Welcome to another day in the life of a solo 28 year woman building out my precious Ford Transit van all by myself.
Building this van has been taxing, but not for reasons you'd think. It's honestly been very hard to put my all into both work and this van build without help.
I made a tough decision to put work on the back burner the next couple months while I put as much time as possible into this van build. After all, the van build is temporary!
Right now I'm in my electrical stage. Let me know what you think. :)

I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to post weekly vlogs again while in the middle of my van build. 😅 It is nice to capture the experience, but it's also very difficult to work efficiently while filming the process (not to mention the 2+ days dedicated to editing each video). While I will be posting these Sunday vlogs less often while I focus on my van build, I will be sharing RU-vid Shorts of my van build progress every Monday and many Wednesdays. I will also livestream, but I am not setting a schedule for that since van build projects can be too unpredictable to plan a day and time in advance. If you want to catch these, I recommend turning on notifications by tapping the notification bell under this video. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into a day in the life building a van as a solo woman. Let me know what you think or if there's anything specific you'd love to see next. 🙂 Shop Quad Lock: bit.ly/quadlockmounts

For weight purposes you should swap the positions of the inverter and battery. Keep the heavier things in front of the rear axel.

You make such great videos, Darian❣️ I just got done yesterday with my prewiring, next is to buy all the expensive electrical system pieces as you did in this video which was extremely helpful for me🙏🏼 You are mega talented in the things you do, very inspirational!!💖✨✨✨👍🏼

@darian.explores 26 дней назад

Aw thank you so much. 💞 Congrats on another project done! The electrical is so expensive... If you do go the Victron route, you should be able to take $50 off per purchase at signaturesolar.com/?ref=2xuohNxmBJUKf- with code DARIAN50. I'm not sure if that helps.

AH I saw one of your wires was labeled propane valve! im planning on installing propane in my build for my shower heater and oven, but I didn't run a wire for this. What exactly is that wiring going to do for you?

@darian.explores 26 дней назад

It’s for the 12v propane solenoid valve, which basically regulates the propane and ensures that it can’t leak unless propane is activated (in which case you’d smell it). I hope that helps!

@joecool7165 25 дней назад

Why use wood?

@DavetheUberSlave 26 дней назад

Have a Qualified and Trusted Automotive Electrician Check Over those Electrical Installations. Reason being, most Vehicle Electrical Problems and Heaven Forbid Fires are caused by retrofit electrical installations on these (OBD2 CAN Modern Vehicles). Some of them cannot be retrofitted with Alternative Electrical installations and Insurance Companies will not pay out, if problems arise due to these retrofitted installations. Have a Qualified Automotive Electrician Check it out and also have your Ford Dealer Check it out...! God Bless..! 🤔🤔😇😇👍👍
