OMG I want this so much! I got my van and for 6 weeks have been watching videos. I have no tools or experience. So very frustrating. This is so beautiful ❤️ Thank you for sharing
Omgosh! Thank you so much! I have the same van. I'm going to follow your step by step and do the same. I soo appreciate you taking the time to do this video!😊
I really like your van. It is both easy and smart. It has tons of charm. I think I’m in love with your car because I use to go back and look at it again… I’m probably a “only one van fan “ .
Your work is amazing. Would you be willing to share how you attach wood pieces such as the one in the front (immediately behind the driver's and passenger's seats) to the headliner area? I've watched literally hundreds of builds but I'm not a builder or carpenter and can't understand for the life of me how people are attaching the custom-designed pieces to the van itself. Thank you so much in advance. 🙏🏼
Amazing indeed! I held my breath and didn’t want to blink my eyes in order to see clearly. I still could not follow the details. Just wonder where you learnt all these skills. The tools are amazingly good in your hands.
The joy of life, awesome. I can see the care put in. This is a great build and an inspiration. I wish I had the ability to do such a build. I believe this is the new way, to live "out" of a van. Very nice
Your work is amazing!! How wide is the inside space of your van? You hv comfortably placed a kitchen top with the sink and there is still good space for a bed. Wonderful!
I donʻt know much at all except for a few videos that Iʻve watched, so please excuse my dumb questions-1) what were your thoughts about adding insulation ? and 2) although I didnʻt see entry points for water entry, any concern about potential moisture (and mold) accumulating behind the wood panels? Thanks so much for sharing…beautiful build.
Out of all the builds I've seen, and trust me, I'm in the rabbit hole watching video after video, this is the one I'd choose. I could try to build myself. If I brought it to you with the materials, would you build it and for how much?
Everything about this build is great. My only concern would be the weight of all that wood and it’s effect on MPG, shocks, ground clearance and overall strain on the motor. And none of your personal items have been added. But besides that it’s a really nice build.
Nice, future van builders use the lightest timber that you can source for your build as unnecessary mass will affect fuel consumption, road handling, suspension and your budget.
I love this setup, it looks great but you have no videos of ya'll living in it. Is it functional for two adults and a furbaby to live in? How do you manage everyday life when you're not exploring? I'd really be interested to see how you cook and get around on a rainy/windy day.
You build and created a super fantastic and very impressive van. I just got myself a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. I did a very simple no-build build, which I’m very happy with. I’ll hire someone, to build me a flat floor & kitchen like yours 👍🏼👍🏼 In the meantime I’m wondering, how you attached to cross panel for your curtains ? Thank you for sharing your ideas, it’s a great inspiration. Wishing you safe, happy & adventures travels, to you and your wife.
This is the best example I've seen.. Hoping to build a Photo Van for taking wild life photography day trips. Enabling me to process and set us as well and take bio breaks in the wild.... How much weight did your buildout add to the van and how does that effect your fuel usage and ride and shocks?
I've officially come to the conclusion my initial van build will be a regular minivan while I continue to work but live way cheaper saving up until eventually I afford the pro masters build
The new Toyota Sienna’s have a curtain airbag that runs the length of the side coming out of the top. So it would be very dangerous to build up any sidewalls. Too bad, it sure is pretty and functional.
Isn’t all the heavy duty plywood heavy & make mileage a lot worse ? I wonder if 1/4 plywood or even heavy duty paneling would be sufficient and allow for better mileage ?
In the video he said he chose heavier plywood because it was stronger and didn't flex as much, which made it easier to work with. Lighter material works if it's not going to carry too much weight, it's not going to be jostled too much doing your travels, and you're going to keep the humidity down so it doesn't warp too much.
OMG I want this so much! I got my van and for 6 weeks have been watching videos. I have no tools or experience. So very frustrating. This is so beautiful ❤️ Thank you for sharing
How’s the build coming along?
lol.
Me too.
I have a 04 Tahoe z71. I’m doing this exact build , adding a tv and mini fridge to it. Will post full build when I’m done !
Omgosh! Thank you so much! I have the same van. I'm going to follow your step by step and do the same. I soo appreciate you taking the time to do this video!😊
Hey did you end up building your van out like this one yet? I’m thinking of doing the same thing 😊
I really like your van. It is both easy and smart. It has tons of charm. I think I’m in love with your car because I use to go back and look at it again… I’m probably a “only one van fan “ .
Great video on the build, nice to see what can be done, looking for a van myself now.
What an incredible job! So impressed & I have watched a ton of builds. Bravo 👏👏
Love it. You are very talented and I appreciate the assistance to those of us who aren’t as handy.
Nicely done, you are quite the craftsman.
that's beautiful, I was looking at minivans and this one is the one to build, great job
WOW, you are a true Craftsman. I wish I had half your skills. Great Job and.you don't realize how much encouragement you give us earthlings
Great build there. Would love a follow-up vid on how this technique is faring. Looks so do-able too.
Thank you 😊
This is the most beautiful, functional minivan build I've seen yet. Did it really go as smoothly as it looks o. The video?🙃Great job.
I love the wood/red floral combo!!!!! Sooooo pretty!
A mini van? It looks HUGE inside!!👍✌️🙂
Your work is amazing. Would you be willing to share how you attach wood pieces such as the one in the front (immediately behind the driver's and passenger's seats) to the headliner area?

Thank you so much in advance. 🙏🏼
I wish you would have shown how you attached the 2 x 4s above the windows the length of the roof on the sides
your build has inspired me to do my van like this kind of so thanks so much x
I love your van that’s great you should consider doing that for a great business
Awesome build! I loved it. Thank you for sharing.
Looks fantastic ♡
Thank you very much for this perfect video ♡
Thanks. I had been wondering how to hide the cealing headliner in my minivan project. You gave me something to think about. Great video.
You're very talented, and the finished set up looks very nice.
제가본것중 최고예요 . 다른 큰차량은 비싸고 집을 옮겨 놓은것같은 진짜 자유롭게 간단히 즐기려는것과 뜻이 맞지 않앗어요. 공간도 많이 차지하지않고 실용적이고 더구나 자체 에너지를 생성할수잇어서 무엇보다 좋앗읍니다.
Amazing indeed! I held my breath and didn’t want to blink my eyes in order to see clearly. I still could not follow the details. Just wonder where you learnt all these skills. The tools are amazingly good in your hands.
I have done other builds over the years.
Love how you & what you chose!
Awesome! I have the floor in my Honda Odyssey so far and that's as far as I've gotten! I need to speed it up 🤣
I love this! All of it!
Wow, you are very talented! You did a beautiful job 😁 👍
Awesome build!!!!
The joy of life, awesome.
I can see the care put in.
This is a great build and an inspiration.
I wish I had the ability to do such a build.
I believe this is the new way, to live "out" of a van.
Very nice
Gorgeous!
Nice build! Great job 👏
Simple , functional. Love it.
Really nice. You made a minivan feel like a cozy kitchen/home.
Very nice job. I suggest to have an access to the back cargo under the back floor.
finish work is amazing!
I love this build. He should do this for a living.
Wauuu ...I have learned a lot of your video today !!!
That's beautiful. But a minivan like that would get quite heavy with all that wood wouldn't it?
Your work is amazing!! How wide is the inside space of your van? You hv comfortably placed a kitchen top with the sink and there is still good space for a bed. Wonderful!
That's a work of art.
Excellent!!!
Very nice! Wish I was talented enough to do that.
Beautiful van conversion, Just wondering why you didn’t cut around the a/c heating vents?
Very nice. I really want to install solar panels in top of my van. I am currently building out my minivan and documenting it on my youtube channel❤❤
谢谢分享！很有创意，我也受到启发。
This is so nice. I love it.😊
Wow home on wheels build awesome 😎
God bless you thankful 🙌🏾
This is spectacular really nice build
BEST MINI VAN BUILD EVER!!!!!!
Some day in the future, I can see people building campers instead of tiny homes on wheels.
That is a awesome build.
Thanks
beautiful build
I donʻt know much at all except for a few videos that Iʻve watched, so please excuse my dumb questions-1) what were your thoughts about adding insulation ? and 2) although I didnʻt see entry points for water entry, any concern about potential moisture (and mold) accumulating behind the wood panels? Thanks so much for sharing…beautiful build.
This one looks like it will hold fishing tackle!!!
Great video. Thank you. Do you take on minivan build project?
You are a Genius!
Out of all the builds I've seen, and trust me, I'm in the rabbit hole watching video after video, this is the one I'd choose. I could try to build myself. If I brought it to you with the materials, would you build it and for how much?
Excellent plan.
Very innovative approach. Classy finishes.
Thank you very much
Everything about this build is great. My only concern would be the weight of all that wood and it’s effect on MPG, shocks, ground clearance and overall strain on the motor. And none of your personal items have been added. But besides that it’s a really nice build.
BEAUTIFUL WIEK LOVE IT THANK YOU
Very well made.
Nice, future van builders use the lightest timber that you can source for your build as unnecessary mass will affect fuel consumption, road handling, suspension and your budget.

Wow bro.
Wowzers!!!!
Thank you... Good job Sir.
Love it! 😊 Can I ask you about how much weight this adds to the van?
You build and created a super fantastic and very impressive van.
I just got myself a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan.
I did a very simple no-build build, which I’m very happy with.
I’ll hire someone, to build me a flat floor & kitchen like yours 👍🏼👍🏼
In the meantime I’m wondering, how you attached to cross panel for your curtains ?
Thank you for sharing your ideas, it’s a great inspiration.
Wishing you safe, happy & adventures travels, to you and your wife.
This is the best example I've seen.. Hoping to build a Photo Van for taking wild life photography day trips. Enabling me to process and set us as well and take bio breaks in the wild.... How much weight did your buildout add to the van and how does that effect your fuel usage and ride and shocks?
So nice inspirational. Awesome! Please be safe, not sure if we'll nomads should give out our travel plan. If l to paranoid so sorry! Have joy be safer
I wish you would do some insulation in the van bc we have long winter season here
3/4” plywood is super heavy! Seems 1/2” or 5/8” would make lot more sense.
Can you tell me where ypu purchased the cushions for bed.Thank you! Love your van!
1Do you have a video that shows how you attached the doweling for your curtains? Want to do this on my Sienna! Thanks
Beautiful! I have a question though. Did you put in any insulation?
great craftsmanship. How much weight do you think it added?
What rails are these for the solar? They fit perfectly. Want
Thanks for the video! How come you decided not to demo the inside to the metal? How did you remove the passenger seats? Do they come out easily?
Saw this one after I watched the other one, you did get the solar panels from Amazon 👍
Yes. And they fit perfectly
Very nice did you put insulation?
What did you do with the ceiling vents for heat and ac? I assume you decided you wouldn't be needing them and blocked them off.
I've officially come to the conclusion my initial van build will be a regular minivan while I continue to work but live way cheaper saving up until eventually I afford the pro masters build
It would be very thankful to have the parts list of mounting the solar panel. 谢谢。
How do you get to the rear strut mounts? Might need to be replaced more often given the weight.
The new Toyota Sienna’s have a curtain airbag that runs the length of the side coming out of the top. So it would be very dangerous to build up any sidewalls. Too bad, it sure is pretty and functional.
WOW.
How did you attach the side panels to your car walls?
What's the best battery saw 4 customizing?
What materials you used for the ceiling? What does it call?
Does anyone know if these guys do this for a living and can be contracted to do this???/ They're amazing.
Isn’t all the heavy duty plywood heavy & make mileage a lot worse ? I wonder if 1/4 plywood or even heavy duty paneling would be sufficient and allow for better mileage ?
That's what im thinking too 🤔
In the video he said he chose heavier plywood because it was stronger and didn't flex as much, which made it easier to work with. Lighter material works if it's not going to carry too much weight, it's not going to be jostled too much doing your travels, and you're going to keep the humidity down so it doesn't warp too much.
This looks very nice, did it affect your gas mileage? I was just thinking about the weight added-esp the wood.
Do you have the link for the solar panels and/or a detailed video for this build?
How did you run the wires from the solar panels to the battery bank
Beautiful work but thats got to be heavy af.
What do the plywood sides attatch to so it can stay up?
best
You are very nifty. That saves a lot of money.
