This has brought me hope again, 99% of van conversions vans in youtube are made by experienced carpenters/engineers, wealthy people or lucky individuals that have families to help them. Thank you so much.
Oh, no, no, no, no! I have a safari which is about to undergo a "non" build camping transformation! No professional build, electric fancy, expensive work done, just simple, portable work. It will be secured but by the pressure method, easily to be taken out should I decide to buy a newer, bigger van and put the safari back to its original self to sell or trade in. That's what this man is doing, too! Fortunately, because these last several years boondocking and van/car living has just BOOMED and is vastly growing, there are now so many items to purchase for such nomad peoples that you can do it yourself! You can save money and perhaps down the road you can afford to make more elaborate changes if you want or decide you need to. Because of my midsized van I target most of these videos with this size van or smaller like the transit! The car camping videos help, too. The reason being, what styles these bigger vans, school busses etc have, I couldn't do in my van anyway. No room! Keep watching these videos and take notes, keeping in mind what size vehicle you will be living in. I Hope this helps! This is a great and perfect video to start!
I agree entirely! And this guy literally did everything the same as I did haha it's so funny. Even down to the battery he bought is exactly what I own. I spent a small handful for all of these things at first but after it's all in, you save immensely!
Not I, my van is a learn as you go process. Basically throw and go 🤣.
Exactly
Hey can you list the products and the Amazon link do you have a more detailed like comment that you can like say the pump like the links to the items I’ll buy them the links to the fan the links to the pump the links to the generator any help or I’m just passing going through and making my order list I absolutely love this what kind of items where you got them more details please please I love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ pm me upthehappyeveryday
What a nice man. Love how he talks about his van. I can see that he loves hitting the road in her.
Thnak you... yes i love going on little road trips and have a great time with her
This is perfect for so many who won’t go full time and don’t want to spend RV cost to get on the road!
Exactly, no need to spend so much... :)
I like how he is so excited to show everyone his van and how he did it so cheaply:) Happy travels to you.
Proud owner
Thank you... I tried to inspire many other and make them do the same
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures can I see your list like to order items on Amazon like everything possible
He makes a good point, for weekend warriors and newbies wanting to get out quick, this is a good idea. Thx Patrick. Have a great day. 🚲
:) Thank you
Very welcome
Been in my van almost 2 years now.. wow
Add me to the long list of folks who LOVE this video, fantastic and down-to-earth ideas. I am refreshed and hopeful that my van can be a camper.
This is one of the best low build vans I’ve seen. Some great ideas
Thank you
We agree!
We 3 agree.
Definitely nice!
We have an older van too! I built the bed in the back with scrap wood. And converted an old cabinet into a kitchen. We did purchase a toilet and we do find ourselves in places where we need it. I made an interior shower with a foldable swimming pool and a pump sprayer that i found on a hunters website just for taking showers away from home. We loooooove our little cozy home. There is always new little gadgets and solar stuff to add. Oh yes! We have a jackery which covers all our power needs so far. It recharges while driving, which is nice. We have only lived in it when we go on long vacations, but these have been our most memorable vacations. We take four small dogs and a cat. It all started with out wedding anniversary, all i wanted was to eat a pizza on the beach in a van with the doors open. It has led us through so many places, and to fish right out of your bed is awesome when you can back right ip to the water. Now we just start the van and the dogs start crying to get in. I wish I had discovered a van much earlier in my life. Its amazing to have coziness and just walk up to the cab and drive to another location without getting out of pjs. Or sleep on a cliff overlooking the ocean. I could go on and on. We love our van. 😊❤
Thank you very much for sharing your story.
I greatly appreciate Isaac and how thorough he is in explaining everything he uses for his van! I learned a lot from this video. Great van and video! 👏💖
Thank you, I tried to make it sound as simple as possible :)
Our pleasure!

Excellent interview! I have a Ford conversion van and the way he built his bed is genius and I’m going to get my husband to copy it! Loved all his modular ideas along with the fans as we have a fiberglass uneven roof too! Thanks for sharing this video!
Fantastic!
I'm happy I was able to inspire 😊
You are a very practical person Isaac, repurposing a family van into a simple stealth RV is simple, cheap and having a concealed base for a 3rd seat is brilliant 😎
Thank you for the support
What a wonderful video! I like this option--that a conversion van is a way to go for insulation/build out already done. So it's much easier to add to this, instead of starting from scratch. Thanks so much!
Great video production. Clear, concise, no waffle, good ideas, excellent audio, no music. One of the best I've seen in a long time. And I've produced and edited tons of videos. I'll be looking for some of the products, be nice if you could put links to the products, affiliate links will be supported. Thank you again :)
I love how Patrick almost never interrupts his interviewees and also remembers to ask clarifying questions at the end instead of interrupting. That’s *intentional skill* on Patrick’s part. Thank you Patrick.
I love his enthusiasm! His van is perfect
Thank you 😊
Thank you very much.
I'm so happy I found this. I never find any good ones for conversion vans without major construction. I'm flowing this foot print.
I am glad it was helpful
Out of the hundreds of videos I’ve watched on van builds over 2020, this is got to be one of my favorites.
Isaac you did an amazing job! I might try to contact you and ask you some of the details of your build.
Wow, thanks!
Same here, I've watched dozens of conversations. From $150,000 to this. And This is my fav video. Very inspiring
This van is a great idea, well done.
Thank you, it serves all we need during our getaways
If you live a simple lifestyle, (less is more) this is easily a full time mobile home. Awesome job with the creativity and build. God Bless.
This is excellent for people wanting or needing to "hit the road" and want to know how to get started, and don't have much or little money. THANK YOU!🤗👍👏
Ditto.We love our 96 GMC Savanna
Thank you very much. Please subscribe for more awesome van and RV conversions.
This is a wonderfully inventive and economical. I've slept in conversion vans back in the 90s and often thought they'd be cool to live in or camp in. The versatility of this build is brilliant! Just watching this gave me ideas of what I could do with my little SUV and what I have on hand...
Thanks for sharing!
I did the same thing, bought my conversion van for $900.00, 137k miles on it . All in expense $7000. I have it 3 yrs now and I use it for a jump in and go van. LOVE IT....best thing I ever did
Wow. I’m not a carpenter or mechanically inclined. This is a camper van even I could build! Thanks for sharing, Isaac!
I love it!
🎄✌️🤙🤘🎄
Trust me , i hardly know how to hold a hammer :) LOL and i made it work... totally doable, even a beginner like myself can do it...
Awesome! Thank you!
Just purchased a 1995 Ford Camper van 150 and this conversion is exactly what I needed. I want to keep my costs low. The flooring is genius. I was dreading pulling up the old carpet. While it definitely needs a thorough cleaning, just covering it makes perfect sense. The fan system is so cool. Going to check out the charging system, as well.
Years ago, I bought a 1998 GMC factory built Conversion Van, new from Dealer. MPG 19 MPG City-Hwy. Road trips, 20 to 21 MPG. Vortec-350, EFI. Transmission came with Overdrive which helped attain good MPG. I drove it conservative, no quick starts or stops, and HWY, generally Speed Limit + 4-5 mph over. Manually tested Gallons used per miles and got consistent results. Pay loaded - 4 kids, wife and camping gear. Overall, very impressed with my Van Model. One issue to factor in-the conversion was built on 1500 frame. With the added weight of the hightop and interior, it went through Brakes often - 30k to 40k miles. It's best to buy a conversion built on 2500 or larger frame to support the weight, or convert the brake and suspension to 2500, which the brake experts recommended. Great Van overall.
Thanks for sharing this excellent information
WOW!! This is the most interesting video I’ve seen!! I LOVE the fact that he left everything original in case he wanted to change it back!
I especially love that it was so simple to do without a lot of money & looks so nice & not tacky at all!! Thanks so much as I’ve been looking for something similar for myself & my dog to do some traveling when we wanted!! This is absolutely amazing & I can’t Thant thank you enough !! LOVE everything you did with this van!!!😍 Great job!!!
Genius and hope for the low budget and non mechanical person! Thanks So much!👍❤️💕
Glad it was helpful!
Wait. WAIT! We need to talk about his cable net Fishermen Hoodie Sweater! Loooove it!
Thank you for the support
This is exactly what I needed. I love that you thought about resale. This is the first build I have seen keeping the original fold down rear seat as a base for your bed; brilliant! I too am not looking to live in it, just long trips.
I have a conversion van just like this and he has given me several good ideas. Thanks.
☺
I can attest to those Opolars. Kept me alive for 3 summers now in my van.
Good feedback
I couldn't find Isaac's channel. This is exactly what my husband and I are looking for! Thanks for interviewing Isaac! Now to find a van in Missouri!
He changed the channel to Where RV going
Smart and economical design. If you used repurposed sink etc you could bring the build cost down even cheaper. I really like this it shows you don’t have to spend a lot to get started. Good job.
Thank you :)
fantastic low budget build. Going to copy many of his ideas in my own build this spring.
Go ahead and do it, really easy and a lot fun once you're on the road
I love this van conversion. I want to purchase a van. The bed is my favorite. I don't want a twin. I want full. His bed build is perfect.
You got this
I really like this, it's something that I could actually do myself!
Love this guy! Such a simple build made me feel like I can do this! I like the modular/ removable /back to original- ness of it all!
Thank you very much
I was looking for a van. Now I'm looking for a conversion van, thank you for the information. You saved me a ton of time and money...
Issac Angel...I've been looking at lots of videos trying to figure out best camper, by far this is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you so much for sharing!
I have a Chevy Classic Conversion Van with the full-on EXPLOYER Company package that I love for my quick Weekenders, Fishing trips and NASCAR outings. My husband and I are serious campers and I wanted something I could take on out outings without have to take our Motorcoach. For my 30th anniversary my husband got me the Van. Absolutely we both adore the whole convenience of having it. HAPPY TRAVELS to You and Yours.
Oh wow, that sounds like and awesome rig
Wow bravo to this gentleman, so thorough, beautiful van, great job, wish him the best travels
Thank you kindly!
Thank you so much :)
This guy is great, love his van.
Yes, agreed.
Thank you
Cool build, love that you kept so much original
I'm glad you like it
Wow what a passionate guy for his build loved it 🙏❤️🇳🇿
Wait to you see his next camper, video is on the channel
This is great for a newbie like me. Gives me hope that I could afford this and get to travel. I absolutely love his enthusiasm !
Incredible that he could do this for less than 10K, plus labor (his). It's beautiful, and perfectly thought out.
Couldn't agree more!
This is the best $$ saving video I've seen yet
I’m glad it was helpful Paul
I've been letting my fear get in the way for too long. This is so inspiring ❤️. I'm doing it!!!! Thank you for sharing this very doable non build, build lol.
Got for it
I looking for a conversation van for weekend trips too. This is exactly what I want to do.
Samantha you should totally do it
You can do it!
I've seen alot of conversions, but this video is the most helpful! Thank you for helping in my buying decisions!
One of the best van tours I’ve ever seen
I hope Isaac does more van/camping content on his yt channel 🚐

Very nice. Its inspiration for me because I am a beginner who wants to do a simple build.
You can do it!
Love this! Makes me feel that our dream could be a reality!!

Me too
Thank you for your tour. I love what you have done. Simple but functional. I like how you put a cabinet in and backsplash idea.
Glad it was helpful!
I love this! I’m interested in buying one for FT living and I love the fact that you point out so much is already base built in for you so you need less upgrading and work put into a cheaper simpler build thank you for sharing‼️👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks, great information on different options to travel when you are on a limited budget, especially the last three DIY Van Conversions on your channel.
Glad it was helpful!
Isaac and Patrick - thank you so much for sharing this concept. I know what leisure vans are but had never considered one for weekends or vacations. Great ideas Isaac!
Thank Larry... hopefully you can have amazing fun with yours
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you this video. You have provided exactly what I need to know and try out for a few months before I invest $150,000 on a Class B motorhome. I really appreciate you for sharing your many innovative van build ideas and equipment.
Glad it was helpful!
I really liked this guy! I really liked his set up! Nice to see how he has made this little "Home away from home"!
We love our can, she serves us well, I couldn't say it any better... home away from home :)
Thank you very much. Please subscribe for more awesome van and RV conversions.
You did a great job! I love the fact that the van can be returned to its original condition if you want to sell it to upgrade, etc. You gave me a ton of great ideas, I am busy looking for a conversion van at the moment. This is a wonderful weekend rig which is exactly what I want.
Such a simple build and i loved it.
What a beautiful job he did on this awesome van! I love all of the USB accessories. What a great find!
We agree!
Oo this thing is amazing its small and nice
Thank you

Think it's perfect for weekends and travel for extended periods. Great job 👍. Very smart!! Enjoy your travels ☺️
Thank you very much
thank you, Isaac .. I have been watching youtube videos re: many types of vans and builds for several years now and I must say yours is, perhaps, the best, so I shall be checking it out more closely for my own use .. so, again, thank you so very much, Isaac, for what you offer and your excellent explanations ..
I am glad this was helpful
This was SO informative.... May your travels be filled with joy.... ❤️

Thank you
i have a 97 ford conversion,
love it. been visualizing my build out. you brought it to life,. especially the fan ideas. and the floor your energy source simple and effecient
Go for it.
This is a great option. Easy build out for someone without carpenter skills and the systems they make now are easy to load into the van. I love it.
Right on
Im glad i was able to demonstrate that vanlife is possible for anyone
This is awesome. Love the bed concept. I want a campervan for short trips, not fulltime living. This is a great build that doesn't need a bunch of math skills and tools to figure out. 😁👍✌❤🎶
Awesome! Thank you!
I luv conversion vans. My mom had one and when I was in my 20's and we had the best road trips and vacations in it/with it. Great tour and Happy Trails to you Isaac!
That is awesome!
Thank you for sharing this very affordable van option!!!
Thank you Lisa
Great idea! I really am not looking into building, this might be a quick solution to test while I finish deciding what my final "home" will be. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Issac, for sharing and inspiring!
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved the awesome conversion!!

Fantastic build for weekend camping!! Love this vid Patrick! 🚐✌🌊💚
Thank you very much Christina
By far the best video i have seen concerning a conversion van.
Thank you very much.
This video has got me thinking about getting a conversion van. Thanks!
Go for it
I used to have a conversion van that I loved, and always thought it would be great to live in if I became homeless for any reason. It looks great!
It is a perfect weekender arrangement. I love to take photographs and to visit Parks or go to the desert or a mountain and take images can be just perfect.
Yes it really is
this is the best video i have seen in this space
Appreciate the support
That is a beautiful cozy very practical camper van! I really love it and it's done smartly and simply. What a great job, I've always wanted something like that . Thank you for sharing I really enjoy your videos Patrick
