"FIND YOUR FREEDOM"
Years careening up and down the East Coast in a 40 foot Class A diesel pusher with my wife, five kids and four dogs gave me just a taste of what life on the road could be!
After close to forty years of running on the hamster wheel, I'm getting BEHIND the wheel to build and travel in a Class B Sprinter camper van. I have begun building a Class B camper van according to the wants, needs and must haves that I have compiled over years of RVing.
Follow along with me as I set out to find my particular brand of freedom.

HOW TO: New galley construction for your van and a gorgeous handmade teak shower floor
While I believe extruded aluminum to be a fine material choice for building high quality custom vans, I have developed a new way of building the galley module in my vans. And as a bonus "how to" segment, a unique handmade teak shower floor that exudes quality.

"Georgios" work George & Team. Question please sir. You produced a video a few years ago showing how you joined the ceiling T&G boards together using some type of material or tape. I must have watched all of your videos at least 3 times and I cannot for the life of me find that section of video. Could you by chance point me to the right video please? It was a white T&G ceiling in sections held up by white stringers. I just wanted to see what you used to keep those individual boards together while you secured them into place. Thank you in advance and when I finish my DIY Build, I'm going to drive to your town and show you how your influence helped at least one other : )
Well, that is a very nice idea!
where could i find the headliner trim piece?
what about propane for cooking? Especially for meals that take a long time instead of using lithium battery bank.
I think they need yo add a screen skirt to the inside...that would stop the bugs.
What bracket did you use for mounting it to the truck bed?
Deezee
Ok ok… aluminum is the solution Ive been wanting! tell me where to find your videos on how to finish the aluminum structures… how to transform them into cabinets (faces, etc…).
Great video! Have you ever considered using smaller grades of alu extrusion (like 4020 or 2020) for overhead cabinets? 8020 seems like the good choice for most framing, but I think you could save some space and weight when framing smaller pieces. Switching between grades shouldn't be too hard as they all use the same size t-nuts.
I use primarily 10 series for all of my modules. I use 15 series in the bed area where I need a bit more strength. the T nuts are not all the same.
I'm sure it is better but it also is more expensive and there's a lot more waste material, so you're buying a lot of metal that you're gonna be throwing away, so I don't always agree with this 8020 thing
“Better“ usually is more expensive. If you know what you’re doing with 8020 there is very little waste. I’ve shown on my videos that the wasted 8020 after doing 10 vans fits into a milk crate.
These builds look good but the new ones that you put don’t complement where you started
I don’t quite understand what you mean?
I fucking love you George!
Good job as usual George! 👍 I always appreciate your suggestions 👍👏👏👏
My pleasure!
Looking forward to seeing the finished product...but hesitant to see the price considering what the Mini Me costs.
Great video In the process of replacing the original fantastic vents in our RV. Your video clearly demonstrates what needs to be done to have a hassle free fan thanks again
Glad it was helpful!
Nice construction! Makes me really want to CNC my next build. Have you tried making dados for the drawer glides to sit in? It would make the fitment even easier, and permit slightly wider drawers. I've never seen it done, but your galley construction gave me the idea.
Would need to use 3/4" material to accept the drawer glide dado, so not much additional drawer space.
Another excellent video George, thankyou. btw, just curious, what part of Italy are your folk from? Cheers
Naples
@@HumbleRoad Thanks, wonderful heritage. Cheers from Australia
This is amazing! Where can I find the water heater and reservoir to purchase?
Rixen
You don't need to push volts and amps into it. You create a potential difference and the electrons will flow just fine without any pushing hehe
Very nice
George I love your videos but I’m begging you to tell your guys not to wear gloves while using the drill press
I've always wondered about weight. A lot of the DIYers load them up with ceramic tile, grout, natural slab counters, hardwood floors and cabinetry. It's just inconceivable that those choices don't matter. Even if the structure can take it, what about mpg?
Hi, the regulator with the heat sink, will it run 2 fans or would I need to by one for each.
ONE FOR EACH.
Do these mini vans come with an RVIA sticker? Edit add: The reason I ask is because some resorts don't allow you to "sleep in your car". You have to have an RV or a tent. RV must have an RVIA sticker.
No RVIA sticker. And I would argue that point. I follow ABYC standards which exceed RVIA standards. We all know how $hitty manufactured RVs are.
@@HumbleRoad We are members of Thousand Trails. They require RVIA sticker and will "write you up" if they catch you sleeping in your vehicle.
for the galley, do you make/install a toe kick?
Yes, for some builds we install a toe kick, others we don't.

Really looking forward to seeing the final finished production design on the Maxi-Me's. Thanks George...
You and your crew are artists!!! Truly amazing work! So impressive! And you're not just an artist, but a comedian! I love your sense of humor! Thanks for such wonderful videos!
Thank you so much!
I love your videos, humor, lessons, always learning new ways to improve your product, and, of course, the stunning Vans!
The shower teak mat is a work of art! You forgot to mention you use stainless steel screws. Of course! What a beauty. Nice to see a wood framed cabinet but still with the aluminum profile edging. Looks lovely and less pricey than all that 80/20. A big advantage is time savings with the CNC cut sections. Now that you have a regular crew, it is easier to cut that out in wood, err... I meant Spanish plywood, sheesh! Nothing but the best. I loved the tip about the rounded out scoop holes. Just like airplane windows, wow!! Now I get why they are always rounded. Awesome work, George!! You are simply THE BEST!!! Sending you good thoughts from CA.🤩🤩🤩
wow!
Beautiful work! I’m surprised the shower pan insert isn’t CNC machined as well. Very time consuming with all the small hand cut and assembled pieces.
The teak hardwood would have to be glued together in strips of whatever width you choose. Then when you start cutting in those ovalized drain holes, you will not be able to line them up with the glue lines and it would look like a mess.
I was wondering when the cost and time of 80/20 would, from a businesses sense, persuade the transition to ply. Nothing wrong with it....just makes sense. However, when you transition to 1by and lauan...your transition to the dark side will be complete.
THATS A great design George, I like it 👍
Just curious, George, why not do the teak glue-up and then put on the CNC to cut the slots? Doesn't matter but seems like it would be faster. Love your work and love how you explain what you're doing and why along the way.
The teak hardwood would need to be glued together in strips of whatever with you choose. At that point, it would be nearly impossible to have all your drain hole cutouts perfectly lined up with those glue seams.
Hair cut George
George, you and your team continue to make amazing cabinets and simple designs that will last a lifetime.
Thank you😊😊
They can be out of square. The added strength of the joint is usually more a benefit when used for shelving units. Instead of a few nails the entire width of the shelf is sitting on the edge of the groove. Glue and finishing nails are normally used as well.
What about laying up all the strips of teak like you were making a cutting board an putting it on the CNC to cut the slots, then while it is doing its cutting you can be working on another part of the build. You could use a large diameter router bit to just cut a straight line slot the width required or used a very small diameter bit and cut the perimeter of the slot and have a small waste piece in the center. I know teak is expensive and using the forstner bit wastes less wood, but it is also very time consuming to stand at the drill press and make all those tiny piece, as we all know time is money.
We considered that approach. But due to the inconsistencies in the teak, you could not perfectly aline all those slot holes along and within the glue lines.
Thanks George for sharing. That was an abrupt end :) Like 329
Yes it was. It was 12:30am when I finished and I forgot to add my closing frame!
Can you build something similar but a little taller. I am 6-4 and currently in a high roof sprinter empty shell. Thanks
Yes we can
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this
Stunning work as usual, Thank you Mr George I enjoyed that😉
Glad you enjoyed it
Poor bunny rabbits, sacrificed for the ultimate strength of the galley wood….
No rabbits were harmed in the development of this new galley module.
OK, planned obsolescence which exceeds the life expectancy of the van itself. Perfect design explanation..
@@HumbleRoad Thank you for making my day! :- )
