    You did that. I mean I watch these types of videos all day. Build & no build conversations. I am literally blown away. This is so creative and amazing. Im going to look and see if you offer blue prints/ DIY guide ebook or PDF. If not...do it please I will invest in it. Don't stop doing what you do.

    There are parts of conversions I really like, but this conversion is exceptional. I love the entire conversion. Thank you for your music free, concisely detailed and at a rate of speech to catch all that you are doing, especially the electrical. I like your option for mesh netting. It is more practical than covers. The kitchen is perfect, and everything is below the window. Excellent build of every piece!

    Very nice camper van conversion. I really like that it is not permanently converted, it can be easily used as a minivan or a camper van. The build quality looks fantastic, very professional.
    I really think you could sell this as a kit.

    @LuisQ7492 3 года назад

    A tip for securing the solar panel, install all your bolts loosely before you start tighting down. That way you have some wiggle room. It's a little tip I learned when I first startedy career as an aircraft mechanic. Get all the bolts or screws started with a couple of turns and then go back and snug them down. Great build!

    • @averysmallcampervan

    It's one of the best conversions I've seen.
    Potential issue with the weight of that boxed fridge not being over the axle.
    It's a lot of weight to have in the overhang.

    • @averysmallcampervan
      @averysmallcampervan  3 года назад

      Thanks - I’m not worried about the fridge. It is a 27liter cooler, so tops it would weight 27 kg. Water jug on the left side is 10 liter.
      The van can carry nearly 700kg of people/cargo.
      A load of groceries in the back luggage area would weigh more!

  • @Goodness125

    • @averysmallcampervan
      @averysmallcampervan  3 года назад

      Yes! I sometimes wonder if some parts of the US don’t have a mosquito problem. Around here it is very much a problem except on a dry day in August. (It’s also good from October to April but then it is too cold to camp!)

    @saltpepper1894 3 года назад

    i would suggest you use magnets to hold skeeter screens to body of van, unless you like them perm inside instead. could also use something like a lil velcro, or sugru (nice silicone putty) etc... in various places on side windows to hold oversized pieces of screen then just stuff edges into open edges when window is open

    • @averysmallcampervan
      @averysmallcampervan  3 года назад

      Hi, no sure I follow, but I am already using magnets for some of the screens. I try to avoid stick on vercro because eventually the glue tends to fail in a hot car + I hate the sound of velcro!!!!

    I would add lock & flat washers to the roof solar panel bolts. You dont want bare bolts to vibrate loose

    • @averysmallcampervan
      @averysmallcampervan  3 года назад

      Good point! I was assuming the since the stow n place roof racks didn't have any type of lock washers, I would follow the same system. I think the fact that the threaded inserts in the roof are fixed goes a long way to preventing the bolts from working loose, but could be something to try if you have any problems with things loosening up.
