    Another absolutely beautiful build. Your builds really hold the bar high for any other guys wanting to get into the van building biz. Im looking for someone that can do this up in Vancouver.

    Always outstanding work. Beautiful. I debated a long time whether I could live in one of these smaller vans. Ultimately I went with the big promaster.

    • @Josh_Oakes

  • @SmallVansBigWorld
    @SmallVansBigWorld 11 днів тому +1

    Great looking conversion! The fit and finish is great. Couple things that are easy that you can add to finish some of the details is interior panels on the sliding doors. Even just some insulation and a 1/4 plywood will add some temp management. And then around the rear door, finish off the trim with some black automotive fabric to minimize exposed cold metal on the interior of the van.

    • @SmallVansBigWorld
      @SmallVansBigWorld 11 днів тому

      Also, how come no windows or no solar?

    • @SmallVansBigWorld
      @SmallVansBigWorld 11 днів тому

      You gotta come to Indiana some time to see one of ours and for us to compare notes! Lol

    • @Josh_Oakes
      @Josh_Oakes  11 днів тому +1

      Appreciate it! The vans are all built to the clients request. There was a hope of adding rear door OEM glass but the 2023 model now uses all metal doors opposed to the older models that had a fiberglass panel that could be easily removed for window replacement. No solar simply because the clients power needs vs storage needs (possibly adding addition roof storage) but the charger allows for solar hook up if one day they want to add it. I’ve seen some of your builds and like your ideas! Same goes to you if you ever wander up to WI. Would be great to chat more about these tiny vans, if there’s any interest, just a shoot me an email!

    • @SmallVansBigWorld
      @SmallVansBigWorld 11 днів тому

      @Josh_Oakes I really hope they bring back these Connects, it's so annoying that they discontinued them in 2023.

    Josh really beautiful work and pleasant design. I do little improvements to my four year old Ram Promaster City. Would love to have your latest release though what I have works and is DIY attractive. Two more years of payments on my rig. Thanks for sharing keep up the great work.

    Great set up. Love the colors/prints. Would that conversion fit in a Toyota sienna mini van.

    • @Josh_Oakes
      @Josh_Oakes  7 днів тому +1

      Thanks! The sienna might be a little tricky to fit this exact layout.

    Beautiful work as always Josh, I took inspiration of your models to make my micro camper van. But I always wondered, how does the discharge hose works?

    • @Josh_Oakes
      @Josh_Oakes  11 днів тому +1

      Thanks you! The discharge hose simply runs through a cavity and out the bottom of the van. On transit connects in specific there is a factory grommet at the back on the passenger side making it easy to pass the hose through without the need for any drilling of metal.

    • @tinaperez9756
      @tinaperez9756 9 днів тому

      Very cute but I’m not liking just letting your gray water run out into the street or wherever you are. That is not legal everywhere.

  • @moonchild7456
    @moonchild7456 9 днів тому +2

    Cute! Just wondering if there's a toilet option.

    • @Josh_Oakes
      @Josh_Oakes  9 днів тому +1

      Thanks! A portable toilet can certain be fitted. There is a tour on my channel of an FTC, similar to this one, that features a toilet cabinet from 2024.

    @jeanneroy1494 11 днів тому +1

    I’ve always loved your builds. How would I find pricing on something like this Connect? Love it. Does it have insulation? Window covers? How wide and long is the bed? What’s going on in the front? Any extra storage in the driving area. Heat source?

    • @Josh_Oakes
      @Josh_Oakes  11 днів тому

      Appreciate it! For more info on pricing visit briarwoodvans.com. This build features insulation throughout, bed sizes vary build to build based on client needs, and there could be more storage added up front if requested.

    I admire your work. But paying $25,000/$35,000 is too much,😂😂 even if had that amount of money I wouldn't do it. I guess this is for the super rich people.

  • @cherifroehling6593
    @cherifroehling6593 9 днів тому +1

    Great build- but it is illegal or against local codes in many places to discharge gray water to the ground. That really needs to be addressed.

    • @Josh_Oakes
      @Josh_Oakes  9 днів тому +1

      Appreciate it! The clients who use the discharge hose have to take those factors into consideration. There is certainly room to add an additional tank inside the sink cabinet for grey water.
