Amazing work Erik! You're the best! Love the use of space and creativity on this design.
32k for that? lolz
Great Job Erik. Love the extra bench for guests to sit and hang out. Excellent design
Vehicles from the 90’s being called “vintage” just seems wrong 😂
Self leveling ?
No, it is not
I see someone else asked this and there was no response. What is the EMF reading from the inverter and battery compartment with the lids shut? I was surprised to see that you didn’t take those readings because the whole point of the video was to show how to reduce EMFs and you didn’t show how much of a reduction there was by closing the cabinets with the stainless steel to see that it really does actually block the EMFs.
Sorry i did not get those readings, It was significantly less. The van is out on adventures witht the owners and I no longer have access to it. To summarize what i have learned on EMF reduction. Have the AC inverter on a switch and only turn on the AC inverter when you need to use it. Use 12v DC for everything you can for a power source. It is very time consuming and expensive to shield everything AC related.
Thank you. I wish more builders would do this.
Do you have the EMF consultant's info?
Do the batteries create EMF too? Or is it just the inverter, really?
Just the Inverter. The DC batteries and system i put in has no EMF but unfortunatly the vans do when they are running. I may do a follow up video on that,
Did. you remove the original curtain airbags?
Yes, the owners did that before we built it out
@@ErikLokkenNRVC probably different laws, it is pretty much illegal across Canada :( so I have to build around them
Hi good evening where can buy your van use the calling wood bar ? l like it more wide
Hi good evening Erik where. Can I buy ceiling wood like yours ?
Hi good evening Erik where. Can I buy ceiling wood like yours ?
Are there plans for power wheelchair access?
This is great. Hubby & I been looking into Ram Promaster 2500 for VanLife with our Adult Trikes.
I have family in the Greater Detroit area, so I do not want that many windows 😅.
I like it but where the Air Conditioner !? 😀
What length and height of Ford Transit-350?
You can google it. It looks like the high roof extended edition.
you are quickly becoming one of my favorite builders!!!
nice build!!!!!
Excellent design do you have Vans in New Zealand?
Real nice conversion....how much this going to cost in 2016 Promaster 250 hi top.
Can you say why you didn't check the EMFs when the lid was closed?
Ruined it. Terrible verses the original.
My opinion is this is not much of a "build". Kind of like why bother?
How much? Where can I buy it?
You spend way too much time explaining the same item/took that I had to speed up the video significantly
this is my ideal van build.. only thing id do differently is a roof rack
Great use of space space love everything you have done 👍🎉🎉
You can do that if your short,that don't impress me, I'm 6 ' 6"
Very nice. The adjustable counters is a great idea. You have enough room to do an autopsy inside the van! How long is the bed? The shower takes up so much space. It would be interesting to see if people who have the shower find it really useful. I would love to see a pull out toilet and more storage in place of the shower. Take a sponge bath daily when needed and go to a gym.
We custom build each van. We can for sure build it without a shower and put in extra storage, and a pull out toilet! Thanks Erik
Great use of space on this one. Love the back table and tall skinny fridge.
Storage of blankets and clothing? Where do you put it?
Check out some of our other videos. I am really partial to the fixed bed layout with a garage underneath. Good point, there is a lack of storage in the Dinette layout. I make that clear when we do van layouts with customers. But we custom build each van per customer specifications. Thanks Erik
What is the capacity of the toilet? How many 💩s before you need to dump the storage tank?
I would refer you to the Laveo web site on that. dry-flush.com/faq/
Any buddy who starts with- "the Build" I shut off and Tune out. Sick and tired of that stupid term-- Maybe we can have a "conversation " about that.
I am always happy to have a conversation with any buddy of mine.
I love this build. Perfect for me and my two pups 😊 You really made great use of space
Thank you! 😊
Did i miss it? what is the interior head height?
I think it is around 5' 8"
Great work as always Erik!
Thanks Michael! I hope your enjoying yours.
Water heater mounted next to the electrical components are concerning. Maybe it’s just my years dealing with water damage.
It could be considered a built in fire extinguisher. 🙂
Too bad the driver and passenger seat upgrade wasn’t talked about.
Cant believe I havent seen this one until now. This is a home on wheels. Love it
This is quite amazing how you can do this!!
Looks amazing!!
To each their own, I guess. I have the exact same Class B, all stock from the factory, love it just like it is. Have only added a few things.
What the size of the bed
I am in the midst of planning out a Sprinter 144" and was always wondering how much length we can get in an East/West layout without flares. You mentioned 6 feet, but then you said 60". What is the max width from wall to wall? I am only 5'9" so i am hoping to be able to do the same. I see that you bumped it out as far as you could. I am wondering how you were able to insulate the van walls at the internal bump outs? Since you are from Minnesota and this van was built as a ski van, i would assume that you found a solution to this. Thx.
Yes, The bed was 60" x 72" We used 1/4" foam for insulation in that section. Best of luck! Erik
Love how custom the vans can actually be made. :)
Not liking the bed base arrangement and why put inverter under the bed??
How much? I found a 2023 3500 Promaster with less than 5K miles for $44k! Cargo, no windows! Thinking of retirement options!
You can see pricing in the FAQ section on our website. Thanks www.narrowroadvanconversions.com/faqs
I’m buying a 26’ rock wood trailer and wondering how much I can modify it to be shielding…
