This is a nice alternative to buying cargo vans and spending thousands to do a nice van build. You have inspired me to give this a try so I don't have to wait I can do this myself and gooooooo!!!!! Love the bed sink and storing clothes idea. Thanks for sharing with us
We traveled for 2 weeks from Utah down to Sedona through New Mexico and Texas. It worked out perfectly. 👍🏼
If anyone have said this, let me add my 2 cents. 2 thumbs up on you are Minnie. Van bill very beautiful, very functional easy. I love the way you built that. Thank you for sharing it with me
Thank you for watching! 😃
Dude you’re like… a genius! You must’ve reeeeally thought this through!
Thank you😀.
All I can say is, you could sell the plans for this set up! If my dad was still here, he would be impressed! I gather that you are an engineer, there’s so much genius here, I could barely wrap my head around it. I really loved the bed, and of all things, your clothing storage, basically creating a hanging garment bag out of the rear gate- - brilliant! My husband requires forearm crutches, and this is one of the first builds I’ve seen that he could easily get in and out of, simply by sitting on the floor via the side, sliding door, and pull himself in backwards. You have given me a lot of hope, I can see us creating something similar, and that means the world to me, because I never want my husband to miss a single experience.
Thank you for all the amazing compliments😀. My husband is not an engineer, he loves his cars and wanted to be able to travel comfortably and easily get around. We look forward to hearing about your traveling experiences. Again thank you!❤️🙏🏼
I agree with Valerie! My partner and I are disabled so ease of use is a huge thing, and your bedframe looks just like that! Seriously I would pay for these plans too as I am currently redoing my minvan camper!
Similar to Erik’s plans. Good job.
Love the idea of cloth for the window coverings.
The hanging clithes on the back door ....so clever! I will do this in my van as well so thank you kindly. Happy trails!
Thank you watching and you’re welcome! Happy travels❤️😆
I love how you use the rear door as a place for your hanging clothes. Very well thought out.
Thank you😀
Your van build is the very best minivan build I have seen. How you did the bed is the best! Mine is not so much of a build on the inside, but I do have a cool pop top that I made with a solar panel.
Nice! 😀 safe travels
He is a super smart guy. Best minivan build I have ever seen
Thank you😊
Your husband may not be an engineer but he has an engineering mind 😊 loved the bed!
Thank you!😀
Great job! The bed looks like the one from Eric Loves Earth only with sliders and aluminum. Thanks for the tour.
The channel is "Eric Enjoys Earth".
Wow bob needs to see this build.Wow..goodjob
Thank you😊
this is outstanding, the best build to date,
everything is liteweight, love the bed on sliders..
lucky lady to have her engineer do all the nice spec work..
some great ideas, for my own conversion, I love the tidy look
Thank you! We just posted the first video of the bed design in detail. Check it out! 😀
best folding bed design i've seen . Fantastic design using sliders and saving floor space.
Thank you😀
I'm currently looking for a Dodge Grand Caravan. This bed design is ingenious! Love that you can still easily access the "garage". Definitely saving this for later.
Thank you 😀 let us know what you end up getting 👍🏼
I just literally found your channel, my favorite part is the closet in the back window. Plus it doesn't look junky. Saving for future ideas. Great build.
Thank you 😊
Fantastic mini van build. I think ive seen 3 or 4 now that are just out of this world nice and yours is in that number. Someone could very easily live full time with your particular build.
Thank you for sharing.
Be safe, stay well and God bless
Thank you😀
T mmm
I've watched dozens of van build videos. There's a lot of great original ideas in this vid I haven't seen anywhere else. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 😀
Excellent job of conversion! Great share!
Such a great build. I like how smoothly the bed slides securely back into place as a couch.
Thank you! It continues to work very well for us. Check out our new van build I’ll be posting a new video on the bed build for that van coming up. 😀
Oooo...LOVE the idea of the hanging storage on the back door...very clever! Sure wish I had the metal-working skills to make this bed for my Dodge Grand Caravan. That has to be my favorite part of this build because it is so simple to convert. Not to mention being able to use the jumpseats in the back and still access the stow-n-go area. You would have a customer in me if you and your husband ever decided to make kits of this bed for DGC minivan owners to buy, FOR SURE! Thanks for sharing. Hope you both have some awesome travels and memories to be made in this sweet little stealth camper.

Thank you😀. We are in planning stages for another road trip!
My comment is probably way off topic. If you haven’t yet be sure to let down the spare tire. I have worked out of a Chrysler minivan for years. The winch that lets the spare tire down is notorious for rusting up. I was stranded with a flat unable to let the spare tire down. It was necessary to jack the van up and actually cut the cable to release the tire. Speaking with a service advisor at a Chrysler dealer he told me “yes I have seen dozens of these. “
FYI please make sure yours works way before you need it and check it often.
Thank you for the advice! We will definitely check it out😀
Great video the layout is nice!!
But the Couch/Bed is genius!!
Thank's for Sharing
Thank you!
Great build, nice ideas. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Simply fantastic! You have cracked the code, the sliders on the bed is a game changer
Thank you! 😊
Best minivan bed I've ever seen. Kudos!!
Thank you 😀
My compliments! Out of the box thinking with common sense soulotions! Superb!
Thank you 😀
Nice build. I could never do this, so I am doomed to just folding down the seats and throwing a memory foam pad down and my sleeping bag. Happy travels! Thanks for sharing.
One of the best I've seen
Thank you for watching!😀
I love that bed design
Thank you 😊
You did a great job showing the details of your built. Thank you!

Thank you 😊
This is genius, new friend here, thank you for the great content
Thank you for watching! 😀
@@ChristineIC your welcome
Nice job!! Very innovative
The hotels you would stay at on your drive to the destination usually cost more than at the destination. So anything you can do, a van, a tent, etc, will save a lot. I did a road trip to reno, and since its casino town, the hotels are pretty cheap. But on the way there you can spend $100+ for rooms that are dumps and sometimes even a roach friend or 2 to greet you in the morning.
Thank you for your comment. Very true hotels can cost more. On our travel to a destination we try to stay in the van. When we have longer stays than we are in VRBO or hotel. With our new van-Ford Transit-we definitely make use of the bed(new video next week on bed build). When it does come down to hotels we use points for our hotel stays. Did you catch our new van build? We have taken a few trips and everything we have done so far is working out pretty well!
I Love it 💖💖 its super fun it’s a wonderful experience thank you for sharing 💖
Thank you 🤗
You have donne a beautiful job with you build!!! The simplicity is awesome! Enjoy your travels!!
