I heard you mentioned she was a doctor! She’s so smart! This is the perfect solution for so many problems!! She can legit park the car outside the hospital and take her breaks there instead of an on call room when she’s on long duties!! I wish I had one of these babies for med school now! I’d live in the parking lot so I wouldn’t have to waste time travelling home and can study more!!!
TheGreenSkulls 9 years ago Well living in a van is very smart and saves money.
@TheGreenSkulls 9 years ago
Ummmh, maybe because becoming a doctor IS hard ?
Word.
@TheGreenSkulls 9 years ago skulls but no brain?
@TheGreenSkulls 9 years ago Lmao!! So many rich people live in vans to have luxuries on the go. Saving money isn't the only goal. Some people want to travel and be next to nature. Critically thinking isn't your strong point...
Bathroom = Legit
No Bathroom = rolling grossness.
You guys are hands down, the most talented conversion artists of all time.
Best design so far in this size Van....
Suuuuperb....
A doctor living in a van. Imagine how much money she's gonna save omg!
I know right! She might actually be able to pay off her student loans before retirement
And it’s PERFECT when you’re on 36hr duties cos u can take your nap there on your breaks instead of an uncomfortable on-call room!!
@@samantha.mariam Ohh that's actually a good point.
@@samantha.mariam In most of the hospitals I've worked at have comfortable rooms, better than the van
Kenny _Needs_Money oh that’s good to know! I guess this is good if you just want that added privacy. I might be doing a few rotations overseas - particularly in the Philippines so something like this may be handy for that
I love how you “hid” the ac unit.....beautiful job!!!
Thank you! Ryan, our electrician, has great attention to detail!
Genius AC hack.
@@FreedomVans what is the brand of the A/C and how long will it last on the battery bank? Thanks
I've seen a lot of your projects and each iteration is spectacularly finished and so uniquely customised with such warm, inviting and "homey" spaces.
You are crushing what the large commercial retrofitters are manufacturing. Typically their products look cheap and quintessentially 'RV styled' with generic and cheap looking layouts and finishes. Looking 'RVesque' is anathema to any modern vanlife designer and you are the best out there at the moment (in my humble opinion!).
So, thank you for posting your incredible work. I think dismantling the typically hideous shell of the AC unit was inspired thinking and is a great example of the detail you engender in each conversion and why your company is producing such fabulous builds. Your choice of quality fabrics, cutting edge design aesthetics and beautiful timbers sets the bar so high it renders the retrofitters who manufacture choosing to use cheap veneers, particle board, synthetic fabrics and ugly plastic finishes hopelessly outclassed.
Well done.
Thank you so much for your kind words! This comment made our day :) - The Freedom Vans Team
Could not agree more!
I’ve wanted to setup a RV conversion business for years, now I’m worried there are too many experts out there haha. Although to begin with my own, I can’t even seem to find an affordable sprinter
Best van conversions on RUclips
You are too kind, thank you!!
I am convinced the same. Have to better understand the pricing is all
I love all your builds but this one is perfect. I especially am in love with the way the air conditioner was hidden. I think all builds will conceal the air unit after seeing this. I love it!!
Thanks so much! We appreciate the feedback :)
its always great to see the owners take delivery !! the wonder and awe in their faces speaks volunmes !! great work guys :)
I really like the "stolen space" behind the bathroom to make a place of work. That makes two separated areas. Really nice...
Very pro job! Congratulations on a job well done. Nice to know there are folks that do an excellent job of van builds.
You guys are so creative. Every van is unique and user friendly while not gimmicky.😉
Your clients they really love it...it shows to their faces
Jeff Army seeing our clients reactions is super rewarding!
This is actually a very functional design, very well thought out. It's similar to what I want in a van. I love the front work area, it's big enough to be fully functional but doesn't take up much space. It's nice to have a separate dining area from your sleeping area, so you can leave the bed set up if you choose and still have a place to eat. work, read, etc. I also like van layouts that have the bathroom right behind the driver and keeps the rest of the walls open for windows. The downside to more windows is less privacy for stealth camping and more challenging thermal control, but it is nice being able to look out in all directions.
I wonder what is better a hanging closet or a drawer for clothes and just ironing it.
Gosh you guys complete others visions so beautifully! You all must be so proud of being able to deliver what is surely a life changing risk for some people. I love watching what your able to bring together and help dreams come true. The tours are excellent too. Keep up the great work 🤗
Thank you so much for the positivity and love that you bring to our channel!
What a beautiful van. Love the placement of the bathroom and the workspace behind the driver's seat! Nice job!
While van life really isn't for me (kinda old & enjoy a bit more space), I absolutely love the engineering & craftsmanship that these van builds have.
LITERALLY... doctors without borders!
I wanna buy this and live in it its by far the most amazing things i've ever seen!!
That design is brilliant!! Such great use of space...the dresser area is humongous and its just so clean and spacious and classy looking. 3 suggestions: 1 That teeny sink is going to get old fast! You have room for a nice roomy one! Put a cutting board over it to reclaim the space when you aren't cooking! You could also do a nicer sized induction burner that tucks away when not in use. 2 skylight would be nice! Helps when you want a view and some airflow without compromising privacy. 3 need a custom bug screen to go across the back door! Brings in the perfect weather for dining or sleeping! It doesn't have to be a permanent install! Some just roll up and velcro into place. This person is going to have a great time on the road. Sounds like she's doing some volunteer doctoring...we can pray for her safety and many travel blessings!
Lethia Page I agree with some of the things you pointed out, bigger sink, can’t wash dishes in that small of sink.
And needing a bug screen for the back and sliding door on the side. They actually now make bugs screens that roll out and away like the shower door.
But me personally I have a induction cooktop now that can be put away, I prefer a gas/propane cooktop. I just feel more in control with that than the induction that I can’t set the exact temperature I want because it is programmed to certain temps.
As for a skylight, I would want a fantastic/max fan so I could suck air in or push air out which they’re also good to use while cooking.
Anyways just thought I would share my thoughts with you. Hope you don’t mind or take offense by it.
Hugs from Texas
@@BeccaBullard8 of course there's no offense to be taken! I have never used induction by they sound like a great space saver. I didn't know they were harder to manage. You can also just buy a hotplate, single or double ceramic burner just like any electric stove but camp stoves are good too! Heck if I was travelling I would just pull over and use a jetboil or make a little campfire or grill in a park as much as possible...just to keep cooking smells out of the van. You also don't see too many microwaves in vans...maybe that's how this person plans to feed herself! I'm in Texas too
I really like this conversion. I havent seen many that I think I could stay in, but I could easily live in this one.
I like how you explain everything, it is very clear that i understand everything, including the dc/battery, and i love the layout, its not too dark and not too congested and very functional, no hassle..
It's beautiful. Finally, a builder that knows what they're doing.
And knows how to charge! 80k . I fail to see where the money is. Although beautiful as it is.
This is a design i can live with...ive been watching heaps of vid and this is a top 3 design i love!
This is my favorite among your videos
I am a doctor as well and i love the outlines and designs very much
And the DOPE way the AC is hidden, for superb use of the space!👏👏👏
Awesome design. Simple & elegant, as well as functional.
I love how your vans look different everytime to suit clients need. Tbis is my favorite, so far. 😊
The woodworking and everything is just marvelous.
Hi Kyleigh...
.... Let me tell You!
You're a Natural on Camera!
Your Sincerity and Kindness comes across so Clearly!
.... Love All the work You and Your Whole team do!!!!!
YOU GUYS ARE TERRIFIC!
AND YOU ALSO HAVE EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
... I CALLED WITH QUESTIONS, AND HANAH WAS SUPER NICE!
.... HOPE TO MAKE IT UP TO WASHINGTON SOMETIME TO GO SEE FREEDOM VANS!👍
🤗HI FROM L.A.!🤗
BEST REGARDS!
G.
This is my fav build ever seen.
Angela Conley awesome!
Beautiful build and design, of course I would change a couple of things but I love the light cabinets to the dark ceiling and counter tops.
They make great vans. She’s also a cutie pie.
This van is amazing! I love how thrilled the couple is with it at the end!
This is the perfect build...........i can't find any faults...i completely love it.
Love the build for the most part. Love the shower and it’s placement. For me I like a permanent bed raised in the back of the van. Then I’d have more storage space. But, I know that you built the van with the client’s needs in mind. Good Job!!
This is a gorgeous camper conversion!
This is the BEST conversion I have seen. I LOVE EVERYTHING about it. I would so live in this with my dogs and travel the world. Thank you for sharing. I was really wondering what the cost is for something like this?
Hi. You can visit the links under the description. I also liked the way they build this camper. How I wish I could travel comftably with this.
They mentioned in another comment 80,000
This is a very practical, aesthetically beautiful, well thought out, and superbly executed project. Real estate management is awesome. And a cute way to present it. We'll done.
I have been looking for the perfect layout, not a doctor but plan on working out of my van. The best thing is it gives me the three things I wanted most, dinette, shower/toilet, and bed. I couldn't figure out how to do it. Just got my 170" 4x4 today and now I know how I want to build it out. Curious as to the cost. I am guessing, 40-50K. I hope I am way high. Beautiful job folks, really elegant engineering solutions!
Another piece of art work by you guys!
👍👍
A doctor working out a van! I love that so much
I really want to know more about her, to be honest.
Another great conversion. Quality and function of your work is as good as any I come across. Thanks for sharing
Best van conversion I've seen yet. Excellent job!!
This design is awesome, very elegant and well planned.👍🏼👍🏼👏💕 and if I were the owner of any RV, i would also like to put some divider between a driver seat and the rest of the van for some added protection from any intruders, as well as grills for windows that in case they will break the glass, the window is still impervious...nicely done! Kudos to builder and owner...love it!
Does the grills go on the inside or the outside ?
Lucia C. Either way, as long as it is pretty much solid and at the same time does not affect the aesthetic purpose of the van...😊
This is by far one of the best designs you have. I really love your hydraulic dinette that converts into a bed in seconds. Others have to move that big chucks of wood and slot it to make the bed. You just push it down and it is done. Also, you have created a small working station out of the driver seat side. This is the first time I saw that (for the layouts with the bath shower right behind the driver seat, that is). And it is cool.
That said, I would hope to see the kitchen move out a bit. I understand your client might like to have a full entry. But It really helps to have that extra foot out. So you could have a full sink and also a full cook top. (Again it might be your client demands but I am just talking about design here). Right now, I feel like your sink and cook top are a bit flimsy and tiny. It might be good for your traveling doctor but for a van home life, it is a negative.
I like that massive counter top area on the other side of the van. It gives out so much space and breathing room to the van. Loving it. Many other designs stick a lot of overhead cabinets in that area, but that really suffocates the van! So it is very clever to leave out the overhead space and just have a luxurious counter top for all sorts of home decoration. Very smart!
This has to be my favorite on this channel
Love the shower design.
This is my dream van!!!! Holy moly!!!! But I need the bed to go from front to back! One other design I have to have is the batteries placed ‘not’ under the bed. Dislike thinking I’m soooo close to them!
Wonder what the cost would be on a van like this!???? This is totally out of this Nonny’ price range I’m sure!!!!
Wishing the new doctor many happy miles with fun adventures!!!!
Really like this build. Many functional touches that are great. For myself, I’d like a larger fridge/freezer, and I’m not big on gas, but I do like the set up. Love, love, love the A/C. Workspace at the driver’s seat is brilliant. A few tweaks and it would be perfect for me.
One of the best layouts I’ve seen!
That is super simple but soooooo functional
A doctor on the road to treat van-lifers. Good idea! Instant house-calls!
That modified AC panel is brilliant
This is my favorite. I am copying this.
When a van has a better House than you *sigh*
It's so pretty guys. ♥️ It makes me motivated to do this and live in a van since I like to be "ALL ME".
Price please. You could be my go to builder when I am ready.
Look at their website
Saludos. Deberian traerlas a la isla de puerto rico para la venta. Me encanto
The website doesn’t answer your question, merely offering a range, “Long wheel bases (170 Sprinter or Long/Extended Ford Transit) generally range between $45k-$100k for a full conversion.” I too am interested in the cost, as this is a terrific build.
Hi, thanks for watching the video! Since all of our conversions are custom, we have a wide range of pricing (as someone mentioned, $45,000 - $100,000 is typically the range for a full conversion, depending on material choices and wheelbase). This particular build was $80,000.
@@FreedomVans Y'all did a great job. I like this style. Hopefully if i'm in a position to do something like this in the future I will have your work in mind.
Wow.....bathroom ,shower,office space😃perfect van!!👍
There are some really nice design features in this van! You didn't mention window shades and i would have liked a little more detail on the electrical system. The pickup day footage was a nice bonus!
i need one NOW. beautiful.
I'm so looking forward to one. Traveling as a inside adjust this will be perfect!! I wonder how much that cost??? With the cost of the van, the the cost of the custom built, would it just be more cost effective just to buy one????
"...to 'entertain' your friends." Very original phrase.
Excellent design- You NEVER let down:) WHAT IS THE 12 volt AC brand?
Nicely done. You guys are really top notch. That is the best design in a modern van I’ve seen so far. Is it possible to include a link to show a price range for your work?
I’m obsessed with this van!! 🤩
Us too!
DC means direct current, mean 12volt in this case ☮️✌️🗽🇺🇸love your wood work, very professional
Finally a non-RV manufacturer van build that does not look like a "Home Made" van build!!! Very smart design with the A/C system taken apart and made to look built in! Unlike many others who are throwing together a home made build then trying to sell for "Mainstream Manufacturer" prices, this one actually could pass as an Airstream or Roadtrek which is a huge compliment!!
It’s not technically “home made” since it’s made by a company that builds vans. Plus, if you can afford to spend $80k why would you diy it any way?
@@NicCanDance Anyone can form a company and say they build vans...They are not on the same level or even close to a mainstream RV manufacturer such as Roadtrek or Airstream...this brand does not show up in any NADA guides either..no bank would ever loan on one of these vans as it will always have the book value of the chassis alone...So any buyer to buy would have to be a cash buyer, or utilize some other form of signature loan which is possible but I think a person that can afford to pay $80K would go with a mainstream van such as AIrstream for the resale value..it would be unwise to buy a van with no book value..it would have to be a niche buyer who buys these...yes they are nice and well made but in a banks eyes or anyone that is money savvy, it will always be custom or home made van...until it is in the NADA book! I do wish this company success and hope they one day are a mainstream RV manufacturer!! Airstream and other's including Roadtrek (Home and Park INC) all started like this in a garage or small building..
Chris Reed my point was that it’s not going to look “home made” because it wasn’t. People with actual knowledge, skill, experience, and access to good materials built it. Unlike the actual home made vans that are built in people’s backyards and Home Depot parking lots.
Best van tour ever!! Everything is so well thought out.😊
Love the van and couple in the end 🤗
Absolutely beautiful. Only thing I would change is replace the microwave with a hanging closet. 🥰
Beautiful build! Would love to know more about the battery powered AC unit.
Yes please, do tell more details about battery powered AC!!
Hi. Visit their links under the description. They will be glad to entertain you with your queries.
I loved watching the Pick Up Day!
Really liked this one. Have seen soooo many but this is beautiful!
Finally got to this video as it has been in my “Watch Later” for forever. Very nicely done. Also, you put the links in but never told us who the wifi ranger is made by.
So well done! The only things I would do differently would be to have a stainless steel galley counter and a fiberglassed or molded shower, so no grout to maintain. Oh, and I didn't see any space to hang clothes? I would want hooks in the shower to hang wet clothes or other items.
Bathroom can have some ventilation also to Dry Clothes. That may be very important when traveling in a van.
Best van conversion I've seen.
Incredible build.
I really love this van. It's really beautiful. I like the colors. The counter tops but I am curious why you didn't match up the extended counters?? They aren't even the same width???
But they are beautiful.
And the desk area is really nice.
And it's nice to see such big drawers for their clothes.
It's really classy looking. 💟
This looks so amazing. The only thing that I would be uncomfortable with is the restroom. I imagine a spread of germs since you’re showering over where you potty lol.
Violett Reyes you can take the toilet out if you want lol
Jordann Owings I didn’t know you can remove them
@@777violett Composting toilets are the essential in van life, cause it not only saves space but also removes the hassle of dealing with poops cause it can simply eliminate the smell, dehydrate and convert into compost.
Don’t worry. They would be only your germs.
In other countries like Japan they have what is called "wet bathrooms" that are very small and have the sink and toilet in the shower, due to many apartments being extremely tiny. So van life is no different really. If you keep your space clean and clean up your bathroom regularly then this bathroom shouldn't be a problem for germs. It just seems weird when you're not use top having to use every inch of space to maximum efficiency
I like it amazing I'm from New York City and we like things like that keep up the good work
they hydraulic table is genious!
If you extended the kitchen half way into the door there would be space to put the toilet under the cabinet and roll it out when needed. Lots more shower space and cabinet space as well. Could of still retained the flip up counter top as well!
It was built the way the person who funded it wanted. She obviously didn't want her toilet in a cabinet and wanted it behind closed doors. Makes since to have it behind doors especially if you're traveling with a partner or friend.
The push down hydraulic is the best bed outside of the Murphy bed.
Clients are clearly thrilled!
This is almost the same layout I sketched out for my dream van lol. Love this build, wish you guys weren’t on the other side of the country! Maybe you could expand and have an east coast company too? 😁
one day ;)
I'm a Doctor from India and i work in various parts of the country in a year. This would be perfect for me. Especially on night duties when I'm on call and have to share a room with 6 other people some of who snore..! I wish I could get someone to do it in India
Thank you for being a young woman who dresses classy and modest when making your videos! For some strange reason, other young women who make videos on their van conversions can sometimes dress very skanky (very skin-tight leggings and skimpy tops with sometimes no bra - gross!!) It just makes them look cheap and insecure. But again, thanks for being a class act! Nice van too!!
Wondering if you could incorporate a seat belt for the toilet, just in case you had a third passenger? Absolutely Perfect~! Wonder if you could place runners over the bed to hold a removable bed in case you had a child visit?
Fantastic build!
What is the name of the shower enclosure system (brand)? I love the rolling shower door, very practical and good use of space.
Ricko571 That is a Nautilus shower door.
www.stoett.com/product/nautilus-67x36-square-rv-shower-door-opaque-plain-nickel/
What an incredible good use of space! Love it!
I'm amazed by the work space! Great job!
I love your builds they are just amazing, practical and spacious
A well thought-out design, in general it is a very good build!!
Katerina Luna diCamella thank you!
Voice is so soothing it almost put me to sleep or it might just be because i didn't get enough sleep.
How do you tile in the shower? It's very nice. Will the grout and tile crack?
Wow , amazing build as always!!!!
Thank you! That's such a sweet comment :)
Perfect in my opinion
WOW..that’s my kinda van right there 😁👍
