We need more low roof van build videos! Not everyone can afford the high top. Thank you for this. Now I just need to see some indoor showers in low tops to see how viable that is.
If you want a higher top on a budget look at the Chevy Express 1500 conversion vans. I got a '98 with low miles earlier this year for $4000 and its a perfect size.
Really enjoyed the simple, somewhat modern design + the color scheme. There's definitely something to be said for doing a van build in a rugged, simple way. Sturdy, less to go wrong. 👍
Thanks for the feedback and kudos Letha! A cabinet could definitely go in that area, especially since it's not in an area to hit one's head. Although it is nice to leave that line of sight open when in the drivers seat so you can be checking for blind spots. Always a give a take with these!!
That’s the best conversion I’ve seen. Part camper van, part day coach. Well-done. The layout is unique. Your attention to detail is worth noting. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! Crazy, we have this van back in the shop for a remodel. Client had a high top put on so we are changing it up a bit!! Stay tuned and thanks for the comments!!
Wow, I wish you were not so far away!!! I have a Grand Caravan I want converted. I have watched many videos of conversions and yours is by far the best!!!! and LOVE the color!!!!
I've seen hundreds of van build videos, literally, this was well done and btw your great at narrating n your voice is easy to listen to, subscribed! Thx sir
Thank you so much for the inspiration this gives to people like me Fun to see what could be 😊 Very nice of you to take the time to show your amazing effort and designs This is honestly one of the best that I've seen for this type of van. Good job 🎉
As somebody who's going to converting an E250 cargo van I've been looking at a lot of e-series conversions. This is by far one of the nicest layouts, but functionally and visually. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome work! Can really tell you put a lot of effort into this. Love the layout too, it's so simple compared to a lot of builds, yet it still has a ton of storage and everything you would need. Definitely going to check out your other videos as well!
Thank you so much for this! I am currently shopping for a Ford Econoline to build myself. Well thought-out builds like this that are easy to follow are fantastic. Looks beautiful btw!
Simple but functional.. As I worked on too many that have 800lbs of wood in them. Before they even put anything in it.. Which will ruin the weight distribution and wear out they suspension..Sag the rear springs from being over weight..Why I changed my E-150 to E-250 springs.. I would also mention.. You can install two Group 34 batteries under the frame. On the Passenger side, under the sliding door. They are already to wire in the factory pigtail. So you can charge them while driving or running the engine. Once the starter battery reaches 12.6 volts...Ford sells the pigtail. The connectors are just above the coolant recovery bottle. It has a gray cap on it...Fuse box is ready for the relay and fuse.. As these vans were used as Ambulances. So Ford made them ready to convert.
Thanks! Unfortunately too much solid wood in these can be a bad thing but still trying to find that balance between natural products and longterm reliability/stability.
very helpful video. Loved the extra touches like the added storage near the sink & the overhang storage near the foot step! Thanks. Hope you keep the videos coming on your future builds :)
Thanks. The cost wasn't too crazy but then again I was just starting out. In the end all that matters is that the customer is loving it and using it all the time and all over the place!!
Beautiful wood work! Nice job! -- on the pull up tray on the side of your cabinet, I put a backing piece on mine, and a 1x3 leg that drops down, with a padding. and that way, when you pull up the - useable top, for a stove or such, you got a real secure support! Liked it when you mentioned the cubby hole to pull yourself up! I am working on that problem right now! My health deteriated and I don't have my balance, and strength to do what I use to do. One other thing I just did today, I wanted more floor space by my door. So I put a 3/4" Ply piece on the bottom of the door. Then put 2 heavy duty brackets on that , with a - like a shelf on that which is even with the floor, and now I have that for setting my chair on, as before it would go into the well/ step! Keep it up! Like your work! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the feedback and info on your van. The table that I showed ended up not being stout enough for the client so I reengineered it to use some locking arms. Further, the client wanted to have a place to set up her stove at the back of the van so we made a drop down table out back as well. Always evolving the design as it sounds like you are as well. Keep it up!!
Roof vent and indoor shower and about 3 canbat lithium batteries and some solar panels then your all set as well as roof top solar and storage areas . Otherwise best build I have seen for a econoline without a high top
Thank you Jason! Yes, it is my favorite but unfortunately don't get to use it too much with the vans. There were some issues using this wider grain of fir but all in all it has held up quite well for the client.
Great job! I have a suggestion: make a work or dinning space adding a foldable table attached to the left side of the cabinet, opening to the right side of the bench!
A beautiful build. Between extravagant and utilitarian. I have an E-250, no high top and not extended. Being about 6 feet. I need a cargo van and a camper at the same time, so considering mounting my 28" bed frame laterally and folding it against the side when I need the cargo room.
Thank you Ed! Yeah, when needing a full length bed it definitely changes the layout around. Sounds like you have a good bead on it and shoot me some photos when you are done!
Finally someone with some "Common Sense" and "Skills," it a great combination! I hard to understand how the RV Industry plans on staying in business, with the quality they are producing and at the ridiculous prices they are getting! Some people are spending astronomical amounts of money on Class B's these days, some over $300,000.00!
Thanks for the kudos Pat! The RV industry is definitely an interesting one and we are truly hoping to bring a fresh take on what is possible with these conversions.
I'm just blown away by not only the detail but all the amenities you put into this Econoline. Who says you need a high roof to have a useable camper van
All the years I’ve been watching these van builds I’ve never come across yours. Just subscribed. Beautiful job. I’m amazed at these much older vans with so many miles being built out. I’m shopping now for a used van, and see tons of Eseries out there running into 300,000 miles!😲 So, May end up with one myself, don’t like V8 gas consumption but looking more for a GMC Savannah or Express. Suspension 250 or more for better weight handling. Thanks for showing your excellent work.
Hi, if you don't like the v8 , it may cost you more in power and how much you can put into your buildout! So, sometimes it is a tradeoff. I downsized from a 32 ft. Class A, to a Shuttle Bus, - which I didn't finish, to a 97 E-350 1 ton cargo van, with a V-10. It had 273,000 on it when I bought it. It should go to around 425,000 miles or more. But I have the power to pull my 4 Wheel Dr. Jeep! Which is also my storage right now. When I'm parked , I can use my van or Jeep. I get about 10 MPG. Like I said, it can be a tradeoff, but everyone has different needs! Good luck, and it doesn't have to be new to last a long time! RD on the road!
New sub here, currently converting my E250 for weekend adventures. Your video must be the most inspirational one out there! A low-roof, swb E150; yet its the most wonderful place there IS... not sure whether to call you an engineer or an artist! Thank you.
I've often thought you could find a skylight that would work for people under 5'6" so they could stand up inside a regular size van to change clothes and cook!
I can tell you from experience. High Tops add 1000lbs...I can stand up in it. If I'm close to the front at 5'7"....Was it worth it? Only if you update the rear springs to E-250 springs. As these Econolines eat Front Pads even using Factory Ford Heavy duty pads. And Don't use anything but Ford Front Rotors. As the off brand ones warp within 500 miles...Then you get the death wobble. That scares the shit out of you..Getting off the highway...
@@forayconcept3389 Never have I seen a Van like mine, super rare I think. Most Dodge campers are the 250. So ya to keep it alive is something, already had the motor rebuilt at $4000. Basically main idea was to insulate properly (using rockwool and reflectix) and remove old carpet (to replace with Thermal underlay and vinyl). Installing new led lights inside and 12v vent/fan. Be great when it's done. Maybe I can show it sometime!!! Cheers 🍻
Amazing work, attention to detail and craftsmanship (especially the wood). I'm not the biggest fan of the customer's choice of green, but this is a great design and I'd live in this van anytime! Congrats on the build 👍 (I'm sure another customer choice, but low profile solar panels on top would be nice).
Thanks for the kudos! At the time, the customer opted out of solar for both height clearance and cost but since we've added a 100W flexible solar panel to the roof.
Thanks. While I understand, investing into an econoline platform isn't the worst idea though IMO. Plus, it isn't as expensive as you might think for a basic conversion like this. Cheers!
Thanks and go for it! I started with a Transit that I converted while I used it for side work and travel. That started conversations which then led to my first builds for others.
I really like the way you built the cabinetry with no handles needed, good for things to be smooth when in a tight space where you bump into everything. Though in the future.. OPEN THE DAMN FRIDGE! LOL geez we who are still deciding which fridge to purchase, would love to see what the inside can hold and mention the model or size Truck Fridge.. beautiful build.
Sorry for not showing the inside!!! Its a TF65 which is their DC only version. Here's a link to it: www.truckfridge.com/product/semi-truck-and-commercial-truck-refrigerator/
It will run for a few days off a charged battery without any inputs but you are correct, would be much better with a solar panel added. We are adding a 100W flexible panel to the roof and that should keep it going non-stop with no issues.
The customer's garage door header was only a few inches above the roof of the van so we couldn't put panels or a fan up top. After this video was filmed, we did install a 100W flexible panel on the roof that keeps her battery topped off and expands her off grid capability. Thanks for the question!
Thank you so much! At the upper section it is about 20" which is just big enough to clear a full size hanger and at the lower section it is about 24" deep. The drawers are in front of the fuel filler so they aren't full depth and this void also offered a good place to run wiring behind through.
Agreed, the plugs are not in the best location and most builds now have them on the driver side, somewhere between the front and rear fender so that you can have a visual that it is/isn't plugged in before driving off. Stealth wasn't of concern on this build so we weren't worried about that but to your point, if stealth was needed, it would be better to undermount the plugs. Thanks for watching the video and the comments!
Thank Kirk! She's left town every chance she gets. There were a few latches that needed upgrading and some tweaks to the design she wanted but otherwise it's been a great solution for her!
Thank you! I hope to put a video out soon showing the inside of a fridge that is just like the one in this van. Should give you an idea of what it looks like. Feel free to email me and I can send you a link to the actual fridge.
If I could get something like this that would hold a very small office area with two side-by-side monitors and a computer the size of a book, I drive all over the country and just pretend I’m back at home working each day

@@JZA_007 thank you, but those are not very stealthy. I'm hoping to find something that will just look like a work van from the outside.
@@breadfan_85 true.... i'm mostly camping or out of any built up areas
This is by far, the finest econoline build I've seen on youtube. The attention to detail, and the overall layout is FANTASTIC.
Thank you so much for watching and giving your feedback. Truly appreciated!!
THAT IS SO AWESOME ! I have a 2011 Ford Econoline. I cannot even believe what you did with the space ! WOW just WOW ! love it !
The ceiling is exceptionally beaut.
Really enjoyed the simple, somewhat modern design + the color scheme. There's definitely something to be said for doing a van build in a rugged, simple way. Sturdy, less to go wrong. 👍
Thanks for the feedback David!
This is the best I have seen. So professional! I think maybe a cabinet could be above the sink for food storage.

Thanks for the feedback! Hope to have more content here soon on some other vans that are wrapping up.
One of the best builds I’ve seen in a van. Very thoughtful, very precise n a great use of the space. I could love living in that! Great job indeed!
Thanks so much! Crazy, we have this van back in the shop for a remodel. Client had a high top put on so we are changing it up a bit!! Stay tuned and thanks for the comments!!
Wow, I wish you were not so far away!!! I have a Grand Caravan I want converted. I have watched many videos of conversions and yours is by far the best!!!! and LOVE the color!!!!
I've done some work with minivans, it's a fun challenge! Let me know if I can be of any help.
You did a great van build on this. It looks fantastic. Keep up the good work. She's going to love it. 👍😎
Thanks 👍, it's been taken out regularly since leaving the shop which is an awesome thing!
I've seen hundreds of van build videos, literally, this was well done and btw your great at narrating n your voice is easy to listen to, subscribed! Thx sir
Wow, thank you! Really appreciate the feedback and humbled by your response!
This looks beautiful. It is well thought out, and uses the space so well!
Thank you so much! I agree, its cozy but effective.
I agree. The van looks great. I like what you did there.
Thank you so much for the inspiration this gives to people like me
Fun to see what could be 😊
Very nice of you to take the time to show your amazing effort and designs

Did you ever convert your E250? Did you follow this van build?
Awesome work! Can really tell you put a lot of effort into this. Love the layout too, it's so simple compared to a lot of builds, yet it still has a ton of storage and everything you would need. Definitely going to check out your other videos as well!

Thanks for the comments! Agreed the 150 suspension is a little light for these builds.
This is probably the best e150 build I’ve ever seen!
Making my day! Thanks for the kudos!!
really a beautiful build! It just goes to show you that an Econoline is still a viable option and a hell of a lot cheaper than the new tall roof vans.
Thank you and agreed, it's a great platform for a build!
I like that you pay attention to your woodworking finish. Majority of the van builds i see here in YT are low par. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Unfortunately too much solid wood in these can be a bad thing but still trying to find that balance between natural products and longterm reliability/stability.
Love the video especially love the part with the shore power hook up.
Thanks Micheal! I'll have more details for you here shortly!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! I just bought a 2000 E-150 and I’m about to get started renovating it. I’m gonna use this layout (with a few small changes)
Awesome! Have fun and go get it!!
Wow- the quality and thoughtful details are exceptional.
Thank you very much! Appreciate the feedback.
Beautifully finished!
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful build you did a real nice job. Looks like something you’d see in name brand RVs
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Much appreciated!!
very helpful video. Loved the extra touches like the added storage near the sink & the overhang storage near the foot step! Thanks. Hope you keep the videos coming on your future builds :)
Thank you Sarah! And yes, I'll try to keep them coming. There are some fun projects coming down the pike.
All of this looks like it's a pretty big expense but with that being said it looks WORTH IT big time! Great Great work

Because of the beautiful design i chose to subscribe. You did amazing on that build. I loved it.

best e150 video ever
Roof vent and indoor shower and about 3 canbat lithium batteries and some solar panels then your all set as well as roof top solar and storage areas . Otherwise best build I have seen for a econoline without a high top
Thanks for the feedback! Crazy what is possible and also what has become available on the market since I did this build.
You did a beautiful craftsmanship on the van.
Thank you for the feedback!
The cuts on the magazine rack....also; piano hinges ALWAYS on the inside. Gap in wood always looks better than brass. Nice build brother
a well thought out beautiful build....with the mighty Douglas Fir!!!!!
Thank you Jason! Yes, it is my favorite but unfortunately don't get to use it too much with the vans. There were some issues using this wider grain of fir but all in all it has held up quite well for the client.
I really like the cabinets ! Great job !
Thanks so much!
Absolutely love your work. It looks like it came straight out the factory this way. Would love to one day have you build my E250
Thats a solid compliment and thank you so much! We are here for ya, hit us up when you get the van!!
Great job! I have a suggestion: make a work or dinning space adding a foldable table attached to the left side of the cabinet, opening to the right side of the bench!
Thanks for watching, the comment and the suggestion!
Great build, and great craftsmanship.
Thank you for the feedback and kudos!
Love how you did the bed, and the wardrobe. Great layout.
Thanks so much and glad you liked it!
Great Job! Enjoyed it! Hope to see your next build soon.✌🤟👍
Thanks so much and glad you liked it! Hope to have more out soon!!

Incredible man. Great job!
Thank you! Hope to have the next build uploaded here soon.
Tremendous Van protect !!!
I will use some of your ideas in my Van project...
thanks!
Right on! Have fun!!
Fab! Loev the placement of the kitchen too!
Thanks! It's quite functional to have it in that location and makes it much easier to access some of the kitchen from outside the van.
I've often thought you could find a skylight that would work for people under 5'6" so they could stand up inside a regular size van to change clothes and cook!
One of these builds I'll use the Dometic Heki skylight, but I don't think it would be enough of a bubble to stand up in this type of van.
I can tell you from experience. High Tops add 1000lbs...I can stand up in it. If I'm close to the front at 5'7"....Was it worth it? Only if you update the rear springs to E-250 springs.

I love it , very clean design.
Glad you like it!

Stunning!

U really like the build. Its kind of my dream to start one of these conversion businesses like you have done. Very good video!
Thanks and go for it! I started with a Transit that I converted while I used it for side work and travel. That started conversations which then led to my first builds for others.
Epic!! Wow!! Better than any factory for sure. What or did you seal or cover the natural wood with? Has a nice sheen to it. Top notch craftsmanship!
I really like this build!

Hey there, nice job. Why were you unable to put a solar panel on the roof? Thanks!
The customer's garage door header was only a few inches above the roof of the van so we couldn't put panels or a fan up top. After this video was filmed, we did install a 100W flexible panel on the roof that keeps her battery topped off and expands her off grid capability. Thanks for the question!
Beaut design and workanship
Love this van build!
Thank you so much!
Stunning and spacious! I forgot it was a low roof! New sub from 🇨🇦😊
Thanks for the sub!
Loving this build, nice colors and contrast, I'm wondering how deep the clothes "Closet" is at its narrowest (top) deepest (bottom) - Thanks!
Thank you so much! At the upper section it is about 20" which is just big enough to clear a full size hanger and at the lower section it is about 24" deep. The drawers are in front of the fuel filler so they aren't full depth and this void also offered a good place to run wiring behind through.
Plugs got placed where the van has the highest probably of getting bumped or hit the most. They also give up it's hidden identity.
Agreed, the plugs are not in the best location and most builds now have them on the driver side, somewhere between the front and rear fender so that you can have a visual that it is/isn't plugged in before driving off. Stealth wasn't of concern on this build so we weren't worried about that but to your point, if stealth was needed, it would be better to undermount the plugs. Thanks for watching the video and the comments!
Great job. I bet she loves it. I know I do.....
Thanks!
Great job she will love it
Thank Kirk! She's left town every chance she gets. There were a few latches that needed upgrading and some tweaks to the design she wanted but otherwise it's been a great solution for her!
Cool interior ideas!!
Glad you like them!
Great Build Build. Wish You Had Shown Inside The Fridge
Thank you! I hope to put a video out soon showing the inside of a fridge that is just like the one in this van. Should give you an idea of what it looks like. Feel free to email me and I can send you a link to the actual fridge.
Nicely done!
Thanks!
Very nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the build!!!
Thank you so much!
Excellent work great video
If I could get something like this that would hold a very small office area with two side-by-side monitors and a computer the size of a book, I drive all over the country and just pretend I’m back at home working each day
I'm sure it could be built to accommodate an office setup. Would be a fun build!
