haha,I heard that too

Word.

Alas, I am a slave to my craft. No Hershey for me this year. ☹️

Nah, he is making big money on his builds. Don't go any where. Lol

I'd love to have some Humble Road Merch. White t shirt would be nice. 👍if you'd like some too. 😉

You are very welcome

🤣

Yeah, two drops nearly came out at that one. 🤣🤣🤣

Yes that was awesome and took me a second to see what he did there...

Glad you liked it!

Is anything really UV stable ?

He tapes it.

Diyvan.com

I held the label up to the camera so you could read it. It’s on Amazon.

Thank you for your kind words, Robert. I’m sorry to say I am currently doing full builds only. Go slow, don’t panic. 👍

@@HumbleRoad Many thanks for your encouragement ; ) I can do this !

I think it’s basically the same as eternabond

yes

Holes are not a bad thing, as long as they are treated correctly. Boats have holes through their hulls under the waterline! 😳

You can install a minisplit AC with hose holes in the floor. Or a window rattler AC with a hole in the door. For solar wiring, attach the glan to the housing that contains the third brake light/ back up cam. The cables can be brought in via existing holes. I’d also recommend putting the panels atop a roof rack, which can attach to the factory locations. So all of these can be done without putting any holes into the metal roof.

The roof tape can be used on any flange.

The 3M products, IMHO, are better.

Yes I use 3m4000 let it cure one week, then cover it with tape.

@@HumbleRoad Thanks! Most people with Winnebagos think that self-leveling lap sealant is the best product because that's what the factory uses. But I recently saw a video showing why they use it - because a single operator with a hose feeding lap sealant to a long nozzle can walk across the roof of a new RV and have all twenty or thirty points sealed in about two minutes!

Yes, and ever notice that lap sealant must be maintenanced every season!?

similar product.

I sometimes use 3M4000 fast cure.

You will most likely damage the fan housing and certainly void the warranty.

@@HumbleRoad “most likely” so you’re saying there’s a chance…Dang (insert ah shucks emoji)

I believe it’s the same thing

@@HumbleRoad I believe it is too at a reduced price.

The air conditioner foam seals the seam as you torque the mounting bolts.

@@HumbleRoad Of course you're much smarter than me, haha!

@@HumbleRoad Well done on all the builds, they are looking magnificent

I may have to censor you... 🤣LOL!

@@HumbleRoad Hehehe

I think the DC air conditioners on the market are starting to be a viable alternative. The service network and price are what hold me back from using them.

@@HumbleRoad Yep I'm finding out this out a little to late! I have a Proair and when it works, it does the job. I'm looking at either a Nomadic 2000 or Cruise n Comfort to replace the Proair after 3 years. I'm doing my research now. George, I have watched your channel for a long time now and know that you are a professional. Money is not a issue, I just need it to work! Thoughts?

@@johnd843 Personally, I recommend my clients stay with the tried and true, easily serviced or replaced air conditioners. DC air conditioners will most likely become mainstream. But until then..

@@HumbleRoad Understood! Thank you for taking the time and answering my question. Outstanding channel and your attention to detail 2nd to none.

@@johnd843 thank you for sharing this info.

Everyone knows you only drive forward in a storm..😊

@@HumbleRoad LOL

😊

Me too!

@@HumbleRoad 🤣

Hello .. was wondering what are the next steps after the tape ... for a maxx fan install ... we would just drop the adapter directly on top of the tape.. screw it down and lap sealant over screws and tape?

It's only sticky on one side. The white visible side has a very durable smooth plastic surface. Job's done.

I suppose that is one way of looking at it.

Until we pull the unit and investigate, my thought is insufficient torque on the four corner bolts. The dense foam gasket has a great deal of compression factor, and the instructions do not take full advantage of that. As a precautionary move, I went in and re-torqued the Sprinter and added a fillet of 3M 4000 around the perimeter.

You are comparing apples to oranges. And beyond that, your perceived "effort" is my tonic.

I may have misinterpreted your question and you certainly went zero to sixty in an instant! In almost every respect, it is not practical to compare a manufactured van to a custom built van. Hence the great disparity in price. My labor rates are commensurate with the quality and custom nature of the product and in certain cases are 2-3 times that of a manufactured van. I began building custom vans as a direct reaction to the shortcomings of a manufactured van. I take great pleasure and satisfaction in the creative innovations I dream up and I earn a very good living doing so. However, the effort and associated costs are not for everyone, and that is why there are so many options and choices out there. Lastly, while I purposefully avoid drama and politics on this platform, to suggest I am a liberal is laughable. I sense that if we got off on better footing, we are more alike than not.

@@HumbleRoad Thanks for your answer. Maybe you could link me to one of your vids where the total costs are explained (if you have one)

Each van is different, so final pricing varies. In order to respect the owner's privacy, I don't make costs and prices public.

I can say a Humble Road van costs more than an Airstream Interstate, but less than an Advanced RV.
