A couple things we forgot to mention in the tour/wanted to highlight: 1. We insulated our van with Havelock Wool. We did a whole video about why we chose them, which can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uCbw4nAPuIM.html 2. We have gotten a lot of questions about where we keep pantry items. Those are stored in the upper cabinet above the kitchen. We eat mostly refrigerated foods (meat and veggies), so we don’t need a big space for those items. 3. We have a carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher in the van, as well as a roadside emergency car kit! 4. If you want more specific details about how we built the van, check out our van build series. We cover the materials, methods, and challenges we had in a bit more detail: ru-vid.com/group/PLZKRTK1yCEM5PKa_B2tZJ5nWZOKsP1mLv 5. To see the products we used, our cost breakdown, and learn about the mistakes we made, check out this blog: adventuresofaplusk.com/blog/van-conversion-cost-tour-mistakes. 6. For our grey water set up, we used this electric ball valve: amzn.to/2L1ckO8 We will update this comment with any FAQS we get from the video as well.

We will only dump it if it’s legal to do so and typically only will do it on the road while driving. No one has noticed or said anything. We use Campsuds and are also trying this new Sea to Stream soap. We have to order it on Amazon and pick it up at Amazon lockers because it’s hard to find good options at stores.

A suggestion: When you can afford it, consider setting up the ladder on a sliding rack on the van top. Unlock the lower connector, raise back and up while standing on a folding stool. Slide up and over the roof. Have a theft-locking system on the opposite side. Plus... think of a narrow storage system on inside both back doors, especially in the upper area. TrickyRick

Thank you for sharing how much the conversion costs, and for mentioning that you went a bit over budget. I've seen a lot of van tours, and people refuse to mention money at all, and they act as if they have unlimited funds. Also - thanks for talking about how you make your living on the road. You guys are fortunate to be able to work remotely. Beautiful van. Now I'll have to check out your other videos because I want to see your dog.

Thank you for watching Zachary! We’re glad those pieces of info were helpful! It’s scary mentioning the conversion costs, as it was a lot of money 😅, but we saved hard to make it happen and we are very proud of the quality of work we did! Our pup Kona was at a training program during this, so she doesn’t reappear for a bit, but she is in some vlogs (including a few older ones too)! 🤗

So far the best design I found on YT. Like how you managed to make a bathroom and the shower, and some guys are like "you can't fit shower, it will take you a lot of space" etc., but you prove they are wrong. Good luck, and I hope you will enjoy it a lot. Cheers from web dev!
@AdventuresofAplusK
@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад
Thanks a bunch Stefan! The shower space is small, but it works great! For a 1-2 minute shower, you don’t need anything that big! And we like that it creates more of a closed off bathroom for privacy 😃

Would love you to show how you go “stealth” and how all your blackout and window coverings work. Is there light leakage viewable from outside the van? Thanks. This video was very thorough and informative.
@AdventuresofAplusK
@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад
We had some trouble with the homemade covers we made, so we ended up buying some covers that work so much better. There is maybe a tiny bit of light viewable at an angle, but we have only stealth camped once in two months, so stealthability hasn’t been the biggest priority for us. We will try to cover this soon!

I may just copy your build 😀. Great ideal on the grey water tanks/release valve and hole on the bottom of butcher block to reduce the weight! Katherine, you brought a great point, your plans are to travel and not be a van lifer which is why I see this specific build suits your needs. The garage isn't really needed to store camp chairs and tables...toys. Look forward to your travel adventures.
@AdventuresofAplusK

Your "home" is amazing. It's obvious you did a lot of planning and used every bit of space wisely and it is so beautifully decorated. Hope it's not too much trouble or expensive to get it fixed from the parking lot accident in Mesa Verde that happened while you were "not home". We really enjoyed talking with you on the train ride and wish we had seen your videos before our vacation. Plan to watch them all when we are home. Safe travels, Tim and Cindy

I’d recommend adding some height to any van you get to loft a bed. You get tired of rebuilding the bed all the time
