Hey Seth I commented this a couple weeks ago but I don't if you saw it. You should try reviewing oval chain rings. Supposedly it makes it easier to climb hills.
This van is the culmination of the best that RUclips offers. You have a group of buddies that are also RUclipsrs, but they are also craftsmen. The collaborations are so good because we get to watch them create awesome things.
Seth and Alex when there hanging out together working or riding always makes me so happy for some reason they just seem like amazing and fun people and always gets a smile or laugh from me
My uncle made essentially the same exact thing from scratch himself. He absolutely loves it! Travels across the country rock climbing. Just gives you the freedom to do whatever you want, when you want. I would love to build one my self!
i love that seth isn’t fake you know like he’s a real legit friend that is down to help you with almost everything and that’s something that really judges a friendship at the end of the day so kudos to him
Your van might have 2 recall on it . A shifter cable is one of the recall parts. Also on your air filter housing you might want to check for rust on the screw retaining holes, the screws can get weak and can snap off, grease them
For heat dissipation it's important to house LED strips within a small aluminium extrusion. This helps for heat dissipation, increases LED lamp life and avoids peeling of the tape. It's also more safe! I'm leaning on my 10yrs in lighting consultancy to engineers and architects here 😁 Love the van though!
Other Van Life youtubers: “this is my awesome van, check it out!” Seth and Alex: “Hold our beers” Seriously though, that new DC power system and 5k monitor are both epic upgrades.
when you place your laptop in the sleeve like that, you should ensure that the underside hinge is exposed. having your laptop closed in an insulating space like that is not good for it without proper airflow will cause them to overheat and be slow
When you are driving, it would be very beneficial to keep the monitor fastened to the wall. If the arm its swung out, tha moniot is going to apply a very large torque on the wall due to the long lever arm and large rotational inertia. This could mean the monitor ripping out of the wall. If the moniotr is fastened to the wall, it will apply no torque since its on the axis of rotation. The only thing you will have to worry about is the screws being able to hold the weight of the monitor.
He didn't explain it but I'm pretty sure that's the purpose of those blue spongy things at 12:12. If they fill in the gaps it would wedge the monitor between the desk and the cabinet just with friction.
i will second this , i have 4 monitors on amazon basics monitor arms mounted to a plywood wall in my van and ive had to bungie them against the wall when i drive. I use screw eyes and bungies
I would have another thin bit of plywood to put over the front of the monitor when it's against the wall to create another fake wall and keep the monitor secret, and not have to look at it all the time when not in use
So, obviously the video is bad ass..... But I think the coolest thing is how good of friends you are and how Seth is what seems to be more then happy to help you out. Very cool !!!!!! Well done !
I see a lot of people who say they work 8hrs a day on the computer in their van and it’s just hard to believe when you see what they are sitting in. This is by far the best computer work station set up I have seen. But I personally would love to see one that accommodates two computer screens and a larger desk which would probably need some kind some kind of hinge extension
I Can Safely Say That Your Van Conversion Is Absolutly The Best!😍 Better Than Any Other Van Conversion Ive Seen. I Watch Alot Of Vanlife And I Am Honestly Impressed! Keep Up The Upgrades Until We See An Ultimate Level Of Vanlife!
yo alex i haven't watched you for ages now and seeing you in seths vids brought me back to the channel and boy has the quality of your vids gone up keep up the good work
I wish I had Seth's practical skills and ability to problem solve. He always comes off as a really cool guy ready to help his friends. Congrats on the van upgrades!
In life, you will face all kinds of challenges. The goal is to not let yourself be controlled by fear. But, rather try your very best. All the best to you on your new journey/quest
I've been catching up on your videos the last few days. Your van is an impressive build. Very productive friendly and functional. Yet simple and to the point. I've yet to actually watch any of your other videos as the van build has kept me thoroughly entertained. Great job! 5 stars!!
Dora is the BOMB!! I absolutely LOVE your van and the renovations have been stellar!! I love watching your videos!!! Thank you for the best videos, and amazing content!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!
the zip edit at 10:22 was great! just got a new bike for this season and im pumped to be following along with my favorites again! also that moniter setup is so cleaaaan.
I was just watching the van tour of hannas van from before you even got your van and it would be extremely cool to still put a pop top on the van. In your video about hannas van you mentioned how you would want to have multiple people able to stay in the van at once and that would be a good way to. You could only use the pop top when someone else is there and you could only use the bed/couch when someone is there. It’s not the most logical thing to do but would be super sick.
Been watching Seth's video for weeks, and discovered your channel today. This particular video did it for me. Subscribed to your channel and Seth's. You guys are awesome.
@@AckeEdits Corsair, Razor or MSI make alot better quality stuff than Logitech. Logitech is the cheaper brand in the pc world would recommend any of those 3 before the one you suggested.
@@budman8926 I work in a tech store so I have quite a lot of knowledge when it comes to this, razor and corsair do make a lot of high quality gaming peripherals but Logitech have been developing their wireless products way longer then most others high end brands. This paired with the MX Master being one of the most popular multifunction mouses out there (great for productivity such as editing, programming etc. Hope this clear things up :D
@@budman8926 I agree with Acke on this one. As the owner of a Logitech G Pro wireless I can tell you that they are not the cheapest or worst. I would recommend the MX master for productivity, its the ideal mouse for video editing.
Alex love the van super slick! If it’s not too much of a hassle you should try painting all the wood panels white with some grey areas to give it the modern feel to match the monitor
You should add a pop out table on the left or a bracket to hold your laptop. and have two screens. It's a huge boost to workflow to have the extra screen.
great idea having Seths help I'm a working man and have mad respect for that guy I've been watching you Seth and Brian for a few years glad to see you feeling better making upgrades and getting ready to send it dude I'm pretty sure your van is now jacked and beats the truck I roll my bike around in bike life !!!!!!!!! shoot me your url I just learned how to feature channels
i am so glad i found Seth's and yours channel. the content you both put out never dissapoints no matter what the video is about and you both have really great positivity

Hey Seth I commented this a couple weeks ago but I don't if you saw it. You should try reviewing oval chain rings. Supposedly it makes it easier to climb hills.
love your vids Seth and Alex
that assurance from seth on the possibility of installing that monitor...
Anders Bell Oval chainrings are kinda bs, watch Dylan Johnson’s video on it
Seth review a quiet Kat electronic mtn bike
The editing of installing the screen while seth went over the plan was awesome! Van is sick bro
I’m glad Alex is making vids again, great story telling. Also, Seth = Genius
I'm hoping we get more videos sooner since his production quality is gonna b higher
Man you guys crushed it on this!!
seth is honestly such an amazing friend
If he was my friend i wouldn't know what problems are
Yes
The short-haired guy should install stereos for a living
You made me laugh
Lmao expect an r/whoosh at some point in the comments.
LOL he actually used to do that
@Sverre Siljan Tharaldsen 😂😂😂 good catch!

Next van upgrade could be a custom PC that can both endure the rigors of the road and play new games Alex!
Yooo I'm surprised i found you here baron! Two of my fav youtubers are fans
Now what??? Baron do you like mountain biking
I've got plan for a 500W DCDC sfx power supply :)

This van is the culmination of the best that RUclips offers. You have a group of buddies that are also RUclipsrs, but they are also craftsmen. The collaborations are so good because we get to watch them create awesome things.
So... With the new monitor boosting productivity, does this mean more Singletrack Sampler videos more frequently from now on?
Seth and Alex when there hanging out together working or riding always makes me so happy for some reason they just seem like amazing and fun people and always gets a smile or laugh from me
I feel like whenever Seth is with Alex he slams something into a garbage bin
Cough cough key west cough cough
@@blueberry847 He threw Alex's tire in the bin
@@karlnurm7437 Real ones know.
We ALL need a Seth in our lives. He's so bloody awesome.
I once thought that you were the same person as skills with Phil
wtf
Yeah, me too
Me too!

My uncle made essentially the same exact thing from scratch himself. He absolutely loves it! Travels across the country rock climbing. Just gives you the freedom to do whatever you want, when you want. I would love to build one my self!

Man, i feel really privileged having the planned for 40'' tv i'm staring at in my van! That monitor looks really sharp. Good job guys!
Everyone needs a friend like Seth!
Your van might have 2 recall on it . A shifter cable is one of the recall parts. Also on your air filter housing you might want to check for rust on the screw retaining holes, the screws can get weak and can snap off, grease them
So where exactly does one get a friend like Seth... Seriously insane. Give that man all the awards
Seth needs to start a new channel called "Seth's Van Hacks."

THIS so much!
Don't worry, it's a mac, it was built without airflow in mind.
But yes keep it cool
same goes for the leds. leds dont come that bright without putting off some seriouis heat
@@Keegater how do you give leds no airflow tho
@@aaronallgrunn7845 It was absolutely, 100% not built with airflow in mind. Perhaps the worst cooling laptop you can buy
Dude, you have one of the nicest and most functional RUclipsr van conversions out there. Congrats!
This van build was the craziest thing i watched a year and half ago. Precision to the level of infinity.
Vanception - You filmed this video installing a monitor that you then used to edit the footage.
I have to say that Seth chose a lot of good friends. Everyone he is associated with is down right Awesome and Fun!
4:53 That’s the same thing Seth did to throw away Alex’s old tire on the Key West bikepacking trip!

Velcro a picture over the monitor when it's against the wall.
I always get a smile to my face when I’m watching your videos
I love that edit where seth is screwing in the wall and he just goes zip zip zip zip!

Loving these regular uploads Alex! keep the good work up dude.

I have a question:
How do you avoid buying unecesary thing?
Sorry for my bad spelling
Living in a space where more "stuff" directly makes life really difficult probably helps
you’re pretty good, your only “bad spelling” is a missing ‘s’ in things.

Alex's fridge: *BeeR*
nice beer as well
Not just beer, Three Floyd's
I aspire to have your positivity and Seth's wisdom! It ain't easy, but I'm working on it!
Great video just watched seth’s video and then straight to here 🙌
I wish I had Seth's practical skills and ability to problem solve. He always comes off as a really cool guy ready to help his friends. Congrats on the van upgrades!

This video has nothing to do with single track but honestly one of my favorite ones you have made. Very well done
Staying at a friend's huge ass house from a van must feel like you're at some HQ.

when ur driving u should totally put ur sub count on the monitor
It would be behind him and sideways. Pointless.
Waste of electricity
