The client seemed fairly happy? Come on Josh, I was ecstatic! You did a fantastic job.
This kid is a genius!!!!!!!! Momma mia what a beautiful job he did!!
Can we see the inside after it's all dressed up?
Sweet build!
congrats on your new van, it looks amazing. I would make it even better by adding a compost toilet if the space permits.
If I wanted to have a van converted what's the average I would have to save..
As an Air Force BRAT and an Air Force Vet, I just wanted to point out the sound of fighter jets overhead is the sound of freedom.
😀👍
Nice build on this van!
Wow! Thats the most aesthetically appealing micro van conversion i’ve ever seen. What a great job!
Linda you're killing me, I swear I spent 5 minutes trying to figure how to spell that, too long for a YT comment, and I gave up and made a phonetic guess. Should've read the comments before making my own maybe lol. I salute you.
I missed the washroom, if you have?
Yes the details, especially on the fit of fridge, dual purpose counter top openings, venting, very thoughtful!
Yes and i searched many
Lol…watch his other conversions…always a treat to watch.
I spent decades building Yacht prototypes - It's good to see there are still custom craftsmen still around - Kudos Josh
Now that sounds like an interesting job!
This is by far the most professional van build I've ever seen. All of the carpet and cabinetry are truly aspirational for all of us DIYers.
I absolutely love this build! The rounded corners in the counters , the extremely well done carpet covering, the storage and multi access option...and haven’t even finished the video yet! Can’t believe how well this is laid out in that tiny van. Well done!
Particularly appreciated how easily accessible all the electrical components are. That hinged board the fuse panel is on, that’s brilliant.
Appreciate it!
Very good . You've managed to squeeze a lot into a small space with nice clean crisp lines and without it looking cramped .
I can't believe what I'm looking at with this incredible van build, this tiny thing is a great home on wheels.
This is a really nice little build. So much neat functionality in a tiny space. Would've liked to see a demonstration of the practical elements - like seating vs sleeping etc. Also, that platform over the front seat is a great way to travel with a dog.
I, too, was surprised that sleeping was not mentioned in the tour.
Your production quality is unreal. All your work is so clean and well done. Also very well shot. Love it all! Keep it up josh, you're doing great things!
Appreciate it!
Really impressed josh excellent job
Great video👌
Wow can you do my Nissan NV200 year 2019. I’m in California but I’m willing to go where you are❤️
@@Josh_Oakes the bed?
@@Josh_Oakes hey Josh how do I get in touch with u
Full slide out draws are like the most satisfying thing about van conversions and campers for me like I’m not sure why but I absolutely love that idea. Being able to access it if I’m outside and the hinge idea so if you’re inside you can still get to it is just nice. I wasn’t sure what to expect in all honesty and it was exceedingly well above what I did expect. This is super super nice. Makes me wish I had a van to convert lol 😂
This is the best I've seen, and I've probably watched over 100 van/camper conversion videos. Great work. Seriously.
Josh, everything you have done in this van build is so meticulous so well thought out. I was so impressed about all the extra drawers you managed to add because of "dead space ". WOW I was also wondering where the bed was going to be but I'm sure you had that figured out. I love the rollers shade between the cab and the back and the roller shades on the window. You really amaze me with how you thought out the access to the storage inside and outside the van and those wires are si neatly installed. You get a GOLD STAR from me. I love to see designs of vans and campers and have seen alot of them. I must say you are the best and so meticulous. Great job Josh.
You packed so much into a very small space - and the result feels open and useable. Great job.
I have no idea what your background is/was but I've never seen a "cleaner" well-thought-out build like this on TH-cam. The use of every conceivable nook and cranny not to mention how esthetically appealing your use of materials and textures is mind-boggling! Great job, Man! If I ever want a van build you are my go-to guy. What were the countertops made with? A really beautiful job!
Really stainless is non magnetic and your electic come on dude
Beautiful. The cat litter box space was brilliant.
Looks like a good quality build and so many features for such a small space.
I really like the many places you maximized the storage space, and thought through interior and exterior access to a space whenever possible. As someone who travels solo, not having to exit the vehicle to access many areas is preferable. Seeing a smaller van that can have so many possibilities AND an additional window that opens to get more ventilation, is genius! Wanting a camper van someday. I subscribed right away.
Everything is quality craftsmanship - nice job!
I am not even 5 minutes in to the video and I have to say, WELL DONE! Great job!
EDIT - I am finished with the video and I predict you are going to be the President of of your own custom conversion van company and you will SUCCEED! Your ideas are brilliant. Let me be the first to congratulate you on your success!
This is one of the best builds I've seen, Very aesthetically pleasing and everything looks highly functionable. I hope to see more of your future builds!
Cleanest van build I've seen in a long time . Absolutely bossed it mate , nice work !!
Very clean, minimalistic and useful. The toilet design is awfully practical and is my first concern in van builds. Btw, you've nothing to apologize for - this is an amazing build.
Thank you for giving your honest opinions on products. That’s a rare thing to find today, and it helps us newbs in decision making.
That is a ridiculously AWESOME build! I’ve been looking at full-size vans but now that I’ve seen this, I may have to reconsider. Grant it, it’s enough room for one person but I don’t mind leaving the wife and kids at home! Your craftsmanship is impeccable! Probably one of the top five best van build videos I have seen on YT and I have seen a bunch!
OK but don't forget your kitty!
Definitely appreciate the company warnings at the beginning. Nobody wants to deal with putting money into a company that isn't going to take care of their end of the transaction. Also, I think this dude is good at narrating/speaking. Should pick up some gigs in front of a camera
Agree. Some may think that $13 is not a big deal. But the company is responsible for putting out erroneous design data. Any company that is interested in repeat business should readily and happily correct the error and absorb the cost. I will certainly steer clear of their products. See they are already losing business over $13! Short sighted.
Josh, you definitely got my attention, from start to finish.
I’m extremely impressed with this build, you did an absolutely incredible and amazing job.
You are a genius.
This little auto would b great for every homeless that knows how to drive. I wish I was wealthy enough to give one to every homeless.
@@bambiharzott26 I will accept one...and I have a driver's license!

My favorite Ford Transit Connect conversion ever. I love it!
I have watched this vid like 10 times now. I have this vid saved in my files lol. I still say it is the neatest looking cleanest most efficient Ford Transit Connect setup out there so far. It somehow just looks bigger than what it really is. VERY well done!
that is the BEST van build for use of space and ease of use I have seen WTG
That sliding door to hide the water tank(s) is an awesome idea. Suggestion on use of space - for the little box on the wall that houses the door slide mechanism - you could have built narrow shelves from the top of the box up to the ceiling - extra storage and would look better than the little box just sticking out of the wall. Overall, great job.
Freakin brilliant, mate, well done. Lots of nice details and creative uses of space.
You did an awesome job. You didn't waste an inch of space. The way everything is laid out is genius.
amazing. After several failed attempts to convert a van, I can't say how amazing I think this build is.
I've watched so many van conversion videos and I have to say this one I love the most!
Beautiful functional conversion. Two questions: where/how is the sleeping done? What insulation materials did you use in the walls & floor?
For what i understand micro campers dont really much insulation cause with a small climatazer like he put it can keep the place really good with the temperature
I'm sure you hear it daily but wow..you do awesome work! I'm sure your schedule is full with client's wanting a van build out! Lot's of ideas for my own future build! Thanks!
Finally a good build on a newer transit connect, bought one about a year ago and finished the 3D render of it but have no idea where to start lol thanks for this!
So many things I LOVE about this build! Being a cat lover, the litter area is awesome. Every inch utilized with multiple access points on many. 👏 Watching all these conversions by young creative innovators is very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
Nice build. In addition the back blind is perfect for a projector snuggled nicely between the driver and passenger seat. Good distance.
Certainly one of the best mini van conversions I’ve seen on TH-cam. Great job👍👍👍
Gorgeous van build. Master craftsmanship. I have heard several people complain about Renergy lately, not going to be good for their business.
I love your conversations. Clean lines and thoughtful placement and space usage.
Love the pooper solution - like an old-timer outhouse! Perfect for this older gal.
You maximized every inch that you could have. Amazing build
EXCELLENT JOB! I haven't seen a Ford Transit Connect van conversion as nice and well thought out as this one! This rivals the larger Sprinter vans being just as functional! Add in a great sleeping pad and a few throw pillows and you're ready to rock!
Nice layout. It looks super cozy. Very innovative ideas. Especially the false wall, and fridge & inverter locations. Electrical box is sweet and tidy too. Functional, cozy and super usable.
Josh, just saw your work. That workmanship is unparalleled.
This dude really takes the time to appreciate the little details. Dam good build.
That was a beautiful neat-as-a-pin conversion, friend! So, did you address the bed layout area?
Also, another really cool van build feature is a swivel passenger seat for alternative seating in the home area.
Very well planned and organized. The electrical setup is neat and accessable. If I ever do a build I would use you to do it. Really well done and practical.
IMPRESSIVE design & build! I appreciate your straight forward explanation & reviews on products. Well done!
I have watched many van conversation videos on youtube for the past 5 years , yours is the best till date. Great job man.
I have been watching youtube video on van builds and rv interiors for about 3 years now...This build is in the top 5 of the best I have seen...WOW..great work..grea5 attention to detail...AMAZING...
Your work is superb! Love your attention to detail. Your use of all available space for storage is great. Look forward to seeing more of your van builds.
What a great use of the space. You’ve done an excellent job. Can’t wait to see some BIGGER projects!
Sweet build josh definitely impressed on how your skills have improved over the years you been doing the van conversions
This is exactly what I am looking for in my transit connect build! This is totally awesome!
Omg, that is one of the most clean and minimalist style I have seen. I love the conversation, well done! 👍🏼
I thought I had seen the best until I saw this video. Genius!
YOU ARE GOOD. Really like what you have done with the small space.
Looks like a well planned and executed van build. 👍
You have quite a gift. I love how thoughtful and attractive all of the wiring is. And the cat box! Precious.
Brilliant job this is cool almost like an RV I love it!
Another great build, Josh! It's nice seeing what can be done with the newer body style. There's a rumor floating around that Ford is redesigning the Transit Connect again for the 2022 models. I hope they bring the higher roofs back!
What years had the higher roof?
@@Cammieflage13 2013 was the last year of the older body style that had the high roofs.
Silly me, here's me thinking when will he show me the bed !
Did he forgot or what?
Yeah, where’s the bed? It’s going to be really narrow and there are no cushions.
So, ya know that big flat grey carpeted area... after this tour it might be hidden.😉
I'm very tall.
@@thomasrussell448 get a bigger van then 😂🙄
I love this build. All of your mods seem very well thought out and would be easy to repair if necessary. Personally I think that is important. Thank you for sharing!
That is gorgeous. Clean and simple.
Ps to those worried about storage space.... You can buy cushion covers and fill them with blankets, sleeping bags, jackets, sweaters etc so you get comfort and storage in one.
Yeah this is definitely the best build I’ve seen for this size van! Absolutely brilliant!
Best Transit Connect build I've seen to date. You rock! Covered all the bases given the (micro) space you had to work with.
What an incredible job you did!! Everything is so neat and has a "factory" built look to it. That is the highest compliment in my opinion. You should be very happy with your product
Custom Quality Factory Build
That's a cute micro camper van. You did a fantastic job of utilizing space.
That sliding door panel is genius! You have some great ideas and I'm stealing them! 👍🏼
This is the exact kind of van I would want. The little details and the over all plan is so well thought out.
Don't understand the people who go thumbs down. He has always done great projects which make the most of the space. Well, guess some people are just too hard to please.
I don’t get it either. Amazing job, but so many vicious people these days.
They don’t show downvotes anymore because it was upsetting people like you, LOL
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath Perhaps it upsets the downvoters more. The can't feed off the hate.
wow youve come a long way since your first build this looks awesome well done fella the kitchen is cool👍👍👍
I am so impressed by this build, you did a great job considering the size of the van.
The kitty box- awesome, and the space for the cat scratcher, genius! Kitty has no way to kick the litter about. I really love it! Black leather handles fantastic! The countertops elegant! I can see it in my mind the black, white and silver conversion. See now I see the inset cubbies with mirrors inside trimed in black leather. I really like how you do the hardware, so streamline.
This was very impressive. Beautiful job 😮. No wasted space in this build.
Absolutely brilliant build! I watch A LOT of van conversions, and this by far is THE BEST I've ever seen! Amazing workmanship and precise measurements made this so beautiful! I love it! Great job! 👍
If he can do this with a camper van, just imagine what he can do with a bus!
Josh, I am no expert, but the quality of your workmanship is second to none. Detail and space utilization is amazing. I love what you did with controls which are done so cleanly. I wondered about weight; I see you used lots of 3/4". Does this represent any weight concerns? Also, what would a person do in terms of sleep? Use a sleeping bag? Great build. You should be proud of your work quality and your attention to detail.
super vidéo ... from Boisbriand Québec
LOVE that little shade to separate the cab from the back!
“Because apparently we need fighter jets in Wisconsin.” 😂
To keep the Canadians on their side of the pond... 😎
I thought the same thing. 🤣
@@stephenmacian3729 haha! Yes, we're always trying to sneak across to shop & happy hour 🙂🥂
Nice man! I live in England, Lincolnshire actually where the majority of our RAF are based, even see the US F15s on a daily basis! I lvoe the jets
Boy has serious talent!!! It's the swiss army knife of vans. Amazing job!
Fantastic conversation, especially love how much storage you’ve managed to fit in
Josh - PHENOMENAL JOB. Loved that you were so creative in utilizing every inch in making cubbies and storage solutions. Bravo dude , you are the bomb !!!
Beautiful well thought out build! It's impressive how you were able to maximize utility and storage 👌
Would recommend a flap for the cat “pooper” area. Also some vinyl for the floor as they overshoot the box from time to time.
I would have requested an exhaust fan for the cat pooper and the human one too
Beautiful and clean design. Detailing very impressive.
This is actually a really good build for a smaller vehicle. I like it.
This is by far my favorite small conversion!
Fantastic build! I plan to switch to a Transit connect in a few years and I may have to see about hiring you for the build!
Awesome Design
Electrical is very tidy. Hinges are sweet.
Love it....but did I miss you showing the bed?
Wow! Josh did a fantastic job with this build. His attention to detail. Everything is labeled.
I've watched this video about 4 separate times. And every time, because it's such a small ban, I can't help but think, "GENIUS!"
Wow ! What a great job! Very well designed! All the electrical is so neat. Well done!
Beautiful build! I am curious is there any type of insulation in this build? Do you do builds with insulation?
There is and I do!
An amazing layout in such a small space. You do awesome work, Josh!!
