I absolutely love the way you guys show a quick video of the entire build in the intro so viewers can decide whether they want to spend the time watching the entire video without wasting our time!!! Love the build. Keep up the great work!
This van is a death trap. A (single) rear or front end collision with cause most that wood to shatter and splinter , sending projectiles all throughout the van. The batteries also will come flying forward ripping free of the cables. 20 other terrible problems besides the immediate obvious I just pointed out. Safety before pretty visuals are the things to keep focused on .
@@richkreyche7064 can you explain the wood issue further. I'm building out a Chevy Express and want to line the walls and ceiling with cedar wood. How can I make it safe? Thx! I'm very new to Van life.
@@yogawithkeigan you cannot buy any vehicle on earth from any automaker with wood ceilings or walls, for good reason. Wood shatters like a grenade with impact. I’m sure you’ve seen the ( crash dummy’s) test on tv for airbags. The wood fragments even (spear) the airbags. I’ve worked in surgery for 30 years with countless Van injuries from projectiles in accidents. This guy doesn’t even have a cage separator ( forgot the term) btw the cargo area and front passenger seats. You may drive for 30 years without accident but everyone has one at some point in time. Possible solution for ceiling n walls is 4 by 8 sheets of that mold proof pvc at Home Depot???? Just a guess , that, 1 or 2 large pieces are safer than 40 or 50 pieces of pretty cedar? I’m gonna build out a van late next year. Just using common sense. Keep weight low above most things. Watch what auto makers do and don’t do!
The inside is da bomb .. I have an E150 with one overload leaf in the back each side and 2 inch blocks. I also put "Moog" E450 springs in the front with a one inch coil spring spacer and alignment keys to give the van a "2WD Van with a 2.5 inch lift". If you've already done this. Disregard and enjoy your van handling better than the best Porsche cars. Dope van ...enjoy it.
I have a v10 extended. 05. Love it and this van build is well done. You did an exquisite version of the back seat and fold down to bed mode of my 1975 type II Bus. Like a super extended remix version it's fantastic.
Its so roomie & that makes all the difference. I like the seat/pottie. I would like the bed lower but U did everything spot on! Good job & thanks for sharing😎👍💪✌
dude! thank you! been looking for a simple but practical build for my 79 e350 quadravan. this is perfect! hits all the points without cramming too much in or trying to make it an apartment. just wanted something to take to the mountains or desert for 2-7 days. this build rocks.
Loved it!!! I finally bought my Ford E-250 van today, going to start my conversion next month -- your video gave me some great ideas -- thank you, thank you!!
Nice build brother. Perfect for traveling and hitting trails wherever. I'm in the very beginning stages of my adventure. Looking for the right van and the specs I require. It's been a long search and to be honest,a pain in the ass. I'm picky and once I find the right one, I'm off to the races with the build. A lot of research and figuring out what I need and where to incorporate stuff. Your video was awesome, nice planning and placement. I've been planning for almost 3yrs and have been living out of my car for over a year to get a feel for needs and necessities along the way b4 the purchase of the right van for me. Thanks for the insight and inspiration, many happy trails to you
Love the build,the only 2 things I would change is the My Buddy heater ( gives a wet heat need a dry heat [, help cut down mold problems]) and add a portable shower
The truth seems to me the best conversion ... I loved the distribution and the way you hid the kitchen, normally there are many designs of rolling kitchens. Greetings from Argentina
I love this except I am putting in a diesel heater and 4L16 scrubber batteries. I am glad to have more power and 400 watts solar. 20 gallon diesel tank will be in what is your garage area and front and back custom bumpers with locked aluminum tool boxes for storage. But kudos on all, I am soo copying many things you did! Love it! Hope mine turns out half as nice
Also I got lucky, Mine is a former handicap van so my floor was already dropped 6-8 inches throughout all but back axle area and is heavily reinforced. Just wish I could afford 4x4 :( Mine is a 2001 Econoline Club Wagon but was just $2000
Really liked the video but the intro music was too loud and your voice was too low. So I had to turn the volume way down at first and then crank it for the remainder.
I like what you did. And I too would lower the bed some. I have a line on a 2008 E-350 cargo van that is already insulated and covered in the back, but empty otherwise. It has a reconditioned 3.0 Turbo Diesel engine (not the original). It was wintered in Florida and has NO RUST. The price ($10K) is higher than I thought for a van this old, but everything is in super condition. Haven't decided yet.
Beautiful!! I might have to look you up. I'm in Marysville, Wa and seriously looking to down size from my ( park model) tiny house and buying a school bus to convert. Thank you for sharing, Nate ✌🌏✌

Hi! I’m looking at a 2005 E350 with the 6.8L V10, is yours equipped with the same engine?
Ok I’ll
Seriously. So well thought out. I'd pay him to build one for me
This is probably the best Ford low top conversion I’ve ever seen.
Agreed. Until mines is done.
#2.
I was thinking the same thing
Great job!
Indeed very good
This is THE van build. I've probably watched a hundred of these tours. This might be the best one.
Agree, definitely one of the best layouts for a low roof I have seen as well!
This guys the definition of chill
I absolutely love the way you guys show a quick video of the entire build in the intro so viewers can decide whether they want to spend the time watching the entire video without wasting our time!!! Love the build. Keep up the great work!
Glad you enjoy it!
Dude your woodwork is friggin killer, good stuff!!
I love this! Especially the wood...I can’t wait to start my skoolie build in 7 months.. I definitely want a lot of wood and different textures.

@@richkreyche7064 wow makes senses! Thank you! Didn't even think about the added weight.
Nice - Jeff Spicoli all grown up. Masterclass conversion. Thanks for the tour.
I love the wood asthetic and creative set up. The ingenuity of it also reminds me of Forestry Forests' minivan set up. How refreshing!
Very nice build! I love the amount of storage and the slide out stove is awesome. Good inspiration for my stealth build in a ford E150
Now this is what you call a "sleeper".
Dang you have an awesome setup!
Good ideas, lived in a truck for 3 years and simplicity is the key. The dude knows what he’s talking about.
Dude looks chill.
What a fantastic build, wow! Love the low profile cabinets and layout. So ingenious!
I love all the small cubbies and stash spots. Those are ridiculously useful
Totally!

This rig is dialled! I can appreciate the craftsmanship here.
Sir, you are the master!! You have done an awesome job with your rig!!🤙
All the secret storage in this amazing rig is perfect !!! This is one of the most efficient rigs if ever seen. What a great job !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love when I see someone enjoying life.
I love the camper but I have to let this man know I have the same hoodie. Good choice.
Very nice van conversion
What a completely well thought out conversion...the best that I've seen ! Bravo !
I have a v10 extended. 05. Love it and this van build is well done. You did an exquisite version of the back seat and fold down to bed mode of my 1975 type II Bus. Like a super extended remix version it's fantastic.
I'm currently a 5th-wheeler. But I could certainly bug-out in a rig like that! "Livin the nomadic dream"!!!
Wow, this is absolutely incredible. Best low roof van build I’ve ever seen hands down. Gorgeous work. The stove slide out was very smart
Killer van and the best van video on RUclips, no wasted words just straight to the point much appreciated and a dope hoodie.
Thanks for watching!
There it is........... the new gold standard for the low top van.
Agree. This layout seems perfect!
I love how he calls the underbed storage a garage 😂 good vibes lol
Its so roomie & that makes all the difference. I like the seat/pottie. I would like the bed lower but U did everything spot on! Good job & thanks for sharing😎👍💪✌
Porta potti is a must. NOT a bucket like some profess. Good job.
Would have liked to seen the exterior though-rims,tires, etc
Yew!! Sick build for the mtn. Nate seems rad as hell too 🏂
Awesome build
Very conscious build. Brilliant with the stove hidden under near the door. Well done.
This is so beautiful . I love the set up first time I ever saw someone be able to cook from the toilet lol
dude! thank you! been looking for a simple but practical build for my 79 e350 quadravan. this is perfect! hits all the points without cramming too much in or trying to make it an apartment. just wanted something to take to the mountains or desert for 2-7 days. this build rocks.
Wow nice to see someone does the wiring neatly. Very nice!
Prob the best E series build I’ve seen! Very nice. Especially the garage.
Glad you like it!
*cool I love it I know whoever gets this van will love it*
I love it bro I have been in the talks with the wifey about the Econoline E350 conversion for like you say the weekend warrior stuff.
Actually one of the best diy van builds I’ve seen. Wish you were on the East coast, I’d have you build mine.
Woh knarly dude…every nook and cranny dialed…super epic..
Best tour yet I’ve seen straight to the point! Thumbs up
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just slightly beyond EXCELLENT!!!
Very nice build, love all the wood.
Glad you like it
I have to agree with so many other comments; this is probably the best van layout I've seen
My next build will definitely have that tall bed for the garage underneath!
I immediately recognized that park , cool conversion man!
Very functional and neat.
I keep our large fridge between the front seats as well. Pretty convenient while driving/eating & space.
Very nice work and well thought out.
Definitely a thumbs up 👍
Thanks for the visit
That's some serious carpentry work! I was sold on the seat crate hidden toilet compartment.
You and me both!
Wow! Super rad design!!! 👌👌👌👌
I’m very fascinated by there vans and campers but I don’t have the knowledge or the ability to build these things myself. Great job it looks sick
In love with this man (and this van)
Dude love the build bro love the cedar never thought of that wood SICK AF
WOW...
I am getting a Ford e350 extended and building a camper, but after looking at your layout. Shit.. I may need to rethink things.
i was thinking the same thing I just picked an 2013 E250 last week I had ideas , but what Nate just built gave me a better idea
mine is a E250 extended aswell
Loved it!!! I finally bought my Ford E-250 van today, going to start my conversion next month -- your video gave me some great ideas -- thank you, thank you!!
Great 👍🏻 camper build you made. Simple but loads of features.
Thank you for the tour of your van.
🇺🇸🙏🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Glad you liked it!
Hey Nate love your van build...so unique and creative.... thanks for the video 👍👍👍👍
this is absolutely dope
Love the setup! I always struggle with gear that won’t dry so thanks for the inspiration!

i like the way you can cook a meal while taking a dump
Super sick build. Well done.
I'm glad you like it

Thanks for the suggestions!
Nah
Sweet 350 well thought out !!😀
Bellingham! I miss living in Ferndale. And my favourite camping spots by My. Baker...up at the ski park.
Is Coconut Kenny's still their?
And award for the best low top conversion goes to Mr. Nate.
Agreed!
Nate I love that. Awesome job
Great build man! I'm in the middle of building out my 07' e350. I like the modular approach too!
Right on!
Awesome ride man!
I seriously want to come back as you in my next life!
This is Awesome! U r a talented dude!
The truth seems to me the best conversion ... I loved the distribution and the way you hid the kitchen, normally there are many designs of rolling kitchens.
Greetings from Argentina
2006 e350..with small v8.. one of best Van's ever :)
WOW! awesome build you have there!
I'm glad you like it
Nice build - great choice with the red cedar.
I think so too!
@@trailandsummit7621 did it sell?
Great build. A few things i might do different but i learned more than i could recomend seattle needs to be in my mirror soon.
Right on
This is so beautiful 😭
Another plus side to having cedar is the oil in it repels most insects. ✌
This looks incredible. Wish I was skilled enough to make something like this. Shout out Bellingham! Born and raised 🤟
Very nice build. The only thing I would change is sealed and vented compartments for the batteries and propane.
Do you have a link for the wood stove? im thinking of adding one to my van down the road but im still searching and doing research
Love the roof "deck".
Simple is better when you're off grid. Low tops like this are the soul of vanlife.
I love this except I am putting in a diesel heater and 4L16 scrubber batteries. I am glad to have more power and 400 watts solar. 20 gallon diesel tank will be in what is your garage area and front and back custom bumpers with locked aluminum tool boxes for storage. But kudos on all, I am soo copying many things you did! Love it! Hope mine turns out half as nice

Very nice Van, and Thanks for sharing.
awesome, love this van and your transformation, congrats!!
Us too!

It really is!
Beautiful!! I might have to look you up. I'm in Marysville, Wa and seriously looking to down size from my ( park model) tiny house and buying a school bus to convert. Thank you for sharing, Nate ✌🌏✌
Please do! His instagram is in the description.
I was wondering what was up with the back, bed built so high and all. Then I saw the garage 👌
14k. So amazing. I'm buying a 2003 Ford E350 Extended van in great shape with 117k miles for $6700. If I can do half of what you did I'll be so happy.
The kid in his little minivan in SF, the retired engineer in nor cal? and this van are my favorite ones.
Very nice wise man keep up the good work
Beautiful job. Enjoy
awesome video buddy
Love the Van homie keep livin your best van life 💯
You rock my guy
