Can’t believe how well this is laid out in that tiny van. Well done! Particularly appreciated how easily accessible all the electrical components are. That hinged board the fuse panel is on, that’s brilliant.

@californiagirl5702 2 года назад

Josh, everything you have done in this van build is so meticulous so well thought out. I was so impressed about all the extra drawers you managed to add because of "dead space ". WOW I was also wondering where the bed was going to be but I'm sure you had that figured out. I love the rollers shade between the cab and the back and the roller shades on the window. You really amaze me with how you thought out the access to the storage inside and outside the van and those wires are si neatly installed. You get a GOLD STAR from me. I love to see designs of vans and campers and have seen alot of them. I must say you are the best and so meticulous. Great job Josh.

@danmorocco 3 года назад

I have no idea what your background is/was but I've never seen a "cleaner" well-thought-out build like this on RU-vid. The use of every conceivable nook and cranny not to mention how esthetically appealing your use of materials and textures is mind-boggling! Great job, Man! If I ever want a van build you are my go-to guy. What were the countertops made with? A really beautiful job!

@piplup10203854 3 года назад

Full slide out draws are like the most satisfying thing about van conversions and campers for me like I’m not sure why but I absolutely love that idea. Being able to access it if I’m outside and the hinge idea so if you’re inside you can still get to it is just nice. I wasn’t sure what to expect in all honesty and it was exceedingly well above what I did expect. This is super super nice. Makes me wish I had a van to convert lol 😂

@ruthanderson1758 3 года назад

That sliding door to hide the water tank(s) is an awesome idea. Suggestion on use of space - for the little box on the wall that houses the door slide mechanism - you could have built narrow shelves from the top of the box up to the ceiling - extra storage and would look better than the little box just sticking out of the wall. Overall, great job.

@ErnieMayberry 3 года назад

Agree. Some may think that $13 is not a big deal. But the company is responsible for putting out erroneous design data. Any company that is interested in repeat business should readily and happily correct the error and absorb the cost. I will certainly steer clear of their products. See they are already losing business over $13! Short sighted.

This is the absolute best minivan conversion I have ever seen!!! I would have reversed the hinge on the box with the sleeping bag so you can tilt the head of the bed to a sitting up lounge position.

Generally, I double the wattage power rating of the microwave to determine inverter size. 700w, use about a 1500 watt continuous inverter. 1000w, use a 2000 watt continuous inverter. Etc. Peak surge can actually be about 3-4 times the power rating. Have never had problems running a microwave using this rule of thumb. Also, use pure sine wave inverters. While I've had some limited success with a quality modified sine wave inverter and certain model microwave, it's hit-or-miss.
