This is one of the nicest builds I've seen in such a small van.
I agree! I love your album btw!!!!!!
I agree. I like that your van is not cluttered. A van cannot hold too many things.
Yeah it's true..... How greatful his built....
["8/10/19, In these Times of Transparency & Awakening the campfire symbols is an "X" which here is used to oppress human conscious via optical pineal induction. Most common folk are not aware of this trick and trap although corps(es) are. It presents the demon seed. Now y'all know. It's everywhere just look around when out and about from railroad crossing signs to being placed on the clothing one wears. So injoying looking at the de-MEN seed lit up with a fake candle doesn't work for those awoke. --QUEEN Ophthalmos"]
@@effiahalhumbhra3755 How do you function on a daily basis? Genuinely concerned for your mental well-being.
I don't really like a campervan without a toilet/shower built in, but this simplicity makes me rethink my whole taste in campervan design.
Maybe you should stay at home your not built for van life maybe just go away for weekends 😢
@@davidspencer4893 I am a married man, I have to cater for these features so my family can feel comfy. While I used to sleep on ground with only a travel bag as a pillow.
I used to think i wanted a bathroom in a caravan but when we got a caravan i found the bathroom is overrated. The shower doesn't have great pressure to wash the essential... and the grey water tank ia full without much use, meanwhile the water tank empties fast even with short showers etc. meaning that it only really works well when hooked up to water and sewer, which is expensive. So now i figure it's better to have a wash in a basin, and get some kind of portable loo. I love this little camper. (And wasn't that other fella snarky!)@rasisdegreat7747
@@davidspencer4893plenty of vanlifer with a proper bathroom and shower. There is no one way
@@Enoo-wynnsounds like your shower was very limited
This is so cute, I am really loving it. All the old style accessories no plastic crap - very cool.
The woodwork is amazing! You created a cozy country cabin on wheels.
This artist achieved his dream according to his capabilities. Greetings and appreciation to him and you
I'm currently converting my little van into a camper and this video has inspired me in so many ways to keep going. Thanks for posting the entire build, amazing!
You don't even have to get out of bed to make a cuppa tea. Perfect!
If you could morph a cupcake into a vehicle, this would be it. Superb attention to detail and craftsmanship!
the best and beautiful miniCamper i ever seen...bravissimo 👌💪
Greets from Germany
Can easily imagine goin’ down the road in this listening to the music!
Nicely build small camper van
That is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen! 😍 Love the little campfires, the vintage radio, the map - a very cool aesthetic, and has most everything one could need. Well done, and impressive in such a small space! 👍 Great music, too!
One of the best conversion after watching more than 150 videos. Your hand pump is just awesome.
Haha thanks Sanjeev 👍
Love the book "how to shit"
searched that during playback))
Thout i was the only one who saw
What’s it about?
It´s not a book... It´s part of the camper´s manual... ;-)
I saw that title too & laughed
I’ve had VW camper vans, medium sized Motorhomes, large Motorhomes, A class Motorhomes. This has all that you really need.
I loved your mini micro camper van. It looked like that has got everything apart from the shower. 👍
If I was bit younger & fitter my idea of heaven! A little cute van to roam, wander & explore! 🌐🚐
Too small for me, but completely adorable. Love the use of space, the retro/vintage look, the little details (like the cutout campfires, and the world map). Very cool.
Aaaawwww...this is the cutest, tiniest, warmest, well thought out camper van I have ever seen. I have fallen in love with this one. So minimal and clean. The colours used on the inside are just gorgeous. Those lil flickering night lamps and that lantern is awesome..I too am a musician and I loved ur songs. God bless u with more.
It's so quaint and cozy but packs so much character! I love it!
This is truly one talented man, a wonderful carpenter. No questions about his remarkable talent.
Thanks James, that's very kind of you!
I've combed through youtube and this is the best conversion I've seen so far!
I made a plan layout few days back for seating arrangement for 4-5 and sleeping arrangement for 2 people. This design exactly matched my layout.
And this is the most flawless and beautiful design I've seen in a small van. Love from India🇮🇳
I will save this as a reference for my future execution. Brilliant job.
Maan, I love this conversion, so much character, and so far removed from the boring generic builds
I'm so impressed you did this all by yourself! It looks great! I wouldn't have a clue where to start 😂 - in total awe of how clever and creative you are ☺
0:50 I love that little shelter on the outside! Little tip (; do it pointing down so if it rains the water doesn’t gather on top
Of all the tiny campers I've checked, this was the best one. And your songs are awesome. Hope you get what you deserve.
I am still excited about the other bigger van, and now this again. You are truly, truly talented and a big inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing. I cant get enough of those designs.👍
Best minivan conversion I have seen and I have seen a ton!
Cutest conversion ever!
100% yes👍
EVER. Period.
Very good
i guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Arjun Lawson instablaster =)
The van is so small,beautiful and clean. But what I am amaze from is your location. Such a beautiful backyard... i wanna stay there.. 🙂🙃
Wow your big vans were already beautiful but you've done amazing job with this tiny space. would have loved to come see it at Camp Quirky. Great micro camper with some very practical solutions
Hey Ben, how did you know it was at camp quirky haha? was the wristband a giveaway perhaps? Great place to head to if you're free next year!
@@WoodandWild I think I saw it on the quirky campers instagram or something? Anyhow I will definitely be going next year!
my dream RV, simple yet luxurious 😍😍😍
THIS IS THE CUTEST LITTLE VAN IVE EVER SEEN AND I’VE SEEN THOUSANDS THIS IS MY FAVORITE😍
This so small but one of the most tidy made camper van. I sure would love to stay here
Brilliant build! Love it! Not an easy task in such a small place. Love your music too and i like how you did this tour of your van it was different then all the others ive watched.
Until now this is the best van ever I have seen..
😍😍😍 I need this in my life... I wanted a big van but this little cutie has got me.. Its beautiful well done
Proving very nicely that to make a tiny home in a tiny van is possible without major compromises.
I loved the tour but that song is beautiful
hi man i also just bought a piaggio porter minivan like yours but with 4 seats and all glassed... i will inspire myself from your interior designs to build something for weekend in family with my two kids. really nice job you've done here ! clap clap !! hello from south of france
Very nice 👍, lot of good ideas,and most importantly,very neat 🚐✌️🏝️
Hey folks! I had quite a few people asking about the intro song so I've made it available to download completely for free! joeedwards.bandcamp.com/track/weve-had-our-time
Hope you enjoy and all of you are well and hanging on in there!
Are u oke ?
Oh, I like to buy and import this tiny camping car (South Korea). My wife hates camping so this is enough just for me alone to travel around.
At last a sensible design that keeps the floor space and offers 24/7 seating. This is by far the best designed small van on TH-cam. The carpentry is amazing. Have subscribed
Everything is so graceful. 😍
Simple, functional, funky, plus nice songs. Feel so complete on the road.
This is the cutest van I've ever seen and every space accounted for very nice!! I also love the music !!!
Stephaine love u more baby
@@drharrison5770 derp.
Super neat, compact and complete, I definitely can live in such a campervan conversion ...thanks, Lis
I`m trying to decide if gave a like because of the van or if was because the music.... Ur great mate!
Italian Piaggio Porter! Nicest conversion ever!!!
Another beautiful van design! You made such excellent use of your space. Love the music too.
Leah love u more baby
I watched your construction van video. You are an incredible talented guy and everything you do is quality. I’ve watched my van conversion…. Yours is my favourite 😊
deserves much more views and likes! great conversion, great video!
Beautiful build, had to watch it twice to get it all in. Congratulations on your first album. That is an awesome idea to build out a mini van for travelling to all your gigs. Wishing you lots of success.
Thanks a bunch! 😊
Love this build...simply amazing... I WANT ONE!!!
its really cute and i really like it because we dont need big camper to travel we all just need small and functional like this
Another camper van idea that you will never see motoring down any highway here in the USA. Since Volkswagen refuses to export their California Camper Van to America, (oh, the irony!) we are desperate for somebody to provide a camper van alternative. There are only a few aftermarket camper conversion companies here and they are a bit pricey. If some car company would make a camper van that would fit in a normal garage and sell it through their dealerships, I believe they would sell.
It's amazing all the huge bloats sold in north america. It's like we don't have any decent vehicles at all. I love the tiny motorhomes they have everywhere else in the world.
@Lord Thunder it's not like we have any say in the matter...
@Lord Thunder , The chicken tax has been in existence since the 1960's. And yet despite that chicken tax, VW exported their camper vans until 2003. So the chicken tax is only a small reason. I wrote to Volkswagen and asked why they refuse to export the camper vans to the USA? They told me they believed there was not a sufficient market. Americans are too in love with their SUVs to give them up for a more expensive camper van. And those who were truly interested in a full camper would buy a larger, slightly used motor home before they would buy the VW camper. Maybe they're right. Maybe not. But that was their answer, nonetheless.
@graham moore , I believe that's what I said.
You guys know you can import these size vans in the US...
I've looked at many camper vans, but yours thru its beauty and simplicity and brilliant use of space wins hands down.
Absolutely yeahhhhh
Great build dude. Thank you for sharing your camper set up.
Joe, you have the soul of an indoor designer. That micro van is classy/hippie as f.
Love your tiny home on wheels!!!
Kitchen was so sweet! Bed looked inviting. What an incredibly cute camper! Looked spacious and roomy yet so tiny. Bravo from California!!
Amei o cuidado e bom gosto desse motohome!! Parabéns!!!❣
It is more peace, more comfortable, more gentle, more like a home.
This is the cutest mini camper i've ever seen👌
Every time i watch this i feel cheered up and i feels like i dont need a big van to convert
Hi, you could go into business with this exact model. Great looking, very tasteful. Want one to :)
I just want one!!!!
Smart idea
I truly believe that if more people in the entertainment field; music and acting, could just think about living like this for a moment; the talent in this nation that we see, would be great.
Love this build. Would love one like this...
Thanks for your quick reply ,wouldn’t know where to start but thank you anyway.x
Dude, what a cool little rig! A little too short height wise, but doable! Thanks for sharing your cool motorhome 👍👌😎✌🏻
The small details are wonderful. Colours and organization lovely. From the Canary Islands SPAIN.
You should replace the little pop up table with the lagune table, it moves all around and you could use it as a sofa table too.I dont' think I spelled it right.
I love it. It’s the smallest van I have seen with everything fit in there! It’s so cute!
I LOOOOOVVVEE this van!! Too small for me, but I'm stealing your design ideas! :D
Me as well
Cute little van build with so many aesthetic and unique touches! Keep on running!
This is unbearably cute, though I imagine living in it for more than trips would be plain unbearable.
I am from Costa Rica and I did not understand the language but I loved it, greetings from Costa Rica
4:26 How to shit around the world🤣
I don't know what I more like - your music or the camper... they are both great 👍
Hey Gregor! Thanks so much, really appreciate the kind words! :)
Love this!
They got so much put into a truly tiny space, very impressive!
What a great job!!! Best micro camper I've seen. Did you design and build it all yourself?
Unbelievably cute! ...and looks quite clean & functional too.
Lovely ❤
Wirklich klasse gebaut in dem kleinen Piaggio Porter.
Gut durchdacht.
മലയാളി കമോണ്ട്രാ, 🤩
Wow, best mini-van conversion I've seen. Your van doesn't seem fragile-seems like a quality build all the way around. Nice details!
great job! love the car too! what brand / model is it?
also, at around 13:30 on, HOW TO SHIT AROUND THE WORLD ... sounds like a great read i guess!? ;-)
Its brand is Piaggio the model name is Porter. Popular vehicles like Vespa or Ape are made from Piaggio as well
Great toilet book
I hope to do something like this with the old ChevyVan in my Grandpa’s barn. It looks like it was made in the late 70’s and i absolutely love it. My favorite thing is the yellow, blue and purple shag carpet walls. I don’t want to get rid of it but at the same time, if I want to remodel the inside I’d have to get rid of it
That's SUPER cute yet functional considering how small it is
Just picked up a Atrai XX, was thinking about making a slide in corner cabinet SINK, STOVE.. for camping. Great job!
ha the little campfire tealights are so cute. in fact this whole build is really cute.
Very nice. The most cozy and cutest conversion mini van i’ve ever watched. I really like it.
This is my favourite build. Warm, basic, yet beautiful.
Mr.Joe your good on guitar an good singer your little camper van is the best you ha e everything need you are very clever it's also beautiful. Great job
Great little camper. You could make your breakfast while you're still in bed! Thanks for posting!
I can’t believe how much you can fit in your little van! Such a well thought out design. Love the kitchen splash back 👌 lots of inspo to use on our van re modelling!
Excellent project! Wish a had a van like that!
You have beautiful soul and cozy home. 😊I am super happy for you. I pray all the success to you and youre brother ☀️🕊
