Hi - Based in the UK and just bought a 2000 sportster and had the issues, where the flashers came on and didnt flash with LED's. Strangely the Hazards even with LED's flashed perfectly fine. I installed the relays and fixed the turn signals which now flash, but with the relays installed, the Hazards dont even come on - did you come across this?
Worst thing I ever did was let my van go, I bought it brand new off the show room floor, drove it for 15 years and sold it with 140k on it. I let a friend and his wife take it on a 1400 mile trip with their family just before I let it go. Now I'm trying to find another one 10 years later.
Hi Steph, this is Beau and Leena, the "Happy Campers" from the next site over in this video. We really enjoyed meeting you the other weekend, We had a great time and a lot of laughs. Look forward to running into again back there. Cheers
Hey, awesome build man, Ive done a couple swaps and builds too. Check out the link I sent, I Tee'd the original gauges and flush mounted aftermarket ones in the dash. They work with the stock ones. "C:\Users\erico\OneDrive\New Saved\IMG_2458.JPG"
I did one of these hondas a couple of years ago, if you cut it of at the front theirs a j shaped pipe going into another chamber and rinning to the front of the atv and back out to the back, the j piece of pipe had come lose but was made of good thickness of steel, i tacked it back in again, the Honda's need a bit of back pressure as far as i read. Have my own to do now, Great vid, thanks from Ireland.
What i've noticed is the ceiling under my panels is cool in the summer. I forgot how hot the skin of a vehicle gets and the added layer of a solar panel prevents the skin directly underneath from getting hot. When i started insulating my ceiling i started in other areas and not under the panels. Your van has a finished interior so you may not notice this, but mine was an empty skin and it was quite noticable. It was a fluke for me, i just touched different parts of the ceiling on a hot day and my fingers noticed it. With small panels you may or may not notice an improvement in your interior temperature. In the winter it's the opposite, there wont be sun warming up that part of your roof in the cold weather.
I've been scouring RU-vid for the last couple of years learning about all things RV life as my plan is to live in a bumper pull trailer. You folks from Canada amaze me. You seem to adapt well to cold weather. My question is, do elderly people from the "Great White North" grow tired of the cold and the snow? If so, what then? I live in Northern Michigan and I, like many other people from the States can escape the frigid temps by heading south. I used to love to ski and play in the snow as a child but not anymore. Our long winters have me wanting to never see another snowflake as long as I live. Winter is for the young, so again I ask, what do the elderly do up there???
Welcome to the channel ! We'll we have lots of snowbirds that head your way during cold months and other sit by the window waiting for spring hahaha ..I get it though my plan is to spend time down south as well when the kids leave the nest ! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe !
Quick question.. Any way on a future video you could show your screens in the small sliding side windows? I have a similar van ('95 Chevy G20) but the screens are ripped out. I want to put them back in but can't seem to find where they are attached to.. Thanks! 🤘
Totally can ! They go in like household screen with that rubber garket pushed into a smal Grove on the inside of the can but keep an eye on the next video il give you a shout out ! Cheers
@beardedvanadventures Awesome! I really appreciate it. On mine they are behind some metal piece screwed into the van body but that didn't seem right. The van came like that when I purchased it. Thanx again!
Fantastic. Why not go with lifepo batteries with internal heating? I assume you have a place to plug the van in when you're not using it. I'm not as lucky so I'm sticking with agm for now.
@beardedvanadventures Any idea what brand you'll go with? If I had the money, SOK so I'll prolly go with Li-time. Lots of youtube testers like them a lot. Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks so much for this as i have trouble shot this to the module and bought a cheap one, you did all the work for me! My 2004 450 foreman. Cheap one didnt work either.
