    This is hands down the most ingenious minivan camper I have ever seen. I love all the switches and dials, too. Inspector Gadget meets steampunk meets vanlife? I would love to see a video about how you made your table hardware. I am going to cobble something together because the premade version is ridiculously priced, but yours is not only functional, it is lovely to look at too! And I'm mostly impressed that you weren't afraid to modify your van in very permanent ways. That, to me, is true creation.

  • @jannezack
    @jannezack 3 роки тому +56

    It appears you fabricated the different elements and powder coated. (You must be an engineer!).
    Amazing things I see here:
    Swivel table
    Swing-out Kitchen
    The board that ticks into your bed as a night stand
    The leather work to hold things (I HATE the mesh pouches and hanging shoe storage things where you can lose your stuff!)
    The fact that you got a 2nd battery under the hood! That’s the best place for it! (My Jackery 500 with a 100w solar panel runs my fridge and other things while boondocking).
    Needless to say you have plenty of lights all around. You thought it through to reach it from both sides!
    Best of all your seat covers! So cute.
    Great build!

I'm so very happy to have come across your Van Tour. What incredible detail...throughout. Absolutely a Top-Notch Vanbuild for a Minivan-Camper. Again...AMAZING! Thank you much for sharing.

    Love what you've done! That pull out rear counter ... I want that SOOOOOOO bad for my van! You want to make $$$$, start making "how to DIY" videos ASAP! You are very talented! And, if you haven't already done this: to add a toilet to your van, just get a coffee can + car litter or composting medium. It'll only get you a few uses at a time, but essential for 'just in case' lol!

    This is one of the best and most intricate minivan builds I've ever seen (ranks right up there with Foresty Forest haha). My favorite part though is the swivel seat - I've never seen that in a minivan but have been wanting that in my van. Could you tell us more about where you got it and how the install process was? Does it meet any legal requirements for a car seat in the US? Great build, can't wait to hear more about your travels!

      Thanks for watching my first project of changing this van into a camper van was to turn the front seat around I felt it was absolutely important in this tiny little vehicle to access that front area. And obviously I’m not the only one that sees the importance of turning the front seat around. And after using it on the road it is been amazing and very useful

    How terrific! You put some great ideas into your camper. I also have a Dodge Grand Caravan so I am always on the hunt for ideas.
    I love all the things you put in to keep track of your water and electricity. Smart to put lighting in all those typically dark and hard to see and reach places too! The swing-out kitchen in the back is awesome. You really could patent that and sell it.
    I am curious to go look under my hood and see if I have the same space you have under your hood for where you put the second battery. Did you have to take something out to make room for that? The switcher for charging on the floor next to the driver's seat is brilliant, as is your blower system! Gonna have to try tucking the mosquito screen into the back windows like you did...I have been struggling with how to best install that. Gaaaa...so much cool stuff!!!
    I do have two suggestions for you if it isn't offensive to offer them...
    1) I recommend purchasing the little cups that you put under the wheels of a bed frame to protect your van flooring and distribute the weight a little. The metal parts that you fold down in the front look pretty thin and could wear holes in the floor of your van over time.
    2) Speaking of holes, many people recommend putting holes of some sort in the bed platform to allow for air flow beneath the bed to prevent trapped air and molding. This might help reduce the weight of those lovely big birch sheets you are using and make it easier to slide them around when making the bed; in addition to the benefit of the airflow, especially for your AlpiCool, which you were smart to turn outwards so as not to block the vents.
    With all that said, surely it won't be just me who is eagerly awaiting any more videos you make. Following as we speak! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and build, and best of luck to you and your lovely wife Tammy on your travels.
