"I shower once a week... which may not seem like a lot for people living in ...homes" hahaha "but for someone living on the road full time, it's ...adequate" I love it. Great video! Great RV!
When we were kids once a week was what everybody did.Saturday night , lol. Clean for Sunday.
Brilliant design is a huge understatement. I am a licensed and accomplished engineer with 47 years of experience. I know what I am looking at. The design throughout is genius. No question in my well-educated mind. Your work is genius. Good for you. You are the best design engineer in terms of step-van space. The very best. I am very good but could not accomplish what you have done. Pure genius.
That dowel and eyelet system for holding the doors closed is brilliant, simple but I never would have thought of that in a million years.
After watching a few hundred tour vids, seeing something different doesn't happen very often. Hes got a couple of different things going on that I hadn't seen before.
agreed. love his lift gate and evaporative cooler
Yes! The evap cool! Was happy to see that along w the 53gal freshwater and full shower. And it being a step van! Which we see often on this channel but not others in my experience!
@@SevenWanderstheWorld Thank you for showing me this option!
I was hoping for a link about up above but didn't find one, so here's the one I found to help others to get info: www.turbokool.net/product-p/2b-0001-turbokool-swamp-cooler.htm
You made me chuckle when you pointed out how cute your mini wood burning stove is.
Your RV, is lovely and without any wasted space on the inside.
If I saw this RV, I would have never been the wiser about the interior.
it is a wonderful build!
What a cool setup. I like the residential elements he put in. Kind of a cabin on wheels vibe.
Duane’s rig is cool. It’s cosy and neat, just like a cabin. Duane’s a cool man too.
Now I want a lift gate on the back of my van. No question that is a great job. A shower, not usually part of the picture. It photographs like a mountain cabin. I'm impressed. I'm sure the photographer's skill goes a long way on how good this looks.
Really nice conversion - so many favorites - love the wood burning stove - "Thank you" for sharing your home!
Duane, what a beautiful job you did! Happy travels Duane!
Lovely man and van.
"And it's cute!" I love this guy. Great rig.
Out of all the Step Van Conversions I’ve seen, Dewaynes Van is the very best. Not only does he have all of the bells and whistles of any great RV but he took the time and detail to make the interior living space look and feel like a home. The wood paneling and the earthy tones and color schemes make the inside feel like a lovely home or really nice cabin. I absolutely loved what he did with the space and style of vehicle he has chosen to convert into a mobile home. Excellent job!
The swamp cooler looks great for desert living.
DIY desert swamp cooler?:
Hang some wet tee shirts under a Fantastic Fan and spray the shirts regularly to keep them wet?
That was one of your best videos. I loved Dwayne's creativity.
In my eyes this is living LARGE in the most important ways.
I totally agree 😎👍
I don't understand why an RV company hasn't picked up on this it's perfect in every way for single people. I just Love it
Where is the toilet ?
@@floswason8776 Duane had a small shovel hanging on the back of the vehicle! 👍🕳 or 🪣. Easy solution for No 2’s! 😉
Duane great job on your house truck.. i Love your ideas on using IKEA and love your idea on just keeping it simple
Thank you
it is a great design
My favorite part is when he says the camper is cute :)
I thought he was just calling his little wood heater cute... :)
Wow!Outstanding.10x the build quality of a traditional RV and I'm sure thousands less.What an awesome purpose built rig. Well done video Seven,thank you.
That is such an amazing job that he did on his build (IKEA will be my best friend whenever I start on my build) LOL ... His step camper looks so comfortable to live in... he has everything... shower, A/C and heat.. (home sweet home) All he needs now is a door bell hahaha (just kidding)
When I grew up in Va. I remember my grandmother had a wood burning stove in the living room... (it was large) and it worked really well. Duane can even put a bunk over his bed for grandchildrens to sleep if he has any... my plans are to have enough sleeping space to take my grandchildren on adventures with me when they are on school vacation.
GOOD JOB DUANE :)
one of the step vans I toured earlier, built by Gabriel, did actually have a house door and door bell. but, Duane's rig is nicely built!
Love seeing Tall Guy's builds. If I ever build my own, I will want a tall box or step van for head clearance purposes.
Duane has the NEATEST step van I have ever seen!! Tell him "job well done"!
Beautiful build; quite comfortable and homey. I was never certain about a step van, but seeing this, I believe I could be happy in one. I'll add them to my list of "sure, maybe!"
That is an exceptional build which will provide years of service. Wow!!!
Duane resembles The Dude in all the best ways! Love it, and love his rig!
Duane, your van is amazing. I love the inside and really love the motorcycle transport space. You've given me some great ideas. Thanks for sharing. Be Well and Free!!
Great build, very well thought out, no wasted space...!
By far, the best box van conversion I've ever seen Seven! Thank you for sharing!
This is really a wonderful home. This is what you call a home with the works. Duane you did an awesome job. Looks like an everyday vacation home. Thanks for the tour.
Duane did a nice job of building out his conversion. It is very cozy and functional with a cabin-like feel!
He has that van dialed in perfect for his needs and he seems like a cool easy going guy .
It's safe to say that everything works very well and he likes it. I agree.
You got a very nice tiny apartment on wheels, great job.
Dwayne built a fantastic, well thought out rig. Wonderful craftsmanship, and the motorcycle! This guy is living the dream. Seven, I always enjoy your TH-cam wok, but this was one of your best!
thx Janelle. I thought Duane did an amazing job on his rig!
Thanks Seven. He did a wonderful job of his van . Good thing every one has different ideas.
What a gorgeous home! He did a great job. Thanks for sharing Seven.
Super nice stepvan conversion, well designed and built. Beautiful in person
Duane, you made such a beautiful build! Congrats to you, and happy RVing!
Duane, you have a beautiful home. GOD bless.
If you ever see Dwayne again you'll need to congratulate him on behalf for a really clean build. It's a very nice balance of practical, frugal and comfortable.
I wish there are these kind of step van vehicles back in my country. Such an ideal shape to be made into a camper.
I love the way u have put everything in place, Will done,happy journey to u
It’s a beautiful build Duane, happy times to you!
A brilliant gentleman and thinker.
Duane is a great guy and has lots of skills
Very nice. Thanks Duane and Seven!
What an awesome van Duane has and thanks so much for showing bro. All the very best
He has got a nice Step Van build, and double thumbs up on that water filtration system for drinking water since not many people have those in their vans.
very true. I'm planning on getting a Berkey filter system sometime in 2019 but don't have cash for it at the moment
Fantastic job, Duane. Thanks for allowing us to see your home.
Very brilliant set up. Best I've seen of many lay outs. Thanks for showing us. Your skills and practical knowledge are a credit to you.
Brilliant design features in a beautiful rig! (@ 12:00 "..and it's CUTE!")
Duane, your home is lovely, great use of space, it doesn't feel cramped at all. Thank you for sharing ! Lots of good ideas!
Very nice. You'd never know you were inside a stepvan by that beautiful interior. It's nicer than some expensive tiny homes I've seen. Great work. 👍🏻
I believe step vans can be true tiny homes with an engine and rival the builds we all see on TV and TH-cam
All the vid's of DIY conversions I've been viewing from tear drops to buses....this is Definitely - to me one of the absolute Best. Very Simple set-up. Also importantly addresses the issue of a motorcycle(s). Not what I expected from the beginning. He's hanging the bike out back and not bringing it into to living area. This is a plus. Thank You Duane & SW/W.
his system makes it easy to move a giant bike like that
This is what I call truly living and riding free! Living the dream!! I'm wondering what the ceiling height is inside. Looks like he just has a few inches to spare. I am in love with this build! So well thought out and perfect use of space! It's just beautiful! I'm very envious! The fact that the motorcycle tows so perfectly in the back blows me away! I used to ride and have been telling my husband I want another bike. This makes it doable for me! We have every intention of retiring on the road in this manner. So glad I got to see this beauty!
I'm going to watch this again--so many new ideas! The step van looks like a great option!
Fabulous Job! Love your color choices also.
Incredible build Duane. Well thought out. Looks very livable. Enjoy your life.
This is a great build - one of my favourites.
Very nice rig you got there Duane... Nicely put together using nice materials - excellent! Thanks Seven for doing the Video, great as usual.... Ciao.
Dowel locking system excellent, dual purpose everywhere, Very impressive mixture of high tech &low tech solutions, Van to be proud off.
I agree. I like his dowel locks system
Holy moly! This build looks stunning.
This is the best conversion I’ve seen so far. It looks very livable
Brilliant build! Very clean and practical. The max air fan with the swamp fan feature gave an idea. Go get one 😊
Ive watched many videos. A step van like Duane's will fit my needs the best. Very nice set up !
Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Love the simple eyelet/dowel solution to things getting loose and flying around the home when driving.
Oh I'm in love with this van. 💖
Beautiful conversion! Exactly the kind of conversion I am looking to do. Just lovely 😊
Great job!!! LOVE THIS! You made the most of all your space.
A very comfortable van to live full time! Stay safe!
One of the best interiors I've seen, love the van idea too , durable.
I love this! Especially the little wood stove in the corner, and the copper heat shield for your stovepipe! That looks great! I could live in that comfortably! It's very nice!
Nice tour, I like his layout as well I might have to look into doing one like his
Beautifully done; love the use of natural wood everywhere, though personally I'd curve some of the sharp edges because I'm a klutz and tend to run into things. I liked the placement of the bed-- that's very cozy back there. Might be interesting to make one of those windows into an emergency hatch, only openable from the inside... The woodburning stove was very well mounted, and I loved the copper heat-reflector! Nice work.
Awesome build! Love the lift gate for the Harley and the "cute"cubic mini. Thanks for sharing.
Well done guys. Great rig Duane and great editing Seven.
Well done! Incredibly classy step van, just love it!
Step van is bright and sunny and BEAUTIFUL. The most beautiful and functional step van ever!!!
it is a beautiful build!
Beautiful and smart!
That is a great home, those curtains are everything
You, sir, are a steely-eyed RV man. Excellent work. Factories are incapable of that kind of quality. BRAVO!
Wow, that guy's home is beautifully designed, I just love it. That was a well conducted interview, you just let him do it, wonderful, thank you.
Inside looks great. Very comfortable .
I like a guy that just tells it like it is. Super build..Enjoy!!
What a beautiful conversion!
This is one of the best builds I've come across. He did a great job
Wonderful build - seems very homey and comfortable.
Duane. Your place is awesome....you do great work...looks like a wonderful way to spend your life.... best wishes and safe travels.
A good genuine guy and a great built. Well done brother
Loving the motorcycle setup!!
Wow! Great job!
Fantastic step van conversion! As a rider I love the ability to carry your bike. My former partner welded old bed frames to the back our RV to carry our HD. Clocked lots of miles before he passed.
Great solar system & wood stove & on demand water heater.
It's all about the adventures in life; enjoy! 🏍😊
That’s a great, very well-thought-out conversion!
Duane ,what a hell of job you did ,home on wheels and your wife on the back porch ,your my new hero .PS . 5,3 chevy engine are great motors.
Nice durable functional really have much of everything..and those barn door makes look even better air fan just great ... Thanks for sharing...
Great format for a rig tour. And a cool rig too.
I've watched many of your tours this is by far the nicest most practical
I'm in love with this build. So many elements to this that are so functional and well thought out. Duane is so cool too! :)
Duane has some fantastic build skills
Wow very beautiful van! I like the door being near the drivers seat That is what I would want on mine as well as maybe one on the back but the front is more appealing. I love the contrast of light and where the wood is placed. It is very beautiful. Thank you Duane for sharing your beautiful home with us!
In between showers: make 16 oz tea with one bag of peppermint tea. Use in a hand spritzer. Clean and refreshing.
Really? I have never heard of that...I guess it's my "something new" that I learned today. Thanks for sharing this tip!
Rebecca I've never heard that one before. Sounds like it would really be a great way to stay fresh in between times. I'm going to test this idea out for sure! I use wet wipes from Aldi's but if I can reduce waste in any way, I'm all for it! Thanks!
@Bill DeProspero Bill, I'm gonna try this as well. I am all about reducing waste which actually the plastic that deodorant comes in is all recyclable, which is nice, but on the road, which is where I will be in a few years, recycling won't be as easy as far as storage goes.Glad you posted about this idea.
Rose water also! For those areas where the sun don’t shine😬and add to spritzer and spray hair. It smells sooo good. It smell as though you’ve put on a light refreshing perfume. The Arabic markets sell them. They also have orange, licorice, mint etc., water. No harsh chemicals just the plant extract and water !!
I used to do that as a diy face toner. W a few extra things but stripped down lile that sometimes too. And u r rigggggght! So refreshing and my skin was baby soft and clear!
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing. Love & Light
