One of the best van builds I've ever seen. Usually half way through, I zip to the end to see the results. I watched every second of this video. I can not wait until I build mine!!!
Me too! But I watched it all the way through. These people seem like such a GREAT family. Love the hound dog too. They are such loving dogs too. I have not actually seen a good old hound dog in years. At least that’s what we called them. They are great with kids!
Great work, just don’t forget to be safe and wear proper PPE (hearing protection, safety glasses, etc) when using tools such as a miter saw and table saw.
GF just said to me today that she 'knew' she wasn't going to get to keep her kettle in the van... that slide out guy is perfect. Going to mount the kettle base to that and wire it into 240V and surprise her with it. Awesome idea!
Impressive planning and cabinet making. You've got the right tools too. I'm doing my '98 Windstar mini van with mostly modified commercial cabinets and hardwood floor. The lighting and some plants make the "environment" friendly.
Great video. Great job! I would like to see someone make a sink with the drain near the back so the plumbing, pump, etc could be closer to the wall and allow for more storage under the sink.
Knowing your strengths and weaknesses was very smart. Being able to participate hands on in your build has given you the knowledge of how everything works and how to fix any problems in the future. Kudos to you and your professional builder. You made a great team creating your new home. Nice video.
Really liked this video- many conversion videos can be super abrasive, but this was informative and not in your face at all! Love all aspects of your design, thanks for sharing!
You have done a fantastic job. I appreciate how well thought out your project was built. I also appreciate that you have taken the time to make your van a home that appears to reflect your personal style and personality. Good success in your travels!
First, I love your dog. What a sweetie. Great job with the build out. Looked awesome when it was done. Really love the drawer stove idea. Brilliant. Loved the seating across from each other because I love putting my feet up and it is a nasty habit but I do it in restaurants all the time! Everything looks super and hope you enjoy your travels. Be safe.
I watch these van builds and the transformations are absolutely amazing! Wow, you guys did an awesome job. The dog's bed looks comfortable...where are you guys going to sleep?
This past April of 2020 I bought a Ford Transit 2016 model with mid high roof. It was already equipped with a non slip rubber floor and fiberglass insulation in the walls and ceiling. I worked on it from there. It also has a V6 310 HP twin turbo EcoBoost engine and trailer tow package. Gets great gas mileage too!
Wow. I'm absolutely impressed with the van conversion you did. I'm going to do what you're doing. I'm doing the van life for my own sanity, disabilities and limitations. I love your dog. I love the color palettes you picked for the inside of your van. Everything is so expensive. Rents and mortgages keep going up and up and basic living needs. I'm going to simplify my life as much as possible. I have much respect for you sharing this RU-vid Video.💙💙💙 Everyone can laugh at me frankly I don't care anymore. The van life is the best life for me and my little dog.🌹🌾🌲🌴🍁🌿💐🌷🌻🍃🌺🌳🇺🇸
@@aricadorff6868 I've been wanting to do the van life for a long time now. Now that my children are grown. I can do the van life and travel a little and see some places that I've always wanted to go and see.
@@aricadorff6868 It was good but be honest did it really take this little amount of time? For example did you really get the electrical work all done in one day?? If so how did you achieve such efficiency had you done this before or are you the most organised people on the planet?
Devonian - There would be no reason for us to pretend we did this build any faster than we actually did it. We’re not a van build company - just two friends working together to create a home on wheels. I had to move out of my “normal” (land-based) house so we rented an Airbnb for the van build for exactly one month and that was our deadline to get everything done. As you can see in the video, the electrical was something that was worked on throughout the build (running wires on Day 2, solar on Day 6, outlet boxes and fuses/breaker on Day 7, more electrical work on Day 9, wiring on Day 11, electrical complete on Day 14). Alex is a traveling carpenter who built his van (that he lives in full time). I had never worked with power tools before so it was an awesome crash course / carpentry internship for me. 😊
I used to say the same thing, until I committed myself to build the cabinets for the whole kitchen in my new house. Nobody wanted to teach me and the youtube videos do not cover everything, so I had to learn by trial and error and I think I made a good job. I do not like to spend part of my life recording and editing videos, so there is no documented evidence of what I did. But every time I watch the end result and I am asked for references regarding the carpenter who made the kitchen cabinets, I pat myself in the back. The cost was about 1/3 of custom made cabinets and the quality of the materials about double, no MDF or particle board, only baltic birch plywood and solid Oak frames and doors, High quality, soft closing hinges and drawer slides. However, my wife was not very happy, because it took me very long to have the job completed. At the end, it was worth it, not only for the savings, but for the experience and the lessons learned along the way.
😍O mais bonito d tudo é o casal tralhando unido e contente! 👏Ficou sensacional! E ficaria perfeito c tivesse um banheiro. 😉 Ter um motor home é o meu sonho! 🤗
Excellent ! Two people with skills ; Average height & working together . I would like to get a Transit 250, 148" WB, AWD, but might have to get the High Top ( 6' 5 " ). The Bed would be too Long - Bench that would slide-out - two pads. I really like the separating the front; great for weather extremes/privacy. Such detailed work. I think that this is a great build. I would have to get the Extended Model for a Queen Bed Garage. I lack the Skills & Shop Area. Thanks and have some Safe & Happy Traveling.
Wow! Looks absolutely amazing... I'm thinking of getting a Transit...I'm just over ever increasing rent and want to live more mobile and free...thanks for sharing, what a beautiful result...great work...
This is the most beautiful build I've ever seen! I could feel the love that went into it❤ its freakin' amazing🎉 you make it look easy. I am almost 62, a traveling nurse & desperately wanting to do the van life. I'm over do a sabbatical 😂. My best to you❤P.S. I'm so in love with your sweet 🐕 ❤
