all right guys we're inside my 2019 ford
0:05
transit 150 van
0:07
and this is 148 inch wheelbase so it's
0:10
the non-extended but is the longer one
0:12
than the smaller version that they make
0:16
like i said it's obviously a little roof
0:18
and i'm going to take you through here
0:19
and do a quick tour through all the
0:21
components that i have in here
0:23
a couple things i like about them
0:26
i use this van to go hiking and camping
0:29
campgrounds
0:31
going to trail heads and it is
0:34
so fun everything in here is has a
0:36
purpose and makes it just really
0:38
enjoyable to be outdoors
0:41
bring all your food
0:43
have water be able to wash your hands
0:44
make coffee it's really great
0:47
so we're going to go right to left here
0:49
the first thing we're going to look at
0:50
is this fridge
0:54
so this fridge is not a 12-volt fridge
0:56
it's a
0:57
volt fridge or 110 volt
0:59
and it runs off of my inverter i have a
1:02
2000 watt
1:03
pure sine wave inverter we'll show you
1:05
here in just a minute
1:07
but i went with this because uh you know
1:10
you can go two ways this one is really
1:12
inexpensive it was like 80 bucks i got
1:14
it at best buy
1:15
um it does use a little bit more power
1:17
than normal
1:18
off the inverter but as long as you have
1:21
solar and a good way to recharge your
1:22
batteries
1:24
it's real cost effective solution and so
1:26
inside here what i've done is i just
1:28
added a quick latch so the door wouldn't
1:30
fly open when i'm driving
1:32
and you guys can kind of see this is a
1:33
little bit of
1:34
the size that we have in here
1:36
one quick note always make sure
1:39
you have a temperature gauge
1:42
inside your fridge
1:44
especially when you're doing the whole
1:45
van life because
1:48
the setting on your fridge is typically
1:49
not in degrees it's just going to be
1:51
like high low or one through seven or
1:53
something like that so you need to make
1:54
sure your food is
1:56
being refrigerated properly
1:59
so i got that in there i can kind of
2:01
lock it up
2:02
and then we go to the right hand side we
2:05
have a six foot countertop
2:09
i got this countertop from home depot
2:12
actually no i'm sorry this one is from
2:13
lowe's
2:14
and it's kind of like a faux marble
2:17
just a laminate countertop and i didn't
2:18
even cut it this is actually the full
2:20
length six feet non-cut
2:24
works out great
2:25
looks nice
2:26
comes with a nice backsplash here
2:30
and then above it what i did is i
2:31
installed
2:33
you can kind of call it the pantry
2:34
so we got slam latches here
2:37
and i just made this so this is the
2:39
store coffee
2:41
um
2:42
coffee filters
2:43
food
2:45
any type of dry food or anything like
2:46
that can go up here
2:48
just got to be careful when you put
2:49
stuff up here it gets really really hot
2:52
so
2:53
if you're in the whole mode of going
2:55
camping
2:56
don't have to worry about it just don't
2:57
leave stuff in there but anyway
3:00
this is integrated into here
3:02
it works out really well we have the
3:05
cedar
3:07
backsplash here so this is cedar tongue
3:10
and groove
3:11
and we just got a little bit of i think
3:13
danish oil is what i put on it
3:16
coming from our inverter we have our
3:19
uh
3:20
house outlet here with two usb ports
3:23
something that's pretty cool and i
3:25
designed this whole thing around this is
3:27
i have a espresso machine that i bring
3:29
with me when i go hiking
3:31
and this thing is
3:33
custom designed to have that
3:36
espresso machine in there
3:38
and so i'll insert some b-roll in there
3:40
so you guys can kind of see the whole
3:42
the look but i wanted to show you how
3:43
nice and open this is a lot of room for
3:46
prep
3:47
space to prep food
3:50
this seat works out really well
3:52
and this is i'd say a classic
3:55
you know
3:56
van life camper van layout
3:59
over here on the left hand side
4:01
we have a sink from ikea so stainless
4:03
steel sink
4:04
and then i found this on amazon it's
4:06
really cool it's a battery powered
4:10
faucet
4:11
and what's nice about that is when you
4:13
have a camper van
4:16
with the exception of this fridge in my
4:17
setup you want to make sure everything
4:20
is either 12 volt or very power
4:22
efficient so this actually is a battery
4:24
powered rechargeable
4:27
faucet
4:30
and
4:31
it'll technically last almost a whole
4:33
month on one charge so it's really
4:35
efficient
4:37
and then below here
4:39
is where i have my fresh water and gray
4:42
water tank
4:43
fresh and gray
4:45
and each one is seven gallons
4:49
and then on this right hand side i put a
4:51
closet rod inside here so i can also
4:53
keep my
4:54
like my puffy jacket and stuff like that
4:56
for hiking
4:58
this is still a build in progress even
5:00
though it looks pretty complete here
5:01
i'll show you in the back that it still
5:03
is a build in progress
5:05
but we have all of our connections here
5:07
for
5:08
uh to turn our inverter on
5:12
we have our
5:13
uh
5:14
battery monitor
5:16
and that's going to tell us you know
5:17
what the percentage is of our battery
5:18
which is fully charged right now
5:21
and then last but not least we have our
5:24
controller here for our diesel heater
5:27
and i'll show you that in just a second
5:29
my plan is that this whole entire
5:32
controls what's going to happen is i put
5:34
in this
5:36
uh soft-close
5:39
hinge and all the
5:42
display and
5:44
you know battery monitors and stuff like
5:45
that they're all going to be lined up
5:46
here nice and neat so that you can turn
5:49
on the inverter check everything out
5:53
and i like to have no light when i'm
5:54
sleeping so
5:56
once this closes
5:57
all the lights are concealed in here and
6:00
you have a nice rest you don't have to
6:02
worry about light
6:04
speaking of light we have our puck
6:06
lights which are all the way up here
6:09
and they are controlled by this dimmer
6:11
switch down here at the bottom
6:14
so we can turn them off we can turn them
6:15
on
6:16
and it's a stepless dimmer switch which
6:18
means if we push our finger on it
6:21
we can dim it all the way down
6:24
and turn it off and then turn it back on
6:28
before we move around to the seat in the
6:30
back of the van
6:33
it's a pretty interesting
6:35
uh look right here you may notice it's
6:36
not traditional cabinets we have one
6:38
traditional cabinet over here this was
6:40
actually purchased from lowe's as well
6:43
and then it's just painted to match the
6:44
toolbox
6:46
so this is a full husky toolbox from
6:48
home depot
6:49
and what's nice is you have humongous
6:51
drawers i've got this locked right now
6:54
but these drawers go the full depth
6:57
and basically keep all my kitchen stuff
7:00
up here pots and pans go on this left
7:03
side
7:04
camera gear and equipment is on the
7:06
right and then these drawers are like my
7:08
clothes that i bring with me when i go
7:10
hiking and again the jackets are in here
7:15
before we open this up to show you guys
7:16
a little bit of electronics i put in
7:19
a table
7:21
so this way if i want to edit a video or
7:25
just sit down have some food this is a
7:27
good place to eat it and this is
7:29
actually a
7:31
door from ikea so this is one of their
7:34
clearance areas you can just buy like
7:36
really cool stuff like this it's a
7:37
stainless steel cabinet door
7:40
and then i got some hinges here
7:42
and then i just repurposed it as um
7:46
a table to be used for uh
7:49
yeah for eating and stuff like that
7:51
so i think we're going to do is take the
7:53
camera off the tripod and then that way
7:55
we can get over here
7:56
and get a little better look at
7:58
the power system before we move to the
8:00
rear of the van
8:08
all right back in the van this is the
8:10
part where i was sitting filming that
8:12
part you just saw
8:14
and
8:15
believe it or not these two cushions
8:18
were not custom made i bought them at
8:19
lowe's they are outdoor
8:22
cushions for seating
8:25
and this top one you'll pull off here
8:28
and this is actually just a back rest
8:30
for a
8:32
uh
8:33
like just a backrest for a
8:35
you know
8:36
outdoor chair i actually think this is
8:38
this seat cushion and then what i did on
8:40
the back is you can have you can
8:42
find iron on velcro
8:45
and then that
8:46
attaches it here to the carpet so it
8:47
doesn't move around and then there's
8:49
just one more spot at the top that ties
8:51
into the
8:52
three-way stretch fabric
8:58
same thing goes for the bottom
9:00
this is just a long bench seat and it
9:02
just happens to be when you fold it here
9:05
it is just
9:07
it's perfect and
9:10
yeah sometimes you just find stuff like
9:11
that because i did not design this bench
9:13
around this pad
9:16
but we take this off
9:18
and you can see here this is the
9:20
beginning of
9:22
kind of the brains of the van
9:25
as we open this
9:26
lid up
9:29
you guys can look in here
9:31
and i might have to zoom in just a
9:33
little bit
9:42
there you go
9:44
so on this side we have our
9:47
2000 watt
9:49
pure sine wave inverter
9:52
we have our disk main disconnect for our
9:55
battery system that's over here
9:58
so if i tilt down maybe you guys can get
10:00
in there awesome
10:01
so this is an ames 100 amp hour
10:04
lithium iron phosphate battery
10:07
not a lot of amp hours but we've got 200
10:10
watts of solar on the roof i'll show you
10:12
here in just a little bit
10:13
but between this
10:16
and just doing weekend trips this allows
10:18
me to make all the coffee i need i'm not
10:20
running the sink
10:24
the fridge uh
10:25
pulls very little amperage so
10:28
this will give me two solid days with
10:32
pretty good sunlight
10:33
for a trip
10:35
so if we have really good sunlight and
10:37
i'm on the road driving
10:39
i can probably stretch it to
10:41
three days two nights
10:42
for making coffee and
10:44
keeping food cold and stuff like that
10:48
but yeah so that's the battery moving in
10:51
we got our disconnect right here
10:54
and then moving in a little bit deeper
10:56
we have our
10:58
uh
10:59
distribution block for our positive and
11:03
negative side
11:05
um and then so our positives go over
11:07
here
11:09
to
11:10
our bluesy systems
11:12
fuse box and all of these components are
11:15
blue sea systems
11:17
and then we have our main fuse it's a
11:20
mega fuse and that is for our
11:23
inverter
11:25
and somebody out there may be saying you
11:27
know nick why
11:29
are you pairing a 100 amp hour battery
11:30
with a 2000 watt inverter
11:33
it's a good question
11:34
uh
11:35
the main reason the easy answer is is
11:38
for my espresso machine it's simply that
11:43
somehow the discharge rate on this
11:45
battery
11:47
doesn't time out before the bms or the
11:49
battery management system shuts it off
11:52
and it runs my
11:55
special machine just fine the espresso
11:57
machine does pull 1700 watts
12:00
while it's doing its thing
12:02
uh and it may be due to the fact uh
12:05
that i have two hot wire going to the
12:08
uh inverter
12:11
so
12:12
this works i got everything fused
12:14
properly
12:16
if we move to the back
12:18
you see this little vent so we got one
12:19
vent here
12:21
and then down here we got another vent
12:22
and that just allows ventilation for
12:25
the inverter
12:27
behind here
12:29
they will show maybe some b-roll later
12:32
this is the diesel heater
12:34
so this is just one that was bought for
12:36
amazon it's the cheap version some
12:39
people call it
12:41
parking heater
12:44
or a chinese diesel heater because
12:47
extremely
12:48
cheap i mean 140 bucks on amazon
12:52
and
12:53
they work great i'm
12:56
i would never put in my professional
12:57
builds just for
12:59
you know durability longevity
13:02
but they're so cheap that
13:04
i mean this one's lasting a whole entire
13:05
year no problems whatsoever works every
13:08
single time
13:10
uh it's a two kilowatt version so it's a
13:12
little bit of the smaller one they have
13:13
a two and a four
13:16
um
13:17
it works great i mean no complaints at
13:19
all
13:21
so this is like i said the brains
13:25
as we go into the back
13:27
we're going to show you guys the air
13:29
intake for the diesel heater
13:32
and then
13:33
we'll also show you
13:35
uh
13:36
the exhaust port
13:47
so while we're at this angle i'm going
13:48
to show you
13:49
uh
13:50
this side of the panel this is the light
13:52
switch that you guys were looking at uh
13:54
it's um
13:56
touch you can just you know it's a touch
13:58
of dimmer switch you don't have to push
13:59
it or click it in
14:01
everybody needs a cup holder
14:04
that's a
14:05
perfect location
14:07
and then this one is the vent for the
14:09
heater so you can turn it any different
14:10
way you want to
14:13
so this is the exhaust from the diesel
14:15
heater
14:17
and then while we're down here on the
14:18
ground let me go ahead and shut this
14:24
let's talk a little bit about the floor
14:26
before we go back to the
14:28
rear of the van
14:35
so this floor that i have this is a it's
14:37
called smart core
14:39
floor it's a 100 waterproof
14:42
and it's got the integrated underlayment
14:45
in it um or moisture barrier whatever
14:47
you want to call it
14:50
uh
14:51
it works out really really well
14:54
something i did that was a little bit
14:55
different
14:58
for my other builds is if you look down
15:00
here let me get down here on the bottom
15:04
so
15:05
the step up into the van was just really
15:08
a
15:09
useless space
15:11
and what i've done is this is
15:14
this is where i keep
15:15
i keep some tie downs
15:19
it gives me access to my power cables
15:22
that are coming from the battery
15:24
that are going back and charging the
15:27
uh that connect to the battery and the
15:29
inverter
15:32
i've got my dog
15:34
novus stuff
15:36
i've got
15:37
this is a bag of jumper cables but
15:40
there's just a lot of storage here so if
15:41
you delete the step
15:43
and you don't have the vehicle lifted
15:45
this is a great place to
15:48
just store everything because it's
15:52
it's just a waste of space if it's not
15:54
being used for storage that's why a lot
15:55
of people like to just build the van out
15:57
to here and make this like a shoe cubby
15:59
you see that often in van builds
16:02
one thing i like the most about it and i
16:04
see a bunch of my friends do when we go
16:06
camping is everybody just likes to
16:08
sit here it's just
16:10
you know everybody can sit here
16:12
hang out
16:13
so it's a good place to sit it's right
16:15
on the edge
16:17
and then everything is you know nice
16:18
upholstery we have this
16:20
aluminum
16:21
step plate
16:22
that is uh
16:24
that's right here um
16:28
to finalize this uh
16:30
this there will be a carpeted panel
16:32
that's gonna go around this whole entire
16:33
thing then we're gonna have like little
16:34
oval inlets to go grab stuff
16:38
so that's how this will actually be
16:39
finished off
16:42
um yeah so now what we're gonna do is
16:44
head to the back of the van and show you
16:45
guys where
16:47
what our bed system is made out of as
16:50
well as the the garage area
16:53
all right we're at the back of the van
16:55
and i wanted to show you two things the
16:57
bed system the garage and then we're
16:59
gonna zoom in a little bit closer show
17:00
you the
17:02
insulation on the side panels of the van
17:06
the ceiling ceiling fan
17:08
roof vent and then the garage
17:11
and then the diesel heating system
17:14
okay let's start with the bed
17:16
so this
17:17
platform here is
17:19
large enough for a full-size mattress
17:22
full-size memory foam mattress is what
17:25
when i'm not loading equipment and stuff
17:26
like that in here a full-size memory
17:28
foam mattress goes in here and it fits
17:31
perfectly
17:34
i didn't use flare spaces because that
17:36
wasn't the point of this van because on
17:39
a ford transit you can sleep end to end
17:43
just naturally in this van if you're
17:46
around six feet or less
17:49
and so by adding the carpeting on the
17:51
side and not actually building in
17:54
insulation and stuff like that i'm able
17:56
to put that
17:57
mattress in here so everything was
17:59
pretty much sized off that
18:01
mattress layout
18:03
this is just like a little edge piece
18:06
this is actually a two by four
18:07
underneath here
18:08
that's to kind of just hold the bed in
18:10
and then also give us a little bit of
18:11
structural
18:13
rigidity to the bed
18:17
we'll get you some detailed footage of
18:19
this garage area but down here in the
18:21
garage area
18:22
if you guys can see actually you can see
18:24
it pretty good
18:26
we get a ton of space
18:29
and uh
18:30
i use the space to store everything that
18:32
i'm using um during a camping trip uh
18:36
so if you can imagine a bunch of
18:38
firewood goes in here my backpack
18:42
my dog's food
18:44
anything that i'm helping
18:46
like friends bring
18:48
so
18:49
a couple my friends ride motorcycles and
18:51
then we do like a moto camp so their
18:54
gear will be in here as well and then
18:56
we'll follow each other to the campsite
18:59
and
19:00
you got a ton of room so i'm just going
19:02
to get in here you guys can kind of see
19:05
i mean
19:07
there's a ton of room under here it's
19:08
almost the same size as you know
19:10
obviously what's above it like a full
19:12
bed
19:15
so the plan on here is to get this
19:19
trimmed out
19:20
we have our air intake at the back for
19:22
the diesel heater
19:24
and then over here on the right hand
19:26
side we have
19:28
the diesel tank
19:32
this is a 10 liter tank and it's
19:35
completely overkill
19:38
i filled this up maybe a quarter of the
19:40
way
19:41
and it's lasted me a full year
19:44
so all throughout the winter
19:47
so
19:48
diesel is extremely efficient
19:51
on the van builds that i'm currently
19:52
building that's all going to be a
19:53
gasoline-fired
19:55
heating system
19:57
so
19:58
but this one was just kind of
20:02
you know
20:03
the way that i designed this van
20:06
just kind of
20:07
as you go as you need
20:09
certain components you know put them in
20:11
and so it was winter time i was cold and
20:14
i put this diesel heater in
20:16
it's been working great
20:19
uh if we can talk about let's see
20:22
check the framing here this would be
20:23
good to do b-roll do you because you're
20:26
gonna need that when you talked
20:28
yeah
20:30
i'm gonna bring you guys
20:32
in oh yeah this is good
20:35
perfect especially showing the walls i
20:37
don't know if they're too dark
20:38
yeah
20:40
so let me bring the light around no
20:42
that's good
20:44
so we're gonna go ahead and zoom in here
20:46
on the walls
20:47
yeah perfect that's doing a really good
20:49
job
20:50
so as you can look at the walls here
20:52
what i did is there's some cavities in
20:54
here so it's like four cavities and then
20:56
what i did is i took uh
20:58
there's this duck wrap and it's like a
21:02
metallic aluminum
21:04
with uh
21:06
i'm trying to see actually
21:09
there we go
21:11
piece just kind of comes off the ceiling
21:13
so if you guys can see this
21:15
it's a it's got metal foil on the
21:17
outside and then it has this like rubber
21:20
membrane on the back side like it's
21:22
almost like foam it's a foam membrane
21:25
so it's foam and then it is metal like a
21:28
radiant
21:29
uh
21:30
i guess you can call it like a radiant
21:32
barrier
21:33
it's to make pipes
21:35
and attics not sweat
21:37
like ac pipes and stuff like that and
21:38
then there's an adhesive right here so
21:41
you guys can see it's kind of it'll
21:42
stick to my finger so this adhesive is
21:44
great because you can
21:48
the whole entire ceiling here
21:52
you can look
21:54
so the whole entire ceiling
21:56
has that
21:57
stuck on it
21:59
okay
22:00
and then underneath that what i have you
22:03
can see it uh
22:04
in this corner just sticking out a
22:06
little bit
22:07
um i have rock wool
22:10
and rock wool
22:12
uh let's take a little bit of this
22:14
it's actually
22:16
rocks that have been
22:19
rock fibers that have been uh
22:22
shaved like super thin and it's crazy
22:24
creates a
22:29
like an insulation
22:31
so it's really really cool you guys can
22:33
see that
22:38
it doesn't matter if it gets wet it
22:40
won't mold anything like that it is fire
22:43
resistant
22:45
and uh does a really good job insulating
22:47
the van it's a great thing to use
22:50
as opposed to like 3m
22:52
or
22:53
uh wool or something like that
22:57
the whole entire ceiling is tongue and
23:00
groove cedar so it smells great cedar is
23:02
a natural
23:04
uh
23:06
insecticide maybe it's a too strong of a
23:08
word
23:09
it repels insects insects don't like
23:11
cedar like the oils in it
23:15
and then if we go up here this is our
23:18
max fan
23:20
and this max fan is it's not the fully
23:23
automated one it's simple it's got four
23:24
speeds
23:26
on and off that's it it only exhausts
23:29
but it does have the integrated range
23:31
shield so that makes it really easy to
23:34
have it up when it's raining
23:37
and the way that i ventilate this van is
23:39
i just have one vent fan here and then i
23:41
have the front windows cracked with a
23:43
bug screen that i roll up into the
23:45
windows
23:46
and that gives me my ventilation cross
23:48
ventilation for the whole entire van
23:50
does an excellent job
23:54
uh this is a let's see here a little bit
23:57
better view of the
23:58
the bed you can see over here we got
24:00
some rails that keep all the carpet nice
24:02
and
24:03
tied down so this carpet is
24:06
super 77 3m spray adhesive is how
24:08
everything is connected
24:12
and then
24:14
we got the diesel heater
24:17
and then the last part that i'll show
24:19
you guys i'll take this off
24:20
the tripod
24:22
i'm going to show you where
24:25
this is where
24:27
the intake to the diesel heater is so
24:29
the fresh air so what you want to do is
24:31
you want to have
24:32
the colder air from the garage being
24:35
pulled into the diesel here and the deal
24:37
user exhaust the dry air
24:40
and then that way
24:42
you create a convection so you have the
24:44
air
24:45
coming out through here
24:47
comes down around here goes back
24:49
underneath this
24:50
and it circulates it creates a
24:52
convection in the van to help circulate
24:56
the heat
24:57
and get rid of any moisture
25:00
so that does a
25:01
does a great job
25:03
next we are going to
25:06
take a camera up here
25:09
you guys can see the max
25:12
ax fan right there and our solar panels
25:16
so we're gonna put this on another
25:17
tripod i'm gonna get up here and talk
25:19
about the roof
25:27
so that's what it looks like when it's
25:28
fully extended
25:32
and see what's nice is you don't have to
25:34
have a rain shield or anything like that
25:36
um
25:38
so we got that for our ventilation then
25:40
come over here
25:43
and just a simple electrical system i
25:45
mean it's just 200 watts
25:46
of solar panels from renegy
25:50
and
25:51
you know these keep the batteries all
25:53
topped off
25:55
last but not least we have our roof rack
25:58
so this is a custom roof rack i built
26:01
and all these parts are at lowe's so
26:02
this is called unistrut so if you're
26:04
wondering what the
26:05
stuff they use for like electrical boxes
26:07
and warehouses to mount them
26:09
this is the same thing what's nice is
26:11
you can put these hooks and sliders
26:14
this is for my little awning
26:16
tarp that i have
26:18
i can tie into it
26:20
and then if i want to add more solar
26:21
panels or i wanted to load something on
26:23
here this thing is extremely strong so
26:25
this thing is
26:28
completely bolted to the van
26:31
and
26:33
it's not going anywhere it's been like
26:34
this for a year it's doing great
26:37
um i put these little
26:40
bar pads or whatever you want to call
26:41
them surfboard
26:43
bumpers i did that because there's a
26:45
little bit of a whistle and then as soon
26:47
as i put those on it fix the whole
26:49
entire thing
26:51
uh
26:52
yeah and so we're gonna swing around to
26:53
the driver's seat and show you the last
26:55
part of this tour and that is the
26:57
electrical system coming from the
26:59
battery so that is the charge controller
27:01
from the solar panel for the solar
27:03
panels and also
27:05
the battery leads that charge
27:07
the battery so let's go down there and
27:08
check that out
27:11
okay so check this out
27:13
back here behind the
27:15
driver's seat
27:17
and
27:18
this looks pretty complicated but it's
27:20
actually really simple the reason it
27:21
looks complicated is because i used to
27:23
have a
27:24
dedicated dc to dc charger over here and
27:27
this was not part of the system so i've
27:30
removed this system
27:32
i just went with a simple pwm controller
27:37
and then i'm going to clean all this
27:38
stuff up
27:39
but basically
27:41
this is all the connections that needed
27:43
for the van so you've got your
27:46
breaker coming in from
27:48
your alternator that charges your
27:50
battery
27:51
and then we have a breaker that is going
27:54
to our
27:56
uh our main battery so one is our
28:00
power coming out from the
28:02
alternator and then one is our battery
28:05
disconnect
28:06
the line going to the battery we got six
28:09
gauge wire for that
28:11
then right here is our
28:13
negative terminal
28:16
we have our pwm controller like i was
28:18
talking about
28:20
and this thing is excellent it's super
28:22
cheap and it also has the ability to
28:24
obviously charge
28:26
lithium iron phosphate
28:28
but it has a mode in there to where if
28:30
the bms of the battery cuts itself off
28:33
what this charge controller will do is
28:35
it's able to send the appropriate amount
28:36
of voltage to wake up the battery
28:39
and get it going again
28:41
so that's pretty cool so even if you
28:43
kill the battery which i've done
28:45
two or three times
28:47
give it a couple days the solar and this
28:48
controller will automatically bring your
28:50
battery back to 100
28:53
life and uh there's a
28:55
just a little fuse for
28:59
the
29:00
the solar as well
29:01
and then these are the leads that go up
29:03
through the ceiling
29:05
to the solar panels on the top
29:07
all right guys let's end the tour for my
29:09
ford transit camper van
29:11
nova and i here are going to sign off
29:13
and
29:14
