$600 Tiny Camper in a Ford Transit Connect | Van Tour Enhanced Audio

- In this video, I tour a budget-friendly Transit Connect built for part-time travel. Gale built this piece by piece in her home, bringing pieces out to fit, and back and forth until built. And instead of a house battery, she uses the van’s battery to power everything on 12 volt. While I don’t think that’s sustainable for full-time use, it works great for her part-time travel.

Yes! This is inspirational!
She did an AmaZinG job building her van out! Thanks for sharing ☮
Very nice
Love it! It is especially cool that she did it herself. One of the things that I particularly noticed as someone with vision challenges I REALLY appreciate how she put lights in all the cabinets and even under the bed! 🩵
Yes - lighting really helps. And if wiring the lights is overwhelming, check out the lights in this video: czcams.com/video/SrqyWBEyPnY/video.html
Of course, you can watch the whole video, but the link starts at the USB lights.
The flip up counter she made by putting boards together is just gorgeous she did a great job of everything
Thanks for this video! The build is so original and creative. Ingenious overall and very well done.
great build out Gail. Love your kitchen set up. I too have the same year van and love traveling in it. Going to attempt to finally finish the door on my above cab storage. Love yours as well.
Cascadia 4x4 does a hood top solar system that charges the vehicle battery. I bet that would make her setup sustainable. This reminds me of Japanese N-Box (Honda) builds, and I LOVE it!
Oh my gosh, such a great job. My Connect is super basic, I do not have the skills or tools to do a build like this but I sure would love to. I really do need to add windows for ventilation. Maybe I will get brave enough to try that but something about cutting a whole in the side of my van just scares me.😃
I like that Gail put lights in her lower storage, not everyone thinks of that.
Very nice build, efficient and aesthetically pleasing. I need more info on getting all of the power from the starter battery. I just don't understand how one doesn't end up with a dead battery!
Great job!
Nice
