12:46
another so this is a sunshine state RV
12:51
spot so looks like they got a rebel setup and some other Vans I saw bringing them here on the
12:57
trailer um getting ready for tonight the fire [Music]
13:10
pit I love the color of the Sprinter it's a Storyteller but I didn't
13:16
know it came in this color this color is it's like a super dark
13:22
[Music]
13:27
blue this van is very nice I saw this earlier
13:37
[Music]
13:43
today all right I'm going to circle back around but this is uh the talking tree
13:49
so this is where they're going to do uh like teachings and stuff like that like seminar courses I guess you could say
13:56
from uh experts [Music]
14:04
and then this starts the row of vans so everybody that's here today and then each flag is represents a road and so
14:12
look how many look how many lanes you have and so each one designated to you know whatever it is so this one's
14:19
Sunshine Avenue and then it extends over to this side and then you've got a bunch of Vans
14:27
over here so it's a very organized
14:32
event and uh it's it's a very relaxing event too I mean
14:38
it's the vibe here is just super comfortable hang
14:44
out there's a lot of space between the Vans I mean obviously they're Bumper to Bumper but in the middle it's really
14:54
nice the weather is perfect today I mean it's been like 68° all
15:03
[Music]
15:11
day try to get a wider shot
15:19
[Music]
15:27
here [Music]
15:35
[Music]
15:43
okay we're going to go down Ripple Road and make a big
15:57
circle
16:11
[Music]
16:27
another
16:39
oh that's cool yeah I mean there's all kinds of
16:46
Vans I saw this one last year
16:57
too
17:07
lot of
17:21
dogs yep they do make custom mattresses um so just a quick answer on the
17:27
mattress that fits like a Ford Transit you're going to have a typical area for about a it's called a
17:34
short queen or a queen short or RV short queen there's bunch of different ways
17:39
that they explain how it's measured but that's typically taking a 78 in x 60
17:48
mattress and then they take it down to um 74 in so it's like 60x
17:56
74 so 60x 74 it's kind kind of what you're working with um if you don't want
18:02
to do bump outs and you want to save some size with the kitchen galy area you can do a full size mattress mattress and
18:09
again they're going to be called short full so this is not sponsored but uh Brooklyn bed Brooklyn bedding.com is a
18:18
uh place that I get mattresses from and they have RV sized
18:25
mattresses uh I think the website might even be RV mattresses
18:30
however what they do is they have those particular Dimensions that are more
18:35
closely related to an RV mattress So when you buy it it's going to be something that's closer to start
18:42
from you're not having to you need to have a dimension to start
18:47
from and if you want bed sheets to fit number one and number two if you want to have something that's already in stock
18:53
and you don't have to have custom made you're going to want to uh
18:59
there's Rover
19:04
good Peter from Rover van um so if you don't want to have if
19:09
you want something that's off the shelf that is made for RVs try to stick with standard dimensions and then build your
19:15
platform bed area location to suit uh for an
19:21
example um that would be my first idea the second one is yeah you can just get
19:27
your own foam and make your own mattress uh that's another way to do it
19:38
so hopefully that helps you can ask me a question too I can see it in the chat so
19:43
if you want a better answer I'm pretty sure I can come up with
19:51
one let's check this
19:56
out always got check if there's somebody in here cuz we're getting towards the afternoon to
20:01
where people might be hanging out in their
20:08
van oh yeah got the wood firewood cool pull out fridge
20:17
nice the AL Van's rear box everybody's really happy with those I haven't put
20:23
one on the van yet Somali racks
20:39
got a skylight air conditioner and a that's a f uh that's a fantastic
20:44
fan maybe not a Max fan not

21:10
um so this is Moxy van Moxy vanco so again we did do a
21:16
video on them so if you want to see these guys you can look at Adventure van Expo Chattanooga there's think three
21:23
videos and they're in two of them
21:30
little battery system behind the scenes
21:44

21:50

Pano here's Zach on the golf cart one of the guys that's running this

very comfortable out here I guess it happens when everybody's
23:55
kind of on vacation but uh yeah the music's
24:00
great all the V oh there's another row I didn't see that I think they added this row uh
24:12
[Music] later so that's when we went down with the lobster as you can see by the
24:20
sign and then yeah we got a backside we love our look at the trees man that's
24:29
nice uh-oh we can't cross the
24:37
streams that's funny that's a live stream of the live
24:45
stream let's check this out oh look at that bike
24:56
carrier yeah they added a whole new row back here very
25:02
nice look at that window that's
25:07
cool let sneak up on Scott here just for a
25:22
secondes 2 G toilet this Fan's
25:35
awesome if you guys could watch two live streams at the same time this would be the time to do
25:42
it watch Scott's uh Channel and then we can do this [Laughter]
25:49
one probably at
25:55
9,600 let's see is that a mini split on the
26:01
back it that is crazy a look at that guys a mini split on the back of
26:14
this so basically what this van is it's you've got a Transit but then it's got a
26:19
empty chassis so this is where you'd have that big cut out um Behind
26:25
The Bu volat or what you want to call it and then it's
26:30
sealed to make that
26:42
transition all
26:48
right all right guys um I can do a little Q&A here if anybody's got some questions I'm just going to walk
26:56
around flip the camera on here yeah see if you guys have any
27:03
questions I know it look super tired but that is because I drove 10 hours
27:09
yesterday we were we were thinking that we would get to the event in the afternoon but you know stopping for gas
27:18
eating it just uh you know gets away from me so we I
27:23
got a hotel and then we loaded in at 8:00 this morning
27:29
so
27:37
yep are there eco-friendly ways to build Camper vans
27:46
um uh I do not I did not see Sports mobile at this venue your dining right
27:53
here let's see eco friendly ways to build a camper van
27:59
I mean if you're really trying to I mean the first thing I mean everybody's going to say going from
28:06
solar but the way that you're kind of recouping maybe your power or the way
28:12
that you're taking care of you know maybe how you're taking care of your shower
28:20
or the other two items um that might be a good way to have some type of impact
28:27
uh so not to get all on the whole Eco stuff but you know supporting like
28:35
wildernesses Parks uh Recreation facilities uh like with Luchi River park
28:41
right behind these woods they have dedicated space where you can go and you can camp and like so keeping not to go
28:48
to rant about keeping these places alive but making sure that you have dedicated
28:53
places to actually go and support I think is really good for the whole van community in general um CU
29:01
if you don't have a place to go and hang out and have a good time just like this event uh then those those areas won't be
29:08
available anymore so um I don't know if that's a good answer to how to uh
29:17
Eco e e Eco build a van all right what else we got George
29:24
let's see if you come here as a fan and not a
29:31
builder would you recommend day pass or staying off site
29:37
um let's see how would I answer
29:43
that see if you're if you're coming as a van
29:49
a fan so here this is a here's the deal so
29:54
when you come here you want to understand that you're going to stay here and not come and go like camping
30:02
for all day Friday Saturday Sunday leave Monday now good evening everyone let me
30:09
see if I can hope you enjoyed uh John over here where you guys can hear me coming up in a few uh if
30:16
you're doing day passes you could stay in town do a day pass so I would completely encourage doing a day pass
30:22
however uh I'm not sure how many day passes are still available I know the
30:28
sold out really quickly um all the vendor spots uh sold out to the point
30:33
where um there's options for me for example to speak like if only to talk about power or inverters or solar or
30:39
something like that I could but they had already filled that up that's what happens at the Talking Tree back there
30:45
so that happens tomorrow I'm not sure how that's going to work with the rain but I'm sure we'll manage but yeah a day
30:52
pass you can get all of that happening and then you can go down to dat City or
30:57
Zephyr Hills and you can get a hotel room um and then just kind of come and go cuz it's only it's a 17 minute drive
31:05
from Zephyr Hills about you know 15 minutes from
31:11
uh n maybe 20 minutes depending on where the hotels are we're live actually
31:16
what's up um I'd introduce you introduce yourself
31:25
I'm Josh from Van lifee outfitters we're here we're here at peace love and vans
31:30
2024 and we're having a great time everybody's just getting in and there's God there's several hundred people here
31:37
and the weather's beautiful look at that Sunset yes we're having a great time here with my buddy Nick you guys are
31:43
doing a great job thank you thank you there yeah they're doing great um there you go you get to meet people
31:50
who are running the event so regardless if you come and you have a a day pass or
31:57
you camp here I would suggest camping if you're thinking about doing anything
32:02
with like a camper van or anything like that do an event like this because here
32:08
so I have a a couple of tips for you this is a easy way to get into this type
32:15
of uh community and hang out and kind of experience the van life uh I don't want to co it van life
32:22
just camper van nature outside CU what we're doing is there's a bunch of people here
32:27
you know everybody's just hanging out not that many people know each other it's just we're all we like the outdoors
32:33
we like traveling either working our vans or just like taking a vacation the reason this is a good place
32:40
to start is like you're not completely leaving the comfort from like a nice
32:45
restaurant or someplace to go get food so you're not having to stock your whole entire van up and get uh get a ton of
32:53
food and then figure out how to actually cook the whole ENT entire weekend yes
32:59
you know it's more expensive to to eat out with the food TRS and stuff like that but that's you know you don't have
33:05
to spend time cooking breakfast or lunch or dinner or something like that you can
33:11
just experience it meet some new friends new new people eat off the food trucks
33:18
they got coffee they got donuts so that kind of takes all the whole cooking side off the equation and then other what's
33:25
great too is there's so many Vans here that before you commit to let's just say
33:32
a van chassis or a ProMaster or transit or Sprinter or whatever there's hundreds of vans that
33:38
you can go through and you can uh get it get a taste of what you what
33:47
you think you want to do without committing to it if that makes sense because I've heard a lot of people
33:54
they'll build a first van or they'll start a van and then there's just there's so many things that they wish they had done but they've already
34:01
committed to like a fridge or a power system and I mean you guys can see it here I mean you can just go
34:07
around and you can just go to each one of these Vans and just have a Notes app pulled up
34:13
on your phone and then just go through you can just take pictures just go through uh like that's what we do when I
34:19
when we uh put together an article or a blog post I have we got all the ideas of all
34:25
the stuff that we want to talk about and explain and then we come here and then we can show you
34:30
guys all of those different things that in one spot so we might have 10 ideas in
34:37
one blog post from four shows and take a bunch of pictures get
34:42
an idea of what you want to start with so I mean there's people here that some of their Vans are like half done um
34:51
some Vans are uh empty they're just they're they're camping camping in their
34:56
van um it's not even finished uh let me let me pop pause
35:07
here had a car boot sale oh wow we got some more
35:17
questions uh so Justin said I'm from UK and Scotland is the place to visit in
35:25
a van I can't wait wait for the summer yeah Scotland that would be a place I'd love to go check out a van uh
35:33
experience in the van um oh thanks
35:39
George I don't know if I'm ever ending the whole thought process that I started
35:45
so thanks for keeping me in check all right I'm just going to keep doing circles I'm going to answer
35:51
questions so um it's going to be a little bit longer of a stream because the weather can
35:58
change on us tomorrow and I don't want to make sure that you guys have a chance to get some questions answered while
36:03
we're live at the event hanging out
36:10
um it's hard to do interviews because we're live CU everybody's wanting to do just a short video like a longer
36:16
conversation and uh that's the only downside about doing live stream is it's uh it's got to keep
36:24
moving all right um let's see where do we want to
36:30
go okay we're going to take answers from now until we get back to Odyssey custom
36:40
vans I thought I was going to wear like a work shirt and then you know my puffy earlier the day and uh I'm telling you
36:48
the the weather is so nice here I'm not sure what to
36:54
do just take it in I will stop working in a second I'll
36:59
enjoy the event I'll walk around get some food and my brother's here too so Jamie
37:07
you've seen him uh he's one of the photos on Van builder hq's website so
37:12
he's helping me with uh the event today set up helping get the van off the trailer um stuff like
37:19
that but uh oh that's a good option he's staying off site so what we've done is
37:25
that would be a thing where you could have somebody stay on site now for act like I'm not a vendor but you could have
37:31
somebody on site and then there's somebody on a day pass that could come in if you guys are local or you want to
37:37
have a second car get the camping spot get the day pass and you can kind of come and go
37:43
um so don't quote me on that um let's see here what else do we
37:51
want to see yeah um Peter's still setting up it's a tough drive and
37:58
they're coming all the way from uh Chicago I'm pretty
38:04
sure live
38:11
more you go we can say hi to the dogs really quick you know you get the pros you can
38:18
do multiple colors you can do back hello
38:25
hello there you go did you know you're on a live
38:33
stream oh jealous got some
38:38
jealousy oh yes lots of dogs
38:53
here um let's see Dart the conine pop
39:03
top so George did you see that while I was walking around I did not I'm not
39:08
paying attention I'm doing like 20 things at one time here I go back to my face there we

43:00
all right so is it okay if a hop in the van yeah
43:07
sure awesome I always like to ask CU sometimes they it's not set up for that
43:14
yep look at that I'm pretty sure that's Colorado Colorado camper
43:20
van it's got it is it has to be all right so this is
43:26
van tour please is there a particular van that
43:31
you saw during this stream that we'd like to go back to because we probably only got a couple more minutes um of
43:40
daylight so this is yeah Colorado camper van pop top got the fridge this is a
43:47
truck fridge actually yes Colorado camper van so this
43:52
is one in a low roof which I've had I've actually not experienced and oh look at that look
44:01
at that with this movie screen oh
44:08
man I got to talk to Grant see if I can get the sports mobile build where I don't think I saw a sports
44:16
mobile build let's see
44:21
here Sports mobile build
44:31
oh this one so this one looks this one okay George you're saying this one looks like a sports mobile
44:41
build oh that's right I'm you're delayed okay I'll slow
44:49
down there we
44:54
go yeah let's check out the uh so looks
45:01
like we got like a some Raptor liner Baja
45:06
design LP 6s I
45:12
believe um I'm guessing that's an aluminous ladder I don't know what tire carrier
45:19
that
45:24
is no it does it does look like a sports mobile you're you're definitely right about that I could definitely see how
45:30
this looks just like a sports mobile build but this is cool look at that
45:36
these break down so you can actually maybe store snowboards or something like
45:54
that see what else
46:08
here T-Mobile and Verizon are really that little porch area that is super
46:21
cool Echo but seeing the way she's Ming it
46:27
looks like it feels like Shew out but it's just like imbalan there's
46:37
Maran from livmore Camper
46:50
vans oh this is cool
46:57
like that VY graphic looks
47:07
awesome these guys know how to do it look at
47:14
[Music]
47:24
this
47:29
the let's see if there's anybody over [Music] here a couple people checking out the
47:41
van all right last round of questions last round I'm getting walked
47:48
this walked around I see something new every time I go around so it's not a bad
47:54
thing
48:05
all right we already looked at site seven those things are that thing is awesome and this looks really
48:23
good yeah just clean
48:30
let's see do we have who's who we got on here not sure how many people we got on here I'm going to
48:36
go while I have everybody looking let's go check out Odyssey custom
48:43
vans here we go all right guys so this is our
48:49
2020 Ford Transit all wheeel Drive we've got the European Transit Trail Grill
48:56
um you can actually get that off of eBay and it comes out of Grease believe it or
49:02
not again this van is currently for sale you can go to Odyssey custom fans.com
49:08
and look at this full spec sheet of everything that's in here uh the
49:13
adventure wagon interior and then all of our Flatline vanco components and this
49:18
thing is loaded with Flatline vanco so the bed system is Flatline vanco the
49:25
upper cabinets our Flatline vanco um the kitchen Galley so this so I
49:33
modified this uh for an isotherm Cruise 130 uh thanks to uh go and do one of our
49:40
subscribers so this I was not going to I didn't think this could fit and during
49:46
the live stream I kind of played around with it and I was like man that's perfect and I did it we've got so that
49:53
is the 24inch Flatline vanc galley this one is the 41
49:58
in and this can fit a 65 isotherm
50:06
isotherm 65 drawer fridge but I'm using this box of there's a portable toilet in
50:12
there and it's to show that this can be a space for uh a toilet for example or
50:19
you can have a pullout step and a microwave which is probably the final result that's the final thing I'm
50:25
probably going to do to this we have a contour microwave with a stainless bezel and then a drawer that pops out for
50:32
extra storage but it has traction tape on top so that you can pull it out lockin drawer slide and then you can hop
50:39
up in the bed um just to help out with hopping up
50:44
in the bed uh we got a Reva sink this is the 15x 20 and so this uh very very nice
50:53
you can see here we've got tons of room we we got enough room for 14 gallons of gray water storage so that's a 7 gallon
51:00
tank uh I got that off of Panther RV and then you can kind of see how the Vera
51:05
fits in there and I look at that I mean that's a very deep sink everybody loves
51:10
deep sinks um over here we've got the fredman flip and go seat which is
51:19
awesome if you can see here look at this I've got all this room to walk around in the van um but then when we have this
51:26
seat here we can uh it actually looks like
51:31
somebody came in and tried to mess with it which that's fun um but it flips down just like that
51:40
super easy now this is the compromise when you have this small area to work with is
51:46
swiveling seats and putting tables in everything kind of has to you know everybody has to be friends
51:54
in here when you're moving all this stuff around um let's pull this up so
51:59
you guys can see what it looks like and I'm doing it one-handed so it's
52:05
it should be pretty easy but check this out there's your two additional
52:11
passengers uh seat beled three-point
52:17
harness and yeah so you can actually have a space to hang out with four
52:24
people there a room for another Lagoon table Mount I actually pre-drilled it over there just in case the next owner
52:29
wants to uh or the new owner would like to do
52:35
that um so the drawer fridge
52:40
is it they do the 65 does have a little it's like a little baby freezer section
52:47
um but you're not going to get that much food storage but you do get a small freezer box and then you do
52:54
have uh a refrigerator area mostly just for cans for example um but yeah there's the flip and
53:01
fold I'm going to fold It Away really
53:06
quick look at this so I'm doing this one-handed just take your hand grab the uh release and it's it's hydraulically
53:14
assisted and then you can come down here and then you can actually just so it doesn't rattle and move this secures it
53:22
in place um really nice uh the
53:28
fridge just got a bunch of drinks in there um yeah I cruise
53:34
130 and then down here in the floor we've got the hidden now we're going to coat this
53:41
piece of wood I just left it raw cuz we got a lot of people walking in and out of the van but this is Tetra Van's
53:48
hidden shower it's not the flip and fold down shower it's just the shower pan itself um so that's pretty
54:00
awesome oh very important for tetran um
54:05
you need to put filt here because I'm going to have to fix a little scratch
54:12
right there do you see that you guys so this uh this is not by tetran I'm
54:18
pretty sure this is uh I got it from another company but you need
54:23
to um let me reverse all of that this is not
54:29
tetran this is tetran what I meant to say is if you wanted to put something like this in the
54:35
floor don't use this method cu the compression will take the screw and the
54:42
screw will uh Nick that right there so you
54:47
just need to make sure that you have some type of uh protection when
54:53
you're putting the putting the a piece of floor in So I'll have to fix
54:58
that um let's see underneath here this is a good Vantage Point we've got our 600 amp hours of uh lithium iron
55:06
phosphate they're the Renegy smart lithium batteries um now this is all part of a
55:13
system that all works together and it's the Rigo system and it's actually
55:19
coupled with the M1 controller so the M1 controller this is going to allow you to
55:26
uh connect all your devices so we got both of our DC todc Chargers um we don't have any sun right now but you can go
55:33
through and find out you know how much power and stuff that you're uh consuming and then if you slide it you
55:41
can see the inverter but the inverter is off so that's not populated we've got
55:46
how much is being drained right now between the fridge and lights about 9.52
55:52
amps got 473 3 amp hours remaining um and then we've got our
55:59
interior lights our indirect lights and then this one right here is our outdoor
56:06
light and so this is a switch and it's super clean look at that simple all you
56:12
need one spot the max van 7500 K it's
56:17
hanging out right there and this is the Renegy Rigo 3000 W pign wave inverter
56:24
charger and the Webasto Bluetooth 3.0 for the
56:30
Evo 40 that's right there so it's right there is where the vasto Evo 40
56:37
is we got a little plant and then this is a short queen 74 in by 60 in there
56:47
are no bump outs on this van this is just the interior bump outs from Adventure wagon again Adventure wagon is
56:54
the whole ENT enire interior system that we're we got right now um and then this is just completely
57:02
full like I've got you know all my snacks and
57:07
uh stuff like that for the event this is a really cool uh faucet
57:15
idea so this is how we're doing our indoor shower so this right here will
57:21
open and close to change where the water the flow of the water is is um but I I
57:26
found one that is stainless and it just it looks really nice it looks so nice in
57:32
my opinion that you can just leave it and then still just do whatever you want to do um so that is what we use and then
57:41
over here we've got our cord for a shower and then we've actually also got
57:46
our an induction stove and all of that fits into this could be your civilware drawer there's also a drawer down here
57:55
and these are oversized drawers so they're they're bigger than a normal drawer um and they're soft
58:02
clothes and they latch all right let's work our way over
58:09
to I just want to show everybody this the door has been open the whole time and nobody can see this really
58:15
cool uh vinyl that I've got on the van so just wanted to show that to you this
58:22
same thing is going to be going on the hood so stay tuned for
58:29
that um as far as tires we've got the BFG goodw wrench
58:34
k2s that everyone loves the size of these tires the biggest tire that you
58:40
can get without a fact without a lift
58:45
2557016 so that's what you want to look for and that's the biggest tire that's not going to
58:51
rub um and then we've got got Flatline vanco
58:56
gear rack we've got some traction boards right there uh so we make our way to the back
59:02
of the van on the doors we've got Vander Moon so that is uh what Peter sells from
59:10
Rover Vans these things are awesome more Flatline vanco components
59:16
we've got our drawer slide 500 lb drawer slide and uh got it extended
59:25
it goes in you guys know um and then we've got our really cool nighttime
59:33
light and I think I talked about in the live stream on how I integrated that into the channel of the 8020 so I mean
59:40
it looks like something from Tron all right um Water Systems under
59:49
here we've got 40 Gall of Northwest conversion water tank and a 4 gallon
59:54
residential Bosch hot water fyama f45s awning and that's a
1:00:01
rigid Industries scene light in Amber um man look at that view of the
1:00:08
