Thanks Michelle Great process of trial ad error shared, its what’s the reality or us who do most of our build solo. I don’t think you mentioned your gas mileage, which is a BIG deal those days. Bet it’s better than a full size! Thanks Joni for bringing us along. Thurs happy hour! Sounds fun!
Thank you, Michelle & Galavan, for the tour! I am 54 and wanting to do this with my husband, so we will be 2 in there, yikes! But, we have slept in it once and it worked out ok, so I think it will be better once built, and one has a place to sit while the other dresses, if being stealthy, or we make a changing room behind using the doors if camping. I think we can do it! (& we will not be living in it, just shorter trips until we retire) But, I love how you shared your building attempts and the whys and wow, very informative! All in all, just a great video! Thank you!
You can definitely have a fold out bed for two. If can build pull our drawers out the back for your kitchen, can be done. I thought about doing that, but went what was easier for me. I have been inside my van from 6pm until 4pm the next day being as stealth as I could when I was traveling and had to work the next day.
@@michelleoglesbee-flores2518 Aw thank you for the reply! We are going to try something very different, because we use this van to haul farm supplies with too. We need a removable bed and max floor space. So, we are going to try a small foldout sofa or wide chair that we found here and it is being sent from a company called Jotex in Sweden. It has space under it for some storage, like thin low baskets, and we can use eyebolts and clips to fasten it to the floor. ...I deleted a bit where I rambled on about the ideas for the rest of the layout, but left this in case others are interested. It lacks the very nice storage of your bed though, but it is easily removable and that is important to us. But I have to say, that folding tool roll is BRILLIANT! I want one for the van, the house... everywhere! Happy travels! Best, Lynne
@@michelleoglesbee-flores2518 Oh, I just felt I should also comment as we cannot do a no build per se... because I do want insulated walls and a ceiling fan. We live in Norway!
Michelles Experiences are very interested. I thaught the same, so I decided the same. Before to start building. Because my Van has the same sizes. You have to start with your own wishes list. What all you want to have it, in your van. Not, what others have. As more I think about my wishes. As more it manifest it. In want it this way, and not any others. A van is easier to make for it - as a husband. Greetings from sw germany (middle europe): A gallon diesel now $ 9,70. But my small Minicamper has a good, long mileage.
Michelle, you're doing a nice job.
It's always a work in progress.
Thank you Joni for doing the tour. I love my little van.
What a cosy van!

I think I average about 20 mph
Loved the tour of your van Michelle!!! It looks super cozy and functional.

Enjoyed this video
I got my first van, a Ford Transit just like Michelle in March 2020
Impressive.
