I built out this van for the main purpose of hauling my outdoor gear including bikes, kayak, paddle boards, and my paramotor.

Id mount a black Bose Wave radio underneath the cabinet above the sink. It would give you a nice clean look and sound for the rear of the van.

Nice job! Great counter space; makes sense to not build in the cooktop, and I plan the same. I like when you said you can fill up water at the dog park. One thing I have never heard mentioned by vanlifers is filling jugs at a cemetery. When I moved across country we sometimes stopped at a cemetery to fill water bottles for the dogs. 🐶❤️
@IanMastenbrook94
@IanMastenbrook94 4 года назад
Never heard the cemetery trick. Usually have no problem finding some sort of water source. Even have a filter for if I want to fill up at a creek or river

Have you ever considered using a tall skinny plastic trash can and have it pull out instead of a door? Also what about a custom spice/shelf rollout to the left of the sink area, would fix the problem of door opening and get more use for the depth. Try a Velcro cover for the step area. Just cut a pice of thin material (Balsa Wood ) attach the Velcro to the back and then you can easily remove when needed. Different kinds of Velcro for easy removal type. Try using some 3M hooks for areas where you need to hang things-can remove easily too. I’ve been an Interior Designer for 40+ years and love your home. Thanks for sharing! 👏

I just happened upon your channel and just saw you are a Paramotor Pilot. I just got a sprinter I'm going to try to convert. One thing I'm worried about is gas smell so I'm going to try to separate the "garage" from the camping area with a wall. Nice videos!
@IanMastenbrook94
@IanMastenbrook94 3 года назад
I kept my van well ventilated and never really had much gas smell. But having a sealed off garage would be pretty nice

This is nearly exactly how I'm planning to build my future van. Really the only different thing I have in mind is to put a shower where you have the wardrobe and make it do double duty. What length wheelbase do you have?
@IanMastenbrook94
@IanMastenbrook94 3 года назад
It's a 159. Yeah I considered that option of putting a shower in. Really like the outdoor option though

Hi could you show us how you have converted you gas shower to take small gas bottles as all IV seen is the big bottles connected to them
@IanMastenbrook94
@IanMastenbrook94 4 года назад
You can buy an adapter on Amazon or eBay to simple use the small bottles. Just make sure you unscrew the green tanks AT THE ADAPTER not at the shower. Otherwise you'll spew propane everywhere

Thanks for showing your beautiful van! Most people put their bike on a slide out drawer, you didn't? does that work ok? Let's say you didn't have the paramoter and would be biking almost daily would you still choose this setup or would you go with a slide out drawer?

Love your Promaster. I have the same 2019 and love it. Same build out. I dont have the ladder. What brand and where did you get it? I will be putting on solar soon. Have 2 200 amp batterys. And AC installed on the roof. I live in FL were ac is necessary. Thanks for your sharing.
@IanMastenbrook94
@IanMastenbrook94 4 года назад
Thanks. It's a stainless Surco ladder from Amazon. It's held up well over the year. Here in the summer it gets a little hot but parking in the shade is a big help.
@shaunmf
@shaunmf 4 года назад
Awesome build. I really like design. What are your thoughts on switching the closet to connect on the bed side and have the fridge up front. That way both driver and passenger could swivel to open up the space.
@shaunmf
@shaunmf 4 года назад
Also curious what material your walls are made out of? Cheers.
@IanMastenbrook94
@IanMastenbrook94 4 года назад
I'm pretty happy not having swivel seats. Once in awhile I'll read a book up in the front seats but I rarely go up there until it's time to drive. It's definitely doable to switch around the layout but this has worked well for me personally. The walls are a 1/4 plywood and I used cedar fence boards for the kitchen walls. All very lightweight since I didn't want to weigh it down too much

@jannezack
@jannezack 4 года назад
So can you tell me the dimension of the cargo area from the step down (cockpit area) to the spot in the back that goes sort of diagonal (where the back lights are housed)? I can’t seem to find that dimension anywhere. Also how far from the back doors are the wheel wells, how y’all are they and how wide are the wheel wells. I can get the distance between them, but no one tells you where they are located front to back or how wide each is.
@IanMastenbrook94
@IanMastenbrook94 4 года назад
Diagonally you'd be just over 12ft of space. Are you talking about my wheel well boxes I built?
@danielfunk1979
@danielfunk1979 4 года назад
