googled it. in austria and germany you will not get the certificate with it in there :x maybe take it out for the check put it in afterwards. could end up in an ugly fine ^^
@@dimml0r yeah each country is different and never easy really. Our experience is that there are way more things in a van with all wiring that can be far from safe if you don’t do it properly compare with a pretty simple and safe wood stove, when you have a carbon monoxide detector of course
totally agree. just you know... youre european yourself. the kingdom of rules. but your van building style is very inspiring. hope you will continue to be successfull!
I absolutely love your van the cubic mini and wine draw are brilliant 🤣 I'm building out a transit wish I could put a cubic in it but unfortunately there not allowed for insurance were I am
Yeah get a wine draw, it’s pretty nice to offer friends a glass of wine that way. And yeah, the insurance part can be tricky sometimes for sure. Good luck on the build out of your Transit, have fun!
Yeah for sure :) It’s a personal thing but what’s good with a foot pump is that you use WAY less water, which means you don’t need to fill up as often. You can get away will a smaller water tank which saves weight. And if you ever run out of power, you can still get water. Oh yeah, also if you ever park in a really cold environment and everything freezes if you leave the van for some time, then the foot pump does not get damaged like most electrical pumps can do if you leave water in it. The bad thing with a foot pump is that it takes long time to fill up water in a bottle etc and that’s why we use the Yeti Silo for that. It’s all a beautiful balance of compromises and a foot pump works for some people but not for others
Very nice 👏 what type of plywood are you using? Surprised you don’t have 4wd. I hate putting on chains! Pocket hole construction or?? Great job! Can a bike fit under the bed?
Thanks! In this one we used Birch 1/2” stain graded plywood. 4x4 is great if you live in a ski towns but if you don’t drive in snow all the time it’s ok with FWD but not RWD. Used a lot of pocket screws, Kreg ones to fasten things nice and secure so it looks good as well. Bikes can fit under yes. Most bikes are 34-37” high when you take the front tire of.
That’s a great question but it’s not dropping because there is a weather proof sealed cabinet above the electronic where the water drops land and goes to the back so no issues there
That all depends on where you going to drive it, how much you are going to use it and how much you want to spend. ProMaster, Ford and Sprinter have S/ML sizes vans so in terms of size any of the M/L would work
the first metric video I've seen... my calm right now!!!!! LOVE YOU.
Metric is way better if you ask me
@@bjarnebuilds I'm Australian.... 🤷♂️
Well thought out.. As each RV is built for each person. And I have not seen no two alike...
The fireplace is so rad!!!
Yeah the Cubic Mini Wood Stove is great! Makes vanlife next level for sure.

Yaaass!!
All that awesome work and a foot pump sink? 🤔
Yeah for sure :)

@@bjarnebuilds all very valid reasoning. Beautiful van, either way.
Nice swanky build!

Good inspiration
Do your wet skis drip on the electrical?

What would you recommend for a family of 5 van wise?
