    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.

    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. 😎

    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 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.

    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

      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.
