I took out the seats in my minivan and gave them away......I totally took everything out of my camper van, and I am starting over. This is Part 1 of the new no build BUILD.
Good for you! It is tough for me to make the commitment to get seats out and to not keep them. It would provide so much more space AND save on all that extra weight!!! I bet the fuel mileage will increase substantially! Thanks for the video ❤
@@vanladymarylou I have been getting 21-25 mpg lately depending on speed limits (almost always 70/75 mph I get 21 mpg) If I take the seats out do you think it will make that much difference? Thanks so much!!! Hope to see you out here sometime 😊
@@Kimberly-ul1ph honestly, I am not sure. I just know that on the road, I get about 3 miles per gallon more. in town, my mileage is under 20 and there was no change
I'm in a 2015 Chrysler van. I took the seats out, too. I've been living in it full time for over a year. I bolted a 200 watt solar panel directly into the roof. Considering a shower tube on the roof and a basin in the rear seat well.
What happened to part two of new van build? I saw the photos at the end of this video, so wonder if that's all there is. I had same van (had to sell) and will have again, so I'm looking at new ideas.
WOW!! This is what I have been wanting to do as well; so glad I found your channel.
Getting rid of the seats would be a tough decision for me. I'm sure it would hurt the resale value, however the space you gain is very impressive.
May be true but I plan to keep the van for a very long time.
Good for you!

Fuel mileage on the road is now about 27 miles per gallon.

I am scared to drill holes in my roof.
Can the panels that cover the stowing go seats support any weight sense you removed the seats that go under those panels
Nice. You are doing it right
Get a swivel passenger seat and you'll be right as rain
where is the follow up? van tour required!!
How is your build looking, I need all the advice I can get. Thanks.

I have just posted again bc I am now changing van again. I keep changing it....
Brand new.
how tall is the inside, in the back? From the floor to the roof? Thank you!
With seats out, about 48 inches. It slants down on top in back bc of the window.
Getting rid of seats in minivan for new
I'm going to remove the passengers seat as well, I don't have a dog.
