Hi guys. Glad to see you’re literally ticking to-do jobs off your list in the van. Poor Tim will be bored if he don’t have any jobs to do. ( it’s a man thing ) but saying that they’re a job closer to Van perfection I’m sure. One day you three will be living the dream once you have it like you want it. Thanks for sharing and please take care out there ❤️🤗👍
I'm glad you got the AC finished. I was curious about the weight with all the extra bits added. It will be interesting to see the results. How much margin did you have left on the previous weigh? But she is definitely looking the part. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Chris 😊🙏🚐the ac unit was an extra 17kg and the extra storage minus the original storage upped that by about 12 extra kilos , we did have a margin error of 275kg but I’m sure we’ve eaten into that but not over it 🤔
Once you finish all those little jobs will it be time to rip everything out and start again? We have the not everyone that wanders is lost saying on Desmond. I want to add except probably Lindsay. Lindsay is probably lost.
I'm sorry the Ecoflow didn't work out but I'm glad you found a system that can tackle the heat. It is such a blessing that Tim can do so, so much of the handiwork. Such an asset! I'm sure you'll get everything to your liking as time goes on. What an adventure, lol. Stay cool, stay safe and GOD bless
Hey guys, just looking at the Ecoflow and Truma units now. Interested to know, when you tested the Ecoflow, did you have the intake and exhaust ducts outside the van? Confused as a lot of people seem to say it's good
Thankyou for watching 😀we had the vents outside through the supplied adapter on the drivers window , it was confusing for us as we thought the same thing on reviews and were confident with our purchase but it didn’t seem to be able to handle the humid conditions 🤦♂️the truma does have better cooling and heating power , but the eco flow is portable, the eco flows water collection tank is just a tray that overflows if the van isn’t completely level , silly flaw for such a nice unit , the truma drains through the floor of the van so no need to worry about emptying it , eco flow offer a 30 day money back guarantee so we opted for the more powerful but not portable unit 😀hope this helps
Thank you the specs are in the link below , it has a digital thermostat on the controller and has a night/eco mode www.truma.com/gb/products/air-conditioning-systems-gb/saphir-gb/saphir-comfort-rc/
❤😊❤ I will have to look into the Truma. I will be traveling with a dog and she needs a nice climate if I need to run into a store. I am hoping it has a smart feature that let's you know how it is working while away from the van.😊
I think that Truma system is amuch better choice. I don't always trust YT influencer recommendation. Can't wait to see the final finish on the cabinets!
I’m exhausted watching you guys do all your stuff so god knows how you feel Interesting eco flow was such a fail - you wonder how they sell the product Hope you can have some calmer times ahead
Hi Sandy, Tim and Pablo Happy Belated Valentine's Day! I hope you still remember ME..hahah I am actually enjoying taking your heat, sweat faces, in AU to NC, US...brrr...we still have cold mornings below freezing point. Let's switch a place for a while if we can hahahhaah So sorry it took for a while to drop a comment since I was not aware that I was actually watching your two vids, this one and the latest accidently and confused myself, especially after days of bed-rest. I am recovering..... I am sorry I am good at shopping, but not electric appliances or car parts. The language sounded from AU English to French ahhaha How did you end up air-conditioner system after failure from the past. Did you take any recommendation or your own research. So much information online...I may say. My concern was if there is some challenge to return products that did not meet your expectation. Once the box i open, ,I thought the company you bought from may have given you a hard time to return and money back. OMGoodness, Tim's survival skill/make-shift skill is outstanding. He must have really liking it in stead of being just responsibility. What amazes the most is you two's mutuality and passion for Van's life. I will be screaming if the original plan is disturbed..haahahah In stead. you two encourage each other with some sense of humor and keep going ahead for the completion. I have no idea how you can manage YT world and real life... Well done...No I shall comment the latest
Thank you ms kayak 😊🙏hope you’re recovering well 😊we returned the AC unit to eco flow and received a refund without any issues, you get a statutory 30 days no quibble return policy in Australia as long as it’s returned in its original packaging undamaged 🤩
Sorry Tim, I got nothing on vegan bacon, 🤷♂I've always said until they invent a bacon bush, that actually tastes like bacon, I am firmly a carnivore.😉

Thanks TR 😊🙏so nice sleeping in the cold now , glad you’ve got those stickers 🤩🚐

This was a cool video to watch seeing all of the jobs get done. Hopefully you all have a great time up in the North Coast! Be safe!
Thanks Shaun 😊🙏we’ll make sure we have a great time 😀

Thanks deej 😊🙏one day soon hopefully 🤩🚐
Can you make a vid of what the Truma draws- watts/amps/ is there an eco mode, or thermostat?
Thank you the specs are in the link below , it has a digital thermostat on the controller and has a night/eco mode www.truma.com/gb/products/air-conditioning-systems-gb/saphir-gb/saphir-comfort-rc/
@@SandVan thank you!

Thank you 😊🙏the Truma system does work a lot more efficiently than the eco flow , it’s a shame it wasn’t upto the job 😞
I think that Truma system is amuch better choice. I don't always trust YT influencer recommendation. Can't wait to see the final finish on the cabinets!
Thanks Tim Tim 😊🙏the truma is so much more efficient at cooling the van 🤩🚐
So a nogo on the ecoflow. You guys make me nervous every time you cut holes in your van. Great video have a good day.
Thank you 🙏😊yes we’re just as nervous cutting new holes but it was entirely necessary for us 🥵
We don't have an IKEA in Oklahoma. The closest one is 201 miles (324 KM) away in Texas. We don't go there very often. 😅
Thank you guy 😊🙏wow that’s a big trip 😮
Trial and error, learn something new everyday! Lol! Oh no, where to put the things that were there! Glad you got it figured out!>Sue 😊
Thank you Sue😊🙏yes there’s always something new almost everyday 😀
I’m exhausted watching you guys do all your stuff so god knows how you feel
Interesting eco flow was such a fail - you wonder how they sell the product
Hope you can have some calmer times ahead
Thanks guys yes it’s exhausting at times especially with the heat 🥵yes we’ve returned it to eco flow it’s a shame it wasn’t upto the job 🤷♂️
If you can move your aircon outlet vents higher this will be much better as cold air sinks.
Thank you 😊🙏we recently discovered this and now have the vents a lot higher , thank you for the advice 🤩
