We're Trent and Allie in Salt Lake City, Utah. After many weekend trips and months of final touches, we set sail in our new home to explore the pacific northwest. We fully converted our 2017 Ram Promaster into a modern, minimalist tiny home. A couple ingenious space-saving techniques helped make this small space perfect for us and our pup, Frank.

I love this van... it's possibly my favorite that I've seen. Your design decisions are brilliant and I'm definitely subscribing to see where your adventures take you!
Awesome Tim!!! Glad to take you along on our journeys!!
TimNummy I'll second that thought!
i second this... very nice.... super couple... have fun
I third this comment ! 😊😊😊
Harry Reese - wow!! But lampshades are needed to make a cosyier light (especially in the back)
I’ve been following Trent n Allie for about a year now, but... Oh my gosh, I just came across this 3 year old video of you guys. Trent seems the same but Allie sounds so young. So cute. ❤️
I just found this video in August 2020. Fun to see how shy Allie was back then.
I have been looking at van builds for the past month and this is by far the best one I come across, the way everything is so thoughtfully done. Kudos to you guys.
Thanks 😇
Just watched this again after covid. You guys have come a long way. What fun!
You can tell how much more comfortable they have gotten in front of the camera!
Love the van. All my life I dreamed of traveling. Got married and thought we would travel. Had a baby and thought we would finally travel but our son was to sick. By the age of nine he was better and thought we would finally travel (divorced by this time). But I was diagnosed with progressive MS. Had many years of therapy to learn to walk, now I would travel (son living with father). I fell due to MS and broke my neck, paralyzed from waist down. NOW I watch great young people such as yourselves travel and I am so happy that I get to go along!!! I will travel eventually, my time has just not been right. Anyway, thanks for the information, well thought out videos and fun personalities! Oh your pup is wonderful too. When I travel, I will have seven cats! Not sure how that will all work out. Travel safe and as my mom always said to me, be careful backing up. 😁😁
I am so happy that we could take you along for the ride. I hope you subscribe and watch all our videos so we can take you along on all our journeys!!! I hope one day you have a van with 7 cats that can travel the country too!!! best wishes.
So sorry to hear about all your set-backs but happy that you're still moving and looking forward to make the best of your life. Here's a resource you may find helpful: www.handicappedtravelclub.com/ Sending you love + light.
K. G., did u see the resource website this kind person left for you? I tagged u jic u missed that.
I wish you many hours of viewing great adventures on YT and hope you are able to travel in the future.
K.G. hope you get that dream trip in. (I hope this is not too intrusive) please keep a journal and blog about where you have been. You have a natural inspirational style of writing that works well for personal literature.
U can do it. U will.
Really creative design. For a guy who claims not to do carpentry, you did a great job. The bed/desk/couch is the best I have seen.
Thank you!! I'm no carpenter but i am a perfectionist haha
The carpentry is fantastic! I am going to do a basic woodworking course next year, ready for van life. I will use this van conversion as inspiration. I've saved the video and subscribed.
@@TrentandAllie That bench desk was the ultimate. I wish for tiny house living but not yet. But I want to use some of your ideas in my home.
These guys have changed A loT in the past couple of years, but certain things remained the same, just look at his side and her side of the clothing cabinet!! :D This video was really fun to watch, thank you guys.
Love the layout and y'all's 1st van TOGETHER!! After following y'all(I'm from the mountains of N.C.😅) for years now, i still enjoy going back and watching old videos!!! Lol! The ending..."subscribe please, please subscribe and subscribe please!" Lol! 471,000 subs later, people are breaking their thumbs to be the 1st👍😂😂 Congrats on a wonderfully accomplished TH-cam channel!! And a beautiful baby boy🤗💖🤗
love the design...very unique. Hit us up when you make it to CANADA
Thanks will do
Eamon & Bec ввпоолшнекдж
Ncooooh🥰
Lol funny how I was watching this thinking “cool build, but still not my favourite”. Then realized my actual favourite is your newer van’s video
Wow! Watching some old videos. Today is July 8, 2019, two years after this video was posted. What a difference 2 years makes. ❤
Same here, I'm just now watching it. I love both of their vans. This one has much more light and space then the new one. But, the shower/toilet/closet room in the new one is A++.
Watching during the Great Indooring May 2020 ... been watching these guys off and on for the past 2 years and thought today .... where did it all begin?
As Biking Buddies!
I have never added a comment on van build videos before but this one is just brilliant, it looks so spacious. I just bought a short bus, am almost 70, and some physical disabilities, so I am going to need help making my little bus a home; being able to share your video when I find someone to help me, will be very helpful because I love everything about it. Thanks for sharing!!
Well thank you!! We’re honored you commented on our video!! Good luck with your build 😊
I accidentally came across your Channel... I'm in my sixties and 1 to get a van and build it out for me and my pup of 8 years... You inspire me both thank you
That’s awesome Raymond!! Glad you found us
the bed couch and table set is a brilliant idea, cheerio
I can't believe how much your camera work has improved and how much more comfortable you are in front of the camera!
Wow, biggest little van I’ve ever seen. This design is absolutely excellent.
that is really coil guys, you just inspired a disabled person to just do it, thanks guys.
Thats so awesome to hear!! Thats a mission accomplished for us! we wish you the best of luck!
Just finished your latest video and had to go back to your first videos. When you mentioned that this channel was originally for mountain biking. Wow, you guys have come a long way. From debating on living van life to building a cabin in the mountains. Congratulations on all of your hard work and dedication, thank you for keeping me entertained through covid!
I love your van. Keep up all your creative ideas, and beautiful work.I pray that God continues to bless the both of you and keep you! Enjoy your journey, I appreciate your sharing.
I have watched dozens of hours of van dwelling videos. This was BY FAR the best video and build out!
Julie Stein thank you!! That means so much
What a fantastic design. The thought put into it makes even a 60 sq ft vehicle feel more spacious
rebecca snable thank you 😊
Wow! That bed is ingenious! It builds and breaks down so freaking fast.
Whoa what a nice treat to see when you both began Van life. Have enjoyed watching your travels this past year in your new van during Covid. Thank you so much for sharing your life with me.
i like how you had to clarify “just food not humans guys”
I have been watching van conversion videos for a couple of months and this is one of the best thought out conversion vans I have seen congratulations .
J.G. Conumdrum thanks man!!! That makes me feel really good!!! 😊
Wild to see how far you've come. I actually found this video in my suggestion after watching a lot of your recent videos, and it was half-watched. The amount of improvement and how comfortable you are on camera now is truly inspiring.
Yeah we have come a long way! that’s for sure
Wow! I can’t believe you got all that in a short van. Very clever, great job!
Thank you! It was hard work for sure
You guys are adorable! Love the brilliant idea of the bed / dinning / office/ lounge setting! The van is perfectly designed for you both. Thanks for sharing.... I'm certainly looking forward for the next update!
Thank you Latada. Glad to have you. If you subscribe and go to the channel page,( th-cam.com/users/tntmtb ) you should see a lot of our other videos
A true master piece of engineering when it comes to design, layout and thoural use of the space throughout the entire van.
Critic, the use of acid batteries underneath of their bed.
Thanks Eloy 😊
Young man you are what is known in my generation as a keeper. Well done!
Thanks glad you approve! I definitely plan on keeping him ;) -allie
Das habt ihr wirklich toll hinbekommen! Wir sind bereits seit vielen Jahren mit unterschiedlichen Fahrzeugen unterwegs und es macht immer noch Spaß. Aus Deutschland herzlichste Grüße und euch beiden weiterhin viel Freude beim Ausprobieren.
+Rolf Ebel any way you can translate this to English for me?
Perfect build minus not having a bathroom!!
Beautiful job!
My husband and I are building out a promaster 2500 high top next spring. This gave me some inspiration!
Great! I'm glad to be your inspiration. you'll love the promaster, they're awesome.
Who else started swatting at the bugs in the video thinking that they were in your room? Shout out to HD technology lol
Oh my babies looked so young in this video. Now they are an old married couple! Still my favorite
I have forgotten how genius way this van-build was made. That pull-up table and the way the double bed converts to sittings.
I started to see all your vlogs over again, because of the reunion with The Nomadic Movement just now ❤
That's very clever the way you've made good use of not only the space in the van but also your skills. Well done!
Thanks Betty!! So glad you like it :)
Amazing!!!! Super smart design & I can't believe those are your first cabinets! Thx for sharing your creativity with us!!!!!
Love going back and watching older videos on channels I love. So crazy to see how much has changed for y'all in just 4 years.
Hello amigos. Once again I watch Tony Vansa. Long long ago. I can’t believe I’ve been following you for just s little under 3 years. Remember when you posted videos 3 times a week. Or was hard for me to get used to watching you 2 times a week, I’m used to it now, don’t go to 1 day a week cause I will cry 6 days a week lol. ❤️.
But have you come a long way! It’s was good back then, now, you are better than National Geographic. 👍.
Love you guys, love the content, love your story telling.
I
Fantastic build! Hard to believe you didn't have woodworking experience. I hope it takes you on an amazing journey.
sbuxlisacolonysq thanks I'll take that as a compliment! I tried really hard to make it nice. We're on an the adventure right now!! If you haven't already, check out the other videos
Very good taste on interior decor. Your right about small details like coffee mugs and picture frames and cool sink they make it feel more like a home and less like a van.
Very much so!!
The bed area/bench/desk/storage is amazingly ingenious.
+tcscushing thank you
Came back to look at this again. Nice to see how far you have come. Your van designs get better and better.
I have been watching your latest van build and you have done a fantastic job. This is the van we have been looking at to purchase. Thanks for all the info.
Wow. What you've done with this space is incredible. One of my favorites so far. It looks huge - couldn't believe it was only 60 sq ft! Very inspiring. Have fun out there!
Thank you!! :)
That built-in dog kennel is GENIUS!
+Natassia Marchbanks thank you 😁
I love the care and affection you show your dog. I like dogs more then people so I was truly impressed. Your van is perfect. So organized and clean. Thanks for sharing.
+martha petru thanks we tried really hard! And yes Frank is #1 in our book
Love, love, love your van!!! You give me hope that with my lack of experience, I will be able to build mine. I'll be snagging A LOT of your design. It's the best I've seen and I've watched many van build videos. Thanks for posting...safe travels.
+Angela Starcher awesome! I'm glad to have been an inspiration to you!! Also glad you subscribed. Thank you and good luck on your build
This is stellar!!! Great job, it looks like a pro tiny house interior! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!! I worked really hard to make it seem like a home inside.
That is a wonderful build and I'm very impressed with the planning that went into it! The versatility of the Bed/Couch/Desk/Dining Table is amazing and the bonus pen for Frank is genius! Even the storage for the extra activities was on point. You two have done an amazing job of creating warm and inviting Home on 136 inches. Thank you for making Vanlife Enticing!
Aww... five years later... it is adorable to watch you guys and how much you have grown as a couple and the channel... and baby Frank!! OMG, where you are today is amazing from this start in the journey of Trent and Allie ( With Lika and Leo now)
Really nice place!!! Great storage, too. So glad to see your use of a toaster oven & induction burner. I think using propane in a car, van, etc is just nuts. Seriously good job!
thevintage vixen thanks!!!
need more pics of the dog! Nice layout and love the desk setup.
yep thanks!!! Frank will be gettin more screen time in videos to come 😎 stay tuned
Totally agree, the desk and dog are awesome! Actually it's all cleverly done.
yep yes always utilised your dog you will get more views 😍
I agree with the other comments that say "The Best Build I've seen,". Trust me, I've been watching every day for over a year😍
Have Safe and Fun Travels❣
Thank you Melissa!! That's very kind of you. We tried to make it as nice as possible.
One of the best outlays for a van that I have seen... if not THE best! Well done.
thanks so much!!
Damn, that's awesome! Conversion bit starts at 13:00 for those that don't have the time. It's worth watching the whole video though
Thank you :)
Ive seen many van conversions and this one is Genius. Great work!
+swissglobetrotter thank you
Love the way you've outfitted your van. In the days of the sailing ships, the person who oversaw all of the fittings & installed all of it was called a ship's chandler. You've proved yourself a master van chandler! Simply amazing. Hope you are having an awesome experience, and are seeing the best of the West while you're at it. Congratulations on a job well done.
Thank you so much susan!!
Oh my gosh! I don't know if Trent & Allie will actually see this, but so cute to watch an old video of theirs. They have come so far. As I leave this comment, they are building their house in Utah. They just got their new Kubota snowblower. And Eamon & Bec are just below in the comments. Eamon and Bec just bought a waterfront cabin in Ontario. Love you guys! Thanks from bringing us along with you! :)
I agree! This video just popped up, they’ve come a long way, I sure enjoy and thankful for their videos. 🤩👍🏼
You guys rocked this van conversion!!! Awesome!! Probably the best use of space I have seen in any conversion good job!
Captn RedBeard thanks man!! It was a lot of time and planning haha
Really really smart use of space and (?) furniture. Well presented video,very organized and professional! Would have liked to see you dog more. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!
Franks make more appearances in the newer videos. If you subscribe and/or check out some of the other videos you will see plenty of Frank!! Thanks for watching Marcia
This van is so cool. I plan to purchase and convert a shuttle bus. You two are definitely an inspiration.
Thanks Denise!! That means a lot
Stunning in EVERY single aspect! The skills you show will take you FAR - much, much further than the Pacific north west. Well done!
Great channel, Trent and Allie! I'm really glad that TH-cam put you into my inbox today.
Thank you Mitchell, we are glad youtube connected us as well!!!
I'm back now that your van is up for sale in Michigan!
I have a toaster oven like yours, if you have a plug on the outside I recommend using it outside on the hot days. This is how I keep my house cool while cooking in summer.
Great idea!!! Thanks and thanks for watching
I've been watching your videos for a long time but never seen them from the start . Your both so young and sweet .
Oh my heck! I started watching your videos about the time coronavirus started for all of us. I love you guys and I love your videos but now I’m all caught up and I wondered, where did it all start? So I went all the way back to the beginning. I’m looking at this now and seeing how young you guys were and how little Frank was. He was so wee! I see the difference between your videos now and your videos then, you were definitely newbies and just figuring things out and oh, how you’ve grown. I think I’m going to continue to watch from the beginning and I am sure I will enjoy all your adventures I missed.
Your hard work shows. Nicely done, and enjoy your travels!
+R Yee thank you! We will
Who’s here because of the gir living in a van with a snake and know all the van tours are in the recommended🤣 but this is my favorite soooo far💕
LOL I know the girl you're talking about! (Alfredo! *ding!*) I follow her but I'd already been watching van life and vehicle to house conversion videos long before that. 😅 It's an addicting rabbit hole you get sucked into and can't escape. Haha! My favorite conversion was this gorgeous school bus with a big living room, kitchen, tiled bathroom, big bedroom and a garage. Such luxury. Unf💖
So that’s where I have to put the Car air freshener, I kept putting it on the front air vent, Allie is so smart, and cute. Trent is pretty structured for being so young. You both compliment each other, thank you for sharing Shalom 🕊
By far THE BEST van conversion I’ve seen on TH-cam without a question. WOW!!!!!!!!!
The table is my favorite idea. great video. great van. I can't wait to see your adventures. Inspirational!
Thanks, glad to have you along
I subscribed at hello, well actually when u said, Tony Danza my childhood crush. looking forward to ur upcoming adventures.
Your van is one of the nicest conversions ive seen. I also don't feel so intimidated because your description and tour make it more understandable then most ive seen, especially for a novice.
Tarra Sage that's Awesome!!! We're so glad to have you too. We have a bunch of the videos of our adventures up right now!!! Let us know what you think of them
That place from the beginning of the video, simply breath-taking. Living there in a Van must have been a fairy tale.
The finishing of this vanhome is pretty nice, white interior. and that bed is super creative, most creative vanhome bed.
Great build and absolutely the best routing for Solar Cables I have seen. Am planning on adding solar to my Starflyte and did not want to compromise my fiber roof. Thank you
Glad to help Diane!! Thanks for watching! Did you see our new van tour? Might be some ideas in there for you too
Whoa! You can see the confidence level change from your videos now and this one here. Plus the quality has changed too. Good stuff!
Watch their original videos, Trent was so weird on camera and now he's a natural; I'd even say an expert
I’ve watched so many of these videos and I think this van set up might be my favorite, I love the bed/desk area, pretty ingenious
Damn those bugs man. We (family of four with two teenagers and two cats) just finished 3 years on a sailboat from Texas to Grenada. Love the minimalist lifestyle. Nice build.
Loving your ideas for minimalistic living. Y'all are adorable. I can't wait until I can do this ❤️
Thanks Robin
One of the best builds I have seen, love the mpg
Thanks Jon!!!
I appreciate y'all folks. I know people that would NEVER EVER be seen living like that. And you got a nice wife! Wow!
It's a different way of life for sure
This is by far the cleverest bed/table design I've seen. I plan to copy!
I’m planning the layout of my van and got a lot of great ideas from you guys! Thanks a lot!! 😍
So happy to help!!
Linda a Van de vocês!!!! Amei! Parabéns!!!! 🎉💕💕💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
One of the best vans Ive seen! I love the bed-table conversion...
I joined maybe last month. I enjoy your videos. Congratulations on your marriage. I saw on you tube get married. You two are just two young sprouts,in other words very young compared to me . A grandmother and a great grandmother I am. You two stay safe .
great layout and really liked the bed desk. put the greatest benefit of all is that you are doing it. both the minimalist and the travels. its not easy but it is an adventure. good luck j
An epic adventure, we can't be more excited. Thanks
Nice van. I have to admit, I love the fact that you have a Purell dispenser.
Necessary when you’re trying to conserve water!! 😬
Hi from all us vanners in New Zealand, you have a nice set up, well done. William
Wow. This just came up on my feed !
This was my van pick. Now your example is my option 1.
Design is awesome. Right down to the dog kennel.
I had that figured in for mine. I grew up with show dogs. I've traveled with dogs in a station wagon, a Ford cargo van and an A class. Safest place for an animal when you are rolling or when you have to leave it in the vehicle alone is a crate. But to build it in would be the way to go. I'm going to look at incorporating it into my sleeping area so it where there beds with me are like on my bed at home. But your design would totally work for me.
My you receive 100k subscribers with pets so everyone sees this because no one is thinking of it and it is truly the best thing you could have for traveling with a pet.
Thank you dude !
Very smart thinking with the sofa/desk set up, I think that's a first I've seen on TH-cam!
Took a lot of brainstorming!! Haha
Really good design features in this campervan obviously on a budget but really well thought out.
Thanks and yes it was on a tight budget. Thanks for watching
Allie, you are the most pleasant and clear tour guide ever! Trent, your clever ingenuity is inspiring with such sturdy and useful thrift through the design and build!
I can't believe how young and inexperienced you two are in your oldest videos! I started watching you two about 3 months ago in your house build videos (which I like the best) and I'm now taking some time and watching some of your oldest videos. Allie you were so quiet in these older videos! Trent did most of the talking! LOL
The dog cage and fan system is genius
Thanks!! We tried really hard to make it nice for Frank!!
I like how you build the bed/benches/office/dinner. I have an idea for an indoor shower. All you need is a shower curtain that surround your body to contain the water splashing and can be taken down quickly after you done. You stand in a big round plastic wash basin with the shower curtain hanged inside. Hang the solar shower on the van's ceiling. Just dump the dirty water in the sink after you're done.
+hoangkimtran that’s a great idea I’ll have to try that sometime
Great build! You've shown a lot of possibility in fitting functionality and organization in a more compact van.
For someone with little to no experience of carpentry, you sure did a great job with the woodworking in your van. Bravo.
