2020 AWD Ford Transit conversion is finally here and its currently FOR SALE $155,000.00! (As of 12/03/2022)
This one of a kind 2020 Ford Transit AWD van is outfitted with a professional Barn Swallow Tiny Homes LLC 2022 conversion that is as stunning as it is functional. Whether you decide to live out of this van or use it for your overland excursions, we know that you will appreciate the craftsmanship, function, and beauty of this rig.
Interior design features include a mix of nautical, modern industrial, and even some rustic elements that leave anyone standing inside of it feeling right at home. We believe that we struck a wonderful balance between warm wood tones and subtle cool tones. We love to involve elements of contrast in our designs. Notice how well the sugar maple and gray hexagon tile flooring complement each other? Or how well the black walnut cabinet faces and counters show off their unique grain on the backdrop of painted gray cabinets? Oh, and then there’s the western red cedar ceiling and all of their variation defined by crisp black lines in between. The black handles, hardware and trim really help make things sleek, but the bright white lights and switch panels keep the van feeling open and spacious.
The van also has 40 gallons of clean water capacity underneath and has adhesive tank heaters that are internally thermostat controlled to help combat freezing temperatures. Gray water capacity is 20 gallons but is not heated. We suggest adding a small amount of RV antifreeze for freezing conditions. Both fresh and gray water tanks have their own drain valves should you need to drain the tanks for any reason. The freshwater port is located on the driver side and is protected by a key to deter tampering. The freshwater system has a 12v pump and accumulator tank. There are exterior hot and cold-water spigots. The van is equipped with a 7-gallon Bosch mini tank water heater.
The shower is fitted with a sauna shower grate made of Spanish cedar and a custom matching soap shelf. This is a wet bath and so it features a brand-new Air Head composting toilet and ducted exhaust. The shower fixture has a conventional diverter and a shower head with handheld wand.
Features a whopping 840 watts of solar mounted on a custom aluminum roof rack. It also features 200 ah lithium iron phosphate batteries wired in series to make a 24v bank at 200 ah (same power as 400ah at 12v), and all high quality Victron Energy equipment! Of the Victron energy components, we have a Victron Multiplus 3000 watt / 24vDC / 120vAC inverter, charger, and 70-amp shore power transfer switch is central to this system (50-amp Furrion shore power inlet). It is complimented by a Victron 100/50 charge controller, Victron 100-amp DC/DC alternator charger, Victron Lynx distribution system with smart shunt, a Cerbo GX module with touchscreen, and an Orion 70-amp 24v to 12v step down transformer. The Cerbo GX system enables remote and bluetooth monitoring of your off-grid energy system!
The chassis, it is a single rear wheel, all-wheel drive Ford Transit 350 (GVWR 9500lbs) with a Ford Ecoboost V6 engine with less than 900 miles on it and an automatic transmission. It is the largest van that Ford offered in 2020 with an extended length 148” wheelbase and a high roof ceiling.
The suspension has been beefed up thanks to a VanCompass two-inch suspension lift all around and a rear aftermarket Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 Ultimate air bag suspension. This suspension is far from stock! The rims are Hunter Van Dually black aftermarket rims. The tires have been upgraded to Toyo Open Country A/T LT245/75R16 load range E tires and a full-size spare mounted to the back door thanks to a quality Aluminess spare tire rack.

Hey everyone! This is Cody from Barn Swallow Tiny Homes! I just wanted to hop in the comments to thank you all so much for your love and support on this video. We are beyond proud of this AWD Ford Transit Conversion and are grateful for Patrick of NJOA for taking the time to share our work!
P.S. I’ll also be available in the live chat if you’d like to privately inquire or have anything you’d like to discuss!
Looking forward to todays tour.
You and I both! I built and know every inch of the damn thing and I can’t wait to watch the video 😂
Just wow!!! Do you offer modifications on fully built vans?
Can you, or have you, added a bathroom shower to these? I’m old, showering outside in the winter is a no go for me. 🤣
@@esthers5772 hey! I’d consider modifications and like to keep an open mind but the answer depends on what the existing van is like
Cody is what our country needs more of. It’s always encouraging to see a young man as motivated and genuinely caring about the quality he is selling. Bravo
Yes, agreed
Aw well shucks, thank you for complimenting me personally! I’m honored by all the love this has received and certainly proud of my work!
AGREED!!! This build video was an absolute joy and inspiration!!
This is one of the best builds I have seen. Simply elegant ✨️ Great job.
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks Jane
@@barnswallowtinyhomes2990k
Best frig set up I've seen and I've watched 50 of these van builds.
So awesome to hear that
Thank you so much! Now that’s the sort of thing we like to hear 😊
I follow a lot of van life sites and I must say this is one of the nicest vans I have ever seen if not the nicest.
Glad you enjoyed the tour William
Now that’s the kind of compliment we love to read! Thank you so much!
@@barnswallowtinyhomes2990 it's a beautiful build but for $155,000 I would rather have a nice tiny house with more room. If I was younger and healthy it would probably be different.
The kitchen seats and table are absolutely INGENIOUS!
Thanks a lot Michelle! We’re happy we thought this up!
So much cool on this one
Awesome build! Bucket list vehicle ❤ love the coziness of the wood and the reclaimed barn wood super personalized. Love the tile in the entry for easier entry cleaning. Diamond plate is well used- and underrated on other builds.
Thank you for the feedback and support
Wow, what a lovely review and compliment! Thank you so much!
We are surprised that more van builders don’t use more diamondplate. We love how rugged it is and of course how lightweight aluminum is. We’re happy you appreciate it
Absolutely love that there is a place to eat that does not involve folding the bed. Super well done!
It’s a smart idea
I like permanent fixtures for daily use. Converting staple furniture seems to be exhausting for daily use!
Thank you!!!!
High end, gorgeous finishes. The garage is like an art installation. Gaining 2 or 3 inches here and there, where available, makes so much difference. The dining table and seating is brilliant. Thanks for the tour! Can't wait to see more from you.
Thank you Suzanne! We appreciate this compliment 😊
We can’t wait to show you more!
So much cool here
Congratulations, I think you have the best design thus far. Every detail and every corner has a purpose and reason for being where it is. If I had the money to have a camper van made, this one fits the build 100%. Keep up the Great quality and workmanship.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you so much! This is a wonderful compliment 😊
We really try to deductively consider every variable and it’s impact on another. It drives me mad sometimes and I can’t even tell you how many days of measuring and figuring goes into a build like this.
One of the very best Transit build I have seen! Fantastic layout and craftsmanship!
Wow, thanks!
Great woodwork with a mixture textures. I like your roll out seat and table, good use of space. That’s the biggest van sink I’ve ever seen! The fridge was a surprise, it’s huge. It’s a nice home for two, but better yet a perfect home for a retiree that wants to travel the country. Job well done!!
Thanks Terry
Thank you Terry! We completely agree !
This is the best build out I've ever seen. It's nice, lots if space not to mention storage space as well. A well live in van life I would love especially when living in Hawai'i, Westside Oahu. Basically all dry living no hook ups needed. This is great.
Why thank you kindly! I certainly believe that we could set you up with the van of your dreams! Thank you for thinking so highly of the work and appreciating it as you do.
What does your timeline look like? We’d love to fit you into our schedule
I applaud you 👏!!!! The craftsmanship, creativity, colors, storage, finishes… it’s all perfection! You won’t have to give up anything living in this van!
Heck yes! I love this comment/compliment. Thank you for enjoying every aspect!
Such a passionate builder
Hi
Now that is an excellent build. Tons of storage. I've never seen that much storage. Plenty of counter space. The slide out table and chairs are real cool. Plenty of lighting. Plenty of water with heated tanks. Winch. Wood accents. They put alot in the rig and everything in a good space. The garage is genius and the electrical bay was neat and clean, looks professional and accessible. With the off road nature of the rig it could use more than 200 AmD. I've never seen a build quite like this one. All of the workmanship was top notch. And it's ready for off grid including suspension. He didn't mention the solar capacity but I saw the panels.I don't know Patrick this might be in the top three. Very nice rig. Good job Patrick 👍👍👍
WOW, what a phenomenal and elaborate comment. Thank you 😊
It’s 200 ah at 24v which is the same as 400 ah at 12v. But we’d always encourage more battery power!
It’s 840 watts of solar btw 😊
One of the best layouts ever! Finishes are so dignified and earthy!
Thanks Sharon
Hell yes! Thank you Sharon!
Table with seating is genius!!! Never seen this before. Nothing to put up or down, plus all the extra counter space. Never considered a van before but this makes me want one.
Hell yeah Wendy, now that’s what we like to hear! It’s a Barn Swallow Tiny Homes original idea as far as I know. It came straight out of my head! I’d be curious to know if anyone else has done it. I’m sure many will copy!
Daaaaamn! That's my man!
Cody rocks
Thank you babe! That’s my woman! 😘
I love you and thank you for your love/support as always 😊
Absolutely beautiful build. I agree that it should be as many drawers as possible for storage. Thanks for sharing.
I’m on the same page
Drawers are the way!
🖐🏻Hello 👋 ...Daaaaamn I would love a van like this!!!!! I have honestly never seen such an great all around van ... all the necessities but at the same time so very beautiful. I could go on & on but I have to keep lifting my jaw up off the counter after each new revelation. Gorgeous build! 😊 Thank you for this little work of art!
Hugs Valerie
🍁❤👵🐶👅🇨🇦
Thanks for the support Valerie
Why thank you kindly for this awesome compliment and all the way from Canada! I love that people from far and wide are getting to see my work 😊
Beautiful Scandinavian lines in that van
I see it too
Thanks for appreciating that! We love clean lines and playing with the bounds of rustic and modern. We love Scandinavian design principles!
I’m continually amazed what can fit into such a small space. Very nice build
Heck yeah! We really pride ourselves in that! Thank you 😊
Super impressed
What a great van build. Love the diamond plate garage and reuse of materials. That sink is almost big enough for a bath. Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot! We’re happy you like the diamondplate. It just makes so much sense
Glad you enjoyed the tour
An amazing build! Notice how he yanks on that cabinetry- bombproof design and overkill engineering. This guys’ build quality’s gonna make Airstream envious and what a wonderful company motif. If I had a couple hundred g’s for a van build I’m going here!
Damn, Ken! What an awesome compliment. Thank you so much 😊
Glad you found this video
This is an awesome van build. I would definitely buy it if I had the money. I love everything about this van. It Is perfect for a full time remote working person. Great job Cody and Patrick thank you so much for doing a great job with this video.
Thanks a million! I appreciate your kind words
Thanks Kay
Fantastic Van build. Beautiful story and attitude of the van owner/builder. Outstanding.
Thank you Tracy! I appreciate you liking my story and motive. I really believe what I say around here: “we build freedom”
Thanks Tracy
This is obviously the result of years of constant improvement / trial and error. I'm that guy that will find a flaw in anything... it's perfect! The large double sink, the pull-out dinette / work station... I could go on and on. The low fresh water capacity concerns me... that's my only gripe, but again... I'm that guy. I still give this build an A+.
Thank you very much Mike
Why thank you kindly Mike! This is a wonderful compliment and I appreciate the constructive criticism. We will do better and better with each build!
This is truly impressive! It’s an efficiency apartment on wheels. I know I could live in that.
Hell yeah you could! Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback
Patrick’s rig still makes me drool 💚💚💚
Thanks 🙏🏼
Breathtakingly amazing build! The walnut and barn trim wowza!!! May you have bountiful success with your business and lovely story about the swallows 😍
Love his passion
Thanks a lot! This comment really made me smile! I think the future is bright for Barn Swallow Tiny Homes!
Man, next level craftsmanship and quality. And so clever -- it sure shows you know what you're doing and what works and what doesn't! Beautiful.
Such a cool design
Thank you! There’s so many puzzling days and sleepless nights making it all come together. I love getting to play mad scientist with it!
Wow! They thought of everything! Amazing design, build and craftsmanship. Beautiful.
We certainly try! Thank you so much!
Thanks Nanno
This is the best van build I've seen. Great work Cody & company!
Thanks Patricia
Thank you so much Patricia! 😊
Patrick...your batting average when it comes to van life is through the roof! 🤓 booyah
Cody... luv the work standards you've put in to this high-quality home on wheels. Exceptional asthetics and organizational features... the carpentry is top notch...awesome skill sets shown in this vid... quality makes all the difference for traveling as well as safety
Thank you so much for the support
Thank you so much 😊
What a beautiful build. Love all the upgrades and the storage. I love that big sink. The barn wood is a nice touch and I love the floor.
Agreed Malinda
What a wonderful compliment! Thank you so much Malinda!
WOW. That Van Is Awesome. You Got The Storage n Storage n Storage. I LOVE IT. There Was So Much, I Have To Watch Again.
Thank you for appreciating the storage!
Glad you liked it!!
Beautiful home! I love the attention to details! Love the cabin feel.
On the top of my list
Details are everything here at Barn Swallow Tiny Homes! Thank you!
This is the nicest van build I have seen. I could live in this , no problem. Everything you need! The storage space is awesome. Nice job! Love it, it’s beautiful 😊
Thanks so much!
Why thank you so much Trish! We love that you appreciate the storage space available
One of the best ones I have watched on TH-cam.
Thank you Dean!!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
One of the nicest I seen. Practical & attractive high end build.
Thanks Karen
Thank you so much!
Really like this build. First time I've seen the pull out seating. I'm looking for a solution for me so that I don't have to use my wheelchair inside the van. I can stand but not for long as I have just one leg. There's even room for me to haul my power chair in the garage. I would keep the upper shelving just for my 2 cats but add little cutouts so they can spy on me along with mini windows along the top. Since I have company every winter I would need a couch instead of the counter on the one side but love the idea of extended sink with cutting boards...I could use that for dish storage. So many good ideas!
Well shucks thank you Karen I’m happy that you like our ideas! Thanks for checking it out!
Karen, I’m happy you found this video
I have a RV manufacturer class B on a Transit - love seeing builds on Transits! I love to see these custom builds and this has to be one of the best I've seen - I tried to find something not to like or that is missing and I couldn't! Great job!
Your familiarity with the Transit makes your comment weight even more in my mind. Thanks a lot for letting me know that you like what you see!
So happy you found it
it really does have all the comforts of home
It sure does! Thanks for noticing!
Love it
PATRICK,HI, CODY, HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB ON THIS FORD TRANSIT 350,ALL was done with MUCH THOUGHT BEHIND EVERYTHING, I DO NOT THING I HAD SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS, EVEN GARAGE SPACE IS GREAT, STAY WELL, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Why thank you kindly! We’re happy that you like the work so much !
He really thought this one through
Gorgeous, marvelous 🤗👍👍. Love the cameras as well. A shame some old barns need to come down but the wood certainly looks good in a home. The garage is👍👍😳🤗.
Why thank you kindly. It is a shame that old barns need to come down but we’re all about giving them new life
Thanks for the feedback Linda
WOWWWWWW!! what a gorgeous build. One of the best I have ever seen, I love it!!!!
Thanks a lot Giselle!
Thanks Giselle.
I have seen a lot of TH-cam van builds but this is the best one I have ever seen. Great job I cant wait to see your next build!
Wow, thanks!
Thank you so much! We can’t wait either!
Odd thing to notice, I know, but: the placement of the oven is really well thought out. No lifting out heavy hot dishes from chest height or higher... just seems safer. :) I like the layout, especially since the prep area looks like it could be used as a full time desk to work at.
Heck yeah, we completely agree but are admittedly.biased. I’m thrilled to hear you appreciate these attributes. Thank you!
Good planning on this one
Only thing I would change is to have a small window instead of the mirror by the sink - you might place a narrow mirror on the back of the full length closet door?
VERY NICE!! Love the floor, the very neat access to the "utilities" in the back of the van, the size of the frig, and gorgeous mucrowave... All the security cameras! I'm wondering what the power capacity is, to run the frig , heater, etc...? Some vans can have either propane or electric, with solar panels as their flexible source of power...
(I'm sure I could not afford it, but some lucky person(s) will def. appreciate and enjoy it during their excursions!)
Well done!!!
Good suggestion. I believe the refrigerator uses 8 amps per hr
Thank you and I appreciate your suggestions! I’m loving getting everyone’s feedback for consideration in future builds
I’m uncertain of the exact specifics regarding refrigerator power consumption but this lithium bank and solar system have no trouble at all powering it.
And although power flexibility is nice to have, we’re in the camp that prefers to leave propane out of our builds
I've seen a lot of van builds and this is my favorite so far. If I could afford a camper van conversion, this would be the one.
Well shucks Janice, thank you!!! We’re happy you like it so much!
So happy you found it
This is one of the most wonderful been Boo's Ice seen and I've watched Countless videos!! Bravo, bravo, bravo!!! 👏🏼
Wow, thank you!
Thank you Dawn!!!
Gracias por tu bonito video,saludos desde Curazao,feliz día, el caballo es espectacular
Thank you for checking out the build.
Gracias!
I can see that you really put a lot of thought into this build. It's very attractive. If you would permit me just one suggestion it would be rounded corners on that counter near the entry -- to avoid banging into sharp corners when walking through.
Thanks for the suggestion
Thank you! We sure did! I think that’s a great suggestion
I loved this! holy cow . what a beautiful design and back story!
Thanks Dezi
Thanks a lot! I’m a sentimental kind of guy 😊
Love this build!! I love the barn wood you put in there it is actually one of my favorite parts because there are a few and another is the placement of the shower it's not something you see in a lot of builds but it makes so much sense when you see it done and the other is just the warm feel with all of the warm wood tones in the build from the new cedar to new pine and of course the reclaimed barn wood
Thank you for the feedback and support
Heck yeah Dawn I’m thrilled that you appreciate the warm tones of the build. It does make it feel homely and warm. I wanted to implement these aspects without it feeling too rustic. We love to play with the bounds of rustic and modern.
@@barnswallowtinyhomes2990 Yes the feeling is very warm and inviting and I do appreciate rustic so actually the more the better for me 🏕
Sweet mama! The dream van
Yes 🙌🏼
Thanks a lot! We’re biased but totally agree!
STUNNING BUILD! WELL DONE FRIEND!
Thank you Christian!
Thank you Christian
Gorgeous! Looks so modern & clean! I would hide the induction cooktop by placing it on a pull-out. That way it is protected from my breaking the glass accidently in the future, only takes space when I am using it (which is approx. 2xs for 20 mins daily) and frees up top area for food prepping.
Glad you like it
Thank you! And yeah that’s a cool idea! I dig it
Wow! Stunningly beautiful!
Yes, it is much more nicer than my apartment and my former house.
Glad you like it
Thank you Joel!
I love the protective aluminum bars on the electrical and plumbing.
Very rugged
Thank you! We like to show off the beauty of the utilities and also provide them with plenty of airflow!
@@barnswallowtinyhomes2990 having just watched Ray Outfitters recent video addressing safety concerns with a poorly constructed van has raised SAFETY to the top of the list for me. They had to deconstruct the whole build to get it done. It seems to me that your method, especially the access would have prevented all that.
? Is the aluminum railing providing additional support for the bed?
@@lesliehunter1823 it’s completely and easily removable. The aluminum bars do not support the bed. We completely agree that having these as a permanent fixture is a hazard as well as difficult to perform maintenance/alterations
Wow, this is one of the nicer vans I have seen. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Tommy
We’re certainly in agreement! Thank you!
I absolutely love this van!! Just wish I could afford it LOL I want to camper van so bad
Thanks a lot Lisa! We offer custom builds and depending on the chassis, we could certainly build one for less while still making our money on customization!
Thanks for checking it out
Really sweet build, nice job, good work Patrick , thanks for sharing.
Really nice one
Thank you and yeah Patrick crushed it!
Go Cody wishing you an amazing future in your van builds
Appreciate it Beverley
Thanks a lot Beverly! I think the future is bright for barn swallow tiny homes!
I can see that lots of efforts went into this van but there are also lots of corners to hit your head on, an unsightly solar panel rack, a cage in the garage and finally that shower door… maybe working with an interior designer would bring the looks and comfort to the level of the technical stuff ?
Thank you for your feedback. This is just the beginning for my company and we look forward to implementing a myriad of design ideas to satisfy multiple palettes. We’re certainly not one trick ponies!
Thank you for the feedback for what a con should look like for you
Hi Patrick
Very Nice Build
Great details
Thank you!
Cody, you totally rock!!!! Absolutely love everything about this build!! Wishing you lots and lots of success with your company. :)
Wow well shucks this is such a lovely complement and vote of confidence! Thank you for chiming in! 😊
Thank you! You too!
I definitely want my van to come with a beautiful horse! 😁Very nice build
Van accessory ?
Now that’s a thought! There’s so many horsies in the world that need a loving home!
Gorgeous. Lots of storage....sheesh. A very inviting interior. Well done!!
Why thank you kindly!
Thanks so much! 😊
Very nice well though out,, just shared with family....
Thank you for the support
Thank you for appreciating this van and thinking enough to share along!
I love ❤ this build!
Thanks for the support Annie
Thanks a lot Annie! We’re biased but we do too!
Outstanding!
Why thanks a lot!
Agreed 👍🏽
Love this! I especially love all the drawers.❤
Definitely has ample storage
Drawers are the best !
I could see myself buying this one 100%. If I had the money....... that's a solid build.
You can do it
Thanks a lot! We’ll be ready when you are
Beautiful!! This is perfect! ❤️
Thank you Judith.
Why thank you kindly Judith!
If I had that much, I'd give it to you just based on this video. The excellent workmanship, time and money you've put into it is worth 155k . I've seen 100's of builds, nothing as close to perfect as this one.
Wow, thanks!
My goodness, what a wonderful compliment to receive! Thank you!
@@barnswallowtinyhomes2990 You're welcome. I truly enjoyed this build.
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures No, thank YOU for all it entails to find these one of a kind builds and subsequently posting them. This one's exceptional.
Excellent, beautiful and thought out build. The only thing I would do would cover those rear doors with some kind of panel to get rid of that cargo van look back there.
Thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much! I honestly think you’re right and that will be something to address next time around! We were counting on the curtains being shut but I think it may call for something more rigid
Very nice build, well thought out. Thanks Patrick, love all your content.
Thank you for the support
Thank you!!!
Excellent,job well done👏👏👏thank u for sharing,Cody & Patrick...
Our pleasure!
You’re welcome and thank you!!!
That is one of the best builda I’ve seen!
So happy you found it
That’s what we like to hear!
Stunning is an understatement 😳
The only possible critique I would have, is that water dump valve on the side, under the van. I would have liked to have seen that tucked up a little higher. Seems a little vulnerable as low as it is.
Glad you enjoyed the tour, thank you for the suggestions
I think that’s a valid critique. We could have put it up higher but wanted to orient so the user didn’t get wet when dumping the tank
But wow well thank you kindly! Thank you for the compliment too! 😊
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL & WELL PLANNED! 4X4 is the cherry on top. Only thing I would change - I gotta' have a window at the sink area - I'm guessing you could accommodate that !
Yeah a window could be fitted right above the sink but it’d have to be a small one! Thanks a lot!
Glad you like it Debby. Thank you for the suggestion
@@barnswallowtinyhomes2990 love the build! The cabinets are amazing! Very impressed with the pull out table and seats! Great idea!
Questions. Is the transit battery still located under the driver's seat and is it accessible with the shower that close? Big fridge! Is it 12 volt? I may have missed the total amp hours of batteries you have? Does removing the black foam cover over the side door airbags affect their deployment? What about transfer of heat or cold from the bare metal back doors?
And I may have missed it but what about heating?
Thank you for taking my comments.
God bless!
The transit battery is still accessible despite the shower. I accessed it myself when running the light bar wiring!
The fridge is a residential 120AC unit
Removing the black foam piece should not impede the airbag deployment because the airbag is behind the factory headliner and the interior trim does not attach to the headliner. It only comes close to it like the black foam did. We honored the piece of black foam’s attachment and clearances.
Regarding the back doors, we’d recommend magnetic door insulation panels as an aftermarket add on.
This van design was made to suit the needs of a weather chasing nomad so heat isn’t something we originally included. I will be installing a Webasto Airtop 2000 gasoline heater however very soon
The house battery bank is 2 12v 200ah lithium iron phosphate batteries wired in series to make a 24v 200 ah (same power as 12v 400ah)
Great questions and thank you!
@@barnswallowtinyhomes2990 a better question on my part is if the battery can be removed when it needs to be replaced not just accessed? I guess you could remove the seat though.
I want one!!!!
Me too
Very nice. Great craftsmanship. Thanks.
Thanks a lot Robert!
Thank you for the support
Cody was giving me some Ricky vibes from TPB. Amazing build, one of the best 🙏🏼
Glad you liked it
Love it. Would like to see bunks so you don't have to climb over someone at night. Also cabinet between beds for c pap. Your build is the best I've seen for boondock ing
Thanks a lot! I think it’d be nice to have more sleeping options. Next time!
I love that barn look. Perfectly done. Love the table & chair set up also.
Love some of his ideas
Why thank you kindly 😊
Love this Van tour great floor plan.
Thank you!
Glad you found it
Love that fridge! That's what I'd have to have if I were living in a van, since I make all my food from scratch, even mayo and bbq sauce, because of my autoimmune condition.
It’s a good size
We wanted this one to be made for vanLIFE! Thank you!
@@barnswallowtinyhomes2990, thank YOU! I honestly don't know how people live with those dorm fridges unless they're eating at restaurants and fast foods places a lot, which seems so contrary to the nomadic lifestyle, you know? Happy holidays to you and yours!
@@jillwklausen aww well shucks thank you and same to you and yours!
@@barnswallowtinyhomes2990 TY. 😊
Too awesome 👌 👏. Mercedes Benz doesn't compare to this build. Wow!!
Thanks a bunch! We built another rig on a Mercedes Sprinter and loved it too.
Thanks for the feedback Alexander
Great build the only modification I would do is close the window to have monitors, a propane stove and little projector instead of cabinets at the bed area.
Thanks for the suggestion
Thank you for the insight as to what you’d like to see! I’m always open to suggestions
I love this build and I have a watched hundreds of videos trying to find what I like and want. I love that you were able to get an actual refrigerator in the van cuz those little tiny things are a joke. I know I lived out of room in a room once. It was horrible and no freezer space and the the ones that are like an ice chest would get old fast to me. The shower is a great size and the wood throughout is beautiful. I love the seating area but you can put it away. How much is the van? People always say they're selling but never say how much it is which makes me think it is even more than the regular prices 😬
Thank you for the feedback
How much is it? I'm not tech savvy to locate on the different forums unfortunately, sorry I tried. Can you give me the price here or no?
Looks top notch! Beautiful work. 😊👍🌻
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks a lot! That’s what we like to hear!
So nice!! Love all the storage
It has a good amount
Thank you! Storage for dayyysss!
Wow! Gorgeous build! Wish I could afford something that beautiful!
Thank you! I wish I could too haha we poured our hearts, souls, and bank accounts into making this one happen. It’s got to sell to start the next!
Glad you enjoyed the tour
Amazing build

Awesome, with some unique feature I haven't seen done before. I would love to own one.

Thanks a lot Dale! I’m glad you appreciate this rig’s uniqueness. We can talk numbers if you want!
Beautiful build ! Looks great & awesome! 😊 very cozy indeed.
Why thank you Robert! It really is 😊
Very cozy
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures yes 👍
I do like this build quite a bit. the only negatives I could see are: 1) CO detector would ideally be at the ceiling level; 2) the USB ports would ideally not involve the inverter; 3) no lounge area other than the bed, and no media/entertainment provision; 4) no built-in slider for mountain bikes/cargo access. But, top-notch finishes and attention to detail FTW.
Thank you Rob! We certainly appreciate these critiques and they’ll only help us improve!
Thank you for the feedback
Very nice, looks great. Just what I would like. Just need to get my money together.
Thanks for sharing.
That’s great to hear, Judy! You’re welcome!
You can do it!
