- Van Conversion: I want to be able to stand up in my van so my dad and I are raising the van roof in my Chevy Express. The second step is reattaching the fiberglass roof that we cut off in Part 1. (This is part 2 of 4 videos in this series.)

I must say. You are really going to cherish this time with your parents and having it on video is absolutely great. Time flys and having these videos makes your future less threatening as you grow older. Good for you. 🥲
Lol, your dad is funny. He said, "it's all you daughter."
You are so
Lucky to have your parents help and care
Yes they are definitely a blessing!! 🙏🏼
Wow! There are so many wonderful things happening here. The journey your on with your parents...priceless. 🤗🤗
It really is! It's been a wild ride so far.
SO SO SO GRATEFUL for you sharing your experience!
It's like making a prototype, except it's the only one, not a test piece. Y'all did fine; nobody died.I've said that about several projects over the years. Got it done and nobody died!
Awesome 👏🏾 Parents! You are very blessed! Love the videos!
Yes indeed! They are awesome. And thanks for watching!
It’s a pretty van from the outside. Well that was amazing how you put that top on, thank God for your dad and mom, I can’t wait to see the next video.
Thank you!! And yes I'm blessed to have such help from my parents. 😊
I love this! I like how you keep it real, not editing the real life frustrations!! I love living in my van and am considering raising the ceiling too. Thanks for your videos!!!
I'm glad this was helpful! Raising the roof was a LOT of work, but now that it's done I'm very glad I did it so I can stand up. Thanks for watching!
I just found your channel today so I have been watching from the day you got the van and I'm at this video now .. just binge watching to see how many videos you have.. catch a in a later video 👍
Glad you found the channel! Thanks for watching!!
This looks like a ton of work & stress! I’m thinking to have this professionally done would probably cost between $4k-$6k! Cost for parts, labor & frustration…. I have no idea how you all made it this far! 😮
Yeah if I did this with my family someone would be leaving in a body bag lol 😂🤷🏻♀️
DOH! 😣 Tensions can get very high when working on a big project like this!!
Brilliant video keep them coming Allison
Joker Joker she’s beautiful bro
Thanks, will do!!
Thank you
Wow, that looked really heavy. Good going.
It was!! But with the three of us we got it done. Thanks for the encouragement!
I am so invested in this build
Yay! Thanks for watching!
Oh my word!!! It’s official - I COULD NEVAAAAAAA! Lol I would have quit already. Also, I do not have the kind of patience you and your dad do. At this rate, and for all this trouble, you better live in this van for the next 30 years lol
I can’t wait to see what’s gonna happen next!!
hahahaa! It's a labor of love AND it's a real test of my patience FOR REAL!! Trust me, I'll be living in it for awhile!! :)
Teamwork 💪🏼 it’s coming together 😎
Yep yep!! One day at a time!!
Lol well that's definitely real life all families argue doing stuff together nice van
Yes indeed! Thanks for watching and for the nice compliment.
@@travelsnacks most welcome
Hi Allison, Loved listening to your live today. I know you do it at 2:00pm every Saturday but i can only listen to it the next day. I has become a routine for me every Sunday. Thank you for touching on many things. I have a silly question for you. Why can't you post more content during the week. This will help growing your channel. You can video your morning wake up, coffee time, yoga time maybe. People like us gravitate to seeing people in there daily routine. Thank you.
I'm glad to hear I'm part of your Sunday routine! In terms of posting more content, the filming is no problem. I'm pretty much doing that all day. The issue is the editing. It takes me many hours to edit one video. With the van build and other obligations I end up with limited time at the end of the day. I'm really trying to add more content so hang in there with me!
Oh bless I’ll fly over and take you all out for nice meal and come give you a hand so you can get back out in the country side and enjoy life
Thanks for the encouragement!
You are lucky your dad has all the tools!
Most definitely! It would be very costly if I had to buy all new tools.
Is it a car a van or a boat on wheel but what ever it is you need get back on the road and start saving money to buy your loo roll and your food good video keep them coming you tube would be lost with out you here tc bs alws see you on the road soon lol
👍🏼
those side boards where real overkill, you should have just used 3/8 marine grade plywood, those heavy boards are really going to add to the vans top heavyness
Oh bless you should make your mum and dad breakfast and lunch and tea every day for least 5 weeks to pay them back for all their help
Connor Mcloud Yep! I am blessed to have them!
Travel Snacks yes you are secret name travel snacks my real name is Greg lol
Its slowly coming together. How is you're doing now is she feeling better
It sure is, day by day! She is doing better - still being monitored but better for sure! Thank you for asking! ❤️
Looking good btw have you heard of vancity vanlife channel?
Thanks! And Yes, I'm subscribed to Vancity Vanlife!
Never mind it short you can always walk around on your knee lol
Nope! We will succeed in raising it so I can live in it properly.
Putting on a High Top is THE hardest thing you can do in a Van Build. You'll get through this.!!! Wait until you get to the Solar Stuff...
You guys!
😊
carbon fiber best material for van lift , aluminum I beams 2nd best , 3rd lt plywood with metal bracig
Good suggestions!! Thanks!
Wow you are adding a lot of weight
Yes definitely. But it's still within the weight limit for this van.
I dare ask, is it water tight?
I hope so!! We did spray it down afterwards and there weren't any leaks! (Plus it's rained since then and also no leaks...🙌🏻 )
OMG
😊
Is it a car or caravan lol or is it super car a van lol
I like to call it a Super Snackmobile!
Can you go stronger 🤣
Never answered me are you married and have loads of kids some where on that a lonely road ????
Not married. I have two grown sons who live on their own.
Your stress makes me stress...
😖
