I really enjoyed this build!-! Re: the gray water odor: instead of installing a p-trap you might want to look up a Hepvo self closing drain. It is available in most plumbing stores and on EBay and its around $25
I much enjoy the more introverted presentation style and attention to detail. Most van vids have loud music and amusing, but sometimes annoying, chit chat. This is exactly what prospective van lifers want to know.
It’s great to see the build process. Ever since your tour video I’ve felt your van is the most practical/functional build I’ve ever seen. Element after element is brilliant. Stunning too!
first time i've seen hemp insulation in one of these... awesome build i love how clean and precise everything turned out this is one of my favorites so far
In order to properly insulate your van. I would recommend covering your entire van with a butyl rubber adhesive mat. Such as second skins or dynamate. The problem you are having during the winter months is that the warm moist air coming from your sweat and breathing is coming in contact with the cold sheet metal. Thus causing those areas to condensate. You need to regulate that moisture with a dehumidifier or directly insulate the the surface of the metal. Make sure you drill some breathing holes in your walls, so the moisture is allowed to vent out. I suggest you should watch a video on how to use a psychometric chart. They are used in HVAC field and it will allow you find at what temperature the moisture in you van will start to condensate.
I am thinking of lining the metal with 3 mil cork glued to the sheet metal body and then using hempflax batts. In a van though not 100% of the body can be reached.
I've watched dozens and dozens of van conversion videos -- this is THE ONE that really resonates with me. A great mix of clever design (my favorite van bed design on the internet, bar none), beautiful aesthetics, and great functionality. The one extra-cool thing on the bed would have been to somehow also make the foot of the bed be able to swivel up at an angle (like the head of the bed does), so that if you ever wanted to lie on the bed "sitting up", looking out the open rear doors (at a sunset, the ocean, whatever), you could. But this is a nit -- your design is beautiful! I want!! :-)
Thank you for explaining the condensation part so well! Most people underestimate the impact of condensation and subsequent mold buildup in van builds!
This is so nicely done, enjoyed watching it. It makes sense to me that ventilation and insulation are the most difficult factors to balance, as you face similar issues in a tent since these are small space living areas. What I also liked is that all was explained with the notion that there are pros and cons to each approach and that you mention the things you would have done differently in hindsight, and no "we did it this way so it has to be the best" which is what many people do. Safe travels!!
The ArtWork inside your Van is Mindblowing !!! Love the HEMP insulation as well HEMP oil effect !!! Bravi !!! Its compact and really beautiful and looks super functional!!! Great job !!!
You have proven that low tech is not the same as cheap. You’re little home is beautiful! What a great job. Your artistry shows on the whole build, not just on the walls.
Thank you for taking your time to show a van build, I appreciate your narration of what works, didn't work, how to make it better and all the consideration.
I haven't finished watching the video yet - saw the intro and had to come comment immediately. Thank you for the clear, concise and honest approach to the video along with the incredible organization you put into the shortcuts! I can already tell this will be an amazing video. Thank you for documenting your process and sharing with us!
I do like what i see and i am glad to finally see an honest video of this proces. It really makes it sound bad, but hearing and possibly learning from the tiny downsides of the methods used for this build might actually mean someone else learns that maybe they will make other choices or come with improvements.
We have a 29' class-C RV. You thought of everything even experienced RV'ers may not think of. Seriously, congratulations on an awesome design and you both can be proud of your accomplishment. Dawn
This was very interesting. Enjoyed listening to how carefully you organised everything. Not a dream to have water pouring in anywhere. Enjoy your van and have many happy days.
Please make a video of your daily life living in this genius van conversion pleaseeeee....like how you cook and work and lounge and stuff. Pleaseeeee love your vids always! 🤗
Out of 50 or so van builds your has every thing I have wanted. The bed configuration and privacy area for the toilet are two things others just don't have. Plus your art work is stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for giving us sustainability nuts a look at some alternative ways to approach tiny living! Honestly so sick of seeing that toxic foam insulation everywhere 😱
Speaking of non-toxic and low odor insulation, you might try Havelock sheep wool batting that wicks moisture and dries fast. It is all natural and sustainable. I saw this on YT video. Google Havelock sheep wool.
The ingenuity people display always amazes me. We are on our second transit Van and we would still make changes. We had the water problem you described but cured it in our second van by adding a vapor barrier. I think you have covered the flow through vents by the rear doors. All vehicles have them somewhere to allow your vehicle heating/ventilation to work. We like what you have done. Great Job.
You inspired me to start my own channel Just want to say thank you for all the hard work you put into making such great content and inspiring me and others like me to change our lives for the better thank you
Great video. FYI: You wont have an issue with condensation at the front if there is not an air gap. The condensation is an issue because the area is not totally filled with insulation. Fill it without a gap and you wont have the moisture.
Thank you so much for this video!! I didn’t know that transits tended to leak. I found 7 holes, including my reversing light and trims! I was just about to put my insulation in, you have saved me a world of trouble. I also love the inset cupboard idea, give extra storage and less space to fill with my insulation! Such a massive help, honestly, thank you so so much
I'll probably "age" myself here- but it reminds me of the van in the Cheech & Chong movie "Up in Smoke"......the part where they get pulled over by the cop, haha.
What can you say about this build but...WOW! You two put in such tremendous effort to make this van totally unique and down to that fabulous humpback whale on the wall. I am from Maui and my love for humpback whales is deep having dived near them to watch them play. I own a '19 GMC Savana 2500 cargo van and have it temporarily rigged for overland camping. However, in a year or so I will begin living in it to travel the lower 48 and up to Alaska. I have no carpentry, electrical or even build experience but I have to start somewhere. Magnificent job on your van!
This is awesome. As a side note I dont think I've heard a single video from a Canadian where they don't use the word process haha. It only sticks out to me because of the different pronunciation. I love you guys!!!!
Such a great build! The ideas, execution, the wood working, materials and finishes are all perfect. Also nice to hear " in hindsight" comments too, the things we learn along the way. Really well thought-out and minimal fit out, haven't seen a few of the ideas in this video in any other van video and it's great initiative on your behalf.
This is truly the most helpful van building video I’ve ever seen. Most just show the process of the build, but you actually explained everything perfectly. Thank you!!
FINALLY someone figured out the benefits of a north south facing bed. No climbing over each other at night or morning to get out of bed. Excellent designs! 👍
Probably the best DIY van build I've seen. Great job you two! Would be nice to see an update video in a year or so to see how everything is holding up and if you would change anything. TFS!:)
This is by far the best van conversion video I have seen, and I have watched lots. I have just retired after a lifetime of teaching science and really want to hit the road in a van. You gave tons of clear information without pouring out your feelings about how you feel and what you had for breakfast today. (I hope you feel great and had a lovely breakfast today, it just has nothing to do with the van conversion). Keep up the good work. Pat Duff Dublin, Ireland.
This is so beautiful. I have the same van, and have done a "no build" set up in mine. Thank you for such a detailed video with your processes so well detailed! I would love to perhaps have mine done like this one day! I have a question, it seems like the wood would be very heavy. Does it cause any issues with the um, driving strength of your van engine? (I hope that made some kind of sense) and does it lower gas milage? Thank you if you get the opportunity to reply.
For the roof Solar cabling, the part you would want to buy is called a Liquid Tight Conduit Nipple, they work great, and then can just use a tiny bit of caulking as needed.
Though I watched the tour awhile back, there were several things I don’t remember seeing on the tour. The wire props for the cabinets, for example, are a neat touch that is made even better with the magnets. I have a roll of 12ga wire that could work (and it is handy) and I would like to borrow her idea. I was ready to rip out the cabinet doors and use bungee but it would not have been as effective with spices and small things. Plus, the cabinet door fronts are a cleaner look for my herbs, spices and randomness like metal tea filters that can’t seem to get along with forks. Is it possible to insulate the metal to such a degree that it is not effected by heat in the interior to minimize the temperature differences and thus minimizing the condensation? Thanks for the tip on the leaky transits. I was always ruling out the Ford because the upfront costs of ordering one was ridiculously expensive. But kept eyeing them and wasn’t sure that I liked the slope of the roof but did like the height. I don’t have the resources I think you might have to give me detailed issues with each manufacturer but haven’t searched in awhile. I have an E150 that is only okay for my needs. Have even been looking at something bigger for a few of our specialized requirements. But I really like what you have done and will borrow a few ideas with your permission. Thanks for the detailed follow up. I keep liking your van more and more!
Considering to build a van next year once I have some money saved up! It's been my dream for many years as a climber, but I have 0 experience with this kind of stuff. Thank you so much for the video, made it more realistic and less intimidating!
We love the cork idea! What size granulated cork did you use? And, how much did you order? Our van should be delivered in August and we will be getting started on the build. Great videos!
I can see a lot of issues with this van that probably already started happening. No pea traps for your sink and toilet which means your van is gonna stink to the high heavens and that little computer fan won't save you. I don't want to sound disrespectful but that entire toilet system is awful. Your subflooring probably isn't attached properly because you were blindly trying to screw it to the studs. Also a screw wouldn't hold onto the insulation stuff that you use. Another thing is the walls will probably fail over time from the constant moving around while driving as it's mostly held up with pl premium. Otherwise everything else actually doesn't look bad.
Thank you for watching! The full tour of the finished van is here if you want to take a peek: th-cam.com/video/4p-GG5eenUk/w-d-xo.html
This is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
use the spray foam barrier around the windows, and use the hemp insulation everywhere else.
U should share your information with the school bus rentervators
I really enjoyed this build!-!
Re: the gray water odor:
instead of installing a p-trap you might want to look up
a Hepvo self closing drain. It is available in most plumbing stores and on EBay and its around $25
What a great artist!!! Have you sold any of your art work before? Really lovely drawings.
"We are not professionals" yet looks better than commercial class b vans

Do you put the rubber in front or behind the insulation?
Or a textured coating like Lizard Skin to act as a thermal break
I am thinking of lining the metal with 3 mil cork glued to the sheet metal body and then using hempflax batts.
In a van though not 100% of the body can be reached.
Okay then wise guy
Thank you
This was really informative and helpful, makes building a van like this seem real and obtainable rather than a farfetched dream. Thank you!

Those magnetic screen curtains for occasional use would be neat. Otherwise just sit outside in camp chairs & enjoy. Moonlight in bed though...
So you are claiming you have watched every van conversion on the internet? LOL
splendid job! you get extra points for adding a bathroom, the inset shelving, the mechanical plumbing the pivoting tables, and the natural product use
This is the most honest, detailed, and helpful build video I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing.

Shout out to Danielle's family. Some real MVP'S in that family.
definitly man so true
I like the low power approach and the simple bathroom .
I'd been contemplating a similar design/concept for a van bed. Seeing how well executed yours is has definitely made me think I should follow through!
The overhead cabinets are great. The magnet and wire brace🤯, simple and light
