@@HappyKhamperdid you buy the van already lifted or did you do it yourself?

@@Oz_Nino thanks

@@mkventures5259 thank you! We hope to go back many more times

Yep. We have since changed the layout. Check out our latest van tour video.

@@elpesolondon7469 we posted a short of how to set it up here: ruclips.net/user/shortsvQU7gvaX8Zc?si=8Ge4JxbcWSs-wgrH

@HappyKhamper i was looking forward to a how to build if you could do a video on h own it was built that'll would help as well

@@elpesolondon7469here’s the most detailed video we have on it. Let us know if you have any questions. We can also break down the build more too ruclips.net/video/Rvp6UkLGXb4/видео.htmlsi=Cn_K6ceRf-PTufoE

😂😂😂 those rivets were a pain in the arse

@@Filmedbyak thank you, we’ve since switched to a heated blanket instead because of those things.

@HappyKhamper nice! I do enjoy a mr buddy heater but the condensation can be an issue and it almost ended my existence near the grand canyon except my Carbon detector saved my life.

@@Filmedbyakscary! Good thing you had the carbon detector. We thought about the smaller heater too. Luckily we don’t camp in the cold often

@@tweq91 you can buy one here www.ironcloudmetalworks.com/shop/chevrolet-astro-gmc-safari-1995-2005-passenger-seat-swivel-1073?category=3 🙂

Sweet! Hopefully you got some useful information from our tour.

@@HappyKhamper Absolutely! It was especially enlightening to compare your first van tour with this one. I think the slide out bed is going to be a feature I go for initially.

It also helps that we don't live in our van. Did you end up redoing the van or just got yourself a new one? 😅

@@HappyKhamper new one haha, was too much mold and rot

We have a 3 inch lift

@@thisoledad1946 thanks! I got a headlight cleaning kit, but haven’t gotten around to it.

Is this how we'll get kidnapped? Lol. Where's it going to be?

Thanks for watching 😊

One side is beadboard, the other side with the wallpaper is 1/4" ply I believe

It's about 5ft 7 or 8 inches. This was a twin sized mattress trimmed to fit length wise. I'm 5ft 5 and it was good enough to also sideways. Was too snug and uncomfortable when my partner and I both slept on it. I saw others put a full sized mattress there to give them more space to sleep more comfortably.

@@-VanLife4ever- it’s called beadboard and we bought it in a 4’x8’ sheet

@@law40177 5’8” in this layout. Ended up being too short for us both tho so we changed it

We both fit, but Honnie, who is 5'5" wasn't able to stretch out at all so it wasn't as comfortable for her.

@@OutdoorsybyNature thank you! We love our van and it runs great. We completely rebuilt the front end, some of the rear, and engine though 😅. Totally worth it, we’ve heard of these vans running for 300,000 miles

@@HappyKhamper I love Astro vans - especially the ones with the Dutch rear doors like you have. My fear is buying one for the overinflated price they're going for now and having to sink several thousand more into it just to get it running well. In this economy, I can't make it make sense. ☹A girl can still dream, though!

@@OutdoorsybyNature 100% I plan to do a video on all the costs we put into the van. We saved some money doing work ourselves. But overall we put about as much as we bought the van for into it for repairs.

@@OutdoorsybyNature highly recommend sending the car in for a pre-sale inspection with a local shop. Depending on the shop, you can get a list of things you'd need fixed and an estimate as well. Then you can use it as leverage to lower the price or determine if it's worth the buy. An inspection is about $150 but varies depending on where you live.

@@HappyKhamper I'll definitely keep an eye out for it!

@@professorjedi1024 thanks for watching and good luck on your build!

@@artgoat this project made me annoyed at drilling any metal lol

@@yukimasaheppe thank you

@@DrifterVans thanks! We’ve made a ton of changes to the build, checkout our latest Van tour

@@yukimasaheppe thanks for watching 🙂

@@SirPractical the goal is to get a big metal number that goes up over the grill too.

@@elizabethcomstock1699 thank you!

@@HighDesertSavage thank you!

@@gregorymcfarland8413 thanks for watching! Honnie really is creative with storage, she says “everything has its place, everything has its space”

@@walnut_trail_farm thanks! we have the journeys off-road lift kit (2-5”)and tire size is 265/70R16. We got the van already lifted and with the tires. We’re thinking about downsizing the tires because they rub in the front.

@@SeizeTheAdventureCo we learned the hard way! Glad we made the change tho

Thanks for the sub!

How many inches is the lift? Perfect for what I want to do with mine. Tire size too pleeeeease.

@@ReduxGarage we have the journeys off-road lift kit (2-5")and tire size is 265/70R16. We got the van already lifted and with the tires. We're thinking about downsizing the tires because they rub in the front.

lol sometimes! They like being in nature too 😂

It's very secure! The biggest risk is someone rear-ending us. At one point we have it locked to the van too because we didn't want anyone to steal it cause it's so cute.

@@tanyaLooking_InTheRear-View this was a twin width wise, tight but big enough for us. It ended up being too short tho so we rebuilt a slide out bed

@@tanyaLooking_InTheRear-View Yeahp! It helps make it a lil more cozy inside

It was about 5'8" across. Ended up being a bit too short so we switched the layout. I'm posting an updated van tour tomorrow if you wanna see the new bed in detail!

It's a twin mattress. We had to cut a little bit off one of the sides to fit. However, I've seen people fit a full sized mattress here. More space would be more comfortable if you're a bit taller and needs to sleep sideways. I'm 5ft 5" and it was a little snug for me. I was able to fit but it wasn't very comfortable with two people on a twin.

Isn't it great!

@@Ms-Dee thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback!

Hello and thanks for watching! We just filmed an updated van tour, mostly interior, but this is a great idea. We’ll put a video together for the outside mods soon. Good luck with your build btw 🙂
