My goodness, is that another fire escape for becky, it's huge.
Hi I was nervous watching you I thought about when I was at work some time ago and we used to fit sunroof s in cars you both take care andy
Brilliant video thank you. I want to install one myself, so you have given me the confidence!!
I got a fair bit of wind noise from mine so installed a car boot rubber seal around the edge, just slots on and works perfectly. I can send you a picture, if required👍
Thanks for sharing
What a great idea.😮
Hi Mel, I know some van makes have structural bars that you shouldn't drill in, let alone remove. Do van companies provide this information in the manual or do you have to request it?
Think about what they do when fitting a pop top
@@BigVanSmallWorld yeah just wondering why they fit them.
The main crash protection rail in a van is the larger rail over the cab, which the bulkhead is usually bolted too.
The main ones not to touch are this one, the one in the middle, and obviously the one over the rear doors. The intermediate rails, which are usually made with a thinner metal, such as the one Mel removed, are there to stop excess vibration and can be removed and have a skylight fitted.
If you are installing a 'pop top' these kits should have a structual 'ring beam' that reinforces the roof structure once the original beams have been removed.
If in any doubt, don't touch it, take it to a professional.👍😊
@@tonyfrancis9793 cheers for your in-depth knowledgeable reply. Same goes for the sides too then?
Hi, I have found a problem with my solar generator and now it will not work at all. It is only four months old with very limited use. If they don't sort it soon I will be posting my experience all over every form of social media that I can. Would you like to guess which manufacturer.
is it a bluetti by any chance
@@sixgearsvanlife7868 Lets see if they sort it quickly before I name them. Have you had issues with Bluetti then?
I do hope you get it sorted out 🤞
Just build your own system. Much cheaper, and you get much more battery storage. Plus when something breaks you just have to replace a single piece not your entire system...
Truly amazing job bud this skylight is totally amazing 😊😊 great vlog on yours and Becks channel ❤
Thank you so much 😁
@@BigVanSmallWorld 🤗🤗
Just a quick question, dose the skylight open fully because if it does why didn’t you install it the other way around then Rebecca could open the skylight fully open and clean her solar panels if needed, just a thought, love watching both of your videos
Great idea 👍
How do Mel and Becky. I did already watch the video on Becky's channel-which I also follow and you did a great job fitting it but alway fun watching again on yours. I have thought about having one on Viv-i-van but it kills the stealth mode on her-and I am contemplating either ,along the line when financially viable to either trade her in for a bigger van or get a pop top fitted. Heki roof lights are great but even better if you fit a rubber strip on the top white plastic edge to cut down on wind noise-it used to be horrendous on ours on our motorhome. Bessy regs-Kenny
Thanks 🙏
Hi Mel problem and wondered if you mite be able to help fitting a 5kw heater this wk ed and can't seam to get power to the control panel all seam easy but the control panel is just blank I did have to make the wire longer but can't see where this is the problem unless you know different lol help ,,,,,,,
Hi Mel you seem to know your stuff. Question i have 3 110amp agm batteries just wondering do I need to ground them if yes what size cable would I need, the earth point is 2.5m away from the batteries.
Hello Mel
Great video. Quick question... does the structural work you are doing on Becky's van void the warranty as it is a new vehicle?
Cheers
no we asked ford and they are fine with the work we are doing
What extra height does that give you?
Hi Mel hope your all good. Just wondering if maxpeedings are in the UK? As my diesel heater has packed up 😢 and being full time it's awful. Kind regards Nigel
Great job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Mel, do you need an engineers report if you take out support ? Just wondering 💭 g8 vlog
What’s better glass or acrylic windows?
Hi Mel I'm curious if van lifers are taking into consideration the push to remove fossil fuel cars but not only that but have you looked at the 15 minute city in Oxford.. there is also something about Leeds being a 20 minute one so 'they' are wanting to stop people's movement and it's going to really impede vanlife for people. This isn't just a UK thing you can look up Paris is also going the 15 minute route there are forces above government that are changing the way we live in a huge way.. well I suppose you could call it global governance just wondered what your thoughts are about it as they will be rolled out everywhere.
I’ll worry about that when it happens
#waffle what do you use for getting hot water
yay .... link for skylight ?
In the description 👍
Surely when removing them bars you are weakening structure of vehicle. Would of thought have put something I'm place of it
omg good luck..
Thanks
hi mel...
