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!
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!
DANG! nice work! I think we mentioned this before, but we live on a sailboat preparing to sail the world. If we ever moved back to land we would seriously consider van life because this is just way too cool.
Hey! We purchased a single burner induction and have a dual burner Coleman propane stove to cook. We also got an Airtop STC 2000 heater to keep warm. All that coming in the tour video shortly!
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)
@@RichandKirsten my bad I should have paid more attention to what van you had. You both are so exciting to watch and learn from. I look forward to watching each week!
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

Good job, you definitely deserve more views for this video. Helpful for sure, thanks!
Thanks Eric!
Great Video. I love the instruction and the detail that went into the video. A+. I hope you guys love your van build.
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching! 😊
Amazing build! So much attention to detail.
incredible content Rich and Kirsten. I killed the thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the excellent work.
Like the bed and the installation!
Thank you!
seeing the time lapse really shows all the underlying planning that went on behind the sides. good stuff
Thanks Mr. Pace! It’s hard to quantify the amount of hours we spent planning this thing!
This is a great video and I love how you narrated it as you went.
Thank you! It was a beast to edit, but we felt like the narrative is such an important element
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
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!
@@RichandKirsten yes I totally agree! That was our thought too, bit wanting to put it away every day
Absolutely great work. Drive down to India from Canada. Next world tour.
We would love to, it would be quite a journey on a freighter boat xD
Great van love it well done. Love to see bit more about that bed.
Hi Ian! Tour will be coming in the next couple weeks!
You guys deserve more subscribers
Thank you for the kind words! 🥰
right? they are awesome!

Thank you! Maybe after a little sea adventure you can get some land adventuring in!
Unreal!! Can't wait for you guys to pick me up for a sleepover :) :)
Only if you bring hank! It’ll be cozy 🤣
Love it. Ready to see what you do next.
Thank you! We can’t wait to get going!
Beautiful !
Thank you 😊
Shiplap with a chevron pattern! Now go and see some sea-shells on the seashore!
😂 Thank you!
Quality content
Thank you! 😊
Nice cab build. It looks a lot of fun and the Murphy bed was a good idea. My question....Where's the bathroom?
We have a porta potti in our bench and a solar shower that hooks onto the back of the van!
@@RichandKirsten oh cool!!! Thanks for responding and have an awesome time in your van!!
Nice. What about cooking and heating?

Nice looking build, what kind of mileage will you be getting? Seems very heavy!
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)
How much did everything cost I’m also from Canada so I would like to know since most videos I find are from the uk
We made a video on it! Broke down everything to the cent
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?
We have the mid-roof transit, so the measurement is around 5’9”, the high roof would add at least 6”
@@RichandKirsten my bad I should have paid more attention to what van you had. You both are so exciting to watch and learn from. I look forward to watching each week!
Thanks for the kind words! We’re really looking forward to actually living in it and exploring as we go
How did you manage the weight in two side of the vehicle....?

@@RichandKirsten that's cool and nice idea.. all the best for your journey... From India
Built very well. Cost $$$$
Thank you! We did a cost video!
Were you concerned with weight? Thanks!
We were, but we used mostly lightweight products and ended up being very underweight
where is the bathroom?
The toilet lives in our bench!
Where’s the bathroom?
We have a porta potti located in our bench and a solar shower for outside. We have a shorter wheel base so no room for an inside shower/bathroom
They didn't even use sound deadening 😂💀
Not a necessity!
Great job but why does everyone force the background noise when you talk? It's not helpful and can be so distracting you can hear.
Are you referring to the music?
No bathroom
No Shit-hole?
There's a toilet under the bench - check out our tour video for all the small details :)
Will you make children or just buy a dog?
We already have an adopted cat! Already on our way to being typical millennials!
