Urban Stealth Camping Van Tour w/Off Grid Solar:
This van is Set up as an off-grid stealth camper van.
It is fully equipped with a solar power electrical system. There are two Solar Panels discretely mounted to the roof of the van. All the rest of the electrical components including the Solar Controller, Pure Sine Wave inverter, and deep cycle Gel battery are mounted inside of the van.
The batteries are also connected to the van’s alternator to maximize its charging capabilities. With this electrical system installed, you can watch tv, charge devices, and play video games for hours without running out of power.
There are AC and USB outlets in convenient areas throughout the van, as well as super bright rechargeable magnetic LED lights with 3 brightness levels.
The living area of this tiny house has gas heat and a gas oven/stove. There’s also a fully functional sink and water system, as well a flushing toilet.
For cooking and ventilation, the tiny house has a 3 speed Dometic Fan-Tastic roof vent above the kitchen area.
There is a projector screen that can be angled on a swiveling wall mount which is connected to a DTV antenna and my PS4 video game console.
The couch can seat 4 people and converts into a king sized bed. There is a massive easy to reach storage space under the bed.
There are 3 layers of insulation which makes it easy to regulate temperature inside the van regardless of the temperature outside of the van.
All cabinets in the van are secured with magnets to make sure nothing falls while the van is moving. There is also a Murphy desk that has integrated wireless charging for personal cellular devices, laptops, and tablets.
The van is in excellent mechanical condition. I’ve driven it from North Carolina to California and back without a single issue.
I wanted to test my building skills by renovating an older van than I'm usually used to working with, so i decided to build this solar powered Urban Stealth Camping tiny house Van using the shell of a 1989 Ford Econoline 150. In this video I take you with me from start to finish and show everything that I built from the electrical setup to the details of each floorboard and shiplap wall panel. I was able to build this entire off grid tiny house with only $3,500. The van itself cost me $1,200.
mobile Tiny house living is all about doing everything you need to do in a house, while being parked anywhere you want, without ever being noticed. Stealth Camping is honestly one of the funnest things you can do while saving a ton of money, and I honestly believe that this is the most planned out and legitimate setup on youtube.

facts. this is my idea of a dream home! having a vehicle/van like this brilliant creation\conversion would sincerely change my life imeasurably for the absolute better in every way. i am going to do everything i am able to, to achieve the goal of obtaining the vehicle as well as the materials to closely recreate this perfect home for my nomadic lifestyle. (i've become homeless many times throughout my life as i have a overwhelming NEED to never be rooted in one place for too long of a period of time. (my family was military and we moved so so so much when I was growing up and it became the main routine that never seemed to change, at least ever 36 months if not less. i did not like having to move so much albeit i came to know moving around and traveling as a way of life and i cannot imagine living my life any other way than being nomadic.) this home would make my way of life a comfort because I could ALWAYS take my home with me wherever i go and i believe would eventually help me become comfortable with being in a single certain place and or area for a longer period of time to not have to have my son have the same trouble and insecurity that i unfortunately developed through no fault/choice of my own. thankyou for sharing this video and creation/conversion with me as well as the world. namaste my brother.

@@arfarms5711 My dad's late cousin lived in Oklahoma in a town on the panhandle. He was a mechanic who fixed farm equipment and he would travel to the farms in OK and TX and stay on those farms until the work was finished. I remember he called one time and we talked about what he did for a living and he said thank God he's retired because all of the new equipment is tough to fix and work on because of the computers and he said the same thing you did and that is things break down a lot more than they used. In my case, I used to work on my car all the time when I was younger, it was easy to work on and you can actually get to each part easier than you could now. The engines now are not only run by computers but they are squeezed in and its almost impossible to get to certain parts of the engine. What's crazy is that in the past you had the big V8 engines and larger in cars and you can work around them easily, but now with 6 cylinders or small you would think it would be easier but they are packed tight for some reason. Case and point, I had to chance the alternator on my 2006 Ford Escape, and getting to it was near impossible, it's squeezed into the back and you cannot get to it from the top of the engine and the only way to get to it is through the wheel well on the passenger side...I honestly felt like setting the damned car on fire.

I just watched another guy's van conversion and, although his available space was about 10x what you have here, yours is so much better planned out and actually seems more spacious! Seems like whatever you build is successful because you tailor it to the amount of available square footage. And, oh my God, that projector idea is genius! You keep buildin' 'em, I'll keep droolin' over 'em!

You mean like in the van after it’s been made into a camper/home? Hell yea I’ve always thought that too how nice would that be, pull up to your job early as hell and get some extra sleep, literally can wait until your shift is 2 mins from starting and stroll right in comfortably, work all day and then when you get off, you’re literally hopping in your fucking home.... that sounds so nice. Drive to wherever you’re parking for that night, cook some food, spark a joint and then lay back and relax watching a movie and eating dinner in your home..... sounds like paradise to me honestly. Maybe one day I’ll be able to make that happen

@@jaredcalvert9207 We think a lot a like, that's about how I see my van dwelling life going if I ever got into it. Maybe get a night job, spend nights at work and just go to whatever location for the day when you get off, (easy to blend in during the day that's a +)(maybe louder and harder to sleep that's a - ) who knows maybe you could even park at work for extended amounts of time if the employer would be okay with that. Your whole house would turn into your smoke den lol, I would set up some nice lighting around the van a little tv action, nice comfortable bed it would be great. The only thing I worry about is the space, because its so small I feel like the van would constantly smell like weed, that could be a problem if you're traveling through a certain state and get pulled over. It would just suck having your whole house getting searched for something like that. I'm interested in seeing if I ever end up taking on the van dwelling lifestyle, I think its worth a try at the end of the day, if it doesn't turn out you can always sell it and return to normal "sticks and bricks" living right?

What’s old is new again. Nice job and excellent “stealth” capabilities. Plus, being f150 based, you can get parts anywhere and cheap too! 👍 MY EDIT: I was talking to a friend about your “USC” (Urban Stealth Camper 😜) and he asked me what the “TOP cap looked like”. I remembered exactly what he was talking about as soon as he said it. That roof “extension” is pretty solid fiberglass and yours looks pretty good, but they are notorious for fading and or losing the “clear coating” and exposing the fiberglass. From what I could see yours looks real good and body does NOT appear to have typical Ford rust-rot holes. Might want to consider getting a quote from a decent paint shop what they would charge to JUST shoot a layer (or two) of clear-coating on whole van. You seem like a handy-guy so all you would need to do is light wet sanding on the whole van & TOP. They could clear coat it and that van would REAL stand out as a JUST A VERY WELL CARED FOR VEHICLE that could park in almost ANY neighborhood without drawing unwanted attention. Regardless, I’m rethinking my next project because of your build. THANKS!!😀

The thing I love most about these builds is that he does them with a lot of OLDER vans that would really end up on the scrap heap. Most van builders do their builds with empty, new or next to new vans - NOT older vans! What a great way to recycle things! I also love that he uses simple materials that are easy to find and replace. I would point out two things though; that stove area is too narrow. Heat & polyurethane do not play well over time. There should be a little more space to make sure that heat and steam from your pots does not negatively affect the polyurethane coating. Also, you should have a wiring harness that covers your cables to protect them so they are not exposed and you should run them in a way that doesn't leave them exposed on the top of the van like that. Other than those things, good job! "Bears in the hood" - that was funny as heck! Anyway, keep up the great work! I love to see young black men doing great things! I'm the RU-vid mom you never knew you had rooting for you from a distance! I love what you are doing and I hope that more people get to see your work because the more positive role models people see, the better! Stay safe!

Few points: that wooden stove lid is a fire hazard and should have a steel cover on it ideally backed with some fire retardant. Didn't see much on the Vans mechanical condition, would be a shame to put this much work on the camper and ignore the mechanical parts of the van - brakes and suspension particularly.

Four-wheel-drive vans in the United States are very expensive. Almost all of them are Quigley conversions which adds a minimum of $12,000 to the price. Your best bet is to find an all wheel drive van, like the Toyota sienna, the Chevy Astro, or the GMC Safari. The nice thing is there is a company called journeys off Road that offers a very inexpensive lift kit so you can even add 3 inches to a Toyota sienna and take it off road. Clearly it won’t be a rock crawler but it will take you on much rougher roads than the basic 3 inch clearance will. If you prefer to be a little quirky, check out the JDM Mitsubishi Delica starwagon. Automatic transmission, four-wheel-drive, diesel engines and a good 3 inch lift. You can import these vans with no issue from Japan if they are 1995 or older.
