How big is your gray tank and where is it located? Getting ready to help my son do his first van build and we are looking at a set up similar to yours. Great build. Nice quality in the work.
It’s shown in this video, it’s 9 gallons Missing Parts of Van Tour // UNDERBELLY OF THE BEAST! th-cam.com/video/PMH7zhwbs-4/w-d-xo.html
Vl
Trent, have a question if the gray water is 9 and the drinking water is 33 gallons as you mentioned in another video, so you just drain out the shower water o what? shouldn´t you have a larger gray tank that drinking water??
Just Reggie Warner
@@TrentandAllie yikes. Guess you guys are draining straight down to ground mostly? I mean 8 don't really know much and am just learning but it seemed oddly small. I do think the van is absolutely brilliant.
Clearly the best van conversion I’ve seen. This covers all my needs for sure. Great job! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
one of the best builds I've seen!! Great layout and really thoughtful design. I am happy you showed your safety equipment very few videos stress the safety
This is one of the best van builds I have seen. keep up the good work, love the Video.
Dozens of watched builds and drawings made. Boom.....this is the layout. Thanks...now I will get busy. Promaster 3500 also and ready to rock it out.👍👍👍👍
I love this van. My favorite that I have seen. I want this one.
Thank you Diane!! We are so glad you like it :)
Safety tip: add locking mechanism on the inside of all your doors that you can lock while sleeping. If they get past your door lock, they still can't get in.
That's a great idea!
That's the second build but they still carry varius size pans..... Nonsense.... Even the dog is bored!!!
I am really surprised that people show the outside of their van when they are distinctive and thus easy to identify and target.
@@pacoporras8726 well it seems that only having built 2 vans they are Experienced hahah
Is this really a problem?!?!
Good for you guys! Truly inspiring. I’ve been planning my first van build for a while. Still haven’t finished the plans yet but your guys’ video gives me lots of ideas. Enjoy van life!
That pull out table is such a unique and clever feature.
Looking back... Trent's hair is hilariously awesome.
Merry X-mas
I think you have the best van layout
Thank you 😊
Love it! Great Job!
Thank you so much 😊
I will check out your blogs and will check in with you sometime. This is the life that I want, I'm tired of being a slave to the home system bills and taxes.
GlobalProvenResults amen to that!! Good luck to you 😊
Very impressive build and living the dream, congratulations!
😊
I really enjoyed watching your video. Thanks
so nice, I know this is ofcourse mentioned somewhere along the way, but you have a TON of video's, so curious, what platform van is this on? It seems really spacious and wider than all the other builds I've seen....
You have to see the haircut of Trent in this video... Trent you have a better hairdresser now a days :) :) :) Like all video's and follow you both for couple of year now. I was just wandering to vanbuilds on TH-cam, and came along this one... :) :) Love it! No hair out of square here :P
I am guessing you can't go through an automatic carwash with solar panels and your internet booster, right? But don't you have to keep washing your solar panels to keep the dust off so that they work well?
Van Tours: I would LOVE if instead of folks showing what is in every single drawer in the van they'd mention dimensions. How big are those drawers, what is the dimensions of the shower, how wide is the aisle, etc. Also, beautiful van.
Www.trentandallievan.com/how-to-build-a-van
All your questions are answered here 😇
I was talking about van tours in general (of which I've watched many) and what I'd personally find more interesting than the contents of drawers and cupboards. I'm fascinated by how people fit so much into such a small space and how they do it.
I am thinking about starting my first build soon. Do you guys mind sharing the price for the stock van, and then how much it cost to convert? Ive got about 30k saved up so far and cant wait to get started.
i liked the video bcoz frank said so :D
Why did you choose porta potty out of all the toilet options?
WHERE YOU BOUGHT YOUR OVEN???? AND WHAT IS THE BRAND????
I enjoyed the beard too.
You get my LIKE
And and SUBSCRIBED
LETTTTTT GOOOOO
FRANK GEEEEZZZZZ
YOU GOT IT
😂🤣😂😇💜🌸🎶🌻🌞
with that filter, could you drink your grey water?
Trent plz stop slapping your legs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
stationary bed, oven, shower and toilet!??! HOT WATER?!?!!??...you've just changed my van life dreams. I plan to one day steal this exact setup!
More than glad to help you design your dream and I hope you steal our set up one day!!! We also hope you enjoy it as much as we do!! Stick around and join our community and check out our future travels!!!
Just be careful that it doesn't have a GPS tracker when you steal it, otherwise you might have a pork-chopper buzzing overhead.
@@MrJBA79 Was that comment necessary? smh
@@msw170 Was your reply to my comment necessary?
Look, every time we comment, like/dislike or share any of this content.. it all aids their channel. It's all in good fun.. try not to get bent out of shape about anything online. You'll live happier and hopefully longer life.
Ms Wonderfulgem, pretty sure it was just levity. A joke. Lighthearted comment intended to entertain. I remember when we humans used to employ that conversation tool all the time. We laughed a lot more then. It was refreshing.
Sorry mom but if they ask me to get in there van, I’m goin
Hey There Stranger Me too!! Hahahaha! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Truck cabins conversions
Im a truck driver, and i like to watch these videos for fun, but in all honesty, you need to go to truck manufacturers and help them design the inside of these trucks. Every truck driver alive would thank you profusely.
Better of trying to get a new job, the truck drivers will be out of there jobs when the self driving AI takes over.
@@wanashthegash No, we will not be. I dont really want to get into the specifics of it(i'm honestly tired of arguing about this with people who are ignorant to this job world) just know, that I, as an experienced truck driver, do know better than the average Joe wheather or not we should be "scared" of losing our jobs to "AI". And we should not be. Here is a short semi-informational video for you to watch. He hits on a few reasons of why this isnt an issue.
facebook.com/GlennBeck/videos/483502655762316/
Nikkiye Dettle Yeah? I listened to what Beck said, but I didn't hear him explain how truck driving as a profession is somehow safe from autonomy.
He explained how vital the trucking industry is to pretty much every other industry and all retail. He explained how there's currently a shortage of drivers.
But when true autonomy finally gets here it's going to first take all those jobs that can't be filled, then gradually all the other driving jobs as well, as trucks are replaced or retrofitted for autonomy.
A lot of delivery truck drivers will be able to keep their jobs because the job involves unloading and delivering goods, and sometimes even stocking shelves as well as just driving. Movers will still have their jobs because most of their work is moving furniture in and out of the truck. But any job that just involves driving is likely to eventually go away.
BTW: Beck says something stupid when he says grocery stores are restocked 8 times per day. Grocery stores may receive on average about 8 deliveries per day, but none of them are complete restocking shipments. No one item in the store is restocked more than once per day. Your milk delivery comes on a different truck from your Frito Lay snacks, and the Coke delivery comes in the different truck from your Pepsi products. Your breads are stocked by a different truck than your meats and vegetables and canned goods.
@@dlwatib - In the UK many roads are narrow single track lanes/roads which require reversing back to a passing spot, awkward entrances which require special maneuvers and getting out of the cab or asking another person to spot for you with parked cars preventing the maneuver etc. AI is nowhere near capable of dealing with these situations and would cause gridlock or accidents. Don't believe all the hype.
Nikkiye Dettle I’m an iso tank dispatcher... You ain’t never lied my drivers would totally agree.
thank you for not putting annoying music in the background.

Here's an old Navy/USMC trick for clothing storage. Instead of "folding" clothes up, roll them into tubes, you'll find you can get nearly twice as much into the same space as you can if you flat fold your clothes.
Who’s here in 2020? What the hell happened to trents hair?
James. Totally WHAT ??????
YES! Ha ha! I started watching a couple of months ago. Seeing this video from 2 years ago with Trent in long hair is quite a shock. He looks so much younger. Very hippie looking. :-)
His whole demeanor is different too. It's like watching a whole different person.
Wow thats the coolest Van conversion ive seen yet. I subbed too
I can honestly say that this is by far the most awesome van I have ever seen. I would live in it today if I had one. You did an amazing job and give hope that you don't have to live in a make shift environment but can really customize your living space in a way that you are not without comfort.
Thank you Su that’s so nice of you
@@TrentandAllie are you guys planning on kids soon, 6 should be cosy 🤣 *jokes
🚲 Happy travels 🚐
Exactly what I was thinking
You should make the countertop over the stove slide on tracks to the right instead of flipping up, that way you can still use it while cooking ! cool van though...
Thanks moose!! I wanted to try and do that but we couldn’t do it in a way that made it functional and durable. We do have another piece of counter top that goes over the bench to the right of the stove though so we can use that area to prep while cooking
TNT MTB yeah, most of the sliding track in local stores is junk. They sell the industrial type which is made for this but you have to order it. I used it on the slide out pantry shelves in my bus, it can hold over 100lbs. Your sprinter is one of the nicer ones I've seen, enjoy it ! Good luck !
Or, you can just use the pull-out-table to the right i guess :D
This video shows our solution :) th-cam.com/video/hCT7iv7cQU4/w-d-xo.html
On top of that, it’s also hiding the spice rack as you cook.

The dog is like wtf I’m trying to sleep😂
We just watched this on a Roku TV. I was so taken with the Incredible job you did I got on my phone just so I could comment. We're fulltimers in a class A and this is every bit as functional, beautiful & classy as any motorhome. You've far surpassed any van build I've ever seen. The two of you should be very proud of yourselves. Kudos👍🏻
Thank you so much Nancy! That really means a lot and we’re so glad to have you as part of our community. We hope you come along for more of our adventures.
Ok. My wife and I are empty nesters (55 yrs old) and you two are probably younger than our 2 adult sons, which puts us a least a generation in front of you. But, with a few changes here and there to your van build, I would say, it is one of the best camper van builds we have seen yet for my wife and I. I mention the generation difference because your design would work just as well for us old farts as it does for you young adults. Even the dog is accommodated! I would say the design uses available space efficiently and elegantly. No unnecessary frills but plenty of functionality and it's comfortable! We are very impressed. Awesome! Thank you for sharing.

Small camp trailer
This is one of, if not, the best van build I've seen to date! Great job! Great use of space!
I agree Reynard
Reynard Mauricio Sara & Alex , the y are building a new van, its awesome, take a look
Thank you Reynard!! That puts smiles on our faces :)
Excellent!
Wow. Just wow. Great couple. Excellent tour and reno. Looking forward to more. Liked, subscribed, and belled. 😊
This is the best van conversion I have ever seen. Hands Down. I have to share it with my other youtubers. You guys forgot nothing and kept every detail in mind.
Thanks K M!! That’s such a nice comment to receive. Thank you
Agree with Desert Pepper comment, best build I seen for a van.
Allie, you are so correct on being realist on having books to air out clothes for a 2 or 3 time use.
I highly recommend you check out cycle cruza's van it been voted the best van (with out a built in shower)
I agree. I watch many vids on these conversions and so far this is the best one for this size van. Love it!
That van is gorgeous...! Great job guys. The best van I have seen I think. Right up there. Mad skills!
Thanks!! We tried to make it to the best we had ever seen!
Could you say what color the blue paint is? You did a superb job on the build.
Japhill
it's called skinny jeans. It's behr marquee paint semi gloss
I've never seen a better one, and I've been looking! Awesome job and inspiring guys.
Wow! I am a 62 yr old women and I have been viewing a lot of van conversions to see what I want mine to look like. However out of a ton of van videos this was the absolute best!! Exactly what I would do. I saved your video to refer to. Great job guys and one last thing.. good video of everything you did. PS... I love your dog!
Good luck with your project!
That's what I was thinking!
Stop thinking about it,just do it..fear nothing...all you got at the end of life,is just your memories.
Finally! An indoor shower and toilet, love it. Wonderful design overall! Omg a laundry chute? Brilliant! Also love the li'l doggy!
Where was the toilet? Did I miss it?
@@quantessenz its right at the beginning of the video
This is actually the best layout and build I've seen on any Van. I love that you have a toilet/shower in a 19.6' Van, the same length as the Sprinter 144" I believe. Any reason why you chose the ProMaster over the Sprinter? This really is a masterpiece. Well done!
Thank you so much Johnny for your kind words. It came down to cost, reliability and easy of repairs. Sprinters cost too much upfront and are too expensive to fix, plus they break down a lot haha
I think you just swayed me from wanting to get a Sprinter to wanting a ProMaster. Thanks!
Glad to help :)
my promaster gets 19.5 mpg
Good for you. The Sprinter is toooo expensive. Your setup looks 10× better than ANY Sprinter (or anything else) that I have ever seen.
I would've gone with slides for the wood panel that goes over the stove. Slide that to the side so you still have a counter while using the stove as well as not blocking the spice rack.
Herman S great idea! I like that. I also thought that something fireproof on the backside of the counter. I have to start an idea book with these great ideas I come across. Not that I’m going to have anything this fab. But you never know.
Exactly!
I thought the same thing!
I also thought the same thing. They could have still used it as a working counter top.
I was thinking the same thing
That large slide out table that comes from right under the matress between the two facing seats is genius. That was a definite 'wow' moment when you slid that out. Great design.
The other wow moment was when he brought out that hanging drawer and shelf unit from the shower and hooked it to the shelf.
I'd say another wow was showing how the bikes fit in the garage (along with all the other equipment).
Very nice work. You might consider on your next build to round off all the corners with a router. I once got a serious cut on the edge of a cabinet when I was in the back of our class C RV and she had to hit the brakes unexpectedly. It required a hospital visit. Also, catalytic heaters use considerably less fuel than forced air heating. You can get a version that uses outside air for burning and venting so they are totally safe. One last thing. Everywhere hot water is used in our RV, I installed a three-way valve, temperature gauge and a line to run water back to the main water tank so that while the water is coming up to temp it is flowing back to the main tank and not into the waste tank. I installed the three way valve right next to the shower head so when showering, the water coming out of the shower head is always the perfect temp with no water waste. We were able to extend our wilderness stays by a few days with the water saved. Once again, really nice work.
thanks! these are great tips we'll consider for next time!
the three-way valve idea is simply genius
Posted by Lidia:
Just a van, yet it feels like a small apartment in NYC, incredibly well designed great use of technology...Wish I could buy one just like it tomorrow...Great job, ENJOY!!!
Probably the best most efficient use of space of a van I have ever seen.
This video is useful a lot! I am building the campervan in S.Korea :)
That's so neat that the video has reached all the way to S Korea!! So glad the video has helped you. If you subscribe there will be more helpful videos in the future!! Thanks for watching!!!
Excellent Job You can build these and Sell them. It’s just about perfect 👌 The Camping ⛺️ Van Conversation Companies don’t live in them and tend to miss things that full timers need. No kidding.
This is true!! I wish I could clone myself so I could enjoy my camper and build them at the same time
Kathy Fann agreed - if you’re open to new ways of making a living, looks like you could make some dough from converting vans for people...
ditto. This is the first van conversion I've seen for people who are especially outdoor active/gear intensive, and who like to cook; not to mention also having a dog.
Yeah this would have been great when I was 18 to 23 years old. I could of bought one of these as a starter home & just park on my parents land. Still be at home just in my own space.
@@TrentandAllie SHIT dude you can make millions...
Train a few ppl and whatnot
You might wanna move that axe man. That's right about ready to cause some damage in an accident.
BonyBack Bailey that was my first thought lookin at it 😦
Might want to move the axe and place the 12 gauge shotgun there.
All these van guys have hot girlfriends im buying a van
Domenic Brangiforte 😂😂
Domenic Brangiforte looks like I have to tag-along with you.
If you think all you have to do is have a nice van to get a hot girlfriend you have more problems than not having a girlfriend. Be a nicer person and figure out how you can be loving and you won't have a problem having a girlfriend.
@Merketroid she looks like a wonderful person, unlike you seem to be from your comment.
@@myrahunter131 yup she is hot. Not only for her looks but she seems responsible, fun, and out going.
I love how down to Earth you both are. Excellent production value. Beautiful build. Thanks for sharing. ( :
Thank you 😊
I’ve seen over 100 van conversations, and by far yours knocks it out of the park! Amazing, I’m retiring in two years and once I sell the house I’m hitting the road! To live the Van life 😎Thank you for sharing your talent ❤️
Dude, so freaking good!!! That intro was so dope! Stoked to follow the adventure!
Coming from a pro like you that means a lot!! Thanks David!
I must say most efficient van ive seen so far since im becoming a van life expert in this quarantine 🧐 very nice.
Looks great ....However you should have lined the underside of the lift up countertop over the cooker with stainless steel ...to stop the heat on the wood ........
Selsey Man thought the same thing.
Was looking for this comment. This is mega fire hazard.
Just wondering if there was a way to have the stove cutting board prep area swing out to your right of the stove so you gain a prep area to your right without covering your spice rack?
Looking Good. It's great to see young people with a good head on their shoulder that doesn't just buy everything; but instead Makes their own way in life.
I agree!! So many people today only buy nice things and never try to create what they want
....and after four or five years, this is still just about the best van build I've seen.....overtaken only by your new design at Mountain Made Vans. love you guys
Wow killer van build!! We just got a Airstream Westfalia so I’m here to see what other people have done with their vans. I’m so impressed with the brilliant use of space you guys have here! Happy van life 😃
Thank you!! So nice to see people appreciating our hard work :) thanks for watching
Best feature: the slide out table!!! Excellent idea!
Thanks Terry!! It seemed like the option that was gonna Work the best for us!! Thanks for watching 😊
Definitely spoke from experience of taking a dual shower. 🤔
Save water shower with a friend 😉
An ecofriendly guy. Save water, shower with a friend.
Personally, I would have installed some huge racks on Pamela Vanderson. Obviously those things don't come stock...
Get too big of a rack and it may bust a lug nut.
Be careful
Hats off to Jigawatt for the best comment ever
You guys are just wonderful and beautiful! Your dog is beautiful! Your van is beautifully and skillfully made!
The most compelling part of your van is that bathroom since I saw a lot of camper van videos and those doesn't have any. As you've said they have to shower outside which I think doesn't work always. Are there any step by step videos of the entire build?
I can only imagine what you guys can do with VW's ID Buzz (it's an e-vehicle and it's just a concept for now) or if you're given the opportunity (and perhaps resources) to design and build the actual body of the vehicle you're gonna use since I think (correct me if I'm wrong) your (and others) creativity is limited or restricted to what is offered by the vehicle's manufacturer.
Some things are limited by the body of the vehicle but you have to get creative haha!! So glad you like our build and us and frank haha! Your comment was very pleasing to read.
We do have some build videos but they aren’t very good. You can find them in our video history.
This was truly amazing. You've optimized every square inch, to your needs. Everything is in the details. The functionality and beauty of your build is stellar. Great job. Look forward to watching your adventures.
Glad to have you along for the adventures!! I hope you enjoy being part of the TNT community!! Also, thank you for your kind words. They really warm out hearts!!
The only thing I think I'd add is a strip of ceramic tile down the middle of your table so that you can set hot things and cups on it without damaging the beautiful table you have
This is the best looking and most thought out/ organized van I have ever seen! I am super impressed with what you two have done with this small space!
Thank you!! That means a lot :)
DAMN. I have seen nearly every van build youtube video. They all have terrible drawbacks. I have had a no compromises design idea in my head for the Promaster 159ext and really thought that once I started drawing it out, it wouldn't all fit. What you have built is extremely similar to what I have had in mind. You have outdone yourself. I would pay for a detailed build guide of this van. You are appreciated.
That’s such good news to hear that and I’d love to give you a detailed build guide but I didn’t use plans, I just built this van as it went along. Glad to give you hope for fitting all the necessities in your van build!
Planning to get a van next spring and convert it. I would be happy to pay for detailed plans and directions. Although I have seen some of your build videos lots of stuff has been skipped. I suggest to make small eBOOK and sell it. I'm sure there are tons of people willing to pay for your experience and ideas (I'm one of them). I watched your built videos of your first van and have to say you have skills and talent. You both are very nice couple and it is a pleasure to watch you. Waiting for ebook or some sort of guide. Great job!!! Best home Promaster build ever !
I would definitely pay for the plan! Its perfect!
Arthur Klisiewicz me too
INDEFINITELIFESPAN, be sure and add a vent for any propane appliances (stove, etc.) or your username will mean nothing! You know, Carbon Monoxide being deadly, and all (aka, the "silent killer").
Some think a little is okay, but who knows, maybe one day when a woman doesn't realize she is pregnant. Well, you get the picture.
Studies show it adds to cardiovascular disease at low levels.
~Peace
I'm impressed with the water pressure.
Wow, agree, this is the best use of space and probably the nicest van conversion I have seen. Great job, quite envious :)
Thanks Andrew!! So happy to see people enjoy our work!! Appreciate the comment too 😎
I watch van videos on the daily. I think Allie and Trent have the sickest van. If was to do the van life, it would be their set up.
Thanks Ted!! That means a lot
Yup .. I too love your van set up .. i can only dream of it :)
One of the best van lay outs I’ve seen. Retailers need to do it this way! Permanent bed. Nook dining. all great, great storage outside too!
So this is Shaggy's upgraded Mystery Mobile. Lol
Good job guys. Really an excellent use of space.
If only the toilet and shower were more like an RV. That would've been the complete package.
I have a notes document where I'm making a list of things I want... I was making so many notes, I just decided to put a link to your video... I just want your van haha.
We sell the layout guide too 😎🤘🏼
Me three. | Awesomeness. Thanks for sharing.
@@DannyBear70I just want to buy your van. I have no skills to build one!
Better than any company build I’ve seen. Nicely done.
Martha!! That is a truly touching comment! That makes us so happy to see that people think the build is good as we think it is. Thank you so much and we hope you join the community and come along for our future adventures!!
A laundry chute that goes to the back of the van? Okay, you. are. a. genius!
Thank you!!! I don't know about a genius but definitely tried to plan everything out ahead of time!!! Thanks for watching!
I love it all! But tbh the kitchen for the space to cook instead of elevating it would of been cool if you could just slide it to the side so your kitchen extend itself and also you don’t lose your meal prep space I don’t know I just thought of it whiled watching the video lol no hate just giving my ideas for more space :)
Or just use your table as a meal prep area :) since it’s really big and you have more space to cook whiled using your stove
Nice build and nice presenation, however 24V and 200W pannel + 24V and 200W pannel, will never give you 48V + 400W as you said. Im fairly sure you have 24V and 400W (or 48V and 200W)
Is that shaggy from scooby doo?
Richard Heit 🤣🤣🤣
Ha, no wonder I thought he looks familiar! ;D
Yes he is
No. Shaggy never had a sunburn.
No it’s Chucky. “Wanna playyyyyyy” lol
Now,,,,this is a van I could live in...
What a nice job you both did...
Thank you so much Sharon! We’re so happy you liked it!!!
What would’ve been so cool is if the counter over the stove could slide to the right over the sitting area to double as a counter while your cooking, plus it won’t cover the spice rack as your cooking in case you forget something (which I always do right in the middle of cooking🤦🏻♀️)
Was going to say the same thing myself.
ABSOLUTELY WHAT I THOUGHT AS WELL!!😃😉😁
But THE BEST VAN CONVERSION YET!!😉
You can NOT fit 2 people in that shower I call bs! 🤣 I think you couldve fit a bigger sink in there too! :) Also maybe have the countertop fold to the right instead of up above the stove so you can use it while using the stove would be a good idea! I mean that sliding table works too that was a great idea as well
I MEAN.. 3 burner stove, an oven that works, shower, fridge/freezer, thermostat?!?! amazing. Truuuly!
When he said you can fit 2 people I think he meant they have both used it at the same time if know what I mean.
You can if you’re ready to get comfortable 😂
if it opened to the right side? actually great idea to also not have to be open to the bed
You really should make this a side business...
If I didn't want to go out and explore and enjoy the summer I would!!
are you interested in doing this after the summer?
Ursula Bristow I'd pay for that
I like the flat dog on the bed while Trent was talking
Allie has cool hair. You guys built an amazing van. Both of you seem like really cool people
“ All of our silverware” : 3 spoons and a knife! Oh and a pair of scissors! I love it😂 just what you need eh? I,m SO jealous , I want it too!🥰💖xx
I love your van! ❤️ But I would have had the stove top slide to the right to have more cooking counter space, other than that... Awesome 👍 layout!
Monica Lara, my thoughts too. Where do you put things while you’re cooking? Maybe on the dining table? And spice cabinet is blocked when cooking. Otherwise brilliant layout and ideas.
The Japanese concept of a (Japanese) futon on a tatami mat would work really well on your bed frame. The futon can folded into a legless couch (like a number '6', more or less). You could just put a 1" cushion under a rug in that area to substitute for the extra cushioning you would get from a tatami mat. This way, you could sit next to each other and watch tv or eat. The Japanese would use a low legged table to eat here, which of course could be folded and hung on a wall. Eating could be done sitting 'Indian' style, or the Japanese use legless chairs at these low tables for back support, which, again, could be folded for storage. Plenty of youtube videos on these things.
For whatever it’s worth, my Dad was president of the Used Car Association for the state of Louisiana and was in New and Used Car business for sixty years. We bought and sold vehicles in numerous states. I say that to tell you, ya’ll have one of the best builds I have ever seen. As a family business we have owned thousands of vehicles. You two could market this build, file for a couple of patents, and sell your ideas to Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, Chrysler, Toyota, etc., or build custom vans and make a fortune. Please seriously consider it, make a sketch and file your ideas with U.S. Patent Office. Do some research. Legally protect your ideas first before presenting them. Congratulations on a first class build and video. Good luck and GOD bless !!!
That is quite the idea!! I’m so glad you liked it that much. We will put some thought into patenting our design! Thanks 😊
If you research a book at the library (maybe online) called the Thomas Register, they have companies listed from all over the U.S. and some foreign countries. Call some of them, most of the toll free numbers, and you can get some free samples of different materials or products you are interested in, or expanding on. It is a great source for also exchanging ideas and possibly getting more leads for more resources. Good luck.
Thank you!!
I started following you guys in early 2020 and the difference in quality of your videos now versus then (2018) is striking! I see the basis for the standards you were setting back then and it's been such a large improvement since. Allie has become the pro in production. Trent hasn't really changed that much and he's great at describing whatever he's pointing at!
… that depends on who’s listening I guess because I can’t listen to Trent for more than a few seconds, I’ve got adhd and listening to Trent is like torture, I love their videos but have to skip through when Trent talks as it’s too painful to listen to, it’s like he takes forever to get to a point or to say what he’s saying and it’s almost like he’s nodding off from heroin he’s going so slow but yeah, as would be expected, the quality of their videos have increased in all ways but it would be very weird if they didn’t, so Trent is too painful (for me) to listen to but I enjoy their videos and following their adventures
The van looks amazing. Nice job on the build; probably the best van I've seen on TH-cam
Thank you so much!!! That's so kind of you.
No holds barred, this is definitively the best van on youtube or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter.
INDEFINITELIFESPAN you the real MVP!!
carbon monoxide is heavier than air, so best to put the detector as low as possible
Search Results
Featured snippet from the web
There's a myth that carbon monoxide alarms should be installed lower on the wall because carbon monoxide is heavier than air. In fact, carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and diffuses evenly throughout the room.
CO (carbon monoxide) vs O2 (oxygen)
CO = 12+16 = 28 atomic mass
O2 = 16+16 = 32 atomic mass
O2 is heavier
Science, y'all
@@kwirkLA not really relevant as O2 is not air
If carbon monoxide is heavier then why is it that when a licensed and certified multi fuel or wood burning stove installation professional always insist that they are governed by law to install a carbon monoxide alarm no further that 2meters away from the stove and it has to be either on the ceiling or at ceiling height ?
If you put your bench/chopping board on runners you could just move it to the right when using the stove and then you could still utilize your bench space to chop etc while cooking :)
it would also provide access to the spices on the wall while cooking.
thought of both of these things xD
ideas for version 3.... or v2.1
Exactly thinking this..once open have no space to put food or anything on side.. not only that, the underside that wood is going to get burn marks on
Did i completely miss and not pay attention where your batteries are located? If so, where are they located? This is by far the best build EVER.
I've seen a lot of mobile home vans and this is by far my fave. i love everything about it especially the shower.
I have watched a lot of nice van and tiny house videos, but this is one of my favourites. I cannot usually picture myself living in a van, but this seems very practical with its shower and space solutions, lots of great details. Personally, I think you have done unbelievable work with your van. I wish all three of you (I count pets as part of family) all the best and greetings from Finland!

What do you do for a living? I mean you can be a standup comedy
well thank you!! I'm in internet advertising and Allie is in health care
Trent & Allie Nice nice. I hope you guys have a great time. Hopping to see more stuff uploads from Vancouver BC, I'm from there.
But you really really have to be-careful from being robbed your van stolen, that could be your worst nightmare. There are many car thieves in the west end, and many drug addicts because of the mild temperature out of all of Canada.
Wish you best of luck and thank you for sharing your experiences :)
How much does it cost to built and buy
Van Conversion Cost Trent & Allie th-cam.com/video/J6CWJWev4wE/w-d-xo.html
Kemper cars such as Mercedes, Fiat, Volkswagen are between 30,000 or 60,000 dollars, the materials for building van are approximately 10,000 dollars. The total is approximately 50,000 to 80,000 dollars, and we see the house 100 to 200 meter in some countries the same price.
@@albj5119 your house doesn't move though when you want to go to a new place
