I've seen at least 75 van conversion van videos and this one definately makes my top 3 most favorite conversions. Excellent use of space, (love the laundry chute 😉) beautiful under cabinet and over LED lighting and beautifully functional shelving filled with gorgeous greenery and wonderful memories. Extremely aesthetically pleasing to the eye!
This was one of my favorites as well. I hate to admit but it took me half the video to figure out who was, "Blackhawk ". I thought it was a building company. Then I figured out it was her adorable father of her fur kids....ie husband. I was about to go look for that company on line. Don't tell anyone I admitted that. 😉
this has to be one of the most complete builds ive seen, just has everything. and the level of detail to even have a switch to lock the cabinets wowwww
What a wonderful couple. They are not only super talented but great to work with. They are helping us build our overlander box van conversion for our documentary film. The amount of real world knowledge and skills shine through inthe quality and functionality of their builds. I decided to work with them over others because how Blackhawk took the time to explain how for our use some things would be better than others without sounding condescending. Again highly recommend.
One of the best van build-outs I've seen. I don't understand why more people don't put in the bathroom - such a necessity in my opinion. Wishing you guys many wonderful travels!
Some people are klostophobic, that's why a lot of people opt for an open, fresh layout that doesn't look crammed and overwhelming. They just put the toilet inside ant this works for them. Everyone has different need and there is no wrong way for choosing your own layout. That's why you don't have to understand anyone
@@lafemme4331 I don't have to understand "anyone," but EVERYONE needs to use a bathroom!! I'd much rather have a composting toilet on board vs an "emergent" need in the middle of night...and where to "go"!!! 🤯😬
After months of watching 100's of vanbuilds, this is by far the BEST, most thoughtful, and well planned van build I've ever seen. Well done you guys.....like, really well done.
I don't think you missed a thing! This is one of the most well planned builds I have seen so far. One day there will be someone that will ask your assistance in building their own van ... and I see a possibility for a business here. Your attention to detail and expertise, in the assembly and fabrication of this beautiful machine, sets you a big step above others. Edit to add: I went to your web site .... found out I am a little late with my suggestion. You would be my first choice.
One of the best if not the best van conversion. This has everything. The all black color scheme is amazing also, and that TV/entertainment center is awesome. Great job you two
Ive watched a lot of these van videos and I have to say that this is the sexiest best most perfect van out there. This alone will be very inspirational if I ever get to do this!
Finally someone who has a bookshelf and has it filled with books! I really will need to have a big book solution. It’s really a beautiful van and one of the best layouts I’ve seen. Y’all thought of everything!
I was laughing because I couldn't believe you guys could put so many conveniences and necessities into a van! You truly created a practical work of love. If you loved building it, I foresee a great business in your future! Many happy miles and adventures to you both and your furkids!
Love this ...good bed, good countertop, a toilet and shower and Hot water, heat, two fans annnnddd two sliding doors... so fabulous and only 148 WB! I want it! Well done guys... you really put the thought into it and it shows!
One doesn't often see microwaves very often in vans, but I like them as they are so good for reheating leftovers. One can then cook greater amounts of food to be saved in (larger) refrigerators reducing the amount of cooking necessary. That's the solution for me. P.S. Great cabinet work! Nice design as well.
I think that this one is my favorite out of the many that I've "toured". Even without all of the bells and whistles, the layout alone is perfect. WELL DONE!
its a nice van at first I was thinking that the colour of the cabinets let inside look dark but when the lights are on its fine plus I guess when it dark you can fall asleep easily even in daytime. I really love your build and I like that you have a full bathroom. I think you guys did the right thing in taking your time to build. Happy travels.
Creative cabinetry goes to the next level for functionality. Like the shower curtain extra space. Fold away seat and table also brilliant for space. Love the outdoor lights and cameras, and the tailgate attachments save living space. Excellent build!👍👍👍
There are no words to describe just how amazing this van is and you both look so happy. I’m just amazed at how beautiful and functional, inside and outside this van is. The best I’ve seen. Safe travels to y’all.
A van with a decent shower / toilet, an actual freezer that holds more than an ice tray, an oven , a microwave, and most importantly a tv and switch set up? that's it. this is my layout. i need this!
the best part out of this is probably the under the bed pull out fridge/freezer and the carport pull out. this is pure genius. little things such as ambient lighting LEDs also makes the design modern too :)
Looks like you kids put together the perfect van....I too, wonder about insulation? Nice presentation, too. Hope to see more of your videos. As an 88 year old sweet lil ol lady....I wont be vanning much...so you travel and I'll watch and enjoy. *Recliner Babe*
Such a great van build. Not hard to guess Blackhawk is a carpenter, the finishings are so nice! Love the amount of storage, with little to no sacrifice on live space. Safe travels!
I liked many things in this van. 1) Most importantly they added Two Extra Leaf Suspension at the back suspension + 4 more spring suspension or other whatever you call it, at all 4 wheels. The Alloy Wheels. 2) Two side Door Openings, which we don't see in VlCamper Van. That's unique. 3) Huge Solar Panel Project on the roof of the van. Which is great electricity allday & night without interruption. 4) The rear side, how they managed to keep fuel cans & storage boxs behind the doors. 5) Front Mounted 4 Flood Lights on the top of the Van on the Driver's Cabin, The Awning Lights & The Steps Lights. Extended Steps. 6) Lifted some height of the van. Which can be used on rough road.
Having room to store the patio rug easily is a great idea. Having one of those is something people often don't think of, until much later. But it is actually pretty high on the list for an accessory you want to have along. Big RV's usually have enough storage areas behind outside panels. Vans usually don't.
I admire the work that you guys are doing. I'm from Cape Town, South Africa and would like to do a van conversion myself. I have a girl friend who's from Kyrgyzstan and I intend traveling to her and we'll either live in Asia or somewhere around the Mediterranean. Great work guys, all the best.
Did you install the front swivel seat me hanisms or is it factory. I know on some models the parking brake needs to be worked around. Great van and vid!!!!
A LAUNDRY SHOOT!!! OMG! I was geeking out over all the little details but that one... THAT ONE!! This is officially my favorite conversion! Thank you for sharing your brilliant project with us 😊
Looks great, nice to see you two pop up on the news feed again! Amazing job, I've just bought a 2016 transit minibus to convert know as the L4H3 in the UK with twin rear wheels. Great ideas to learn from, enjoy your travels 😊
Your storage pantry was amazing and your abundance of counter space. I want to save up for the Van by working at Home Depot or Lowe's. Laundry shoot under the mattress. The rotating television and the extracontainers on the back doors, extended poll for the shower curtain. Vinyl tile for shower. Master switch to all of the outside lights. .
Awesome. Well thought out. A lot of storage. But I would have used the standing cupboard as a closet and put the microwave in one of the shelves above the kitchen. The fridge area looks tight. I'll put a standing fridge instead. Also didn't see a shower head. Like the fact that you thought of books and gave a lot of space for it. You hardly see that in other vans. You can also add some plants and flowers.
Amazing self-built home van and enjoyed all the smart storage ideas. As a side note, you all gotta be cool since I saw some Clive Cussler books in your collection.
Alex from Australia. What an excellent presentation of your van build. The two of you have built an awesome functional van built by you for your life style. Enjoy and stay safe.
Wow so organised and such a fancy set up…. AND I have seen so many designs…… you really have thought this through …best of luck on your future ventures
Definitely impressed, the build out was done so well. The thinking of everything you need. The placement, the quality was exceptional. Also impressed with the video you did such a great job. You both are such a great speakers. I hope you really enjoy your van life. I’m doing a concession trailer build out myself. I’m in no hurry going to take a year or at least to do it. Can’t wait to get out there myself. My name is Dutch’s maybe I’ll see you around. I do stocks going to post things on UA-cam here pretty soon. Teach people how to do stocks correctly. Have the best day ever. Take care!
I adore this build. Love, love,love it! The organisation and content design are superb. So many good things. The double sliding doors are great. There's not one single thing I don't like. The end cost worries me a bit, but compared to a house, much more affordable, I hope! Happy travels to,this couple and their invisible dogs 😊
Dang. Incredible. I agree with everyone. Has everything. So practical and beautiful all in one. A question, Now that you’re on the road living the van life, what do you do for money, what kind of work are you doing to help pay for living the van life now?
Great looking van. Love the sliding door over the shower, and the pull out shower rail. I think the more narrow showers are too narrow. A shower isn't a must for me, but yours is one of the nicer ones I've seen as I think that long wall makes the space look neater.
really nice build guys! the carpentry looks awesome and also the swinging boxes at the rear. also the roof space is perfectly spaced out. Great inspiration, thanks alot for sharing :) The sidedoor on the driver side is also something I want to have, but without the sliding door mechanism. instead of that building a box the extends complete the living area via rail system. Saw this in an other van build. blew my mind.
little wifi? Did you think about counter sinking the stove for a seamless counter top? Surprised there is no storage in the sink front. Love the double door and bench! Finally I see two pop up tables!
I never saw someone with a 3 stage osmosis filter. Is it RO? Since Reverse osmosis produces waist water, wondering if the waist water is recirculated since it would be great to use for shower or dishwashing. I love how clean RO water is but isn't it hard to put it in a van? does it have enough pressure? I would love to see a video on the water system to see how it works.
Wow you wonderful people! You ought to be proud of it! Yes, I enjoyed your video a lot, thank you! Although I'm very satisfied with my own Campervan I love to see how content an proud you both are. All the best to you lovely young couple. I would have bought it either. So much good vibes in there, all the best for any new project, whatever it might be.
Thanks for watching!

I agree
Simply Fantastic,truly perfect vanbuild....the best....
Thank you so much!
One of the best van build-outs I've seen. I don't understand why more people don't put in the bathroom - such a necessity in my opinion. Wishing you guys many wonderful travels!
I'm getting into vanlife, and already have the shower part covered, just need the bathroom
Some people are klostophobic, that's why a lot of people opt for an open, fresh layout that doesn't look crammed and overwhelming. They just put the toilet inside ant this works for them. Everyone has different need and there is no wrong way for choosing your own layout. That's why you don't have to understand anyone
Like you said, that’s your OPINION. People don’t have the same opinion as you you do. Everyone has different wants and needs .
Right, I love vans with toilet and shower room
@@lafemme4331 I don't have to understand "anyone," but EVERYONE needs to use a bathroom!! I'd much rather have a composting toilet on board vs an "emergent" need in the middle of night...and where to "go"!!! 🤯😬

One of the best if not the best van conversion. This has everything. The all black color scheme is amazing also, and that TV/entertainment center is awesome. Great job you two
Wow, this truly has everything I would want. Shower/bathroom, and plenty of water and power is sold me. You all did a awesome job.
Ive watched a lot of these van videos and I have to say that this is the sexiest best most perfect van out there. This alone will be very inspirational if I ever get to do this!
Thank you!
Finally someone who has a bookshelf and has it filled with books! I really will need to have a big book solution.
It’s really a beautiful van and one of the best layouts I’ve seen. Y’all thought of everything!

That TV placement is genius

One of the most thoughtfully designed vans I've yet seen. So nicely organized with all you could need. Well done
I got a working van conversion and have been watching lots of these types of videos love the up and down shelf made from seat runners Brilliant idea
Your van is so completely organized. I have never seen a van that has been so well thought out. Congratulations on a job well done.

LOVE the details in this van! I was so glad there was that hidden bathroom, also the hidden tv!😃
Looks like you kids put together the perfect van....I too, wonder about insulation? Nice presentation, too.
Hope to see more of your videos. As an 88 year old sweet lil ol lady....I wont be vanning much...so you travel and I'll watch and enjoy. *Recliner Babe*

Favor part two sliding doors. Nice build. Welcome to VanLife.
I really love how much thought was put into each decision and item. Just brilliant. The Corrugated ceiling is a great idea.
When the Crawdads sing - Great Book! Also like your van home, very nice and well organized!

I want to do this. I couldn't live in it with my wife and 2 kids, but as a weekend toy, or to go fishing/camping this would be awesome.
A LAUNDRY SHOOT!!! OMG! I was geeking out over all the little details but that one... THAT ONE!! This is officially my favorite conversion! Thank you for sharing your brilliant project with us 😊
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen 3 interviews of this same couples van and I still can’t get enough. Also the guy has a name I could never forget.
🤙🏻🤙🏻
Probably the best Van i've seen for the size. It has everything.
Ditto on many o f the other comments including laundry chute, shower curtain extension, pop up tables. Great video. Thank you!
Loved the shower, the fridge/freezer, and pretty much everything else.
Looks great, nice to see you two pop up on the news feed again! Amazing job, I've just bought a 2016 transit minibus to convert know as the L4H3 in the UK with twin rear wheels. Great ideas to learn from, enjoy your travels 😊
My favorite part might be you guys. I love how hard you worked and I love all the little details you integrated. Very smart build! Enjoy!
This is one of the best vans I have seen. Congratulations on an excellent job.
Your van is the best build I’ve ever seen ! I’m so impressed with is external and internal features and your choices for problem solving WOW
This is it. This is all I want in a van for me. I just wish I could afford it.
You really should be proud. It's the best van built I have seen. Have fun guys and 💕 the dogs
One of the best builds I've seen out of hundreds.
The best van build ever. And a great young couple clever and hardworking well done ,enjoy your beautiful van 🥰👏🥰👏🥰
This is the best van conversion I’ve seen.. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My favorite part was how much you both love it!
What an amazing build! Can't see anything more you could have done to it! You should be proud of it! Simply fabulous!!!

Thank you so much 🥰
Nice van guys 😎🍷🚍⚓️🇬🇧
Love the pantry. The toe kick drawers are pretty clever too.
I have been looking at vans for ages - yours is the best one I’ve ever seen! Great job!

This has surpassed a van conversion. The two built a miniature RV! 💖
Great van layout, suit very nice for 2 peoples. Good job guys
i loveeee to see a nintendo switch with this tv setup, exactly what i was imagining to have but didn't know to how yet, thank you!
Beautiful! Lots of smart, innovative ideas. Obviously a skilled craftsman. Added to my “best van ideas” folder.
I can’t pick a favorite part because the whole van is awesome. Happy travels!🙏🏻💜
Stunning van. Absolutely beautiful. Subscribed to their channel & really appreciate you posting this, Nate!
Yes this is one of the best vans I've see till now, god job guys!
One of the best vans I have ever seen, you guys did not miss a thing!
really nice build guys! the carpentry looks awesome and also the swinging boxes at the rear. also the roof space is perfectly spaced out. Great inspiration, thanks alot for sharing :)

The best organized I have seen so far, this thing is awesome.
ive never fell in love w a van build so quickly 😍.
One of the best van I've ever seen on the web..
The space is so well distributed i absolutely love it
little wifi? Did you think about counter sinking the stove for a seamless counter top? Surprised there is no storage in the sink front. Love the double door and bench! Finally I see two pop up tables!
Im a fan of vanlife and so far this is one of the best.
Wow!! This is insane. I love your builds. Truly one of the best builders out there. One day I’ll have you work a project with me!!
Gorgeous! So well thought out, and so nicely organized. Very happy for you two, and your furry family members. ❤
I never saw someone with a 3 stage osmosis filter. Is it RO? Since Reverse osmosis produces waist water, wondering if the waist water is recirculated since it would be great to use for shower or dishwashing. I love how clean RO water is but isn't it hard to put it in a van? does it have enough pressure? I would love to see a video on the water system to see how it works.
Wow, you two packed a lot in that van! Great build!
totally agree on what they packed in that van. Like a magician pulling a bunch of birds out of this black top hat.
Definitely one of the bests I've seen!
Wow you wonderful people!
You ought to be proud of it!
Yes, I enjoyed your video a lot, thank you!
Although I'm very satisfied with my own Campervan I love to see how content an proud you both are. All the best to you lovely young couple.
I would have bought it either. So much good vibes in there, all the best for any new project, whatever it might be.
