Good design, like all the little extras you put in to make your life a lot easier in the long run 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@rickt151 6 лет назад

Do it right or don't start. Amazing! Maybe make something so the 3rd bed part sits at an angle so the bed turns into a bench? _/_

@seanc3362 6 лет назад

Cody, this adventure van conversion should be in a book you write. So many great ideas in a single video series.

@feellnfroggy 6 лет назад

Until you get the 4x4 installed Cody, add a rear diff locker. (electric) and that van will still go most place 4x4 will. You will be so glad you did, as glad as you are for the 3 piece mattress.

@rjtumble 6 лет назад

The van's really coming along. At some point, are you going to do a cost breakdown? You've mentioned a number of times how what you're doing is either better (quality or reliability) or cheaper than a commercial product. It would be interesting to see a breakdown when you're done.

@ForRealzMedia2K12 6 лет назад

rjtumble tbh you can get a second hand Winnebago (Walter White meth lab) for cheaper then the van he used, I'm not saying it's the same thing as if you had a van already and then turned it into a camper but his build is more expensive but newer

@gc7782 6 лет назад

Clayton Tucker I'm sure you're correct. However, I also think it would be interesting to see this project compared with something similar in terms of age and features.

@rjtumble 6 лет назад

Yeah, agreed. You can generally buy something used and spend less money. I'm thinking of a comparison of this new DIY vs new ready-made.

@troyf1 6 лет назад

Please don't forget a CO detector when you add the heater.

@kaffewok7331 6 лет назад

I dont know if im just over-analyzing, but i feel like your energy, enthusiasm and overall video quality has gone up alot in the past couple of videos. You had a bit of a slump for a while, but the content you put up now are just as in the early days of this channel. Keep up the good work and i wish you good health for yourself and the family.

@RhonddaTwin 6 лет назад

this series takes forever, but the content is good and i like the idea of a van that can be dissembled and used as a working van when not on holiday. i would love to do this one day

@peterdavidowicz4374 6 лет назад

I love all the description of the verious methods and material used, it is great education for any prospective DIYers.

@AgriculturalLife 6 лет назад

In Belgium, we can buy the 4x4 version at the dealer, comes out of the Ford factory, so thats wierd that it's not possible in America. Nice work you all ready have done on the Van

@AgriculturalLife 6 лет назад

We only can buy diesel, no other fuel possible at this moment. Never know that there would be such difference between America and Europe.

@droyce4596 6 лет назад

which diesel is available for you? In America I think we only have 6.7l which has a lot of problems, and also vents the exhaust fumes during regen cycles into the passenger compartment, often resulting in the hospitalization of the occupants. but its a very powerful engine.

@AgriculturalLife 6 лет назад

EcoBlue 2,0-liter TDCi, with 105 HP/360 Nm, 130 HP/385 Nm and 170 HP/405 Nm. A 6.7l engine is not done here, this because of taxes and consumption :) diesel is around 1.3€ (1.5$) for 1 liter (0.26 gallon).

@droyce4596 6 лет назад

Agricultural Life that makes sense lol. Turns out I was wrong, apparently they never offered the 6.7 in a transit, but we do get a 3.2 diesel here.

@Digger927 6 лет назад

Awesome Cody, nice job! I imagine that bed actually helped the structural integrity of the box portion of the van.

@avgustinlazo4354 6 лет назад

You should round off or put plastic corners on the aluminum frame so when move the panels around you don’t accidentally cut the other panel

@rickmaudlin2160 6 лет назад

Yes please, my thought exactly.

@tylerbuchholz3234 6 лет назад

I was thinking that also; I thought Cody was going to snag and slice that new upholstery when he was showing us how they fit. He's not finished so he might do that, but it'll be more difficult now it's covered. ; )

@L-231 6 лет назад

I don't even know why I watch this channel, I don't do anything with this information, but I like this guy and this channel ;)

@jordanofalltrades6154 6 лет назад

I wish I had even half of the knowledge that you have. I'm still young and I hope to one day be capable of creating something of this quality. Excellent job.

@hammer9390 6 лет назад

Cody, it looks great! Someone may already mentioned the idea (I have not read all of the comments, so I am sorry, if I am repeating); and you may already have a better idea, too. When you need more room, use one bed panel, as the back of a couch, at the very back of the van, and store the other panel on the wall for a back rest, or store it above the one used for the back, if you already have another use for the wall. Hope this made sense.

@wazrasta 6 лет назад

I love seeing a new wranglerstar upload! Makes my day

@stuartnaulty6821 6 лет назад

As already suggested, use the front bed section as a couch back during the daytime. Store bedding, pillows and PJ's in baskets behind the couch back.

@Graveltrucking 6 лет назад

The upholsterer did a really nice job on your bed panels that takes skill to do that, the van is slowly coming a long.

@samdyer5779 6 лет назад

really like this whole concept. The idea of using it for other things instead of just camping is good to. lots of variety with the portable bed, keen to see the finished product!

@paulj3625 6 лет назад

couldn't you engineer the bed so one of the three strips (the one nearest the driver) can be lifted out and fixed up to make a back to a sofa type arrangement. perfect for when parked up and gives you extra space. just a thought, excellent work as always

@CainnechK 6 лет назад

paul juster I was thinking the same thing.

@rickmaudlin2160 6 лет назад

Yes please, We had a van that did that and it was so versatile. Very Nice.

@ForRealzMedia2K12 6 лет назад

paul juster why do you need a couch ? This is meant for when they go skiing or camping, just a sleeper/transport not to hang out in

@dabj9546 6 лет назад

On rainy days a couch is great.

@mysticvirgo9318 6 лет назад

Nice to have the options

@lukeschneider9315 6 лет назад

When the series began I wasn't sold on upfitting a stock van into an sportsmobile vs. purchasing an RV for overnight trips. After seeing how the bed came together I'm full supporter. Those three removable panels will be so versatile for the outdoor activities you mentioned. You're basically packing a full locker room & equipment room in your vehicle. This will end up being a perfect van for weekend adventures... I guess that's where the name 'ADVENTURE VAN' comes from. As an avid RV'er there a many things I'd like to change in my travel trailer with the main one being the bed. It takes up a third of the space in my 18' trailer and I would love to convert it into a murphy bed to add room for seating.

@loganlowry8218 6 лет назад

I think Im speaking for everyone when i say that Cody should give a hint of the next video more often. Good Job on the video!!!

@KoalityofLife 6 лет назад

That van needs a crescent moon shaped window in the quarter panel on each side. A little throw back to the 60's and 70's. :)

@KoalityofLife 6 лет назад

You cant picture Mr. Wranglerstar with long hair and a tie dye tee shirt. lol. Yeah me either. :)

@hhnguyen504 6 лет назад

The finished bed looks beautifully professional! Good job! Of course the upholsterer did a very good job.

@Gunnslinger50 6 лет назад

Hey Cody. As a plumber when people call water heaters, hot water heaters is a pet peeve of mine. It's just redundant. No big deal. I'll just leave a comment about it when you say it.

@timkirkpatrick9155 6 лет назад

looks really nice,Cody! An old makers adage you might want to consider, 'Never make a one off, same work to make a dozen.' Ready made sale stock.

@jeffvance4610 6 лет назад

Glad to see more video of the van project! That fabric work is very high quality.

@mavos1211 6 лет назад

What’s happened to mrs W? I do hope she is ok. How is the wine coming along that you and Jack bottled last year?

@badoldbiker368 6 лет назад

Hi Cody, great work. It is so good to see a craftsman who takes pride in his work.

@Daddysbehind 6 лет назад

This van is going to be a total beast

@JoshuaaaT 6 лет назад

The bed turned out great!

@thefulltour9710 6 лет назад

It's really cool that you are going to convert it into 4x4! I feel like it's a must for an adventure van. It is coming together well!

@scotthilbun6796 6 лет назад

I've been doing research for about 6 months in preparation of doing my own sprinter van conversion and would highly recommend taking a look at " The Restoration Couple" on you tube for what ( IMO) is the best DYI on how to properly insulate a van conversion. This is of particular importance in colder and wetter climates like we have in the Pacific Northwest US. Keep up the great content on all fronts, I'm a big fan of what you stand for!

@RomeoEdward 6 лет назад

They used reflectix to insulate their van. There are many videos that say installing reflectix directly on the metal gives zero insulation value. If you build in an air pocket it gets a little better, but there are much better materials to use for van insulation.

@davidgenthnerjr4995 6 лет назад

Great video Cody. I went to the proving grounds 3 years ago when they were working the final bugs out. We sat in one of these and they dropped the temperature outside the van down to -60 degrees. Even at them extreme temps the van started.

@VnazT 6 лет назад

Cody, you should think about adding the I channels along the roof of the van so that you can add hangers for skis, rifles, shelves, and bags off of the floor. It would de clutter the van during adventures and be easy to remove. Plus, you would have tiedown points up high for awkward loads.

@PalauCreationsbyQCP 6 лет назад

Hi from Palau! We could just sleep on logs on the water here in Palau but I still enjoy all of this!

@kidgokuxl 6 лет назад

Can't wait to see more on the van transformation. I really like the design you came up with on the bed I've been thinking about maybe doing this in the future. So I'll be watching for updates. Another great video Cody.

@datawolftech 6 лет назад

If you take out the middle and stand the back one up using the back door as brace could make extra searing and like a couch.i like the idea of the gas generator. Can you share the link for tha company

@frankdamelio1351 6 лет назад

Very exciting project! I really look forward to seeing how the heater works with the heat exchanger. 1 gal a min of hot water out of the equivalent of a big beer can is awesome!

@PaulCarterArt 5 лет назад

Great creative bed build well done, just came across your channel for research on a medium transit van. Thanks for the tips

@JohnS-zq8ks 6 лет назад

Top shelf work Cody! I'm glad you have the resources to put the right equipment on the rig.

@Vinchenzo51 6 лет назад

Make that first panel into a backrest for the middle panel when removed, basically turn it into a couch when you're not sleeping. Not sure HOW to make that happen, but sounds nice lol. Looks good, enjoy.

@jessehclark 6 лет назад

Cody you should round off the corners of the edge of the panel rails where plastic goes. As you were putting it in the van, I was crossing my fingers that it wouldn't damage the upholstery! I imagine they're not sharp but it still looks like a pretty pointy corner.

@David-xo8ci 6 лет назад

Looks great! Btw, you might be able to hook up a 12v pump to that water heater. That way, if you are near a lake, you could pump up lake water, heat it up and use it to shower. That way you wouldn't use any of the drinking water. Just a thought.

@kpopahjussi6379 6 лет назад

LOL! It's obvious you're really excited about this entire project. It looks amazing. Keep up the good work!!

@utweakermolotov142 6 лет назад

you should add somewhere to put the bed panels how about across the rear door to form a sofa

@dutchcourage7312 6 лет назад

She did an amazing job. Tbh. i am somewhat glad you choose to have a professional do it, instead of messing around yourself. I will have to keep that in mind for some of my own projects. Think that also made the difference in regards to the 'wish i had done something different' factor ... Looking forward to lighting up the forge ...

@NRCustom 6 лет назад

Great job, the van is coming out very nice. It's definitely going to be the ultimate ski trip vehicle. Can't wait to see the 4wd conversion!

@keithbrookshire 6 лет назад

I can't wait to see the generator / heat exchanger set up.

@ThousandWordImages 6 лет назад

I used an Espar forced air diesel unit on my 40' boat for years. Very reliable, sipped fuel and it would run you out of there even in 15 to 20 degree weather. You'll like it.

@alanrouse8301 6 лет назад

That is going to be a very nice vehicle when you get it done. You should have a lot of fun with it. Nice going.

@chadfailla9999 6 лет назад

Great work on the bed. Happy to hear you're gonna do a 4x4 conversion. We have quadvan on our transit and it turns into a tractor on snow...

@ScotWalt858 6 лет назад

Awesome setup! Well done. Looking forward to seeing the heater and 4WD conversion!!

@WillCattell1 6 лет назад

You're overkilling this van... and i love it!!!!!

@DrivingWithJake 6 лет назад

That little Asian lady did a great job! Can't wait to see more of this and a cost breakdown.

@athiker7209 6 лет назад

That's a nice clean installation. We prefer a very firm mattress, also.

@Hellfrolic71 6 лет назад

Turned out great! Looks like you may need to round off those sharp corners of the aluminum from so they don't accidentally rip your pretty upholstery.

@justinlemme7917 6 лет назад

You should put some railing support like you did for the bed on the supports of the back doors so you can make it a couch for more comfort and space saving. So instead of stacking the front panel, you could just make it a back support for the rest of the mattress.

@TheCanadianBubba 6 лет назад

Sounds like a lot of rain for you there... we havent seen Mt.Fuji in almost two weeks ! great van update, really looking forward to your smithing project !

@SCooperEagle 6 лет назад

Wow, it looks amazing. Always best to do it right the first time.

@TrikeRoadPoet 6 лет назад

Really sweet conversion, you have put some real work into this!

@tarikwasthere 5 лет назад

Wow! That is pro level work right there. Reallly, reallllly, nice

@dennisalanvids 6 лет назад

My god this is looking amazing! Really great job with the design and build. So many ideas running through my head now. Can't wait to see the little genny. I forwarded this to my mechanic as a good business opportunity to do some of those 4x4 conversions out here in the north east.

@dannydethanos6994 6 лет назад

You can tell how much quality and time are put into designing the Ford vehicles by how sturdy it looks when it's driven

@yonihales9133 6 лет назад

Wow, thats a very high end job on those panels! !

@snomobila 6 лет назад

Definitely hitting the thumbs up on this one! That bed looks great cody! Ive been waiting to see the finished product!! All those hours building it really shows in the end! Great job

@joshgonzalez8092 6 лет назад

@Riverdawg227 6 лет назад

I love The Dalles. From La Grande, been through there a thousand times.

@alec4672 6 лет назад

For that gas furnace I'd install a little 12v remote control switch so you can turn it on and have it be warm before you even get inside.

@sharifbratschi1046 6 лет назад

Hello Codi great video again. But maybe you should also reinforce the second panel in case you get the first out to make more room and sit on the second. Greetings from Holland

@TokyoCraftsman 6 лет назад

Cody, as usual you attention to detail pays off, well done! It is kinda of nuts that it has taken this long for the mighty Ford Transit to make it to to the USA, don't you think? The Tankless on demand water heaters are the way to go, we use them about 98% of the time here in Japan. I can't wait to see more work done on this van. Cheers!

@sherizaahd 6 лет назад

@darrylkennedy2125 6 лет назад

@rexhargrove5172 5 лет назад

Absolutely beautiful planning and execution!

@mechanicmike2858 6 лет назад

Excellent job on that bed really coming together

@kyledavey3113 6 лет назад

looks great. if you where able to take one of the bed panels off and turn it on its edge against the back door you would be able to have a couch/lounge area.

@SaturdayProjects 6 лет назад

That turned out really nice.

@granjerolunabrillo1487 6 лет назад

I'm a huge fan of eberspacher, both the circulating water version and the D2 hot air heater. They also do an amazing stove and with it be exhausted to the outside unlike propane instead of increasing condensation it can actually help to reduce it.

@hansfreekit 6 лет назад

Nice one. I was planning on attempting this style of bed for my upcoming van conversion. Watching you build this has helped me to de-mystify the process. So, I will probably have a go now. So, well done,- and thanks!

@24copeland 6 лет назад

Can you do a video of the lighting install?!? That would help me with my project

@fluffsipad7462 6 лет назад

I would look at private jets seats for inspiration. Two facing seats make one bed. the electrical have one battery for the engine and the rest for living so you are not stuck at a camp spot.

@TheBlackWidow67 6 лет назад

Extremely clean work. I’m thinking of doing something similar in my suv. But make it more of a permanent structure.

@andrewhatton9963 6 лет назад

That was a very good design that's professional.

@jeffsims7386 6 лет назад

Have you thought about putting some sort of rack on either side of the bed so that you could hang the panels up like ladders? Might make some easy storage for the panels instead of stacking them in the back, leaving the last panel as a couch of sorts for putting on boots and whatnot.

@devoncoolman88 6 лет назад

Love watching the van build video's! Keep em coming.

@jeremyjensen867 6 лет назад

That's funny, a little Asian lady also runs the upholstery shop where I get work done, great work on the bed frame, you mentioned moving the front bed panel for more space, you could slide it back, put it on it's side (little bit of hardware) and use it for a backrest, have yourself a couch.

@offgridsweden 6 лет назад

That van is going to be awesome!, Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden

@BaronRossHartell 6 лет назад

i’m looking forward to the colder weather, you seem to do more videos on antique restorations during the cold weather. Also, i would like to know your thoughts on tree trimming. When, how, where and why.

@Northern_Farmer 6 лет назад

I need one for my Van down by the river!!!!!!

@mavos1211 6 лет назад

I would place a bracket on the walls in line with the back of the first cushion then you could lift the middle cushion to make a sofa.

@ringerson4x4 6 лет назад

Love the bed, it came out great.

@drmaudio 6 лет назад

It turned out very nice.

@zjorvis95 6 лет назад

Great job on the Van! Coming along nicely!

@tgregtownsley3964 6 лет назад

Nice job...suggestion, make the first panel capibible of turning into a couch back...dual purpose. (Slanting back over the last panel making the middle panel the couch seat)

@lint2023 6 лет назад

I wonder if you tilted up the front two bed panels onto the rear one if it would make a sofa with a lean-back across the back. Looking forward to learning about the heater. Sounds really interesting.

@1bestrafung 6 лет назад

I'm in the process of making my fiberglass camper shell into a slimmed down RV of sorts, much like your van. You really got my attention with the announcement of the furnace/heat exchanger and I want one. I tried to find it but struck out. Hope you can give us an update on that soon, I will be very impatiently waiting :D
