    another excellent video with lots of detail on a rarely touched on part of a van build. you deserve so many more views and subscribers but i guess too many are drawn towards the various American van build series running at the moment, all with lots of flash, bang & wallop but usually very little actual content or detail. Its the mention of things like the 25mm window piece from the upvc window suppliers that make all the difference as it is these little details people get stuck on.....

    The tape is only there for when your cutting to keep the slats from sliding around.

    @He110World Před 3 lety +1

    Do you need the tape? The slats slot into each other right? So once its installed there shouldn't be any reason they'll fall out of the runners?

    • @TheCraftyBlindersvanlife
      @TheCraftyBlindersvanlife  Před 3 lety

      The tape is fitted by the manufacturer and is stuck on there
      I did try to remove a section from the off cut but it was solid so just left it on in all honesty

      @@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife Your not being honest with your viewers. Your looking only by the sellers point of view and not what a RVer would really do.. Did you explain that if anything is wrong, anything there is NO refunds. That the double stick tape may not and usually is NOT strong enough and will unstick after a short period of time. Your relying to much on the top and bottom bar to hold it up and it will not.

    • @TheCraftyBlindersvanlife

      @@kenrivers4041 I'm sorry I don't understand the point your trying to make here
      why would I need to explain that if I or you for that matter cut or size reduced or even modify a product that there would be no refund?
      If you point is that maybe I should take time to explain this it would be pointless in my opinion as each company has its own returns policy, also some sacrificial cuts are allowed with companies and not with others
      Please remember this vlog is to document how I built my shower and van and I'm well aware of what I'm doing when I modify a product to fit I must accept some of the responsibilities and accountability for my actions if a product fail as a result of my actions that on me if it's a manufacturing issue that's still on them regardless
      This door is designed to run in the top and bottom guides as are many tambour door systems as for the tape this is removed once installed something I covered in a later vlog
      The shower has been in use for nearly 18 months now with absolutely zero issues and next to no maintenance, if anything was to go wrong I would post a video covering this to keep any viewers interested in the subject informed
      Thanks for your comments It would be nice to know if I covered your point
      Take care Sam
