Never cease to amaze me Georgy. You’ve definitely been instrumental in my build so far. My girlfriend always ask me “WWGD” what would George do. I’m definitely coming to meet you when I finish mine
@@HumbleRoad I'd love to lend a hand but I'm halfway across the country! I follow @Derekfrommalden on Instagram and I know that he's been teaching himself to use his router. He also seems to know a lot of handy people that might be closer to your neck of the woods.
Hey George. In your spare time!! Draw up a 80-20 murphy bed frame for a 39" x 68" bed with a couch underneath. Full DIY plans with parts list and I will buy it in a heartbeat. All cushions/bedding must remain. Failing that, I will have to seek you out after the pandemic to make me one. I love your videos! Cheers!
Your Sprinter refrigerator housing result is the same as our Winnebago Sprinter result including the large cabinet atop. Our refrigerator is located on the passenger side between the galley and the clothes closet. The difference is the elegance of your 8020 design. Nice Job!
I’ve laughed out loud at many references you’ve made in prior videos, George, but never as loud as I did at your Eric Clapton song “Propane”. Simply hilarious......and btw, the technical aspects of your videos are always fabulous.
These were almost my exact words as well! I'm glad you were right underneath my 'comment' spot so I didn't have to repeat! I think the 'Bonus Segment' was all about George's songwriting skills! I'm just going to remain silent, or comment-less on his 'Fantabulous' (?) singing voice!
One of the best things about George and his channel is that even if I never commission a custom built van, I can incorporate the techniques into another type of RV including small caravans.
I see Humble Road has a new video. 1. I hit like. 2. I get a cup of coffee. 3. Sit back and enjoy. 4. Marvel at the time George obviously takes to make every van as perfect as they can be for their owner. Thank you George for taking the time to video everything you do as well. Have a great day!
You really got me with your “propane” song. My wife and I were cracking up. You’ve taken your video production to a whole new level. Got more songs for us?
There is a very promising future for bamboo. The versatile and structural applications of bamboo products is being developed more and more all the time. LAMINATED bamboo fibers allows for contoured frame members. There are cutting boards made from laminated bamboo and you must already know about bamboo flooring. And bamboo table tops. It would be interesting to see how a combination of aluminum extrusion and laminated bamboo lumber would work for that refrigerator frame. More contouring possibilities.
On my way to the motocross races today had to get my van fix in with George. Onwards and upwards Skippy! I need a Moto van, those were some of my best childhood memories traveling the country in the van with my dirtbikes!
Good morning, George. Love the detail of the new builds, but am even more impressed by the modification of the pleasureway. Wonderful Sunday morning visit!
Just saw you video in New Jersey outdoors, I need to drop a comment and subscribe your channel. Amazing engineering and design everything top of the line and pratical
George, have you ever planned a murphy bed from 80/20? I would love to see that. Would pay top dollar for your plans on it. Love your videos and your thought process behind everything. Soooo detailed as I sit tinkering sketches for my own shuttle bus conversion
Wonderful video as always. As for the people talking about the slats, remember, this is not the full weight of a mattress with 250 lbs of people on them. They won't move.
Our Sunday Funday with George is back on track. Love all the humor yet serious stuff in this video. LOVE the table update for van 1. Seeing that beautiful finish reminds us it’s all a process and genius artistry can’t be rushed. I have a hard time being patient watching your builds because I know they’re going to be beautiful. But since you’re working on three vans at once I know it’ll be a bit and I’ll be patient. ♥️🚐
Wow! You use 8020 for everything. Very expensive but also very nice. When I worked for a living the shop guys made machines from 8020. Your work is awesome and very inspiring.
So the box design im working on is like yours in a sence But see how your infront of it mine pulls out on roller bars And a double piece of wood folded over its self folds back covers the left wheel well and the middle gap and hangs on a 2 inch lip of the right wheel well box frame
Love the modular aspect of your builds!!! I’m sure each van is very quiet when storming down the road!! Thanks for the well thought informative and entertaining video!!!
George, your imagination for making installs better and better never ceases to amaze me! I will be buying my new Promaster soon...how backed up are you on build-outs? Always LOVE watching your videos....not only is the information and showing us the builds exciting, but, your editing skills are just as great! Stay safe and have a great evening! UPDATE: I just went to your website and saw that you’re booked up until June of 2022. That’s very disappointing to ME [although I’m happy for YOU you’re business is busy], but, I’ll have my Promaster built somewhere else I suppose, and, will be in contact to build ANOTHER Promaster later with YOU. Or, I’ll just buy a Pleasureway Lexor TS and use ‘that’ until I can get a build from YOU. Yes, that’ll work! Stay safe!
Your tangents are additional hidden gems and always appreciated. I’m sad thinking about the day when you give up Humble Road because Winnebago made you their chief engineer.
I love your use of 80/20 George, I must try it one day. I was slightly surprised to see you used two vertical pieces together for the front leg of both dinette seats but I suppose that's where a person's weight first lands, so good thinking.
I have a single counter top burner and a vent-less propane powered water heater, a small 20 lb. tank in cabinet underneath with bottom ventilation. No draw on my electrical, cheap as dirt and long lasting. Convection Smeckshon, No thank you. I LOVE Propane, I'll be coming out with my own version of a PRO-Propane song.
@@HumbleRoad Thank you Sir, I will definitely have both. Well I was going to just do NGL/LPG detector, but I will add the carbon monoxide detector as well just because you mentioned it. No need to research, your word is Gold. Thanks for the tip. (Song still coming soon)
Thanks, George. I love your videos. I have a question....have you ever considered a recycle system for the shower? I have seen those in other van builds and the filtration allows a small amount of water last through many showers. Thanks in advance!
Thank you Stephen! I researched the recirculating shower and determined that it is not for the martini crowd. In theory it may sound romantic, but in reality, day to day, disgusting! Think about changing or washing out those cartridge filters...skin cells, urine, soap scum, fecal matter!!! No thanks. I’ll use the extra space for more fresh water capacity.
A lot of builders talk about the transfer of heat/cold through the metal and how not having a thermal barrier between the metal walls and interior can create mold/condensation issues. When you're using the 80/20 how is that avoided? Or does it need to be avoided?
How did they name a screw after me?... For the very few times some luck came my way, "The Teflon Thrust Washer" was my nickname back in the day! ... And yes, Barry White's music could have been the "superfly" on my East Village studio's wall during these very rare occurrences!! These days I'm more like "The Stuck-Back Firing-Blown Gasket"!! Cheers George!!
Love your videos! We've watched every single one. We have a question about the type of thick plastic you use behind the upper cabinets. You said you bought it was Home Depot but we can't find it. Can you give some more details?
Hmmm you put the bed slats up side down in the concave? ...Why?..... they are always installed in the convex position! ... so that you can utilise the curvature that has been built into them!
No, convex or upwards curvature is for a bed. Stools and chairs curve downward. An upward curve would cause pressure to PUSH the bench frame apart from itself. A downward curve PULLS the bench frame members together for more structural strength.
Great video! Thx! However, shouldn't the Ikea wooden slats be mounted with high point in the center of the seat facing upward? The reason for the curve is to act as a spring. 😉👍
After watching this video I am inspired to upgrade the Dometic fridge in my Lexor. It doesn't keep a consistent temp and the door actually fell off. I had to improvise a new top hinge .... What model fridge are you putting in your Pleasure Way?
Yes, the precision required in making my own brackets was not worth the headache it caused. The corner brackets from 8020 are absolutely perfect, every one of them. I use one type of internal corner where I need an uninterrupted inner opening. The inside opening of the fridge, for example.
Love you, George, but the chair slats are upside down. They're designed to act as a spring; they should be installed in a convex, not concave, configuration. The weight of the occupant on the seat of the chair will "pull" your structure together.
hey george trying to sell my gmc and letter from attorney finally going out... he took about 31.5k and she is asking for 38.5 broke up with my gal near king of prussia- if you want a hand for even a day, give me me a shout

Ha! George can sing! A NJ rendition of the legendary southern anthem, Propane! Very enjoyable…
Thanks
😊
I hate people who are much smarter than I am, and buddy, you are at the top of my list!
Never cease to amaze me Georgy. You’ve definitely been instrumental in my build so far. My girlfriend always ask me “WWGD” what would George do. I’m definitely coming to meet you when I finish mine
좋아요^^ very nice good^^
Your 80/20 skills will come in handy assembling that CNC router table hiding in the background!
For sure! But I just can't find the time! I need a CNC operator to come in to assemble and get it running! Do you know of one?

Based upon the song actually written by the prolific songwriter, JJ Cale…
(somebody had to do it..)
Hi George! Nice video! I have propane, but it's not cocaine! Seeing your craft, on the other hand, gives me the highest narcotic highlight.
🤣
I love your videos but mainly because you remind me of Mr Magorium 😊
Hey buddy dont worry about it . tangents are good. Great video and ingenuity. Way to go.

This channel: when you get a person who could be a comic or a surgeon, building our vans...
I absolutely love your work.
Thank you so much!
A similar 80/20 hinged bed frame idea in my head now has been confirmed. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting to watch your video. Sir, thanks
On my way to the motocross races today had to get my van fix in with George. Onwards and upwards Skippy! I need a Moto van, those were some of my best childhood memories traveling the country in the van with my dirtbikes!
Loved the updates! Thank you sow much for showing the Pleasure Way updates for those of us pondering changes to our older vans !
Actually, I love the tangents ! I hop around, watching what catches my eye, so I appreciate having this stuff pointed 👍
Glad you like them!
I hope you're taking care of yourself, I thoroughly enjoy your videos.
Nice show on a Sunday morning with Coffee!
Ok, I've had my "Humble Road Fix". Let Sunday begin!
I can't wait to see the finished promaster 👀
As always.. artist at work... another great video George..
I can live without propane too George ! Great composition !
Job well done. Again 🎈

Awesome video, as always, George - just love the details and explanations - you are a true artist.
Thank you so much 😀
Your tangents are additional hidden gems and always appreciated. I’m sad thinking about the day when you give up Humble Road because Winnebago made you their chief engineer.
Very kind of you, but I've been self employed since I was 25 years old. I don't know how to have a boss! 🙄
I love your use of 80/20 George, I must try it one day. I was slightly surprised to see you used two vertical pieces together for the front leg of both dinette seats but I suppose that's where a person's weight first lands, so good thinking.
I really enjoyed your song. I have a feeling it could go viral
Thanks. Like #48
I have a single counter top burner and a vent-less propane powered water heater, a small 20 lb. tank in cabinet underneath with bottom ventilation. No draw on my electrical, cheap as dirt and long lasting. Convection Smeckshon, No thank you. I LOVE Propane, I'll be coming out with my own version of a PRO-Propane song.
Sing all you want, just make sure your propane gas detector has fresh batteries!
And your carbon monoxide detector as well! 😄
@@HumbleRoad Thank you Sir, I will definitely have both. Well I was going to just do NGL/LPG detector, but I will add the carbon monoxide detector as well just because you mentioned it. No need to research, your word is Gold. Thanks for the tip. (Song still coming soon)

IKEA , good for mix and match , but some unique part can build yourself , and 80/20 is good in this .
A lot of builders talk about the transfer of heat/cold through the metal and how not having a thermal barrier between the metal walls and interior can create mold/condensation issues. When you're using the 80/20 how is that avoided? Or does it need to be avoided?
Look closely in this video and go watch some of my older videos. I use a vinyl or rubber pad as a thermal break wherever 8020 touches the chassis.
How did they name a screw after me?... For the very few times some luck came my way, "The Teflon Thrust Washer" was my nickname back in the day! ... And yes, Barry White's music could have been the "superfly" on my East Village studio's wall during these very rare occurrences!! These days I'm more like "The Stuck-Back Firing-Blown Gasket"!! Cheers George!!
Beeswax works well with screws.
Oh my gosh! where can I buy a Humble Road hoodie?
They will be available after the Holidays.
Love your videos! We've watched every single one. We have a question about the type of thick plastic you use behind the upper cabinets. You said you bought it was Home Depot but we can't find it. Can you give some more details?
Any lightweight flexible PVC sheet will do.
Hey George, I hear Eric is available for a studio version of "Propane".....
😎
8:00...you’re welcome!
CLAPTON..... look out...George can sing you under the...van!
👍👍😊

Bed slats bow upwards. Seat slats bow downward.
Where are you located? How much customization do you intertain in your builds?
If this van conversion thing dosen't work out, you can always teach a Master class in 80/20
After watching this video I am inspired to upgrade the Dometic fridge in my Lexor. It doesn't keep a consistent temp and the door actually fell off. I had to improvise a new top hinge .... What model fridge are you putting in your Pleasure Way?
Isotherm
Yay but im very late :(
No matter the time, just glad you made it! 👍
Sweeeeet
It looks like you've now started buying corner brackets instead of making them. Have you ever tried the hidden internal corner conectors?
Yes, the precision required in making my own brackets was not worth the headache it caused. The corner brackets from 8020 are absolutely perfect, every one of them. I use one type of internal corner where I need an uninterrupted inner opening. The inside opening of the fridge, for example.
@@HumbleRoad thanks.
Whats the name of the fridge
I tested silicon sealant with PVC sheet and it didn't bond. Are there different silicones?
There are. We tested a few of them when gluing up the Vagabond shower walls.
Thanks George. Your screws are tight and locked down. Know what I'm sayin'?
Love you, George, but the chair slats are upside down. They're designed to act as a spring; they should be installed in a convex, not concave, configuration. The weight of the occupant on the seat of the chair will "pull" your structure together.
The weight on a convex slat will push out on the ends.
Bed slats bow upwards, chair slats bow downward.
