This is wonderful! Thanks for the tour!
Hi, It's a very nice home to have on the road, enjoy✌🏽
Great camper van. Has everything you need.
And it’s all deductible. If the IRS ever asks, you can show them a picture of your work area, your closet with suits, your bed, your appointment calendar, and your trip log. Brilliant!
Love it Rob! So you will be interviews from the road? If so, will be able to look us up when your in the area?!
Yes.....just let me know where you are and I will let you know when i will be in your area.
Is the wheel base 159?
Yes it is ......it's a nice riding van...and easy
@@roberthanselman5149 great, thanks for sharing. I like the office set up. I work remotely and considering doing a part-time van life. So far leaning towards a Promaster 3500, 159 WB. 🙂
No sound?
FOr the first few minutes my friend had his finger over the mic. When i get in the van it's better .....sorry
Finally someone with a proper work station ! Awesome very practical build - also love to see “older” people trying out van life (no offence intended)
None taken
Agreed on the proper workstation. I’ve seen so many vans that claim to have a workstation when it’s really just a lagoon table they put their laptop on. Terrible ergonomics. Whereas this is great!
@@questionyourbeliefs One reason for putting the work station in the front rather than the back is the view of the outdorrs. It's almost like you are working outside.
@@roberthanselman5149 My youtube search that led me to this video was "van conversion office". I am "older" as well and almost every video has the office in the back with bench seating. Working from home for the last couple of years I know that I need something with more support. There's a very ergonomic swivel seat designed for long hours that comes with the van - nice to see a build using it well :)
@@mikepelley Thank yoiu MIke. YOu are right about the chair in the front that is ergonomic. It's deffinetly a big help. Also setting up that table in the back day after day is a real pain. I'm happy with what I have .
Nice build esp. your monitor placement and desk…requıres a pıvot for the drıver sıde though. 👍
Hi Robert,
Do you find that parking is limited because of the 170wb?
NOt at all.....I have a bike rack on the. back of it and I still find a place. Just remember when you back up the back bumper is what the beeper is detecting ....not the rack. I backed into a car once because I thought I had another 12 " to back up .
As a female, I don't think you need curtains. I think it's a great van build.
Ha....thank you for stopping and visiting my van tour. Hope that you will subscribe.
Love that this has a microwave and air conditioner...I would want that in my van.
I use the micro more than i use the oven.....
Like how you cut the overhead cabinets in the kitchen. Great idea.
Rob, you should coordinate w DR Hannah Straight and do a joint trip.
Hey my friend! This looks amazing. The freedom to travel is perfect. Everything is so multipurpose and I love that so much. Did the downsizing in order to do this cause you any issues? If you ever get up near Pittsburgh come to our farm and visit!
I will do so......Downsizing was the best part ....less stress, less bills, etc. I sold a lot of "stuff" when I sold my loft in atlanta, the rest I put in storage.
Very cool Robert! Enjoy your year on the road!
I’m looking at a similar build from New Jersey. Check out “Ready Set Van” tell ‘‘em Bud sent you 🙏
I am not looking any more ....I found what i am looking for
A "posh" van with Cocktail glasses!!! Cool....
Great van......and awesome bike!!! Youre living your best life!!!! Im retiring this year and hope to follow your footsteps!!!! Subscribed!!!
Cheers!
Hey Rob! Have fun in the van!
How tall are you? Is your bed width wise 72 inches? It seems doable for someone under 5’10”. Any taller and it becomes a tight fit. Also, can you sit up in the bed without hitting the ceiling?
Hi. I am 6 foot. As you can see I do not hit my head. The bed fits just right. This is why I choose the pro master over the sprinter. The sprinter is more narrow in the back.
@@roberthanselman5149 Thanks for the info. We are both the same height. I do like the Promaster because you can be sleep width wise if you have a permanent bed raised off the floor. I've looked at the Promaster, Sprinter, and Transit and they all have good points. I want a U shaped dinette/bed that is high enough off the floor to sleep width wise without my head hitting the ceiling! The Promaster and Transit are both strong choices. While the Promaster is 3/4" wider than the Transit measured for maximum be width, the Transit is 3" taller. That is why I would like to know if your head hits the ceiling if you sit in the bed? How far off the floor is your bed?
@@beachliving3127 The promaster will work perfect for you ....my bed is 3'5" from the floor to the top of the matress. When I sit up in bed I do not hit my head. Also, know it get's tight back there when taking the table down and up.....making the bed....etc. THat is a one person job. With two people I would go to 50 gal rather than 40 gal. Best of luck and send me pictures when you get working on it.
@@roberthanselman5149 Thanks for the info. I've sketched out dozens of designs so far and recently started to test drive the vehicles. I'm OK with the U shaped dinette. It only takes a couple of minutes to set and tear down but you get all of that space! The only question is if I can get a U shape dinette configuration designed for a width wide bed that can be off the floor enough to sleep width wide. I've haven't seen one yet. If it doesn't work, I will just make it length wide since I won't have an internal shower.
@@beachliving3127 Yea....the best thing to do is play with it for a while. You have some time. All the best
If you do not mind , How much money for that van ?
If it's a brand new van (52,000) and the build out can be up to 50,000 to 70,000.....depending on what you would like in it . If it's a used van ....much cheaper and you can go simple on the build out .
feels like a house not a van so nice thanks for the tour
Thank you....sorry for the sound problem in the beginning of the video.....my frined had his finger over the mic. Best of luck to you
Don’t take this down ever. I want my van like this. You have the perfect office space and kitchen! I love it!!
Happy 25th!! Do you regret getting a Dodge over a Sprinter?
Joshua, Thanks for the comment. Actually yes. It is wider in the back of the van and I can slep from side to side. As for the the sprinter I would have to sleep long ways....it just saves a lot of space.....
I have not driven a sprinter so i do not know what it drives like.....but the Promaster drives ust right for me.
What part of the country do you live in ......and are you doing a build out on your own?
@@roberthanselman5149 We live in the greatest small town in America… Madison, GA. My wolf pack is a little too big for vanlife right now, so we’re gonna go the airstream route. Hope to see you on the road soon. ✌️
Looking good Robert!! Let me know if you are passing through the Pinehurst NC area and we can link up!
Very nice build! Looks like you've thought of everything! PEACE
Thanks for sharing! 🎉
I'm glad you liked it
Thanks for the tour. How large is your refrigerator? How big is the freezer section? How does the folding bed work? Is the mattress cut in half? Do you sink in between?
Hey...thank you for watching my video. I can facetime you and give you a tour and measurements ......are you in the USA
I’ve watched hundreds of Van 😢videos that’s the first one I’ve seen with that kind of bed arrangement! Totally using that idea. Thanks!
Thank you for the nice comment . If I did it again I probaby would not need the oven ....and just get a cook top. Yes....the build out my office space.... 100% needed and works well for me.
What's the make/model of that side door entry step? Very clean build.
On the step it says flexco. Contact Erik at Narrow Road Van Converstions. He will be happy to answer all questions .
Hey my VanLife Brutha! Quite the rig and I like. If you can, why not. Right? Pluggin away her in the SE waiting to meander west to Driggs in about a month. We might plan a meet up if we are somewhere between here and there at the same time. In the meantime (when all life happens) keep it between the lines while you are having fun!
Larry, Thank you ....yes....let's have a meet up .. However, if I don't see you now or soon.....I will see you in Idaho in a few months . I can't wait .
the extra counter for cooking is a really good idea, and the shelf from the cabinet for holding things while cooking is very cool, love it, a very well plan van. 💙, I will follow his adventures I subscribed, I think I will copy the cabinet idea.
Feel free .....copying is the biggest form of flattery
this is the van im looking for with the proper office work station. That was something I had imagined where my office station will be set up.
Thank you Pat. The office works for me well.
I know this is a year old already - but this is by far my favorite van build ever - colors and layout! Nice job!
Thank you Kathleen. I will be traveling again at the end of the month. Where do you live ....I may be in a town near you . Perhaps you can come see it.
I like that you have office!
Great Van! Thank you for showing. I really like the working place solution
It really works for me . I enjoy working and a few feet from the outside . I usually pace when I'm on the phone....pacing outside is better than inside.
Yay-it’s the van! Love it.
Fantastic build. I’m female and don’t like curtains either
Ha. That's great ...hope to see you on the road.
Beautiful. Would you be willing to say how much the whole van cost?
email me and we can talk . rmh@planetdomestics.com
Hey Rob, happy trails!
What a beautiful van. What make of roof rack do you have? Thanks
Erik Lokken is the guy who built out the van .....he has a cannel on here .....look him up and ask him....his build outs are amazing .
I hope our paths cross. :)
Really nice
Wow, this is so cool. I'm having Narrow Road convert my van as well; the plan is for it to be ready next month. So glad to hear a positive customer review. 😀
The counter wood is probably acacia. I'm having the same thing. I love how their are multiple wood tones.
I like how you've set up your office space.
THank you .....where are you from....hope to see you out and about someday.
That's great ....if you have any questions please contact me at anytime ...we can discuss
Susan did they complete your van yet?
👍

I will ....heading to California in about a month or so
@@roberthanselman5149 Looking forward to seeing you! Safe travels

After watching this video, it feels like you got into the van thing because it's a thing. That said, whoever built you vehicle did a nice job, even if you don't know much about it.
Thanks Red ….it’s good to know how much you really know about me. I guess I should have consulted you before getting into van living.
Hey Red, this is Erik, Owner of Narrow Road Van conversions. Thanks for the compliment! We build the vans so you dont have to know how everything works. You just have to know how to enjoy freedom on the road. I will watch the comments and answer technical questions if any one has them. And to be honest, I also do a lot of things because they are things. Thanks Erik
@@ErikLokkenNRVC awesome build on the van no doubt
Hey RED , if you don’t have something nice to say-- shhhhh!🙏
I love it when I see a rich person doing it for fun while I am doing this because I am homeless lol
Ummm, I am not rich and this has been a dream of mine for a long time. Should you ever need help finding a job please contact me and I can help you.
