With the internal cable path (conduit). Tie a tissue onto some fishing line and suck it through with a vacuum and then pull some rope through then the cable. You guys are doing great and looks so good that’s my dream setup

@bolivarramos933 3 года назад

Brilliant!

@E.Vancina88 3 года назад

Or put a magnet on the end of the wire and drag it down with another magnet (aluminium in non magnetic so it wont stick to the conduit. Engineers way of doing it :p) Or, get some yellow tongue and tape the cable to that and push it down (Electricians way of doing it :p)

I can feel Chris holding back the frustration through the screen 😂😂

@stuartjones1298 3 года назад

Couldn’t we all

@jamest5149 3 года назад

When you can get up on the roof run another bead of sealant around the edge of the fan and the window frames. Any hole in the roof or sides is a water magnet and can ruin your rig. From a caravan builder 👍

@TheOutFit 3 года назад

That will be first project as soon as we get our Mog back! :)

@graememacauley3957 3 года назад

Chris, just a recommendation mate, turn your blind units upside down so the sun shade is coming from bottom. It allows privacy by lifting part way up and whilst still letting in light. Should be just a flip.

@paulw9293 3 года назад

Great work you peeps! We know it's frustrating when it doesn't turn out as you'd hoped but you need to keep moving forward & chase your dreams - we live what you're both achieving ❤💪🤙✌

@michaelguerin56 3 года назад

Chris says angry face and … THE BOSS says … we are happy today! 🙂

@StreetsandTracks 3 года назад

Jheeze! Glad your finally are able to be reunited with Bowser and get back to work! What a stressful time its been waiting and being messed about 😒 hopefully it’ll all get better from now and eventually get away from that supplier and be alone and do what you guys do best together!🙂 stay positive 👍🏼

@TheOutFit 3 года назад

Thank you so much guys for your support and cheering us up! I'll publish an update on Patreon tonight and we'll sit down soon to film what happened. Excited for what is to come 😀

@vudu5vudu 3 года назад

Good on Ange for being the positive influence.

@promenteryrobbins 3 года назад

Level headed Ange keeping Chris on a leash there! But the box looks great. Hope you sealed the side windows with sealant too…

@awesomedave8484 3 года назад

Yeah she’s a huge help. I’m sure the editing cuts out Chrissy boy’s frustration which gets directed at the closest unfortunate person.

@fergspan5727 2 года назад

When fishing cable down a conduit , tap the area around the conduit and the vibrations will help

@SarahandKeelanTravels 3 года назад

hey guys, been watching you for a long time now. Don't stress about the times things take! you've done a great job so far. We will be watching and following no matter the time it takes!

@relationshipreal 3 года назад

Awesome look on the camper !! I love the shape and I am sure it’s gonna be a kickass home soon!! No victory comes without sacrifice!! Chewing those rocks makes the journey worth it and is actually keeping the suspense going !

@korkeradventures-biglapnom1669 3 года назад

Looking good. Just a consideration: We find it's better to have the flywire blind coming from the top and solid blind from the bottom. Then you can have the solid blind partly up to maintain privacy while letting air in through the flywire at the top. We admire your work on this massive project.

@rosepullman6918 3 года назад

Good progress Chris & Ange. It is good that you are showing a little of the frustrations that arise, problems are a normal part of life, it is not all rainbows and unicorns :-)

@DirtSunrise 3 года назад

Keep at it guys! So much frustration, but you'll get through it and be on a beach exploring and enjoying in no time.

@briansouthworth737 2 года назад

Great Show, im keeping the dream alive, I'm looking forward to being just like these people.. Thanx..

@Flycountry 9 месяцев назад

Thank you, you two, for your discussion regarding You Tube workings. Very informative! I now watch the #/+-@ ADs, because I do enjoy your channel. Have now gone back to Build episode 1 to Build episode 12. Slowly catching up to your latest.

@thefreedomaddiction9639 3 года назад

Yyyeeewwww! So stoked to see you got the mog back with a house on the back. Looks awesome🤘🤘🤘

@cliffbooth7075 3 года назад

Looks awesome. Exceeds expectations like you wouldn’t believe. Geez you’d be super proud to own & use that.

@whiteeulogianraven7995 3 года назад

Watching that Shell on your Unimog was a blast to the eye, like Boooom Babe, Ready?! Amazing. ¡PURA VIDA MATES!

@Davi.b 3 года назад

Chris. The electrical wires can be fed through with a spark's snake or some flooring yellow tounge strip, how ever when you built it ( hindsight ) is a beautiful thing. You could of put string in the conduit, to attach to the wires and pull throught , Any ways. Gr8 build man, hit Cruise mode. Don't stress. This is the bit thats going to make every thing you both do, so MUCH better, Breathe bud

@MeetOnTheRoad 3 года назад

Wonderful 😍 This box is perfect for the Mog . Can't wait to see what you do with that empty cell? ....

@michaeledwards7604 3 года назад

Felt your frustration but you kept it together well. Just remember in 6 months time when your relaxing in front of a camp fire in some remote area it will be all worth while. That said I cant wait till your back on the road exploring, thanks for the update.

@hayleywhitmore3084 3 года назад

So good to see you guys learning everything along the way 👍

@davidthornborough3395 3 года назад

it looks great ,the frustration of the delays would get to anyone. Hoping their are no design faults because you have both done so well so far . here is to a less eventfull finish and hoping the prices came in as quoted

@Dav963 3 года назад

Getting addicted to this build! Can't wait to see more!

@LAP1050 3 года назад

Hey guys, the shell looks great, you’re on your way. By the way, that Pelican out there in the yard would go great on top of the mog’s cab🤪

@TheOutFit 3 года назад

Ahaha alright we'll see what we can do 🤣

@missiontrekkers 3 года назад

Got some tips. Great video. Can’t wait to see the rest legends

@andreandrews571 3 года назад

An easy way to feed the wire is to tie a nut on the end and use a magnet to pull it along

@TheOutFit 3 года назад

Great idea!

@heartobefelt 3 года назад

another one is to use mig torch liner if you have an old one laying around . they are like a long spring , but your magnet idea is good and the one higher up of using cotton balls on cotton with a vacuum to pull it through . (except the teddy bears hate it when their cotton balls are used)

@rhyswilliams695 3 года назад

Box looks great. Glad to see some progress.

@duncanjames914 3 года назад

Re: the fan wires... What about adding a small flush-mounted access panel in the ceiling directly beside the fan (i.e a switch cover or similar). You can add a couple of loops of wire there plus you can always access it if you ever need to replace the fan. Good luck!

@josephstevens3357 3 года назад

Well done!! Coming along very nicely! Just very frustrating dealing with some suppliers! But keep looking towards the end goal.

@braquemathson1991 3 года назад

Blow string through the hole with compressed air. Then tie the string to wire and pull them back through.

@posko76 3 года назад

Next time you need to feed cable, put a steel nut taped on the end of the cable and and use a magnet to guide the nut in the direction you need the cable to go. This is similar to the technique used on bikes with internal cable routing.

@lostintheright_direction 3 года назад

With the cable through the ducting, tie a small washer to a string and get a string magnet to pull it through.

@awesomedave8484 3 года назад

That would have to be a pretty strong and rare earth magnet. A vacuum would be best.

@JonathanBaileyn2u 2 года назад

Epic build!

@Tanks-Link 3 года назад

hello from Las Vegas, i’ve helped build out a couple box type rigs and you are correct glass is expensive so what we did is went to a wrecking yard RVs and pulled the windows out of some high-end motorhomes for super cheap and then used them. PS, if the built-in conduit channels match up just go to where are you going to put there switch and then at the top you can take a string and tie it to a piece of toilet paper or napkin or something and then you take a vacuum at the other end will you want to come out and vacuum a string through the channel and then use it to pull the wire through so you don’t have to cut any unnecessary holes to get the wiring through I hope you get this before you cut something apart.

@barrywatler7482 3 года назад

First meal in the new home looking really good, lots still to do but well worth it in the long run. Stay safe cheers.

@victorsvanventures6753 3 года назад

Hi guys, oft, stressful times! We're really excited to see the box on your mog, makes us very excited for ours 😁 I'm sure you'll get a flood of questions.... but what caused the delays? Also, could you share the dimensions of your box? Keep on pushing on 💪💪

@JonathanBaileyn2u 2 года назад

I know you’ve achieved this already… but for others watching … what about attaching a metal collar and using a magnet on the outside to pull it along?? Just thinking too before I finish the video 🤗

@williambolte5699 3 года назад

Glad to see a new video...seems like it has been a long time since your last one!

@harveymccauley9076 3 года назад

open up the other end where your going to put the switch...put a vacuum on the conduit and suck in some string...tie string to the wire and pull it through...

@jeffadams7134 3 года назад

Hey guys. GREAT JOB!. If you don't run a BEAD of caulking around the windows on the outside; the rubber seal will start deteriorating. ( from a yacht refitter).

@heartobefelt 3 года назад

yeah maybe in 15 years the rubber seal will be a bit stodgy but by then they will have their electric Ferrari Camper on the road ~

@Tyeriver1 3 года назад

Hang in there! You 2 got this! If you r ever in the states. Meaning NYC i would love to take you out for dinner.

@stewartgregory4870 3 года назад

Well Chris didn't seem overly peeved to me - I was expecting more fireworks. Just a thought for roof access... have you thought about a fixed ladder incorporated into a roof rack over the cab? Roof access is important to enable cleaning of solar panels etc.

@TheOutFit 3 года назад

We would love to do that! Great minds think alike :)

@evandropiai6514 3 года назад

Well done!! It will be awesome!!

@anthonyferguson7283 3 года назад

Great work chin up will be great when it’s finished

@BLUEBARRY55 3 года назад

Great camera work. You seem to intuitively know the audience perspective.

@spudboy1328 3 года назад

You're going to need to 'goop' things together, for bonding and for waterproofing. Get yourself some Soudal T-Rex. It's like SikaFlex. Glues anything to anything, and it even sets under water. The only thing I've found that it won't glue is HDPE plastic and those sorts of 'greasy' plastics.

@ToyTehShammy 3 года назад

You should paint the frame on the roof fan to make it look a little bit better

@malisalavis2239 3 года назад

Stay Strong 💪😎 Looks super sweet ✌️💙 Quality high guys, love the tuition & following your build 🔨❤️🔥 Big love from Central Coast NSW

@damo8755 3 года назад

Double side tape from Bunnings (the red one) will secure the ceiling fan/hatch into place until you get your wiring situated. then put in permanently with Sikaflex 221..i uses it a lot on my 12 meter school buss conversion ( i am a Carpenter )

@heartobefelt 3 года назад

Sikaflex is not a great adhesive . Soudal T-Rex , Bostik 70-05 , henkell MS939 are three that leave sikaflex in their dust

@bakerfamilyoverland996 3 года назад

Coming together really nice..👍

@Huntersxdrifters 3 года назад

Insane work guys! loved it! can't wait to get a look at this incredible thing! hurry up and pay me a visit! hahaha keep up the good work!

@thedetroiters 3 года назад

Easier way to run those wires down the conduit: Tie a magnet to a string and place into the hole. Then use another magnet to feed the magnet inside all along the way. Once you have the hole drilled in the side, you feed the magnet and string through and hard part done. Tie wire to string and pull back through the opposite way - done!

@brigittefeton383 3 года назад

@nathandave7878 3 года назад

@OOHYEH 3 года назад

Mate use two magnets and fishing line to pull the cables though ...... good job so far 👍👍👍👍👍

@kh1991 3 года назад

Not sure if it was mentioned before but maybe tie a piece of steel to the cable ends and use a magnet to run it along the conduit.

@donrsanders4772 3 года назад

Hey guys. I really love your channel, your honesty and your relationship. You two seem to be a great match and I love your drive and work ethic. I did not see any sealant or caulk going in the side windows to seal them from dust or water. How are they sealed?

@TheOutFit 3 года назад

Thank you very much for following along and for your support! The windows come with a high quality rubber seal on the outer frame that eliminates the need for any sealant.

@MR-dv6ms 3 года назад

You just have to remember why you are doing this, to travel and enjoy the process. I feel the pressure is coming from "the business" part of your build. The stress seems to be coming by the time line pressures of your youtube channel. Just make sure you're doing the build for the right reasons and thats for you two to travel.

@mikezog1030 3 года назад

You may want to come up with a tarpaulin cover for the windows while you travel to avoid them getting scratched.

@kodiak4240 3 года назад

I know the build frustration . Try not to stress and never take it out on each other. Excellent stick to it mate.

@Aussiefish86 3 года назад

Looking bloody great :)

@rudeboy8628 3 года назад

All through the installation of the fan I was asking “ did you check which way it opens” the Chris goes “ oh no !!!”

@TheOutFit 3 года назад

Ahah we had checked several times before so I knew he was joking 😅

@ChrisKakavas 3 года назад

Great show guys, enjoying the build. Question with the windows, you didn't need to cork around the frames when installing?

@TheOutFit 3 года назад

Thanks a lot Chris! The windows come with a high quality rubber seal on the outer frame that eliminates the need for any sealant.

@mdc503 3 года назад

It is apparent Chris is upset. Multiple delays are aggravating but to dwell on them whilst on video...My guess is that you were outright lied to. I read another comment guessing the box was not built to spec. That would push me over the edge. I noticed the clamp in the rear window opening and that had me thinking quality issues. No matter what, you two are powering on and that is positive and motivating. Stay healthy and that vent doesn’t look that bad.

@Jboost413 3 года назад

Looks good keep at it! One question Do you need to seal/silicone around the windows? Or they have a built in seal. Can’t wait for the next one!

@TheOutFit 3 года назад

Thanks a lot Joshua! The windows come with a high quality rubber seal on the outer frame that eliminates the need for any sealant. We'll keep an eye on it!

@AdventureN 3 года назад

I did the white box and white interior makes it more spacious. Will you wrap or paint exterior of the habitat or planning to leave it white?

@TheOutFit 3 года назад

We are still brainstorming the exterior of the habitat but we will definitely paint it or wrap it :)

@lanceroark6386 3 года назад

Use a plastic bag on a thread and vacuum it through the conduit to your switch hole.

@SteveS007 3 года назад

Chris, you're the man. How'd you get so ripped? Also, what do you tell the barber when you get your hair cut? I dig it.

@raymercado3650 Год назад

Is there a video of how the structure was built or its contract out to a builder?

@zulustu8214 3 года назад

Come on Chris you are doing my head in…. Drill the hole where your switch is going to go and feed some fishing wire or strong nylon cotton … get a vacuumed cleaner on one end hey presto it sucks the cotton or fishing wire through to where you need it… then beef up to hoochie cord or something until you have something strong enough to to pull your 12 volt cable

@outdoor_camping_adventures 6 месяцев назад

Is there a video of the box construction?

@BlackcloudCo 3 года назад

about time! How much it cost?

@martysib6547 3 года назад

Great to see you back on the tools Chris. One question - shouldn't the windows be seal on the outside like the vent was??? Looking forward to finding out about the fibre glass box specs. Marty from Perth

@TheOutFit 3 года назад

Hi Marty, the windows come with a high quality rubber seal on the outer frame that eliminates the need for any sealant.

@simonmilburn8336 3 года назад

I would extended it to have put the bed over the mog roof or at least an area for cupboards, but it's slowly coming along

@philhealey449 3 года назад

Remember Mog cab hinges forwards so overhanging means more complication in removing box body.

@victorsvanventures6753 3 года назад

It also means that the total height and expenses of the box goes up.

@heartobefelt 3 года назад

@@victorsvanventures6753 also the unimog chassis flex big time and you would need 250 - 280 mm of space above the cab so it didnt hit the camper box

@peterparkinson7251 2 года назад

Q: How is the insulated "Box" secured to the tray of the Mog?

@ChrisCameronPhoto 3 года назад

3M 5200, Marine sealant. Expensive but the best.

@johncanalese588 3 года назад

That”s good stuff and forms a bond that is just about impossible to remove. I’ve used the 3M 4200 on my boat and it forms a great bond as well but quite not as permanent for the just-in-case moment in the future.

@mrsmith3554 3 года назад

I'm surprised you doesn't need any 5200 or similar around those windows before putting the frame on on boats I do . perhaps you did and I missed it.

@tb-yz1ti 3 года назад

Hi guys I’m just wondering about your exhaust pipe ?. If you get stuck in a deep,deep water crossing and winch yourself back out dosen’t the pipe fill with water, mud, sand, fish ? Then the engine block will fill up. Just thought up behind the cab no fish there ?

@zulustu8214 3 года назад

Looking good … how did you determine where the fan was going to go? Was it dependent on the the size and placement of your solar panels? Cheers and always looking forward to you next stages…. Too bad we didn’t get to the the actual fitting of the floor and the placing of the panels and roof

@TheOutFit 3 года назад

Good question! Yes it's perfectly centered so that we can fit a solar panel on each side. We have also lined it up with the kitchen. Yes we agree, we would have loved to see the process and filmed it too. We'll show very soon regardless how it has been done 👍
