During the 80's and 90's, I went camping with my family and kids using a Coleman Cooler just like that one. It served us well. Nice to see it again. All our food was in that one precious cooler! Fresh Ice daily. Love the live edge wood slab shelves. Heavy, but they look so lovely. The simple cabinet with desk is so functional and has a clean design. The bed looks very spacious and comfy. Note that if you don't put holes in that wood slab, the mattress will get moldy fast. There has to be air ventilation around the mattress from underneath, especially dense foam pieces. There are workarounds. This is an ingenious build! Thanks for the tour. Note to camera man: We want to see inside the cabinets. A common mistake is to focus on speaker. While he is speaking, your camera should be showing details of the build, inside cabinets, hinges, how things are assembled, etc. Show the VAN not so much of the MAN. 😊

Well said...but... I have just today watched a no build weekend car camping video with captions only and all the focus was on the build. I say show the van and the man. And no longer than twenty minutes unless the content is engaging. I must declare I have watched long asmr videos some for three hours. Silence is golden. But then speech is sliver.

Look at all of my little baby Honda Elements. I get so very excited to see these babies. They were made as a recreational vehicle. They had tents that were specifically designed for the side doors. Oh, and I love my Promaster 2500 also. I don't want him to feel jealous

I worked for a counter top company that built and installed countertops for IKEA in Chicagoland (two stores here). The cabinet installers for IKEA did good work. The homeowners that tried to install their own, not so much usually. This guys Element looks great, I’m sure his cabinet installs are awesome too. Cheers from Chicago!

I own an element, original owner 2008, always wanted to do this. But before I knew it I was busy with college, then with the wife and now it’s the kids. Missed my chance to make my element a little camper, very amazed it’s become such a community of people.

I’ll recommend OEM bushing for the arm
@taterhamster
Жыл бұрын
In most cases replacing parts with OEM is best as far as quality, but they generally cost you a pretty penny too. If you want non-OEM to replace the entire control arm, I replaced mine with Mevotech 601017/601018 (listed as "Supreme" on RockAuto). I replaced my ball joints with Mevotech 60502 (also "Supreme"). No issues with either so far, 6 months later. I see Mevotech recommended pretty often on Element pages for non-OEM suspension parts.
