highly of Max and want to see him prosper with the new journey, oh an I am enjoying the build.
HAH "I hope I don't Eamon this one" hahaha
LOL 😂🤣 Epic!! Shots fired Eamon!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
😂
@@eamonandbec I hope I haven't started a battle I can't win.. 😂
A much nicer way to say 'I hope I don't d!*k this' one referring to the guy and the job
@@MaxLeeandOccy Well, you might have... I think I would have sikaflexed the back side of the black trim at the leading edge to the van side to prevent any air coming under. I know you did the inside well but every little bit helps in the battle to keep out moisture.
when I paused the video i just thought well if you mess it up, hey! doggie door for Occy!🤷🏻♀️😋😁
Haha yasss! Why didn't i think of that 😉
OMG - I laughed out loud at that!! That would be a 1st!! Great mind you have!!
Ok ladies is it just me or has he gotten his swag back...he is smiling quite the smile and he is game on in this video.
I am loving the confidence and almost flirtatious Max!
Your following is going to go up!!
Agree! He’s so charming! Love him
I agree , hes adorably handsome
Kimberly Pura Vida Max was always the engaging one, with a keen understanding that people tune in if you are pleasant and don’t bring the drama. Lee is sweet but a bit subdued for this type of venue, I think.
I totally agree! He's so adorable.
He's got his swag back! I think he's fabulous. And I'm old enough to be his mother ;)
"I hope I don't Eamon this one!" 😂🤣😂
Happy birthday, Judy! 🎉💐🎁🎂
😉🤗
Thanks mate, passed on!!
Happy Birthday, Judy.
I’m a suburban mom with no intention of ever living in a van but I find these videos flip’n entertaining!
I would love one for glamping but not full time
Andrea S me too! Although my son is considering it so maybe I’ll understand something when he does.
Haha love that Andrea!
@@BethC458 I have a childhood friend who lives in Arizona and they go to Montana every summer (retired)and camp for 5 months because Arizona gets so hot. She is hoping they can still do it this year in spite of Covid . Normally they leave mid April.
ThePeachygal I am hoping to convince my husband to do the same thing. He is slowly beginning to watch the reno videos with me. 😉
The sheep bits are killing me! Your reaction to the “sheep stampede” last video! 🤣👌🏻🤣 Also, referencing Eamon. Amazing!! You’re helping all of us feel connected in this little van-life universe here! 💞🙏🏻 Also, I don’t think any of us could feel any better about you all being such good friends. Thanks for spreading the happy!! 😁🙏🏻😁
I completely forgot the most important part of this comment!! To wish you the happiest birthday of all time Judy!! Hope you’re feeling the mass of love we’re sending your way! (Your cameos make me squeal with joy!) 😆❤️👐🏻
"A Man and his Sheep "....A 2020 love story , great video
😂😂😂
Less than 20 seconds in and I have a huge smile on my face! Hhaha best start to the video!!
A smile and concern I'm sure Erin. Those sheepies are gonna miss me as much as I miss them!
@@MaxLeeandOccy You're a bhhhhaaaddddd man Max leave those sheep alone!
Max & Lee of course 🤗❤️
"I hope I don't Eamon this," OMG!!! Hahaha shots fired! My guess, IT FITS!
Never thought someone could keep me entertained with a van build :) You have great energy, Max! Thank you!
Anyone elts watch the max & Lee channel religiously like it's a new episode of your favourite TV show or is it just me? Cant wait for the max and occy travels...eeeeeek so excited.
Max and Occy Patreon, here I come💛👍🇦🇺❤️🇨🇦🐾🐾
Stoked to already see you over there 🙌🏼❤️
Love how you stop to smell the roses while you work..or should I say you stop the see the wildlife!
Another great video!
Really just excited for your travels!
It will fit... Back to the video...You are so meticulous as you go about your build. The sheep will surely keep coming around to check on your progress. Your dry humor adds to the fun of watching along. Please wish Judy the happiest of birthdays.
It is definitely going to fit the first time! You've learned from the window installs. I have complete faith!! 🤣🤣🤣 @ wet finger technique!! Happy, happy birthday Judy!! I hope that you have a great day celebrating! ❤️
As someone who just learned what “van life” is, I really appreciate these videos! I’m learning so much about what it takes to build a tiny home on wheels. Thank you for the educational and entertaining content. Love it! I’ll be subscribing to your new channel!
Stoked to hear you're enjoying them Naomi! And thank you for coming across 🤗
So excited to see you’ve got your Patreon up, I’ll head over there now! Can’t wait for Occy to be home, our pups have missed seeing him too! ❤️ Happy Birthday to Judy, hopefully we will see more of her in future vids!
Aww thank you Abby, really appreciate that!! I will pass on the birthday wishes 🤗
I think occy is very happy in Canada right now. May he suffer little bit when he leave to Lee
@@gonzaloreyes8782 He will forget all about her when he sees Max and is back home where he belongs. Take care.
Keep things light Max...I'm mostly here for the humor, you and Occy.
Absolutely killing these van build episodes thanks heaps. I am a single mum and planning on buying a van to do up as a camper so that I can take my son on a massive road trip next year around Australia, We live in a beautiful country and I want him to see it all. Thanks so much for all the tips. I can't wait to start building when I find a van... Keep making the videos please. And hope to see you on the road someday. You need to make a Twitch account so that you can take us all on the build and road.
Praying Max wins the custody battle 😂
🙏🏼
good one...:)
Grins sheepishly 🙂
Happy Birthday Judy 👍🙂🎁🎈🎉
Baa Baa
You’re a legend but Judy and the sheep are low key stars of the show!
No argument there
Double up your van build vids on both channels. That way new people will find your Max and Occy channel when they search van builds. Happy birthday Judy! Have a good one xxx
happy birthday Judy thank you for looking after Max, hope ya have a top day
And hi to Dad & Judy!!! Happy Birthday, Judy!!!!!!!! Love watching your progress.
Passed on!
You are such a pleasure to watch and such an amazing human. I hope after quarantine you find your “perfect” travel companion! you so deserve it.
Aww thank you!
Not gonna lie, the sheeps are the stars of this show 🐑
I always get nervous and excited when you cut into stuff. You are always so chill 😂 I think I would freak out if something didn’t fit the first time. But I love all the little tips you give like the tape to get the professional edge 👍 we love some wet finger technique 😁
Ohhhh
Max....I’m so sorry you lost your babes sheep’s.....I feel your pain!
You’re so adorable....that’s why I 💕 following you. So much personality
Glad to see that I'm not the only one that can turn what a professional can do in 3 hours into a day or two job! Looks like a pro did it though....
Haha always mate! And yep, I figure as long as I get there in the end 🤷🏻♂️
“I hope I don’t Eamon this one” 😂😂😂 brilliant!
I find it so impressive that you're making the build perfect. There has been many times that you've gone the extra mile where a lot of people would have said "good enough" out of laziness. That says a lot about you as a person! The van is going to be amazing because of all your hard work :)
Tho I've never done it myself, it has to be extremely nerve-wracking cutting holes in your van!! But you handled it like a pro, taking your time, measuring carefully, and I'm sure with much breath holding involved!! You're attention to detail is impressive, and you explain yourself well. Everything looks great my friend...you're doing a super job!! Happy Happy Birthday Judy!! Max is lucky to have you for a friend!!
Lol. Yes. You definitely need the sheep back. 😂 Wishing Judy a very Happy Birthday. 💖 Doing some great work there on the van. Looking great. 😁
Happy Birthday, Judy!! 29(+shipping & handling)! 🤣😂
😂😂
@@MaxLeeandOccy Happy Birthday Judy!!!
Yep, this time you did on the first shot! Ok, resuming. Yayyyy. While you had to do adjustments on the box, you cut it right! Really enjoy seeing you joke around! Looking forward to the next one!
I wouldn't know one end of a drill to a jigsaw but love watching your van build come along. Remember Little Bo Peep...leave them alone and those sheep will return to you :) Happy birthday from Coffs Harbour to the lovely Judy and so looking forward to seeing Occy back in your life!
Happy Birthday, Judee... and Max, that skylight is a dream
Such a dream! Thanks Catherine, I'll pass it on!
Happy birthday Judy!!! 🎂 Hope you have a wonderful day!!!
Passed on thanks April!
Still believe in you this time. (don't let me down.)
Happy Birthday, Judy!
I think you should consider some Max & Occy merch in the future!
HBD JUDY !!!
My best wishes from Central America.
Thanks Amaro!
Happy Birthday Judy, from Kissimmee, Florida!!!
And Max, you have a great personality & outlook on life. I really enjoy your videos.
Aww thanks Karen, birthday wishes passed on!
🎂 Happy Birthday 🎉 Judy 🥳
It doesn’t matter how long it takes you to adjust the box to fit. You making progress is enough 😊
Happy birthday Judy thanks for keeping Max straight lol. Great job on the van Max. Have to be honest you kind of scared me with the first part of the video I thought something might have happened to occy. Wouldn't trade a whole sheep farm for him. Keep up the good work!!
Happy Birthday Judy! Great work so far Max.
Thank you!
I still believe in you Max! Fit for the first time
Max, was a Paramedic on Survivor, Australia.....only the most grueling season! Hey @JeffProbst....Max is a survivor!
Beautiful job. Looks like a pro.
Thanks Karen!
I’m paused, IT’s gonna fit!!
This time you are correct! Thanks Kathleen 🙏🏼
Thanks for the video Max. Great job with that LPG box. Nice to see we have some good standards about gas installations in Australia. I worked 47 years in the gas and oil industries and shiver when I see some of the gas installations in van conversions in other countries.
Nicely done Max. Lovin' the rivalry between yourself and Eamon. Happy birthday Judy
Before start watching let me tell you that’s great that you uploaded on Sunday too great job.. please finish before them.. hahaha....greetings from Cuenca Ecuador 🇪🇨
It's not a race mate but I'm doing my best to keep it moving!
Cuenca! I’ve been there, beautiful city and Ecuador is an amazing country!! I can’t wait to visit there again sometime soon. My son’s name is Andrés - we live in Northern California (45 min north of San Francisco).
Max & Lee you’re right mate.. such a nice guy keep it up.. I’m sure it’s going to be the nicest van so far
Clare Lovett Silicon Valley Realtor so true hope you can do it it’s a small country but full of secrets to discover
You are a perfectionist..good job as usual...happy birthday Judy...Regards from Nova Scotia.,Canada
Haha yes I'd say that's fair.. Thanks Sherrie, passed on!
I pray you get occy back soon. Happy birthday Judy
Happy Birthday Miss Judy! Hope your day is amazing and full of laughter and delight!
100% I've got all the faith!
Thanks brother!
It’s going to fit first time!!!
Spot on!
🎉Happy Birthday Judy!! 🎉🎈🎁🎂🍾🎈Thank you for all the hard work that went into raising Max... I’ll be he could be a little terror 😉
Next I want to say WOW, that was a big job so well done on getting it done and looking so good too!!
“I hope I don’t Eamon this one” 🤣🤣🤣 hilarious... at least you learn from your mistakes!
Lastly, my fingers are cross for the custody battle...🤞🏻we NEED those sheep home please! Not only do they add to the ambience of these videos but Max needs the company... 😆#bringthesheepback
Good to hear a bit of Ocean Alley on the channel 🙌
4:33 They’re called zip disks here in Canada where I work. I’ve cut lotsa pipe with those.
Yes ..More faith in ya this time 😉
Haha thanks Nancy!
I like that you take such care and don't fudge it! Well done you!
It’s going to fit! Yes the sheep 🐑!Happy Birthday Judy 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
It will fit the first time! Have faith in yourself Max . Lol
Appreciated Joann!
When can we expect the new video series on the wet finger technique? 🤣
😂😅
Once again. Of course. I still have confidence in you. You could never disappoint, even if it’s wrong 💕
Your craftmanship is a joy to watch.😃
Personally I would have Underslung the Gas Bottle beneath the Van and preserved the ‘Stealth’ nature of My Walls.
Wasn't prepared to lose the clearance for going offroad mate!
🤣🤣 I hope I dont Eanmon this.
Great job.
😉😂
Really enjoying this vanbuild, Max... and loving the Hole Wars with Eamon!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDY! (and please can we, and Max, have the sheep back?)
Tell Judy her birthday is being held hostage until the sheep are returned! ;-)
I continue to enjoy your Van Build series. I find it oddly relaxing in spite of all the drilling of holes in the van.
Okay, WHAT strange Aussie concoction is "sikaflex"??
Haha it's a polyurethane based structural adhesive... I think 🤔 Very widely used over here and in Europe!
Is it the same as caulking? (Im canadian)
Didn"t know to "Eamon" something was a verb. Lol.
I've got chills thinking of anything/anyone being eamon'd!!
While the jerk is asleep he needs the bun pulled off, his eye brows shaved and a nice black marker drawing on the side of his face LOL
Absolutely! It will fit the first time. I didn't look at the other comments before I hit enter. You can do it MAX!!!
Happy birthday Judy!!! Can’t wait till u have occy back I hope things aren’t delayed more for you with all the crazy stuff going on in the world right now xx
"I hope I don't Eamon this one" hmmm what ever could he be referring to, hey Lee????? LMAO
GOTH may I ask what does this mean? “Hey Lee”?
Definitely need to post all your van build videos on the Max and Occy channel too
I was SO close to installing a gas box like this but didn't in the end. Primarily because of the stealth reason you mentioned. Instead I installed a gas box inside that is sealed from the internal space, and vented externally through the floor to New Zealand requirements. I wonder if Aussie has the same rules as most of our rules are the same or very close.
So I access the gas bottle inside, but it is always sealed otherwise. It also reduces the chance of rust from a big side hole in the van, and keeps the aerodynamics of the van too. Every little thing on the outside will create drag and cost money in fuel. The advantage of the outside bottle is easier to access to fill.
From the commercial builds I have seen on vans with this same external box, they use a ton of sika as well, and looked very similar to your results. So good work! Great tip re the size of the cutting blade.
The wet finger technique...lol
Happy Birthday Judy!!! One love from one Taurus to another!!!
Happy Birthday to Judy... Thanks for another great video...✝️💜✝️
you cant beat 1mm cutting discs.
if I could offer a tip: when using large amounts of Sika - Use a 1inch paint brush to level it out and look nice. You can even have a tin of Wax n Grease Remover to dip the paint brush in to help flow out the Sika.
great build series mate, keep it up.
Quite the learning curve Max. Lol. My husband understands too well, as he's currently working on our van.
Yes, it'll fit!!
Edit - I'll take that as a win! Well done Max! As for the sheep, they're speaking for themselves lol!!
💕✨💕✨HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDY✨💕✨💕
Happy Birthday Judy!!!! Hope you have an amazing day and eat lots of cake!!! 🎂 🍰 🧁
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDY!!!
Also, post on both channels. When it gets time to fully be there, make a short video to direct us there. Im already subscribed. You got a fan for life. I have appreciated the way you have moved on but still have a super big heart all around. Cheers dude 🙌🏼
Max, you're a class act. Looking forward to you moving to your new channel.
Nice job Max, you really think things through before you do them.
Happy birthday, Judy! ... and Yes! Bring back the sheep!!! Pelican can stay too haha.
Thanks for making me laugh ! It’s lovely to see you smiling again too !
Hey Max doing a nice job...if you are wanting to avoid metal sparks etc. Especially inside consider the tool called renovator...uses vibration, I’v used it heaps for metal, wood, cement, tiles etc. Just a thought.👍😁 ...oh you do...Happy Birthday Judy🌈👍
Good job on scribing and cutting the gas box. To smooth out the silicone use a spray bottle with metho in it and a silicone spatula (eBay or a glaziers supplier). Run the silicone in one continuous bead, spray liberally with metho and use the spatula in one continuous movement to smooth out. Makes the bead even and smooth without bubbles or lumps from starting and stopping with your "wet finger". When using silicone on visible surfaces like around the outside of the box, less is definitely best.
Max, as always you do a fantastic job. The more the I see the Iveca; the more I like it!
Happy Birthday, Judy!!! I hope you are having a great birthday. Thank You for taking care of my friend Max. Love you, Mate, and I look forward to seeing you in the next video. BTW I was not getting notifications even though I have it clicked . This has been happening on several RUclips Channels. Talk to you soon.Going to head to Patreon now. Cheers.
I Love you Max, I am enjoying watching you build your new home, can't wait until you can take her on the road. Happy Birthday Judy!!!!!! XO
Happy birthday wishes to Judy from Savannah, GA in the USA!!
100% appreciated this! Got the same gas box for my hiace and all these tips are making me feel way more confident!!
Legend
What a project. With an attitude like yours, you made it look so easy, thank you for sharing. 🐾
Very focused towards work. You live in a beautiful place.
Max and Eamon two totally different ways of building your vans love them both and the fun rivalry cracks me up. Love the vlogs, never enough 👍🏻 enjoy the family celebrations
Thanks mate!
Happy birthday Momma J! ☺️☺️
