That’s a good work. But did you consider CO emitted from propane heater inside your van?

I've got a 17 ford transit it 250 ok here knowledge, t a company do conversion thdey enlarge the van both side 4 " to get 8" more room total. So dont panel loseing 4" both side using the metal column, make use of it sand sin 8" of living space . Plan this way, as many van furnished look wild open empty space. It matter. How. The back tire fender rest a 6" long board on it, then measure a can good high, so iv got 3 shelves of can goods 2 side by side, above the left back storage but I can pull the upper panel off, the center top my cooking oil etc and in Tupperware I can seal about 3 of them then my stove center on van under it my portable Toilet slide under ( if you want it name ask best) and 6 gallon slim water them my 2,500. Recliner. On the passenger side other than the very front side door I've 2' storage on the ground like a huge coffin carpet cover black as that my couch , sl looking back it empty, yea for the ceiling only need the right side cut a ply wood in long half .cover it with wall carpet and angle it the top 3" down the bottom about 1 feet cut hole for access. I love the wide open feeling by not paneling and wasting 8" that Ian using for storage instead so it like a empty van open space wise , but fit the couch and refrig way on the back corner abd both door are useable to go out.

Thank you!

Should of showed the sliding window

Can't wait to get one!

You have much more patience than I do. What a fiddly, pain in the butt upgrade......but I am sure the results are worth it.

Enjoyed the video. I ordered my transit back in July, wishing they would start building it already lol

Another van idiot.

Quite the project. Thinking of undertaking this project this weekend!

Thanks so much for making this video. I've been worried about where to connect the ignition switch wire.

It's great seeing your problem solving process! thanks for another great video!

Unnecessary weight

I love the simple, easy way you explain the process. It makes things much more understandable for the layperson

I am not sure if the way I work is any better with the router. I usually cut with a saw to get the edge pretty close to the finished line. Then I make a template of what the shape will look like and use a flush trim bit using the template. I have real trouble controlling a router when using it to cut through a piece of wood, I find it is much easier just finishing off an edge.

Hi Guys! Thanks for all your videos! I am very interested in a video about altitude adjustment. I have the same heater and am about to go up to altitude don’t want to get clogged up!

How has that laminate floor held up? Are you glad you laid it before your cabinetry?

I really enjoyed this, great job guys.😊

Not sure why everyone uses tape and cuts on the outside. I did the template on the inside and cut from the inside out, no tape needed

So helpful to watch all these steps and considerations as I begin to plan out my own cabinetry. Thanks!

Really appreciate your series! The van looks great, keep going with the vids! 🙌👍

Awesome! I'm picking up my van Friday and have been thinking about layout and you have done what would work best for me! Thanks for the head start on the build. Great work!

Was there something already plugged in before you replaced it with the harness?

So fun to see the process like this!

I wish I saw this video a week ago 😢. It’s a lesson learned. I’ll watch the others before I do anymore wiring.

What screws did you guys use for pocket screws?

Very professional look you got at the end after all the struggle in the beginning 👏👏👏

Another solution I’ve seen was mounting the diesel tank under the front hood - I think that was on a sprinter though. Since I’m going to have propane for my stove, I am leaning towards a propane heater - 2 flammable elements in my van seem slightly more manageable than 3 😅. Any reason you chose diesel over propane? Is it less expensive to fuel or more efficient? Thanks! I’m really enjoying your build series! Happy travels!

Building upper cabinets that are flush and level seems like such a huge challenge! I’ve been tempted to buy a prebuilt solution from one of the vanlife companies (omg $1k!) but would much rather build my own. Y’all did great! Thank you for detailing your process and lesson learned! Very helpful!

Loved this ! Thank you soooooo much

New sub 🫶🏻 that mattress looks like cake 😂

Great video

Thanks for this video. I’ve seen a lot about swivel seats in a Ford Transit, but yours is the first to mention the cable and loosening it under the van.

Have you experienced condensation issues with your bump out window since you have direct contact wood to metal? I'm concerned with wood rot. Thanks.

Plus the gland was installed backwards. The gland should have been installed with the wires facing to the back

Canoso, deja hablar , o sos vos el que ganaste la medalla

If you had two CCP points, i believe the larger amp one is only live when the ignition is on. Would this be a good place for the D+ wire?

“How to fit a mattress dangerously in the van, ignoring all fire safety” 😢

That cheesecloth is the fire sock that protects you from melting to the bed in a fire! If you still have it, put it back on and sew it to fit.

Right on bro! I'm about the same height as you and always wondered if I would fit in a van. lol I would have cut the matress maybe half an inch smaller that way you would have room for the sheets and such

Your videos are my favorite for van conversion, and I am using them as start reference for planning my own build. I appreciate that you include the learning curves and less ideal situations. These videos are inciteful and very well thought out, I hope you both continue vlogging your journey. Thank you guys for all the help 🤗

I am in the designing/dreaming stage, while I search for a new/used Transit 144 WB HiRoof van … I am using the free sketch up and have bed, upper cabinets and utility (fridge, electrical) cabinet done. I just placed them in a 81” h x 70” w x 122” l box. Can you share your sketch up van so I can fit my current plan inside?

This video is so helpful. I'm building out a 2017 Promaster and it's been a slow and frustrating process so I really appreciate your video. Question - is there a reason why you guys bought the duplex 14awg wire and not the individual red and black 14 awg wires I've seen many people doing? Just curious because for me this wire stage is complicated to understand.

Excellent video!

I'm looking at ford transit but the width of the van is 178 cm only so not sure how I can fit side ways, even with the framed boxes in you'd still lose probably about 2 cm🙄

I knew I had bad vibes about this chick… then she put on the mask… 🙄 I knew it.

Do you have the 3D model available? As a place to start with a van build :)

Awesome video! Very helpful content and I love the lessons learnt section. ❤

Very nice and informative. I like the Transit, and you guys did a beautiful buildout. I look forward to your coming videos. One tip, is that if it charges at 60 Amps, you don't need to say "per hour." Amps is a rate. Charging at 60 Amps for 2 hours should put 120 Amp-hours into the battery. Or: 60A * 2h = 120Ah. FWIW, Watts is also a rate. Watts can be more useful, because our appliances are often rated in Watts. Like if I use a 1500W hairdryer (I wish I had that much hair!) for an hour, that would use up 1500Wh of battery capacity. We get Watts by multiplying Volts times Amps. So, similarly, if you charge at 60A at 12.8V for 2 hours you put 60A * 12.8V * 2h = 1536Wh into the battery.

I've seen some people use a relay connected to the C-33e port. So my question is do you not need one to make this work for the Renogy DC charger. Thanks!

I think it's dangerous to mount the breaker box so that the switches work backwards that is, flip down on, flip up off. It work for you, but imagine if you sell your van, and the new owners are used to the convention of up = on, down = off. Don't you see the potential problem? Also it's a good habit to NOT wear metallic jewelry when working on electrical. Good info on the actual wiring.
