You are the best!
Nice video. Please keep on posting and keep on dreaming.
I have been watching your videos nonstop. I wish I was employed by you. Your work ethic and foresight is something to be admired. I need a mentor like you.
Are you in New Jersey? I am looking for craftsmen.
@@HumbleRoad I wish I was, I'm in Texas.
*LOVE THE POWER BED!*
Me too!
Well done
Just found this channel and am so impressed with the thoughtfulness that went into each component. I will hopefully be embarking on my own build journey here shortly and will be watching this channel for tips, tricks and advise. Thank you so much for sharing your insights. THEN! as if it coouldn't get better, the sound over music is Tom Waites! Been a fan of his for decades!
Welcome to Humble Road!
What a craftsman !
Amazing work!
Well I'll have to agree with you on Coffee makers- Technivorm and fresh ground Italian roast!
4:20 спасибо Ютюб, что познакомил нас. Удачи Вам И Вашим клиентам. 11:44 просто фантастика. 19:14 так наверное правильный путь : сидеть фургон из любви к ближнему ... Прямой путь не всегда ведёт к правильному.....24:10 ...+Вагон метро 81-720/721 «Яуза
...половина этого сечения на один двигатель из 4х... 🏆🏆🏆
Well Done from 🇦🇺
Wishing you all the best for 2022 and future. Shows where there is a will to succeed there is a way.
George you are the BOMB! Fun to see how you've re-tooled from the photography days- Doing a visual inventory of your space, Im not surprised to see C Stands and Apple Boxes making the transition with you. The "detail thing" from the high end studio days plays right into the way you execute your projects! I feel that Italian spirit in your personality, and hope to be a client (Family) someday! Blessings in this new year! Ken V
yay so cool
Hi there. I haven’t forgotten you and all the help along the way. I was in the hospital in the ER Covid unit for five days and was the only survivor wit 57% viral pneumonia. I love watching your videos and you have inspired me with hope to look forward to being able to remove my homemade Murphy bed out and make better use of that space when the neuropathy in my hands and feet subsides. Meanwhile you always inspire me and I love my van because of your help and safety suggestions. God bless you.
Whoa! Edie, I wish you well. Godspeed.
Magnificent work!
humble and to the point presentation. thanks a lot for showing all the possibililies...
George hearing you talk about converting the Pleasureway XL is music to my ears. It’s a fantastic product but the old design needs a major upgrade.
‘You’ve come a long way baby’. Congratulations!🎉
Even if you only got a single van built to HRoad standards it's still better than all those van shops who build 'your' van 'their' way. You're the best!
Love this guy!!
Commenting for the algorithm.

I like Coffee with George.😻
You are amazing. The cardboard cut out walk though is absolutely brilliant and no small effort. I have a Rivian R1S LE on order and plan burn quite a few of my time off taking road trips when I get it. I plan to SUV camp quite a bit while it charges overnight while traveling to the destinations. Some destinations are for me (a little more rustic and do some mountain biking). I plan to maybe “upgrade” to camp gourds every now and then. My hope is to meet people like you along the way. Some of destinations will be for my wife to join me. I plan to pick her up from the airport and stay at nice hotels while she’s “visiting me”. :-)
The word is out now!
Hire wisely and watch that waiting list grow anyway.
The QUALITY CONTROL CIRCLE is such a proactive, ongoing, and real-time reality with you.
It’s gonna be an awesome year.
Great vid on your progress. Thank you for the tips 😊
You just needed a little candle to make it a fireside chat! Loved the recap and the updates! Best wishes!
Next time!
Wowwww this is so cool. How far your journey has come, and so glad for you and all your clients/customers 🍻👍😁😌🏆
"Coast to Coast XL; with George Mauro". Love it!!
Here's to 2022 being a banner year for the Craftsmen of Humble Road!
The Italian-made WINGAMM Oasi 610 GL van perfectly displays how the overhead bed design contributes to an excellent rear garage area as you have wisely pointed out with your own re-design aspirations.
Awesome recap! Can’t wait for 2022! (Jane in SC) Happy New Year!❤️🙏🏻
I recently came across your channel, subscribed two days ago, but aside from the wonderful builds you do (and you always give credit to Alex for his outstanding artworks), your explanation of all you do, and your sharing of knowledge, you are a natural. Your honesty simply pores through. Thank you, be safe and well.
Awesome, thank you for your kind words. And welcome to Humble Road! Much more to come!
So glad you are getting more help as I hope to be a future owner of a Humble Road van. Here's to a great 2022!
You do an amazing job!!!!
I want that cup for my husband 😆 hehe
Made it to the end. Those “family members” acquired a pretty awesome Uncle George! The rest of us are jealous. Guess we just have to settle with these videos. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!
Thank you!!
I'm so happy I came across this site, I think I finally found the one who will make my future abode .... thank you for sharing your skills and talent. I'm so excited and looking forward to seeing more of your builds and mine in the near future.
You are so welcome! And welcome to Humble Road!
Here you go: one more comment and one more thumbs up for 2022! For a good year of health and work. Oh! And I’m in country list number 7. Not bad! :)
Thank you! 👍
So stoked to see the Pleasureway excel build! I recently bought one and I plan to do a garage build out with a automatic bed elevator using 8020, linear bearings, and some type of actuators. Most likely track actuators
Yay Canada viewers! Im number one fan though :) HI JUNE!
The swing out table is perfect.
I would use a removable black net/mesh barrier on the front of the shelf below to keep items from sliding off.
Congratulations George to a well earned successful year. Your attention to detail and innovation are unmatched. Cheers
Thank you so much 😀
I so appreciate you, George. And yes, you had an awesome year! And, in doing so, you contributed to my own productivity. Bring on the future!
Thank you for the stats.
What a great and busy year, long may it continue. Thank you for your show, for your professionalism, and your obvious compassion in your work.
Thank you kindly!
Excellent product, well done I wish you were in Australia, having had a sprinter van 4x4 was not built for purpose, love your u tubes thank you
Thanks 👍
I have very recently found your channel and I can't stop watching your videos. I also can't stop talking about your work ethic, and craftsmanship to my wife. "Oh no, It's not about George again" she often says when I want to show her a video of yours. From one George to another, happy new year.
Thank you for your kind words. And welcome to Humble Road!
The deep rectangular sink is a must. You can put in a removable square plastic tub half its size.
' ... They're just as much mine as they are theirs ... ' ---- '... consistency and safety ... '
Best quality guarantees ever.
Never thought of it that way!
You are the greatest in everything..love how you were small pointing to the filters..wow love the channel and seeing your inventiveness and perfection to every aspect on build..you set the bar way up for all 🍷😁
Thanks so much!
Always love the videos…may not watch them on time but I make sure to watch them all. Keep up the good work and wishing you continued success in 2022!
happy new year George.
I contributed a lot to the Italian views number. Never miss watching, liking and often commenting. I wish you all the success you desire in 2022. The mini-me project is on my wish list. Not that I will ever live in a van, but I find the idea of having everything you need in a small organized space fascinating and eco-friendly.
12/18/22 and still loving your work!!
I appreciate that!
I glad you don’t watch the news about the economy or the collapse of said economy. Stay positive my friend.
I stopped watching the news after the predicted ice age in the year 2000 went the opposite way! 🙃😊
I've been watching this channel since its infancy, and have constantly been amazed at the increased quality and the overall growth of the channel. Happy New Year, George (and crew)! I can't wait to see what 2022 has in store!
Thank you Mark. I appreciate your support.
As cute as June is, I’d go off on a tangent, too. Best for the New Year, George.
I’m caught up.
That was quick!
And there is my fav again, your van #1 :). Congrats on such a successful journey George! Looking forward to all that is ahead in the coming year.
Sam's van!
I look forward to the Mini-me Vans (Ram Promaster City )
Happy 2022! That lithionics battery is a beast. I have a PleasureWay Excel RD and love the floorplan. Your fixed bed design rocks!!!
Congratulations Mr.Humbleroad! Been watching your channel from early on. Great to learn from you as you learn & share. Thank you! You’ve def. become a bonafide van builder. Have a safe & happy year in 2022!
I am behind on viewing because of working, but I'm so happy for you to be growing, George!
I used the diyvan mounting plate for my Maxx Air fan and it made getting a clean result really simple. No need for doubling/tripling up layers of butyl tape or cutting pieces of wood to fill the gaps. Definitely recommend.
Can't fault the Victron kit! Using the Multiplus II 3000/24 in my conversion. It's a beast. The van's plugged in 24/7 when we're home. It schedule charges between 00:30 and 04:30 when it's cheap electricity and discharges back into the house during the day. It's halved my electricity bill for the house. The battery will have paid for itself in 2 years ;)
Hope you have a great 2022!
I enjoy your videos and hope one day to become a lucky customer.
What a year. I love your meticulous nature of everything you do. I would love one day to have a Humble Road van. Happy New Year.
Happy new year!
Yes, indeed, a great year for you. Happy New Year. Wishing you many more great years! Your work is incredible! If only…
Happy new year!
I’m speechless! Your quality is amazing. I do have to say though, that I am now a little intimidated to try to do my own build. And I’m guessing asking you to do my build would probably be out of my price range. I still watch religiously. You are entertaining and so informative. Thanks for you continued quality content!
Thank you Momma!
Northern New Jersey Italian family…. Love it! ❤️
Congratulations Mr. George. A most happy and healthy 2022 to you and yours. Thank you for an entertaining docuseries of your extraordinary van builds. Simply~Beautiful.. I happened upon your channel out of curiosity of van builds and stayed for your sense of humor and video production 5*. I'm on to helicopters now but still check your channel out. Thanks You..
This is truly inspiring, your dedication to all your projects is exemplary but also the fact you invest in better tools and trying out new devices (vacuum table, CNC, 3D printer) deserves an applause.
Been watching your videos throughout my own van built and you are the most professional channel out there. Hope your business becomes super-successful, you truly deserve this. Bravo
OMG, George, I feel like I know you; however, it’s only through YT. Your workmanship is beyond…, your ethics for safety is first and foremost, which I love! If I ever wanted an upgrade (Refrigerator) and the drinking water in our 2017 LTV, I would be emailing you! Just love everything about you and the company that you have built at Humble Road. Thank you and Happy New Years!
Plillii
I have loved yr videos - yr approach and way you work is inspiring. I hope 2022 is a good one for you and your team. Best wishes from England.
No, Thank you. You have taught us a lot. We wish you a safe and prosperous 2022. Keep em rolling. Cheers!
I appreciate smart thoughtful detail oriented people. George you’d be a great friend. Wish there were more people like you around.
Thank you, James. I get my inspiration from your wonderful engineer, Q. 😎
@@HumbleRoad good one 😂
As always, just wonderful and exciting to see the positive growth and all the innovations along the way!! Continued success as Humble Road proves that good people do make a positive difference in this crazy world!! Thank you for hours of top notch content!! Cheers to you George and may you and your crew have a healthy and prosperous 2022!!
Thank you Perry! And thank you for your ongoing support.
@@HumbleRoad Dear George... It is quite easy cheering on such a good human!! Keep spreading the light!!
What an awesome recap for an awesome year…. A long way from the “nut bucket” days lol…. Looking forward to the ‘Mini me’ builds !!!
You and me both!
Love watching what you are doing. Life is a humble road.
A business with a ❤️!! I’m sure you’ll make it up to the people you couldn’t accommodate! It’s refreshing to know that you care enough to voice it out loud. Keep ip the good work
Absolutely!!
Awesome video, thanks for showing us the evolution - I really enjoyed it.
Hey George! Is it possible to have a Class C Camper where the seats swivel? I don't think I have ever seen this done before although I don't know why anybody wouldn't want a bigger wider Class C where you can swivel the two front seats to face a big table in front of the back seat 3 person bench seat! Then you can have a big open living area in front looking out of the side sliding door which I would also like to see incorporated into the Class C market!If we can have a big sliding door on a van why can't we have it on a Class C? I'd love to see what you could do with my design. I've learned a lot from you and other van builds and have a few good ideas that are doable they just haven't been done. Love your videos buddy!
George, thank you for making our 2021 dreams come true! I know that we were a bit of a pain by not being the most patient. The build is a pleasant reminder of the best part of the year. Thank god each morning we can set our feet on the ground. Continue to grow and be prosperous but most importantly have a healthy new year!
George, congrats on a great year and your business growth. Learning a lot from you and love the R & D and growth. You are definitely bonified now. :)
I appreciate that!
Thanks for sharing all these accomplishments George, I follow you since the beginning and I can tell you are very ambitious and conscientious ! I hope you will do your convoy's travel trip and take time to enjoy it ! I wish you a great 2022 !
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks George!
@HumbleRoad: A man after my own heart…coffee by Technivorm MoccaMaster! Behind every genius (even with pea brains, as you put it) is amazing coffee from the best coffee system on the market. Go George!
“Uponor!” As much fun to say as it is to make! Congrats on a great year - looking forward to the great year ahead!
Uponor IS fun to say! 😆👍
One of the best scripted and edited year in review vids. Happy New Year!
Wow, thanks!
Congratulations on an awesome 2021! What an exciting year to look back on for Humble Road. So many accomplishments and shared-learning! It was a pleasure to watch you and the team. Your ethics, humility, and justness are a solid foundation for best in class quality and safety. BTW -- Absolutely agree with your cardboard mock-ups. No other process will match that level of customer participation/feedback. It pays huge dividends in avoidance of miscommunications. Plus I personally really enjoy the cardboard walk-through from a viewer perspective as it whets the appetite for the final product! Looking forward to your 2022! Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thank you Dave!
Congrats on all your progress, I hope 2022 is even more productive and creative! We've got that same CNC in our shop and it's been fantastic. There has definitely been a learning curve, and we're still learning 18 months later. Things do break so you should be prepared with some spare parts (linear bearings in particular). Feel free to reach out if you have any problems with it. We've been salivating over that milwakee crimper for a while, maybe it's time to bite the bullet. That is one nice tool! Hopefully we can meet up sometime, I think we're only 40 minutes away. It would be great to foster a van builder community on the east coast that embraces collaboration more than competition. Cheers
Hello , I love your video . I'm Enla
Hello , I love your video . I'm Enla
High standards will always rise to the surface. Great work ethos. Only one or two large RV builders seem to come close to your finished product. Regards from U.K. AJ
Its been great watching this channel! The extra effort to light, film, AND custom-build each van is appreciated - Thanks! I look forward to seeing what your team will do in '22.
Thank you 🙏
Congratulations George! Wishing you, your family and your business a very happy, prosperous and safe new year! Looking forward to seeing the latest innovations that you come up with in your builds. Best Wishes in 2022 and beyond!
Thanks so much!
Love your approach to your work George. You look at everything in a practical common sense way. Quality tools make a quality job when operated by a quality engineer👍 Be careful double crimping those terminals. Quality terminals have a slight flare at the cable entry. Do not distort or flatten this flare as it is there to prevent stress and work hardening on the strands. Particularly important with fine multi strand cable like you are using. Having spent a number of years as a specialist vehicle builder working with military and emergency vehicles, I have learnt alot about the issues that vehicles have with reliability and most problems are due to very minor mistakes made during the build process.
Happy new year and keep up the good work mate👍
So cool to see how far you've come - looking forward to what lies ahead!
Happy New Year George.
Great documentary of the Humble Road.
Bigger electrical systems also means considering working with higher voltages.
Higher voltages means higher safety requirements. One of them being connecting with the airbag system, so in case of a collision, the whole electrical system is cut-off immediately.
Thanks for the info!
