Today I am repairing some old water damage and making some changes and upgrades while I’m at it. I’ll be swapping out some plywood braces with some metal angle. And I’m upgrading my water storage tank with a new design from Reliance. Repairs while traveling are always a little more difficult. But this repair went well.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

Thank you for not swearing my 70 year old Machinist ears have never heard any swearing lmao.😂

@susie4517 Год назад

You are very skilled. It is nice to watch you work in repairs. You know so many things. It's impressive. 😊❤

@cotter9751 Год назад

I do like these videos precisely to understand how someone else does a maintenance or repair task in the van. Almost always I learn new techniques or tools that might be useful. Love it!

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

Thanks Otter

@glenchilada 11 месяцев назад

I love the way you do stuff in your van. The internet has just made people think they need to chime in on everything they see.

@jeffersonspace Год назад

Looks like a simple, and effective remedy to the situation. It being cheap means you get a gold star, and purple jelly bean! Love your videos.

@barbaragamache2751 Год назад

Do what works for you, just ignore all the others

@violetatcontentboutique7188 Год назад

How cool to have running water in a mini van, Scott! That's something you don't see often. I Love it !! 😺💜

@rosemarie20 Год назад

"Cheap as chips", good one; never heard that expression before now. Enjoyed the video, as usual.

@exoticbeautyblisssimpson8430 Год назад

The fact that the job is done is a clear indication you’ve done it right. 👍🏼

@vancolo1972 6 месяцев назад

I really love how you end your vlogs with the nature scenes and sounds. It keeps me watching to the very end. I sometimes sit back, close my eyes and just listen. Very relaxing!

@bensavage6389 Год назад

The noise of the power tools was worse than any potential swearing. But thank you for your good bedside manner;, always appreciate your van upgrade updates. Hope you're able to keep cool in this very very hot weather while drinking your very very hot coffee.

@Lonewolfwilly67 Год назад

Just an idea I wanted to share with you, can you use the left over angle iron to make a 45 degree brace from rear support to front of sink and still have room to pull out water container? Then you would have the support you desired when leaning on sink to get in and out. Just a thought.😉 Thanks for sharing. I also agree with you, what works for you is best for you.😂 I like simple.

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

I actually used the other half of the metal angle for the second support leg.

@mikehocutt7026 Год назад

I really like the way you have your home set up. It looks comfy in there. Also I watched a video where there were some kids outside your van and you flipped on your scare lights. I thought that was awesome as well to have those mounted like that.

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

In that particular situation, the lights didn’t scare anyone. It only made the kids more curious! Haha

Not all super hero's wear capes!!! The really good ones wear stealthy black street clothes and Sharp glasses!!! Thanks static man!!! We love you!!! 🥀🤗🥀

@alchristensen8121 Год назад

I think one thing vehicle dwellers learn - or need to learn - is that they will probably change their "perfect" setup several times. I just finished another revision on mine - about the fourth time in ten years. I envy your circular saw and angle grinder.

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

If not for a leaky five gallon bucket, this wouldn’t need doing

@CDubsJourney Год назад

Hi Scott, nice upgrade! My brother used angle iron on some things in my van. I believe you'll like it. Have a wonderful today. ✌️💛🙂

@sherry9968 Год назад

Weirdly I like these build vlogs the best. I have rewatched your initial build videos multiple times!

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

Cool. Thanks!

@sherried79 Год назад

I think you come up with great ideas so don't sell yourself short! I really like the T setup with the sprayer. First time I've seen that. Great idea! Happy trails!

Looks good and seems to work fine. I like seeing you figure out how to fix things,

@cw9435 Год назад

I think your set up is a nice set up.if it works you go with it you seem to know your stuff you improvised you overcame and adapt.nice job Scott i enjoy your videos very relaxing watching you and your a good story teller keep up the good work😊

@eliseninesling6913 Год назад

Thanks for sharing Scott. I find your DIY skills very impressive- as well as educational. Followed by the best reward- well brewed coffee. Hope you had a delicious dinner while enjoying the beautiful scenery shown at the end. I hope you get some well deserved rest and take care.

@lindabohl2454 Год назад

I see nothing wrong with the way you do things and showing it. The correct way is what works for you.

@jeanieirwin4747 Год назад

Hi scott. I can identify with the disappointment of having to face repaits. Butt if you have the right tools and figure out what you have to do it may be difficult but not impossible. Every time i go in Ace.. im sure their thinking....its that woman again whose always fixing something. As they say necessity is the mother of invention. You did ag fine job. It should last a long time in static van dwelling years.❤

@vandafedyszyn4612 Год назад

You know Scott who cares !!!! If it works for you and I have to say I think you have done a great job that works for you , I was told years ago I was a people pleaser always wondering what other people thought please don’t go down that road do what suits you my friend take care ❤❤❤ you have done a great job I love your home ❤

@nancycain4434 Год назад

It looks good to me. I think you did a good job. I have that same exact 7-gallon jug. I really like mine. Safe travels. Oh and by the way after watching this I had to go get a cup of coffee. LOL

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

☕️

@susanmay3914 6 месяцев назад

I think you're super brave the way you share how you do things. It really does help the rest of us gain a little confidence to just try things. Hopefully you don't take any negative comments to heart. I was putting together a little custom counter for my minivan while listening to several of your videos tonight. I always enjoy just hearing your voice.

@lindatambini9123 11 месяцев назад

Well done Scott you done a great job there ❤ xx

@euniceduncan899 Год назад

I need to learn those plumbing hacks myself.

@stephen627 Год назад

A job well done. If you want it done right, you gotta do it yourself….and then have a cup of coffee.

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

Or two cups

@jw3843 Год назад

Whatever works, works. I have never been big on what it ends up looking like as long as it does the job. Of course, I try to make it not look horrible, but doing things like soldering copper pipes together, as long as it is not leaking it is good. I do not try to compare my soldering jobs to the factory ones.

@Regi869 Год назад

Like the upgrade videos. Would love to see more. ✌

@SabrinaDawn444 Год назад

Great video 😊 I like seeing another vanlifer(I'm part-time right now) value the importance of a sink. I recently installed a sink in my Sienna minivan. I find it to be an absolute game changer.

@louisetrujillo5192 Год назад

Good job Scott...btw you are still hilarious and funny...an entertainer!! Thank you for that..😂

@carolynhale8091 Год назад

You did a fine job in my view. Works great! And coffee makes everything better!

@ingridqmanning5763 Год назад

If it works for you that's the most important thing. Ignore negative things people will say. Continue doing you and I (Ingrid from Barbados) will continue to watch your videos. Be safe out there. 👍👍

@junknapper Год назад

Living improvements/repairs are my favorite videos. WTG!

@lesley9888 Год назад

i like these kind of videos you do it your way works just fine

@fallenstar23 Год назад

Fact: Every home (or van) improvement project will take from 2 to 10 times as long as the estimate. I love making up my own repair procedures, even if they are not “correct”. MacGyver is my hero.

@TravelingTroy Год назад

I too like to see how others handle issues with their vans. My Dad and I just finished the electrical in my truck and expect to finish the sink plumbing today. I use the 7 gal “square” bottles, but have seen those new Reliants. Hope it works out well for you. I had a hand pump in the van and this build I’m going with a foot pump. Should be interesting. 👍

@ceceliabest7870 Год назад

You shouldn't worry if it works for you. Good job..

@timfarness9949 Год назад

Thank you Scott, I think you make good use of what you have. I like your van kitchen setup!

@Lisa-16 Год назад

It's nice to have a bit more space for your feet. Im happy for you that it worked out that way. I'm always amazed at how much you can fit in your van! Im trying to figure out better storage options for my van. Great video!😊

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

It’s a bit of a puzzle at first but you’ll get there

@Lisa-16 Год назад

@@StaticCamperVan Yes. Good thing I like puzzles.

@carolynrivera9745 Год назад

👋 Scott I always enjoy your channel... I love the thinking ☕️ You are the one that has to live with whatever you do. No swearing 😊 lol Take care.👋🤣

@KH-gn3xb 10 месяцев назад

Its your home, you do whats best for you, love watching your videos always a nice mix of things and no dreadful music, who cares what people say. Everyone gets grumpy when they are tired and hungry. Enjoy your van life, its probably what lots of people will end up doing as they get priced out of their homes.

@Icepanda88 Год назад

😮 oh no, what happened? Coffee time with you...to see what is going on with your van. 😊 Maybe get some water protection paint on all the wood that is around water. Just a suggestion. Paint color I have seen are gray or black.

@sharonlutz1046 Год назад

Bravo for having the courage for posting this fine DIY video! Before anyone suggests other ways of doing this fine repair I suggest they defer to the fellow that has +- 7 years actually living in his van! For the rest of us it was quite informative. Thanks again!

@blackarmouredbeast1989 Год назад

The idea is a storage box on the flare side body of a cargo van. This is helpful.

@SherryAnnOfTheWest Год назад

Everyone has to do home maintenance!!! You are thorough and do a great job.

I gave up caffeine a year ago, but when I watch your videos, I want it😁

You should really look into getting some protective eyewear when cutting metal. Getting a tiny chunk of sharp metal flung into your eye is not fun!

I think you did a fantastic job it makes sense and it's functional. Everyone always thinks their way is the right way and like you said there really isn't a right or wrong way. It just needs to make sense to you and what needs you have. Can't wait until the next video 💜❤️

Loved your reel . I would not dream of offering strong advice or criticising your repairs how rude. I did smile when you had your procrastinating coffee prior to starting your refurb, just like you do before a haircut. Job well done.

I think you did an excellent job. If it works as planned...then it's the right way. Pay no mind to the naysayers. Thumbs up 👍

Scott this video was very very interesting to watch, ive always wondered what all your plumbing looks like. I live in a van the exact same size as yours. Your vids are very therapeutic tbh thanking you.

Thanks Stephen

@bobcruikshank2010 Год назад

Great job, Scott! Not all of us can be carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and high-end van builders. I wish I had the skills to do your plumbing and solar set up. I would’ve done a van myself instead of buying a travel trailer. 😉

@sheilabartlett6044 Год назад

Hi Scott, I just çame across your videos the other day, you are very thoughtful in your van plans. You also have a very soothing voice, I watch a lot of videos, most are crafting in nature, (some of their voices drive me around the bend) but I do like to see how creative van dwellers are and to see what goes on in a life. You could do podcasts where the person reads a story. When we were looking up into your van, it appeared that your sink has a lip, right away I thought how you could put a removable piece is wood, like a 1X2 just wedged under it, when you felt you needed the extra support and remove it when you wanted the foot room, just a thought. Be safe and continue sharing your creativity with us. Thanks!

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

Hey Thanks. Actually the two legs are doing the job keeping the sink steady.

@janineconn1047 Год назад

Your voice is so calming enjoy your videos

@diggy4963 Год назад

You could add a supporting piece at a 45’ degree coming off the leg and run up to the corner of the sink for even more support. You got that extra piece 😮

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

Used the extra piece as the second leg
