This is nice, but the toilet looks like it's only accessed from the outside? That seems problematic for bad weather or nighttimes. Also a chest fridge would be more efficient and more practical. Icould see a sleeper (especially kids) up top leaning into the tent sides as they slept, putting pressure on the frame and fabric sides. I like the stealth factor on this rig, and the low ceiling for better gas mileage on the hwy. As a single adult though, not so sold on the top bunk.. Maybe it could be used as a dog bed at night? Not sure if that would work for anything other than just standing room when parked.
toilet can be accessed from the inside with some shuffling. we didn't really intend for renters to always be using this toilet though, most camp at sites with toilets anyway. chest fridges are nice, but they can also take up a bit of room when slid out -- also, not sure if it's more efficient, that norcold we have is amazingly efficient as is. the bed up top is wide enough that people don't seem to lean into the tent up top, but even if they did it's rather robust and wouldn't be too big of a problem (I've slept up top with my twin boys and we did just fine). Top bed is also the intended 'master suite' for adults and lower bed is where we figured the kids would go in these rentals. Definitely not the right conversion for everyone, but it's been a home run with our renters over the last few years for sure. thanks for the comment!
The placement for the propane heater exhaust is not in the best place - if you'll open the kitchen side windows you can suck the exhaust fumes into the cabin.
Thankfully there's a few feet there for the exhaust to dissipate and I've never noticed the smell coming into the van at all. There's also a maxxair fan up top that helps move fresh air through the van when needed. Thanks for commenting!
If that's the look and stealth-type urban camper you're going for then yes, I assume it would be easier. We aren't concerned with stealth camping though and wanted to create a camper for our rental business that seated and slept five people. We also enjoy the lower-profile roofline (and so does the gas mileage, for that matter) that the custom poptop gives. For our purposes, this is the perfect conversion and our renters tend to agree. Thanks for the comment.
@@rockymountaincampervans3027 after some thing it would be easyer to just buy an Old Fex truck or ups truck and leave the paint job on it . Every one loves to recive an package in the mail . So why dont you make an camper out of one . Just dont cut any windows of it .
We're not really in it to do the "easy thing", @@MyIronman8. We're out to make and rent amazing campers that not everyone can do. Your ideas are great for someone looking to make their own camper for less money and we know of plenty of stealth campers done that way. That's just not out business model. We also don't think our renters would want to drive around in an old FedEx truck with the logos still on it and provide those companies with the free advertising ;)
Thank you, finally somebody explaining how to use stuff 💗
2:25 "Okay, so the first thing you need to do to raise the roof..." Is put on some jams!
nice thorough walkthrough! just the water inlet better be locked for safety reason?
