    I have been watching van builds for years (currently building my own) and no one does a better job of building a van or designing a layout than this channel.
    Always a thumbs up 👍

    I like this Van over all the other vans that I've seen just because it's simple the simplicity of it is what I like!

      Exactly. Every component is solid, practical, and durable. It's very comfortable and will stand the test of time well, by the look of it.

    Great build. Good solid craftsmanship that is comfortable, practical and looks great. It's not over designed or over complicated, just user friendly, reliable, and caters to every need, without the fuss. My perfect van. Thank you.

    This van has all a nomad could wish for. It's also very beautiful with the matching wood grain continuing on the lift ups. I was pleasantly surprised to see reversed struts over the stove for reachable items while cooking. The freezer on bottom of refrigerator is nice too. This is a dream mobile home van; however, I am sure these beautiful elements are all very costly. It is possible that we could incorporate a few ideas in our DIY builds.

    This is a great build. I like the idea of using engine heat to heat water. Great idea to just run the engine a bit before a shower rather than installing complex propane or electric.

    We have a 2021 Coachmen Beyond 22C which is similar to this transit. I love your overhead compartment over the rear doors for longer items! That and the kitchen counter extensions would make our van (that we LOVE) even more efficient. Great looking van you got there!

  • @kelleywimberley5581

    Nice build! I see the shower as a huge space that's largely wasted since it's only used a small % of the time. It would be easy to put a closet rod across the top and also another rod holder that drops down an inch from the van ceiling. Then when you want to use the shower or toilet you just grab the rod inside the shower and move your hanging closet to the hall, or behind the passenger seat, wherever you decide to install the secondary set of rod holder brackets. Then when done, you just move the rod back to the shower. It takes 10 seconds. And that way the shower space is serving double duty as a large hanging locker.

    Currently in the market for a transit.
    I was considering getting a passenger. Too many windows for my liking.
    Was thinking of adding a second row, shower, fridge, and full size bed. May have to sacrifice the shower.

    Outstanding! We're just finishing our 350 High-Roof Extended conversion. Been working on it for 14 months. Wish I had seen this video before we started. We would have done things differently. One thing we still need is an entry step for the sliding door. Yours looks perfect. Would you please tell us who makes it and where you bought it. And did you have to have a custom mounting bracket made? Thanks.

    Great Build. This is the first transit conversion I've seen with a passenger van other than the one my husband and I are converting. Does it have mosquito screens for those back popout windows. We live in Ontario and have so many mosquitos, for the life of me I can't figure out how to make window screens which incorporate the opening mechanism on the window. Any ideas?

    • @ErikLokkenNRVC
