Excellent finish and quality

Great video. A nice way to make the plywood stable is to route a channel into the middle of the sides where they meet. Then you sandwhich an aluminum bar between the two pieces when they meet. Then you can also screw into the plywood through the aluminum bar and into the plywood after the bar from the top. I'm not sure that makes sense but it made my flooring rock solid. It really wasn't hard to do either. I also made sure that my insulation below the plywood had. seams in completely different places.

Super clean build Sam! Thanks for sharing!

Master Craftsmanship.... 🔨

Excellent explanation of method and high quality finish as always. I like your first van build especially and rebuilt mine along similar lines after making the mistake of building it in a layout like this and learning just how bad a layout this is the year following in it. As soon as you pull out the bed, itself difficult when the van is shut up as there is no where to stand, you can no longer move easily through the van and you can no longer open most of your cabinets. Nor is there room for two persons to sit at a table, which i managed by adopting the bed across the back as is common. Nor here do you get a garage but instead an overlarge area is dedicated to a rarely used shower and is therefore a very poor use of space. Don't make the mistake I did by doing this.

@MoserMakes

Hey thanks for sharing I think this is a good perspective for others to think about when choosing a van layout as there are lots of tradeoffs when designing for a small space. I too like layouts with a bed across the back that makes room for gear storage underneath. This build was a custom build for a client though, and they specifically wanted this layout and so far have been really happy with it!

Nice work! Definitely a craftsman. What do you think about running all the wires into a conduit so you can run new wires if needed?

@MoserMakes

Ай бұрын

Thanks! Good question and a little complicated but I'll try to answer as best I can. I think it can be a good idea in theory but may be hard to execute effectively in a van. The biggest issue that comes to mind is that fitting conduit everywhere needed would be hard as there aren't always good wide passages for wires between wall sections within the van and often you have to fish wire through smaller gaps and hard to access areas. This varies a lot between the different manufactures too. I don't think it would be worth trying to cut holes all through the inner wall structure for the sake of running and conduit and also access is so limited inside many of the wall spaces that I don't think you could easily cut holes anyway. Running the conduit at the wood framing level (outside metal van structure but inside wall panels) probably wouldn't be practical as the wall framing would have to be thick to accommodate the size of the conduit (size depends on number of wires inside - lookup conduit fill tables). Beyond this, once you start talking about a closed conduit system you need to adhere to NEC conduit fill rules otherwise you can run into issues of wiring getting too hot in the conduit. Inside the conduit you really need to use single conductor wires as opposed to a bundled wire as the conduit size for wires in their own containers would be impractical. Then once you switch to individual stranded wire you run into other issues like how NEC prohibits running high voltage and low voltage wires in the same conduit which would then mean separate conduit runs for the 12V and 120V circuits. it becomes a slippery slope of figuring out an effective way to do it inside a van from here. If you search around on the sprinter-source forum there are some old threads on this with some interesting discussion. I've dug through some of this in past when trying to come up with my idea of wiring best practices. I think I had searched around the terms "conduit" or "Smurf tube" to find the threads. If you want to be able to easily change or add wires later then it may be more practical to just plan to run wiring outside of the walls and hide it inside cabinets. Or you could use pieces of conduit or closed loom (no split in the side as the split gets trouble some when pulling cable through) through just certain hard to reach wall sections you may want to run wire through later. Leaving a "pull string" inside the loom would additionally make it easier to a pull a wire through later but a narrow fish tape could also probably navigate it.

Incredible as always! I really appreciate your videos, it's such a good learning space, thank you for sharing :) May I ask how much time roughly did you put into it? I am considering building one DIY and I am just curious.

@MoserMakes

Ай бұрын

Thank you! Too much time on this one haha! You can really put as little or as much time into a van conversion depending on how detailed you get with each part. My very first van conversion I didn't track closely but estimated it at about 400+ hours. Each van after has gotten longer not shorter as I've increased the level of intricacy of both the woodwork and the built in systems (and significantly longer - more than double - on this one).

Excellent video and gorgeous van build!!! For the palisade tile - what did you use for that inside corner trim?

@MoserMakes

Ай бұрын

Thanks! I didn’t use any inside corner trim. Palisade sells a matching inside trim profile but I wasn’t sure if it would be able to handle the curve in the outside wall. So I just made sure I had clean cuts on the edge of the tile (they cut and sand easy with normal wood cutting tools) and butted them together. Besides the adhesives I used a clear silicone behind each seem and then once done I added a bead of white silicone done that whole inside corner. Not using inside trim worked fine since I didn’t have a confined edge on the other side. If it was a back wall between two fixed walls then I’m not sure it would work without the trim as some side to side movement is needed to get the tongue and grooves of the last tile slid together (the palisade install pdf has a good illustration of this).
