I feel like Eden has such a presents on camera that most CZcams Couples I don't think have that often where Her energy matches Morleys equally. I am so used to seeing the girlfriend or boyfriend that is in the relationship with the main CZcamsrs energy being decreased compared to the CZcamsr they are dating. Morley and Eden matching the same energy is a breath of fresh air
Such a good girl! I love watching these vids, starting listening to your podcast last night, too. Great work guys!
She is a good girl and a gentle giant ❤
Watching this put a huge smile on my face the entire time. What a delight to see you working on this and sharing your thoughts and experiences. Having Eden involved is such a plus. You do this all so thoughtfully and joyfully. Wow. You guys are great. And not just for the genius way you solve technical problems.....
Thank you so much!
9:59 what a good girl! This is by far one of my favorite, CZcams channels! I’m really enjoying this van build series! And it’s so cool that you’re doing it with Eden!
Thank you so much!
So happy for you guys. Loving the journey so far! So proud of Abbey.
WHAT A GOOD GIRL
Loving this series. Would love to hear more about what both of y'all are learning!
Thank you! We talk more about lessons learned in the podcast, but maybe we should talk about it even more 😊
Wasn't expecting to hear Rochester mentioned. Might need to get a table from you someday and make you come visit your friends here!
She is such a a good girl!!
I just found this channel a few days ago and now I am hooked! I got to know how it all goes. I wish you both the best in your new life and this great adventure you’ve embarked on. Happy travels from Georgia! 👏🏼🚐 🐈⬛ 🐶 👩🏻🧔🏻☀️🌅🌄🌇
Pelican 🤗🐶. Enjoyed the long video very much. First time ever seeing you guys, very enjoyable 🤗🐶 Lynn & Boomer
You both look so happy 🥰🫶
I actually just went on holiday in a camper van of the similar size. It had two windows on the top. One where the current one is and one right above the side door. Gives you some extra light in the Interior of the van.
It's coming along nicely!
I swapped out my 2 seater passenger seat for the single passenger seat and it's awesome being able to walk from the front of the van into the back. I have a divider wall there too, with a door so love how that separates the spaces. All the best with your build. I've just finished my 2nd build.
I am so encouraged by your support for each other’s Input into the project. Keep it up, and you will be successful. I wish you all the best❤ ❤
I loved this video! I'm so excited to see how the van evolve as you do making this new project! You guys are amazing and the vibe you give is so nice!
Good Girl! Can’t wait for the next episode!
Guess we know who wears the trousers in the relationship!!!! Love the shows. More woodwork episodes please!!
10:40 why did you not get those parts from a junkyard?
Something tells me you could of saved on the seatbelt sensor. I'm not 100%, but i feel like i've seen a video on "hot wiring" it so that it always thinks the seatbelt is in.
yeah, its probably just a simple push to make switch inside the seatbelt, so just a wire between the right pins would trick it to think theres a seatbelt plugged in.
Without a doubt they could’ve easily spoofed the sensors with a simple jumper, or at worst a resistor. Surprised somewhat of a “maker” channel overlooked this.
@@RolandSpec not all makers are comfortable with electronics.
GOOD GIRL!!! 🐾🐾
Love how this is coming along. If you want to get some ideas I saw a video yesterday from DualEx. He did a van and did some interesting things.
WHAT A GOOOOOD GURLLL loving the series btw
Love this series
Protip. When on the roof of the car, take of your shues or put some fabric up there, to prevent scratching.
Welcome to Rochester!
Good girl. Fun video.
Pelican!!!
As you get closer to launching your On the Road Adventures, you should get the van wraped with fantatic graphics, about doing On the Spot, 3D Print Repairs.
GOOD GIRL!!!
Hi i just subscribed! Im also building my van and live in Canada (Vancouver). Keep up the great vanlife content!
I live in the Rochester area (Mendon). It's good to have friends!
And, yes, cats prefer to go outside given the chance. My indoor cats have always gone outside (we live in a rural setting).
If she's already litter trained, just put the litter box outside a few times (remove it from inside), then sprinkle some litter on the ground after that, and soon she'll demand to go out when she needs to. Keep her crated in the van until she's converted or she might mess on something fabric during the transition.
That’s great to know, thanks!
Good doggie!!
I live for these videos!
😊❤️
I am working on a project right now using 3/4" Baltic Birch Ply. And some people keep telling me that it is completely overkill for what I am doing.
But, seeing you trying to straighten the frame of your ceiling light makes me very happy that I went with the high quality wood.
No one but you can judge whether something is worth it. -Heath
P.S. Good Girl
The beauty of doing stuff yourself is you can overbuild it as much as you want!
@@MorleyKert and have everyone on social media tell you what you are doing wrong, LOL
I'm sure you thought about this before spending 600 dollars on the sensors, but wouldn't it be possible to simply short some of the contacts on the plugs in order to trick the computer into thinking the seat is empty?
I'm sure it's possible, but electronics isn't my strong suit and I wanted to go by the book on this one :)
@@MorleyKert I would have tried asking an electrician for an opinion then, you could have saved quite a bit (and you may still can, if you can sell or return what you bought), and you wouldn't have all those things under the seat
@@MorleyKertit is possible with just a few resistors inserted into the vehicle-side plugs. Would be happy to help if it’s not too late to return or sell the parts.
VERY good Girl! 🙂
Good girl 🐶🐶🐶
Good Girl, Abby!
You have to factor in a dog bed. The good girl needs a cushy bed!
Good Girl!!!!
GOOD GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRL
Goodest girl!
Good girl!!!
Morley you're a lucky man, you have a good girl and an awesome fiancee!
I love u guys ❤❤❤❤❤
Good girl!
Good girl Abbey.
Nice
That seat deal worked out great 👍 How do you plan on insulating the front cabin part?
When you install the litter box in the back you could even go overkill and have some kind of fan/exhaust thing going on (even if it would involve cutting another hole). I was just having this thought, because heat in the warm months plus litterbox doesn't match up too good 😊 Great video again, oh and "GOOD Girl" (she's so cute).
We’ll probably just do a simple blackout curtain between the cab and back area, and some window reflectors on the windows.
Good girl. !!!!!🎉
GOOD DOGGO
Good girl!!!!!!
GOOD GIRL
Good girl ❤!
Abbie is the goodest of good girls ❤ please give her extra pets and scritches from me 😊
goood gurl
GOODEST GIRL
WHAT A GOOD GIRL
Goood girl!
Good Girl
I saw you guys were using Fusion 360 for the design. How do you feel designing the interior in Fusion for your build? How is it working with the "almost square" interior?
The Fusion model assumes everything is perfectly square (though it is based off of real measurements that we took in the van), but we’re making all of our cuts based on the van’s real shapes.
Why so few liiiikes 😭 this is great
Seeing you are a builder could you put together a van tool kit for someone who knows nothing???
just looked at the amazon store link, do you have a link for the water tank, I am still in the planning stages for my uhaul conversion in the next year but cant seem to find water tanks
Just added it to the description! We got ours from Recpro.com
Goooooooooos guuuuuuuurl
What was that under the seat?
DAS A GOOD GIRL
Goood Girl
Hey where’s Abby’s seat and seat belt! 😊
Good girl
am i stupid, what did they find under the seat? 🤨
i am also curious
A joint
@@HappyLooter ah ok makes sense thank you :p
oh i am glad im not the only one confused.
Liked, shared and commented 🍻🤴🏻 19:12
Excuse my ignorance, but how does it work with a cat when your location will regularly be changing. Will it be safe to let the cat out and trust they will come back. I had a friend who had a cat on his narrow boat but he seldom sailed more than a few km at a time, and most of the tow paths were in the countryside.
Our cat has cerebellar hypoplasia and she isn’t too interested/capable in going too far or running up a tree. But we have a backpack and harness for her for safety!
So you know these sensors could have been taken out via software ...?
Rule of van build. It will take twice as long and cost twice as much. :D
Is the word "Joint"? Lol
7:55 that's a lot of dog hair!!
Def should've done an electrocution prank there
😂😂
What a good girl
All that insulation next to the bed is making me itchy
5:49 Someone please tell me what this app is called
Fusion 360
ROAD TRIP and first comment!
ansert first!
Did you pay taxes on the things that you brought back over the border? 👀👀👀👀
Gute fraulein.
Good girl!!
Good girl!
GOOD GIRL
Super good girl ❤
10:40 why did you not get those parts from a junkyard?
Have to find them at a junkyard first, and if the vehicle has been in an accident, the seatbelt pretensioner has to be replaced
Good girl
