If there was a Nobel Prize for van builds, it should go to you! That electrical panel is a work of art. So many genius and beautifully built elements. Very impressive.
Becky l have just watched you but aside what I have seen l want you to help me seriously.l have this econoline E350 2013 model which involved in an accident my problem is that l need a front cut to repair the damage. The front driver side, the grill and the bumper are all totally damaged can you please help me by letting me know the cost and shipping.
Great video man well done I have 2012 already finished, I like your sink and cupboard area I don't have a sink and water tank area yet.Great job all the way around amazing job.
This vid just popped up in my recommended. Bro this build is dope af. I'm currently in buying negotiations on an Econoline. Definitely will get me some Generals if this deal goes through. Thanks for all the detailed info
This is the best layout and design I’ve seen. So clean and simple, yet covers all the bases with comfort and ease. Totally livable! Only thing I could think to add is the possibility of a hanging bar across the back if people wanted to hang clothes for wear or just to dry. But overall this is TOP NOTCH!
I dig the Long Drawer... the retractable Lid was a Game Changer! I just bought a '10 e250 and...well, here I am, so...ya. However I still need it to be a Work Van, so my Build has to basically be a Tool Box that I can Sleep in. GOOD JOB with the Solar,
Thank you! Yeah I spent quite a bit of time running wires and used about a million zip ties! Lol. Very happy on the outcome and thanks again for the compliment:)
Finally someone who built a Van the way I have been envisioning it... keeping the OEM headliner and HVAC system. Its a fee years old but thank you so much for sharing!. I literally just picked up my 2014 E350 (12 pax) van today.
We have an E-350 custom van, I think I’ve watched every build video for these vans there is, this is the best layout and build quality ive come across when boiled down, really great. I’m excited to see how this build propels your drawer system into the marketplace!
Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost the login password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Davian Joseph I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
One of the few conversion vans that left the rear heating and cooling vents💪..i have that idea... because most get rid of it.. when i see alot of use with it too...
You might add a folding cutting board that folds up against the electrical area to avoid splashes. The backside of the cutting board could be a mirror to open the space up even more. So electronics covered = mirror showing, electronics not covered = cutting board down in use. Superb work
Sure wish we could hear the stereo! The super quiet Teflon drawer runners were the icing on the cake. You thought of everything including that bar! Whoa!
No point in repeating all the good comments below. Clearly you have done an awesome build. As someone in the entertainment business who has worked with many "Hollywood" celebrities, I must say you are a great personality. Natural! Do more videos, you have a real talent for on-camera work. I see you as another Mike Rowe (Dirty jobs) and of course a real craftsman. Thanks!
Agreed. Thank you for the nice comments! I’m working on the next video now and planning on several more covering the new van build I’m currently working on. Very humbled that so many people have watched and commented (mostly positive) on this video that it has definitely inspired me to take it seriously :)
With the way things are going, you may be very busy building these vans for the younger generation who will have to call it the American dream home on wheels ownership. Originality and ingenuity makes this the top stealth mobile home.
Everything was designed to stay put while driving with the idea that it might be taken off-road....the last thing you want is stuff flying all over the place! 😂
Wow what a nice job. Neat,clean, very functional . Have you ever thought about putting a 12 volt air compressor in. And the van looks low enough to put a suv tent off the back . A really nice job.
@@drawersystemsThat's a good idea. Open container laws and "in control of the vehicle " laws could really mess your buyer's day or night up. Looks great!
The bar on the doors are a work of art! Wow! What craftsmanship. Although, I would keep those bottles shaded from sunlight and cops. Your vehicle may still be considered a car by cops and you cannot have open alcohol bottles in cars only RVs. Be careful. 6:24 - What kind of paint did you use on this cabinet? Looks like a bed liner paint. Clever little hidden toilet, very nice. Great long garage drawer for skis and poles - fabulous! Wonderful build. Lucky owner! Thanks for the tour. I really liked the cabinets and wood accents!!
@@drawersystems I wondered if it was a bed liner paint. There is another one called Durabak which is more flexible as its a Polyurethane with a longer working time, very flexible so it won't chip off with vibrations, and no sprayer needed, goes on with mohair roller brush. It uses Xylene as a reducer/ solvent/ prep. Only issue is that it comes in standard colors not tint-able with auto tints. I think these bedliner paints are wonderful for hardness and rough usage, they don't chip or scratch easily. Looks really great on your cabinets!
This was a freaking amazing build. Very impressive. My first vid I've watched on your channel, and I'm a new sub now. Talk about stealth. If this is your first build, wow.
Thank you so much!!! Yes first full build...I’ve been building drawer systems as a hobby for the past few years and have dabbled in electrical stuff since I was a kid. This was the full deal and excited for the positive feedback! Stay tuned for sure...just picked up a Ram Promaster today and the new build is starting now.😉
@@drawersystems subbed when I heard that. Nice job! How does the suspension do on the 350 with that much weight? My 150 was squatty so I added 990 helper springs, which gave an inch, but I'm not convinced it was the right route.
There was no issue at all with weight. Since this was originally a passenger van, I removed 3 rows of seats which I’m 99% positive weighed more than everything I built and installed. I’m also pretty sure the E350 has a beefier suspension than a 150 or 250. Anyone else know for sure? Either way, no squat and no drive difference once I finished everything up. 😊
@@drawersystems i think you're right on suspension. The bigger stacks looked like they had another leaf. I was too cheap to spring $600 for a new pack though.
Really nice build, video and description. You probably discovered by now (as did almost every e-series owner) - heat only comes out in the lower vents on the drivers side floor and air conditioning only comes out in those ceiling vents. It actually works pretty good like that since heat rises and cool air sinks.
You did an AMAZING job! I'm doing some finishing touches on my DIY Ford E-250 Extended Cargo. Not nearly as beautiful as yours but I love it! Heading to Florida in a couple weeks! So excited! If you can't tell...again, bravo 👏 👏 👏
It is the best design I have seen, simple clean I have the same van and I will follow your example. Thank you, I am Carlos, you will hardly read all the comments but your video is one of the best in that line.
pretty cool. i bet that took an insane amount of work. Lots of great ideas. I couldnt handle those windows tho, i would want them 100% covered. Makes it feel like your hanging out inside a van instead of a home like space.
thanks, yeah I put a lot of hours into that build. Agreed on the windows especially after doing a few vans now....the less windows the better. starting with a commercial van with no windows is ideal as you can always add them during the build.
Hello :)- Kudos to you and your efforts for such a wonderful build!!!! I am in the process of moving my life in a new direction with van life as I have been renting my entire life and finally decided to give up my apartment. put all of my belongings in storage and I am now temporarily living in a weekly motel. I am preparing myself for the whole vanlife experience!! :)-
I didn't believe you when you said you have the best van but after seeing this clip I agree. Let me know if you decide to sell hahaha! Enjoyed the vid!
Congratulations! One of the best conversion van floor plans I have seen on TH-cam, love the storage drawer for fishing, skiing and more. You certainly made use of every available space in the right way. Gracias.
👍Terrific. Thanks for sharing. 💝 While I do LOVE the bar idea....I wonder if policing officers would have an issue with the bar and opened alcohol in the vehicle.😩
The bar is definitely designed to only be used at camp and I am highly against drinking and driving. With that said, as long as you aren't drinking and driving, it should not be a problem. The bar is not accessible (can't reach it) by either the driver or passenger from the front seats.
If I was younger and more flexible this would be awesome. great layout and craftsmanship! I have a tall E250 wheelchair modified van for my son that doubles as a weekend camping set up and I may borrow some of your excellent ideas and features. Well done!!
I am so impressed with your abilities. And stunning use of such a small space. Looking forward to the Ram Promaster build as that's what I am working on. Definitely subscribed. Thanks for sharing
I loved the look of everything, so neat and tidy apart from that wall of black switches above the kitchen surface. The hidden cubby above the fridge was a lovely touch.
Thank you! Yeah it took me a while to figure out how to tie in the fridge with the couch and make it all work...agreed the cubby was a great last minute feature!
Thanks! Yeah completely understand...it was tight for me during the build but overall think it's quite functional despite the van being vertically challenged. :)
Thank you Bruno! Honestly without TH-cam and other van builders, mine wouldn't have been possible. Happy it came out the way it did and you enjoyed it! Cheers :)
I have watched many conversion videos and this is by far the best thought out. I like that the sink is near the door for ease of filling/emptying. Most have it on the other side of the van. This makes much more sense! Swivel captain's chair was also genius.
@@drott150 Joe Blow charging himself 14k for his own labor lmao I love the internet and all the weird people who just want to be RIGHT even if it means embarrassing themselves.
@@drott150 "Inflation skyrocketing the price of everything" Wow, you know nothing about the economy. "the vast majority of people out there do not have the skills or tools to build a van of this caliber" No one does. Until they learn... via apprenticeship, TH-cam, etc. This was also unrelated to the argument as we're commenting on what Dave said, not the OP. You're merely attempting to deflect because you're incorrect. "I've created similar vans. Total cost, not including van, would be roughly $6,000 unless you spent frugally and repurposed materials." He literally said "I've created", meaning he did the labor, and "Not including van", meaning not including the van price. Which would mean 6k for the build. I love the internet and the pseudointellectuals embarrassing themselves again and again. Please, keep at it. I'm enjoying this.
This is like walking into Dr Who's spaceship. Telephone booth stealth look outside but wow factor inside! 6:25 & 13:00 - Is that bedliner paint like Durabak on the kitchen cabinet? Looks very nice textured like that. Superb layout and execution. Clean, functional, love that bank of drawers, and even a toilet! Bravo! I'd add a magnetic cover to that little bar though. This is still considered a vehicle not RV and you have open bottles of alcohol visible to the public! Also not good to get hot sun on your wines. Insulated fabric sleeve with Reflectix inside, with strong donut magnets sewn in on edges, and metal strips on all sides of that bar face.
I love this build. The kitchen is almost exactly what I was planning for my build, so it was really nice to see it done and see how well it functions in the van. Thank you!
Slick!!!!! That's a beautiful job. Love the fact that the van is stealthy and doesn't look like a camper. Plus I love the drawer for fishing poles and or ski's. That's awesome. Super, super, super job. Looks amazing.
Like yourself I am 6'2" as well.. and I've been wanting to do a build but I can't sleep sideways like many vans show the sleeping arrangement. This is perfect... And I noticed that you can sleep a couple of people very comfortably. Thank you!
Awesome, glad you liked it and thanks for watching! PS, love your handle, you'll get a kick out of my next project...hoping to start the new series "Cyborg" this week!
similar to Foresty Forests new build, but a lot more polished finish!! very cool! Ive been living in a minivan for 18 months and looking around for ideas for my new build. thanks for the tips!
Awesome, thanks! I've been following Foresty for a while and can't believe he was able to build his van, inside out, in the winter in Canada! Unreal what he was able to do!
Nice cabinetry and wiring. I don't know how many of these I've watched and the wiring is a cluster with no breakers or fuses. They use wiring nuts for connectors (gasp). If that stuff isn't secure it's all going to come undone as they bounce and vibrate down the road. Something can ground out and a fire can easily start. Well done on yours!
Wow this is a piece of art. I might have to come to you for my next vehicle
Thank you 🙌
You had me at the bar.
You build for clients? Where are you located? When I get funds to put my plan in motion, you're my creator, please sir.
@@robgindcany response? Are you stealthing?
This is most simply designed yet most functional and cleanest build I’ve ever seen. Would absolutely LOVE this exact setup.
Thank you very much!!!
Some people just have a great ability to make quality custom things... something I lack ... good job
Thanks David! Honestly with anything it takes practice...I'm a much better builder now than I was a few years ago.
WelL....when Your Re; 😮Ready To Take On a 98 CLass A 😂Let me know it Be a CoupLe Years Lol
The intelligent design is beautifully executed. No space wasted, all functional and ergonomic. Very, very impressive.
Thank you!
I put a hot tub in mine I just having trouble with the pool table and helicopter landing pad
Hahahaha

Don't forget the Operating Theatre-and a cemetery in case the surgery didn't go well.

@@drawersystems t t
Great job...the ski drawer is really amazing and quite unique. Add the Sportsmobile pop top and that van will be next level.

Hmm.... Simple, not over the top, no fluff, and functional? I'm sold.
Cheers!
Thanks!
wow. one of the best, non hipster, buildouts Ive seen. impressive
Hahaha, thank you! Definitely not a hipster over here...not that there is anything wrong with it. #seinfeld 🤣
Love this...so envious
It has a bar lmao. How is this not hipster?
non hipster lol

This is the best van build I’ve seen
Thank you so much!!!!

Thanks!!! Glad you like the build and walk around. Good luck on yours!
I COULD NOT EVEN TELL YOU PUT 3 SOLAR PANELS up there🤯
Great job . I’d add some drop down legs for the slide out drawer in the back.
thanks! you could add them but it honestly didn't need it the way i built it.
This is the best layout and design I’ve seen. So clean and simple, yet covers all the bases with comfort and ease. Totally livable! Only thing I could think to add is the possibility of a hanging bar across the back if people wanted to hang clothes for wear or just to dry. But overall this is TOP NOTCH!

Thanks Robert!
The power setup is really impressive. You can see the build quality and time/care that it took. Everything is awesome honestly!

One of the few conversion vans that left the rear heating and cooling vents💪..i have that idea... because most get rid of it.. when i see alot of use with it too...
yeah I thought it would be crazy to not utilize the rear AC and heat...it was a pain to figure out but well worth it imo.
@@drawersystems yeah.. you say a pain.... I haven't started the take down process yet but will do when i get a chance... but what was so bad
Wow.... totally brilliant. Doesn't get any more perfect than this.
Thank you!!!!!!
I enjoyed this video of your van. This is something I could stay in. A true 🏠 on wheels!
Thanks Jeanne!
This has to be my fave van buildout. Super functional, crisp, clean, and minimalist.
Awesome, thank you!
the bar is unique👍👏. very cool build. good luck
Thank you!
I have seen many of these van conversations this looks great just like you said clean and practical. Great job!
Thanks!!!
The fancy bar doubles as map storage. Genius.
Love it!
You might add a folding cutting board that folds up against the electrical area to avoid splashes. The backside of the cutting board could be a mirror to open the space up even more. So electronics covered = mirror showing, electronics not covered = cutting board down in use.
Superb work
...RESPEKT... Best van conversion I've ever come across. Much inspiration in this lil snippett.
Thank you!
The best part is definitely the garage drawer, thanks for sharing, it’s amazing!
Thank you!
Sure wish we could hear the stereo! The super quiet Teflon drawer runners were the icing on the cake. You thought of everything including that bar! Whoa!
Haha, the stereo sounds good but isn't anything crazy...I had fun wiring it up though! 🍻
Best camper van layout. Clean and very functional.

Truly AMAZING - and the ski-drawer at the end? Incredible.
Thank you!
I don't even fish, but I would NEED this drawer lolololol
Nice video and nice stable shots of your work; not jumping around all-over. I just love that bar...now you got me thinking!...
Thank you and good look with your build/thoughts! 🙌
One underrated part of this build is line of sight to the windows. It's a huge relief to have less blind spots while driving/parking 👍
In a similar vein, this model has very few projectiles that will clobber you when braking or crashing! If you know you know 😬
Indeed!
Everything was designed to stay put while driving with the idea that it might be taken off-road....the last thing you want is stuff flying all over the place! 😂
Wow what a nice job. Neat,clean, very functional . Have you ever thought about putting a 12 volt air compressor in. And the van looks low enough to put a suv tent off the back . A really nice job.
Thanks Tom! I love onboard air...I have an ARB installed in my Land Rover. Will definitely think about it for the next build cheers 🍻
"Pretty sure this hanging thing is called a hook..." LOL!!!
FANTASTIC WORKMANSHIP!!! (and videography!)
Hahaha! I was wondering when someone was going to comment on that! Thank you for the comment and watching...new video coming soon :) 🙏
Amazing build. I would add a cover to hide the bar from kids, cops and prudes, maybe another folding out table as the cover.
Oh, the electrical is awesome looking, it's just missing the flux capacitor 😆
Hahaha, thanks!
Maybe on the next build I'll add a secret door that reveals the bar 😂
@@drawersystemsThat's a good idea. Open container laws and "in control of the vehicle " laws could really mess your buyer's day or night up.

If you change your faucet to a pull out spray nozzle you can use it to rinse off outside.
That’s a great idea! I had the faucet leftover from another project so didn’t even think about another option...maybe on the next build ;)
Stunning! Well thought out and beautifully built!💯
Just wanted to say I really liked your conversion. Excellent job and details. Really appreciated the links provided as well.
Thankyou!
Awesome, thank you!
✌🏾, Awesome, love the simplicity & practicality with all the features, I want one.🤓
I have been looking at vans to convert one in a stealth camper van. Great job on the build.
Thank you! Good luck on your search!
Excellent craftsmanship! Can you share the cost of the entire build, including the van?
Commenting for if he gives the cost so I get a notification
yea....
I've created similar vans. Total cost, not including van, would be roughly $6,000 unless you spent frugally and repurposed materials.
@@drott150 Joe Blow charging himself 14k for his own labor lmao I love the internet and all the weird people who just want to be RIGHT even if it means embarrassing themselves.
@@drott150 "Inflation skyrocketing the price of everything"
Wow, you know nothing about the economy.
"the vast majority of people out there do not have the skills or tools to build a van of this caliber"
No one does. Until they learn... via apprenticeship, TH-cam, etc. This was also unrelated to the argument as we're commenting on what Dave said, not the OP. You're merely attempting to deflect because you're incorrect.
"I've created similar vans. Total cost, not including van, would be roughly $6,000 unless you spent frugally and repurposed materials."
He literally said "I've created", meaning he did the labor, and "Not including van", meaning not including the van price. Which would mean 6k for the build.
I love the internet and the pseudointellectuals embarrassing themselves again and again. Please, keep at it. I'm enjoying this.
This is like walking into Dr Who's spaceship. Telephone booth stealth look outside but wow factor inside!
6:25 & 13:00 - Is that bedliner paint like Durabak on the kitchen cabinet? Looks very nice textured like that.
Superb layout and execution. Clean, functional, love that bank of drawers, and even a toilet! Bravo!
I'd add a magnetic cover to that little bar though. This is still considered a vehicle not RV and you have open bottles of alcohol visible to the public! Also not good to get hot sun on your wines. Insulated fabric sleeve with Reflectix inside, with strong donut magnets sewn in on edges, and metal strips on all sides of that bar face.
Haha, thanks! Yes all the cabinets are painted with at least 2 coats of Raptor Liner....I use it in all my drawer builds. :)
Beautiful work and great ideas ❤️ Cheers from Norway 🇳🇴
Thank you! 🍻
Great job. Just bought another bare bones E350 XL. Looking for some inspiration. Found some here. Thanks
I love this build. The kitchen is almost exactly what I was planning for my build, so it was really nice to see it done and see how well it functions in the van. Thank you!
Utterly amazing! We have a 1985 E250 3/4 ton van that I so want my husband to do this to.
Thanks Cindy!
Gorgeous! Serious craftsmanship and an ingenious built. Very impressive, and perfect for ski or desert trips. Wow 😃
Man, this is cool! Love that drawer fridge/freezer!
🙌
Very impressive! I subscribed! Wishing you all the best with your business! 👍🏻💡💥
Thanks Rose!
Slick!!!!! That's a beautiful job. Love the fact that the van is stealthy and doesn't look like a camper. Plus I love the drawer for fishing poles and or ski's. That's awesome. Super, super, super job. Looks amazing.
Thanks, thanks, thanks!!! 😃
Like yourself I am 6'2" as well.. and I've been wanting to do a build but I can't sleep sideways like many vans show the sleeping arrangement. This is perfect... And I noticed that you can sleep a couple of people very comfortably. Thank you!
Awesome, glad you liked it and thanks for watching! PS, love your handle, you'll get a kick out of my next project...hoping to start the new series "Cyborg" this week!
similar to Foresty Forests new build, but a lot more polished finish!! very cool!
Ive been living in a minivan for 18 months and looking around for ideas for my new build. thanks for the tips!
Awesome, thanks! I've been following Foresty for a while and can't believe he was able to build his van, inside out, in the winter in Canada! Unreal what he was able to do!
You've thought of everything then shared the details with us. One of the most informative videos on a van build AND it turned out really nice. Thanks.
Thanks Carol, glad you liked it!!!!
I love how proud he was of this van and he should be its great design!
Thanks Ana, that's my personality...I tend to get pumped up and excited about things! Lol 🍻
Charactor Club keep doing you dude never change🤟🏼
Everything is so tidy! Incredible attention to detail. I also appreciate you sharing links to the parts you used for the build.
Thanks Travis and my pleasure...hope to inspire others like so many have shared with me 🙌
I do it too :)
Nice cabinetry and wiring. I don't know how many of these I've watched and the wiring is a cluster with no breakers or fuses. They use wiring nuts for connectors (gasp). If that stuff isn't secure it's all going to come undone as they bounce and vibrate down the road. Something can ground out and a fire can easily start. Well done on yours!
Chrome from VanCity VanLife has a large pull out drawer in his extended length e250 van. You can lay down on it.
He has a fantastic van and a big fan of his channel! Chrome, if you're reading this, my hat's off to you!
Functional art in every corner. Fit and finish is amazing
Thank you!
