    Amazing plan and work. Does the right side Passanger seat rotate, 1 thing is missing is a wash room. You should get a small trailer, built a wash room, shower and a small laundry with solar powered and small storage and hook that to the van.

      Thanks for the kind words! Our van is smaller than most, so a bathroom wasn’t really an option for us. We have a porta potti and a solar shower, which is more than we had last summer!

    That Murphy bed is the perfect idea. We’ve been compiling a list of our ideal layout and that might just make the list for sure

      @RichandKirsten  3 года назад +1

      Thank you! We thought long and hard about our bed - we didn’t want to piece together a bed everyday but we also wanted space to hangout that wasn’t bed - so the Murphy bed was the perfect solution!

      Thanks Felix! We got our van weighed in the most recent vid and we’re 600 kg under the maximum weight of the van, so mileage should be as advertised by Ford (indeed it is after some testing)

    great job! I'm 6'2 so transit is my best option for height. Once you put in the flooring and ceiling what is the floor to ceiling measurement?

    • @RichandKirsten
      @RichandKirsten  3 года назад +1

      We have the mid-roof transit, so the measurement is around 5’9”, the high roof would add at least 6”

    How did you manage the weight in two side of the vehicle....?

    • @RichandKirsten
      @RichandKirsten  3 года назад +2

      Very careful planning haha. Our house electrical, Murphy bed, fridge, and food sits on one side, while our water, clothing and storage sits on another. This was the best way to balance out everything in the van. It also helps that we have a small fridge and one 1 200aH LiFePo4 battery rather than a large AGM battery bank
