I've seen hundreds of vans and van builds, but this is one of the most impressive and well-crafted of them.

@LensOfJames Год назад

Thank you, glad you like the build!

@brianshefford2317 Год назад

I think this is one of the best van builds vids I have watched.This guy has made use of every nook and cranny very clever.😮

@brianshefford2317 Год назад

I have to agree! This is the best one yet

@garrykennedy5653 2 года назад

Nice build, I love the fact that the van can easily revert back to full size by removing components. Well done I will use some of your ideas as I build my new van.

@magnacarta9364 Год назад

That was very good idea.

Same. I want to be able to revert to a full van ideally… to have options

@cm2270 2 года назад

Absolutely the best simple common sense van build ever. I'm moving out of a chevy astro to a nissan nv200 in a couple months and I'm going to build it out like yours. Thanks a lot for the video.

@GodskidUr1 Месяц назад

It takes some work and creativity to do all that. Looks great 😊

@EricGebhard 2 года назад

Cool video. My wife and I watch several of your build videos and you did a fantastic job building out Yogi. You are obviously a very skilled woodworker. This recap is a great idea and really fun to watch. The Nissan NV200 makes a great camper van, we have one also.

@LensOfJames 2 года назад

Thanks Eric, glad you like the build - hope you're enjoying your van!

This is definitely the most well thought out and executed builds I’ve seen! Might take some inspiration for the 2nd iteration of my Dacia Dokker.

@fritz4345 Год назад

@suearthur5129 Год назад

Love the use of the carpet and vinyl which cuts down the weight of the conversion and looks great. Your build was fantastic.

@philipmyatt967 Год назад

What a fabulous and ingenious van build, I had an nv200 4-5 years, I found them an utterly reliable if just a tad small. I am just buying a Vivaro, and fitting it out as a stealth camper/ mtb hauler. And I found your build inspiring, love the way you finished the carpeting on the doors. And the door pockets are ingenious.. very nice 👍🏻

@1hjehje 2 года назад

Excellent work. Great attention to detail and a conversion that can be completed at a reasonable cost. RV prices have gone through the roof lately. I have a travel trailer but I am considering a van sometime in the future for weekend camping. Thank you for the video.
