- In this video, I'm showing my ENTIRE van build from start to finish; insulating & carpeting the van, as well as building furniture and adding tons of accessories to make it a unique build. I've turned my Nissan NV200 from a small, empty panel van into cosy, comfortable, affordable tiny camper conversion.

DISCLAIMER: In this video, I am in no way stating that this is the proper way to undertake the conversion of a van, however after research and experience using the van, I believe this to be the way that is best suited to my van and the way I intend to use it. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I've seen hundreds of vans and van builds, but this is one of the most impressive and well-crafted of them.
Thank you, glad you like the build!
I think this is one of the best van builds vids I have watched.This guy has made use of every nook and cranny very clever.😮
I agree 💯
I have to agree! This is the best one yet
This comment exists on every camper van video ever.
Nice build, I love the fact that the van can easily revert back to full size by removing components. Well done I will use some of your ideas as I build my new van.
That was very good idea.
Same. I want to be able to revert to a full van ideally… to have options
Wow thats such a thorough way of insulating, carpeting and woodworking...im impressed with your patience and attention to detail
It takes some work and creativity to do all that. Looks great 😊
Wow, I know you probably already know this, but you’re amazingly talented! Thanks for posting this!
Thank you, that's very kind :)
@@LensOfJames amazing! ...about to start my own NV buildout.....how long did the entire thing take ?
Absolutely the best simple common sense van build ever. I'm moving out of a chevy astro to a nissan nv200 in a couple months and I'm going to build it out like yours. Thanks a lot for the video.
One of the simplest, clean & practical builds I've seen!
Thanks Jim!
if you're interest about these things, look at my camper, the smallest in the world

Thank you for showing this in detail. I hate when i search for van builds and they only give minimal detail or video of the step by step process.
You are so clever, my goodness what beautiful work. WISH YOU WERE MY neighbour's. Do you know how smart gifted you are. Thanks.
This is the perfect van for me
This is incredible! Amazing video and ingenious design. Thank you 👍
Practical and useful information... Here in tropical north Queensland Oz, living in my VW Crafter, much appreciation for your tips on vanlife...
9.5 /10 - I love the simplicity while the build is still very neat with excellent functionality!
You really know what your doing!
What confidence and extra details .
What a great job you have done on this van conversion.
Amazing work James definitely inspired.
It's fab. Love the finish in the wood. Lovely job
What a great build, thank you for sharing.
I’ve converted vans for years but you have used techniques and innovative methods in ways I’ve never seen, or considered, before. I look forward to putting some of them to use myself
Really impressed with your work. Quality van build 👌
Thanks, glad you like it!
I totally agree!!
I'm so impressed by your thoroughness!! Nice job!! 🚐🇨🇦
Amazing use of the space. Given me some great ideas. Thank you for sharing, and great job 👊🏼.
Nice job, the bed is really neat build!!!!
Love the use of the carpet and vinyl which cuts down the weight of the conversion and looks great. Your build was fantastic.
Wow. Amazing seeing this. Super good job making everything super nice.
Really it's a very good job, thank you so much for sharing and... enjoy it!
This is as much effort, and neatness - with optionality as I was seeking. Spot on! Thank you!
Great build, impressive use of space with simple no fuss efficiency!
This is a beautiful build… I love the smaller van sizes. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent work. Great attention to detail and a conversion that can be completed at a reasonable cost. RV prices have gone through the roof lately. I have a travel trailer but I am considering a van sometime in the future for weekend camping. Thank you for the video.
Dang dude, your skills are off the chart and I love all the ideas that you had right down to the cover for your plugins. Very impressive indeed and what a comfy van you have made.
Picking up mine in a week, some really clever ideas. Can’t wait. Thank you.
Excellently done and very inspiring. Thanks for sharing this with us all!
Wonderful build. Not too fancy but very efficient. Well done!
Nice van build. Greetings from Jamaica.

Wow.
Very well crafted.
Simple and creative solutions that totally transformed how the van looks like
Absolutely amazing job this guy did! Wow!!!
Amazing 🤩 nissan van build! That's the van of my dreams.. Thanks for sharing all your niffy tips.. Great filming 👌
It's amazin what a raisin can do, brilliant and interesting.
Just came across your channel!! Amazing what you can do with such a small space!! Really impressed!! Just subscribed 🤗🤗
Excellent build it’s tempting to have a go 👍
Great build and great vid! Lots of nifty ideas for others to adopt. Luv ya work!
Beautiful job, I I enjoy watching 😊 this as I can't do, so easy to just admire!
I really like the conversion in van.. simple and beautiful..
Lots of new and great ideas, thank you!!
What a fabulous and ingenious van build, I had an nv200 4-5 years, I found them an utterly reliable if just a tad small. I am just buying a Vivaro, and fitting it out as a stealth camper/ mtb hauler.
And I found your build inspiring, love the way you finished the carpeting on the doors. And the door pockets are ingenious.. very nice 👍🏻
Awesome. Well done. You make it look ever so easy!
Great compilation of your numerous individual videos!
So excited to pick up my NV tomorrow! Love your set up! Wish I had your skills
Great build with some really clever ideas. Well done!
Great Job! Thanks for this Video and for sharing your ideas! Keep going...
Brilliant job James!!!
Just got my 2010 NV200, and am looking at my rental work unit tomorrow, and then it's war! We're buying land in the Mediterranean, wo will be living in it this time next year.....thanks for this!
Wow great build. Have fun traveling and stay safe.
Great build! I enjoyed the walk through!
Yes!! Thank you I think I can try this on my own!!
Great conversion! Everything seems practical and nice, I hope I will build similar one day!
Very talented. It helped me to decide how I'm going to insulate my van.
I love that everything is so spartan, clever and practical; no unnecessary frills getting in the way. I admit at the first mention of carpet, I knee-jerk cringed a bit but it's done so well it looks clean and cozy.
I like the placement of the bed/couch behind the drive seat.its gonna be the center of my build
wow the carpets look sooo good. extra points for the breathing protection
Excellent video got me excited to buy my first van the nv200 and make my camper great ideas hope your still having fun in it 😊
Great build m8. Absolutely love it has given me so many ideas.
Lovely camper build realy enjoyed thxs
Práctica, económica y cómoda. Lo felicito👍👍👍
Thats an amazing build, well done mate
Cool video. My wife and I watch several of your build videos and you did a fantastic job building out Yogi. You are obviously a very skilled woodworker. This recap is a great idea and really fun to watch. The Nissan NV200 makes a great camper van, we have one also.
Thanks Eric, glad you like the build - hope you're enjoying your van!
This is definitely the most well thought out and executed builds I’ve seen! Might take some inspiration for the 2nd iteration of my Dacia Dokker.
Lovely. It’s great that you’ve kept things nice and simple. Love it. I’d like to something really similar to my Columbus Custom 😊👌👍
I really like your use of automotive carpet, sweet van!
Great job, really well done. Congratulations. 👍👍
Superb video. Clear and precise and great to watch. Lovely van 👌👌
This is great, thanks for all the info. We have an NV200 that we want to convert for a trip across Europe but think I may need some carpentry skills to do anything like you have, Yogi is fab! ❤️
Beutyfull camperbuild 👍, Nice small battery pack
Pure class build!
Excellent, practical build!
Great vid on your build very clear explanation and detailed keep up the great work
Brilliant, exactly what I would like to do myself. I definitely will follow up on others things related to this video.
I don't usually comment videos... But this is a master of work
Thank you! Really helpful, feels like something I might be able to do.
this is so simple and beautiful, I will use your design as my reference :D
Awesome job James.
im so impressed on
how you build small van

Senyor Ricardo
Folding table is inventive. Thanks
Excellent job Well done James
Cracking work there mate. The little touches of routing the edging of the table/cabinet makes it look that good bit more professional. Getting my van end of the week to begin my build!
Thanks, best of luck with your build!
Great video, no nonsense or nattering about nothing 👍 great job you did too. Thanks for sharing
