    Can’t wait for the next ep. Very impressed with the effort and hope you keep us up to date once you are on the road. Most important question is what is the skiff you had in the first intro and are you going to tow it with you?… ‘cos that would be awesome to watch. Anyhoo, get out there, pick your path carefully (like the trip north of Cairns to the top of the Cape is ugly at the wrong time of year, the trip across the Savannah Way is ugly from Hellsgate, likewise for the Gibb River Road, huge fun but go after the wet and after they’ve been graded)… but it’s a BIG country and lots of memories to create… look forward to vids!

    Good work Emma. I am quite concerned about the long term strength of the way you mounted your water tanks. If you are to support the tanks underneath, you should use metal straps from side to side (aluminium is best), rather than a timber shelf. I can see the shelf flexing under the load of tightening. I also have concerns that the paint is not good enough to keep moisture out in the long run (even if the paint is thorough - 7:26 in your video shows some exposed timber on the edge of the board, unpainted). These tanks are designed to be mounted using the top mounting holes only. They are not designed - and do not require - to be mounted using under support. Given that your floor is in and therefore you probably don't have viable access to the top thread nuts, you could simply empty your tanks, and replace the timber shelf with two aluminium bars per tank.

    I’ve lived in my van for 3 years and first build I had a white stone sink and it was the worst for marks so I ripped it out to change to a black metal one. I also started with those rv lab latches and found overtime driving bumpy roads and the drawers shaking the screws came loose and broke, I’ve since changed to a more robust drawer lock. I’ve been told by the owner they’ve changed to design so can’t comment on the recent version. Vans are built to be enjoyed … and renovated :)!

    • @emmamaertens
      @emmamaertens Před 3 měsíci

      Thanks for your advice! These latches are the new ones so hopefully they work out :) I guess I’ll see how I go with the sink as only time will tell.

    Looks great! I have been living in vehicles for many years. I have lived in Coaster buses and they are great! Currently I am living in a Ford Transit, but we just bought a Coaster for our friends. We are in the process of decking out their bus, but first we need to get passed for the road worthy test. The floating bed is a great idea. We might use it. Well done again!

      Oh how exciting! Yes I am happy with the 12mm floor. It’s a bit flexy in some areas but barely noticeable and I am planning on putting in laminate floorboards which will make it more sturdy. If in doubt just make it the same thickness as you originally had 👍🏽
