This is brilliant. It's the perfect combination of practicality/functionality and aesthetics. The woodworking is absolutely beautiful. Just as I was thinking about how good looking and practical those leather drawer pulls are (I saw them on another of your videos also), you mentioned them. I love everything about this van conversion. You have done a phenomenal job.
Great job Josh. You do things so tidy, neat and clean! Amazing craftsmanship and van conversions. I hope to be able to get you to do one for me. I’m saving up for it. I used to live in Oshkosh. 👍😎
Love it and your own created business with the leather handles is kind of jaw dropping when you consider your explanation about bumping into them while in van. It's a no brainer!
I agree, the leather straps are the best I have seen on ANY build. I love them. The tour was very nice showing all the possibilities with limited space. Thank you for sharing your work.
Omg! I laughed because I love this and I'm thinking of specific tweaks or applications for me. If you can accommodate then you are my builder! I was chuckling because you could get a glass of water from bed without getting up, lol. From the very first video to this one, (I'm cleaning and taking breaks to binge watch you) you already made one of my tweaks with the 7 gallon water tank, two of which I have and need in a 15th floor condo, in the event of an emergency, think no elevator or electric means no water, prep is key. I live in Honolulu. Also I love the rounded corners. Finally someone who reads my mind. 😅
You build the most functionally practical small vans I have ever seen. They are so pretty as well. When it comes time to build my van out I hope you are still doing this because your my van guy.
Excellent work! I also appreciate the use of white, natural wood, and the color accents chosen. I also like the mention of the leather drawer pulls and reason for them. (Subscribed)
love the simple design of this-less is more and lets all the natural details like the leather and butcherblock stand out-calming and beautiful plus a few things i have not seen in other builds too.
Really well detailed and thought out. Excellent explanations and walk through. I'm always amazed at the number of people who opt for a kitchen space over a commode. Different preferences I suppose!
Wow. Beautiful! As an elderly woman, I would not be much for crawling around in a van. However, during Covid, I was yearning for a van that I could use to eat in without going outside, either by using take out, or by cooking my own food. Being able to go from the driver/passenger seats, to the back without going outside would be an essential. I also live in Manitoba, so we get very cold winters, as well as some pretty cool springs and falls. Living in a van would not work, yet it would be wonderful in the case of an emergency. Well done job!
Brilliant! Gorgeous and understandable for someone like me with ZERO knowledge or experience who is muddling thru a trailer to camper conversion...esp that damn electrical mess!😵💫. Thanks so much and, yes..love the leather drawer pulls. I used thrift store belts.
I have the same water exit never had a problem until I was in Savannah Georgia. I was in the front seat minding my business and some guy walked over really close to van and almost looked under just to see where the water was coming from smh. It was only water but I guess he was super curious. If you choose this route make sure to use eco-friendly products that are biodegradable so if anybody harass you about your water leaking you will not get in trouble. It’s crazy though because you drive right down the street to the grocery store and see someone doing car washes with actual chemicals and nobody is phased about it. Safe travels y’all😉💓
Love this conversion. I noticed that the finishing on your cushions are pristine. The electrical placement makes it so easy for a novice that even I am thinking of a van conversion. Great work!
Pretty nice! I love all the ways you were able to "hide" drawers and cubbies. I agree with the leather straps. It only takes one time to bump a shin or toe on regular drawer pulls before one wished they had the straps instead. Lol.
Beautifully finished, perfect balance of form and function down to the piping on the cushions ... and I have seen thousands of conversions. Lucky owner.
Absolutely Beautiful. Clean lines great colors too. Your professionalism and organization is “high quality” Leather is a nice touch. Questions about calculating weight for tires, wiring installation and measuring. Do you teach? Very motivational 😃
Another beautifully converted Van. Your workman ship looks so good and the designs are practical, tidy and so lovely to see. If only you were in the uk!!
Do you know what I love most about this? The small touches with the panel that gives you more desk space, and the sink cover that does the same. I was struggling thinking of how to make a workstation work for me, while keeping it a liveable space, but I think those simple ideas work.
This is gorgeous! That electrical setup is a thing of beauty. 😍 I have been hanging out in my Ford Taurus a LOT. Trying to see if I can do something smaller than a high roof van. What I've noticed is that I'm very comfortable JUST from the driver seat alone, and that it "forces" me to do more "outdoorsy" things to "stretch" my legs. 😁 Doing something similar like this beautiful van you built would be 2 steps up from my old Taurus, yet still make my introverted self get out in the world. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!
Any chance of a video? I've been thinking about one for a build and it's easy tog get taken in by these professional level builds, would be good to see a more realistic/simpler build! Thanks
Wow, very impressive. The nicest little van build I've seen by far. You do such great work. Everything I'd so organized and clean. I absolutely love it!! Safe and happy travels to the very lucky owners.
I have to say, it's probably the prettiest build I have ever seen.
Hands down best small van conversion I've seen on UA-cam!
Yikes! As someone who spent many years in the RV industry, (albeit a long time ago), I'm really impressed. This Nissan is all I'd need and more.
This is brilliant. It's the perfect combination of practicality/functionality and aesthetics. The woodworking is absolutely beautiful.

I love everything about this van conversion. You have done a phenomenal job.
All your builds are superb, yet you still find a way to raise the bar with every new build. Not a wasted square inch, and everything looks amazing!
I love it! It is the neatest small van I've seen. I especially love the enclosed wire and easy access side panel
Agree with you there, I'd love to own that when I was younger.
The electrical panels job is stunning!
Amazing build! Really made the most of the small space, great storage, design, well thought out. Nice aesthetic. Just fantastic!
Awesome
Great job Josh. You do things so tidy, neat and clean! Amazing craftsmanship and van conversions. I hope to be able to get you to do one for me. I’m saving up for it. I used to live in Oshkosh. 👍😎
Genius! This granny would love one of these for her camping juants. Bravo!
This is one of my favourite conversions I've seen to date.
Your builds never cease to amaze me! LOVE the desk design! Gorgeous work as always. Your editing skills are even better than before as well 😊
Thanks! Wasn’t sure how the feed back would be about the desk but I’m glad you liked it!
@@Josh_Oakes hi, where are you located? I'd like to get a bid for you to do my ford transit connect.
@@Josh_Oakes Hello Mr i wandering if u do come vancouver Canada I would for you to convert one for me
I absolutely LOVE this build.
This is one of the best
buildouts I've seen.
I hope your client
appreciates the quality
of your work.
Exceptional, dude.
YOUR workmanship is totally professional now. Congratulations !!
I don't leave comments often. And I watch a ton of videos. You do incredible work. I love the way your mind works on behalf of your client. Great job
Appreciate it!
Best one yet! Your use of space and finishing is top notch!!! Congrats an a beautiful build.
I appreciate it!
Wow, that is both aesthetically and engineeringly beautiful. Phenomenal design and workmanship.
Love it and your own created business with the leather handles is kind of jaw dropping when you consider your explanation about bumping into them while in van. It's a no brainer!
Очень нравится ваша работа , аккуратно и все вместительно и чистая работа умничка , молодец , самый лучший вариант.
I agree, the leather straps are the best I have seen on ANY build. I love them.
The tour was very nice showing all the possibilities with limited space.
Thank you for sharing your work.
Fantastic conversion. You have become a master of the van build for sure.
The best and most efficient build I’ve seen so fsr
You are a MASTER! This is by far the best build I've ever seen. I've watched A LOT of build vids. Great planning and great quality!! GREAT WORK!!!
Clean build! I wish Nissan didn’t discontinue the NV200 this year. It’s great for conversions, good on gas, and easy size to drive and park anywhere.
i nearly bought an nv200 but i noticed that alot get rust above the windshield. so i got a T5

This is by far the best small van built and neatest too! You are a master of the craft.

Great and simple idea from the Desktop 👏👏👏
That inverter is a beast!!! Pristine build! 🤌
Amazing. Great Work ! Beautiful and functional.
I’m so glad you’re still at it! Your work is fastidious and beautiful.
Wow... amazing what you did in a small size van. Your craftsmanship is awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Quebec, Canada.
Really well detailed and thought out. Excellent explanations and walk through. I'm always amazed at the number of people who opt for a kitchen space over a commode. Different preferences I suppose!
Beautiful cosy, clean and clever campervan, one of my favourite so far on YT.
the bugnet, what a feature....never seen in other vans. How neat is the craft and the attention to detail, amazing van!!!
Wow. Beautiful! As an elderly woman, I would not be much for crawling around in a van.

Well done job!
Very thoughtful and ingenious design! And with aesthetic touches to boot!
It is in the tight spots, in this case literally, that real design, craftsmanship and execution are shown and utilized to their fullest.
I wish you were in Maryland. I've been watching you for a year and a half and I finally bought a van. Your work is great!
Thanks, Josh! You actually put down the links that you promise---unlike many other youtubers... Lots of links, you rock!
Again another AWESOME build by Josh.
Thank you!
Holy cow. That's absolutely beautiful!
So well thought out. I want to upgrade my Romahome after watching this.
I really like the kitchen setup with water at end for easy access and all the electrical is easy access. Great design.
I think you just bested yourself with this van.Sharp and clean and so attractive
I miss your build videos. Nobody makes them like you.
Hoping to make some more!
Brilliant! Gorgeous and understandable for someone like me with ZERO knowledge or experience who is muddling thru a trailer to camper conversion...esp that damn electrical mess!😵💫. Thanks so much and, yes..love the leather drawer pulls. I used thrift store belts.
You have a singular talent. If ever I decide to build out a van you are who I would choose. Love the desk design. Excellent use of limited space.
Thank you! Glad the desk is taking a liking!
Best vans I've seen well done. Much experience me thinks. Newbies may not realise how much knowledge is in your builds.
Wow a very clean build, no "too fancy" things, everything is so simple yet aesthetic.
Well great use of space!!! Perfection! Love the white and wood look too then the pop with the leather handles.
Excellent build, looks amazing :)
Edit: The electronics part looks amazing!!
Thank you! Took a little while but glad it didn't go unnoticed!
@@Josh_Oakes innovative with the desk drawer conversion you must have a really good mind because you very innovative and clever
I agree. Just wanted to know if you need to replace a fuse in the rain would it be okay to open the door?
I have the same water exit never had a problem until I was in Savannah Georgia.

Awesome build out. Nicest I've seen anywhere. BRAVO 👏 job!
Love this conversion. I noticed that the finishing on your cushions are pristine. The electrical placement makes it so easy for a novice that even I am thinking of a van conversion. Great work!
Appreciate it! Wish I could take credit for the cushion but I didn’t make them. However, they did turn out amazing!
Fabulous craftsmanship- BRAVO!
Yess, the neatest one that I have seen too.. Congratulations.. Clever and aesthetic mini van
!
Absolute mint conversion pal 👍. The quality shines 5hrough. Well done 👌
A very neat job indeed, a place for everything and everything in its place, an excellent outcome.
Beautiful work, man!
Putting the electronics in the for is genius!! Very pretty van! 😊🇨🇦
Great build for such a small vehicle.
Pretty nice! I love all the ways you were able to "hide" drawers and cubbies. I agree with the leather straps. It only takes one time to bump a shin or toe on regular drawer pulls before one wished they had the straps instead. Lol.
It may be small but it is mighty. How good is that,, fantastic effort.
Sehr schön und sauber verarbeitet. Da steckt viel Liebe im Detail.
You're only decision away from your goal! - Awesome quote! ❤️
Beautifully finished, perfect balance of form and function down to the piping on the cushions ...
and I have seen thousands of conversions.
Lucky owner.

Talent - you have it young man . Great work great job on the video.
LOVE the Electrical Panel.....Love the whole thing really.
VERY INTERESTING. MAKES ME WANT TO BUY A RV AND GO ALL OVER THE WORLD 🌍🌍🌍
Another beautifully converted Van. Your workman ship looks so good and the designs are practical, tidy and so lovely to see. If only you were in the uk!!
Thank you!
@@Josh_Oakes nice work Josh if I may ask where are u based at?
Is wow he really stepped up his game compared to his earlier projects. Is very neat and professionally done here

Absolutely amazing build. Perfection! 10/10.
Boy I needed this video. Been thinking about buying an e-nv200 and convert it. Now I know beforehand how it is gonna look like ;-)
That electrical setup 😍
This is gorgeous! That electrical setup is a thing of beauty. 😍 I have been hanging out in my Ford Taurus a LOT. Trying to see if I can do something smaller than a high roof van.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!
I’m using your build as an inspiration for my Peugeot Expert. I am especially intrigued by the setup of the bed.
You are my favorite van customizer!
Thank you so much for not putting horrible music behind your videos. Your work is impressive and looks amazing.
The drawer used as a desk can also be a great place to eat.
Putting the electrical in the door was genius but also scares me but it's such a Good idea!
Love the bigger sink in this one. Your builds are absolutely gorgeous! Congrats on this new van!
Definitely a better size for the faucet, appreciate it!
Really nice van build! 👍👍
Beautiful workmanship. I especially appreciate the leather in combination with the wood.
When the bed is folded out, it goes right up against the refrigerator cabinet. I guess midnight snacks are out.😄
You'll just have to snack on your woman to fulfill that appetite,😅
If I am to choose a conversion it will definately be yours. Great workmanship.
That flip down electrical panel is very nice.
Beautiful job, in terms of design, aesthetics, and efficient use of space. This video's a keeper...
Ooooh. That electric set up is pretty. I love me some cable management and organising.
Sweet. I have an NV 200 with a much simpler build but this gives me some great ideas to upgrade. Thanks!
Any chance of a video? I've been thinking about one for a build and it's easy tog get taken in by these professional level builds, would be good to see a more realistic/simpler build! Thanks
Beautiful build and I so love the leather artistically appealing clean and practical very very nice
Wow, very impressive.
The nicest little van build I've seen by far.
You do such great work.
Everything I'd so organized and clean.
I absolutely love it!!
Safe and happy travels to the very lucky owners.
Wow. This is such a well planned build. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Constantly Improving the Quality. Great Inspiration.
