    I have been watching van builds for years (currently building my own) and no one does a better job of building a van or designing a layout than this channel.
    Always a thumbs up 👍

    We have a 2021 Coachmen Beyond 22C which is similar to this transit. I love your overhead compartment over the rear doors for longer items! That and the kitchen counter extensions would make our van (that we LOVE) even more efficient. Great looking van you got there!

    Outstanding! We're just finishing our 350 High-Roof Extended conversion. Been working on it for 14 months. Wish I had seen this video before we started. We would have done things differently. One thing we still need is an entry step for the sliding door. Yours looks perfect. Would you please tell us who makes it and where you bought it. And did you have to have a custom mounting bracket made? Thanks.

    I’m surprised to see DC charging by the dinette/bed, but no USB?

    • @ErikLokkenNRVC
      @ErikLokkenNRVC  3 года назад +2

      Different devices require different amperages to charge, a flush mount plug can be inserted if all you want to use it for is charging a phone. I like to keep it flexable. Like someone may have to sleep with a Cpap machine. Thanks Erik

    Some really good ideas in this van build. I like the lower shelves that fold down for extra space in the kitchen, and I love the fridge and freezer - a lot of space! Thanks!

  • @dt719
    @dt719 3 года назад +8

    This is a great build. I like the idea of using engine heat to heat water. Great idea to just run the engine a bit before a shower rather than installing complex propane or electric.

    I've been looking at hundreds of van builds and this one is pretty close to perfect! Minus the cost of the van itself, what is a price range for something like this and could you do this same build in a Ram Promaster?

    Currently in the market for a transit.
    I was considering getting a passenger. Too many windows for my liking.
    Was thinking of adding a second row, shower, fridge, and full size bed. May have to sacrifice the shower.

  • @civicsjuly2012
    @civicsjuly2012 2 года назад +1

    Great Build. This is the first transit conversion I've seen with a passenger van other than the one my husband and I are converting. Does it have mosquito screens for those back popout windows. We live in Ontario and have so many mosquitos, for the life of me I can't figure out how to make window screens which incorporate the opening mechanism on the window. Any ideas?

    • @ErikLokkenNRVC
      @ErikLokkenNRVC  2 года назад

      It did not have screens. I used screen and magnets on the outside when i tested it

  • @johnettew3957
    @johnettew3957 3 года назад +2

    This van has all a nomad could wish for. It's also very beautiful with the matching wood grain continuing on the lift ups. I was pleasantly surprised to see reversed struts over the stove for reachable items while cooking. The freezer on bottom of refrigerator is nice too. This is a dream mobile home van; however, I am sure these beautiful elements are all very costly. It is possible that we could incorporate a few ideas in our DIY builds.

  • @davidr9876
    @davidr9876 Год назад

    Nice build! I see the shower as a huge space that's largely wasted since it's only used a small % of the time. It would be easy to put a closet rod across the top and also another rod holder that drops down an inch from the van ceiling. Then when you want to use the shower or toilet you just grab the rod inside the shower and move your hanging closet to the hall, or behind the passenger seat, wherever you decide to install the secondary set of rod holder brackets. Then when done, you just move the rod back to the shower. It takes 10 seconds. And that way the shower space is serving double duty as a large hanging locker.
