10:58 Image my surprise when I parked my van one day and the van next to me had parked on top of a piece of wood which was purposefully made to look like a human lower leg, including a tennis shoe and sock... very weird but also very funny and in an urban setting totally stealth...
@koningbolo47002 ай бұрын
Those pictures out of the back of the van is not about the view but more about the scantily clad miss on her stomach in the foreground...or at least so I was told... I would not know anything about that because my miss is not ...well you catch my drift...

Wifi can be enhanced relatively easy using a directional wifi antenna connected to a usb wifi card. It is possible to get reasonable wifi connections at restaurants/gas stations and hotels where normally no would be visible even... A directional antenna can be made with easy to find parts (like a toilet brush holder of all things) an a matter of an hour or so...look up cantenna... you will love it...

Cooking in a van should not be any more difficult compared to cooking in a house. Obviously you have the amount of food available in cold or regular storage but you can plan a somewhat healthy diet for sure. If you like to try some of my time tested ways of cooking, look into: the omnia stove oven (or a more affordable Italian (Versili) or spanish (ibili) version), a diy heat retention cooker (or hay box) called the Wonderoven (which can be sewn together - by hand if in a pinch - using an old cotton bed sheet or duvet cover, an extremely handy way to cook while driving even and without using any energy not to mention safe and no need to attend as the cooking is going on. Very nice for those dishes which need a long time stewing, you know the Irish Stew, Boeuf Bourguignon and those hearty winter soups like pasta fagioli), a pressure cooker (obviously a great way to cook fast and very energy efficient), steaming food (also very easy and über healthy, though moisture buildup in the van is a consideration), if you want to go a little bit extra out of the box you could experiment with a solar oven (cardboard, some aluminium tape and two glass washing machine doors (huh? yes those glass things are very useful) does the trick (the interweb has the free plans, if not shoot me aline, I can send you one over) There is no excuse to eat poorly in the van... Ask Ainsley, Ramsey, Bourdain or if you must Oliver...
@koningbolo47002 ай бұрын
Hot water in a van is relatively easy. An Italian company called Quick makes stainless steel boilers from 15L upto 60L I believe which are heated using heat from the engine cooling system and an electric heating element (which is rather large - 800W - but can be toned down using a power dimmer) I have this voltage sensitive relay installed which switches the heater element on if the battery is nearly fully charged so any excess solar power is diverted into the boiler. Like you I have this sprayer setup in the galley but I also have this anti leak tray which has been converted into a shower pan which I place on top of a floor drain so I can use the shower pan as needed. The pan has a shower curtain and a standard curtain rail (with 4 ready made bend pieces in it to form a rounded square) which I hang from the ceiling. My van is tall but not tall enough to use an overhead shower head so I have this stool with water proof upholstery so I can sit down and do a Furo style shower (using a bucket warm water and a small plastic cup) and I also am able to use the sprayer from the galley if need be.... I do not have a build in waste water tank but I do have a 25L tank on a trolley which I place underneath the van to catch any waste water from both the galley sink and the floor drain which the waste water from the shower pan flows into...

Is it just me BUT Joe's cutting upwards towards his femoral artery seems seriously dangerous. Bleed out time from severing that is just a few minutes. And even if Jodie is a qualified nurse/doctor saving someone cut like is tough wihout the gear to hand. The first rule of knife safety is always to cut away from your body or from another person. Always. And this isn't an urban myth. Can't believe I would be the first to say this on this thread but am so horrified. I watch your videos from the warmth between you two. As has been said by many, watching amateurs van build as teaching tools is only going to lead to problems.

Yeah I watched a Greg Virgo video.where he states that Solar power is only about 15% efficient and leisure batteries are only 50% efficient.👍
@JodieandJoe3 ай бұрын
The efficiency of panels can go up to the mid 20s but it's factored into the rating (300w panel still puts out 300w of power) The leisure battery efficiency of 50% is referring to the depth of discharge in AGM lead acid batteries where you shouldn't discharge past to 50% (12v). Our lithium iron phosphate are different and can safely get closer to 90% capacity
