Thanks for the shoutout! (I recently changed my channel name XD). It's so cool to see people using my bed design, and I love the mods you made to it. The backrest cushions and actuators in the back are excellent touches. Safe travels!
Yeah man, it's a great idea! The community thanks you!
How's the cabin coming? You change your mind about power tools yet?
@@VantasticPacifica slow and steady! We have 40 logs cut and debarked. Haha never! Hand tools all the way 💪
He should put his trade mark on it
Hey man, I watched your videos.
I'd love to do the same to my honda fit car.
I couldn't find your construction videos about the bed :(?
Love the “two of you” drinking the monster! Too cute! ........just watched the end......three of you......hilarious!! Great minivan design too!
Yeah, I don't like to share my Monster, not even with myself.
Ya this was really good !
"I mean, you could probably fit maybe three bodies." Lol!! And the awesome finale!
Clever build, clever video. Thanks so much for them!
I really appreciate that. Despite appearances, I don't really know what I'm doing. That one minute clone scene took three days to get right! Lol! But I hope I'm getting better.
I am impressed!!! From the editing and video quality to the entertainment and comedic content, just superb my brother!!! Oh and the van is just dope, from top to bottom!!! Loved it all!!!
Oh wow. Thanks bro! I put everything I had into this one. But I'm still learning and I expect it will get even better soon!
Brilliant! The only van tour I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen hundreds) where the comedic relief was actually funny! Besides I’m loving this out of the box concept.
Awesome! I'm glad you liked it.😁
@@VantasticPacificaLol I think it was the accidental comedy she was eluding to...... "Nothing but Hard wood down there" at least that's where everyone pushed repeat...lol
@@PandaLife-lp8kn Oh my.
That intro was dope as hell!!!
Haha old man! Got stuck in the front seat! 🤣
Love your stunt double stealing your Monster!! Then a third you popped up out of nowhere!!! Great editing and acting!!!!
Great video!!!!
Aw man, thank you! This one took two weeks to make!
I meant diaper bag, not just a diaper !
kudos for giving the bed maker such credit. Good karma there. great video man! Speak easy and freely.!
Well, I'll take all the good karma I can get!
I'm purchasing a Pacifica and you cave me some great Ideas. I'd be happy if mine turned out 1/2 as good as yours! Great Video.
Thank you and congrats on the Pacifica! I'm thinking of selling my Wathier bed. Let me know if you're interested.
You are crushing it with those special effects!
Thank you so much! It took 3 days to make a 2 minute clip.
The monster sipping part was so funny. Thanks for making great videos like this Curtis!
Glad you enjoyed it!🤣
What a hoot!!! I really enjoyed this video....looking to buy a minivan and use it for camping trips so have been addicted to watching everything! so imagine my delight to watch you with your great sense of humour. Love it from a 70 year old lady!
Awe, thank you! You're awesome! Good luck with your van!
I am going to adapt your build into my Astro van that I just purchased. Limited room in my van so your system will work great . Thank you for showing us.
Right on! If you make a video, send me the link! I'd love to see what you come up with!
You give a new meaning to van life!!!
I hope that's a good thing.😁
Very sleek and clean...nice job!
Thanks for saying so!😀
Nice job man, especially the split-screen with you and your evil twin. :D
The bastard is always stealing my Monster!
I’ve watched soooo many UA-cam videos on van campers that my eyes are glazed over. Most are so boring but I sit through them hoping for a little tidbit. Yours was absolutely enjoyable. Well done! And I think I need that little sink. The TV part probably not but you made me laugh “two people can sleep comfortably if they really like each other”. 😂 I really liked that it wasn’t a permanent build. Now I just have to look for three bodies to put in the back. LOL
Lol! I'm glad you enjoyed watching it. I enjoyed making it! And by the way, if you invest in a good hacksaw, you can probably fit even more bodies back there!😁
I compliment you on your informative & well produced video. I just bought a 2019 Toyota Sienna and hope to do a similar build. Concerning the problem with the magnet holding the drawer too tight, a simple fix is to put a self stick felt pad between the magnet & the contact plate. It makes it easier to pull them apart. Thanks for the tips and humorous comments. You’re a natural!
Awesome, thank you!
I love the fact you give detail information, your humor is refreshing. Thank you .
You are so welcome! Enjoy this emoji. 😁
I loved you editing of this video, interesting and funny, you certainly have some great ideas here
Thank you so much! I had fun making it. I'll have to do a new build just so I can make another video. Lol.
This is what I want. It's perfect and super stealthy. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Glad you like it!😀
Impressive! You've done such a great job utilizing all the available space. Looks great!
Thanks, Allison! I worked pretty hard on it. But I'm sure I'll be ready to do another one in a few months!
First off, editing was *chef's kiss*. Second, my jaw dropped when you converted to bed mode. That is genius! Thirdly, "how many bodies" should be a standard measurement of volume. Great build!
Well, I would say if we're talking about minivan campers, then a storage capacity of one body would be typical. Unless you use Canadian bodies. They have the metric system so it would be more like 1.609 bodies.
@@VantasticPacifica 🤣 you're not wrong.
Third time is a charm! I really like this set up.💯👍 You pimped out the ride Dude!😁
Thanks, Mo! Lot of work went into it.
SHARING your monster drink and allowing me to kinda step into your video honorable. I think your humor is what makes the world go round . Mike from Oklahoma
I agree. A sense of humor and dogs make the world go round!😁
That is perfect. Love your sense of humor
Thanks!
What a bad assss mini van. Super impressed!
Thank you very much! It wasn't easy.
Btw... The little girl in the oven startled me! I was like, WHAT THE???
@@VantasticPacifica Pros and cons to mini's and the high tops w/ bells & whistles. Yours is the best mini I've seen though & I wanted vanlife beforeee it was trending. & kids will be kids! 🤣 Best wishes!
That outro was hilarious 😂 It reminded me of Mr. Bean!! Thanks for sharing, enjoyed!! 😆😆😊😊
That's probably not a coincidence. I watched a lot of Mr. Bean when I was a kid.
I thought exactly the same thing! very nicely done.
I just got a 2020 Pacifica, and I'm so grateful for this video, thank you!
My Pleasure!😁
Sir I want to tell you that I think you did a fantastic job narrating this video very entertaining
Oh wow thank you! So nice of you!😊
That last bit was Awesome!!!
I'm glad you like it. You would not believe how long that took!
I enjoyed the humor and the build, i've been thinking about getting a minivan for something like this.
Thank you!😁
I might do something like that but divided in two. That way it can be a single bed and chair, two chairs or a full bed.
That would be a lot of work but it sounds amazing! Link me the vid if you ever make that happen.
I was thinking the same thing. Just the pull down part would be split. Such a neat idea to begin with and so much easier for setup than a lot of the other convertible options out there. Now that I am thinking about it even more, I would like to make a fold down in both the front and the back so you could have a bench seat looking out the tailgate, and I would make both the front and the back split so one or two people could sit or sleep without disturbing the other. (aaaaand...just blew my mind that the factory installed seat behind the driver's seat still works with this setup so you could have a third traveler!!!) So excited about this!!! One last idea...what if there was a way to make the backrest part swiveling and lockable to use the backrest as a table or a backrest? Thanks for all the idea inspiration!
- Alis
Excellent design!! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy!
Thanks a bunch!
Great ideas, funny how we keep thinking of ways to improve layouts. Keep up the good work.
I know! It never ends!
Nice job, great style . Simple yet all one needs . Thanks foe sharing
Thanks for watching!😁
Im so impressed! Ive been looking for a van mainly because im 6’1. But it seems like more minivans are on the market, and honestly your minivan build is amazing, and you didnt even take your seats out? Thats impressive how roomy you make it seem because of how resourceful you are. (I will be taking the seats out because i plan on going full time). I am inspired by this video thank you so much! Subscribed.
If I were going full time, the seats would be the first to go! But there's plenty of room if you plan things out. Good luck with your build and shoot some vids! Thanks for the Sub!
I really enjoyed this video and companion videos. Very. Well done.
Thank you very much! And thanks for watching!😁
Great van tour! I like your build. The end was too funny! 😂
Glad you liked it!
I'm feeling the set up in the van. Great job!👍👍
Thank you so much! Don't forget to Subscribe. I'm trying to get to 10k and I need all the help I can get!😁
You did a wonderful job right there, and your acting skills 👍.
Greetings from the French side of Canada.
Thank you so much, Felix😀
That is a sweet van.. simplicity is a great idea
Yeah, I try to avoid a lot of clutter. Keep it clean and simple.
Also an owner of a 2019 Pacifica sport (which I absolutely love)...love what you've done with yours!
Also share your love of anime... (Tanya's my favorite character)
Haha! I was wondering if anyone was going recognize the show.
And sword art😉
I own a 2013 Chrysler Town & Country Limited and slowly converting it into a Minivan Amputee Apartment. I enjoy watching your videos. The ending is genius. I look forward to Version 4.
Ok, you got me... What does a "Minivan Amputee Apartment" look like? Post a video or send pics, please (vantasticpacifica@gmail.com). As far as version 4, I suppose that could happen some day. I'm thinking I might get a splinter soon. Damn auto correct. That was supposed to say "Sprinter".
Such a great personality!! Love this guy!! The one nomad I would love to meet and have a bite to eat with. He’s down to earth and funny unlike many of the snooty drunk nomads who make videos with a dang zoo with them or one that is soo large it should be in a zoo.. meow Safe travels to you!! Best wishes from FL!
Do I look like a cat to you? Am I jump'n around all mimbly bimbly from tree to tree??? You stop laughing right meow!
Great build out. That bed design rocks. Love the humour of your dual self too!
Lol! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
You should do a video on your favorite ways to keep warm inside the van at night?
The problem is I’m one of those people who never get cold, so I don’t have any clever ideas for keeping warm. But you’re in luck! I happen to know a wonderful youtuber named Travel Snacks. She is overflowing with clever and inexpensive ideas on the matter. Here's a great video for you to check out…
ua-cam.com/video/wdwBNeT6wFY/v-deo.html
Tell her I said hi!
I don't think I've taken so many screenshots in a build during a single video. Really liked how the TV and desk were set up. I was laughing pretty hard at that bit at the end.
Oh man, that's awesome! I'm so glad to hear someone found something I did, useful.😁
Wonderful! Very professional! Laughed my head off!
Haha! Glad you liked it! Has Dad seen it yet?
I lost 5lbs laughing at this video, didn't expect you to be so funny and informative to boot!!
Aw, thank you so much!😁
Love the funny editing! I'm not sure about the outlets directly beneath the sink. Too easy to splash or spill H2O. Sparky sparky. The wood base for outlets is great. Keep on!
Oooo, you make a good point! I'll figure something out. Thanks!
Well at least he has an extinguisher!
@@VantasticPacifica maybe a plastic or silicone cover to slide over or shield liquids.
@@tdginter Not a bad idea.
You did a great showing of your van, I'm glad you didn't show your toothbrush, dust pan, TP... You were spot on! Happy travels.
Haha! Yes, I have that same complaint when I watch these! I don't need your whole inventory!😁
"Three bodies"....🤣🤣🤣👍
Not that I would know, of course.
I get to see van build and comedy in the end. Subscribed!
Thank you and welcome aboard!😁
Good job and it's a nice progression. Any thoughts on removing the center console so you can go from the front to the back without getting outside?
I would love to remove the center console. I'd actually rather build my own. But removing that thing looks like a bit of a hassle. However, I don't have to go outside to access the back. I just step over the console. That's why I leave that little hall way open.
I had just watched your first van tour , and now this , realized you aren’t making vids these days, I really appreciate all the tips , I’m just starting my mini van camper. Thanks and Take care . Also love your humor :)
Thank you! I'm very much looking forward to more roadtrips but I gotta pay some bills first.😎
OMG. Dual screen setup. And the Wathier bed is, indeed, a game-changer. I love how your setup has evolved. Great video work too! Keep them coming.
Thanks so much!
Woah...just found your video because I'm looking at minivan conversions. Love what you did with the Pacifica - classy and functional. Your presentation was not only entertaining but also offered the information I needed. Thanks!
Well, this comment is getting a heart!😀
Sweet!! I like your idea about painting the bed frame, comments on mattress thickness, and Love Mommy sewing your cushions.
Yeah, I know my way around power drills and circular saws but when it comes to sewing machines, I still need my mommy.😊
I love your dry sense of humor and facial expressions.
Haha! Thank you!
Great simple and innovation with the blinds.
Well thank you! I think the idea is simple but making them was a major headache. Although, it would have a lot easier if I didn't mind drilling a few holes in the car. 😁
You're videos are hilarious and awesome. Thanks!
Thank you so much! 😁 Don't forget to subscibe!
Such a great van! And thanks for a fun video. Love the ending, so funny!😂
Oh wow, you stayed till the end! I'm so glad you liked it and thank's for the comment!😁
Awesome build dude. You made the most of your space for sure!
Thanks!😁
Very Cool build and you are hysterical!
Thank you kindly!
I loved the way you edited. And end is super interesting. Design is cool definitely 👍
Thank you so much 😁
Like the bench foldout. It took me by surprise. Your #2 & #3 are great designs. One for single and one for a couple.
Thank you. I'm glad you like them. I don't actually have a favorite. I'm never really satisfied with any of them. There's always something I don't like. But then I get a new idea and get excited all over again. There will probably be a version 5 someday. Lol.
In luv with your van 😍 - good one. Thank you for sharing. Blessings.
Yeah, I'm rather fond of it too! Lol!
Just bought a 2017 Pacifica to convert to camper. I like your ideas… love the sink idea. Lol! 😂🤣😂
Well, thank you for watching and congrats on your new van!
Hah! Your deadpan humor... Room for three bodies. 😂 And the other little humorous bits you toss in there... 😄 Great vid. Thanks for the tour!
Oh, thank you! I had fun making this video.
Very cool camper van and hilarious video, great job!
Thanks so much!😁
LOL to the last scene. Well done! ..and nice build-out!
Thank you so much!😁
Love your dry sense of humor. Good job on the build.
Thanks, Phillip!
Awesome and funny video. I always thought these vans would be really good for using as a camper van. I travel to kids sports with mine a lot and I go inside and chill between games and get away from the madness. I have all my windows tinted on my 2018 Touring L so people can't see inside and it makes it more comfortable. Awesome job on the build!
Thanks!😁 I'm familiar with your channel and I've seen what you did to your Pacifica and I must say well done, sir!
Incredible build! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Kevin! Glad you like it!
This is the nicest Pacifica conversion I've seen. Thanks for the smart ideas and the silliness!
Yeah me too! Lol!😁
Your van looks so nice from the outside. If I have to buy a van, it's only Toyota Sienna or the Pacifica van. I love the way the look , your van being black must be hard to keep clean and shiny. Your set is simple, something I don't mind. Bed is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the comments! I agree it's a very nice looking car. That and stow&go seats is why I chose the Pacifica. The Kia Carnival is dope too!
I rarely comment but yours is worthy of taking the time to offer kudos. Nicely done. You have an easy going, authentic way about yourself that makes the viewer want to watch. Plus you actually offer tangible information without having to plow through any nonsense. And the humor is great. A perfect balance. I was very happy to subscribe. Thanks so much!
Oh, wow! Thank you for the kind words! It's very encouraging.
Your video was not only very interesting and I'm going to use some of the ideas, but you were very entertaining and made me laugh. I don't think I've seen another van build with such a wonderful speaker. Thank you!
Yay, thank you!😃
cool video, I enjoyed the two different flavors of the same style bed. Like how you saved the drawer from your last frame.. You have a technical way of doing. Mine came out very simple but it was best thing I've done since starting this adventure.
Thanks for watching😀. You should make a tour video of your setup.
@@VantasticPacifica yea for sure. I'll have to get it cleaned up and put out there. 16'f this morning here its chilly out lol.
@rebelartstudio3730 You in Michigan? 13 degrees in Indiana. Stay warm out there!
Love your humor. Very clever at the end.🙂 Thank you.
Oh thank you!
Thank you for showing your conversion. I really enjoyed watching it and your sense of humor! I got an used Town & Country this year that I hope to convert.
Congrats on the van! Good luck with your conversion!😁
This was the most entertaining van build video I've ever seen 😹 I would love to see how you made the blinds on the side windows.
Thank you so much for that! It's very encouraging😀. I did make a separate video on the blinds. It's not a "how to". But it at least gives you a closer look on how they were made. Hope it helps... ua-cam.com/video/dOX3RtJd5us/v-deo.htmlsi=M31UPml_gDbUp373
I like how you moved your kitchen (sink & Dometic fridge) inside so you can use it without having to stand outside in inclement weather. Also, your personality & hilarious sense of humor remind me of about half of the engineers I used to work with, miss those guys/gals.
I think you have to have a weird brain to be an artist, comedian or engineer. 😁
Love the simplicity. Also like the smooth comedic moments
Haha! Glad you enjoyed it!
Conversion is amazing - creative and functional camper - yet removable for daily driving. You are entertaining, educational, and an inspiration. Thank you for sharing..
Wow! Thank you for the kind words!
First off, your humor hits me right, and I found myself laughing over and over... nice work. start to finish... not only that, this is the first video I watched about a hybrid minivan that I thought hit me the closest and the hardest. You pretty much showed and told me what I want my life to look like. Meaning, everything in your van was in my image, but I needed an over groan hybrid that when camping keeps the air conditioner running 24/7 if needed. Man you nailed it, loved it, thanks.
You are quite welcome! Full disclosure: My Pacifica is not the hybrid version but since I didn't take the seats out, you can still do everything I did with the hybrid.
You’re so funny! I love your dual purpose sink.
Thanks a bunch!😁
Completely enjoyed this tour! Not only is this an outstanding build, but your editing and humor are spot on. So many great ideas! Thanks for the link to the bed design genius as well! Cheers and safe travels!
Thank you so much!😁
This whole minivan is just bad ass all you need is a portable Lou bucket and wet naps and boom that’s a washroom
Yeah, one could do that. But I'm never far from a truck stop. So far so good!
Bro, your videos have given me a few good ideas for my planned van-conversion. Keep the good work up.
Salaam to you and to all.
Awesome! I appreciate that. Peace to you as well.
So glad I found this video, great job on the build, so refreshing to find a minivan done nicely and not all on the cheap. Too funny as well. Thanks for the tips
Yeah, not cheap but not professional either. I think that might be my niche. 😁
Nice job..like the sink ..tv setup.happy trails
Glad you like it!
Just found you and I love your camper van! The ending of the video was entertaining, you are one funny guy!😁 I look forward to watching more of your videos🤗
Awesome! Thank you!😁
Bro!!!! Now I see your set up you were talking about(SRT L3X) earlier this week, your a mastermind on the coziness lol keep it up dude !
Hey Alex! Thanks for watching!
Say, is your Traverse white?
@@VantasticPacifica no mine is the midnight blue edition package color. It’s the LT. (at work tryna respond lol)
@@Alex-dw6qx Ok, no worries. I thought I saw you on Torrence. nm Lol.😁
Thanks for the ideas.
You are very entertaining.
Glad you like it! Don't forget to subscribe!
Your dry humor is fun😆 good video!
Thank you! 😁
here from the Wathier video. I like your build features too! great job! :)
Welcome! Thank you!
Love this Van. Love All u did. Except where u put the extension cord. Lol!! U gonna use that fire extinguisher if u dont change it from there. But i love everything of it. One thing is… i wonder why aren’t more people using this van to vancamp?? All that room and no need to take the seats out at all is truly a game changer. U bed!!! Woa!!!! Love it!!! Great job!! I truly love it all. Those blind!! Oo!! Super inventive!! Definitely love your funny moments!! It love this video!!
Lol! Thank you so much!😁 You are not the first to mention the extension cord. I have made an adjustment. I mention it in a video I did about the sink. Check it out if you like...ua-cam.com/video/GBIdhZRoi_s/v-deo.html
I am interested in doing a van build and have watched countless videos. I love the simplicity of your build and especially the “wathier?” Bed idea. Thank you for putting out this video. The only one I have saved to date.
Awesome, thank you! Good luck on your build. Take lots of pictures during the process! And avoid going all out on the first try. Just go with the least expensive bare minimum and add only what you need over time. This way you don't waste your resources on stuff that turns out you will never need. When you do get it done, do a dress rehearsal. Spend the night in your driveway. You don't want to be a thousand miles from home when you realize you forgot to bring your favorite pillow.
I love the style of your video. Very different than everybody else is out there, well done!
Really? Thank you! 😊
