  • I began the conversion of my minivan in summer 2019. I made many modifications since then. This RV is build for one person. I will do mainly road trips. I intend to go all around America with it. It have a lot of storage space, running water, fridge, shower (outside), portable toilet, guitar, electrical bike, and many ideas not seen on others conversions.
    I design and make many parts with my 3D printer, and with my knowledge in electronic, I made a very confortable mini RV. No hole as been made. I use hot glue and 5min epoxy sometime. It's possible to remove it with near no mark.
    I found my inspiration in Eric conversion videos found on RUclips. He have now many videos explaining how he converted his van. He is another French Canadian From Quebec like me.

    What sets him apart from most DIY’ers is that every modification was done cleanly, like factory made. 😊

    Great video, love your build out. I especially like the creative use of household items such as the sink and it has a nice finished look. Your design of the pull out tray is the best I've seen for a chest refrigerator, no digging under the bed or cluttering the floor.

  • @mjremy2605
    @mjremy2605 8 месяцев назад +1

    This is one of the best minivan builds I have seen, similar to Eric's. I like the one person concept with slimmer bed. The fact you can fit a folding bike is astounding!
    The design of the bed, the cabinets, the rollout bike rack, the mini sink, all very nicely done. The rear kitchen, pull out table, are really functional and very well done.
    The power grid is excellent for this tiny camper. I do think you would benefit from a solar panel on roof. Plus you can hang an awning on it and make more space in the van.
    With regard to the toilet, look up how the Trelino is made and copy it. This is a German toilet - around $300 - and true composting style. The benefit is that the #1 liquids don't mix with #2, and you have capacity for a few days without emptying it. It also makes a stool to sit on. Use horse bedding pelletsas it is compressed wood so highly absorbent.
    The basement drawer system is genius! Look at all that space, wow! An absolutely beautiful campervan, and this was a most enjoyable tour! Thank you!

    Love it! For the layout you used, it’s the Best use of the [storage space blocked by the bed being in couch mode] to have the ebike there. Also like your control panels & copious use of computer fans. (I run those fans in my home fridge to distribute the chill evenly.)
