Wow, I was convinced that I needed a 170 to haul dirt bikes, but your 144 build is awesome! New subscriber here and I'm looking forward to watching all your content!

Thanks so much! The 144 can be very capable if built right. It's been great. I love this van.

Great video! Ouch on the van windshield! Look at having the lightest ceramic tint applied to your new windshield before installation, it makes a huge difference in the heat during the summer here in the desert!

oh, tip on the sunshade, impact driver drill and 7-8" lag bolt, screw it into the ground. and then use the drill to unscrew it. the "wood screw" big bolt will dig right in and hold. I use this for my big pop up shade. I don't think a normal drill will have the torque (never tried it). BUT once unscrewed you kind of need someone to hold the pop up shade, cuz that is when the wind always kicks up.

I actually do exactly that. Just not this day. 😆

nice build, i think a van would definitely handicap my build though, because i plan on towing a trailer with a tiny home on it in the future. some of those trailers need a heavy duty truck with 12,000 lbs of towing capacity. the van is only 7,500 lbs of towing capacity, so towing anything heavier means you'll need to buy a $20,000 heavy duty truck for towing purposes

@LiveLikePete 10 ай бұрын

Thanks! A trailer would defeat the sole benefit or purpose of the van. 😄 These vans can actually only tow 5k. They are super convenient and useful on their own though.

amazing set up man - Quick question for you - I had an idea that it would be better to reverse the motorcycle in the van. So the handle bars would be further at the back of the van and not too much in the way of the living space. What do you think? would it be easy to reverse the bike in or loading the bike forward is the only way? in any case have a wonderful adventure full year

@LiveLikePete 7 ай бұрын

Thanks! I've loaded them both ways. I rarely camp with the bike inside the van but that would give a little extra room if you left it inside overnight. 👍

How are you dealing with the gas smell in the van, that’s the part I’m struggling with right now, even with a efi bike. Only thing I can think is the exhaust fans on the roof in a open setup like that.

@LiveLikePete Жыл бұрын

I've never really noticed any. The only time I've smelled fuel is when I store the bike in the van for extended periods of time longer than overnight but as soon as I open the doors it gets aired out. I always have the vent fan open and a window cracked if I'm sleeping with the bike inside, but it's never even been an issue.

@jasonmaylor8100 Жыл бұрын

I have this problem too. Thought the efi bikes would be solution,,,,nope. Running fan all night sucks out heat/ac and sucks in pollen to piss off my allergies.
