  • This video is a breakdown explanation about the thought process behind this van conversion, and how we decided to build out our dream tiny home. We documented the entire project from start to finish, and each episode can be found on this channel! Our budget was $25K ($13K of which we spent on the empty cargo van)

I finished it all within a week, just before my last paper.😂 Now that I've completed I wish I had the patience to wait to come home and watch it. But I'll rewatch it all.

    Perfectly designed, crafted and implemented with the end-user in mind, that, being yourselves. 3D printing your own themed holders, switch housings, etcetera really adds to the overall visual aesthetics that makes your van truly "one of a kind" . Seeing your skillset being put to full use reminds me of a quote from Arthur Fletcher - "A mind is a terrible thing to waste". I am now following along to see where this journey takes you. 👑🚐💚

    Spray foam installation would be the best way to trap yourself from outside but it has to be given enough time to cure, otherwise you might
    face very hazard health issue. There are so many cases in law suit against foam installer in many homes. Give it a enough time to cure !!!

    Truly impressed. By the way, you could save a TON of space from the ebikes by learning to ride electric unicycles.
    Its challenging at first, but absolutely nothing beat the size/range they provide. Plus, they are a ton of fun.
    Only drawback is that its a "gear up, all the time" thing, but you seem to be safety conscious already 😊.

      It is, more dangerous in other words :) Less practical for bringing cargo like groceries when we park off grid. I always had this concept in mind of keeping one EUC in the trunk of our small car where I can’t fit ebike. Super cool for quick transport within a city.

    I know that in the country I grew up in, if you got an e-bike that could do 80kph or more, it needed a number plate just like any other car or motorbike, so I was wondering if that applied to yours too!

    I need to share some knowledge, the white glue you're using to glue the fabric to the wooden panels is actually bad, like the glue is very bad.
    There is better glue for it, how do I know? Our family owns a car upholstery and we make luxury car interiors and also repairs.
    This glue will loose it's power once it gets lil too humid inside the van.
