Any concerns about the relatively few and small mounting bolts vs the tank full of water when you hit a pothole and generate a 2+ G load? 20 gal @ 2G is 352 lbs.

As always, I love and am eager to see what you are doing with your van. Last year I installed a grey tank and went to efforts to protect the bottom from being impacted by debris. I also needed to do this because I made a ‘cage’ to hang the tank vs straps and the protection took up the space on the tank where it is higher. Anyway, wondered if you felt any protection is needed?

Seems like that solenoid is fairly levered and heavy. Do you have anything to support it (e.g. metal strapping of some sort attached to the van frame)?

Hey when you replace the door panel is the plastic door panel trim now touching the speaker? Mine is, I might have to cut it down

Love your videos! 4 year subscriber- I have almost the same setup on our van. One thing I would highly recommend with these electric valves is to seal the horizontal case seam with waterproof sealant. They take a lot of abuse down there and I have had some fail. Once I sealed them it stopped. I also put sealant in and around where the wires enter the case.

I've been here since the beginning and consider your channel one of the best camper builds. Hope to get my Sprinter some day. Thanks for the step-by-step videos!

Great job.Who makes the tank?

Tidy style without over-emphasizing irrelevances, thank you.

It would be perfect if the structure of the drawer board could be changed.

OG Ed here. Beautiful installation, and documentation! If you find your flow is restricted by the 90 bend below the van floor, flexible PVC will likely make the bend without kinking. Also, if you decide you want to leave the dump open for long periods, Solid makes a valve that remains open or closed in a de-energized state.

Very useful upgrade. Following you for close to 6 years.bought my sprinter 4 years ago, and slowly building it. Thanks for tips and tricks and great tutorial videos over the years. But mainly, thank you for the inspiration! Cheers!

You could have also replaced the fuel tank strap bolt with a stud and nut. It would have been a lot easier to assemble. Thanks for all the great videos, I’ve been watching for years.

Not OG, but following along for ~4 years or so. Your build quality is so impeccable every step of the way and it's something I strive to get close to in my own build, so it was validating to see the same valve I purchased a while ago show up in this video. =) Now I just need to put it in...Your presentation style is also comforting to watch. Keep it up, thanks for all the videos so far.

Hey Ken, great to see ya👍

Great to see another video!

Ken, great to see your still improving your van. Another of many excellent van build videos.

Also, the quiet giggling was quite cute.

Excellent information and video production Ken, well done and we fellow DIY builders thank you.

Nice work, looks really clean and professional. For the unused hole, I attached a spigot in case of the seloid valve failure.

Welcome back Ken

Still love the look of your van.

Van still looks amazing after 8 years. Next week I'm moving my gray tank from inside to under the passenger side. I'm cheating a bit and using a tank from nwconversions that includes the straps for my Transit.

Kennys back!!

Fancy solenoid drain! Well done!

One assumes you didn't just start drilling through your floor from above, but rather, picked a spot underneath and first drilled a pilot hole upward, to use as a guide for the larger hole coming down?

Finally getting better angle shots after eight years heh....😂 van looks terrific 👌

OG here. 2017 Transit. And that was really cool. Thanks Ken!

Nice job, Ken! I love the electronic solenoid dump. Genius.

I've been here for the whole ride! I was always impressed with the quality you've engineered into your "Getaway Machine"... I'm looking forward to more content in the future!!! All the best, M-

OG subscriber Ken! It's always a pleasure to watch your thoughtful, detailed build videos! 😊

Been here since the beginning. Started my van build during Covid. Really appreciate all the great ideas and meticulous documentation. And, you were right. Few of us really need or use 4wd. The new locking differentials available will get most anywhere they want to go over stock. Stock RWD is all most need. How’s the plastic dip or application you put on the wheels holding up?

might try to replace 90 with 2*45 later on

I was building my 2017 Transit about the same time you started showing your build. As much as I wanted to use this new fangled (to me) 80/20 in my build - I ended up not using a single foot of the stuff to construct my interior. (I've sleep in mine over the years a total of 25 months over 75k miles-:) BTW - still tweaking it a bit after each trip...

8 years! time has flown!

what a great fit. my galley is on the other side. do you know if this will have the same fit passenger side? btw, what bug screen did you end up using and why?

Perfectly done and great video! I did exactly the same thing, but haven't taken the time to figure out a good hose hook up that drains nicely and is easy to couple. Some campsites want to see an actual drain line to the dump. Any good advice?

Thank you for this video! Tackling this will be so much easier now 😊

Really great content my friend. Thank you so much!

No gray water tank level guage? Nice install.

8 years? No way

Wow thanks for the video! We will try this set up!

Hi, do you have recommendation for detailling black plastic trims ? the black liquid polish that i specified earlier does not last long

Love the videos! Have you made a video which features the slide out drawer on the right which turns into a table? Looks tricky!

What did you use to fix the upholstered panes to the walls?

Terrific work Ken! Beautiful family you've got.

Thanks for sharing, very interesting.😊

What is the countertop laminate material?

thanks a looot!!!

Excellent method to cover up those complex areas!!! Thanks!
