Kelly and I bought a camper van this last year and after taking a bunch of trips in it we have some ideas of how we could change things around to better use the limited space inside. We want to rebuild all the cabinets and put down different flooring, just to start. I jump in on gutting the inside of the camper van. Goodbye nasty carpet and tiny shower!
When you gave the old cushion to Drake... 👌👌👌
What a good boy he is.
Drake was saying"Thanks Daddy!"
I love Drake and his handsome Daddy
Really looking forward to this series! Can't wait to see what you can do to put new life into that old camper.
I love how calming these videos are
never clicked so fast - really enjoying your style of videos and narrating :) greetings from germany
We love Germany
Finally! More to come and I could not be happier. The Mrs. additional narration = 👍🏽
Just when I didn't think you could get any better, you add Kelly and her fantastic accent. :>)
She's white. ICE will leave her alone.
The one thing I miss most from the 1980's Econoline vans were those awesome wing windows up front.
Yep,so if u want little bit of air u dont need to fold down the whole big window
That has to be the best add I've seen in my entire life
Every one has their skills, everyone has their experiences and everyone has a dream. To put these all together is what a person is. You lay down your experience and your thinking, not in a “I’m right” way but in a way to allow the thinkers in the TH-cam world understand where and why you are doing it the way you do
Gorgeous video. The music, the dog, the voiceover. Calming as heck. Though slightly annoyed I didn't find you later so I could have binge watched this series !
We had this rv but it was an '91. We purchased it when it was about 16 years old. I used that shower all the time. I am short and it worked for me. We had thought of putting storage shelves there as we felt we would never use it as a shower. But then we started dry camping in a state park and I hated all the spiders. So I started using the shower and never returned to the camp showers. But the tight quarters got old after a while and we ended up trading it in and got a class c that we love. Can't wait to see your finished product.
You never cease to amaze me, with your skills, determination, and common sense. Definitely my favorite TH-cam channel.
PS - I wish you’d tell the story of Kelly and you!
This is maybe the most content man on this accursed site.
Thumbs up for an exciting new project and the obedient doggo sitting on the seat when told.
This is the holy grail of video channels for me. I have the exact RV package ion my 79 Econoline. I gutted it 4 years ago and will be doing a fresh remodel and launching a youtube series about it this summer. I've only watched the first of your videos, but will devour your content. All the best!!
I’m looking forward to seeing it once it’s finished up . I’m sure it will look outstanding
Notice the dog afterwards looking around like damn I Musta did something right to get this bed things are looking good around here....
Brilliant. Another series. Make it a long one!
I just have to say, that camper was maintained immaculately for its age.
Thanks for showing the tearing out process. I don’t see that very often in yt vids. As a scaredy cat noob, I found it helpful
Everything you do keeps mesmorized, I truly enjoy how you work and how you explain. Godspeed
Rainfall Projects
: Oh man! This is gonna be a big project...
Me: YES!!! 👏😊
Not a drop of rain in the entire video. Great project, I look forward to the continuation.
Hi, three suggestions and piece of unsolicited advice:
1. Check out Seelevel monitoring system but Garnet Industries. The sensors are mounted outside the tanks, are really accurate, and it's made in Texas.
2. Buy a standard height ceramic toilet with foot valve. Just trust me on that.
3. Check out Progressive Dynamics converters. They offer a lot of features, are substantially lighter than others, and are basically silent.
4. The advice is to use a gas/AC fridge. Even with solar, if you're parked for a couple cloudy days in the forest on the coast, you'll constantly be checking your batteries.
Thanks for putting out such great content, and hello from Springfield, OR!
A gas fridge will shut off if it the camper isn't dead level. They are a pain. They will be travelling during winter so a cooler might be more practical. Or he might put a generator on board and use that to recharge his batteries when there is cloudy weather. A 12 volt fridge is pretty expensive but you know I wouldn't be surprised if he doesnt rig up a wind generator lol
I always want to skip your ad... but then you decide to do something interesting, so I watch it. This is advertising done right!
I love the mini projects for the adds. Usually I just skip through but you do such a great job!
Can’t wait to see the finish product, my family and I (wife, 2 boys11 & 13) just travelled half way around Australia and seeing your van brings ideas of adventure and free open roads, thanks for the vid great work
I'm tuned in for sure, I like this spin on the campervan build.
I love your work and I think I'm addicted to your videos! Thank you for the effort that you've put in to them. Can't wait!
Directed here from your bourbon liquored up neighbor Bourbon Moth ..... Keep up the work. Can't work to see more of these campervan vids.
I really try to avoid and skip commercials when and where ever I can...
Exept for yours Justin!! I really enjoyed the sponsorspot :D
Keep up the amazing work :)
greetings from a 105°F germany ^^
Now this is something completely different!
Lookin' forward to more.
hey guys! I just wanted to reach out and say thanks for being the only one to have a van just like my girlfriend and i AND make videos about it! yall have the same exact plan lol, we did trips before renovations in the.... unique 80's layout. we even have a black cat and dog odly enough. so now that it sounds like were stalkers. I currently am 30 percent through the rebuild I was hoping we could have a conversation about your experiences maybe bounce a couple ideas off you, it would mean a lot and help tremendously, I'm just a bit overwhelmed lol. however I realize you have a life, likely a busy one at that so if your unable, I'm creative and I'll figure it out! in either case thanks again and wish yall the best adventures in life!
Looking forward to watching the build.
I am so amazed by your courage going into such a project !! The task seems dawnting, but I am sure the result will be worth it !
Greetings from Switzerland !
Very cool! Good to bite off more than you can chew every now and then. Can't wait to see more.
Can't wait for the upcoming progress!! Loving your style of video!
They probably used the tub for their dog. Nice older van. I love watching videos of van builds! 👍
Not to be a spoil sport, but definitely need more Kelly narration. Hope she is okay with that. 👍
Thanks for sharing.
Keep having fun.
🙏❤️😁🐕
Any day that I come home from a long stressful day of work and there's a new Rainfall Projects video ready to help me relax is a great day!
Put cargo nets in the ceiling. It's a great place to store clothes or things you don't really use too often. You basically have an entire floor's worth of storage space up there.
This is super-cool. With your combined skills and imagination this is going to be awesome to watch!
Those are so cool. Crazy how the van thing has come full circle....I love seeing how people convert Sprinters. With all the new technology, you can make a really sweet setup.
Very cool, looking forward to seeing more of your journey. Thank you for sharing your story, God bless you and your family
Really looking forward to follow this one! Helping a friend convert his sprinter at the moment, so much fun
You got a nice place there pal, specially that dream barn 👍🏼
We are redoing our 1980s Dodge Conversion Van RV right now. We finished the tear out and repaired all the leaks. We are aiming for it to take 3 years. We picked the van up for free 10 years ago with 4,600 kms on it. Seems a squirrel go into to it and chewed a hole in a couch cushion. The owner was deathly afraid of them so she called us in as she knew we hauled scrap on the side. She wanted it gone. 🤔 She signed it over to us and we took it ......to our house instead of the scrap yard! 😊 Cannot fix stupid! We went every where in that thing! She is awesome! Never did fix that hole the squirrel chewed in the cushion. 🤣
Now a big air mattress, a couple of sleeping bags and your done.
pyrobooby smith I agree!
That is a sweet van, I'm sure it will look incredible when you finish. You've got a good sense of style and design.
Great work dismantling! I guess it helps to be a farm boy to gain strength and know how to fix things. You stripped it down so much, you might as well have bought a new van, although this one does have some vintage character and costs a lot less.
Kelly has a super sweet voice!
I was very happy to see a video like this from you. I enjoy watching your videos and I enjoy travel/camper vans.
I love your filming style. I love the dog as well.
Every thing looks like it's coming out easy. Gotta love that!
Fantastic as usual, you’re gonna have to change your profile picture and have all 3 of you in there. I’m surprised Kelly hasn’t said something about it. Keep the wonderful videos coming guys and gall Greetings from 🏴
Already loving this !!! Can't wait to see how this turns out! Definitely looking forward to get some inspiration from you guys🙌🏾🙌🏾
I found a guy who made his cabinets with 1" Ridgid foam insulation, painted with Kilz then coated with fiberglass screen, then Kilz'd again. Very light and strong replacement for plywood. Worth a try, or test at least.
The shower and toilet are arguably the most important components of a camper. Why have a camper if you can’t drop fat dookies or shower? What’s your plan?
Chris Baudoux you must be a city boy. We van camp I’ve had 5 vans, there are so many options for hygiene while camping that don’t involve using up limited van space and the extra weight.
Man everything you do is so cool, I mean everything.
And I'm pretty sure this one going to be very entertaining.
Can't wait to see the whole series
I can't imagine having so much money that you can have a van, and workshop, and do all of this.
I love your videos but fall next year! I need to binge watch them. Keep up the fantastic content.
Great videos! Can’t wait to watch the rest of this project. Gday from Australia!
I'm looking forward to seeing what your new interior looks like. Hopefully it matches up to those fancy looking sprinter conversions :P
Your style of video making is the best !!
Congrats and good luck on the van reno. Can't wait to see more. Can I request more Drake? He is such a good boy!
Fantastic! a new big project. I am so happy. Hello from France
I can’t wait for the rest of the series, absolute new subscriber!!! 🤗
Great video as always. Looking forward to the rest of them!
The only channel where I look forward to the ads!
Great video! Really enjoyed it. Revamping a van is a huge undertaking that's for sure. Hey! Next time you engage in one of those types of rip it out, throw the dirt and mildew out, PLEASE invest in a face mask, eye protection and a good pair of utility gloves! At the point when you were ripping away the toilet and said how messy that was I said out loud.."Wouldn't that be so much better with a good comfy pair of gloves!! 😉😉😎
If you can, try to get a fridge with an external compressor. So much more space in the fridge. Highly recommended!
Cool stuff thanks for sharing, amazing project and should be fun when completed ❤️👍👍
Big project, but very exciting and awesome. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
It's good to see that Tom Brady has found something to do in the off season!
Love watching you and your projects 😉
Great video, looking forward to watching this project progress!
I am hooked! Definitely will be following next episodes!
Cool man! Anxious to follow the project! Love from Sweden.
Looking forward to the next part.
Gunna be worth watching this series. You're quite skilled and artistic so should be good.
I'm doing the same but with a 79 Dodge. Subbed. Can't wait to see this one done.
Cool video. Can't wait for the rest of the build series.
I can't wait to see the two of you put your creativity to work on this project! I'm working on my own camper, so I look forward to stealing some good ideas.
Our rule on our portapotti is that if you put lumps in the toilet, you get to clean it. I think we have only used it for #2 because hubby had diarrhea and had to use it NOW.
What if both of you use it? 🤔
Hasn't happened in 50 years.
Excited to see this project.
I'm really glad this popped up on my feed! I have a no #2 rule as well even though my spaces were pretty large, it just makes sense. I like that you weren't destructive with your demo'ng of the van. You seem very methodical :-).
Nice work mate ! Can’t wait for the rest of the videos !!!
I see you cutting it in half and making it longer and taller! lol Looking forward to this series, I love watching you come up with cool ideas. I also have to say you are one of the best YT creators that does your sponsors well for supporting you.
Oh looking forward to this series, I would love to do a project like this someday!
Very good video and sound editing. Always amiably entertaining.
Can't wait to see the progress on the remodel.
I'm so excited about this project!
That pull out bed on top would be great for kids
I did the same project on a 76 Dodge Explorer . It turned a lot of heads when I was out on the road . My mistake was that it had no auto A/C . Those old wing windows just didn't cut it during mid summer heat .They were great for depositing angry bee's in your lap !
Irish ☘️ is the best accent to listen to 👍🏼🤷♂️😂
Your skillz + a van build. Hell yeah.
wow i've never seen a van like this. but i totally want to do a van conversion too. im a 19 year old barista living in austin tx. rent is super expensive and i cant really afford it without a roommate. my moms totally in on the idea of me doing this!
2 min in and already love! Please keep it up! Even if recording takes 3x longer!
Soooo looking forward to this build.
North American definition of "small" is kind of funny :D
Nice little project you have on your hands ;)
