Another great video Foresty! I almost fell off my chair when I saw the title. I was the Red Mt. fire lookout in the summer of 1995. I have lots of pictures from my time there but no video, so was great to see that view again. I was a dirt poor volunteer traveling around the country for the first time, and it was one of the best summers of my life. We rehabbed the lookout that year, new stove, bed, fridge, paint, railings, etc. Glad to see it's still standing. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Reason the inside metal roof of your van is getting wet is not from interior condensation. Look up cold bridging or thermal transfer. I live about 1.5 hours north of Red mountain up by Mt Rainier and I can tell you it happens ~100-150 nights a year here. RV companies have been trying to fight it since forever and I maybe found one that actually has but I'll know in a couple more weeks when I pick it up. All my metal roofs drip soon as it thaws each morning leaving anything under a metal roof almost as wet as if you left it outside. I use tyvek before putting the metal roofs down to help with the drips. The van's I have lived in have done the same as you are describing. I got rid of a shipping container I had here due to that same issue. It became a cold moldy mess. What I'm having build now for my truck is all fiberglass, not a nut, bolt, piece of metal or wood, just glue and foam and fiberglass because of this very issue in these parts...Head south where it's no longer an issue and when you are coming back thru I have a shed with three sets of washers and dryers with a hot tub right outside. I think I can beat Hood River..

The BEST way to minimize condensation is to remove everything from the ceiling and clean it. Then decide how much headroom you can afford to lose. Hopefully a couple of inches and pad it down so you have 3 or 4 inches (or more) total between the sheet metal and your ceiling plywood layer and the rest gets BLOWN IN HIGH R VALUE FOAM. The foam will moisture seal every cubic inch to and including the entire sheet metal, buffering the condensation to where it can't happen. Rather than plywood for the ceiling? Use something like flexible shower wall plastic liner. Rock wool lets the condensation get right to the sheet metal which is working just like an AC evaporator in the winter. Black Mold HEAVEN. That pup deserves better than that! She has no boots in the snow! At least you can do the insulation properly to fix one! Advertise AG powder if you have to pay for it for a few videos!
@KP11520
Жыл бұрын
And if you do use plywood, or any wood, for the ceiling layer, use OIL BASED SPAR POLYURETHANE to seal it. Several coats on all sides and edges. Sand smooth before first coat, 0000 steel wool and tack wipes between coats to make it look like furniture on all the visible surfaces.. Great Winter project in AZ or So Cal. LOL

It's the only way I can get my morning meds down and not taste them, lol. Having a handful of life saving meds every morning isn't so bad, it's just the taste of them that the coffee covers up. Tried just the 8 ounce glass of water to start my day and yes it gives you much more steady energy than coffee, but I can't stomach the taste of the meds I have to take to stay alive so coffee and water in the morning are my choice.

There was no soap dispenser in the laundromat - ?? - so I started walking around looking for a store that sold smallish soap packets…anything suitable. Couldn't find anything of course, so I figured I'd just have to wash with water - better than nothing. It turned out the machine injected soap automatically once it had started…what a concept.

Foresty foresty! :) the first mistake (sorry) you did when building the van, was not putting up a vapor barrier in the ceiling. Anything goes as insulation, but as long as vapor exists inside the living area, you need some kind of plastic or something that stops vapor coming into contact with the metal. If you are planning to keep the van for a while, you could save the winter months, by making a few holes in the ceiling, so that it can vent out. And especially when you have the cubic mini drying up the Chevy, it would take minutes to dry out the vapor, if the air would be able to ciirculate, it would dry out your insulation above your head. Those who are struggling, don't have a vapor barrier, and/or lack enough insulation. There's no magic in this. quite sImple :) On a second note; I hope you took some photos of that scenery from the tower. Any landscape photographer would die for a chance to store a few moments on their memory card. Wow what a view and what a scenery. envy sneaking up here.
