hello everyone! today, despite my usual english video.... i want to film it in japanese it's been a while i speak japanese... i hope i can talk well in japanese... somebody will do the translation, i think... so you can see the subtitle i put on a mic today i ordered this mic over the internet then i pick it up in seattle back then. but i didn't have a chance to use it it's my first time using this mic i think the sound is much clearer now
so, today i'd like to do the van tour which i always wanted to do. i've been getting some requests by my viewers to do it but i never had a chance to do it, so i think today is the day! i will do my best. so, first of all, my car! my car type is a sprinter this is a 2006 model sprinter the make is a mercedes-benz but in the states, it's under the brand as a dodge or freightliner
and now mercedes-benz has a new model but my car's brand is dodge :) i custom made some parts.. these are done by me i dropped by some junk shops and got some parts and put them on my car it's a diesel engine turbo car okay, i'll show you some interior! i didn't have this one by now but from this tour, i got this swivel seat - which you can turn the seat
this allow more space in the car when i have a company, it's very usuful so... this is automatic so you see (bentz logo) here... this was done by me you see some switches here... and this is a backup camera so i can see the back well and this is another one i added from this tour shelf to put some items... and here's the speaker i made curtains for night time.. it's double layers to keep it dark
my kitchen... i use this propane gas it got two burners and the water supply... i used to use the pump style i think it's been like 4-5 years since i changed the pump to this electric style it's now use the electric pump. here's the water tank it sucks water from here to there and used water is drained to the street it's not like i drain the dirty water like washroom water
like the water i use to wash rice and i try not to use soap to wash dishes i use scrubbing brush when i use soap, i limit to a tiny bit i think it's safe for animals to consume it i use the organic soap "ecover" de-gradable i use bio-degradable products and this is my fridge
i showed you guys my fridge before, gas electric propane 12v 3-way ac/lp/dc fridge... this works with 110v electric, lp gas propane, and 12v. this actually froze stuff inside particularly in winter so i turn on and off often now i have natto, beer, and i'm making sauerkraut but the sauerkraut gets sour under the hot california weather, that's why i'm keeping it in the fridge. and here's the lp gas tank i top it off or exchange this periodically
and my sauerkraut is fermenting in a container like this it's a pickled cabbage, simply put i follow the natural recipe possible, i only use salt to make it here is my soda stream, to enjoy soda water i cook simple... with a pan like here... i have two pans i only have these, try to keep it minimal and a rice cooker... i have an electric rice cooker... but but usually i use this pot over the gas and make it there needs some space to pick it up like this, so i don't
use the electric rice cooker which its lid opens like this or has computer inside, here's my seasoning counter and my clothing here.. hanging and i keep my suitcase here so i can access to my clothes anytime easily and this... when i got the car i thought to add this to my car it's called "fan-tastic" - the ceiling fan after opening it, i can get air inside or outside by this switch there are two fans
i can set the thermostat with this one to turn it on and off now i'm moving to my bedroom i have it in my bedroom too this one doesn't have a thermostat i use this one to withdraw the fresh air, then exhaust over there or set it so the both will exhaust the air so many options i have with two fans, very usuful and set this one as the exhaust fan and close this one
and close all the windows then the small window over there will withdraw air into the car it's very nice during the summer very nice to cool down the place and... this is what i made.. i call it "jump seat" it's a seat from the classic mercedez i got from my neighbor then i welded it to the car like this i welded directly to the floor it scatters here
here's the bean sprout i harvested today it's a black lentil sprout i'm making new batches here this is mung bean i make my coffee with this one everyday paper filter here, and the grinder here and.... yeah, i separate the propane for kitchen burner and the friedge and this is the heater
it's very cold in winter so i use this to warm it up and water tank... here and one on top of the shelf and these two are for drinking water i usually collect fountain water so i keep it here and use it as a drinking water and this one i get regular tap water wherever possible
use it for washing the dishes and some garbage bags.. i really don't want to show this but i have some small storage space under here very messy here :p well.... about washroom... so here's the washroom. this is a 2.5 gallon size for the camping car and the bottom part is a tank which is removable and i have to dump it from now today
it's safe to flash in the toilet so i don't have to find a special place to drain. and you see some bottles here... you guess it right, it's for peeing and... i have a vacuum cleaner wifi anntenna... yeah, it's comfy here. very comfy and shoe keeper.. and a tent..
and a sleeping bag here so if i want to camp, i can now i'm editing my video with my computer here the electricity is coming from the solar panel from this tour i have three solar panels on the roof i can make 300 wattage and the huge batteries are hanging down from the floor it charges that batteries
and this is the controller which i can see how much energy i have oh... it's almost full now. 14.1... charging with 2.5 amp and its controller is hid behind the wall mptt controller and and this is the inverter... 1500 w quite huge i don't need that much usually but i sometime use juicer/blender that's why i got a big one and i have my instruments here.. hanging
and this is my bed bedroom is big enough i made it so the ceiling is not too close to the head, to give me some room to relax and sheets here.. this is a foam bed very light so the bedroom area is very light 2x4 wood only foam bed is so light i can lift it with my finger
so it doesn't strain my car here i charge some thing.. charger for camera is here this is the night lamp and a charger for the phone while i'm sleeping and... the gong... i will tape it from the behind later interior light is led i added the dimmer so i can control the brightness at night well... and.... other thing...
what do i have? ah! because the car is moving... so i have to tight them up like these before going on the road otherwise they will be trembling badly and this is noisy so i always have some towels in between to secure and keep them noise free and outside... i recently made a video about my fridge the exhaust of the fridge so this is the window for the exhaust
i cut the body and place it in here so the warm part which is heated up by propane is located outside then it can withdraw the exhaust i made this small window here tooit's very handy the back view is like this... i added these it was "dodge" before and the backup camera up there and a small window up there and... the back side is...
this one, i applied to avoid heat during the summer... i usually don't tour in summer, but this time it's summer, so i applied... it keeps me sleeping well because the inside won't be too hot because of this here's my stands.. for the gongs stands for the gongs are hanging on the wall usually i have 14 gongs but but i travel with 3 gongs because i don't perform with orchestra in this tour
and you see my bed up above and a lot of stuff down here now.. i can put my instruments here pips here, bows heres and some back up oils ... something like that, i keep them here well... can you see? you see the one lid open and there are three solar panels
and the wheel caps... i found a cheap mercedes one i broke two original caps on the road i stepped on something think i stepped on a tire or something then it cracked then the original wheel caps were broken then found a mercedez caps cheaper than the originals so i got 4 sets and changed to mercedez well... and.... anything else?
well... let's sit down music is... i use this my old ipod... there's a thermostat this shows the fridge's temp... it's 32 now i control it with the wireless settings, but but when i see it too cool, then the fridge will froze staff inside and if i see it too high, then i can know maybe i'm out of propane so this is very important and handy to have it here and the blinking here
i set it so it blinks while the car is stopped i made the wiring inside the car by myself, so i set it when the engine stops, it'll blink the reason is, i show it to car thief that the car is on alarm but actually there is no alarm so it's a fake alarm fake one but it works for car theives and... because it's a diesel car, it's a glow plug when i turn it on, the glow will lit
once it's out, then it's ready to go ...yeah, that's what diesel car is. hmm... can i see it? hmmm no... it doesn't work well lately the back camera doesn't work well and it takes time to turn on and... here's a scan gauge i check the fuel consumption if i speed up too much, then it's not cost effective but sometimes even if i speed up, it's still in good fuel consumption...
so i regularly check the number here.. average number... lod...mile/gallon... so i drive these in mind to cut down the fuel cost so i can be cost effective and something like this and a mirror here this is for shaving my beard i always shave while i'm driving with my electric shaver
and this guy... this is very usuful to back up inside the garage ... no, i meant parking... i use this guy a lot and my sunglasses here my memo "to turn off the fridge" here i keep my memos here to remind myself so this one is for.. washing water.. so that i don't forget the blue tank on the bottom is out
and once i put water, then i put this memo back here so, my reminder system here ear cleaning tool here for oral hygiene... i put a level here this is very handy to know if i parked on a flat surface to avoid back pain if there are no flat surface, then i give up, but
if i can search for flat surface, then i try finding it by back and forth you will see a air bubble here... it's very flat now 0.5... or 1... difference.. it's almost flat so i live really comfy here it's quite difficult to find a flat area and...i have a dash board cam here but my sd card is not working well now... i can't use it now i guess i cover it well...?
all the electricity are powered by solar system so the computer is running now if i wanted to go into details, then i have so many things to say like where i put my twist like... i keep my food out if it's not needed to put them in the fridge rice here ... i have seaweed (nori)... kombu (kelp) and bonito... and some coffee...
i try my best to eat organic food while i'm on road trying my best. try to avoid un-natural seasonings and eat well try not to eat ready-to-eat food.. cause it tiring my body since i'm on road for a while this time, it's a 6 months long trip so i maintain my eating habit and take a good care of myself well... i think i covered it good now... the car is running smoothly now...
i had some worries with this car but right now in california, it runs good about the maintenance i check it by myself everyday like when i get some gas.. no, i meant diesel... when i put some diesel, i always check the engine oil level check the serpentine belt and every morning, i check the coolant level
and checking the tires really need to be carefully checked when it comes to travel a long time in america to make sure no trouble on the road i think that's it! hmm... anything else? well... i guess there will be more questions... i think this is it now! translation & english subtitles by yurie hoyoyon
