This has brought me hope again, 99% of van conversions vans in youtube are made by experienced carpenters/engineers, wealthy people or lucky individuals that have families to help them. Thank you so much.
Oh, no, no, no, no! I have a safari which is about to undergo a "non" build camping transformation! No professional build, electric fancy, expensive work done, just simple, portable work. It will be secured but by the pressure method, easily to be taken out should I decide to buy a newer, bigger van and put the safari back to its original self to sell or trade in. That's what this man is doing, too! Fortunately, because these last several years boondocking and van/car living has just BOOMED and is vastly growing, there are now so many items to purchase for such nomad peoples that you can do it yourself! You can save money and perhaps down the road you can afford to make more elaborate changes if you want or decide you need to. Because of my midsized van I target most of these videos with this size van or smaller like the transit! The car camping videos help, too. The reason being, what styles these bigger vans, school busses etc have, I couldn't do in my van anyway. No room! Keep watching these videos and take notes, keeping in mind what size vehicle you will be living in. I Hope this helps! This is a great and perfect video to start!
I agree entirely! And this guy literally did everything the same as I did haha it's so funny. Even down to the battery he bought is exactly what I own. I spent a small handful for all of these things at first but after it's all in, you save immensely!
Hey can you list the products and the Amazon link do you have a more detailed like comment that you can like say the pump like the links to the items I’ll buy them the links to the fan the links to the pump the links to the generator any help or I’m just passing going through and making my order list I absolutely love this what kind of items where you got them more details please please I love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ pm me upthehappyeveryday
We have an older van too! I built the bed in the back with scrap wood. And converted an old cabinet into a kitchen. We did purchase a toilet and we do find ourselves in places where we need it. I made an interior shower with a foldable swimming pool and a pump sprayer that i found on a hunters website just for taking showers away from home. We loooooove our little cozy home. There is always new little gadgets and solar stuff to add. Oh yes! We have a jackery which covers all our power needs so far. It recharges while driving, which is nice. We have only lived in it when we go on long vacations, but these have been our most memorable vacations. We take four small dogs and a cat. It all started with out wedding anniversary, all i wanted was to eat a pizza on the beach in a van with the doors open. It has led us through so many places, and to fish right out of your bed is awesome when you can back right ip to the water. Now we just start the van and the dogs start crying to get in. I wish I had discovered a van much earlier in my life. Its amazing to have coziness and just walk up to the cab and drive to another location without getting out of pjs. Or sleep on a cliff overlooking the ocean. I could go on and on. We love our van. 😊❤
I greatly appreciate Isaac and how thorough he is in explaining everything he uses for his van! I learned a lot from this video. Great van and video! 👏💖
Excellent interview! I have a Ford conversion van and the way he built his bed is genius and I’m going to get my husband to copy it! Loved all his modular ideas along with the fans as we have a fiberglass uneven roof too! Thanks for sharing this video!
You are a very practical person Isaac, repurposing a family van into a simple stealth RV is simple, cheap and having a concealed base for a 3rd seat is brilliant 😎
Great video production. Clear, concise, no waffle, good ideas, excellent audio, no music. One of the best I've seen in a long time. And I've produced and edited tons of videos. I'll be looking for some of the products, be nice if you could put links to the products, affiliate links will be supported. Thank you again :)
I love how Patrick almost never interrupts his interviewees and also remembers to ask clarifying questions at the end instead of interrupting. That’s *intentional skill* on Patrick’s part. Thank you Patrick.
What a wonderful video! I like this option--that a conversion van is a way to go for insulation/build out already done. So it's much easier to add to this, instead of starting from scratch. Thanks so much!
This is excellent for people wanting or needing to "hit the road" and want to know how to get started, and don't have much or little money. THANK YOU!🤗👍👏
Out of the hundreds of videos I’ve watched on van builds over 2020, this is got to be one of my favorites. Isaac you did an amazing job! I might try to contact you and ask you some of the details of your build.
Just purchased a 1995 Ford Camper van 150 and this conversion is exactly what I needed. I want to keep my costs low. The flooring is genius. I was dreading pulling up the old carpet. While it definitely needs a thorough cleaning, just covering it makes perfect sense. The fan system is so cool. Going to check out the charging system, as well.
This is a wonderfully inventive and economical. I've slept in conversion vans back in the 90s and often thought they'd be cool to live in or camp in. The versatility of this build is brilliant! Just watching this gave me ideas of what I could do with my little SUV and what I have on hand...
Smart and economical design. If you used repurposed sink etc you could bring the build cost down even cheaper. I really like this it shows you don’t have to spend a lot to get started. Good job.
I have a Chevy Classic Conversion Van with the full-on EXPLOYER Company package that I love for my quick Weekenders, Fishing trips and NASCAR outings. My husband and I are serious campers and I wanted something I could take on out outings without have to take our Motorcoach. For my 30th anniversary my husband got me the Van. Absolutely we both adore the whole convenience of having it. HAPPY TRAVELS to You and Yours.
WOW!! This is the most interesting video I’ve seen!! I LOVE the fact that he left everything original in case he wanted to change it back! I especially love that it was so simple to do without a lot of money & looks so nice & not tacky at all!! Thanks so much as I’ve been looking for something similar for myself & my dog to do some traveling when we wanted!! This is absolutely amazing & I can’t Thant thank you enough !! LOVE everything you did with this van!!!😍 Great job!!!
This is exactly what I needed. I love that you thought about resale. This is the first build I have seen keeping the original fold down rear seat as a base for your bed; brilliant! I too am not looking to live in it, just long trips.
Thank you this video. You have provided exactly what I need to know and try out for a few months before I invest $150,000 on a Class B motorhome. I really appreciate you for sharing your many innovative van build ideas and equipment.
Thanks, great information on different options to travel when you are on a limited budget, especially the last three DIY Van Conversions on your channel.
Years ago, I bought a 1998 GMC factory built Conversion Van, new from Dealer. MPG 19 MPG City-Hwy. Road trips, 20 to 21 MPG. Vortec-350, EFI. Transmission came with Overdrive which helped attain good MPG. I drove it conservative, no quick starts or stops, and HWY, generally Speed Limit + 4-5 mph over. Manually tested Gallons used per miles and got consistent results. Pay loaded - 4 kids, wife and camping gear. Overall, very impressed with my Van Model. One issue to factor in-the conversion was built on 1500 frame. With the added weight of the hightop and interior, it went through Brakes often - 30k to 40k miles. It's best to buy a conversion built on 2500 or larger frame to support the weight, or convert the brake and suspension to 2500, which the brake experts recommended. Great Van overall.
Isaac and Patrick - thank you so much for sharing this concept. I know what leisure vans are but had never considered one for weekends or vacations. Great ideas Isaac!
This is awesome. Love the bed concept. I want a campervan for short trips, not fulltime living. This is a great build that doesn't need a bunch of math skills and tools to figure out. 😁👍✌❤🎶
Hey....I have one like this, extended. Exactly right! Me ,beginner and no time to do all the build.. everything put-in..Took out four captain chairs and bench seat in back for two kids convert to bed, two front seats turn into bed with air mattress and a fold up cottage for my kids.
Just bought 1998 Ford e-150 Sherrod turtle top Conversion Van. Was hard to find. Had the same thoughts for easy affordable modifications for this gal to figure out. Haven't started doing as just bought. Your video is an inspiration. My main concern is keeping my cats comfortable, cool, and not being able to escape Van. On a very tight budget, after buying my Van which I LOVE. Whatta great guy. Blessings
Issac Angel...I've been looking at lots of videos trying to figure out best camper, by far this is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you so much for sharing!
I've been letting my fear get in the way for too long. This is so inspiring ❤️. I'm doing it!!!! Thank you for sharing this very doable non build, build lol.
I love this! I’m interested in buying one for FT living and I love the fact that you point out so much is already base built in for you so you need less upgrading and work put into a cheaper simpler build thank you for sharing‼️👍
It is a perfect weekender arrangement. I love to take photographs and to visit Parks or go to the desert or a mountain and take images can be just perfect.
This guy did it right. The market for conversion vans is big enough you can find some good deals out there and any shop should be able to work on them.
thank you, Isaac .. I have been watching youtube videos re: many types of vans and builds for several years now and I must say yours is, perhaps, the best, so I shall be checking it out more closely for my own use .. so, again, thank you so very much, Isaac, for what you offer and your excellent explanations ..
Very nice - he makes a nice conversion by an amateur look possible. Yup, once again, watching an NJOA video is motivating - thanks! I do wish there were a list of the brands/names/models of the items he "just got from" somewhere. After all, knowing specifics avoids the "close but not quite" syndrome.
Anna, you are absolutely AMAZING!!! We so enjoyed watching all that you did on this build, your finances, etc. Superb job - you are something else girl!!! Look forward to seeing more of what you do.
You did a great job! I love the fact that the van can be returned to its original condition if you want to sell it to upgrade, etc. You gave me a ton of great ideas, I am busy looking for a conversion van at the moment. This is a wonderful weekend rig which is exactly what I want.
Love this channel Patrick. I wish i could do the #VanLife thing. All these people are really creative. Thanks for posting another great van and or camper Patrick 😊 another very cool video
This is all I need an it’s very simple tht I can do it myself. I love the way thy did it. Quick an 2 the point an no frustrating buildn tht wud gve u 2nd thouts on livn this lifestyle. Way 2 GO !!!!!👍🏽❤️
Wow, you really put a lot of thought and work into your conversion. I’ve been looking at the gmc savanna 2500 to make for a place to sleep. All I really want is the tv/blue ray hook up. That’s all I really need. I plan on working and being out more than being in the van. Screw paying half of my paycheck going towards rent.
That is a beautiful cozy very practical camper van! I really love it and it's done smartly and simply. What a great job, I've always wanted something like that . Thank you for sharing I really enjoy your videos Patrick
Great idea! I really am not looking into building, this might be a quick solution to test while I finish deciding what my final "home" will be. Thanks for sharing.
I luv conversion vans. My mom had one and when I was in my 20's and we had the best road trips and vacations in it/with it. Great tour and Happy Trails to you Isaac!
Our pleasure! Thank you very much for checking this build out. For more weekend camper van & rv tours please subscribe. ruclips.net/channel/UCZ4P6JaFzImeSWPAr3gGGCQ
Thank you for this I have owned my conversation van for 10 years and wanted to keep the integrity of it as well but convert it. You have shown me the light! I have struggled with the vent fan everyone says you need, I will be purchasing the ones you recommend tomorrow! 😊 thanks again ps if only I were an inch shorter lol. I’m 5’9. The struggle is real!
Great presentation. Thanks for sharing on RUclips. I have a 98 Ford E 150 with the Explorer interior. Took out the two middle seats. I just want to get accessories to live in it when I travel in this terrible pandemic. Stay safe.
i have a 97 ford conversion, love it. been visualizing my build out. you brought it to life,. especially the fan ideas. and the floor your energy source simple and effecient
Patrick, another great find! Getting outdoors shouldn't be expensive or too complicated and I think that Issac showed us how to do it. Another great find and solid video!
Well it's been awhile since I watched this video and had asked some questions. I guess you don't read what people say for ask. I did figure out how and what to use as an awning for my van and how to attach it. I still have to go all the way across the top so that rain won't come in on the side that I want it used for. Anyway I'm enjoying my van alot. Blessings, teri
I just got a conversion van wish you had more of these self made van ready for camping, I am looking for ideas, especially low roof ones. This one is great. I also do not want to change things, it is to nice to rip it all out. I did the search and this was the only one that came up. Thank you
This has brought me hope again, 99% of van conversions vans in youtube are made by experienced carpenters/engineers, wealthy people or lucky individuals that have families to help them. Thank you so much.

Exactly

Thank you very much for sharing your story.
What a nice man. Love how he talks about his van. I can see that he loves hitting the road in her.
Thnak you... yes i love going on little road trips and have a great time with her
This is perfect for so many who won’t go full time and don’t want to spend RV cost to get on the road!
Exactly, no need to spend so much... :)
Add me to the long list of folks who LOVE this video, fantastic and down-to-earth ideas. I am refreshed and hopeful that my van can be a camper.
I like how he is so excited to show everyone his van and how he did it so cheaply:) Happy travels to you.
Proud owner
Thank you... I tried to inspire many other and make them do the same
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures can I see your list like to order items on Amazon like everything possible
Incredible that he could do this for less than 10K, plus labor (his). It's beautiful, and perfectly thought out.
Couldn't agree more!
He makes a good point, for weekend warriors and newbies wanting to get out quick, this is a good idea. Thx Patrick. Have a great day. 🚲
:) Thank you
Very welcome
Been in my van almost 2 years now.. wow
This is one of the best low build vans I’ve seen. Some great ideas
Thank you
We agree!
We 3 agree.
Definitely nice!
I greatly appreciate Isaac and how thorough he is in explaining everything he uses for his van! I learned a lot from this video. Great van and video! 👏💖
Thank you, I tried to make it sound as simple as possible :)
Our pleasure!
)l
I'm so happy I found this. I never find any good ones for conversion vans without major construction. I'm flowing this foot print.
I am glad it was helpful
Wait. WAIT! We need to talk about his cable net Fishermen Hoodie Sweater! Loooove it!
Thank you for the support
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventuresany idea which Amazon water pump he used???
Ty...
I can attest to those Opolars. Kept me alive for 3 summers now in my van.
Good feedback
Excellent interview! I have a Ford conversion van and the way he built his bed is genius and I’m going to get my husband to copy it! Loved all his modular ideas along with the fans as we have a fiberglass uneven roof too! Thanks for sharing this video!
Fantastic!
I'm happy I was able to inspire 😊
If you live a simple lifestyle, (less is more) this is easily a full time mobile home. Awesome job with the creativity and build. God Bless.
Simple but effective. Nice & neat.😊
Thanks a lot 😊
You are a very practical person Isaac, repurposing a family van into a simple stealth RV is simple, cheap and having a concealed base for a 3rd seat is brilliant 😎

Thank you, it serves all we need during our getaways
Wow. I’m not a carpenter or mechanically inclined. This is a camper van even I could build! Thanks for sharing, Isaac!
I love it!
🎄✌️🤙🤘🎄
Trust me , i hardly know how to hold a hammer :) LOL and i made it work... totally doable, even a beginner like myself can do it...
Awesome! Thank you!
Genius and hope for the low budget and non mechanical person! Thanks So much!👍❤️💕
Glad it was helpful!
Out of the hundreds of videos I’ve watched on van builds over 2020, this is got to be one of my favorites.
Isaac you did an amazing job! I might try to contact you and ask you some of the details of your build.
Wow, thanks!
Same here, I've watched dozens of conversations. From $150,000 to this. And This is my fav video. Very inspiring

I love this van conversion. I want to purchase a van. The bed is my favorite. I don't want a twin. I want full. His bed build is perfect.
You got this
I have a Chevy Classic Conversion Van with the full-on EXPLOYER Company package that I love for my quick Weekenders, Fishing trips and NASCAR outings. My husband and I are serious campers and I wanted something I could take on out outings without have to take our Motorcoach. For my 30th anniversary my husband got me the Van.

Oh wow, that sounds like and awesome rig
WOW!! This is the most interesting video I’ve seen!! I LOVE the fact that he left everything original in case he wanted to change it back!

LOVE everything you did with this van!!!😍 Great job!!!
Your enthusiasm is contagious. This would be perfect for me. Thank you.
I'm so glad!
This is exactly what I needed. I love that you thought about resale. This is the first build I have seen keeping the original fold down rear seat as a base for your bed; brilliant! I too am not looking to live in it, just long trips.
I was looking for a van. Now I'm looking for a conversion van, thank you for the information. You saved me a ton of time and money...
Love this guy! Such a simple build made me feel like I can do this! I like the modular/ removable /back to original- ness of it all!
Thank you very much
I couldn't find Isaac's channel. This is exactly what my husband and I are looking for! Thanks for interviewing Isaac! Now to find a van in Missouri!
He changed the channel to Where RV going
This is the best $$ saving video I've seen yet
I’m glad it was helpful Paul
Thank you this video. You have provided exactly what I need to know and try out for a few months before I invest $150,000 on a Class B motorhome. I really appreciate you for sharing your many innovative van build ideas and equipment.
Glad it was helpful!
fantastic low budget build. Going to copy many of his ideas in my own build this spring.
Go ahead and do it, really easy and a lot fun once you're on the road
Thanks, great information on different options to travel when you are on a limited budget, especially the last three DIY Van Conversions on your channel.

Thanks for sharing this excellent information
This is a great option. Easy build out for someone without carpenter skills and the systems they make now are easy to load into the van. I love it.
Right on
Im glad i was able to demonstrate that vanlife is possible for anyone
Isaac and Patrick - thank you so much for sharing this concept. I know what leisure vans are but had never considered one for weekends or vacations. Great ideas Isaac!
Thank Larry... hopefully you can have amazing fun with yours
Glad it was helpful!
I have a conversion van just like this and he has given me several good ideas. Thanks.
☺
Think it's perfect for weekends and travel for extended periods. Great job 👍. Very smart!! Enjoy your travels ☺️
Thank you very much

Thank you for your tour. I love what you have done. Simple but functional. I like how you put a cabinet in and backsplash idea.
Glad it was helpful!
What a beautiful job he did on this awesome van! I love all of the USB accessories. What a great find!
We agree!
I've been letting my fear get in the way for too long. This is so inspiring ❤️. I'm doing it!!!! Thank you for sharing this very doable non build, build lol.
Got for it
I love this! I’m interested in buying one for FT living and I love the fact that you point out so much is already base built in for you so you need less upgrading and work put into a cheaper simpler build thank you for sharing‼️👍
Awesome! Thank you!
😊 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 what a nice man .Good luck 🍀. Please don’t ever leave your doors open if your sleeping.
Thank you
It is a perfect weekender arrangement. I love to take photographs and to visit Parks or go to the desert or a mountain and take images can be just perfect.
Yes it really is
This guy did it right. The market for conversion vans is big enough you can find some good deals out there and any shop should be able to work on them.
Exactly, the market is saturated with beautiful conversion vans that come with all the basics already, easiest and cheapest way to get going :)
thank you, Isaac .. I have been watching youtube videos re: many types of vans and builds for several years now and I must say yours is, perhaps, the best, so I shall be checking it out more closely for my own use .. so, again, thank you so very much, Isaac, for what you offer and your excellent explanations ..

I looking for a conversation van for weekend trips too. This is exactly what I want to do.
Samantha you should totally do it
You can do it!
I really like this, it's something that I could actually do myself!
Very nice - he makes a nice conversion by an amateur look possible. Yup, once again, watching an NJOA video is motivating - thanks!
I do wish there were a list of the brands/names/models of the items he "just got from" somewhere. After all, knowing specifics avoids the "close but not quite" syndrome.
Anna, you are absolutely AMAZING!!! We so enjoyed watching all that you did on this build, your finances, etc. Superb job - you are something else girl!!! Look forward to seeing more of what you do.
Wow what a passionate guy for his build loved it 🙏❤️🇳🇿
Wait to you see his next camper, video is on the channel
Fantastic video...especially because I just bought the same van and I'm working on outfitting it! Great, simple ideas. Thanks for all the info.
You're welcome...and thanks for liking
Glad it was helpful!
You did a great job! I love the fact that the van can be returned to its original condition if you want to sell it to upgrade, etc. You gave me a ton of great ideas, I am busy looking for a conversion van at the moment. This is a wonderful weekend rig which is exactly what I want.
This is awesone--thank you! Do you have a list of the items on board, such as your power bank and the fans? I couldn't catch it all...
For the person with van intentions, but not sure of how long things will go, this is great. Patrick, this is one of your best interviews.
Thank you very much Jesse
This is one of my favorite conversions I’ve seen!
Thank you very much
Very nice. Its inspiration for me because I am a beginner who wants to do a simple build.
You can do it!
Love this! Makes me feel that our dream could be a reality!!
Please chase your dreams, it is possible and its not expensive

Wow, you really put a lot of thought and work into your conversion. I’ve been looking at the gmc savanna 2500 to make for a place to sleep. All I really want is the tv/blue ray hook up. That’s all I really need. I plan on working and being out more than being in the van. Screw paying half of my paycheck going towards rent.
Go for it
That is a beautiful cozy very practical camper van! I really love it and it's done smartly and simply. What a great job, I've always wanted something like that . Thank you for sharing I really enjoy your videos Patrick
Thank you Cassie
Great set up. I've just bought a Dodge Conversion Van 1500. I have learned a lot from this video. Thanks Isaac!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great idea! I really am not looking into building, this might be a quick solution to test while I finish deciding what my final "home" will be. Thanks for sharing.
I luv conversion vans. My mom had one and when I was in my 20's and we had the best road trips and vacations in it/with it. Great tour and Happy Trails to you Isaac!
That is awesome!
Conversion Van never thought about it! What a great idea. Thank you 🙏 both

This is a great way to test out if you want to do this full time. Thanks for sharing
Agreed
All practical useful ideas for a no build setup. Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
My kind of “build!” Great video. Thanks, Patrick!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for this I have owned my conversation van for 10 years and wanted to keep the integrity of it as well but convert it. You have shown me the light! I have struggled with the vent fan everyone says you need, I will be purchasing the ones you recommend tomorrow! 😊 thanks again ps if only I were an inch shorter lol. I’m 5’9. The struggle is real!
Glad it was helpful!
5'9 is better than 5'10... :)
This is great for a newbie like me. Gives me hope that I could afford this and get to travel. I absolutely love his enthusiasm !
Great presentation. Thanks for sharing on RUclips. I have a 98 Ford E 150 with the Explorer interior. Took out the two middle seats. I just want to get accessories to live in it when I travel in this terrible pandemic. Stay safe.
Glad it helped!
i have a 97 ford conversion,
love it. been visualizing my build out. you brought it to life,. especially the fan ideas. and the floor your energy source simple and effecient
Go for it.
This guy is great, love his van.
Yes, agreed.
Thank you
Patrick, another great find! Getting outdoors shouldn't be expensive or too complicated and I think that Issac showed us how to do it. Another great find and solid video!
Thank you Dave :)
Good call!
Well it's been awhile since I watched this video and had asked some questions. I guess you don't read what people say for ask. I did figure out how and what to use as an awning for my van and how to attach it. I still have to go all the way across the top so that rain won't come in on the side that I want it used for. Anyway I'm enjoying my van alot. Blessings, teri
Thank you for sharing this very affordable van option!!!
Thank you Lisa
I used to have a conversion van that I loved, and always thought it would be great to live in if I became homeless for any reason. It looks great!
Such a simple build and i loved it.
So nice. I love it. But definitely i can't afford. I am from the Philippines. I just love watching camper van style. Godbless
You can do this
I've seen alot of conversions, but this video is the most helpful! Thank you for helping in my buying decisions!
Oo this thing is amazing its small and nice
Thank you
Thank you for checking in.
I just got a conversion van wish you had more of these self made van ready for camping, I am looking for ideas, especially low roof ones. This one is great. I also do not want to change things, it is to nice to rip it all out. I did the search and this was the only one that came up. Thank you
