I am very happy ❤ I decided not to have a shower in the van, I can use the gym, truck stops or senior centers. I do have a shower hose hook up in the garage but that’s mainly for rinsing off my inflatable kayak.
What a beautiful van! The colours, the layout, super! A twin bed is perfect and saves you so much space. I also think the toilet is great, it does the job. You can also order a powder for wee-wee on the internet or a kind of ‘paper strip’ that contains the same thing as a nappy. They bind the pee into a kind of pee pudding. Then you can simply pee in the bin bag in the toilet and dispose it with the rubbish. I think the solution with the cool box under the sofa is great. I hope you have lots of fun with your van and that you get to see everything you want.
Hey Jonnie! I've been busy these days and just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten you and your wonderful channel. My art is taking off and I am partnering with a kindred spirit to make tiny homes. I'm so excited!!! Love you all!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you, Jonnie did a wonderful job building her out. To answer your comment on the microwave. In New York I wanted to get my build insured so I looked into RV insurance. They would cover me if I had: 1-built in bed 2-built in fridge 3-full water system (sink, freshwater tank hookup) 4- built in cooking appliance ( cooktop or microwave) I chose the microwave because I can use it as a cabinet 😊
I seen your builds they never disappoint. How do people afford to buy a van and build them out. This has been a dream of mine for a long time. I wish!!!! Beautiful work as always, Jonnie.
Thank you so much. Some clients share their financial stories but most don't. I do try to give them a rough estimate so that they know if they can afford the build.
Having a complete build was something I gave a lot of thought to. If you can’t afford the complete build start with an empty shell and do what you can when you can. No one says your dream has to be done all at once. I started out in a dodge grand caravan from a car auction. Then did a no build. I traveled in that for vacations, and I found the things that I liked, and the things that I did not. When it came time for me to upgrade my vehicle, I went through my checklist of things that I didn’t like about the vehicle I had been traveling in,and the priority was I wanted to stand up. 😂 I went and looked at used vehicles. This is not a new vehicle. I found one in Facebook. Looking for the vehicle took a lot of time because in my area there’s not a lot to choose from. The van had a no build-build already in her and it was months before I booked an appointment with Jonnie to sit down and discuss my dream. Don’t dash your dreams, just go one small step at a time. Good luck and hope to see you on the road ❤
Loving the color scheme. The soft close drawers are nice too. I like the hideaway toilet. Nice bit of counter top space for cooking. Looks pretty darn perfect to me. It must be so satisfying to hear the joy in the voices of those happy with a van that you built or helped build out.
What a beautiful van!! So bright and cheerful. I really like this lady's way of thinking with her traveling plan. I've never been to the Grand Canyon either. It's on my bucket list. Happy travels Jane! Jonnie, you're awesome!!
Jane, your van looks marvelous. I am so happy for you. Love your decor. Jonnie (and the team) always do a great job and make it unique to the customer!! Such wonderful skills all of them.
7:50 You did a amazing job on this build. Love this. And even a place for her sister to sleep. 😂just the look at Janes face tells you of her joy on the build Congratulations Jane glad you're dream came true. Enjoy
Jane, you did a great job with this interview. I love the added rope decorations. You are going to have a wonderful time traveling. I hope to meet up with you soon. ❤
Yayyy 🎉❤I love it Jane. What a difference from when you showed me your van last summer. It absolutely beautiful. Jonnie has done it yet again woohoo 🙌🏻. 🤗🩵💎
Love this build ! Simplistic and lots of room. Your decor is SUPERCOOL ! Lovin the Mermaid too. So HAPPY for you Jane ! Jonnie and Crew - Way to knock #13 build OUT OF THE PARK !!
I just bought a 2015 promaster 2500 high roof. I'm going back and watching videos to get ideas on how to build it out. The electrical totally overwhelms me.
I was actually considering purchasing a 2 by 3 by 2 stock tank as a shower stall toilet holder that I could simply make a fold-up front table top🎉 then the van Builder put in the two grey water tanks and on the Mercedes you don't have a whole lot of choice the one behind the driver's seat doesn't have a whole lot of clearance it's got enough but not for an oval tank😮 at least not without different angles in a drain pipe😂 so I was looking at a Cedar Chest that I made 50 years ago and realize that I could use it exactly like the cabinet that she hides her toilet in the only difference is I'll be able to move the toilet out stand in it put up a little shower curtain and a solar shower bag or a 12-volt pump out of a bucket🎉 I don't get this hot and cold water Plumbing going all over a van for what in essence is the same 3 gal 3-minute shower I'll get out of a bucket or a solar shower bag. Makes the insurance companies happy😂😂 does anybody have a specific favorite waterproofing material? I thought about having my neighborhood welder just make me a little shower pan hopefully at least 6 or 8 inches high that I can just drop down right inside they already made chest😮 lots of good ideas thanks ladies❤
Jonnie, you created Jane’s dream van. Excellent work by everyone involved! Jane ( my little sister) I could not be happier for you. You always do for others , I’m so happy you made your dream come true for yourself ! Now…. hit the road and don’t look back❤️🚐🚐. It’s nice to know that thought to make a spot for me❤. I LOVE YOU❤️
Thanks Mary❤ You started all this with showing me this new lifestyle way back in 2018. Hope we can do some traveling together with either one van or both us driving our own vans 🚐🚐
It's so cute! And you can live in a forest but it feels like home!
I am here for the Bluetti. 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉Watched before but may not have commented. Love this. Wish my transit looked this nice.
Thank you
Where's her shower?? She looks happy.. good job ❤
I am very happy ❤
I decided not to have a shower in the van, I can use the gym, truck stops or senior centers. I do have a shower hose hook up in the garage but that’s mainly for rinsing off my inflatable kayak.

Oh, that sounds like the perfect pee solution. Thanks for watching
Thank you, I I actually do have the powder to help with the Pee when the occasion is needed.❤
Thank you ❤
I do like Jane's ceiling color and the valance at the back doors made of the same material as the ceiling.
Thank you Clara
Thank you ❤
Look at Jane, she’s so comfortable in her van and on camera now too! Nice looking van, pretty color! Big power banks are nice to have.
Thank you, I’m hoping for many wonderful years in her.
Amen they are. Thanks Deborah

I just bought a 2015 promaster 2500 high roof. I'm going back and watching videos to get ideas on how to build it out. The electrical totally overwhelms me.
Great build. Still debating on putting windows in.

Keep bouncing ideas off of people and you will come up with a great plan.
I have used the flex seal printable sealer before. Thanks for watching Judy
I'm looking at medium roof Ford Transit vans. How tall are you? I want to make sure I can stand up in one. Thank you! (Beautiful van)!
I am 5'6"
Hi thank you. I’m 5’2” .
I would love to have this build for me, but need to find the van. What was the price to build out? Need to know if I have enough money to get it done.
email me and I will give you some numbers Janet. midwestvanbuilders@gmail.com
It’s a wonderful build ❤
Can you tell me how much this conversion was?
Send me an email @midwestvanbuilders@gmail.com and I will let you know
Thank you for asking, Jonnie can help you with that❤
Beautiful van. Why did insurance want a microwave? Crazy
Progressive insurance is the only one I have seen want this. Jane has the RV insurance.
Is this the 130 wheelbase?
No it is the 148 👍
Jonnie, you created Jane’s dream van. Excellent work by everyone involved! Jane ( my little sister) I could not be happier for you. You always do for others , I’m so happy you made your dream come true for yourself ! Now…. hit the road and don’t look back❤️🚐🚐. It’s nice to know that thought to make a spot for me❤. I LOVE YOU❤️
