I’ve spent the past couple weeks framing the internal structures of my van conversion with extruded aluminum. Rather than discuss the obvious differences of Aluminum vs Plywood, I figured I’d share my thoughts on some of the less obvious advantages and disadvantages of designing and building cabinet structures with T-slot aluminum.

My off-grid electrical system wiring proved to be a lot more complex than I anticipated, and it was something I didn’t see a lot of other channels discuss when I was researching my van build so I decided to make a dedicated video explaining exactly how to size each of your electrical circuit wires. I share my final wiring calculations as well as discuss some of the pros and cons of choosing a 1...

After reading a number of comments about the current difficulties in finding a van in-stock on a dealer lots, I figured I’d give a detailed explanation of the steps I went through to find Betty, my dream cargo van, in March of 2021. My first step was figuring out the absolute highest loan I could get pre-qualified for so I knew what my absolute max budget was. Once I established my maximum budg...

Testing Vanlife in a ONE-DAY Build

Просмотров 6 тыс.2 года назад

In this video I detail everything I used in my 1-day build to test out vanlife in my 2020 Ford Transit cargo van. Some of these items are admittedly quite expensive for a simple test, but were items I had planned on using in my final build, and were items I was perfectly happy to own even if I decided to abandon my grand van conversion project. (Spoiler alert - I didn’t abandon the project) Tim...

This project was a mammoth logistical puzzle, and the most expensive one to date that I’ve completed on Betty, my 2020 Ford Transit self-converted campervan.
