Racing the Clock Before I Drive to the Arctic

In just a week, I'm heading all the way up to the North Cape for a 10,000km solo road trip! But before hitting the road, there's still a ton of unfinished business🫡 This episode: mounting a 200W solar panel onto the roof box, tinting all the windows (attempt #2 went way better), installing wind deflectors, making thermal window blinds from scratch on a sewing machine (25 hours...), fitting a dash cam, deep cleaning the entire van, and attempting an oil change that never happened because every single filter I ordered was wrong🫠 Also unboxed roughly 30 packages of road trip gear, learned that Autodoc's customer support will gaslight you about their own search results, and discovered that my sewing machine runs terrifyingly fast! 40 build episodes done and 40 days on the road ahead! First vlog drops Wednesday at 6pm! Enjoyed this episode? A like really helps me battle the algorithm! :) Full Van Build Series:    • Off-Grid Adventure Van Build | Fiat Doblo ...   If you're new around here, welcome to Luke's Toolbox! I turned my old Fiat Doblo into the Ultimate Adventure Camper & Mobile Workshop for a Huge Arctic Roadtrip. Happy to have you following along :D #vanbuild #campervan #vanconversion #diy #roadtrip
