I've had my 2011 Transit Connect for 5 years. Here's a fun fact; a waterproof crib mattress pad fits over the open back doors and makes a little canopy over the back doors. I use some magnet clips to hold it in place. I removed the rear door panels and and fit a shelf between them that is my outdoor kitchen counter. Your van is beautiful and inspiring. I'm not a full timer, just an occasional camper.

Great build! If I wasn't so tall, I'd totally do something like this! The problem I'm having right now is making a functional space for my height. Everything works up until the having a place to sleep, cause I'm so tall I reach from the back of the vehicle into the driver's area. Still figuring it out, but I'm committed to doing this, so one way or another, I'll make it work.

The one in my area has showers and restroom facilities with lockers if you want to use them. Indoor heated swimming pool, weightlifting equipment, yoga classes and rows of treadmills. Lots of people use it just for the showers and a change of clothes. Next door is a free library with rows of computers with free internet and every type of reading material imaginable. Many people just sit at the computers for hours just to get out of the weather. No hassles.

I particularly like the combination of untreated wood with soft fabrics. It is, as someone else said, "homey comfy cottage-y." :) I love the double-use pillows! Good work fitting it all to factory attachment points where possible.

Mine is white and it didn't dawn on me to repaint the interior metal a different color. I bought 20 of those ceramic magnets to hold up mesh over the windows as well as temporary curtains when sleeping in the back. Watching this video, I have decided that I need to remove my second row seating to make it a clean slate. Great job!

If I were to get a van, I wd want one of a similar length and a Ford Transit like yours wd do very nicely. It is small but perfectly formed👍 Love all the gadgets and your aesthetic. It is so pretty. Can see that you could be stealth because ppl wd not expect someone to be sleeping/living in a van that size. 👍😊❤

Thank you for all of your videos. I purchased a mini cargo van back in November but I haven’t done anything to it because I was overwhelmed with all the work. Wanting it to be perfectly built or the expectation of what I should have and look like. But your videos have given me confidence that I can really DIY and have it more practical and pretty at the same time.

What impresses me the most is how clean, colorful, and organized the inside of your van is, because I lack your talent. I built out my high-top Chevy Express van. But after two years, I still don't have my organization worked out, nor your "artist's touch". You're amazing!

I've watched your van presentation twice before and yours was well done, Dee. I did a video for my daughter who lives in San Diego. She's excited to fly out to the east coast and we will travel across the U.S. together in my '19 GMC Savana cargo van which I converted myself. I've used quite a few ideas from you, Marie and videos presented by Bob Wells and Carole of G.L.O.W. Amazon has made a small fortune from me as pretty much 90% of the conversion items come from them. The other 10% comes from Walmart, Goodwill and from home. I've had a ball decorating this van and I'm sure as I travel, things will come and things will go, constantly changing. Today, I hung a faux plant, a magnetic dart board, added a personal mini AC unit (add ice cubes or water) with three speeds and internal changing LED lights. I mounted my Jackery on the wall above my cot and I can reach up to turn on a string of Luminoodle LED lights, a personal fan and the mini AC unit. My laptop will serve as my TV, DVD and CD player. I bought the Aootek lights you recommended to place on my roof when I'm camping...great for security. I have a small ham radio but no license so I will order a Cobra hand held CB radio for communications with other drivers. As a long distance truck driver I found having a CB can save your bacon should you break down and cell service is often nonexistent. You've done a super job on your van and you're well organized. I am seriously OCD so my van has to clean and organized as well.

been thinking about van living and the build is functional and simple. It really comes down to what you actually need over what you want or desire. Homes are full of stuff just stuff unnecessary to life so that looks all about no frills what you absolutely need and cost effective can't argue with that.
