Skipping the bs of showing you through the contents of the drawers.🤣 That said. There is a full tour on my channel… 🧐

@@twoowlsregenerativemedia159 it’s the normal ford transit, not the connect. I have the medium where base and medium roof.

@@alicequayle4625 lush indeed. 😜

Well done👍

@@MissAllyson707 We use a little portable stove. Propane camping stove

It doesn't open all the way because the fridge door bumps into the bulkhead wall. Bit of an oversight on my part... but ya live and ya learn! Thanks for the heads up though!

Thanks Zak! I appreciate the comment. You looking to build one yourself?

@@loicleray My wife and I have talked about it. It's sort of just a dream at this point. When she finishes school in a couple years, working from home/anywhere would be a possibility for her. We have both always had a bit of wander lust. With that said we'll see what happens 😀. For now I'm just checking out different van builds and listening to different people's experiences. Getting a sense for cost/which type of vehicle etc. I'm definitely having fun thinking about it all 👍.

​@@Zak_How Awesome! I hope you're able to make it happen. It's a nice life style for the right type of person. Difficult when it's cold and wet, but amazing when the sun pops out and nature is at your doorstep! Good luck with it! Feel free to reach out with any questions and I'll try my best to help out.

Thanks for watching! 😬

Hi Naga! 😉

I see you’ve left a comment on a few of my videos. Hello! 😉

U have lots of subscriber's but u have few videos u r not the real person I think so

Unfortunately I already tried and it doesn’t open fully. 🙃

There is an outdoor shower, connects to the hose port at the back of the van and sticks to the side of the van with magnets. There's a longer video on my channel that shows it in action. 😁

Smart

“Just a van” to some and an adventure machine to others 😉

Howdy howdy! It’s all in there. Those black tubs make it hard to spot. Hope you’re doing well Roberto!

So nice to hear from you! Keen to see it! I'll send you a message =)

Yeah those are pretty epic setups too! You see similar layouts in a lot of smaller vans like the hiaces. I was keen to have a fair bit of semi-permanent storage though. Lots of climbing and outdoor type gear I didn’t want to dance around. This is what fitted my needs. I do like the connected cushion idea though. Haven’t seen too many of those in DIY builds.

You’re looking at him. 🙃

I think it was worth it. Even with partial installation the difference in vibration noise was significant, especially when driving. Way more quiet riding when empty, more quiet when sleeping near busy roads. That said, depending on your choice of insulation you will notice it also dampens sound, but to a fat lesser degree. In my opinion it’s too expensive to fully line the interior of the van, 20% of the coverage gets 80% of the results.

This is a 2012 ford transit, mid wheel mid roof. I named it Migaloo though

​@@loiclerayand how tall are you?

@@TSG-td3jr I’m around 180cm

Cheers! 😉

😂 cheeky thing was seeking his 15s of fame

Hola y gracias, he visto el trabajo que hace tu hijo - es increíble. Saludos desde Australia 🇦🇺

Muchas Gracias! Que tal el micrófono?

Muchas graciasssssss

Thanks! It took forever to get there, but it is done!!!!

Thanks Stephane! 🥳✌️

Thanks Sam! After 3+ years I’m stoked that it’s finally done! ✅

I appreciate it man. It's been interesting seeing how people respond to the set up. Definitely some mistakes made, but that's bound to happen on the first attempt. Should have an extended tour our soon which addresses some of the comments/questions these vids have been getting. You looking to build one yourself?

I'm assuming you mean the overhead cabinets? Two options; (1) screwed directly into metal framing or "ribs" of the van with self tapping screw s, or (2) wood framing attached to van ribs and then cabinets attached to that.

Not if I can avoid it! We're lucky enough to have mild winters in many parts of Australia. The indoor kitchen is always there if need be! 🥶

Definitely not for everyone! 😂

I agree it kinda looks like it from the video, but I am using specialist 16mm plywood which has a melamine like coating on each face. This stuff doesn't disintegrate or soak up water like particle board does. Not cheap, but it's really worth it.

@@loicleray had to stop frame and blow up the image .. does look like laminated plywood. Good for you ! 👍

Bit hard to see with the quality of "Shorts". Full video will have it be way more clear. =) @@customsolutions7167

Working on a full video. I'll comment again when it's done! Thanks for the kind words Stuart.

Heya! The full video is on my channel. Made sure to include a clip of the bed movement for you. 😊

Heya! Thanks for the kind words! I'm working on a full van tour video and will be sure to add your questions to it! I definitely agree that there are compromises to having the bulk head installed... I wouldn't change it for my van use case, but it would 100% make the space feel larger.I have a two person bench seat for passengers so can't do the swivel seats... but swivel seat and no bulk head is a winning combo for sure! Very popular in Canada and USA, you see it way less in Australia.

Yeah yeah, one take voiceovers will do that... I won't quite the day job just yet

You'd be surprised at how much it got used! The bench is used a lot when the weather is bad (windy or wet). It's also pretty handy for when you need a place to work, prep food, but it's not a big enough job to warrant setting up the outdoor kitchen. No regrets on that front. Plenty of other lessons learned on the build though...

Only if you don't back up the kitchen properly... Yeas. it is a small van. Not for everyone.

door doesn't open with the bulkhead, poor planning... You'r right though, it would be ideal.

Replied to you comment in the full van tour vid 😊

At least that much storage! haha You got a van?

Please do! If you have questions post them here and I'll get back to you! I'm working on a full tour video that goes into a bit more detail. Hopefully that'll help too. =)
