    So far I have seen quite a number of builds of campers because for several reasons I seriously consider to start to live in a camper myself.
    This is the smallest van I have seen so far.
    What I like most is that you kept it as simple and practical as possible but with some cute details such as the mirror.
    I also like the colors. You kept it light. This makes it more spacious.
    Even though this is too small for me I still think this is extremely well done. Double thumbs up.

    Wonderful craftsmanship. The three standout moments for me were firstly, cutting out the panel for the windiw; secondly forging a channel in the roofrsck for the solar electrics; and thirdly, steaming and forming the curved frames. And if that wasnt enough...you took out a sewing machine to make tricky upholstery covers and window shields! You have a great pair of hands coupled with mathematical precision and a creative eye. Is the soundtrack yours also? If so...I can't deal 😅😅

    ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! And I love how well thought out you did everything! I am a disabled senior that travels for suicide awareness Since losing my son Jeff in 2016, in my wheelchair modified 2010 dodge grand caravan with my four Chihuahuas. I have a wire cubby in the Hatch area for storage. I also have a platform bed with some storage space underneath. I have kept the smaller section of the backseat as well as the two front seats for when my grandchildren travel with me. The rest of the floor space is taken up by my power chair. I am by no means a minimalist and definitely travel with too much stuff. And I still have more stuff for camping and emergency gear at home for the day I can score a larger rig. Unfortunately, due to the wheelchair modification, I cannot have a rear hitch for a tiny trailer or even a storage box on the back, and being in a wheelchair it is hard to access anything on the roof. But I do have 2 solar panels and a roof box up top for when other people travel with me. My dream vehicle is a short wheelchair Bus conversion with plenty of storage space! Safe Travels n Enjoy YOUR Journey! ❤

    Wood & Wild I enjoy quick timelapse videos - you see a job being completed. But, oh how satisfying it is to see you and your handiwork in real time. The loving care as you apply rust inhibitor to a hole drilled in the metal; to see the careful application of adhesive to ensure a perfect assembly of the solar cells to the roof. I have enjoyed it so much. I'm a little past all of that but to see the devotion to detail and the caring use of tools is a spectacular sight. Keep on keeping on, in such a diligent and marvellous manner. Well done.

    this build is perfect, one of the best i've seen online so far. well crafted, well designed, you really dont see people converting their vans into builds as good as this one. the only thing i'll add is that you'll probably want some space in between the solar panel and the roof the car, as the cells can get quite warm if they don't get enough ventilation on hotter days.
