    This is why I wanted the outside of my van to look like a travel van. I love the way he's enclosed the living space so it looks like a home but the outside still looks like a van.

  • @opcn18

    On the subject of rooftop walkable solar. The cells themselves are more fragile than the glass, so you can be damaging your output while walking on it without seeing the damage. There are clever diode arrangements being used now to protect output so you might not see a dramatic drop until the damage crosses a certain threshold, but it's something to pay attention to.

    • @JarrodTocci
      @JarrodTocci  4 года назад +1

      I never make contact with the cells themselves. The cells are sandwiched between two very thick pieces of glass. They are commercial grade and are designed to handle 80mph hail. They are rated for 25 years and were also not designed to go on vans. They are meant to be on large fields. But what people don't understand is if you use a commercial grade panel like this then you need certain other components to make sure your systems runs correctly. This is why I hired Tiny Watts Solar to do that for me.

    hey Jarrod, this is one of the best builds I've seen yet. I really like the murphy bed and the hidden shower. 2 questions and a request. :)
    1) Would is be possible to make some adjustments for a wider bed (closer to a queen size)?
    2) You mentioned attaching the toilet to the door. Wouldn't it have to be way higher to clear the wall of the floor pan?
    Request: When you're 100% done with the build, if you could could make a playlist of short 3 to 5 min videos for each of the main features (bed, shower) explaining how you made it, parts list, etc?
    That would be amazing. Again, great job on the build!

    • @JarrodTocci
      @JarrodTocci  4 года назад +6

      Thank you! I do have a build series of this van on my page to explains a lot about certain parts.
      You could design it to make the bed bigger. Just have to sacrifice something. If it was wider then the long countertop would have to go because a queen spans most of the back doors. You could try a side murphy bed but that is tough in a Sprinter as the curve is drastic. I now have a design in my head for a bigger bed 🤣 thanks for doing that and making me want to build another lol...I'm kidding I won't build another.
      The toilet will clear the pan. I just need to build it correctly but not worried too much about it

    Jarrod, you probably remember me from my comments in the past. I just want to say, you're an amazing guy. I've watched all your videos, and of all the travellers I follow on RUclips, I have always been the most inspired, educated, and entertained by you. I follow your content more closely than Bob Wells, and I have met him, personally. He inspired me, as a former van lifer, and you make art of the concepts he teaches. As I mentioned, about a year ago, I am planning to return to living tiny, when I retire, and watching both your van builds have truly helped me think outside the box to better refine my plans. I hope you keep designing, in addition to your comedy career. I bet you could invent some great designs for tiny houses, perhaps even publish a book on it. You've definitely hooked me as a fan. You need to post more comedy, too.
    When I was living my van life I was a promoter and independent manager for comedians and rock bands. You've got a winning formula, here. You're videos are great, balancing good camera work, real improvisational presentation that's intelligent, witty, and inoffensive, and enough personal character to come off genuine and relatable.
    You do come off as a great guy with whom to kick back and have a beer.
    I think that Alexa should just keep following you, too. She's adorable, and the chemistry you two have on camera is as appealing. You could definitely do more collaboration with her, and improve both your audience bases. You're looking pretty good, too, Bud. The weight loss is definitely showing, and you have definitely improved on your grooming habits in the past couple years. You're getting pretty classy, Jarrod. It suits you.
    I hope my long-winded comment has brightened your day. Your videos always brighten mine, and more importantly, they earned you at least one fan.

      Btw ... your weight loss is noticeable ... so well done. I'm not a regular viewer. I saw a vlog of yours maybe a year? ago and then again today and it is evident how much less you seem to weigh.
      In general though, I find your style too effusive if you want to do stand-up. You work too hard to be awesome and 'present' and gnarly (dated what) but come off way too earnest ... and sycophantic ... touches of the Carnegiesque, as if you are trying too hard to be liked, to elicit subs and garner influencer status ... verging on inauthentic.
      Such is the hollow beast of social media though and I think it is entrenched in your American culture to be oblivious to subtlety, irony and witty understatement. You bludgeon the world with big, bold, monosyllabic crayons.

    A small constructive criticism - I think the fluorescent lighting is a bit harsh, and something warmer will not only create a more pleasant ambiance, but may feel better to physically spend time in! Among other health effects, fluorescent light exposure suppresses melatonin, which affects your sleep quality. Perhaps something to consider, if I may 😊
    Bon voyage!

    • @JarrodTocci
      @JarrodTocci  4 года назад

      Thank you! I'm with you with the water. I was be cautious of weight with water weighing at 8 pounds per gallon it can get heavy quick. With the amount of power and solar panel size there's no need for a generator but understandable for someone that wants/needs more. Thanks again

      +1. .. Sherrie .. Agreed, good question. .. I'd explore the ceiling area as a wide-open continuous radiant area. .. An initial thought is knowing the composition which holds the PEX tubing? .. Is the existing flooring PEX composition consisting simply of a reflecting component or is there an added mass component? Such as cementitious based backer board for a mass component. .. Could this (mass) be suitable for a ceiling application or not? .. Think of a layer cake when considering the radiant floors composition; 1.5" Polyiso insulation, 3/4" plyboard w/onesided metallic veneer grooved to accept PEX piping, topped with 1" of cement-based backer board then finished with aesthetic flooring. .. It could be sheet goods, wood flooring, etc. This is beginning to sound like greek to me. .. All the best. .. Cheers, Vail, Colorado
