I'm super impressed. I saw a transit connect and they're SOOO small inside, I thought, absolutely no way. But somehow you magically made it grow inside. That's not even normal. Lol
It has everything in its place It looks so spacious neat and clean love ❤ your drawers super organized I feel your ford is my number ONE on my list of how you have place everything SUPER Awesome 🤩 that I’ve SEEN WOW 🤩
Thank you so much! The walnut definitely brings the van together and is probably the single-most time consuming piece of the build haha (hours of planing, sanding, screwing, sealing, drying, re-sanding, re-sealing etc)
Super nice build! I have been looking at Transits for about six months and Transit builds here on TH-cam. Your build is super elegant in it's engineering. Love, love, love the table with the folding bit so you can use the table then still flip it out for a bed. I have seen a ton of convoluted beds that are just so over complicated. Yours is so simple, elegant and multi functional. This is really a killer build. Great job! (I liked and subscribed. Can't wait to see what’s next.)
Danny! Thank you so much for your encouragement! The multi-functionality of the bed is definitely a fan favorite. Excited to share more and would be interested to know if you've got any questions about the build or the design!
Okay this is impressive. All the design you place in this, many may call it engineering. It's the best I seen for a space as small as yours. Very creative and unique. Can keep you busy remodeling things for usage but the use of space is on point.
This is so, so detail-oriented and thoughtful a design. So practical. Right on! And wow, having opening windows while still I imagine reasonably stealthy is wonderful. Shower I can see living without (showering elsewhere). But wondering about a toilet just in case. Haven't finished video though. Also in keeping with the Murphy theme, I wonder about a fold-up bike instead.💚
Also YT won't let me edit my comment so I'll add to it. I'm curious what your other ideas are to add to it. As it already is practically perfect use of a Transit Connect. I'm positive they'd all be very clever ideas cause of your engineer mind.

@@jugaadityourself8950 Hi there! I’m researching in order to convert a small van for travelling in Europe. I think you’ve done a great job, some good ideas hence my bookmarks. Well done!
Absolutely love the design of the bed/table! If you do any other videos of the van, please could you consider showing this part again without the cushions on so we can see how it's put together? I'm assuming it's cleats or something that the table section rests on but it would be nice to see it in more detail how it was put together 🙂. Thank you for sharing this with us
Ah! Great suggestion! I've been getting a lot of comments and questions about the bed, so I think I'll definitely start there for my first follow-up video! Thanks for the question!
Hey! I took your advice and did a video on the bed, specifically removed the cushions so you can see it in a bit more detail. i hope you find it helpful! th-cam.com/video/_jUUZ9ESh5M/w-d-xo.html

You have done a wonderful job with the design and build of your van! I love the modular bed/couch/dinette, and the slide out kitchen is solid. So smart!
I love how well thought out your space is. So many vans don't have a comfortable seating area, but you have also made it so flexible too. Love it. Happy travels!
This is such a great build, especially the kitchen that you can access two ways! Also I just love your energy and enthusiasm. I bought my minivan and did a pretty basic build and then got discouraged. Its time to brush that off and get going! Also yeah, im from the west coast, so cal, and its pretty amazing and so much to explore. I can't wait to get up to the PNW
Very well done! You may not realize it now, but designing & building this - and using it to explore -has given you soft skills, people skills and confidence that will enhance any college degree. I, too, love the custom cushions and table! Happy Adventuring!
I couldn't agree more! I built this out while working an internship for a company remotely and I'm not sure where I learned more - from the internship or from youTube on how to build out my van!
@@jugaadityourself8950 I have a 13' Scamp trailer in Alaska that I have explored with here and in the Yukon/Alcan since 2004. I retire from teaching this year, and am considering a small unit that I keep in the lower 48 for snowbird travel. I like the size of the little transit. Your design is very uncluttered. Even in my Scamp I do not use much energy and I keep stuff to a minimum. I am a seamstress/quilter too, so I love your personal design touches!
I love the van! This is the size I feel like I would probably be comfortable with especially if it's just myself if I converted one! Can't wait to watch more and get to know you! Lost Renegades introduced to me your channel and I'm so glad they did!
I love your design. I have a promaster city that i want to build out. I’m interested in the bed/dinette setup dimensions. The walnut countertop is really nice.
What a super little home on wheels and well planned, nice young lady too, might go fins and follow because I really like the kitchen set up and want to see how well it works
I've seen hundreds and hundreds of van builds and over 30 mini vans, and you got it all right. Genius design, you nail it girl! -💯 If you do have the plans for this rig build, do please share 🙏
Hi, we have watched countless FTC conversion video, we are in the process of our FTC conversion. Love your setup ! A good model for us to follow after, not over built and still providing quality features for a small space . Also Like the table/ bed slat idea! Nice work! Safe travels.. Sonny & Kate
Amazing- love your innovative and strategic, well thought out design! You inspire me! Happy, safe travels! Enjoy 😊 and hope I can visit you one day. Miss you!
So unbelievably nice.... i have same vehicle 2012...sky blue...Love it. But need help converting, can't seem to finish, and mechanically got taken in, with ongoing short problem and now door locking problems. I am hoping to trade it in for another, from a hopefully reliable dealer... wanting the same vehicle... Great Job Kid on yours, God Bless You.
Hey! Just released a video showing the design and layout of the bed a bit more. Let me know if you find it helpful or have any more questions! th-cam.com/video/_jUUZ9ESh5M/w-d-xo.html
You had some interesting and unique ideas in your build. Especially interested to see that you started with the passenger version of the Connect. Hope you put out some drawings of your ideas. Thanks for the video!
Good job..yeah a bike In the aisle is good idea for me too and sometime full bed. Well designed layout n space utilization, love it. Thanks for sharing💕.
Probably one of the best mini van build i've ever seen. We need blueprint or if you have a time you can build other van and record it. It's nice price too if you are sold it.
This is BY FAR my favorite build! Can you share the dimensions of the 3 sections of your couch/bed? I have all the windows in my 2012 also, and I am currently in the process of building it out. I adore your set-up!
Damn, This might be the most awesome micro van! You did a really awesome job cramming all those features in there. Wonder what you could do with a bigger van!
Thank you so much for posting your beautiful and unique creation. I admire your handiwork and especially your annuity. Creating a very unique design that addresses the need for both a place to sleep and a place to work. I love the pop-up table design! I’ve never seen it anywhere else. Bravo! A great job! I’m a new subscriber because of how I’m impressed. I am with your build and YOU!!!❤😊
I love this design. It is simple. but innovative. I love the idea of having a dedicated desk. That is something I would need in my van build that I would do someday. Happy adventuring!
@@jugaadityourself8950 nothing at all as complex. I've only built a few platform beds for myself and a few friends. Have them posted on my channel. Nothing fancy, but effective.
I’ve had my ford transit connect for 6 years now and have been watching these builds for longer. This by far the best build you’re a genius. How did you make the metal box for your fridge? Where is your cloths?
Yes genius bed/table!!! Also love in/out kitchens! I would love more specifics on your kitchen drawer…how does that metal “box” sit/connect on that platform with drawer slides? Planning similar in our 6x10 CTC.
Excellent design. Step one is always the design and it's functionality. Tailgate cooking is a natural USA thing, it would not look out of place. The centre section of the bed that transforms I thought was your inside 'toilet'. But I was wrong. How do you achieve the bathroom needs, local gym?? Great video.
Wow, now that's a really nice home setup beautiful gal and well-designed van. I'm very impressed with Murphy and how you built him. May Father YHVH bless you and keep you safe on your travels.
The bed/table is genius. People struggle with how to put such a nice dinette in larger vans, and here you are nailing it. :)
Eyyy, thank you so so much! I think it's one of the features I'm most proud of. So much love for the bed!
I'm super impressed. I saw a transit connect and they're SOOO small inside, I thought, absolutely no way. But somehow you magically made it grow inside. That's not even normal. Lol
this might be the most creative, efficient use of space I’ve ever seen.
Hi jenny! Thank you so much for your encouragement, made my day :) Wondering if you're thinking of a tiny home / build for yourself!
I’ve dreamed of hitting the road for several years now. One day! For now I’ll live vicariously through you!
the drawer sliders are such a nice touch, sweet tour
The Van is adorable, the build is smart & super functional. If you can live on less, the better!
This is spectacular. One of the best builds I've ever seen without a doubt.
It has everything in its place It looks so spacious neat and clean love ❤ your drawers super organized I feel your ford is my number ONE on my list of how you have place everything SUPER Awesome 🤩 that I’ve SEEN WOW 🤩
👍👍😁🫶🥰
Super cozy ♥
The centre section of the bed that transforms to a table top is a superb idea. The Walnut looks stunning. Fabulous van.
Thank you so much! The walnut definitely brings the van together and is probably the single-most time consuming piece of the build haha (hours of planing, sanding, screwing, sealing, drying, re-sanding, re-sealing etc)
