    Love this layout and coastal boho decor setup! Thank you so much for sharing

    One of my favorite vans! Something I particularly love, is how you incorporated the white van with the wood interior by blending some of the wood with a white-wash finish. This really ties beautifully with the exterior color and brings harmony and balance by allowing the natural wood colors to invite the eye inside, rather than over power. I mean, I love many all-wood interiors also, but your design is simply pleasing all away around. Very well-thought out. Thank you both so much for sharing!

    Thanks for sharing this great build! The van is perfect, cozy, and well put together! Y'all are such a handsomely, beautiful couple! What an awesome way to make make memories with the one you love! Best wishes on your exciting adventures, and best wishes on many, many wonderful years to share them together! God bless. Love n hugs, J'Linn

    Like the fixed bed setup. We did the same basic layout in our E150. If anyone is curious, if you keep your walls thin someone 6' or less can sleep sideways in the Ford's. It's especially do-able if you're a side sleeper with a little 'bend'.

    I'm currently in the process of converting my van and this is one of the most cozy designs I've seen.
    Thank you.

    Nicely done! So warm, homey, and inviting. While you both seem tall, you manage to make the height limitation work for you. Safe and happy travels.

    Looks real nice. Never see the need for a sink though, takes up too much room. I have a Econoline build and I put my 6 gal jug wedged next to the side door with a 12'' hose to let the water drain onto the ground or into a bucket or dishpan.

    I am always amazed at how efficient small spaces can be utilized. I was initially on the hunt for a van pretty much like you have, but the small bus I have right now I’m converting came up for sale for the right price and I just could not pass it up. And if I ever rebuild I will probably downsize to a van.

    Nice build - looks good. Which engine does your van have? I’m wondering if the 6cyl is much more economical than the V8. Also do you have a link for that rechargeable tap you have - looks neat. 👍🏻

    • @jalexb915
      @jalexb915 3 роки тому

      Get a V8. More power, and not much worse on MPG. Plus it should last longer since it doesn't have to be overworked like a V6

    I’d like to know how to attach the wood panel to the door since it’s metal.

    • @flowrob6861
      @flowrob6861 4 роки тому +1

      U can use smal size drill bit for starter hole . Once u have gone through wood panel & metal , small self tapping hex head will create the threaded hole. Pan head screws of same size will attach panel to doors . Use ArticKing duct foam with self adhesive to insulate inside door .

    Is interesting that they made the comment about the Econoline's being good on gas mileage...here in the states a similar van gets 13 mpg which is AWFUL...and thus this wonderful sized van is off my list....the build out is BEAUTIFUL...i love how simple, efficient and pretty it is...very nice thanks for sharing.

    • @flowrob6861
      @flowrob6861 4 роки тому +2

      Some time MPG is Just part of the cost . Here sold walls means Commercial insurance rates $$ , newer vans got monthly $$ & higher insurance costs . Our gas $$ is less than monthly payments .

      @@flowrob6861 You are right about the trade offs for lower gas mileage...this pandemic makes small van life hard and those tradeoffs are looking like something I should just try to figure out...thanks for your comments and perrspective..

    No heat? No cooling? No bathroom? No refridgerator? No shower? Vans aren't too wide so I coulding sleep in that short bed. The "table" needs a support or it won't last too long. I give this build a failing grade.
