We're Lisa & Jeff Warnick and we've been repping Thrive freeze-dried foods for over 10 years.

We also do conversions on client-owned vans. In this video

What an elegant professional solution to what seems to the novice like me to be a very difficult task in a van build. Thank you for sharing.

Glad it was helpful!

You really do quality work, thanks for sharing. How your business continues to thrive and you keep making these videos. You've already given me multiple ideas for my existing Winnebago class B. I wish I knew of you six years ago.

@OurThrivingLife 6 месяцев назад

I appreciate that! Good luck with your Winnebago update!

I absolutely love your channel. I am in the planning phase of building out a van which won’t happen until 25-26. I have immersed myself in RU-vid videos and you are by far, hands down, the best channel. You have given me so many ideas and the details of your videos are spot on for a novice like me. Your builds are BEAUTIFUL and I wish I could afford to lay down the $ and have you build one for me. Your style is my style so I will be incorporating many of your design ideas into my build. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Cheers from Southern California. Lisa

Great ceiling look! What length trim head screws do you use to not go through your furring strips & into the van metal?

@OurThrivingLife 6 месяцев назад

We use 1-1/4”. That’s the shortest we’ve found. We screw them into the furring strip where it overhangs the metal so it doesn’t hit it.

I subscribe to Bill and Elizabeth Keller. I was so impressed with his last video on the solar install that I decided to watch your channel. I am very impressed with your videos and I really appreciate how much information you share. Thank you very much for that. I do want to say that I am looking into doing a cargo conversion and I am planning on using much of the information I’m getting from your channel on my build. Thank you again.

Great video. You do a great job, and show & tell so clearly!

In the video you mentioned the use of a trim screw that is 1” In length, however, the link you have provided to Amazon includes a 1-1/4” screw. I could not find where GRK made a 1” screw. Which raises the question below. If you have a 1/2” board for your furring strips and the final slats are 1/2”, it makes sense that you would want 1” screws. Thanks

@OurThrivingLife 2 месяца назад

Sorry. They are 1-1\4”. We use 5/8” for furring. The screws poke through the backside of the furring strips slightly.

@mitchellkauffman6799 3 месяца назад

The ceiling looks great! I was wondering if you coat both sides or just one side of the slats. With it being so thin I thought that maybe just the outside would need to be finished.

I like your Duck cloth/ canvas solution…I have used this material before, very good material with good properties and It saves using a thin board too. And I would say duck cloth is preferable over using board too, for water-proofness, and easy to fix. I made some window blinds out duck cloth when car camping ( with a sandwich layer of thin silver thermal stuff) If anyone in UK wants to try Jeff’s ceiling…Diogo at UK fabrics Online is recommended by me to supply Duck cloth/canvas. Only discounts code I have seen is Black Friday 15% off for 4 days

12:59 in the back, what did you screw those into?

@bgzwlz5119 Месяц назад

Not trying to 2nd guest your work which is brilliant, but when you are starting with 12’ boards they are 6/8” thick you are wasting a lot of material when you are running the boards through the table saw on edge to get rid of 3/8” of the 6/8” thickness. I’m guessing that they don’t sell 4/8” (1/2”) 12’ boards? Then you would have less waist. Did you ever try ripping the boards into two boards that are a little less than 3/8” each and then run them through the planner? My guess is that the table saw won’t cut 3.5” deep (1/2 of the 7” depth) in order to do this.

@OurThrivingLife Месяц назад

12’ long boards are hard to find. We start with 4/4” boards that are 6-1/2” to 7” wide, so we get 4 slats out of each board.
