Nice install! I envision a usb rechargeable water pump installed right over the water container on top of that little ledge. That way you don’t have to move it to use it except to refill. Kudos! Safe travels!
Esther, I cant begin to explain how much this comment means to me! I've been going through a creative rut and it's connections like this that move me to want to create more. Stay tuned...
nice the best sitting bench I seen had a drawer that pulled out the back about 4 foot long with cooler looking fridge underneath that was accessible from the inside or the outside and at the very end between the big drawers runners had a shelf on runners that pulled out of it with a hole cut out for a collapsible sink so the stove went on top refrigerator directly under and you could pull that shelf out at the very end even further to wash dishes had a cooktop you could move around so if it was raining you could cook inside it's pretty amazing how ingenious people are in their builds your build is very nice as well have a great day
I’m so happy I came across your channel. I hope someday to make videos that capture happy moments. Not for the views or subscribers. Just for capturing memories.
Thank you for the kind words <3 yes, there's been a shift for me-- deciding to make these so that I (and my loved ones) can remember these times. Maybe not many will see my work, but I'll always have it to look back on
I'm a little over 5'11", with the cage i wouldn't be able to lay down all the way. But with the fold down bed and the passenger seat pushed up I fit easily
Hi! Great movie! Very helpful because my plan is to buy a Ford transit connect and convert it into a camper van and then go on the road 😄 Id like to ask you some questions. Could I dm you somewhere? Thanks :)
okay this is a great question, and I'm trying to remember what I did. I think we maybe measured where some of the screw holes were and then drilled through to them? I also remember that the roof is mostly held up by a little lip I put along the walls. That's what's doing most of the lifting
thinking about building one of these out, do you have a gas hob and do you think it would be easy to do a full bulkhead wall without the bend for the seat? I'd probably do a sliding pocket door and do you have hanging clothes space? Like the idea of using the back door's dead space for hammocks, jumpers, etc. Do you have any current updates on the van or footage from your roadtrip?
I do have a little portable 2 burner stove, although i mostly use a single burner that attaches to a can of propane. I'm 5'11" and my front seat leans back pretty far into the back. Plus, as you can see i have to push the passenger seat up to lay out my whole bed. I don't think this car is big enough to have a wall separating the cab and the back. Hanging clothes would be tough too. I just got done living in it for 2.5 months again. It's pretty darn small. Great for when you're on the move but being in one place was hard
jesserosenstein do the driver and passenger seats move forward though? I’m 5’1”. So maybe it a wall would work? Do you wish that you had more room if you lived in it full time?
@@Anna-io5fs they do move forward quite a bit, and maybe at your height, they will be forward enough for a wall. A bit more space would be great. Also, some heating since i live in alaska :)
jesserosenstein that’s good to know! Thanks! How’s it in Alaska? I thought most have a bigger van for snowy weather but is it easier to drive in snow with all weather tires and wheel chains?
@@Anna-io5fs Alaska is wonderful! Most do have bigger cars, or something with 4WD, but honestly with studded winter tires my car does just fine. It helps that I live in the city as well
@@jrose987 I was checking my sanity thinking I could use one as a camper or to pull a teardrop trailer and it seemed like the low liftover made it good for dogs.
Where did you track down your roof leak to? I've had one off and on for a few years and I can never seem to pin point it. Fellow MD Native here and my little 2012 has been up to Acadia, Badlands, Zion, Grand Canyon and more. Got to love a little pregnant roller skate. Your conversion looks awesome.
Hey! wow your van has seen some great places. the leak was coming in through the back tail light on the roof, if i remember correctly the seal was kinda worn down
