Wow, you have really engineered that van build to get the most out of a such limited space. Really impressive ! You seem a nice humble guy too, best of luck 🤞.
The surprises are endless in this van build. Nicely done! Super clever and creative. I love the covered porch 😀 I have a 2015 transit connect work van, it’s a great vehicle.
I was looking for ideas and boy did you deliver. I just purchased a 2012 transit connect and the first thing I thought was mini RV and ta-da here it is .
I love your van build ideas! I too have a 2013 Transit Connect (it's no where near as cleverly built as yours). I call my build my "no-build, van build" but it has everything I need so I'm happy with it. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us. I'm sure they will inspire many people. Safe travels!
Mine was set up really for work I did drywall repairs and I’d pull onto a neighborhood and sure enough the neighborhood watch guide walk up and say can I help you and I always said sure pops grab that ladder off the top and carry it in for me
Oh you're just too cute. ....talking about the umbrella pole getting in the way....your smirk just made me me laugh. I really enjoyed all the thought you put into this. You really thought everything out so nicely!!
I have a 2012, love it! We have a bed in the back for overnight sleeping when traveling. We also have a 1996 E150 that we're building out for camping close by. The Transit Connect is amazing for long traveling. Very economical. You have a very unique build out
I just bought a 2012 with 40000 miles. Was going to update technology for phone etc. But I have extra phone and tablet. 👍🏼 I lost my husband a couple years ago, time to live again. It's a high roof passenger but will work with it. I have more widows, but will put up black covered reflectix permanently in middle windows to use that space( It has 6 back windows) Those particular 2 windows don't open anyway. Have to have some light. Good ideas here. It's small but for traveling some, it's perfect. I couldn't live in it, well, guess I could if I had to, but that's why I have a house.
Nice job! The window shade is sheer genius! The "easy chair" was a different approach as well. I love a "reality" approach in these videos and your comment about a junk cubby made me happy. The single bed Murphy also spoke to me, and yours was quite the good innovation, especially that it included the third seat [with belts] concept, something I was thinking about when you first pulled it out. Also, I am sure a medium to large dog would like to ride there while driving...🤔hmmmmm...😁
This is so great! Perfect "cave" - portable, with just about everything a person would need! Love the kitchen and Murphy bed, and all the custom, unique things you did to make life fun!
Hi Gina, thank you so much for your kind words. I actually had to change a few things since I made this video. Yes I had to remove the Murphy bed because I just needed the storage space. But I came up with another clever idea for a bed I think you might like. Here's a updated video of the van if you are interested. God's blessings to you. -Brad th-cam.com/video/8ZMggVhDut4/w-d-xo.html
Wow wow wow! The van that keeps on giving! I'm so impressed by this build, by far the best use of space I've seen in a Ford transit. A lot of other conversions for these seem so samey. I was originally considering a transit but after seeing others I thought it wouldn't really be liveable but now I've seen you're im 100% going to get a transit now! Off to watch the rest of your videos! Great job 👏👏👏
This whole build is genius. You've thought of everything. Great job. I just bought a 2001 Chevy Express 1500 to convert. It may be too much for me to tackle. I'm on my own but I'm going to give it my best. Blessings from Jersey.
Among those videos on youtube yours is the best I like smaller van so when travelling doesn't take much space on road :) thank for your video i'd like to travel with that van:)
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I've actually sold that van and am currently using a little bit larger one. Here is a link to it being finished if you are interested. th-cam.com/video/m7TxXDYcE7g/w-d-xo.html And here is a link to the entire build process. th-cam.com/play/PLZNEwj4jaSej1TXtroMv7RxDI6Fqnem9B.html Thanks again and God's blessings to you.
@@jesuscross9 no need to thank me brother, I too am looking forward to getting out of corrupted city life, being back in nature that God 'created' for us (Gods creation is not a globe earth) and to be at peace in this world with oneself and get closer to our Father😊 Thank the Lord Jesus Christ for He deserves all praise🙏 God Bless you and yours
Thank you. I've changed things a bit since that video. Here's a link to all of my videos on this van. My next to last two, on the shower and heating and cooling, explain why I took out the murphy bed and show what I use now at the end of the heating and cooling video. I actually wish I'd have thought of this sooner. Good luck to you. Let me know if you have any questions. God's blessings to you. -Brad th-cam.com/play/PLZNEwj4jaSegIh_XeMtX6YCl6qAwK11Mh.html

4 minutes in...'only 300 songs on your play list?'...... 28 minutes in.... "hold on, you've got yourself a cinema!!!!!" Did not see that coming. The van is a TARDIS :o
Loved the video love your campervan conversion best transit connect campervan I've seen . Stay safe and well to you, myself and all the other good decent people again exalent job you've done with your transit connect campervan build
At the end I thought you were being attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes, was trying to discern that buzzing noise and then when the aerial view started happening and you got smaller..and smaller it finally hit me- DRONE LOL SO COOL :)
You did a very enlightening video. Constantly amazed on how you combined so much into so little. Very functional, and well thought out. I have looked into Van life for a couple of yrs and I have to say that your build is one of the best I have seen. I also thought that I didn’t need a double bed but never thought of a multi use folding Murphy bed/bench/extra secure seating with seat belt. I like the suspenders for holding the bedding in place. I am impressed. Thank you!
Fantastic, Do-it-yourself build! One of the best I’ve seen on TH-cam so far. Highly suggest you look at the Olympian Wave Catalytic heater that also uses propane. I compare a Little Buddy to the smallest Wave 3 on my channel. Mr. Heater’s have a constant flame 🔥 when in use. Wave heaters only use a pilot light to ignite the heater. Then it becomes a safer, catalytic heater that sips propane with low & high settings. Wave heaters are made for indoor use whereas Buddy’s give off more condensation and work better in tents, hunter stands & ice fishing. I use my Little Buddy only in waking hours on short day trips. Love your screens and use of magnets. Well done 👍
WOW !! I your van build is the best I've yet seen.. I'm planning to do a build on my van... Don't quite know where to start... oh yeah get making the cardboard templates. AWESOME!! Kia ora! Greetings! and God's blessings to you from New Zealand 🇳🇿.
How cool is this van .....I would need a little colour LOL very clever layout love the bed and all the other features. Well thought out and built. Awesome
Thank you. I've made some modifications since that video shown in this video. A list of videos are in the description which explain why. God's blessings to you. th-cam.com/video/8ZMggVhDut4/w-d-xo.html
I’ve check out some of your other videos, for sure! I’ve watched one of you preaching on the street, you’re a brave guy. My brother passed away last year and I’ve found that really working on getting closer to the lord has helped me cope. Keep up the great work and I’ll see you on the next van build video I watch. :)
I love this. I have the 2020 version of this van and you have given me some great ideas! What kind of idiots are given this thumbs down? 😅 Jealous much?
I quite agree about leaving room for the front seat. BTW there are trays that attach to steering wheels so you could eat or work on your computer from your front seat.
Hi New Subscriber, I am praying for the right size vehicle for me and have been toying with the idea of a transit connect for all the same reasons you have mentioned. Thank you for the info...Love your build
I love the efficient use of space. I want to buy or build an RV this size so I can park it in the lot of my building without the HOA getting on my case! lol
Thanks. I've started another van build in a promaster if you're interested. Van 3 camper van build: th-cam.com/play/PLZNEwj4jaSej1TXtroMv7RxDI6Fqnem9B.html

Simply the best mini build ever.

@@jesuscross9 if you have a house why do you have to live in ??
Your design and execution is amazing! Your projection TV setup was over the top amazing for this space!
Excellent content! You have an inspired quality of van life, in the design, and switching-up the space. What a roll! Enjoyed!
Thank you so much for your kind words. God's blessings to you.
I just got me a 2013 transit connect and am fixing it up now...gonna travel with my dogs...i love it...want to go stealth too...
Great use of small space. Simple and resourceful implementations!
Thank you

I just went over to your channel and checked out your van. I think it looks great. Very cozy. Thank you for your kind words. God's blessings to you.
Thanks for sharing! Got so many ideas for my Transit Connect. The bed, swivel seat, porch, terrace ... really awesome!👍 Keep blessed.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm so glad you got something out of it.

Awesome build man. Massive use of space love it. ❤👍
Thanks
Amen! I've seen some really good Transit Connect campers, and this is the best yet
Wonderful marvelous build! God bless n Aloha from the Big Island of Hawai’i🌺
I love it. Simple and functional. Perfect. Surprices till the end. Projector. Backporch. Top porch. You name it.
Oh you're just too cute. ....talking about the umbrella pole getting in the way....your smirk just made me me laugh. I really enjoyed all the thought you put into this. You really thought everything out so nicely!!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. ;)
So well designed!great job!!
rely sick build. kitchen is good. so good too see people stretching the possibilities of the small vans 🤟
So thankful to have found this video...so many great ideas.
I loved this video so much I'm here watching it for a second time... great job on the build
Thank you so much.
Very ingenious build.
AWESOME! Absolutely incredible built! Well thought out and built. Thanks for sharing.
very clever ideas here! liked the fold up bed, but the back porch!!!

Thank you for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed it.
Very functional. Thanks for sharing.
A lot of thought went into this build.
Thanks for sharing. Saddened I just parted with my same little van - or would have loved to have kitted it out like this. Fantastic build.
I like the stove..instead of having 1 of those sketchy single canisters.. The trim plate keeps the pan closer to the counter top.
I could not wait to see the next ingenious idea!
But, you totally got me at the roof top patio!
Excellent job!
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I've actually sold that van and am currently using a little bit larger one. Here is a link to it being finished if you are interested.
