Rob, it's really impressive how you have improved upon Eric's design, especially the folding legs on the mattress platform during bed-mode. Are you able to give a rough estimate of the cost and man-hours for this build?

Nice job.

What about the switch? Thank u ur list helped alot

Where did u get the 12volt water pump

Love It! It is clean and safe because it is bolted to the floor and vehicle. ❤ The built on sink and cabinets.

The very fact you have to apply for a permit is absolutely outrageous

alright, a pc fan for ventilation in tilted window - how are you gonna keep bugs out of the opening? where did you get an idea of folding bed in such a way of 5 pieces? poor recomendations without testing them before. lot's of it on youtube. it's like i chopped some food but didn't do the dish yet

Best camper Van seup I've ever seen.Thank you

Thank you for the video! Do you know anything about State parks?

Very good. How about your battery charge when you driving?

Very nice! Well done. 😊

Hi Rob, Once again excellent camper and it simply looks awesome, I just love how minimalist its no clutter. I have 2013 Sienna and if I go with 2 person bed probably full size so I'm guessing with your bed dimesions I should go with 46 inch frame?

The best minivan conversion with details and simplicity I have seen, I appreciate you creating helpfull videos. I have 2013 sienna I will see I can start conversion, I like the bed size not sure if 2 person can fit in.

Great minimalistic build. ♥

Park outside of park property , you can fly your drone over np dont own air space only restrict when parked n fly inside park.🎉

I am a competitive quilter --- I can definitely sew a straight line, but your sewing skills are just **WOW**! I will need some serious work to get to that level!

Thanks for the video. Here is my experience. I recently (July 2024) submitted applications for a filming permit at Mount Rushmore and Devils Tower. I was planning on filming for my UA-cam Channel. I did use your narrative with minor changes. I just received a response from Mount Rushmore. "Filming for UA-cam is NOT protected under the 1st amendment." I was not denied, but told I need to reapply with the application fee.

Back in the mid 90s i did basically the bug screens for Dodge cargo van. Not as nice as yours but they did do the job. You did a fantastic job on your build.

When the issue changes from the fact you need a permit or get a fine into you needing a permit, being told you don't need one and then getting a fine anyways.

I applied for a National Park VIDEO Permit, Here's What happened. :-) You do not film, you video. Besides no need to state the obvious. Film, filming, and filmmaking are the most misused words in the industry. 🙂 Digital Video and film require different skill sets. Having DIFFERENT historical and TECHNOLOGICAL timelines spanning 150 years. Have PRIDE and KNOWLEDGE of the gear we use including the words that describe what we do. Our tools are Digital Video, Non-linear, and CGI. We are moviemakers, not filmmakers and we do what film wishes it could. We are Videographers and/or cinematographers. 🙂 We video or are videoing, we do not film. That's the other RARE professionals who know how to use film and film cameras, like an ARRIFLEX 435 Panavision R-200 and Steenbeck flatbed film editors. Know the difference and have a better understanding of the craft. You will also stand out in an industry polluted with point-and-shoot "pros". Respect to you.✌♥

First off, im glad to see some clarifications on the subject, but secondly, i understand why or how this all started, and i think it's important it's addressed. The " influencers" out there have been playing hell with our parks, causing great damage to them. I feel this law was just an attempt to give the parks a tool to stop this behavior because, let's be honest here, too many can't behave on their own now. Even though i have no insider information, the responses to your requests to film seem to confirm my belief that the parks department dont have an intention to censor anyone but were just thrust into a desperate situation.

awesome build

I wanna do this to my 2001!

You sir are a MASTER INSTRUCTOR and deserve an 🏆award 🏆for your instructional abilities. 🏅 🤔 However, I DO have one question for you. When you say that you connected the wire to the "Female end of the extension cord..." How does one identify which wire that is ??? My "Electrician" housemate told me that the "Female end of the extension cord is the wall socket." I have learned MORE FROM YOU than I have in the last 3.75 years living with an unemployed (retired at 55) full time T.V. watching zombie "Union Electrician." 🙄

What a great idea for an alternative to a wood fire while camping. It can be cumbersome hauling firewood and having to store it inside the van while traveling. I also camp in my Odyssey minivan “Odessa” Wood pellets are much more space efficient and I also use them already for the portable toilet. So this is a win-win 😊

😯😲😳🧐 WTH !🙉 I SWEAR, I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BRAND NEW 2024 VEHICLE ! IT IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. GOOD ON YOU.👏🏻🏆 I LOVE THE DESIGN OF THESE OLDER MODELS.

Great to see how you used the design by Eric Enjoys Earth who also has a UA-cam channel. Safe journey

Excellent

You have a nice voice. You could read bedtime stories or meditations on another youtube channel.

Can you add a topper, just a raised roof so you can stand ?

Dryer lint makes a good fire starter and it's free. I bought a small wood chipper for the fallen branches on my property. More free pellets.

This is one of the few great informational videos I have seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing your experience on this, and doing the leg work for the rest of us who will also be going though this process. Loved the van build and tips there too. Drive safe, and thank you.

lets go rob, make some more!

I submitted the long form to Acadia NP and was told that I did not qualify as exercising a First Amendment right in my form filing. After same additional reading I have come to the conclusion that I made a mistake on the form, I included some detail for Location schedule and put down 2 for each day for "# of Cast and Crew" and under Talent I included Myself and my wife as I never knew if either of us would be in frame during a video or still image. It seems the rules classify "Talent" or "model" as "a person or object that serves as the subject for still photography for the purpose of promoting the sale or use of a product or service." Since neither of us are promoting any product but are just posing as part of the scenery I am pretty sue that neither of us are cast, models or talent (not sure of the crew part). I used the short form to file to Capitol Reef NP and was sent an email to get some additional information. They asked: "We received your film application in the mail. Thank you for your interest in filming in the park. Are you filming with the intent to generate revenue, including from UA-cam?" I answered: "My social media presence is not for generating revenue but to share my experiences with friends, family, and others with similar interests. Kind of like the showing of home movies and slides from the latest vacation that my father used to do but without having everyone showing up at my house to be “entertained (bored)” with the show. My presence on social media is far from the threshold for generating revenue for myself even if that were my goal or desire, which it is not." They responded: "After evaluating your request, we have determined that the activity you described is general public use and does not need a permit, and therefore no fees are required. Thank you for your responsiveness and patience. " I will include that additional explanation of my social media presence in future forms and not list any "Talent" or "Cast". I will also recently visited Death Valley NP and talked to a ranger at the visitor center and was told that I did not need a permit based on my explanation that expressed that my social media presence was not to generate revenue but to preserve memories and share them with family and friends.

Nice build

can you built me a wooden bed for 2003 honda odessey

Great advice. 👍

I like your build, especially the folding couch/bed. The only problem I saw with that was that it covered some of the available storage space, but I'm sure you'll work that out. Your van looks almost brand new. I love the window screens also. Great idea. If bugs start getting in under the outside edge, get some strip magnet and use that along that edge to seal it off. Bugs are stealthy!

Have you done any update since the case on appeal was overturned? The original requirement is now back in place. Have you applied lately with your process? I would be interested to know. There is a new bill that passed the House called the EXPLORE Act, which defines the parameters of low impact filming and allows it without a permit, but it is still working through Congress. I think it will eventually pass, but who knows.

Great Phil thanks for sharing. Enjoy the road.👍🚙🏞️

Very nice informative video. Thanks.

I was most curious about which 25 watt cooler/fridge you have. Got a link?

This looks amazingly similar to a build published 2 years before this one... Eric loves Earth: ua-cam.com/video/qJjL-NWeoVI/v-deo.htmlsi=wbxmlzgI8WqjN9n0

You did a great design job! Thank you for sharing!

You did a really nice job on this build. I love the creativity and the alternative to Reflectix.

I like your tips on van living. I have an idea to make a bedsheet frame. So you don't have to make your bed every night, because that kind of looks like it takes too long. So you make a few layer, hollow square, out of vinyl flooring, that has strips that outlines the perimeter of your bed. That's your bed sheet frame. You might have to have some joints in the middle, so you can fold it. You pre sew show some bed sheets, that hug that frame front and back. Basically like a big pillow case, and you put it over the frame. And maybe fold over top and on the back sheet you can put some velcro fasteners. When you wake up in the morning, you just fold it up into a few pieces, and store it somewhere. And reverse it and unfold it to make your bed at night. Maybe you could put snaps on the four corners, attached to bottom fitted sheet, to hold in place. To wash it, take it out of frame. A lot quicker than making the bed. Y'all feel free to steal my idea.

Hi Rob trying to replicate your water pump system but I can't find a pump that you use. 5 watt pumps seem to be submersible only. Can you suggest a pump that the battery pack can cope with. Please and thanks

Very nice. I would need a skylight though because its low roof. My idea is to turn the back into a little bathroom, with a clear shower curtain on rod dividing off the compartment, and then a little shower chair that you sit on to shower. Drain to bottom outside. Maybe you can make one and make sure you make a video so i can see it!

Hey Friend, I would love to know how you built the frame of the bed, I love the build and would like to have it in my minivan. please give me the measurements.

Thank you for this video. The minivan is really great🙂. Greetings from Germany.
