Good idea!

The details are starting to add up for the overall home look. Nicely done

The brush idea was genius

I’ve been following the build and that duct is pure genius!!!

You should put a good water filter on the AC drain and run it into your water tank.. replenish your water supply as you keep cool.. that can be up to 3 gallons in 24hr period.. I know that doesn't sound like a lot.. but,off grid, every drop,is worth it's weight in gold and, could even save your life if it's running on rooftop solar . Say you break down a hundred miles from nowhere.. you can get enough water to cook,stay clean and hydrated.. just an idea.. PS... I think you should have used a floor model AC

Everything from the watch, editing, to the spec to the more expensive but great longevity choices I don’t mind any wait on your video uploads. I applaud you and doing it’s right the first time. Taking many precautions have me so much perspective into my build. Your the Michael Jordan of van conversions. Only criticism would be letting us your kmow your prices per project/video or sq ft

Your build is looking awesome,I’m learning a ton ,great ideas and the methods of connecting the materials ensuring longevity in the shake rattle and roll of road use!

To prevent molding under your mattress you want some airflow under there somehow.

You are a true construction guy just by how ur explaining everything ur doing. Love this job u earned this subscribe for inspiring me

cant wait for the next video

Still loving the new voice over style! It's really fun to watch your build, can't wait to see it finished!

Am sure not quite done --but man oh man this seems like you are putting a nice finish and polishing things- episode to me, Wonderful job !

I've watched another van build that did wallpaper, it ended up not being a good choice for them since the trucks can go through dramatic temperature changes quickly and their paper peeled off, but they didn't insulate nearly as well as you, so I'm sure yours will be fine.

Good point. I will be putting it to the test! My climate control will be second to none.

great job!!

Fyi the "just wait 20 minutes and the weather will change" it's not just a Houston thing it's a everywhere in the country thing every area says that. Everyone thinks it's their own local saying.

First time viewer and subscriber. Good job.

Looks good. Might want to consider adding turning vanes to the ductwork to direct the airflow in the directions you want it to go. Right now, the air exits the A/C and slams into the back wall of the ductwork, then turbulent air eventually makes it out into the living spaces. Probably wont even notice it, but you seem to be a stickler for precision and efficiency. If the ductwork shakes or rattles, turbulence is likely the cause.

Yeah I'm already looking to fine-tune the ducting. It definitely needs vanes, I just have to figure out how to make them in a way that allows me to direct the air left or right.

@@TheTechnoBarbarian looks like your AC has six discharge ports; Don't know how big your sleeping area is, but I would consider putting a splitter plate in the duct, sending two ports to the sleeping area and four into the main living area. Then, install a couple of vanes in each.

Van Life is an Earthquake on the Inside and a Tornado on the Outside.

Did you want to add a heater for when winter comes?

I cannot express enough how great this is. How does the AC perform in the middle of a hot day? I'm assuming it only feels cool when it blows on you.

My ducting inhibits the cooling power pretty significantly, it will take some tuning. It makes 100 degrees bearable though.

I love this. I am looking to do the same exact thing as you are so this is perfect. Once I start my project are you by any chance available for a question or two if I run into something I need to figure out? -Mirek

what putty/filler is that?

Shouldn't the air return be at least as large as the front intake of the AC? Is it pulling air around the top edge of the fridge? Hard to tell.

@TheTechnoBarbarian

Yeah that's what the open gap is for between the new shelf and the shelf holding the A/C unit. To allow for air to flow from the fridge area

I am in the process... i own a minisplit AC, aside from the stealth factor of mounting the compressor on the back, would the same concept work? or too much draw?

@@TheTechnoBarbarian So I wrote a long response to this, that musta gotten lost in space... Thanks for replying tho! I shortly figured out that my mini split is AC only, no heat pump.. and at 18000BTU, major overkill...I plan on selling it and getting a high SER mini split with a heat pump... I'm so excited to get my truck going! BTW... SHINER city limit??? made me laugh so hard, we called people Shine all the time here in MI =)

Could you please give me the exact Width of your box truck?? I really struggling with my plan layout of my dream box truck home cause I dont know exactly the Width of a box truck.

Although mountains are really nice,many of us would not want to spend a whole summer at super high elevations. With his solar and electrical capacity, he will have the ability to turn on his a/c ,leave it on,and walk away and return to a nice cool humidity free environment whether it's in Galveston or death valley!

@@opossumgrylls3275 you can improve the quality of the video through setting, but the problem is you don't know how to take a video. Please learn how to shoot a video for youtube. If you keep any object very close to your eyes, you can't see anything. First, you should know where to place the camera, otherwise you're wasting everyone's time. This is very basic for KZread.
