Speed running van tours!
Skipping the bs of showing you through the contents of the drawers.🤣 That said. There is a full tour on my channel… 🧐
Simply fantastic 😊
Is this a transit connect?
@@twoowlsregenerativemedia159 it’s the normal ford transit, not the connect. I have the medium where base and medium roof.
Lush.
Lush setup.
@@alicequayle4625 lush indeed. 😜
Very nice. The bed is great. Very quick to change. Also love the magnet shower. For me I'd tweak it with maybe a pullout mini chest fridge. But excellent and spacious.
Well done👍
How do you cook during bad weather??
@@MissAllyson707 We use a little portable stove. Propane camping stove
When you let the divine guide you, you lose the fear and start to live as we were all meant to, This universe instills so much fear Mongering that we forget to live our purpose.... people like this inspire me so much and makes me crave that beautiful existence even more.... earth angels truly 🙏💗
Yuh know yuh can change that fridge door from left opening to right aye😮
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!
This is really awesome 😎👍. Thanks for sharing.
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.
Where yer dunny ? :)
Only few of ur videos are u real person I don't think so
I have seen couple of videos and i have seen u reply to their comments also
Thanks for watching! 😬
Unbelievable u reply to all massage with their names
Hi Naga! 😉
Due u really reply to all the comments surprising
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
Come on, change the hinges on the frig to open the correct way. Please.
Unfortunately I already tried and it doesn’t open fully. 🙃
Where do you shower
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
That is not a minivan!! Ford transit is much more!! But nice build!
“Just a van” to some and an adventure machine to others 😉
Me alegro que te haya gustado lo que hace fernando nosotros celebrando la representación de la historia de los amantes de teruel
Loiiiic maaaate, it looks great! wheres all the highline gear?
Howdy howdy! It’s all in there. Those black tubs make it hard to spot. Hope you’re doing well Roberto!
Hey Loic. Hope you’re well and happy. So glad to see that you have finished your van. Love it. You did a great job. I’ve have sold my big van and have just finished building another van in a new 4motion Transporter. A different beast, but love the new van. Laters. Bruce.
So nice to hear from you! Keen to see it! I'll send you a message =)
Take it easy on the adderall mate 😂😂🎉
To save space, a chaise mattress(connected cushions that fold out on the floor into a narrow "mattress" at night, and during the day fold into a "couch chair") seems more appropriate here. It would provide space for a camper's toilet that u can place within a shower curtain cylinder to take sit-down showers in, on top of a floor water tray of course, unless that combo is available for purchase already.
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.
Where's the dishwasher?
You’re looking at him. 🙃
Thoughts on the sound deadening panels? Worth it or regular insulation would do the same?
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.
Wow amazing!!!if you're interest about these things, look at my camper, the smallest in the world czcams.com/video/xWPr_HdCJwc/video.htmlsi=z0tgOBEgBpThuxPj
What the name this van ?
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
Love it! Nice work x
Cheers! 😉

Buen trabajo , disfrutar de allá todo lo. Que podáis,el micro en el móvil muy bien pero en la cámara no ,solo para auriculares ❤,entra en muebles Agustín Gómez camperizaciones, te gustara
Hola y gracias, he visto el trabajo que hace tu hijo - es increíble. Saludos desde Australia 🇦🇺
Conozco ese trabajo y veo que el que nos muestra es estupendo ❤
Muchas Gracias! Que tal el micrófono?
Buen trabajo!!
Muchas graciasssssss
Very smart build 👏
Thanks! It took forever to get there, but it is done!!!!
Nice rig
Thanks Stephane! 🥳✌️
Well done and congrats! Hard work paid off, looks mint!
Thanks Sam! After 3+ years I’m stoked that it’s finally done! ✅
Great design, man! Wild to see such nit-picky negativity in the comments. Credit goes to the man in the arena, nevermind the critics.
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?
why are you barefoot ewwwwwwwww
What did you use for the cabinets to stay up
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.
Outdoor kitchen I guess you’re not gonna go anywhere cold are you? 😮😅
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! 🥶
I would have heart attack just being up on the mountain near the end of the cable....😢. 😂😂.
Definitely not for everyone! 😂
Cheap particle boards for cabinets.. just NO. 😢
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
Great video, thanks! I would like to see more detail of how the part of the bed that slides out is supported. Thanks again.
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. 😊
I've watched a lot of van builds and this is my favorite. I love how space-efficient, comfortable and easy to change your bed/couch is. The only thing I might do differently is open up the cabin and then use a two person swivel seat. I'd love to see more videos on this build, and hear more about the pro's and con's of living in it.
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.
"A electrician"
Yeah yeah, one take voiceovers will do that... I won't quite the day job just yet
2 kitchens in a van that already has minimal room??? Like Why? How Much Eating And Food Prep Do You Actually Do?
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...
What is this, a van for ants?
Only if you don't back up the kitchen properly... Yeas. it is a small van. Not for everyone.
Flip fridge door to other side? ..easier access
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 😊
Wow that's THREE TONES of Storage😮
At least that much storage! haha You got a van?
This is one of the best set ups I’ve seen for a small van. I have a pro master city. I would like to use some of these ideas.
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. =)
My kids would love that height.
