Heck yeah!!! You have done an amazing job with your van. My boyfriend's parents had a 1981 Ford clubwagon van. His mother has been in a wheelchair for a long time and that's why they had it. They actually adopted him and his two siblings so that they wouldn't be split up. Anyway they gave him that van for his birthday this past Dec. We haven't started yet but we want to. Can't afford much due to being on disability but it really doesn't take a lot just to get started and stay close to home. I hope.

My husband never has an opinion about the van builds I watch. However, he is totally impressed by what you have done. How is the oven working out? Have you ever thought about raising the roof to your van and adding an a/c? Enjoy your journey!
@IanSkelley
@IanSkelley 6 лет назад
Dawn, thanks for the kind words. The oven is great! We use the stove more than the oven, but the oven is great for storage when not in use. If I had the money I might raise the roof....but maybe not....if I were going to live in it full time, I probably would. But I like the simplicity of the standard roof. I am looking at adding a regular window ac unit in the back door. I will make a vid on that as soon as I start....It is getting hot here in Florida now!!!! So the heat is making me get on it. :)

Thanks for the video. Fabulous job. My latest conversion is a Renault Trafic LWB van into a "Touring Van". We don't sleep in the van but use it for trips around Australia and stop for a cup of tea or coffee in nice spots. We sleep in Caravan Park cabins. This is the fourth van I have done in the last 30 years ( I am 80 now). Our van setup is removable in 15 minutes in case we need to fit facilities for a gopher. Thanks again for giving me inspiration to do more in our van.

Great Van build learned a lot. Mostly on the electronic end. Also like the oven. My friend brought that camping. I thought it was silly until they made garlic bread, french fries, baked potatoes with cheese. The low-tech toilet is a no no. Cassette toilet is the way to go. You went to all this trouble and didn't raise the roof. Not a fan of the bed, that's got to be uncomfortable, or the truck box on the back of the truck. Better platform bed would have given you all the storage you had in the truck box. Impressed by many of the items. I'm sure it works well for you. I'm getting ready to build out a weekend van camper. 3-5 hours any Direction with one or two night stays. My wife is concerned about security. I like those cameras and sensors!

I'm glad to have finally seen someone put the bed on the right side of the van. I just bought a van, and I plan to put the bed on the right side because I have had two vehicles hit or sideswiped while parked, in the past. And I plan to do some stealth camping and do not want to receive an impact on the side I'm sleeping on. It may never happen, but I'm pretty sure it would be pretty traumatic and possibly injurious

Great built with very good ideas. It looks like you are using a 110v dorm fridge. I've use them for years on my vans. They evacuate the heat through the side wall. It looks like you have completely blocked those walls. It will be dramatically more efficient is you let those walls to breath.

Bidet, absolutely genius!!! Even just to feel clean. I love it! But you should of given her a shower dude... even if you hooked up a shower hose at the back for an outside shower. My non negotiables are having a composting toilet and shower. Even if that means a larger van. Also! With all the bells and whistles you put into that gorgeous machine, you could of gotten an on demand water heater. Just my two cents. You obviously pulled out all the stops, so you had the money. Never too late to add those things for the wifey!

Thanks for the input Crafty. I do have a portable shower and enclosure (not part of the van). Most of the places we have camped so far have shower houses which is convenient. We are not doing a lot of long term off grid camping yet.

A freaking Bidet! That’s fabulous. I had to laugh when you hopped on the bed and said it felt wonderful. I’m not so sure the inside space is going to be very comfortable with those contours. That better be your space or the wife might never go again! 😝 Seriously, do you have some kind of memory foam pad to put over? You’re adorable and your build is stellar.

You did a great job. Remember that ALL dogs must be leashed in Nat'l Parks, etc. Check out the regs before you take yr 4-foot on yr hike. Occasionally, he/she may bff ave to stay home, in the van. If its hot, be sure to put up yr insulated window panels & keep the air moving. You guys did a great job!

My favorite thing is your cameras mounted in your side mirrors. I haven’t checked your other videos yet but if you haven’t done a more detailed video on how you installed those cameras, I would be interested to know more.

Unfortunately, I didn't really have a good detail video on the side camera install. Here is an overview of that part of the build: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-By0AbYBbgVI.html

I think the bed / sofa is perfect !!! If its a really hot night or youre on each others nerves you can put up a tent and sleep outside. BTW van campers always bring a tent for park campsites. Technically its for camping not sleeping in your car. Just put up the tent for window dressing and sleep where you want. Also if the car breaks down and needs repairs you're not stuck for a place to sleep. And if you drive to the grocery store in the van the tent says "this site is taken".

This is a VERY detailed build, however I (like you) tried to bring everything but the kitchen sink on my first build. I have since learned to do with less 'creature comforts' in the van, and I now spend more time 'living out' of the van, not 'in' the van. Best of luck to you, and again very nice build!

Interesting. I am looking for my 1st van now to build and I will be building-as-I-live in realtime. Just the raw basics for a guy that lives simply at first. Also want to build for "space usage while driving" vs "space usage while living" meaning that can I build a portable storage unit(s) that I place outside when camping that is inside in the isle while driving.
