JessaJayVlogs Are you still living in it?? I’m getting ready to start the planning phase...I love your “build”!I just found you...off to explore more of your vlogs...I hope there ARE more!
Somone Inspired u know what she could of not cut the white sheet but when she’s driving with a lot of people she could of took off the white sheet a more smarter way 🤨
All these folk buying and doing complete refits. Then you find a van that seems insulated and a bed with legal ways to carry passengers. Pure commonsense.
Take the seat belts and tuck them under the seat - then when you need them take them out. Sleeping on them through the sheets would be very uncomfortable.
Great job ladies. Marley looks beautiful. Just one helpful tip...those sheets will have a very short life as sheets and quickly become rags once they are used thanks to the cuts in them. Never fear though, there is a quick and easy solution. A little sewing or any product along the lines of Liquid Seam or Fray Stop. If you don't do something to finish the cut edges the fabric will continue to rip in the direction of the cut with very little use. You can find what you need at a fabric store or craft store or on the Internet. Good luck!
@@JessaJayVlogs I don’t know if you’ll see this but what kind of car is it? It’s literally so perfect and I’m in love with it and would like to find it or something similar
I'm 15 and I feel like I could find a van like yours in my small town for cheep. I can't wait to drive because I love traveling and this would be a perfect idea to do! Everything u need wherever u go. No hotel payments or anything. I think I'm stealing your idea😂
I usually cook outside on the tables that are under the seat so it makes sense for me to keep it there. And I just tuck them under the seat. I only pop them out when I have passengers riding in my van :)
Love it. Love how simple it is. It didn’t have electrical work or plumbing and all that. There was a cook top a place to sleep and a place to put my yoga mat. Perfect.
Okay, so how did you remedy the situation with the seatbelts when you wanted to sleep. I myself would have tucked them away and rolled the sheets back and out of the way while using the seat. I like what you have done to Marley. You have a more of a deluxe version than my Astro is, mine is a 1996, 7 passenger van. Nothing fancy and I sure wish my seats went back like yours, mine just go forward! :( Grrrr. I found your channel through Chrome and Vancity Vanlife. Now a fan!
This was a tour from a super long time ago! Marley looks a lot different now so we made a new video :) And yes, we just tucked them underneath, so most of the time, they weren’t even visible! Welcome to the JayFam!! Chrome is an awesome guy.
Just found you in my RUclips feed. Liked and subscribed. I want to convert my SUV and hit the road with my little dog. I'm 68 yrs old and hope to do this, this coming this summer. Thank you and God bless your travels. Going to binge your videos
Better sew around the edges where u cut a slit in the sheets so it don't tear further I'm a seamstress n it will as soon as ur sleeping n roll over n then u will have to waste money n buy more. Cute van hun
I have seen so many van conversion videos, and this one gets to the point and could be comfortable lived in with appropriate weather. Great video and awesome intro.
You two look like twins with your braids! I"m sure people get you two mixed up on campus!! Your van looks freaking amazing! Can I just live in your van outside your house?!
Good job, but did you end up hemming the holes cut for the seatbelts? Once the sheets are washed they will start fraying and you'll end up with strings caught up in the seat belts if they aren't hemmed.
I wonder if you had a porta potty you could maybe cover it with one on those foldable fabric bins if it's the same size . make sure you stitch around those cut holes in the sheets, they'lle ravel in the wash if you don't. just a thought. very nice set up!
marley looks great. but i do have a recommendation for finishing the edges of the textiles you cut -- both the bottom edge of your blackout curtains AND the sheet slits to pass the seat belts through. over time, friction will create both aesthetic and durabililty issues -- passing those seats through, every night will be a problem for those sheet slits as will opening & closing those blackout curtains. so, two quick, easy & cheap options here -- first, a sewing product called Fray Check. crafters use it for lots of things, but it's a type of fabric glue that will, at the very least, bond those cut edges and keep them from fraying. a better option is a 2-3 step process, of which the Fray Check is step 1. Step 2 would be cutting bias tape, and applying it to all those cut edges, and for that you could use a product called Heat Bond which serves as a fabric adhesive between two textiles AND comes in a wide variety of widths. You would cut both the Bias Tape and the Heat Bond tape to the desired length, following the manufacturer's recommended instructions, applying the Heat Bond to the Bias Tape first, and then applying the Heat Bonded Bias Tape to the cut edges. For best durability, i would recommend actually sewing those in place as an additional step, but this process will at least make clean, neat edges that will ensure a longer lasting product, possibility more comfortability when you sleep, and that you'll be proud of when showing off marley to all your new friends! both of these products are widely available at places like Walmart & JoAnn Fabrics. Good luck! What an adventure! :)
Thank you so much! I found mine on Craigslist. You may need to drive a bit of a ways to find the right one for you! Definitely not something you just wanna jump into if you aren't sure :)
Thank you so much for making this video!! As someone just starting out wanting a van for festivals and traveling this is perfect. Looks great too. Keep up the good work man, sending positive vibrations in your direction. 🏵✌
Looking good guys some simple but effective ideas there, just hope there is more on things like extra battery and solar. All the best from way down under NZ
I love love love this . so creative & fun. I can't believe how many disrespectful comments I'm seeing.. This was YOUR idea. YOUR van. Not everyone has to like it. We are all creative in our own way. That's what makes it beautiful.
You should totally buy some fold out chairs and eat outside your van, also, when you use your mini stove you might need a second space for counters. Also wont clothes hang in your face? And how are you going to wash your clothes? Go to the bathroom? Storing food might be a big issue... And what about hygiene Aaaaaa im sorry im getting anxiety over things that you all probably already figured out Dont mean to be negative, its just a couple of things to think about :)
It's totally okay to have questions! I ended up taking the clothes down so I could see out the window and only really hang things for a night or two at a time. I wash my clothes at laundry mats, shower at gyms (Planet fitness) and only store food that doesn't go bad in heat. :)
I'm happy with my van! Stayed in it multiple times, so not just a "good try". Everyone is different and everyone likes different things! :) What's a swap meet?
JessaJayVlogs A swap meet is trading materials. Money is not exchanged. Now you know what a rock swap is too! Vanlifers bring together their skills and help each other, usually at the RTR in Quartzite, AZ.

This would be so good for over night trips
I live in it full time :)
JessaJayVlogs what about food?
Armyyyyyyy

*watches intro*
Me: I love her already
Aww well thank you!!!
Layla Holley sameeeeee
I was about to write that🤣😘so adorable
Lol
I no
Those seatbelts are gonna be so uncomfortable when sleeping
......my sentiments exactly......:)
Somone Inspired u know what she could of not cut the white sheet but when she’s driving with a lot of people she could of took off the white sheet a more smarter way 🤨
Belle and iana Show!! Ikr lol
Cute van
that's what i thought
This is what makes this fun, just plain ordinary stuff. No expensive nothing. You "Girls rock!!"
All these folk buying and doing complete refits. Then you find a van that seems insulated and a bed with legal ways to carry passengers. Pure commonsense.
SWEETEST COMMENT EVER! Thank you!
Money is a major factor for a lot of people doing ‘build outs’. These two girls are probably supported by mom and dad...js
@@bloubrown802 ... or maybe they have part time jobs. If Ma n Pa were in the mix maybe it would be a total fit out.
Take the seat belts and tuck them under the seat - then when you need them take them out. Sleeping on them through the sheets would be very uncomfortable.
Yep! That's what I do! They are almost always tucked in.
She did 🙄🙄🙄
Pamela Prizant I was about to comment that my man
Pamela Prizant I thought I was the only one thinking that it would be uncomfortable.
Meow wow i live in an rv and i have to completely clean up my bed every day, it’s really not that big of an inconvenience
That is better than my room
It's pretty cozy!
That is better than muy lote
Same here
LOL
stop
JessaJayVlogs Same here. I could fit all of my stuff in there, bed and all.
Great job ladies. Marley looks beautiful. Just one helpful tip...those sheets will have a very short life as sheets and quickly become rags once they are used thanks to the cuts in them.

I really appreciate that input! I will do that!
Wow, that was easier than I thought. But of course, the model of the car really helped you out.
YES! It really did :) I made sure to pick something that I would be able to work with pretty easily :)
@@JessaJayVlogs I don’t know if you’ll see this but what kind of car is it? It’s literally so perfect and I’m in love with it and would like to find it or something similar
Jesus christ is coming back, people look to God put him first read your bible and pray Jesus loves you*
It was creative when you put the holes in the sheet for the seat belts
Thanks Emilia!
I'm 15 and I feel like I could find a van like yours in my small town for cheep. I can't wait to drive because I love traveling and this would be a perfect idea to do! Everything u need wherever u go. No hotel payments or anything. I think I'm stealing your idea😂
IT'S SO FREEING TO BREAK THE SYSTEM!!!
You should have installed The middle wire shelves upside down so it would be like a tray and things would not slide off.
SMART! Thanks for the tip :)
skess94 that is such a good idea
why put stove top under bed instead of with "kitchen"? how are you gonna sleep with seat belts on top of your bed?
I usually cook outside on the tables that are under the seat so it makes sense for me to keep it there. And I just tuck them under the seat. I only pop them out when I have passengers riding in my van :)
Crystal Vanner thats what i said
Crystal Vanner it's a store away stove for like camping or something.
Crystal Vanner ... Whats the alternative chocky?
I love your channel Crystal! I love crystals too! :P
Love your conversion! Shows how it can be well done and keeping it simple! What an inspiration!
this would be perfect for the walking dead 😍😍😍😍
HA! I guess you're right! It would!
Thats what i was thinking!
Same idea here
One word, GAS
Ikr
This is such a perfect way for sibling bond
And the van is so cute.
I thought so too! I love my sister
What an awesome idea.. at first I was thinking "how the heck are they gonna fit anything in there?" But it's actually pretty spacious!
It's crazy what can be done with a small space if you use it well! :)
MyUploadedLife iii,
MyUploadedLife ccjfdhdjd
MyUploadedLife I
Dam, two girls do a better job of van life at its basics then any other video ive watched and i have watched a few
What a kind and supportive comment! You are the BEST!
liam borer
lolzzz, was just thinking that!
I suddenly feel that I could actually do this! Plus, you guys are adorable. Thank you! :)
Who loves her intro
aww well thanks!
I love how simple the setup is , thats how i would do it , not a bunch of renovations and crap every where, this is nice and spacious
Thank you! I think simple is better sometimes :)
This is one of the most practical and effective van conversions I've seen. Good job.
Nice job, however you may want to find a way to secure the propane tanks while traveling so they do not explode. Safe travels.
That's a really good idea...THANK YOU
I’m so jealous, I need a Marley of my own!
Also your intro is actually the best 😂
aww thank you! And go for it Amie!
Yay! You need me?😀😂
wiy
My name is actually Marley no joke for real it is
Yeah it is
Love it. Love how simple it is. It didn’t have electrical work or plumbing and all that. There was a cook top a place to sleep and a place to put my yoga mat. Perfect.
You like yoga? I'm trying to do it more!
Jessie Jay, the beginning, LOVE IT!! We all need that type of positivities daily!!

I’m 11 and I want to live in one now
Someday!!!
I love your sirname
Lilly Pringle
You’ll probably change your mind
Lilly Pringle I am too! And I also wanna live in a van!!
I really do
This is so cute! super inspiring too, you don't need a huge van build out to make a decent space!
No you DEFINITELY don't! I will be changing a lot with the designs soon (Specifically the bed) so stay tuned!
i’ve been randomly watching this video for the past 3 years because it keeps popping up on my recommended haha
Just found you in my RUclips feed. Liked and subscribed. I want to convert my SUV and hit the road with my little dog. I'm 68 yrs old and hope to do this, this coming this summer. Thank you and God bless your travels. Going to binge your videos
For the next project, a sink is a must just for the basics teeth brushing dishes and basic hand washing
Yep. Working on it. But for me, I'm okay with keeping it simple for a while and living more on the edge.
I bring water jugs with me on trips and do all these things outside, so I don't really think it's a must for van life.
I LOVE it!!!! You did such a good job. You're going to have so many amazing memories in it!
I hope so! Thanks girl!
Better sew around the edges where u cut a slit in the sheets so it don't tear further I'm a seamstress n it will as soon as ur sleeping n roll over n then u will have to waste money n buy more. Cute van hun
I've heard this from a few people! I'll try and do that :)
Oh my goodness you are a bundle of sunshine! Go take on the world little one, you are going to be amazing at everything you do.
I have seen so many van conversion videos, and this one gets to the point and could be comfortable lived in with appropriate weather. Great video and awesome intro.
I started watching and looking in comments to fire back at hate already being protective 😂
Hey that what i'm doing here!!!
You’re awesome Jessa ! Nice to see the process !
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
You two look like twins with your braids! I"m sure people get you two mixed up on campus!! Your van looks freaking amazing! Can I just live in your van outside your house?!
People ask us ALL the time if we are twins. And YEAH, when are you getting here!? :p
Good job, but did you end up hemming the holes cut for the seatbelts? Once the sheets are washed they will start fraying and you'll end up with strings caught up in the seat belts if they aren't hemmed.
yeah, a few people keep telling me that! I should get on it, but I'm not exactly sure how to hem things.
You know you are best friends when you can talk shit to each other like that and still love each other
YES EXACTLY! We are sisters and we love to make fun.
Woah that looks so good
Thanks girl!
Bailey Brianne hi
Bailey Brianne G
Bailey
Bailey Brianne it
Looks so spacious before you put things in, still spacious tho.
I love how the space feels :)
"Cause it would look ugly."
*"Like her!"*
😂😂😂😂😂
Edit: 1:46
ha ha
I wonder if you had a porta potty you could maybe cover it with one on those foldable fabric bins if it's the same size . make sure you stitch around those cut holes in the sheets, they'lle ravel in the wash if you don't. just a thought. very nice set up!
Definitely a good idea, but most of the time, I think I'm just going to go outside :)
It’s cool because when you go camping or. Out on a long road you can chill inside !!!
Exactly! If you get tired driving, you can also just pull over and take a nap as well.
I think after a bed the most important thing is a toliet. In your travels a toliet may not allows be available.
Yes! You are so right. I think the great outdoors may become my toilet a lot of times.
Imagine someone steals this van and then you wake up like
“WhAt ThE FUcK mAN”
Lol
My grand parents got a van they don’t live in it but it’s really nice it’s just for road trips
I love road trip vans! What kind did they get?
Everyone: Omg! This is so cute. Me: omg why is her intro the best one ever
Omg today I saw you at Wal-Mart in San diego
Wait really!? Are you a VanLifer because I saw a sprinter van today at Walmart!
JessaJayVlogs no but did u go to Wal-Mart todau
YES! In San Diego :)
Great job, it turned out very cute, and cozy.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
I need the black-out panels - where did you get these?
Pamela Prizant Walmart or amazon
Yep! I got these at Walmart, but there are great options on amazon as well :)
Walmart
You can also get these at Dollar General or Family Dollar.
Thank all y'all!
how you gonna sleep when the seatbelts are gonna be hard when you sleep
Idk she probably gonna suck it in the seats

Oh yeah! Love the color scheme and how easy you put that together! Oh and your cooking stove is perfect!
Thank you so much Charles! It really wasn't a hard process!
What year and model is your van? Very simple, nice job!
It's a 1998 GMC :) I like simple! Thanks :)
Angelika Szabo 99 GMC safari
Your van is legit bad ass! I can never find a van like yours anywhere in my surrounding area.
Thank you so much! I found mine on Craigslist. You may need to drive a bit of a ways to find the right one for you! Definitely not something you just wanna jump into if you aren't sure :)
Nice, I love it 💕💞You both work well together and funny. Lol 🤣😅🙋
Thanks! So glad you’re here :)
Thank you so much for making this video!! As someone just starting out wanting a van for festivals and traveling this is perfect. Looks great too. Keep up the good work man, sending positive vibrations in your direction. 🏵✌
Thank you Jess
The van was already renovated when you bought it?
Exactly... it’s called a “conversion van” for a reason... all she did was add a few things through out... no conversion involved.....😃😃
Looking good guys some simple but effective ideas there, just hope there is more on things like extra battery and solar. All the best from way down under NZ
I will make videos as these things get added or come up :)
What kind of van is that???? Also it came out soooooo beautiful I love it 💜💜
Thank you! It’s a 1998 GMC safari van :)
JessaJayVlogs thank you and your welcome I love it so much I can't explain!💜💙
JessaJayVlogs it also gave me the idea to do this when I go on vacation like this is so smart! No money on a hotel! :) :)
I want a van like that!
DO IT!
Marley is gorgeous! You guys are so adorable. Safe travels.
Thank you Paula! Marley is my favorite
Awesome video! Marley looks fabulous!
Thank you Bonnie!
Awesome, conversion. Just a suggestion you might want to get some fray check. So the sheets don't fray.
EXCELLENT idea! I love how helpful these comments are! :)
Your van looks amazing!
Thank you!
Me:”hmm”
