Love your video! I'm a Grandma from Canada, long past the age of building my dream van and seeing the world. I am however, enjoying living vicariously through your adventure! Going to follow along and see where it takes you. I've been married a very long time and it's so nice to see a young couple working together and building a life.

Awesome! It's starting to get chilly up here, especially at night, and the leaves have started to turn. You'll be needing your heater and some warm fall clothing!
This is embarrassing for me, I spent 12 months converting my house into a van. I've made a right mess of it. Hopefully this video will help me get my house back
Fantastic conversion. I wish I had the time and ability to do something similar. The VW Crafter would be my vehicle of choice too. They're really good vans. Enjoy it guys, it's richly deserved.
It definitely took a lot longer than we had anticipated. Really appreciate the kind words, Chris! I hope the opportunity presents its self in the near future for you! Take care!
I’m impressed with your build…I no longer have the patience to do this myself and would have to spent so much $$$ in allowing someone else to do the work. Good job!!
I love this! You two did an awesome job! I’m wondering how you gained the knowledge to do this…so many details to consider and it looks like or better than a professional did the work!
Thank you for your kind words robin! We did a lot of research on RUclips just to figure out a layout and then a bunch more RUclips/blogs on how to do the various tasks and of course even more noodle scratching to figure out who it all would work for us haha. It took us about a year to complete.
Such an incredible job. I'm currently doing this with my 88-year-old stepdad and it's a struggle. Your build is inspiring. Any tips on how you measured for the shower drain hole behind the driver's seat? That's my current predicament - a lot going on underneath
@@NomadicVisuals Hey, thanks for the reply. I just happen to be making a butcher block desk for my apartment and this is exactly the color I was looking for!
Hey thanks! It handles surprisingly well. The acceleration is definitely not what it was when it was empty but it’s also not terrible. We definitely don’t drive it like a race car by any means though. Since it’s front whee drive and we added a good deal of weight to the back it doesn’t like going up steep gravel hills lol.
Hey Brenda, we used 3M high strength adhesive spray to adhere the insulation. It worked really well and made it super easy. Check out our insulation video below: Van Build Insulation - Havelock Wool (Van Life Tiny Home Build) ruclips.net/video/7DWmXYnOaSc/видео.html
Thanks so much, Ron! They're yellow pine with minwax walnut stain. We did an entire video on the ceiling install if you're interested ruclips.net/video/iLAtgO8Iqrk/видео.html
My wife and I would like to do something like this, could you possibly share your cost analysis breakdown? I would like to budget for something similar by the end of next year. Would like to start buying everything to have something similar as a vacation vehicle. congratulations. You all did an amazing job!!!! :)
Thank you so much!! We spent $25K USD on the build and the van cost us $40K. Here is our video on the cost breakdown of the build. ruclips.net/video/kKFmpKueNk0/видео.html
Hey! The fabric is called duramax. We did a video on exactly how to do the trim and there is a link for the fabric in the description. The video is called “Van build trim how to” and is linked below. Van build | Trim | How To ruclips.net/video/foQid7dHj9g/видео.html
I can't believe how well you insulated everything except none on the floors... I suppose it was a compromise for standing height but ultimately a lot of energy loss
Really appreciate the kind words. We watched a bit of RUclips, but what really made it all click was playing with a 9v battery, a few wires, an led puck light, and a switch. Just trying different combinations to try to achieve the results we wanted. Electrical is really a lot less daunting than it may seem. It’s really just variations of a positive and negative wire that control everything.
It’s just 1/4” plywood we painted black. Check out our ceiling video for more info Best Camper Van DIY Ceiling! | Van Build ruclips.net/video/iLAtgO8Iqrk/видео.html
Lol Bens dad owns a bucket truck otherwise we would have been forced to put them up individually or would have come up with a crafty solution to lift it in one unit. We lucked out on this one
Thanks! We are going to take it to get weighed in the coming weeks. We will be sure to let you know. We’ve been living in it since October 1st 2021 and it doesn’t “feel heavy” when driving it.
Pretty sure we cut it down to 77'' we cut it about an inch too long though, so we could stuff it into place and we wouldnt have to worry about it moving around going down the road.
Just under $25,000 usd for the build. If you want a more in-depth breakout, we have a video called “How much does a DIY van conversion actuall cost”. Link is below. ruclips.net/video/kKFmpKueNk0/видео.html
Good job. You should be proud. I'm curious about your insulation decision. It appears you installed sound dampening sheets, then rock wool insulation. On all of the videos I've watched, they do the exact same thing. My question is why don't you do spray foam insulation? It would be so much quicker, so much easier, and would do a better job of insulating. I'm talking closed cell. I don't think it would do as well as the sound dampening sheets, but you have so many gaps, it's not helping much anyway. Don't take that as a negative. Everyone has the gaps. Nature of the vans. Thanks
We didn’t use spray foam bc we weren’t entirely sure of how our electrical was going to be ran at the time. Also we’ve read horror stories about how it expands in the small ceiling and wall ribs and bends the exterior metal outward. I’m sure we missed some spots but out van is usually about 15 degrees f warmer or cooler in the preferred direction as in comparison to the outdoor temps. ✌️
@@NomadicVisuals I appreciate your reply. I hadn't thought about it getting into crevasse and expanding. Obviously my experience is on houses where that isn't an issue.
Hey Brian! We don't have a mirror in our bathroom...perhaps you were talking about our shelf? if so...its not centered bc of how the toilet is positioned. its centered on the shower section, so we can use it for extra elbow room when washing. Hopefully this answered your question. Take care!
How long is that van? Personally, 16 feet is my absolute minimum, would prefer 18 feet really. Would also prefer a Cutaway van too. Since Cutaway vans seldom go longer than 16 feet, I'm always bouncing between that, a step van or even a 5-ton. Stealth being my prime motivator. Yeah, solar panels would always be a give-away, but a utility truck can always pass a quick glance than any RV.
the built our area (not including the cab) is 14ft long x 6ft wide. its the promaster 159'' extended wheel base. they do have the stick on flexible solar panels that lay flat against the roof to have more of a stealth look. they just weren't the best option for us.
@@NomadicVisuals Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, there's always the question of whether the cab is included in the length. 14 feet and you still managed a shower. I'm impressed. I would be living alone and I wouldn't go that small. Currently living in an old 22' trailer so I have a gist of what I want, and how to increase the efficiency of space over the "one size fits all" mentality of RV manufacturers. I sure don't need a Queen sized bed for instance. Nor do I need two sinks. Countertop space, shelves, cabinetry, a bed on a slide-out that can slide into the lower cabinets whether it's made or not. And a bigger medical/washroom cabinet. An oven wherein I don't have to double over like a pretzel to light the pilot light. Did you use any kind of software for the planning phase?
We are looking at doing a very similar design but are going back and forth over having the seating area next to bed. It seems that you give up a lot of potential storage space by going with the seats. Any regrets or suggestions?
We like it. We didn’t want to have to hop through a little hole to get in or out of bed. Some people have showers or closests on either side blocking the bed access. It also feels a lot more open this way too. I’ve even seen a good deal of sinks next to a bed which if it were mine, our bed would always be wet bc Im reckless with the sink faucet. We have storage in one bench and a “mechanical closet” in the other.
For the build and van it was about $68K USD. We have a video that breaks down the cost of the build. Link is below. ruclips.net/video/kKFmpKueNk0/видео.html
haha too much research! probably over 100 hours of RUclips. We made tons of mistakes too which consumed a lot of time as well. Really appreciated the kind words!
@@NomadicVisuals when I start to build One I am going to do 200 hours of research lol and I will go over all the possible outcomes in my head to make it work in 1 shot last time I did that with my mining rig it worked
Hey Reinaldo! we are right at $65k USDfor the van and the build. The build came in right under $25k USD (just for the material we did all of the labor) I have no doubt it could be done cheaper, but we made a lot of mistakes haha. We did a video called: What it actually costs to build a van. we break down all of the costs into individual categories.
Honestly it's the first video I've watched,that they placed all their electrical system(wires)strait up on that cotton protector,aren't they afraid of a fire?
Its wool rather than cotton which is fire resistant. Even if there were a short in a wire we have everything fused properly, so it would blow a fuse rather than cause a fire.
Hey! We don’t have an AC, we don’t need a generator as we have solar power and the option to plug in and no microwave. We have a fridge though. The cost of the van was $40K USD and the build was $25K USD. We have a cost breakdown video here ruclips.net/video/kKFmpKueNk0/видео.html
Hey!!! It is a queen size bed that we had to cut down to 74 3/8”. Ben is 6’ and he fits although we wouldn’t complain if their was more room 😂. One way to save an inch or so would be not to put shiplap in recessed area and just use like 1/4” plywood or something similar.
Price of the van was $42,000 USD and the cost of the conversion was $25,000 USD. We did a video on the conversion cost and broke it down into different categories. Here is a link: ruclips.net/video/kKFmpKueNk0/видео.html
Ngl this motivated me to clean my room. Figured it's the least I could do.
