As a dad of a 30 something year old son I could feel your dad’s pain. We want you to succeed and learn but we also want to get done. God bless and enjoy your upgrades!! ❤❤
🤣🤣🤣🤣 so funny! Thank you!!
@@kellyhays23 kelly i watch your vidios about US national parks.You 're doing a nice job! Greetings from poland.
Always find watching people repair things relaxing.
I'm watching with my 30 year old daughter and the high jack got us laughing. She said she's not the only one😂 I want your dad to show us his car in the garage. He's great Kelly and we're lucky to have such amazing daughters ❤
Too funny😂🤣
The best part about doing projects with your dad is that you get to feel what it's like to be 5 years old again. It's not necessarily their fault either... they hover, you feel self-conscious and end up doing something a 5-year-old would do.
Perfect layout! Not to overdone, and still looks super comfy
Nothing cooler than a woman throwing on her Carhartts and gettin' er dun. 💪 Hopefully the caulking gets rid of all the leaks. Nice battery! 10 times the life, and half the weight of the lead one. Pops was waiting for the right moment to commandeer that sander. 😂 I like the new bed setup. It really opens up the space and provides easier storage access. Well done young lady. 👏 ✌️
This is a fun video! I like to see a bit of a departure from the regular stuff sometimes. Van builds / mods are always entertaining. Also, since you're 5'-7" and you need just a little more room to sleep sideways, removing your socks and shaving your head will give you an extra three or four millimeters, Problem solved..you're welcome. 😎
😂
Gotta let the ol’ man do his thing! 😀 It’s in his DNA.
I fully appreciate your dad’s dilemma having a grown daughter myself who likes to run her own show but is still learning the ends and outs of “handyperson” skills. Sometimes it’s beneficial from a skill acquisition perspective to make mistakes and learn from those mistakes but as a dad it’s hard to just standby and watch that learning process take place. I think there are probably a lot of us dads in that situation. Great video.
I do not have a van, but do have a camper and have often thought about cutting doors (like cabinet doors) under our bed-space for easy access as well. Those places are always such a pain to access. Loved this video, and am enjoying seeing you and your dad spending time together in the last two videos!❤
I have that same inverter and it won't start my mini fridge compressor. I can't wait to get this astro on an adventure. I appreciate how you go in depth and show everything.
Tip for you. Put vasaline on the terminals of your battery, obvously disconect it first, it will reduce any corrosion.
Kelly your so grounded & adventurism I always thought of your parents .. .. how you must have been raised ?? Dads gotta be proud!!
It's so satisfying to see everything look so flush. You (and your dad) did a great job. 😃
Love this one, Kelly. Lots of ideas flowing! Thanks!!
I've got a 2014 Pro master that I built out last year. My bed is really high up so I have a ton of room underneath. I also put in a shower and compost toilet but it's a little longer than yours.
Your van looks great! Many joyous travels to you always!
Was that ‘fast times at Ridgemont High?’ In the movie clip? If so that is random and hilarious. Also the fact that your Dad drives a stick is freaking awesome!
Didn't know you had a Sprinter van!
Love your projects with Dad!
I actually don't think you'll have any issues sleeping width-wise. We converted our 6x10 cargo trailer and the walls eat up a tiny bit of the internal width, but I'm 5'7" as well and I'm quite comfortable sleeping that way.
The van build is awesome! But backup, the tower stereo with all the vinyls is banging 🤘
Also, SELL ME THE LAND ROVER LOL
Your dad is like most dads I know. We are guilty taking over.
Like you ideas for remodel.
I know you are probably already done with this project by now but to access the storage under the bed you could cut hatches in the end by the back door so you could use them by opening the rear door.
Yeah I have thought to do this also and will likely do it in the future
Good job bed is great, you look great win win .
soon to be Bobet the Builder for sure!
lol. Your dad is my dad. He would so try to takeover too! Gotta love ‘em!❤️
“The highjack “ i call it the “take over”. 🤣like you , I just let it happen and thank my lucky stars someone knows what they are doing lol. Great job with the van layout !!!
HAHAHHA right! Might as well take advantage of him knowing how to do everything while I can 😂
Nice video. I'm glad that you are keeping the van. The corrosion on lead acid batteries can be cleanned and then the connections greased to prevent future corrosion. Glad that the sealing worked. The hardest thing for a parent to do is "let go". Good Luck, Rick
Yup I will be cleaning them up and selling them on marketplace!
Nice upgrade plans to the van.
🙂Lots of Adventures ahead for Kelly
I like project videos! I thought it was funny your dad trying to take over! Lol did he yell at you for not holding the flashlight still or getting the correct screwdriver?? 😂
Hahahaha he’s normally pretty patient with me 😇
It's funny Kelly I usually hate these build videos but I'm curious how yours turns out cuz I'm tall too. 😊. Definitely a diagonal sleeper
my dad will take over projects my sister has at her hosue too, only payment is she has to give him a hug when he's done
I haven't read the comments on here yet, but on your window, the bottom weep holes looked to be plugged. The top holes should be plugged and the bottom should be open. Hope this helps if you see it!
I miss my brother’s dodge promaster van that I built out for him. I put a lot of work into it and was a fun learning experience. Now I have a great idea for the next one for myself whenever I can do it. Right now I just use my camping fishing combo trailer I made that has a rooftop tent and awning. And God bless southern women!
Awesome.... Chalk everything up there and maybe put a coating on the whole roof .... I did it for a living!!! Oh and some dead stickers..... Enjoy and be safe!!!!!! 😎✌️
Love the van, Saving for one myself.I like the upgrades you're thinking of.
Great new video, hoping you are ok after some stormy weather in arkansas last night. I think it is more in NWA and southern Missouri but know that’s too close. Thank you sharing yourself with us.
Love the van ideas.
A finishing touch would be adding glow in the dark stars on your van ceiling. Scale some zodiac constellations and enjoy star gazing in the sprinter!!!
We need to see the model A under the car cover!
It’s great to see that your camper van is getting a remodel. Apparently my gas hand in my Ram 1500 has quit working because of a failing fuel sensor in my fuel pump which I’m replacing the entire fuel pump and getting a new one. Can’t wait to see the Disco 2 camper build later on.
Can’t wait to see your van after the makeover!
Love this video ❤ your van is awesome !!!!
Loved the hike with your Dad. Happy Tavels
You’re not too far from Missouri! I live up by Six Flags off Interstate 44. The southern part of Missouri is so beautiful just like Arkansas.
Keep that diesel running!! Awesome resource to have! Enjoy.
You are doing a great job. Keep at it and it will pay off. Hope you are doing well. Stay happy and safe. Your buddy from Florida.
Love the Jordan cut out. Are you a Bulls fan?
You probably should have used the same stuff that they use to install windshield in your van it is made to solid up your windows and so use that next time because silicone is good for a little bit of time but it will definitely check out the windshield installed video it’s a form of gasket sealer and should outlived your windows I hopefully that you don’t have anymore leaks
Looking good Kelly looks comfy
Great movie choice. Fast Times At Ridgemont High.
Love you're adventures and can't wait to see more
Very nice and good luck, now you can come back to Florida.😂 Be blessed.
I want to see the car that’s under the cover 😊
I carry fishing rod and tackle also and always forget I have it but I have to get my license first.
Kelly the van needs a double, bed just incase you have a friend stay the night. It looks good though.
That van is awesome.
👋👋 Kelly it’s looking great 👍.. 😊 love ❤️ from New Mexico..
I have been enjoying your videos since you were on the Cody & Kellie channel. Did you change the battery type on your solar charge controller to Li when you swapped out the battery? I didn't see that in the video.
Yes I did! Just don’t put it on film
Haha Hijack 😂 Your so cute and absolutely Beautiful!❤
You're awesome. I'm enjoying your videos a lot more. Keep doing your thing.
Sweet get er done!
Thanks!
THANK YOU!!!!!!❤️
Loved this video, very enjoyable, informative, but I eas getting hungry but no food this time 🥵
Very cool stuff!
You should’ve pulled the window frame and seal the window edge directly and a bead all around the window to seal the frame back in place.
You're 💎 GEM & MULTITALENTED 😊, at SOLVING , all CHALLENGES , that life offers YOU 😅 , besides that , you're a very ATHLETIC 👍 GIRL 🎉.... CONGRATULATIONS 😊 , THANKS 😊.....
Safe travels
I got my brother to follow you since you hit a lot of our camping and hiking trails.
Still not to happy about you hiking alone, have you considered bringing protection or a satellite phone?
Hey Kelly!
dude, is that an Aerosmith tank you have on? ( my all time favorite band)
Yes!
@@kellyhays23 warms my heart to see you young folk appreciate classic rock!
Another great video. Thank you Beautiful... Have a good one till we see you
Your beauty is like a star i can see from far away 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
My dad was the same way 😂
Followed your AT hike. Was disappointing in how that deteriorated. Was checking in once in a while afterwards. Glad to see how you have grown and matured as a nice young lady. Not that you need my approval
Wait how did my AT hike deteriorate? It only got better after day 6
Can you tell me where you got your mattress cover?
Coffee for you!
Lol never ending project
So cool 😊
Did you need a different charger with lithium battery?
Your beauty is like an ice cream cone holding in all that vanilla 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰
is it bad that i find you to be one of the most attractive women ive ever seen
Kelly we really be wanting you to drop every Three days 😕😒
❤😂🎉
😍
❤❤
✌️❤️
Don't hang out on the solar panel
You went to UVM ?
The all black outfit is fye 🔥😂 but how tall are you ? 5’1!?

@@kellyhays23best RUclipsr on RUclips 💯🩷
If you was a vegetable you would be a cutecumber 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
wow.....LS swap...now youre speaking my language

Hi! I have a 2005.. All rubber hoses that are soft, needs to be replaced. Online Euro parts San Diego
Shops are hard to find on the road PERIOD! Starter can be bought new..idler tensioner pulley. belt store it just in case FLUID changes #1. Stay safe
Yup, Already bought all new hoses and we will be putting those in when I get back next time!
@@kellyhays23 I carry older good parts replaced in a box create on the road.. used alternator everything, will get you home. I've learned!
A pair of rubber gloves will keep from getting it all over your hands
👍🙏👏
Were you a Wampus Cat?
Why and how are you still single when you are so beautiful!?
Because I choose to be
How dare you do man stuff and not include dad 😂 ps if your sealant doesnt seal get some gutter sealer, its made for application on metal.
Lesson #1) Never buy anything from Dodge or Ram..... TRASH!
This isn’t really a dodge- it’s Mercedes engine and parts. It’s just a rebadged version of a Mercedes sprinter. Something about a chicken tax back in the early 2000s Mercedes was trying to get out of. It’s def not trash either, 200k miles and I’ve driven it across the country at least 5x now with no issues. Hoses needed to be replaced anyway, it was time.
@@kellyhays23 I was just messing with you Kelly, I enjoy watching your videos.
