2:57
all right guys welcome to the southeast Oakland Expo it's a little bit of a cloudy rainy day
3:06
it's supposed to stop in about an hour so that's good but uh
3:12
it's probably good that it's raining because it's 77 degrees I think it was supposed to be 87 this morning
3:18
before the rain was coming in so that's pretty good and coffee
3:24
this guy's broken old-school coffee maker
3:31
um went in talked to uh hung out with a Livermore Camper vans yesterday and said
3:37
hi to them they have a new build that we're going to do a tour of today [Music]
3:42
so we'll do that and then we've got trying to figure out which place to go
3:49
first we'll probably do vans first and then we'll [Music] so we'll probably do vans first and then
3:57
we'll get into some of the overlining stuff so we'll do that and then we'll go over
4:02
to the Royal Enfield Booth check out the motorcycles check out the the Himalayan
4:09
um hopefully I can get to ride one I can ride one that'd be really cool and then we'll just move back around and
4:15
uh and then we'll probably do like another loop or something like that but um yeah definitely want to get in a couple interviews this trip show you
4:22
guys uh yeah just what's out there in the community and I hope you guys enjoy the video today
4:27
[Music] all right guys so over there to my right
4:33
they have the trail everybody's hopping on that would have been cool to take the
4:39
motorcycle on but I'm gonna we're gonna do that next year
4:45
I wonder if I can like hop on a ride with somebody and go down the trail
4:50
but uh we're heading right now over to the Royal Enfield booth so I'm gonna try to uh
4:56
check out one of these himalayans
5:15
[Music] foreign
5:23
[Music]
5:36
guys check it out we're at Backwoods Adventure mods we got Mo here with us and they do accessories for both Transit
5:43
and sprinters so we're gonna let Mo take us through a couple of the products you have all right
5:49
um we'll start right here this is our Jerry's can holder this one will be out uh hopefully three to four weeks we're
5:55
hoping to be able to use this on band platforms G platforms Toyota platforms should be able to mount to any rear
6:02
carrier okay plenty of mounting options for the rear all aluminum no welds so it's all hooked together the ability to
6:09
hold you know a variety of cans whether it be two Roto packs and a Jerry can two
6:15
Jerry cans or two front runner cans um so that one's one we're coming out with soon pretty excited about that
6:22
another product we'll soon be able to offer folks later this year this one's a little further down the line this is our
6:29
Scout style bumper for the transit more of a center cut so as accommodations for
6:35
a winch solid recovery point um as you can see we've got a 12 000 worn VR Evo in there and it houses it
6:42
just fine like I said we've done pulls from it everything works uh as intended yeah that's something we're super
6:48
excited about I like how it's the Contour here um because other bumpers you know kind
6:55
of gets a little ragged oh yeah but uh well that's what they want to do you know we want to make it seem you know
7:01
fit seamlessly uh Cuts be easy you know and this this one kind of did the did
7:08
all that and you got protection or at least as much protection as you can for the uh the intercooler yeah yep as far
7:15
as we can we've exceeded Ford's requirements for airflow so all that checks out and everything like that so
7:20
you don't have to worry about you know or are you going to do damage to the motor or something like that make it run hot
7:26
um I kind of like how the user's spaced out further because I think that was an issue like the d-rings were kind of
7:33
false yeah and that's that was one things that uh our guys worked on for exactly that reason you said you start
7:39
getting sensor warnings and stuff makes it a painted drive so um came back cleaned all that up
7:45
um I just drove it 16 hours no sensory issues anything like that drove like a
7:50
dream heck yeah when uh once it come out um we're hoping uh by July you should be
7:56
able to start selling these yeah so we'll be be pretty excited yeah pretty excited another item on the
8:04
on this Transit we're going to be coming out with later this year not sure on timeline but we've got a mid-roof rack a
8:10
mid-roof ladder for the mid-roof transit folks of the world same style ladder we
8:15
make for our Sprinter so solid has the tread able to climb it simple you know and it leads up to our
8:22
Drifter roof rack which we've been offering modular style roof rack yeah I'm able to work around your your max
8:29
air fans ACS stuff like that that you've got up top we've got two solar panels up there and then we've got our max air fan
8:36
that's running right now but yeah those are a couple things we've got coming out we've also got a new bumper coming out
8:43
for the Sprinter you may have seen that we were actually doing orders for it right now if not get over the website and check it
8:51
out awesome so where can they find you Mo uh backwoodsadventure mods.com heck
8:56
yeah yeah thanks so much for the tour dude pleasure man hey everyone Nick from vembler HQ here building a DIY van can
9:04
be extremely challenging especially if you don't know what parts to buy you can spend all your time combing the internet
9:10
trying to Google fuses the solar panels cables all of that stuff just to end up
9:16
with more questions after finding more parts what if if you had a list that you
9:22
could download instantly it would be a list of all the components that I have purchased off of Amazon over the last
9:28
three years a curated list of over 250 products that I have bought and
9:34
personally put into van builds and it has helped me throughout my career
9:39
professionally building fans this list is over 250 curated products
9:46
that I have bought on Amazon they're organized in electrical components
9:51
heating cooling solar connections and most importantly
9:57
tools the list of tools is amazing it's all the tools that I've needed to help
10:02
me build these Vans quicker and also easier
10:08
if you want to get this list click on the link in the description below it's going to send it right to your inbox and
10:14
I know this list will help you out help jump start your van build so that you can build the van of your dreams
10:21
hey guys moving down here to another Booth we're at the Dometic booth and we're with Brent and this thing caught
10:28
my eye and I want Brent to tell me about it and some cool uses that he's uh used
10:34
it for yeah thank you this is the Dometic go water faucet very simple little 99 unit has a built-in lithium
10:42
battery you can charge it from the USB mini Port here off your vehicle or on a
10:47
battery or at your house combined with the water jug you've got instant running water for your campsite
10:54
it'll turn off in 60 seconds it's IPS 65 rated so you could actually leave it out
10:59
in the rain and stuff like that there's a couple of magnetic pucks it comes with so if you want to have a water jug
11:04
sitting at your campsite just like this put that on the corner of a table a couple little Taps wash your hands
11:11
fill up a pot brush your teeth anything else and that's pretty much it
11:20
yeah the jugs come with multiple different attachments so there's a spout on here so you can lead on its side and
11:26
use it as traditional spout and two of these paired together 22 liters of water and they're actually
11:33
the exact same footprint as a old style Jerry can but it makes it very very easy
11:38
to carry two of these side by side like this compared to you know a really really heavyweight container they've got
11:44
an extra large opening that allows you to actually get your hand in there one of the biggest complaint with water
11:50
containers not be able to dry it out and clean it so this extra large opening makes that really really simple to do
11:57
yeah talk to you about these uh other cases we've got um this is the pneumatic hard
12:04
case it's got aluminum front on it we've got it paired inside of here with two pack
12:10
10 portable gear storage and a pack 20 in here these are great for organizing anything you would like to dab in here
12:17
clothing cookware tableware it's got a water resistant zipper on it and all
12:23
seam sealed are all seen see sealed seams all of these you can add an
12:30
additional cooler insert and actually turn these into a small lunch cooler if you want to keep some items in here or
12:36
you can use the 50 liter box by itself going next we got our
12:42
cool ice fridges these are really simple little ice boxes gotta cut three
12:48
different sizes that we stock this is the smaller one the 13 the larger one the 33. what I like about these is the
12:55
square shape a lot of the coolers made today have these big rounded edges and big monster handles these are very slim
13:03
and you actually end up getting maximum volume use with the rectangular shape or
13:08
square shape like this is so even though it's a fairly small cooler you get 33 liters of interior space in here nice
13:15
foam gasket still is going to hold ice for multiple days in there
13:21
but that shape to me just makes it easier to load in the back of a truck or a van or a trailer
13:26
lastly we've got our cfx coolers thematic is known for refrigeration the
13:32
guys who started Dometic actually invented refrigeration over 100 years ago this is our smallest unit the 25
13:38
they go all the way up to 100 liters they're all going to have a Waco
13:44
compressor inside of it's a variable speed compressor one of the great things
13:49
about Dometic is we build every component in here ourselves so this is made specifically
13:57
everything is engineered to work with itself paired along with the Bluetooth app you can actually look at the amp
14:04
output of this or the amp usage every single hour by day by week and make sure that you're not bringing your batteries
14:12
down too low or anything like that the newest one is the 55 here it's the 55 Im
14:17
so we've actually got a small little section here or make ice in about an hour and a half
14:23
so it's an ultra cold little box on here so if you want to have that evening cocktail you can have something on the
14:29
rocks awesome Brad thank you so much for the tour thank you very much have a great day you
14:35
too all right guys we're back in the van it is a rainy day outside we got some
14:41
nachos here looking pretty good but I'll give you a peek
14:46
what we got outside
14:51
a bunch of rain
14:57
I think it's going to uh slow down here in just a little bit so I'll try to go out back out and get some more
15:02
interviews so I was able to do uh Backwoods Adventure mods and then we went over to Dometic that was a really
15:09
good one I like those products the next thing we're going to do is I want to go back over to uh there was a
15:15
drawer like a drawer systems booth and I'm going to interview him about the drawer systems it's a good a lot of
15:20
photos of that so I really enjoy that looking forward to that one and then we'll probably swing around and
15:27
do a couple more it might be it for the day because it's going to be one o'clock here in a little bit
15:33
and uh depending on the rain we'll see but uh so far a lot of cool products
15:39
all right guys I'm over here with Chad he is from drawersystems.com and
15:45
I wanted to uh I walked by this van and this caught my attention it's a extremely good attention to detail and
15:52
uh it's a just a really cool product so I wanted to Showcase that to you but Chad take it away tell me about your
15:59
product what's up guys so Chad he already mentioned drawer systems. joursystems.com I started out building
16:05
drawer systems for Overland SUVs and it kind of gradually morphed into uh van
16:11
building started with the E350 and then promast a couple promasters and then
16:17
behind me is a 2022 Sprinter 4x4 uh that
16:23
I just finished one week ago from today from this show and the design was kind
16:28
of an open format plan around where the electronics are exposed we're gonna have
16:33
to close the door because of the rain but yeah yeah Electronics explodes water exposed and everything's coated in
16:39
Raptor liner so two part Raptor liner and we wanted utilitarian like just
16:44
being able to you know take your five foot drawer slide out locking slides get
16:51
your stuff slide it back in and then easy easy access easy access to electrical easy access to the water so
16:58
let's close this up real quick yeah remember we got a bunch of photos of this uh free reign yeah you guys can
17:05
see we're we're done with the rain so uh bear with us so yeah so we're under the awning here
17:11
and the concept for this build again Overland style you have the snowmaster
17:16
fridge exposed uh it's a beautiful fridge so we didn't want to hide it and
17:21
then here draw assist the the whole system was built around the fridge the sink and a queen a full queen size
17:30
mattress uh so that they you know super comfortable for sleeping six inch
17:35
mattress uh we have the standard swivel seat Lagoon table and then
17:41
for water heating we have a four gallon electric Bosch hot water heater uh
17:47
electrical 400 amp hour lithium battery 400 watts of solar redarc red Vision
17:53
system uh plenty plenty of power for their for the for their needs and it works great water heater heats up in
18:00
about 15 minutes uh take nice hot showers at Camp uh 40 gallons of onboard
18:05
water 20 gallons of of gray water holding underneath and then
18:11
yeah plenty of storage it's all built built around storage um as far as the cabinets and everything go uh besides
18:18
being one off do you are you doing uh modules I'm not yet a good point um I
18:24
will be at some point uh right now everything is custom built uh eventually
18:29
I'll be building like this module the kitchen module if this is something you
18:34
like this will be able to be built um not to spec but just say okay this is you know
18:40
your fridge will just drop right in inside of it so that's the idea moving forward 100 is there a trick to get in
18:46
the Raptor liner so even uh lots of practice uh lots of practice you have to
18:52
play around with the the pressure in your air compressor and then what I find also is backing so the first two coats
19:00
really don't matter but the third coat is where you get the evenness so that third coat is key and back on the third
19:06
coat you got to keep your hand as steady as possible and back away farther than you are in the first two coats so that
19:13
gets your gets rid of the blotchiness because a lot if you've shot with raptor before at home you know that you if you
19:20
stay too close on one spot you'll get a blotch you know it gets really shiny over you know you get way too much paint
19:27
on it so lots of practice Yeah
19:32
thank you uh and what else oh um for the roof we have uh um what do you have a
19:39
backwards Adventure mods uh roof rack up here again 400 watts of solar and I built a walkable deck around the the max
19:47
air vent so you can walk up there and eventually what we'll be doing is is adding some roam boxes up there for
19:53
additional storage nice nice now we have something behind me here my pride and
19:59
joy hold on let me let me get rid of these chairs here nice
20:05
nice and is it Chevy Astro this is a Chevy half straw van so it was a 2003
20:12
Chevy Astro um I found it on offer up it was already cut in half it already had a trailer
20:18
tongue but this was completely open it was it was I'll send you a picture so you can put it in your video yeah this
20:24
was completely open there was plywood here uh it just I'm driving down the
20:30
highway and the wind I didn't know if it was going to make it home to be honest I had to totally reinforce the bottom uh
20:35
the trailer tongue uh tell it's attached with 12 grade eight screws not screws 12
20:41
grade 8 bolts attached directly to the frame I upgraded the leaf springs upgraded the suspension I I have a I tow
20:49
it with a 2008 Land Rover lr3 so I put matching wheels and tires so I have Land
20:55
Rover wheels on there uh and then again Raptor liner so I repainted the entire
21:00
thing with white raptor liner up top black Raptor liner on the bottom added a front runner roof rack on the
21:08
top we have the Smittybilt XL four-person tent and then added l-track
21:14
here we hang our towels and things at Camp eventually my water system uh I
21:20
have a whole idea for a sync system will go here deployed at Camp obviously uh Power in
21:27
water in a Pelican case for storage and then in the back uh simple drawer system cutting
21:35
board table simple drawer system with a cutting board or a prep table 12 volt fridge
21:42
um temporary electrical system right now but it really it works great for for you
21:47
know five five day trips I have 200 amp hour of battery underneath that feeds
21:53
this and I also have a 200 watt solar panel that that I can deploy if necessary nice
22:00
um it's not done yet but it's it's pretty close I plan on putting a cook partner
22:05
stove here that flips down so you'll have a stove here in the door and then in this door will be uh like a bar for
22:14
bottles and glassware you know for the adult beverages at night and then swinging around this oh actually up Top
22:21
This is actually pretty so again I said it wasn't done but thinking about needs
22:26
uh is I love doing that before before I finish a build so I have four ports up
22:32
here and they're the SAE type style Port so I'm going to have one dedicated for
22:37
solar for a solar panel one dedicated for an exterior light on the driver one for exterior light on
22:46
passenger and then one will feed power into the rooftop tent nice so when at
22:51
night you have you can charge your devices run fans whatever off your house system and then on this side
22:58
um have a standard awning right now I'm going to be switching that out for a 270
23:03
Awning in the future so I have protection in the back and then I have the ARB awning room that goes here so
23:10
you get additional space and then um custom-made shoe rack uh that acts as
23:18
a shoe rack towel holder and toiletry bin we have three kids and believe it or
23:25
not five people travel out of this thing and we've camped for two weeks and had no
23:32
problems we have plenty of storage this turns into a full-size bed this is a six foot RV jackknife sofa that turns into a
23:41
bed in like two seconds so usually my wife and the little one
23:47
will sleep here and then I'll sleep up top with the two big ones and then whenever we get to campgrounds that
23:53
actually have power if you look in here we have AC we have the window AC unit
24:00
but I didn't want it to look like a window AC unit so I designed and built I bought
24:07
this this toolbox and built a flange so that the AC is hidden inside the toolbox
24:15
and then so we get to camp we can just leave this open for AC
24:20
it's great um show me this camp stove over here yeah okay so this is uh
24:27
this idea actually came out because we had a 20-foot travel trailer that did not have an outdoor kitchen and we like
24:34
to cook outside when we're camping so my buddy one of my best friends is an eagle scout or was an eagle scout in the Boy
24:41
Scouts and they used to have truck boxes so this the idea behind this is this is my modern day version of a truck box so
24:48
inside you have all of your your stuff for cooking
24:55
utensil drawer everything's here this is a griddle a 22 inch griddle that
25:03
you know everything folds down we have these flip down stainless steel shelf
25:09
brackets aluminum handles and this is quarter quarter inch Marine grades it's
25:15
called starboard for boats but it's a it's like a HDPE plastic
25:20
and it makes great side tables yeah yeah so it's like cutting board material and
25:28
again painted with raptor liner and even with the rain it barely gets any water in there
25:33
um not worried about it and then everything here is uh I just use tongue oil to coat
25:39
all that so and then we have a Amazon special water system we've got the same one in
25:47
my van it's very simple so easy it's super cheap you can have the whole thing for like you know with the water water
25:55
pump water tank the hose and this you're looking at like 40 bucks and you can have running water
26:01
um at camp so yeah that's awesome Yep it's a so
26:06
this build is you know this is what you can do for something with a lower end budget you know get creative get out
26:12
there and go camping and then something like the Sprinter for by that's the
26:18
that's the max that's the ultimate so thank you you know there's so many different ways to do it but you know we
26:24
do the same thing we we come we hang out we sit outside we cook we have cook-offs yeah we have the fires going this is
26:31
awesome yeah awesome Well Chad thank you so much for the tour yeah thank you very much hey guys we're at the faster flight
26:39
booth and uh I got loose over here and he's gonna walk me through uh their uh
26:45
inflation deflation air system so this would be like for your adventure rig uh
26:50
my case where you're trying to inflate and deflate four tires at the same time kind of save some time uh but I came
26:57
over here because he's got a couple features with his system that I haven't seen before and I'm gonna have him uh
27:02
yeah walk us through it so how's it going Louis it's going good a little wet out here today A little windy yesterday but we're hanging in there um so yeah
27:09
this is the four tire air system I got it displayed on the back of the Tacoma here um we do all four tires at the same time
27:15
we do have two Tire kits over there which you can show if you'd like but uh what we're talking about here is the
27:21
four tire system uh pretty simple you plug it into each tire around and then you use the center manifold to deflate
27:29
um but yes it'll deflate it'll inflate it'll equalize all four tires at the same time just from the weight of the
27:34
vehicle sitting on all fours and pressuring all that air through this system gotcha and uh show me some of the
27:40
unique features that you guys have on your system so this this system uses Hall Tech air trucks this is similar throughout the throughout the uh
27:47
I guess the market right we uh we like to heat shrink our ends to keep us as dual wall uh heat shrink so that'll keep
27:54
uh keep it from bending and it protects the ends from from any type of any type
27:59
of stuff will get in it you know like you can see it's all dirty and stuff from being on the rain on the ground and rain and everything
28:06
um but yeah it'll keep it clean keep it from restrict keeping from bending and possibly crimping a hose to where it
28:12
causes it to pop but yeah no is there anything different with the way you guys have this design so yeah we kind of shim
28:19
up the the gauge away from the manifold just to give you a little bit more uh distance between you know so you're not
28:25
stuffing your hand in there when you're when you're disconnecting but yeah it's a little bit different than than the
28:31
rest we'll do uh we have a variant where we'll put a velcro strap on it so you
28:37
can velcro strap it to the bull bar we have that yeah I've seen similar with other uh
28:43
systems it's not in the mud yeah they'll they'll do like a wire or something and
28:49
wire around but we do the velcro that kind of goes right over the over that um pipe thread so
28:55
that's nice yeah um do these come separate from the boxes
29:02
or is the boxes a so the Box the boxes are just displayed oh this guy
29:07
boxes just keep everything uh dry and wet we've been closing them and open them and keeping everything together we we sell it with a with a host bag so
29:15
there's a circle holes back here yeah I think I got those back up there but it got soaked because of the rain here
29:23
oh I see the bag I gotcha other than that we we do uh onboard systems we'll
29:28
we'll custom build custom quote systems for customers that want something a little bit beyond this
29:34
um we've done stuff for Earth Cruiser we've done stuff for um Arc off-road he's another YouTube
29:40
channel we did uh what I call a taco rail kit which I built a custom bracket to mount to the the bed rails here and
29:47
it flips around so that you can get it from the Gold Wing doors and operate it that way but yeah I'm a tinkerer so you know I saw this
29:55
and um about three years ago I started building these for friends and it just kind of spiral a lot of control you know thank
30:01
you Lewis thank you so much for the tour thank you all right guys we're over here with hope and she is with alt route
30:09
Mills so uh I love to go hiking you guys probably seen a couple of my videos but
30:14
I wasn't expecting to see uh dehydrate Mills here and these not only smell
30:20
delicious but we're going to learn about the story and uh how this came about so
30:25
help take it away yeah so nice to meet you guys uh thanks for checking this out so we produce a line of entirely
30:32
plant-based dehydrated meals um we use very very simple ingredients we have two different breakfast options
30:38
and five dinner options I always tell people at alt route we really pride ourselves on what's not in the meals
30:44
when you turn over the package you can read and pronounce every single ingredient we don't use chemicals preservatives emulsifiers being that
30:50
they're plant-based we also stay away from imitation meats and stuff like that so veggies grains spices that's it we do
30:58
three different serving sizes our little sampler packs here those are you get one of all seven of the meals that we
31:03
produce and they rehydrate to about one cup of food each so it's meant to be a taster it's meant to just let you try
31:09
them all and see which ones are your favorite you're gonna like some more than others of course and then once you figure out which ones you like in those
31:15
sizes we offer the other one ones we do single serving and double serving meals
31:20
the single servings are going to rehydrate to about two cups of food they're between four and 650 calories
31:26
depending on the meal same size package for the double serving so if space is an
31:32
issue or a valuable commodity it's just a more full package essentially and and
31:37
for us we're kind of new to the off-road and Overland Community like you do a lot of hiking this for me was born out of a
31:43
lot of long distance backpacking I did some some long Trails I had three hikes to the ATM 2016. went southbound made it
31:50
but food was an afterthought I had spent a ton of time thinking about the gear and the this and the that and once so
31:56
far is to like plan all of my mail drops out right and I knew how many breakfast lunch and dinners but I put trash food
32:02
in there so by the time I got down to Springer Mountain I was starving like I had lost so much weight my body was
32:07
absolutely trashed and I was like who would ever do this again this is psychotic I'd never want to spend five months in the woods again it was a great
32:14
experience but never and then of course fast forward three years later I'm like so that thing was actually really cool
32:20
I'm gonna do it again but I want to eat better so there wasn't anything on the market that I found that was good enough
32:26
so I decided to make all of my own food I wanted to know I decided being like
32:31
vegan and not a lot of the ingredients we don't want right the the way that you
32:37
put these together is there specific way it's like you know I need like calorie dense or that's right yes so a lot of
32:45
the meals are calorie dense we've we've been very proactive in trying to get those protein ads in there as well so
32:50
the beans and rice a complete protein as is our Thai curry has the chickpeas the black beans and rice being in rice combo
32:57
there and we've been very intentional about the ingredients there's a lot of onions and garlic so like natural
33:03
anti-inflammatory type things and just like good flavor and spice and like something you want to eat at the end of
33:08
the day versus something you're just tolerating right so a lot of people that have eaten our products and enjoy our
33:15
products they're not vegan or vegetarian and very still people they're amazing as is and can be whole meals but if you're
33:20
in a place where you have fresh ingredients available or you can pack out some things you know turn the beans and rice into a burrito add some fresh
33:26
onion tomato avocado and there you go like my friends have used the chili for chili cheese dogs at cookouts and then
33:34
you bring like sausage with you and chop it up and put it into that's right yeah yeah it's a it's a blank slate kind of
33:39
kind of create your own adventure with it our tagline is fuel your detour so uh
33:45
yeah we're here for all of it yeah I love it yeah um what are some of your
33:50
favorites before you yeah some of our favorites are our biggest sellers are definitely the biscuits and gravy our
33:57
quinoa Mountain chili and the Thai curry those are definitely our three most popular meals and then kind of
34:03
seasonally depending on when you're eating them the veggie fried rice and the um couscous you can see on this side
34:09
those are very light so in the summertime when it's really hot out it's like a meal that's not going to make you feel real heavy and stuff sure so those
34:16
are great um and uh I like the size of these I think yeah for some reason I don't know
34:23
why the industry does this but it's always like a two serving I don't know if that's more for like volumes right
34:28
yeah you this is one serving is what you need that's right you want more food
34:34
exactly and yeah yep that's exactly it is these are very thin
34:39
[Music] that's right yeah you can fold them up
34:45
and like I mean our little samples like some people just pack these because they want like a light breakfast or lunch and
34:50
just to throw these in your food bag like you almost don't even notice they're there and another you can just buy a sample cracks that's right we sell
34:56
that as a whole so you can explore it all um but another cool thing to point out is sometimes when we're on adventures
35:02
water is a very valuable commodity right and we don't necessarily have a lot of it our double serving meals every single
35:07
one of them only take one and a half cups of water and you're gonna get three plus cups of food out of that so you're not gonna have to carry a ton of water
35:14
just to cook your dinner right you're actually going to be able to have like a third of a liter if that and that's all
35:20
it takes for your dinner and yeah um one question is uh
35:27
the wrong term here but uh like cold cooking cold soaking cold soap that's right
35:33
um so a couple of our meals will cold soak um it's not the preferred way to eat them the biscuits and gravy the
35:40
garden couscous and the veggie fried rice do the best with it just because of of the nature of how it was all dried so
35:46
they will rehydrate fairly well a lot of the other ones won't um and you're not going to get the same
35:51
flavor profile if you don't have the hot water in there the the flavor definitely is much much better and a lot of things
35:57
are activated and stuff like that when the hot water hits it so um yeah so awesome hope thank you so
36:04
much for this tour yeah thank you thanks for stopping by all right see ya
36:12
hey guys we're over here at livemore Camper vans all right so we toured this one at the Florida van life Gathering
36:23
so if you want to check out some detailed specs on this one you can
36:29
but I'm just going to wrap around it one more time it's a Mercedes Sprinter this is the 170. a little bit of Lights here
36:38
[Music] but a couple details I usually don't cover when I'm talking about these Vans
36:44
is like the rim size so for example these wheels here they've got the black
36:51
rhino Alloy rims and these are 255 70 17 so 255 70 17.
37:01
I don't think they have the fender clearance kit on there
37:06
but this van is it's awesome [Music] they've got a little bit of a walkable
37:12
deck up top some ditch lights here but uh yeah so we're gonna go around
37:19
here [Music]
37:27
and they're doing a tour then we got we've got a ladder here
37:34
and we'll just check out the deck really quick really quickly
37:40
[Music] and then we have an RTX 2000
37:45
AC unit and then we got some solar up top ballpark 200
37:52
Watts but we'll ask Marion if they know how much how much more that is
37:59
but uh yes as soon as she gets talking to him we're gonna start the tour
38:06
[Music] again but we're at the uh
38:13
Southeast Overland Expo there we go there we go we're gonna check out this van behind me
38:18
we did a little bit of a walk around but uh Marion tell us yeah awesome so this is a 2022 Mercedes
38:26
Sprinter rear wheel drive we just built it over the past three weeks and completed it just in time to bring it to
38:32
this Expo down here in Florida so we're super excited to be showcasing it for the first time our van seats and sleeps
38:39
three people it may only appear to be two but I'm going to show you some things of how we can bring our child along with us
38:45
so just step right up in here and this is wakari our tiny home on Wheels so we
38:52
like I said we have a three-year-old so we needed to make sure that we had space for him to play for him to be able to
38:59
keep doing his own thing to be able to him to see it safely so what we did is
39:04
we just moved our table right here and his car seat straps are down here and
39:10
these are bolted down to the exterior framing of the van so that his car seat can strap in there safely and whenever
39:18
we are sitting or at our campsite and he needs to sleep we have another piece so
39:23
we take away this table and the Lagoon Mount and we slide it in between here completing off the bed area and he has
39:30
his own pit bed that he can sleep in so he loves it he has his own TV right here
39:36
so he can watch cocoa melon or whatever it may be whenever he needs um and he has a sense of having his own
39:42
bedroom as well so that was super important for us in this film yeah awesome check out this kitchen I
39:48
mean this it just looks like a kitchen right at home in a nice house thank you we wanted to do something a bit
39:53
different the goal here on for our builds is for them to look like the insides of homes not so industrial
40:00
um off grid we want them to to look like an actual home and have all your home amenities with you wherever you go so
40:06
that was the goal here was my aesthetic this was my design I'm very proud of it we went with this like kind of gray and
40:11
white farmhouse backsplash we have a bamboo wooden countertop different from our typical butcher block and then as
40:19
you can see we accented all of our Cabinetry in this piece right here with Raton it's kind of like a basket
40:24
material and we overlaid it on a black platform on over here for the cabinets
40:30
so we have 50 pound watches for all of our Cabinetry so obviously even though
40:35
they look like real homes on the inside they do have Oscar capabilities so you can take them on rough terrain and
40:41
nothing will open and pour everywhere you know so yeah absolutely thank you then we got uh the victron big
40:48
control control screen this is a Garmin that's right absolutely so it's Garmin
40:53
but it controls all of our victron um appliances in the back of the can and
40:58
then so here you can see this is how we can turn off our lights turn them back on embedding kitchen and this is how we turn on and off our water as well our
41:06
water pump excuse me but we can just slide it here and then all of our victron connect stuff is right you can
41:12
load the app on the Garmin exactly and it's easy because you literally can just take it I don't want to snap it off the
41:17
door right now but you literally can just take it off of the wall it's loaded um and bring it with you wherever you need to go so that is something that's
41:23
super convenient and we can just plug it right into here if need be so there's
41:28
that absolutely very homey right I don't have to with all the decor we opted
41:34
since so this is going to be our personal van for all the Expos that we're going to be visiting um we don't live in it full time but I
41:40
still wanted to have as much as many things as possible to make it feel like a house so it was very important to me to have our microwave here if you're
41:47
wondering where we cook we always um encourage our clients to use portable induction cooktop that way you're
41:53
maximizing your space it's not always there taking up space on your countertop um and you can just use it when need be
41:59
so I keep it conveniently stored right here in the cabinet and boom right there so it's never in my
42:06
way if I don't need it to be right you know so yeah we have a 130 liter fridge
42:11
right here you can see kind of all of our snacks a little mini freezer area as well on this really could use something
42:18
in there right now
42:24
degrees I know sweating but it's okay um we'll be turning on our Dometic AC
42:30
here very soon but yeah so to keep going with the build one of um our this is one
42:36
of our favorite layouts honestly we've ever done I think we're gonna add this to the layouts that we offer our clients
42:41
but this right here is our bathroom area multi-use so you literally just flip
42:47
this up it latches to the top right here but if you can tell when it's not open this finishes our L couch so we just
42:55
open it up hook it in to keep it standing up and then here we have a shower curtain and
43:02
you can see with the holes for it you literally just clip it on to these clip hooks right here and it creates an
43:09
enclosure for your shower and whenever I need to use it I just move all my
43:16
toiletries and this toilet is super lightweight even with water in it so I
43:21
can just move it out and that's like the bag one from the other event exactly so this is called a Campo closet yeah
43:27
absolutely look into them great company we've been using them in a lot of our builds lately but I mean you tell me but
43:33
I think that's a pretty big shower um for being in a van it's pretty comfortable so I have my regular shower
43:40
liner and then this is my decorative one that I have on the outside just to make sure that I don't have any backsplash um
43:46
go onto my floor of my Cabinetry but for the shower we do a quick connect so you literally just push a button right here
43:52
on you always want to make sure it's stopped so I'm just double checking on spray myself right now and you literally
43:59
I'll just plug it into here push it and this controls your hot and cold water we just have to turn on our water heater
44:05
and it takes about 20 minutes so not long at all super easy but we always just plan accordingly you know but um
44:12
whenever we're not using this you can simply take off our shower head right here oop we have we keep this mat here
44:19
and then just pack it up in here I take my toilet I put it back down in
44:25
me nice and then put this in here yeah I mean it's just also additional storage
44:31
exactly and then we have a whole another cushion in the front seat but this completes our bench area so there's a
44:37
whole wraparound seating area we can lay out watch TV last night my husband saw here and watched the UFC fights and I
44:44
went to bed at 9 30. it was like being in two separate rooms so that's really important when building in such a small
44:50
clay excuse me in such a small space is to make sure you're keeping things open
44:55
um you want to be able to move around each other you want to have your separate spaces because when you're in such a small space you need to make sure
45:00
you have time and space for yourself you know so absolutely all these flip up so they all have storage and then part of
45:07
me is let's go we just have our cushions on them you can see all the extra storage in there
45:13
so that is mainly the interior of the van you can see we have this nice Cedar on the um ceiling yeah I can smell it
45:19
right now right absolutely and that's why we love to use cedar and pine all these really natural Woods to keep that
45:25
natural Aroma in the Vans as well I like this division of space great absolutely so the reason we built this although
45:31
it's not backed the return Isn't backed by anything it creates oh popcorn sheer water won't backsplash
45:39
over here if someone's sitting on the other side and you're washing dishes we needed like a little closure to separate
45:44
the kitchen from the living area so that kind of Acts you know is like a little retaining wall and then I love this wall
45:49
because to me this just it completes off from the the driving area the front cab
45:55
and then this kind of is the start to the kitchen I've seen a lot of people and maybe in the future we want to do
46:00
one where the whole ball you know it separates from the front and then you'll have like your little screen siding door
46:05
so that might be an idea for the future you know but for some reason in other Vans I don't feel like you could but for
46:11
some reason the way you do yours right this is very open you think because it's okay this is very uh-huh
46:18
it's just open so it absolutely closes off I wouldn't have probably noticed no and just add one just mimic it on this
46:23
side go about over
46:30
crazy to think about that wow 70 bands in over five years absolutely it's kind
46:35
of crazy um they didn't all always look like this at one point in our life we dreamed of building a Mercedes like I said this is
46:42
our company van it's not my personal van but I greatly look forward to traveling around in it it's a huge blessing and we
46:47
just look around every day and we're like wow yeah look at this uh oh absolutely you have a little reading
46:53
lights so we sleep on a queen size bed with six inches of memory foam as well we added flare so a whole extra 10
47:00
inches of width on the van so we're sleeping six foot ten super comfortable you can say we have the RTX on Dometic
47:07
AC up top and then we have our Max Air bit fan over here we will see it's got our van essential
47:15
bug nut as well um would you like to check out the garage perfect
47:21
don't trip over the one Wheels
47:30
so this is our garage so since we're going to be using it to travel so much we wanted to make sure that we have as
47:36
much space as possible to Lug around all of our toys our Expo gear whatnot tables
47:42
and things like that as you can see here on our right hand side this is where our whole water system is
47:48
our typical water tank is 25 gallons of fresh water um so you can see everything we have
47:54
here and then this is our water heater as well and we keep all of our one of your conveniently placed right here all
48:01
of our vans as well have an outdoor shower using the Quick Connect like we have on the inside too
48:09
stop so you just I know I don't want to be as sprayed but it's a quick connects you really just unbutton it and or
48:15
excuse me unplug it but it's just a button right here you push and you push and then whenever you need water do you
48:21
want me to press it on no no no you're good I'm just showing um the connections yeah absolutely I wonder how you're
48:27
doing one connection with the two temperatures yeah absolutely well so we are victron certified and so
48:34
we have an electrical engineer on site always help people diagnose their own problems but um we pretty much use all
48:40
the Tron accessories and then we use um some srk batteries as well the new uh 206 yeah absolutely very sought after in
48:50
the market I'm super affordable too for the clientele um and they're a little bit smaller which everyone and they're serviceable
48:56
exactly right I know we love things that you know we can get help with yeah
49:03
I'm guessing uh there's the so guys this is the Garmin power switch
49:09
up front I'm a big fan of that uh-huh absolutely it's so convenient especially just to be able to take it out with you
49:15
I can be sitting outside turn off my lights from sitting on the porch yeah adding the victron app no you can do
49:21
that absolutely it makes everything so convenient so we can control it wherever we go within a certain distance
49:27
oh that is the back of our van right here this is wakari
49:32
um and yeah so we have all of our window covers over here to make it black out as you can see the essential wrapped out
49:39
our back panels and whatnot but yeah thanks for coming and taking a tour let us know what you think awesome Marion
49:45
where can they find you we're located in Kennesaw Georgia it's a suburb of Atlanta so just like 20 minutes
49:50
Northwest of Atlanta but we have a huge shop production line fabrication area and a whole client allowance so come
49:55
check us out in Atlanta we have a 30 amp in the parking lot and we'll be waiting for you and is it livemore campervance.com livemorecampervans.com
50:02
you can find us on Instagram Tick Tock we'll be launching our YouTube in the next couple of weeks and we have Facebook as well yeah awesome thanks so
50:09
much thanks for coming to the Expo all right so yeah hey guys we're over here at the dimmer
50:15
box booth and we're with Dan he's going to walk us through uh this portable all right guys my mic was cutting out pretty
50:21
bad so this is their rugged speaker uh dimmer box and essentially it is a
50:27
Pelican case that has a speaker uh built into it what's cool is it has internal
50:34
dry storage so there's room to put kind of whatever you need in there it's got a USB Insider charger devices
50:42
um it gets 40 hours of battery life which is pretty cool and to actually make it fully waterproof
50:48
they have a little cork plug on the inside and uh that keeps water out so if
50:54
you cover the outside keeps everything inside safe it also allows the box to float
51:01
and there were two sizes so he's showing us the biggest size which is the db2
51:07
and there's also a smaller size that's the DB1 and it only has one speaker
51:14
and there's a difference in price between the two so the db2 which was the
51:20
bigger one that actually goes for 299 at the current moment and then the second
51:26
one that's a smaller one the DB1 that goes for 250 dollars
51:34
so there's all kinds of different colors that you guys can choose from you can kind of see them there on the bottom
51:39
and then if you look over on the top right they actually can customize them by hydro dipping them
51:46
you can customize them that way and then one thing he mentioned is they can actually do laser engraving so if
51:53
you want to do stuff for corporate gifting for example you can laser engrave
52:00
something on the front right there and yeah those are different ways that you can customize the dimmer box
52:09
Dan thank you so much appreciate it thank you hey guys we're over here at Asheville
52:14
Vehicle Outfitters we got Meg with us and she's going to walk us through this uh Gladiator so this is the Jeep
52:21
Gladiator if any of you guys are interested in over Landing I know this is not van related but
52:28
this is a really other cool opportunity for you to get into if you're not into van life but you still want to have kind
52:35
of all the gear and amenities in a cool package so yeah what tell me uh Meg tell

53:41
um you know put a little porta potty down there if you'd like we've got a fridge here so that we can keep all of
53:46
our you know our food cold and everything over here this is one of our favorite
53:51
um accessories this is my favorite this is a heater because we live in North Carolina and that way we can go winter
53:57
camping so it's a fireplace heater so that way we can camp and it's like really cold
54:03
we've got a fan up top and uh yeah we've got like a power board over
54:10
there the GP tractor power board
54:18
here we can control all of our our lights our fans all that stuff here it's
54:24
hooked up to a solar panel on the top of the truck and we've got a second battery down here as well that we can run that
54:33
off of awesome yeah yeah we use the red art in some of our builds
54:38
yeah we love it yeah yeah they're awesome systems we really like all of them a lot you throw it from your phone
54:44
yep and uh I can hop up there and show you how
54:50

55:01
so this is just a sleeping platform up here you want me to take you up there oh
55:06
yeah okay okay just don't hit the red button on top yeah
55:15
okay yeah and then you can put this this part down here too so you have more space
55:20
we'd like to leave it up so that we can use our fans blowing cold air up there or if it's um you know cold outside we
55:27
can use our heaters well in the hot air up there which is nice and then another of the favorite
55:33
also got the um value cap Shadow awning um it was a really easy awning to open
55:39

1:02:55
out once again so do a little bit of voice over induction stove excellent
1:03:00
storage uh really great thoughtfully designed storage and this whole entire truck
1:03:05
nice pull out countertop if you guys look at the ceiling really
1:03:11
really nice that slatted ceiling uh the very in style look at the cabinets they're actually
1:03:17
routed out so the laminate is routed out so if you haven't didn't catch that go
1:03:22
back and check that out that ladder to access the bed was really cool these Continental Tires that's a 20 inch rim
1:03:31
and I think that's a 325 80 R20 Tire humongous got the bead locks on the
1:03:39
outside of it so crazy terrain that you can actually take
1:03:44
this on we have external Shore power and then the storage just continues
1:03:51
outside the van we've got the uh full extension drawer slides and it has a
1:03:57
locking one on the left right hand side in a minute we're going to go to the
1:04:04
other side of the truck where you can also access that access this drawer get
1:04:09
to it we've got a box on the back for additional storage we're going to come back and talk about
1:04:16
that tire in just a second but here's where you're going to access the other side of the pull out drawer
1:04:24
you can add some additional stuff in there that is an outdoor shower access we got your water tank fill and then
1:04:32
look at this the ground clears on this thing is it's pretty massive
1:04:39
coming over here to the left hand side we've got some more storage that you can use outdoor put some stuff in there
1:04:46
uh just massive suspension components Fox shocks
1:04:53
and it's again it's an it's a Ford F-550 big old truck Bodyguard from bumper with
1:04:59
a integrated winch and as we come back over here to the
1:05:04
backhand side uh we're going to talk about that tire so the tire weighs so much
1:05:10
um I forgot how many hundred pounds it was but there's a winch that's actually gonna you're gonna attach to the Tire in
1:05:18
order to lift the tire out of that sling that's holding it that tire carrier and then lower it down
1:05:24
to the ground so really really uh substantial tire that you have to have a
1:05:31
winch to lower your spare tire down and then there's a ladder to access the
1:05:36
top but we're gonna get some information as far as the website where you can take a
1:05:42
look at this truck awesome grid trucks.us
1:05:51
yeah put that information in the video all right next we're gonna head on over to campers and RV I didn't go in grab
1:06:01
anyone to take a tour of these Ember trailers so I just said hey let's go ahead and
1:06:07
hop on over here and check out one of these trailers uh smaller trailers like this are starting
1:06:13
to become extremely popular um not necessarily over Landing in my
1:06:19
opinion but a lot of these overloading events I see these trailers here now there are much
1:06:25
smaller Traders trailers in this at over Landing events that's more typical but these are uh
1:06:32
kind of a trailer that's in the middle between the longer fifth wheel style and
1:06:37
the micro trailers so the finishes are really really nice in here I mean look
1:06:43
you gotta come a full size fridge it does have solar up top you're gonna
1:06:51
have you know your microwave your cooktop and your sink area it has a vent
1:06:57
fan you got a sink a nice cover on the sink that does help
1:07:04
with countertop space because you know you're in a small area prep space if you want to call it
1:07:10
uh they do have um pretty good storage in here but you
1:07:16
got the two bunks in the back I'm assuming the couch pulls out and then you got the bed on the right hand side
1:07:21
uh air conditioning and skylight
1:07:27
and again just nice and clean this is something you guys are interested in this is the sticker price for this unit
1:07:37
we're going to take a walk around the side and one thing about these trailers is they're semi-off road so they actually
1:07:43
have some type of suspension system built into the axle so you guys can see
1:07:49
we've got uh I think that's Curt axle with the springs
1:07:54
so a little bit of uh suspension
1:08:00
Some More Trailers Expedition trailers right here
1:08:06
again very popular [Music] a lot of the Broncos
1:08:16
Patriot liner [Music]
1:08:24
a little bit of uh entry level trailers here [Music]
1:08:34
yeah and this is pretty much where we started when we came from the van earlier
1:08:39
[Music] so we got a best beefy jerky [Music]
1:08:56
all right that was the last interview for this trip so Southeast Overland Expo
1:09:03
[Music] Southeast Adventure vehicle Expo the name confuses me but I think they're
1:09:11
staying with Southeast Adventure [Music]
1:09:16
Southeast Adventure vehicle Expo
1:09:24
[Music] anyway guys we are done we are getting back in the van
1:09:30
calling this uh in this trip but um yeah this Expo was
1:09:35
really nice they had over 500 people camping uh 85 vendors
1:09:42
so if you guys are looking forward to coming to this event just know that there's a lot of people here but there's
1:09:48
a ton of space there's so much room there's another there's enough room for another 500 more people here
1:09:55
um I think that means that uh the event is over it is
1:10:02
the clock on the DOT [Music]
1:10:14
all right guys until next time we will see you guys in the next video
1:10:22

1:10:28

1:10:40
