Exactly what I had in mind, the bed is ok for 1 person. I love the idea in general, very good and smart use of space, except for the the countertop IMO is too wide for the limited space, I'd make it much smaller for more bed space.
Love it! We drew out a very similar design but decided we wanted a whole mattress. It’s so great to be able to see this design come to life! Thanks for sharing!
Great build! I have a blue 2011 Ford Tranist Connect and currently living in it. It is not converted yet, but once I convert it, I will definitely be taking some ideas from you. Cheers.
You guys did a nice job on Tracey! I am converting a Blue 2010 FTC XLT myself. They are great vehicles, but alas 2 seaters and you guys want to have a family! There are larger vans with extra seats for a car seat as well. Best of Luck on your Adventures!
You explain everthing so nicely.The conversion ist awesome!! But the wind is so horrible! I had to switch the tone of completely in my TV because I anyway understood almost nothing.
It's very hard to hear with the wind and traffic, looks like a nice van but it hurts my ears. Why would you block all entrances to the van with furniture, and only be able to enter from the back?
Gorgeous van, but you could have saved quite a bit more space by cutting that counter top width down by about 8 inches and still had quite a bit of counter space! In these vans, every square foot counts!
Nice job. I never really thought about making a shelf for the stove on the door. I'm looking to build a sleeper travel van with light cooking for road trips. The main concern I've been looking at is front to back sleeping. This would work for me. I've been looking for ideas and how to incorporate them in different van scenarios (ie: Promaster City, Ford Transit, Grand Caravan, Toyota Sienna, etc) Thank you for this detailed tour of your van. It's one of the neatest and cleanest ive seen so far!
Your van (bed,) setup is comfortable for one person n ok for two. You could have used foldable stand below your bench to make it more sturdy. Rest all fine. Best of luck.....😃
Awesome setup. I have a 2018 transit connect. I use it for my plumbing business. I'd love to convert my van like this! I would build the same exact setup but built out of steel and aluminum
Also a plumber but have a high roof long body I picked up for about the price of a new transit. Got it from a plumber who already did the conversion with all the storage racks and bins with overhead bins for pvc and copper and a folding ladder. Thinking of making it a camper with space for a dirt bike inside. Might have the space
damn, I would love to finish watching this video because it looks like a cool build but I can't hear a damn thing with that brutal wind and bumping the camera...but I will say you should get an electric heater inside since you have adequate power to run it.
_"It's tight with the dog"_ 🌭🐶🦴 Lol ☘️🎋 Nice build 💖 Q: After the build & sleeping 2, can we consider making the sink cabinet less wide & giving the bed more width?
I bought a 2012 Transit XLT 2 weeks ago. I bet that sold fast. I want a bed built that is a single and slides down to back of passenger seat. Can't block both side doors. Had someone to do it, I guess not now. Tried Craigslist, to many weirdos and can't sort them out. Craigslist is bad now.
Amazing work you did!! The wind sound is terrible so maybe you could do a voice over of the outside your and hope you got a wind muffle for your mic for other videos.
Love the conversion. I need a big bed. My thought is to have the sink area lower to the height of the bed and cover the entire area inside with mattress pieces. A good nights sleep is critical. I noticed no toilet. Has that been any issue?
Honestly when it comes to a toilet in such a small van you’re better off either stopping somewhere, staying on a camp site that has on site toilets or taking an awning and a compact toilet and putting the toilet in the awning, it might not be as private as going to the toilet inside but it sure as hell smells better than going to the toilet inside
I would never block entrances by solid builds. You need minimum a second entrance, in case of emergency, to leave the car. Also you feel more like be in a jail, if you fill your space with builds. And block all, with one entrance only.
