This is one of the best most efficient builds I’ve seen
I started my van build with monkey see, monkey do, from your build videos. Tomorrow will be the first trip away in my 99% complete van. Thank you for sharing your build process, it was a huge help to this first-timer.
Please god, no more Bunnings runs for a while!
You found an amazing guide with this channel. A very ambitious type of build for a first effort so if you followed their template well done! I think the electrical system here is the best I've seen and they were so generous with the detailed plans and step-by-step.
Thats so great to hear! I hope your first trip goes well. You generally find small things to change and alter on a first trip! good luck!
I used the sub-floor design, small parts of the framing and leaned heavily on the insulation technique and materials, then diverged completely because I wanted a lighter build and more of a wood cabin feel - so lots of varnished wood. But when I started it was basically a carbin copy of the floor and insulation. I also wanted a larger battery capacity so went with four 100Ah Renogy lithium batteries but the same DC to DC charger and basic fuse box design. It turned out to be a really well insulated and comfortable space, so full credit to the salty van!
Smart & beautiful build! Love the toothbrush cabinet because it’s dedicated & keeps them separate plus it’s so cute! Love the cross breeze kitchen windows. Love all the storage cabinets. They are solid, clean looking, & large enough to maximize space.
You two have overcome difficult times and produced an amazing home, congratulations!
Thank you so much!
Have been a subscriber for a while now and have watched your build series at least 3 times!
Currently building out a 2008 transit and have taken lots of your ideas as inspiration.
Fantastic job and look forward to more videos 👍👍
That is awesome! thank you so much
This is the most beautiful and intelligent van conversion I've ever seen! So many details are made with love and knowledge! Congratulations to you young and cute guys!
Wow, thank you so much. Appreciate it!
I love everything. It's so well thought out and you have done a wonderful job of crafting it . My favourite thing is that beautiful macrame curtain 😍
Aww thank you so much. We love the macrame too. You wouldn’t believe there is like 150m of rope in that thing 😂
Awesome conversation and video! Thanks for putting in the extra effort 😊
Nice job guys! I am doing my first build atm so your tips and tricks are invaluable. Thanks!
Glad to help!
Guys literally you are amazing
I actually got a lot of inspiration from your videos. I also have a transit and almost “finishing” the main parts for the European summer
Great job
Aww thanks so much! So glad to have spread some inspiration. Good luck with your travels in Europe!
Great build guys. Love the layout and all the space conservation. Well done!
Thanks so much!
Amazing job! I can't imagine the number of hours of planning and sheer physical work you put into this! Well done!
Thank you so much! Many many many hours!
I have been watching your videos for about a year. Went back and watched some older ones too. Your van turned out amazing. We just started our transit build in late April. It is our early retirement plan. Going full time to see North American. I look forward to your future adventure videos.
Wow that sounds like a great plan. Early retirement is the goal and to keep on travelling in the van for sure. Good luck with your conversion!
I think this is one of the best van designs I've seen - really love what you did with it and maximized all of the storage too.
Aww you're too kind. Thank you so much
@@SALTYVANVENTURES &&hhía485
Absolutely gorgeous! An incredibly well planned floor plan, so practical yet beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Watching the video and seeing all the work done was eye popping. The fit and finish looks way way way better than any of the manufactured ones. This is one awesome 😎 build.
Aww you're too kind. Thank you! 😊
Great design and amazing craftsmanship I love a lot of what you have done with this. Planning a van build DIY style so thanks for the inspiration.
Awesome! Thank you!
Wowwww!! We ate about to get a transit and this video is giving me so many ideas! Thank you for sharing!!
I hope it can help you out with your van build journey! good luck!
Well... You just got a subscriber and probably a potential future customer! My dream's to live out of a van like this just with some slight tweaks. It's just beautiful guys honestly.
The little I learnt about design through my last course at college really taught me how to appreciate the thought and work that you guys put into it!
I'm currently at school doing an electrician's qualification after which I'd probably do a carpentry/wood working course and start dabbling in the dark arts of design again :)
You guys are a true inspiration, thanks for creating all this, and may the Ford be with you ;)
Thanks so much. I hope it all works out for you then and good luck with your trainings
Nicely done! Lots of great ideas. As a fellow engineer I appreciate the little functional details. Also great video editing - no wasted time. Thanks!
Thank you very much!
This is one of the most functional van conversions I've seen. I like the rear shower set up and the rear deck platform.
Thanks so much, we appreciate the kind feedback
This design deserves an award. Great job!
Haha thanks so much. We would accept any award 🥇
Shortage is on point! And that back window design, clean!
That back window is one of my proudest achievements 😂
Curly was an early home of surfing.
Beautiful layout, very functional.
Your have really learnt from your earlier builds and living the life.
Great colours.
Salty pools is a South American phrase for ocean swimming pools.
Thanks mate, Freshie actually but good eye for spotting the location!
The best conversion with the best tech I've ever seen. From electrical to hardware, you guys really know what you're doing. And so cozy and inviting. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much!
Omg I love 💕 everything about this build, congratulations 👏🏻 🎉 to you both, it’s amazing 🤩, I want mine to turn out like this 👍🏻
Thank you so much. Yes we put our heart and soul into this van and we cant be happier, or prouder!
Love the counter space BETWEEN the stove and sink
It’s just enough to be functional but not too big that it would take up too much space!
This van build is inspirational. So cool!
Cheers guys! Appreciate it immensely
Lots of inspiration here for me, looking at getting an ISUZU npr box truck to convert into a full stealth camper & portable office ... nice to see a fellow Aussie doing an awesome job. Thanks for the tour. ❤
Go for it!
This is absolutely one of the most beautiful Vans I have seen to date great job enjoy your travels.
wow what a compliment! Thanks so much!
Great tour guys. I have the same van but 2010. I originally had a mid roof which I converted myself I love my van but at 5’8” I could not stand up so bit the bullet and bought the high roof model. My layout is similar I just have cupboards both sides. I have 2 dogs I travel with so I don’t have a garage as I have built in crates under the bed. Your videos have been fantastic and I will be referring to them as I progress with the build. Wishing you all the best with your adventures around Australia. Such a cute couple! 😁🐾🐾
I think the single most important feature of a van is the ability to stand up. It will save your back. We would love to travel with a dog or cat one day and make a little home for it under the garage where we have the door that opens under the sliding table. Thanks for the lovely comment!
This video came on randomly after I went down the rabbit hole of youtube vids lol BUUUTT....As I watched the intro, I was immediately invested lol Great vid🤙🏻 May all your journeys be blessed with nothing but love and joy🤙🏻
RUclips algorithm doing me a solid! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the small touches like the magnetic black screen. Well done 👍
Thank you 😊
Real impressive guys!! Nice job!! Did mention your patience!! Be safe!
Wow. This is a wonderful off-grid system you've put together. Using solar for alternator is genius. ❤️ The big bed x 💯 and kitchen and attention to details. An amazing build. Only wish for me would be ability to shower inside on cold days. Such a lovely couple. You make me proud. Thank you for sharing this sweet van with the luxurious cedar. 👌
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow! Beautiful and smart van build! Love it from start to finish! Speaking of finish: This tiny projector is just as awesome!
Thanks for sharing all this! 💕
Yew we love it. It probably doesn’t get enough use as it should though
@@SALTYVANVENTURES Don't have a van yet but I need that one once I do... 🤣
Thank you for the tour it's very nice. I had to work with one of those fans driving all over the country and I had to have space for my clothing and things since I cooked in the van through although it was for cargo so I could not make it look nice, but the storage on the top that you showed where you have boxes and stuff I found these long Rectangular plastic tubs in the automotive department of Home Depot. They were great. They fit perfect all four and I would slide them in and out very easy, and I could see even though I'm 5'2"what was in them and I had labeled them I had a sign each plastic tub one was for shoes. One was for my pants and T-shirts. Another one was for my coats and other clothing on the way is it socks so everything was a Maitland put away and I folded it and put it square of clothing, so that it fit wrinkle it was perfect, so maybe those boxes actually have a sliding return it's easier to manage whole space cubby on the top of the driver and passenger seat
I'm impressed with the number of storage you have created.
You can never have too much storage!
Love the layout. Really well done. Rooftop is fantastic. Great job!
Thank you very much!
This is a beautiful, well built van. You thought of everything! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Congratulations on your beautiful home on wheels. Magnificent job. Absolutely outstanding.
Thank you we absolutely love it☺️
You both did a great job. I enjoyed every minute of this detailed video. Wish you both a very happy and save journey.
Thank you so much. Appreciate it
I Absolutley loved your van tour , my name is Timmy i live in UK , i think the was you described your van was in such Great and precise detail , the effort and also the design with so much flair . im a Huge van and subscriber now . Thankyou so much . Timmy .
That’s so much Timmy! Appreciate it. Glad you liked the tour 😌
This is the best van layout, build, and video, that I have seen!!!
Wow, thanks!
The most beautiful van I’ve seen, a piece of art!
wow, im speechless
Best van build I've seen, really nice job, congrats
11:36 The dent in the door may be an aesthetic rustic choice - but you can repair it by laying a damp towel over the dent and running a clothes iron over it. Good storage designs.
I love the van and the couple, clean, extremely well thought out van.
Cheers thank you 😊
Thanks! Really amazing how you two people, have so many things, traveling with you two! 💛💙💔🇻🇪
Thank you! 😃 We absolutely love it
Great job and explanation of electronics and our Aussie weather stuff. It would be easy to adjust to have room for a fold up electric bike in the back boot area.
I still like Eamon and Bec's bed/seating design where it folds down, my dog would fit where the have a guest bed.😉
I do like their design too. It's original and very practical.
You guys have an awesome van. Nice to see some Aussie vans
Not enough on here right!
I hope to build a van one day, and your build has lots of great ideas!
thank you! You can do it!
Jim from Ohio 🇺🇸
👍very nicely done guys👍
Being able to stand makes such a difference 👍😊
It’s a game changer!
I think what you have built is absolutely amazing
I had an iveco van and was going to do a similar thing but it didn’t work out
But i see the roof vent which I have used and they are fantastic especially with the in and out function
I had also planned to use those same windows in my van
I’m glad to see they do work so well and if I get to build a camper van I definitely will buy them
Happy travels and thanks for a great video 👍👍👍
Thank you, yes we absolutely love the windows and the vent system in the van. Hugely important that is often overlooked.
Fantastic van guys! You should be proud of what you've built! 😊
Thanks so much!
Nice work, thinking about doing something similar, great guide!
Glad it was helpful!
What a lovely van. Congratulations. Very well built. Best wishes and safe travels.
Thank you kindly!
I haven't built my van yet, but after watching your video I've decided to go with pop-out windows because the rain factor never crossed my mind. Thanks!
They are definitely the way to go! Much more versatile than sliding windows.
There are other less expensive options for ventilation during rain but he did do a great job with the install of the windows!
LOVE IT.....AWESOME USE OF SPACE ...I WOULD LOVE A VAN LIKE THIS......WELL DONE ....SIMPLY CLEVER AND ELEGANT
Thank you 🙏
WOW!! Amazing! I love everything about your beautiful home on wheels.
I would need an inside shower but I’m an old grandma so that might explain that! Lol! You two are so great together & your home showed that. Great, innovative ideas & build!
Perfect! 👏🏻❤️ Safe Travels!
Thank you so much!
I hope you're getting a 'lost touch with the common man' shirt for Christmas mate, because this is one of the fanciest van builds I've seen, must be very nice. haha, nah, love your work mate. Super inspired by your designs and craftsmanship👌🏼
Haha I was thinking of making a lost touch with the common van shirt!
You are uncommon mate! That is an insanely well thought out build. Big time inspiration for many who want to go down this path, me included.
Wow you thought of everything……what an amazing job you did….. good luck and safe travels
Thank you! You too!
Awesome build! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it ☺️
Awesome conversion and informative video. Thank you
No worries 😌
Great job guys. So many good features.
Thank you 🙏
Absolutely brilliant. So many useful and convenient features. Particularly the kitchen, fixed bed & ample storage. For me, an interior shower and private toilet space is a must, but those are personal preferences. I could see this layout working well for many vanlifers. Well done my friends, you have definitely aced it! Much love from NYC xx
🎓
Our pleasure! Yes an internal shower would be a must for us too if the van was not in Australia. The great thing about this country as it is very easy to find privacy for a shower. This may not be the case in say North America or Europe. We have discussed building a van in Europe and we would opt for an internal shower for this reason.
I agree with the private bathroom.
This my friends is the best, the best, did I say best, incase I didn’t I’ll say it again, the best van build ever, true tradesman design and quality finish. THE BEST! Seriously the best guys!
Holy guacamole, best comment so far! I'm blushing haha. Thank you sir, you're the best!
I’ve been on your journey for quite some time and you deserve it. I’m a fitter n turner and I assure you, you covered every aspect of a build I would do. Well done champ. Regards, Mario
There's nothing better than seeing another human so genuinely happy for another person ❤️
Much love to you Mr Keenaz
Thank you Cat. He is a true craftsman.
You're capping. JUST stop 🛑 🙄

No problem! Thank you 😊
I could definitely live here.
Super beautiful and incredible conversion.
Glad you like it!
Must be nice!! Good to see you're in touch with the common man 😉
Must be very nice! In touch with the common man, Out of touch with the common van
