 Nice camera DJI too. So what I'm going to talk about here is my Mercedes Sprinter van conversion This is Paul Carlson small workshop guy So I picked up this Mercedes Sprinter on August 1st 2021 and Then I got busy doing some caretaking for my wife who did pass away from cancer in September of 2021 I'm back at working on the van now. So here's some things that I have done On the exterior, I used a company called levity vans to put in a big window in the passenger side of the Oh, what do you call it the sliding door and that is a vented window meaning that the bottom half of it Can crank out and allow some ventilation. I also Used that same van company levity vans in Santa Cruz, California To install some flair space the flares are from flair space and What they do is allow you to add an extra couple of inches in the width of the upper back part of the van and Then with that done you can sleep what we call east west instead of north south and So I've got that on both sides and then those have vented windows available in those as well and then on the back of the van I Had the same company I Levity vans put in two big windows in the back so I could see cars and traffic behind me and things and Then we also installed the owl OWL ladder and Move the spare tire from underneath the van to a spare tire holder on there And let's go around to the other side and I'll show you the flares on this side so in addition Up on the exterior up on the top. I've got a large 385 watt Solar panel one single panel and a max air fan A vent and so that's the exterior and that's all I'm going to do Perhaps I'm going to put in some rhino Black covering similar to the black that's there already But put that on there and then over the wheel wells The reason I had a company called levity vans do all of that exterior work. It's because I'm in a homeowner's Situation and we're not allowed under our CC and ours To do work on any kind of automobiles in our own driveways So I didn't want to violate those rules. So I had all of those things done In addition what I've had done so far is to put in an Upgraded stereo system. This was a basic basic brand new 2021 van and so I Hired our local audio company to install my Apple play navigation system and upgraded speakers on both sides Including a big old woofer Back behind the driver's seat In addition We have installed Swivels on the passenger side so that that can be used to work on computers and stuff in the cabin of The van when it's finished and you can see that there's a heater Underneath the passenger seat that's called an s-bar heater and that connects to The diesel fuel take and runs off of diesel and a very small electrical load In addition what we have done on the inside is put sound deadening Panels in all of the cavities so that the panels wouldn't rattle and then we also Oh Excuse my coughing we also have put almost all of the Insulation In all of the cavities as well So now once the windows have been added I'm gonna come back and finish up all the insulation and here you can see the fan So the next step is to Do the pre-wiring so I'm gonna run wires everywhere In order to get ready to build an electrical cabinet down over that wheel well and then we'll be working on the wall panels and paneling those flare space and Then putting in all the lithium batteries and all of the electrical and Then we'll build a platform bed the kitchen pod and Other items such as the nature's head toilet Anyway, I'm going to stop because I'm coughing So that is where we are on the van Right now and this is January 2022 Gonna finish the rest of my van myself building my cabinets out of 80 20 aluminum extrusion and then facing that with You know different laminate covered plywood so it looks really really nice and on the ceiling. I'm probably gonna do tongue tongue and groove ship lack a type of boards to go across there It's gonna be fun I'm looking forward to hitting the road and going out and seeing some of them my friends. I've made in doing virtual workshop tours That's it for now Small workshop guy signing off
