- Our AMAZING self build camper conversion mainly built from inside our apartment! Everything you need for a very comfortable normal or off grid camping experience.
I've been watching a lot of these camper conversion video's, and I have to say yours is the most impressive out of all of them. You really do have everything you need, including actual space to sit down 'inside' in the back, complete with a table. I love how you installed an aux battery to power everything, going so far as to connect it to your car battery for charging while in use, 'and' have the capacity to charge off solar. Everything seems very well thought out. You even have presurized running water. Thanks for this video, certainly gives me idea's for my own SUV.
Thank you for your comment. Can't wait to see what you will do. Let us know wen your finish. Happy building.
You really packed a lot in there. Fantastic use of space. Craftsmanship looks great. Thanks for sharing. Peace from the US.
Thanks..peace from germany.
Truly amazing- you have thought of everything. This is very impressive!
Thank you so much Erika!!! Glad you like it.
Just think what you could do with a high top van. I don't know what you do for a living, but you may want to apply at Tesla. Great ideas.
Hahaha thanks Jon..It was all done spontaneously in our spare room at home!
Why would anyone with their own skills go to work for someone else, just to have their ideas stolen??
What an amazing kitchen you made!! Unbelievable!! So far the coolest ive seen in a mini van or SUV at this point.
All of those little storage places you came up with. Very impressive!
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the comment.
Hey everyone...A very heartfelt Thank you to all our subscribers once again.. We have reached the 100 mark and are very pleased...A huge thank you as well for all the amazing comments we have received so far, we are quite overwhelmed and excited about all the responses.. Please share with us your travel experiences and safe and happy travels!!!! We will have another upload very soon! Much Love Hugo and Donna
Your kitchen and hygiene station are ingenious! Well done. It's obvious much thought went into your build. I'm anxious to watch you videos where you are out at camp and using this incredible build.
Thanks. We are at the moment making use of the car for work purpose and we will share soon with you all all the build in action.
WOW! AMAZING! Thanks for sharing all these great ideas.
Thank you and thanks for the support!
Awesome, awesome, awesome but for me, I could never sleep in that tight of a space,but I'm very impressed by how convenient you have made a tiny SUV into a great camper.
All those pieces that pivot up and/or out (storage racks/shelves and sink) just blew my whole entire mind...and I'm only 6 minutes in. SUCH a cool build!
Thanks Bob.
Loved it! Wish I had enough money to hire you to work on my minivan camper! Right now I have a “no build” set-up. Built-ins would be nice and make better use of space.
Wow. No words for how impressed I am.
Thanks Lou.
Wow, lots of cool intentional design elements. I love how you used the built-in safety feature of the butane stove to also create a safety buffer when storing the unit. So impressed with your "no space wasted" cabin segments. Even the pull-out drawer in the undercabinet sink area makes use of space that would ordinarily be wasted. Genius!!!
Thank you so much!
I will simply say you are a genius craftsman and designer! Happy trails.
Thanks
This is ingenious! You’ve thought of everything. As a solo woman I would feel safe traveling in my home on wheels. I hope I can some day.
Amazing, fabulous,.......don't know what to say more.....far beyond expectation......will definately consider this video while building my own
Haven't seen a swing out build like this. Awesome design and build.
Damn dude! I love watching these videos and I have to say that your build is one of the very best I've seen! It is brilliant! I've never seen such a well-designed, well-built kitchen unit. Not an inch wasted. It is like the most clever puzzle box, with the lift-up, swing-out shelves, the swing-out sink area and the removable bit of counter for the sink area. I sat here with my jaw hanging down as you pulled, lifted, swung and opened it like a lotus unfolding! It is genius! I also love the shelf being blocked from folding away if the stove fuel isn't in the proper position.
I love your little bathroom section. I, however, would get a small fold up bowl, basin or bucket to temporarily attach under the faucet, to cut down on mud and splashing and wasted water. You could dump it, fold it up and tuck it away.
Your plumbing and electrical are beautifully laid out. You and your partner obviously put a great deal of thought into the design and execution of your plan. It is very professional. The interior is very clever, the seat and table look like a comfortable fit. I like all of the storage. The bed area looks a little close to the roof, but sleepable. Your toilet reminds me of my emergency toilet: a bucket, a bag and an adult diaper. Works like a charm.😉 The safety features you have installed are impressive! I love that your first aid supplies are so obvious. My nephew and his family have a first aid kit in a big, yellow backpack. I think they may even have splint materials in there, for broken bones, you know. He used to be a lifeguard and was in the Coastguard, so his first aid skills are pretty good. That and he and his kids are pretty daring, so it's not unusual for one of them to be injured on vacation. 😄😉But I do appreciate all of your safety measures, I think that a lot of van people should be more aware of their safety.
I do have a few suggestions. I don't know where you live, but here in the upper Midwest of the US, I would have rain guards on all of the windows that open so you can have some ventilation. I would also invest in USB fans, I have one and its amazingly useful when the power goes out. I would also consider installing a Maxair fan. I have heard nothing but good remarks about them. And then I would make screens to go over the windows and doors. Put magnets on them to hold them in place. Screen isn't hard to work with, I made a screen curtain for my garage door and it worked a treat! Again, upper midwest, where mosquitoes rule. And Ontario, Canada, has battalions of flies.
You might consider getting a moon shade awning. They are quite versatile and look to be well-made. That would be excellent for your outdoor kitchen in the rain, and it folds up into a fairly medium package. It looks easy to handle too. It would probably fit in your rooftop storage box. All that's left is a carbon monoxide detector and a smoke detector.
New Jersey Outdoor Adventure on CZcams has a van build by a retired electrician. I am in awe of his electrical and the whole build. He, too, is genius! Just like you guys. I love your van and I think you guys did an incredible build!
Insanely built! Excellent job!
Oh. My. Goodness. Truly innovative. You have it all! Great job. Thank you. So glad you made a video. Enjoy your time out there.
Consider placing the fire extinguisher facing back and down as low as possible because if you are in a big collision you don't want it flying like a projectile towards the occupants of the vehicle.
Really smart setup, nice explanation!
I like how you use the rear seats to stay inside in case you need.
Wow. How the hell did those shelves disappear like magic!?
I love it!!!!! I have not seen anything as awesome as this!!!!!😊 Great use of space!!!
I know you said you use just sone basic stuff from the hardware store for those lift up and turning cabinets, yet they are the most elusive to copy.
You should make a short video just about those.
I am trying to come up with a kitchen design that can be used from the inside and outside. And like you I want to place it in the rear.
The challenge is that cabinets are much more easily accessible from the outside. I was thinking of making a draw for outside access but also to lift it up for indoor access. This is my current solution.
This draw holds one piece of bulky kitchen equipment, like a InstaPot. The draw would be placed close to the right rear wall. That same side would have a solid sheet of plywood, the other 3 sides would remain open and the corners are steel pipes that connect the top and bottom plates. From the outside a simple hinged door would give access to the draw in its lowered position. From the inside when lifted up access is from 2 useful sides (last one being to the outside again.). As a lifting rod and attachment I want to use a Desk Monitor Stand. I would need to turn the draw only slightly to secure it in its upright position. Or lift it slightly above the counter and slide a 1x2 underneath it to secure it. Either way, I don’t see a way to lift it out without the lifting arm needing to protrude past the countertop.
Last challenge is to remove the top plate from the draw to give full access to the equipment without needing to remove said equipment. The question is how to hinge it and how to secure it.
Anyway, enough about my ideas. Your build has been planned and executed with a lot of attention to detail. It’s quite extraordinary. Fantastic job.
You gotta admit this guy wins the best award I have ever seen a redone van talk about the bomb
His english is so easy to understand! BR 🇧🇷
Wow. Very creative. One of the best SUV converted to caper van
The best set up by far that I have seen! Amazing how compact and function able everything is! Great job! Amazing ingenuity! Makes me wish I still had my forerunner! 😁
Awsome build! I am planning a vehicle to work in on the road and you have given me several ideas. Thanks so much
Really versatile camper build. Thanks for sharing.
That is a very nicely designed camping conversion. Very nice workmanship.
Wow.....that is one COMPLICATED Tailgating setup! I've never seen anything like it. Do you have any kind of awning to set up over it for rain 🌧 or shade ☀️?WOW.....I just saw your teeth-brushing setup....with its own spicket!...awesome 😊👌. If you don't want to spit on the ground, a small funnel set into a bottle set into the cabinet which you can empty when you need to takes care of that.
Very clever setup 👌 Happy Travels.
Hi Leila..thanks. We are planning to install an awning very soon. Thanks for the funnel idea!
What a fantastic kitchen set up
Wow, great job maximizing the space ! Well done
The best on the world!!!!! Genius. DIY??? Amzing!!!!!
You are very clever...& must be very proud of everything you have invented. Love it. Thank you
❤❤❤❤❤
Very good job 🙂 like your set up
This is just genius!
This is just a WOW-WOW-WOW
I love it a lot, very clever.
I'm too planning to convert my own Terracan and I'm very happy to discover such good ideas. I'll wathch your others videos.
Would you be ok to share your plans ?
Thanks for the tour.
this is an impressive build, you must really enjoy cooking to sacrifice so much space and weight just for the kitchen! I'm planning a build soon, while I don't think I can dedicate that much space for a kitchen, I am non the less impressed by what you have done! congratulations!
Great build and the swing out storage can double as a wind screen. Will have to incorporate your designs in my future build, been watching a lot of builds and yours is the one of the best! Thanks for sharing.
Amazingly smart use of space😀👍
Awesome build, I think I’d just leave the headroom and headrest, and sleep in the car seat, though- claustrophobic, it seems!
Wow! Clever design and completely unique!
Thanks
Well done!
Thanks!
Very creative design
Useful and unique!
Thank you susan!
I am wondering why the auto industry does not hire people like you to design their vehicles. Fabulous job - I do not like factory anything anymore after seeing all the creativity of someone like you. Beautiful job.
I just subscribed. From Philippines
Thank you and welcome then. :-)
A very practical set up. Impressive. Best layout I have ever seen. I viewed it a dozen times to get the minutest details. Could you please tell me the type and thickness of sheets for different cabinets. Best regards
Nice
Very creative and well executed. Very nice job.
Amazing 👏👌
Thanks Lenny
Cool build. Don't rely on the butane stove safety features. Mine has failed multiple times. The can doesn't fully eject. A small flame remains and drains the can or worse. Always manually disengage the fuel cannister.
Amazing construction and design thanks
Great compact design. You should patent it.
I like kitchen setup 👍
thanks Nandini:-)
@@travelwithsong1929 Where did you get your stove and fridge? What make / model are they?
Excellent
Thank you so much Bradley!
Amazing very nice setup 👍
Amazing! Do you have videos of the actual building as it happened?
Splendid!!
Great job mate!!
Very well thought out!!!
Very well thought out.
I wonder if a roof top tent would sit well on the terracan though.
Wait, Terracans have a wheel base of 105 inches? This guy is a magician.
Very nice 👌
Very nice
That set up is amazing I hope to have a set up like that one day for my content 🤙🎥 I subscribed 💯
Really nice set up, but as for the sink, I think it would just be easier to do away with the faucet and pump and just hand fill the sink and pull out the basin and dump water after using....much simpler and less
to go wrong...also cheaper.
Awesome, genius.
Fabulous design!
Thanks
Really cool and creative! But how do you use the kitchen when it's raining?
Some very impressive design and execution in this. But it must weight a ton! What modifications did you have to make to the vehicle to be able to haul this amazing unit? I'm guessing shocks/struts, springs all upgraded to hvy duty units? How huge is the effect of this unit's weight on your gas mileage? What about the handling, I can only assume one has to take corners more slowly as the center of gravity is now higher, especially on one side where the unit meets the ceiling. Which brings up my last question, did you factor in weight distribution left-to-right? Honestly just curious, it's an amazing build, but maybe too much? Every feature adds weight and this build is so very feature rich. Curious to hear these things. Not enough conversion videos delve into these potentially very important things. I'd love to see a video that talks about the additional weight, changes to the car's handling and performance, etc... it would be very helpful for those considering doing their own conversion.
I slapped the 'Like Button' hard and from behind, to thank you for this video! 😉
Very nice except for the bed set up for me. Was wondering if the Emergency toilet fits in the area were the battery is.?
Hi there confusious..Thank you so much for your comment! the emergency toilet is unfortunately to high to fit in the battery area.
K
best idea
Really cool. Weight would be an issue for me also there would be less storage for other necessities.
Thanks for the comment, weight is not an issue if you remove all that you don't need and if you use light material for your conversion. but obviously we all have different needs and Ideas. And that is why customizing is the best that you can do....
Fantastic
thanks fran.
where is this Country located at ? You have done a fantastic project, well Built.
thank you HL. we are based in germany
Definitely get a workout going from one mode to another....it's like the inspector gadget mobile in real life..or a transformer
Great setup 👍
Thanks 👍

Home self made! You are inspiring my dream! Please share your webpage! If you have one please let me know! I am planing to have my dream come true, thank to you,
This is amazing!
Amazing love it
Awesome
awesome
Hey Everyone. Just a very kind THANK YOU to all our subscribers so far. Much appreciated! HAPPY TRAVELS.
brilliant!!!
So much good use of space!
What are the lift and swivel hinges called that you used on the cupboards and where can I buy them?
Hey Chitza..To lift we used 2 normal 40cm heavy duty sliders that we attached to normal cupboard hinges using pop rivets.. we got everything at our local hardware store..Glad you liked it!
Your creativity and ingenuity is inspiring!! If possible, would you share photos and links for the items you used. I need all the help I can get for my build :) Thanks!!! Happy Travels. Sue
just amazing!!
Great video work . The sleeping area wouldn't work for Older adults as it's too small except for thinner more flexible folks . Enjoyed it anyway
thanks a lot..It was our first real attempt and we learn as we go along! thanks for watching though.
@@travelwithsong1929 did you have to alter the front seat to make it go all the way down or is it like that from factory? This is an amazing idea to use all the space inside a vehicle. I'd like to do this in a Ford Expedition EL or Chevrolet Suburban.
Love it! soo amazing
thanks gigi
Just dont get the two juices confused.
Amazing is right! I think that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Isn’t it a bit heavy for the SUV though?
Thank you for your comment. And no, if you remove what you don't need like the back seat and plastics and use light materials you have basically the same weight. the entire conversion has approximately 50kg without fridge water tank full and all compartments empty.
Can you that kitchen section for a mini van and make it so it stays outside with a cover over it?
Ein echt geiler Ausbau
LOVE this
Please ser ...show us lore details of construction.
Brilliant!
Thank you
