Brilliant design is a huge understatement. I am a licensed and accomplished engineer with 47 years of experience. I know what I am looking at. The design throughout is genius. No question in my well-educated mind. Your work is genius. Good for you. You are the best design engineer in terms of step-van space. The very best. I am very good but could not accomplish what you have done. Pure genius.
You made me chuckle when you pointed out how cute your mini wood burning stove is.
Your RV, is lovely and without any wasted space on the inside.
If I saw this RV, I would have never been the wiser about the interior.
it is a wonderful build!
"I shower once a week... which may not seem like a lot for people living in ...homes" hahaha "but for someone living on the road full time, it's ...adequate" I love it. Great video! Great RV!
When we were kids once a week was what everybody did.Saturday night , lol. Clean for Sunday.
Out of all the Step Van Conversions I’ve seen, Dewaynes Van is the very best. Not only does he have all of the bells and whistles of any great RV but he took the time and detail to make the interior living space look and feel like a home. The wood paneling and the earthy tones and color schemes make the inside feel like a lovely home or really nice cabin. I absolutely loved what he did with the space and style of vehicle he has chosen to convert into a mobile home. Excellent job!
I don't understand why an RV company hasn't picked up on this it's perfect in every way for single people. I just Love it
Where is the toilet ?
@@floswason8776 Duane had a small shovel hanging on the back of the vehicle! 👍🕳 or 🪣. Easy solution for No 2’s! 😉
Duane’s rig is cool. It’s cosy and neat, just like a cabin. Duane’s a cool man too.
What a cool setup. I like the residential elements he put in. Kind of a cabin on wheels vibe.
"And it's cute!" I love this guy. Great rig.
Duane, what a beautiful job you did! Happy travels Duane!
Lovely man and van.
Duane resembles The Dude in all the best ways! Love it, and love his rig!
That dowel and eyelet system for holding the doors closed is brilliant, simple but I never would have thought of that in a million years.
Really nice conversion - so many favorites - love the wood burning stove - "Thank you" for sharing your home!
Wow!Outstanding.10x the build quality of a traditional RV and I'm sure thousands less.What an awesome purpose built rig. Well done video Seven,thank you.
After watching a few hundred tour vids, seeing something different doesn't happen very often. Hes got a couple of different things going on that I hadn't seen before.
agreed. love his lift gate and evaporative cooler
Yes! The evap cool! Was happy to see that along w the 53gal freshwater and full shower. And it being a step van! Which we see often on this channel but not others in my experience!
@@SevenWanderstheWorld Thank you for showing me this option!
I was hoping for a link about up above but didn't find one, so here's the one I found to help others to get info: www.turbokool.net/product-p/2b-0001-turbokool-swamp-cooler.htm
Dwayne built a fantastic, well thought out rig. Wonderful craftsmanship, and the motorcycle! This guy is living the dream. Seven, I always enjoy your RUclips wok, but this was one of your best!
thx Janelle. I thought Duane did an amazing job on his rig!
Now I want a lift gate on the back of my van. No question that is a great job. A shower, not usually part of the picture. It photographs like a mountain cabin. I'm impressed. I'm sure the photographer's skill goes a long way on how good this looks.
Duane did a nice job of building out his conversion. It is very cozy and functional with a cabin-like feel!
I love this van. No clutter, very practical.
This is really a wonderful home. This is what you call a home with the works. Duane you did an awesome job. Looks like an everyday vacation home. Thanks for the tour.
This is one of the best builds I've come across. He did a great job
By far, the best box van conversion I've ever seen Seven! Thank you for sharing!
That was one of your best videos. I loved Dwayne's creativity.
Beautiful build; quite comfortable and homey. I was never certain about a step van, but seeing this, I believe I could be happy in one. I'll add them to my list of "sure, maybe!"
Duane, your van is amazing. I love the inside and really love the motorcycle transport space. You've given me some great ideas. Thanks for sharing. Be Well and Free!!
All the vid's of DIY conversions I've been viewing from tear drops to buses....this is Definitely - to me one of the absolute Best. Very Simple set-up. Also importantly addresses the issue of a motorcycle(s). Not what I expected from the beginning. He's hanging the bike out back and not bringing it into to living area. This is a plus. Thank You Duane & SW/W.
his system makes it easy to move a giant bike like that
Love seeing Tall Guy's builds. If I ever build my own, I will want a tall box or step van for head clearance purposes.
It's safe to say that everything works very well and he likes it. I agree.
Duane has the NEATEST step van I have ever seen!! Tell him "job well done"!
I'm in love with this build. So many elements to this that are so functional and well thought out. Duane is so cool too! :)
Duane has some fantastic build skills
That is an exceptional build which will provide years of service. Wow!!!
Beautiful conversion! Exactly the kind of conversion I am looking to do. Just lovely 😊
Thanks Seven. He did a wonderful job of his van . Good thing every one has different ideas.
Great build, very well thought out, no wasted space...!
Ive watched many videos. A step van like Duane's will fit my needs the best. Very nice set up !
This is a great build - one of my favourites.
This is the best conversion I’ve seen so far. It looks very livable
Very nice. You'd never know you were inside a stepvan by that beautiful interior. It's nicer than some expensive tiny homes I've seen. Great work. 👍🏻
I believe step vans can be true tiny homes with an engine and rival the builds we all see on TV and RUclips
Step van is bright and sunny and BEAUTIFUL. The most beautiful and functional step van ever!!!
it is a beautiful build!
That is such an amazing job that he did on his build (IKEA will be my best friend whenever I start on my build) LOL ... His step camper looks so comfortable to live in... he has everything... shower, A/C and heat.. (home sweet home) All he needs now is a door bell hahaha (just kidding)
When I grew up in Va. I remember my grandmother had a wood burning stove in the living room... (it was large) and it worked really well. Duane can even put a bunk over his bed for grandchildrens to sleep if he has any... my plans are to have enough sleeping space to take my grandchildren on adventures with me when they are on school vacation.
GOOD JOB DUANE :)
one of the step vans I toured earlier, built by Gabriel, did actually have a house door and door bell. but, Duane's rig is nicely built!
I wish there are these kind of step van vehicles back in my country. Such an ideal shape to be made into a camper.
Dowel locking system excellent, dual purpose everywhere, Very impressive mixture of high tech &low tech solutions, Van to be proud off.
I agree. I like his dowel locks system
Super nice stepvan conversion, well designed and built. Beautiful in person
I think this is one of the nicest builds you've ever shown us!
Love the van, really nice equipment, do you have a toilet??
A good genuine guy and a great built. Well done brother
If you ever see Dwayne again you'll need to congratulate him on behalf for a really clean build. It's a very nice balance of practical, frugal and comfortable.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Love the simple eyelet/dowel solution to things getting loose and flying around the home when driving.
This guy has it made in the shade!
One of the better step vans I've seen. Clean , loaded and ready to accommodate.
it is an amazing build!
Duane, you have a beautiful home. GOD bless.
Wow, that guy's home is beautifully designed, I just love it. That was a well conducted interview, you just let him do it, wonderful, thank you.
Fabulous, especially the motorcycle lift..been looking for a while for someone who has done this so thank you!
makes me want a lift gate
Duane, you made such a beautiful build! Congrats to you, and happy RVing!
Hi guys, thanks for the great tour of your very well planned and executed step van conversion Duane. It seems to be a very comfortable, functional and nice looking space. That awning and shade screen practically doubles the living space and even the bike deck is multi purpose...I dig it! The off grid self sufficiency is extremely appealing to me as well, you can be anywhere and have all the comforts of home...so cool! I really enjoy these tours Seven, they're very informative and inspiring to me...keep 'em comin'! Happy trails folks. .......................PEACE!!
Duane did an amazing job. thx for watching!
Duane, your home is lovely, great use of space, it doesn't feel cramped at all. Thank you for sharing ! Lots of good ideas!
Duane great job on your house truck.. i Love your ideas on using IKEA and love your idea on just keeping it simple
Thank you
it is a great design
I love the way u have put everything in place, Will done,happy journey to u
You, sir, are a steely-eyed RV man. Excellent work. Factories are incapable of that kind of quality. BRAVO!
I love the garage. He has the same shelves as W42! Great ideas and build in here!
it is an amazing build; can't wait to see what you do with your interior!
Very brilliant set up. Best I've seen of many lay outs. Thanks for showing us. Your skills and practical knowledge are a credit to you.
Very nice rig you got there Duane... Nicely put together using nice materials - excellent! Thanks Seven for doing the Video, great as usual.... Ciao.
You got a very nice tiny apartment on wheels, great job.
Fabulous Job! Love your color choices also.
I've watched many of your tours this is by far the nicest most practical
Wow this is so super nice and it's so nice of you to share this with us I got so many great tips from things you've already taken the time to figure out for us I think it's really cute how you said about the shower I lived in a camper for half a year to pay for the land that I was on and I found out I could can take half showers you know waist down showers and they can be cold that's how I got by haha and that's mostly because I was just too lazy to heat up the tank from my propane tank. a real work of art Duane thank you for sharing and have fun on that bike!!!
This is an impressive build, the lift on the back for a bike being the most innovative thing I've seen so far, my own Luton Bodied had a tail lift but I only ever used that as a patio for summer relaxing. Now I know what my next build will have! (Last time I had my bike on a trailer, next time I'm copying this guy! ).
Very nice stepvan Duane enjoying the series Seven Wanders the World.
happy you are enjoying the videos!
Second time commenting. You are amazing, so efficient not a wasted space anywhere. I have a 16 foot caravan self built. I love it however it does not compare to your home. What you have done is stunning in the best way possible. Thank you and good luck.
A brilliant gentleman and thinker.
Duane is a great guy and has lots of skills
Very nice. Thanks Duane and Seven!
This is what I call truly living and riding free! Living the dream!! I'm wondering what the ceiling height is inside. Looks like he just has a few inches to spare. I am in love with this build! So well thought out and perfect use of space! It's just beautiful! I'm very envious! The fact that the motorcycle tows so perfectly in the back blows me away! I used to ride and have been telling my husband I want another bike. This makes it doable for me! We have every intention of retiring on the road in this manner. So glad I got to see this beauty!
Beautifully done; love the use of natural wood everywhere, though personally I'd curve some of the sharp edges because I'm a klutz and tend to run into things. I liked the placement of the bed-- that's very cozy back there. Might be interesting to make one of those windows into an emergency hatch, only openable from the inside... The woodburning stove was very well mounted, and I loved the copper heat-reflector! Nice work.
Brilliant design features in a beautiful rig! (@ 12:00 "..and it's CUTE!")
He has that van dialed in perfect for his needs and he seems like a cool easy going guy .
Incredible build Duane. Well thought out. Looks very livable. Enjoy your life.
It’s a beautiful build Duane, happy times to you!
Great job!!! LOVE THIS! You made the most of all your space.
What a gorgeous home! He did a great job. Thanks for sharing Seven.
That is a great home, those curtains are everything
Absolutely awesome sir. You are not only a craftsman of the first order but a talented designer and layout person. I would not change a thing nor would I dare suggest any. I really enjoyed your video and you are an excellent producer, presenter in addition to theose other skills.. Thank you for sharing. Have a great life sir!
Duane is a man with many skills ;)
I saw this amazing home in person, luv it!🙋🚙
quite nice in person isn't it?
Duane. Your place is awesome....you do great work...looks like a wonderful way to spend your life.... best wishes and safe travels.
Fantastic step van conversion! As a rider I love the ability to carry your bike. My former partner welded old bed frames to the back our RV to carry our HD. Clocked lots of miles before he passed.
Great solar system & wood stove & on demand water heater.
It's all about the adventures in life; enjoy! 🏍😊
Wow! A lovely van!
This is a very nice home! Just beautiful. You did a very nice job. I can’t wait to show my husband this video. Thank you, Leslye
happy you enjoyed it!
What an awesome van Duane has and thanks so much for showing bro. All the very best
Wooooowwww! Amazing and beautiful!!! I just got so many great ideas. Great design and layout!
Brilliant build! Very clean and practical. The max air fan with the swamp fan feature gave an idea. Go get one 😊
You really did a good job on your step up van. I'm thinking about getting one for myself. Thanks for sharing and thumbs up 😊
My favorite part is when he says the camper is cute :)
I thought he was just calling his little wood heater cute... :)
What a cozy lovely home!
A very comfortable van to live full time! Stay safe!
Ahhh that’s a pretty nice ahhh rig!!!
Oh I'm in love with this van. 💖
What a beautiful conversion!
THIS GUY IS BRILLIANT.
he has skills!
One of the best interiors I've seen, love the van idea too , durable.
Very cool Duane , well done
Well done guys. Great rig Duane and great editing Seven.
It felt just like a house, wow! Great job, Duane!! Loved it. The wood panels are warm and inviting. I like your modular kitchen counter which lifts up for chairs. Really cozy and warm interior. You are a lovely man too!
One thing I would change - Redo the propane stove install. You have wood on two sides of this stove and that is very risky so close to burners. Could start a fire easily. I would bring it out more and put firebrick tiles all around or ceramic tiles. Not wood. I would also swap out that weak stove for a Camp Chef Ranger II - 2 burner stove top. Each burner is 17,000 BTU compared to that puny Flame King at 7200 & 5200 BTU burners. Takes forever to cook and forget about stir fry.
Outstanding job! Congratulations Mr. Seven Grey
thanks so much!
You're welcome, bud!
Inside looks great. Very comfortable .
