Great video Dave and thanks for sharing my van! I look forward to when we can hang out more. You can tell I was really excited to talk about my minivan conversion! ✌️
Really nice build Jay! Love the cabinets...and I'm with you, so many builds fill the entire back with the bed. I like your approach and am planning something similar. I'm shorter, so I'm gonna put the bed in the back and I will sleep at an angle... so it will only take of 40 in. or so of floor space. And then the rest will be open, sort of. I like your pull out table with 7 gal water below. The only thing I would like to know more about is how do you cook? Do you do that all outside under the awning? I am thinking of taking the passenger seat out too. Mine's a Caravan with stow n go seats, so taking out the back seat opens up lots of storage space below floor level. One question, how big is the white propane tank behind the driver's seat pls? Gracias! Gonna checkout your site and sms. :)
I loved! I live in Sacramento, CA and this video was very encouraging to me! I'm thinking about leaving my apartment and living on the road too! Thanks for sharing your life with us!
This video by far is the best explained with common sense and great questions…”What would you have done differently…?” And yes, mature peeps have really, really good advice. Thanks for the video!!!! 🍄
It’s wonderful. I do find as I get older being able to stand up in a van is desirable. If you get stuck inside for 2 days due to bad weather it’d be nice to be able to stand up to prepare food etc.
I just discovered, in case you don't know, you can actually put a high top on a minivan! I'm 67 and a female with a pretty bad back so standing up would be so incredible!
WOW, I really like he used the vents as lights! That is the first for me to see anyone do that. using the seatbelt holes with lights instead and hacking into the wiring for widows and so forth. Awesome stuff. I would totally buy this van.
I'm 6' 9" and drive a 2015 Caravan and want to start going on road trips. I don't want to build, but I do want to camp out of it. Thanks for the video.
I love seeing all the different ways people build/no-build their cars into campers. I have no desire to do this full time, but would love to do something like this for roadtrips! The interesting thing about decluttering/downsizing is that each round makes it easier to remove more, even sentimental items. You realize which items are truly valuable to you and reach a level you are happy and comfortable with.
Clever mini van build, nice details and the bed looks comfortable. I like the light hacks where the seat belt used to be - that is very nice! Nice gas mileage on this rig. Toyota Sienna gets 36 mpg, astonishing fuel efficiency. While Honda's are a class act, Toyota is a bigger company with cheaper price tags and great variety. The Sienna gas mileage is the same as my tiny Toyota Yaris stick shift. You can't beat Japanese cars for quality and gas efficiency. Some feedback: 1. Please do not add music to any van tour. It is loud and annoying. Just pan without the music, much better. 2. Try to show details while the man is talking. Don't fixate camera on him the whole time. 95% van, 5% man ratio is best. 3. Don't talk. Let the guest talk. Don't interrupt, ask questions, and give your opinions. If you are behind the camera, you are never heard. This is the best way to let the guest really delve into his build, philosophy and topics without a break in his chain of thoughts. Later you edit out the parts that are rambling and tighten it up. You will find this makes for a smooth video. 4. You did not show us much about the build. Open the back door, roll out the awning and mini screen room, tell us about the roof rack, show us the bed build, so many details left out. All this could have been done while he was talking, however, you fixed the camera on the MAN not the VAN. It should always be the other way around. Show the VAN not the MAN. We don't need to see him on screen so much (although he is very good looking) but to hear his mind and thoughts, while we look at the van build details. If you can achieve this happy mix, your videos will rise in quality. Don't overlook details. They are key. We are all van builders here. We want to know how he built this out. Please keep the focus on the van.
I’ve watched tons of build videos and this one showed me what I needed to see. I don’t want a fixed bed. I was considering that kind of bed. Now I have his opinion and can make my decision. I love all of the space available. Thank you both!!
You have one of the nicer rollerhomes I've seen on UA-cam. I'm researching now and down the road I want to make a move and do some traveling. Thank you for the video ✌🏽️
If you sew an extra seam at the top you have a good ruffle that will block out all the light! I used attention rod but this time I am going to go a different route.
I really like it, and considering a mini van for full time. He’s done a nice job. I especially like the awning. I would be doing a lot of in town stealth camping, and this would be too conspicuous, but really like what he’s done.
This is the only conversion I’ve seen that offers an empty space. I always wonder how they manage to work out or do yoga on bad weather days. I don’t see any other van where it’s possible to do it inside. I need space. I could live in this! Nice job
I had 1 of these Honda vans,very reliable,I easily put 100,000 miles on it in the 6 yrs I owned it,during that time the only major repair that needed 2b done is replacing a faulty radiator....however,the weak area of these vans are the transmissions,apparently Honda had a lot of issues with these transmissions enough that they did a recall on it,the 1 I owned had a transmission issue all 6 yrs that I owned it,it never affected the overall reliability of the van,I just learned to pull over put the van from drive into park&back into drive&then it ran fine,I wouldn't hesitate to buy another 1...very,very reliable,the v6 has plenty of power&really good milage,my van never left me stranded in the 6 yrs I owned it&again,I put 100,000 miles on it on top of the 130,000 that was on it by the previous owner who bought it new,you made a good choice getting 1 of these for your adventures.
Good morning Dave 2.0 nice video I like the seatbelt light very original this guy is well set up I noticed there was some snow on the solar no no snow LOL sure don’t miss it simple mind simple life van life it’s awesome love every minute of it take good care 👍💜🇺🇸
I have looked at hundreds, hundreds of videos. I am so in love with this one! I have a Honda Odyssey 2003 and I am converting it but the things that I love about it the most which is his storage on either side and his electrical system, there's just no way for this 68-year-old lady to do this! Thank you so much for this video! You can see by my thumbnail that I had a really cool camper van that I lived in for about two and a half years Man I regret selling him 💜
Oops I cut myself off before I was done! I'm so impressed with all the work that you have put in to your camper van and home! I have to do mine a bit at a time as I am 67 and your social security is not exactly an exciting income. But, when I had tank my camper van I lived very comfortably and I also have a UA-cam channel. I'm so happy that I found your video and I'm going to share it with some people who are pretty skeptical 😂 I lived in my camper van for about two and a half years and before that I lived in my car for about six months, so the step up was wonderful! It's not like I haven't done it before 🙂 💜
Super SMART, well-spoken, fun, good attitude, and incredibly cool van!! So glad you shared your story and van with us. I love the diesel set up in the back. Me, too. It’s addictive to have an indoor/outdoor digital thermometer 😂 KT 💙
It’s so amazing seeing this ! Very tempting to start up my own alternated lifestyle also save a lot of money as well . Love the setting look so inviting and we’ll groom, neat , cozy , comfy enjoyable humble living !!! Congratulation 💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽💜🥰🥰🥰🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Oh man! You are only the second person that I've seen out of 100 Van builds, that uses the same bed that I want. It's so important for me to have some floor space and not be overcrowded! I have a 2003 Honda Odyssey that I want to convert but mine will be much less fancy than yours I do not know how to do all that stuff. It will be very simple I'm pretty much an urban camper as it would be my home so I really don't need a lot of kitchen stuff. You can see in my thumbnail I used to have a wonderful camper van, I regret ever selling him. I could stand up and it was wonderful.
I've not seen any mention from anyone as to what black material to use for curtains..... here's a tip from an retired advertising photographer.... when I needed an absolute black background there was only one choice.... Black Velvet.... it eats light. A cop can shine a flashlight at black velvet and it will not reflect anything... again... it eats light. Of course you want the velvet side to be facing the outside. Look at the video again and when he talks about his black curtains you will notice light is reflecting off of the curtains and has highlights that show up as gray. You don't want that. With material such as that, the cops will know that you are in there. If they shine that flashlight into the velvet they will see black and nothing else. Another mistake to avoid is that you want those curtains to hug the ceiling. You have to make the space for your rod or rope or whatever your using to hold it close to the ceiling. Don't place that fold at the top. Leave about 3" above the fold for material to fill in the cap between the top of the material and the ceiling.
That is a very great chip for me about the velvet. And that's exactly what I did on my curtains, was to create a tall ruffle at the top. Worked great with attention rod. I lived in my camper van for two and a half years and never had any problems being an urban camper, even with my camper van! So sorry I sold him!
Great tour. Have watched it twice already. A lot in common with my ExpOverlander. No build build. Using a futon to enable more space. Just had my timing chain replaced also! So far so good. 🙏🙏. Cost $2G’s. It better. Would love love to see a video on how to hack the windows as you have done. One of my early gripes since I do not plan on another roof fan. Appreciate you keeping it real. $10K is realistic for a build. Tire of the “$100 van build!” Lol.
Really loved it. the bed set up was not for me I so wish I had a helped to build out my Suburban camper Thank you fir sharing it is really wonderful camper van you build
Great van build, a little like mine only I have more open floor space but needed that because I travel with my gf. not full time, long road trips. Thanks for sharing.
@@DaveOTG Hey Dave. Yes sienna mv. I have most of the floor covered with padded carpet. We are backpackers so don't need much. Allows us to set up our camping sleep system that we have with us anyway since we do a lot of week long backpacking trips while out in the van. gives us enough floor space to have a mini room inside to hang in or sleep. Also stow two mountain bikes when the van is parked at the trail head for extended stays. Normal mode they are on the bike rack on the back. Keeps the setup more stealth when we are not in the van for days.
When I was full time in my camper van I used the same setup except a smaller bucket three gallon I believe, I can't remember the company or the maker of these things but I did buy small black trash bags so I could use regular grocery bags in my potty and then put them in a black bag so I could dispose of without anyone knowing what I was up to! 🤣
Great camper van. I have Toyota Sienna AWD and plan to camp in it for some road trips I have planned. I like the feeling of safety of sleeping inside my van vs a roof top tent or a ground tent. I need some blackout material and a temp sensor.
These are the blackout curtains I use on my Sienna. Blackout curtains: amzn.to/2M7vt5F temp sensor is here: Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer: amzn.to/32mJ3q6
There are a couple of companies that make window covering specifically for your vehicle. I paid about $175 for mine they fit perfectly! Heat shield is the company that did mine and it was a very good investment for me!
Nice set up! I have several questions for whoever wants to respond. 1. Where do you park your vehicle at night in order to sleep? 2. What do you do with your free time? Where do you go if weather is bad? 3. Isn't it expensive living out of vehicle? Also, having to move constantly will wear you out physically and mentally. Also, if moving ago, the cost of gas. 4. What is a typical day like for someone living full time in van?
Wow. It's perfect! I sure wish we knew each other. I would ask you how much you would charge me to do a build out for me. This has been a dream of mine for years.
I love this odyssey year, but I know they've had their transmission problems in this gen. How did he get around this? good rebuild? i'd like to get one one day.
Sir I had the odyssey too, may you give me all info about the awning.... please... Rack, bracket, awning... I like long awning like your had... I love it love it... thank you Sir
Great video Dave and thanks for sharing my van! I look forward to when we can hang out more. You can tell I was really excited to talk about my minivan conversion! ✌️
You did a very nice job on your build. I especially like the lights in the vents. Happy travels.
Nice. Love your setup

Yo Dave. When I get my van and get it hooked up I hope it’s worthy to be on your channel. 🙏🏾🍄
Hellllllz yeah, I’d love to have you!
It’s wonderful. I do find as I get older being able to stand up in a van is desirable. If you get stuck inside for 2 days due to bad weather it’d be nice to be able to stand up to prepare food etc.
I just discovered, in case you don't know, you can actually put a high top on a minivan! I'm 67 and a female with a pretty bad back so standing up would be so incredible!
The idea is you're free to drive to the better weather
Also he has the awning which helps
This is the BEST minivan build I have seen…..what a great job this fellow did!
WOW, I really like he used the vents as lights! That is the first for me to see anyone do that. using the seatbelt holes with lights instead and hacking into the wiring for widows and so forth. Awesome stuff. I would totally buy this van.
I definitely did like reusing the voids that were already there
Cool, I love that the bed doesn't take up all the floor space. I did that on mine too
I liked how he changed out things like the power buttons for the windows and the overhead lights.
I'm 6' 9" and drive a 2015 Caravan and want to start going on road trips. I don't want to build, but I do want to camp out of it.
Thanks for the video.
CheapRVLiving channel has tons of videos on no-build mini van campers.
I love seeing all the different ways people build/no-build their cars into campers. I have no desire to do this full time, but would love to do something like this for roadtrips!

Jay's channel is great.. glad to see him interviewed here.
I can't wait for summer vanlife look like..keep us posted
I love this van it feels so roomy, clean and just open. He did a great job.❤️
What a beautiful van build. It has everything, but not over do!! Thanks for this insightful tour!!
Think that awning is totally awesome.lots of van ppl would love it.
You have one of the nicer rollerhomes I've seen on UA-cam. I'm researching now and down the road I want to make a move and do some traveling. Thank you for the video ✌🏽️
Damn clever, neat, and practical…. Excellent fit out… well done 👍🏽👌🏽✌🏼🇦🇺
Thank God. Thanks for taking the time to show in detail the blackout curtain solution.

Dave’s inside kicked back - Jay’s outside looking in 😂😂. Amazing setup - lots of thought. Happy travel. Floor real nice.
😅
I love how you did the electrical and solar stuff. Very nice job on everything
Wow, awesome minivan. I can’t believe it’s a minivan.
This is the only conversion I’ve seen that offers an empty space. I always wonder how they manage to work out or do yoga on bad weather days. I don’t see any other van where it’s possible to do it inside. I need space. I could live in this! Nice job
Bless this man for having a nice home.
The rear window hack is great idea! Good looking build out

Insanely well planned...clean. Hats off to you Jayl
Omg 😳 so much floor space! Awesome

I have a Tow&Country minivan. I’m stealing some of these great ideas! Thanks for sharing! I especially like the indoor/outdoor thermometer.
Wow, one of the best, cleanest builds' I seen!!!
Its all just marvelous. Good Luck. And safe travels.
Super SMART, well-spoken, fun, good attitude, and incredibly cool van!! So glad you shared your story and van with us. I love the diesel set up in the back.

Nice 👍 I have a 2000 odyssey van also , I’d like to build something like you got , pretty kool
It’s so amazing seeing this ! Very tempting to start up my own alternated lifestyle also save a lot of money as well . Love the setting look so inviting and we’ll groom, neat , cozy , comfy enjoyable humble living !!! Congratulation 💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽💜🥰🥰🥰🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Killer setup brother! Such an inspiration
Great guy, good vibes; wish him the best.
A screen room is important against mosquitoes.
Love the interview and van tour... great to hear more about the van life.
I LOVE the awning idea!!! Been thinking of something similar when I hit the road to have more covered space.
Very nice video and he did a great job on his van.He really has some great ideas .
Outstanding! Love the attention to detail. And the awning!
You the man Dave! I look forward to your videos and I'm excited to start my sienna floor build this week😎
Hey Dave do you have the 96 inch thule load bars or the 78 inch or 56 inch?
Congats! Good luck!
Lovely and I live the tent bit outside
Oh man! You are only the second person that I've seen out of 100 Van builds, that uses the same bed that I want. It's so important for me to have some floor space and not be overcrowded!

I really like to see a video of how you install your diesel heater and where you buy one
These are available on Amazon. There's a link in the description
living the life
So neat & clean.
GREAT job Jay!
Neat set up i like it
I like how the bed is in the middle. Weight distribution is more even.
He wears a mont bell jacket, you know he's a good guy
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! Please put carbon monoxide alarm at ground level for safety! Happy trails!
Nice build and seems like a good guy. Just subbed to his channel. Thanks!
I've not seen any mention from anyone as to what black material to use for curtains..... here's a tip from an retired advertising photographer.... when I needed an absolute black background there was only one choice....

Awesome share!
Great tour. Have watched it twice already. A lot in common with my ExpOverlander. No build build. Using a futon to enable more space. Just had my timing chain replaced also! So far so good. 🙏🙏.

Appreciate you keeping it real. $10K is realistic for a build. Tire of the “$100 van build!” Lol.
Super clean, functional build.
I appreciate the well thought out and minimalist design.
Kudos.
Smart with the chair bed
You are a wonderful interviewer.
Really loved it.
the bed set up was not for me
I so wish I had a helped to build out my Suburban camper
Thank you fir sharing it is really wonderful camper van you build
Man this is super cool
Great van build, a little like mine only I have more open floor space but needed that because I travel with my gf. not full time, long road trips. Thanks for sharing.
You have more floor space than this van? 🤔
@@DaveOTG Hey Dave. Yes sienna mv. I have most of the floor covered with padded carpet. We are backpackers so don't need much.

I like the awing tent
I need to get one of those “buckets” too. Great idea
Yeah the bucket idea has been around since the bucket. They called it a chamber pot and I believe it was because it was used in the bed chambers.?
When I was full time in my camper van I used the same setup except a smaller bucket three gallon I believe, I can't remember the company or the maker of these things but I did buy small black trash bags so I could use regular grocery bags in my potty and then put them in a black bag so I could dispose of without anyone knowing what I was up to! 🤣
Great camper van. I have Toyota Sienna AWD and plan to camp in it for some road trips I have planned. I like the feeling of safety of sleeping inside my van vs a roof top tent or a ground tent. I need some blackout material and a temp sensor.

I'm watching all your videos. You have great ideas for doing van life without doing the Sprinter thing.
great van tour!
I love this build. I wish I could hire someone to do a build like this on my mini van
You're more capable than you know!
I want to make a screen room without the awning. I'm sure its doable by poles, uv netting and bungee chords.
Nice idea to hack the back window switches!
Great ideas for me, like the toilet!
Nice set up! I have several questions for whoever wants to respond.
1. Where do you park your vehicle at night in order to sleep?
2. What do you do with your free time? Where do you go if weather is bad?
3. Isn't it expensive living out of vehicle? Also, having to move constantly will wear you out physically and mentally. Also, if moving ago, the cost of gas.

Thank you Nathan! 🚀
This is awesome!
Very informative, thank you.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love this odyssey year, but I know they've had their transmission problems in this gen. How did he get around this? good rebuild? i'd like to get one one day.
He mentioned in the video, it blew up
I love it.
David doing just a great job! Enjoying every upload!
Great ideas.
So amazing guys
