    Thought I'd add a comment for the algorithm. You are probably my favorite vanlife content creator. I originally found you when looking for tutorial videos but your funny personality and honesty kept me watching all of your videos. It's just an extra treat when it happens to be an actual van building/maintenance video now. I'm happy for ya and wish you the best!

    The brush that Julie was using is called a deck brush, they are a must have in any home.

    I genuinely like that you don’t “gloss over” your errors in judgment. Your character and excellent sense of humor are why I’ve followed DCVM from the beginning.
    Handle leak: Carefully applied thin bead of silicone all around the outside of the latch housing; same on the inside. If you want to fix it permanently, take the latch apart and replace the rubber. I just did this on my SUV.
    Totally looking forward to the insulation/sound deadening. I think it’s the single thing that made the biggest difference in maintaining a temperate (and private) mobile living space. 🌿🐾🌀💗

    And so it begins! I love how thorough your conversion videos are. Yes there was only one van before, but nothing is too small especially when it could cause much worse problems later. You don’t just tell…you show. I love also how you describe the van as both of yours ❤️ And those string and Lima beans, you know those are the only kind we all can’t get enough of!🐶

    LOL "we're not quitters were gonna stick with our terrible decision"😄 Glad I found you though....just pulled up the floor of a 2000 conversion van and see some rust, not THROUGH, but definitely needs attention. I'll spray like you did then (brush/roll) on the rustoleum😉Have you ever heard of covering the floor holes with silicone and a penny??

    You could have used marine sealant if you wanted the longest lasting sealant and the toughest stuff as it’s marine grade.

    Recommend you check out George Mauro if Humble Road on RUclips. He's a meticulous van builder with lots if good ideas. One you should think about us he specs out his entire build in cardboard, so he & his customers can get a true feeling of how the space works. About her thing he dies us he makes all the wiring accessible. Check him out! Cheers, Keren.

    • @dogcatmanvan
      @dogcatmanvan  2 года назад +1

      I actually talked with George a bit about our heated floor system a few weeks ago. We also did some cardboard templates for our layout along with a 3d rendering in order to properly plan for our aluminum extrusion. I'll be making this build far more easy to trouble shoot in comparison to my last one!
