VAN CONVERSION AND TOUR: Chevy Express Cargo Van Becomes a Stealth Camper 

GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT BUILD! NEW SUB. HAVE FUN KIDS!

You had a spider friend chilling in the battery storage 😀

The perfect van in my book.

By far the very best van video I have ever seen. Straight to the point. Man I love how you just tell the facts and none of this showing off sh&t. You answered a lot of my questions. Thank you so much bro.

Appreciate your humor :)

Fun to watch special effects…👏

You honestly nailed it man! Your ingenuity knows no bounds

Great idea to put the cassette toilet in the plastic bin...not only does it blend in with the other bins, but you don't have to worry about any accidental leaks or spills..👍😉

very cool !

good one

Simple and Beautiful !

Thank you for your time. Your van is absolutely perfect. I like how simple and efficient everything is. Great work.

Man that is the perfect camper van plain lane van on the outside beautiful on the inside love how you put it all together I love simple things and that's the coolest and cheapest way to go awesome job my hat's off to you 😊😊😊

Is the simpliest, yet the most cleaver arrange ever I have seen. Looks good too. Congrats!.

Hannibal and I agree it is good when a plan comes together! nice work.

There’s a million van builds out there, but finding one that’ll teach everything one needs to have and to understand the solar electrical system is something else…

Oh my gosh, so much like what we are in the process of doing. Very similar build. Definitely my number one video to save!

I’m an HVAC technician and I bought our spare van from my boss since the dealership only wanted to give them $2000 for the van which is a 2007 Chevy express 2500. I just want to insulate it and do a solar kit. I have a travel trailer but I like to go out prospecting for gold so a lot of times I’ll just crash in my truck so getting the van allows me to take more tools plus throw a cot down but it was 20* the other night and sleeping in that un-insulated was cooler than sleeping in the tent lol. With the tent I’d use my Mr buddy heater and it worked awesome in the van it doesn’t have enough ventilation so it shuts the Mr buddy off. Anyways great video and build. I gave you a sub so I can keep up with your build plus I love me some jits 😊

Everything came out fantastic. Great job!

Very cool ! Nice build

Very nicely done.

Great video and a few cool ideas to think about!! I LOVE that screen idea!! If you're backed in to a camp site and the fire is going but it's just too "buggy" out, I can see laying in bed and the fire is still going...PERFECT!! GREAT JOB!!

This is a terrific video but also very well done project good for you

Nice. Simple. Love it.

Very cool 😎nice job !

I love the build. I have an Express passenger van but am terrified of ripping everything out so it’s currently a no-build build, lol. It works for me so far but I’m gonna have to bite the bullet soon to install the fan and permanent solar. Just using portable solar now. Great ideas, thanks for sharing.

Nice job 👍

Pretty Good Thanks For The Video.

Cool spider @ 5:13

Great job! The sink is especially impressive. Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s inspiring.

I love it simple but clean 👌I'm planning on doing something similar

Wow, that’s killer. Great job!

5:08 dude the spiderrrr😱😱😱😱

freaking brilliant!

Pretty similar setup to my express. I like what you did.

Nice build bro. I'm in planning stage for a Express now. The Dodge caravan I have has served well for working. Just want more space.

I love the setup the only thing I would make different for the cargo van is put a power station in there for me less wiring. :-)

Beautiful

That spider is like this is my area

My plan for a Nissan nv200 is, though scaled down, almost exactly like this. Cool van!

fantastic build!

Wow you killed it bro. Very very nice. I’m getting one of these vans for work. But I also intend to use it for camping etc. I can’t convert it but I’m okay with that. Air mattress on the floor is good enough for me 🤣😢

"The Flight of the Condors" was my one of my favorite shows. "Juh-maine!" - Anyway, at first I thought you were building a traveling camper for secret BJJ sessions. However, what you did was even better. This is cool my man! Let us know if you vlog about the van life.

Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I love how simple your electrical is! Are you finding the one battery and two 200W solar panels are enough to suit your needs including running your electric cooler? I am planning a build and was planning on charging the batteries from the alternator as well, but seeing your video makes me think it could be even simpler and just charge via solar. I know it's best to have two sources just in case.

Great video and very simple but more functional. I am looking for GMC Savana Cargo Van conversation build and your video going to help me alot. I need help with wiring since I am not professional hope to find a local person to help me with a electrical part of the van build

I'm about to do the same thing

Love the no non-sense build. Someone mentioned alternate source of power on cloudy/shade days. How about a smaller jackery when the permanent solar is low. You think that would be efficient if you didn't want to deal with using the car alternator? That way you would have the jackery for say emergency purposes?

I highly recommend that you remove the screws & washers on the controller wires as they will eventually chafe & short the positive & negative cables, which is a fire hazard. Use insulated staples or clamps one & keep all positive & negative wires separated.

Now you can roll vid around the country 😂

the one thing everyone neglects is aerodynamics... even with the poor mileage of a full size van, a 10-20 percent increase in mileage just by removing all the stuff on the roof

Omggg your van

Cool build! Ever think of doing it full time?

This is awesome dude! How much would you say this cost you? Aside from the van

Did you name your buddy at 5:08? I bet he likes playing spider guard.

👍🏼👍🏼🇲🇽

Very nice work. I have a 2021 Chevy Express Cargo. In between the visors, overhead, there is a blank space that is almost a square shape. It appears to be hollow behind it. I want to put a monitor there for sideview, backup cameras. Do you know if that is hollow and is it a big job to remove the headliner to get in there?

What faucet is that? Very nice.

I love your conversion! Definitely stealth. I was curious about the length across you have available to insert a bed; how tall are you and are you able to sleep comfortably across? I'm curious because I'm 5'8". Thank you, I'm planning on a conversion myself.

is the battery system you show at 4:49 completely independent of the factory electrical system in the van?

Is there anything like the Chevy express that isn’t a gas guzzler? I’m in LA and gas here is expensive and traffic is bad

Lol no way this is awesome. My instructor is doing this too. How bad are the restrictions in Canada btw?

I watch vancity van life 9n the tube also chromium is cool

If you had to do it all over again, would you go with the Chevy Express extended?

I know these vans can get unbearably hot in the summer. How has the vent and insulation worked out?

can you please provide info re; the exact bed you bought?

Just curious how did the build effect your gas mileage? I have a buddy that just bought a Express and we going to do some work on it.

Do you mind sharing what you used to attach the wood materials to the walls, floor, and ceiling? Thanks!

What is the best battery saw 2 use?

How's the interior width for sleeping? I'm 5' 9" and I've always worried it'll be too narrow.

What's the interior width at the height the bed is at? I can't seem to find width other than between the wheel wells online.

what did you use for the wall panels? link?

is this a 3500?

Can i please have all the item break out

What do you cook in and where?

your back ground noise is to loud. adjust please.

How tall are you? Thx.

🕷 05:08
