Excellent work! I’m starting to looking into van conversions and I was wondering why no one was addressing the EMF radiation? If you can share, what would be the percentage increase to add the EMF protection in a custom conversion?
I see someone else asked this and there was no response. What is the EMF reading from the inverter and battery compartment with the lids shut? I was surprised to see that you didn’t take those readings because the whole point of the video was to show how to reduce EMFs and you didn’t show how much of a reduction there was by closing the cabinets with the stainless steel to see that it really does actually block the EMFs.
Beautiful design. Reassuring to see the low/no magnetic field emissions. Would be helpful to mention that radio wave EMFs are emitted from cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, and location services on phones.
Another happy customer! I wonder how much that steel plate above the electrical compartment shields the area above it from EMF. Does it completely eliminate it? Does EMF escape to the side? A great idea. This can be called a “healthy van”.
Thanks John. Actually, the stainless-steel sheet behind the counter was an aesthetic choice. The shielding is done with the shielded wire and the metal face plate on the electrical box.
We use a solar charge controller that converts the solar energy to the batteries, so the inverter does not need to be on. Good question though. I should have tested the solar charge controler for emf with the van outside when the solar is working.
Have you checked EMF with the vehicle engine running? They will be spending a lot of time driving. I'm just curious how well the manufacturer has done, which I assume will vary with brand & options. Alternators produce AC voltage that is then rectified to DC. Non-diesel engines may also have spark plug wires that are very high voltage.
I just bought a ford transit trail and I didn’t realize the dual batteries are under the drivers seat! I’m chemically sensitive and emf sensitive, I’m going to build it out very simple and safe but what can I do to neutralize emfs while driving??
I just stumbled upon your channel looking into doing our own camper van. Anyway your audio is a little rough. I highly recommend investing in a very simple wireless lav system. Rode has a great one that can work with smart phones or cameras with mic inputs. Trust me when I say, audio is half the experience when watching a video. Your builds are awesome.
you kind of missed the point of this video, huh? I have both the DJI and the Rode Wireless Pro for work, and I would NOT recommend them to anyone who cares about limiting their EMF exposure and does a lot of recording. They are off the effing charts. A wired one without bluetooth, etc. would be much preferred.
It was so nice to find a van conversion that took into consideration EMF safety. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. I wish more builders would do this.
This is a beautiful build! You gave us so many great ideas that we may borrow for our van build-out.
Excellent work!

Very good point! Thank you. We purposly put in battery monitors and Solar charge controllers that were not Bluetooth.
Do the batteries create EMF too? Or is it just the inverter, really?

Do you have the EMF consultant's info?
I’m buying a 26’ rock wood trailer and wondering how much I can modify it to be shielding…
What do you like about the Rockwood trailer?
Do you guys still do builds?
Yes we do! Thanks Erik
How can you get electricity from a solar panel without an inverter? sorry about the ignorant question

Great point. I did not check that. I will next time. Thanks Erik
Good point. The 2021 ford transit I have screams in the red on my acoustimeter.

@@BlueWonderLadydo pretty much all vehicles have the same issue?
Not liking the bed base arrangement and why put inverter under the bed??

God, why can't I find anyone in Europe who understands these concepts?
