Same! especially as someone who has no desire for plumbing, tanks, built in stoves or toilets in a build, the luxury house-style vans are stale and unrealistic.
I have a 93 Dodge Ram Van and I LOVE it. It definitely needs a paint job. We're changing the fuel pump today and I found your video of your dad changing the pump in this one.
EXCELLENT VIDEO YOUNG MAN!!!! About to build my 98 15 pass van and you provided me with some GREAT IDEAS! Keep on vannin! Thanks for NOT showing the pots and pans shit 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing this. I'm looking at Chevy/GMC 1500s, so it's very helpful. I agree with other commenters: that boat ladder is genius, and I'm definitely adding that to my build/idea list. First time I've seen that. Thanks again!
Bad ass.. only janky thing was the solar wiring.. u shoulda just made it to size and then saved the extra wire.. there was more than enough wire to run a whole new line wrapping around the car multiple times
I found your videos one day. Have watched most now.Enjoy them. I look for the green van whenever i go to gunstock. Lol anyway keep doing cool stuff and videos
I would love some recommendations for how you painted this van because I think it turned out great!! Wanna paint my soon and would love some advice/pointers
Can you wire in a resister to slow the fan speed and therefore quiet it a little? I think all of the alterations you have done since your first layout make sense.
I didn't really see any difference in gas mileage. I could kinda feel a weight difference going around corners. Overall I think it worked out great and would do it again.
Did you put a swivel on your passenger seat? We have a 98 dodge van we are working on and would like to put in a swivel for the passenger seat, just not sure how to go about it and what all is needed
You don't want to cook in your van bro. That fan is not enough of a hood system to get all the grease out. Your carpet and ceiling will become coated in greasy grossness
I love builds like this, I get sick of seeing Brand New Expensive Vans With top of the line everything inside it.
Same
Me too. You should check out Cheap RV Living. So many great "no builds" on there in all types of vehicles and loads of trips for traveling cheaply.

That boat ladder idea is very clever!
Love the roof rack. Boat ladder is a awesome idea.
I like how you made it simple, but still got the heater.
Pretty sweet build, not over done, just perfect
Thank you

Nice to see keeping it simple the basics of neccesity.
Emergency housing in this day and age perfect.
EXCELLENT VIDEO YOUNG MAN!!!!

I'm glad you were able to get some ideas. Thanks for watching!

Steering wheel tray! Life chancing! Great build. Like that it isn’t over done. Some great hacks I will be borrowing.
I just bought a 98 and this vehicle gave me a ton of plans
That roof ladder is a brilliant idea
Great! Appreciate you sharing.
Love the old American vans. It will always be my 1st choice.
Thanks for your ideas 🙏🏻
nice work
Way to go, I think you did a good job. I have different ideas, but your van looks cozy. I hope you have a lot of great times in it. Take care.
Thisssss is the van build i need. so practical
Thanks man!!! Buying mine this week! Gonna look into the diesel heater stuff a bunch forsure!
I to like the body style my 95 Dodge ram van b2500 series that was fully customized by primetime looks like brand new still today all original from 95
Bad ass.. only janky thing was the solar wiring.. u shoulda just made it to size and then saved the extra wire.. there was more than enough wire to run a whole new line wrapping around the car multiple times
Nice dude, appreciate you sharing
Good idea for the ladder bro!!!! Nobody has thought of that
Good job man simple and cool.
That thing is so cool!
That’s a bad ass fan lol
I found your videos one day. Have watched most now.Enjoy them. I look for the green van whenever i go to gunstock. Lol anyway keep doing cool stuff and videos
Thanks glad you liked the videos. Maybe I'll see on the slopes!
Blue Van Dan, a TH-cam channel, has one of those diesel heaters and really likes it (and he heats his newly acquired long school bus).
That paint job is excellent. I may need tips when I'm ready to paint my 1997 Dodge Ram 3500. She's a big girl. Her name is Jean Claude Damn Vann.
Nice im picking up a 2000 Ram van 3500 extended tomorrow.
I love the extended van's. You should post a video when you get yours
About to buy a 99 1500 RAM high top to convert. I can use all the help I can get.
FUNNY AF ENDING😂😂😂😂
The extra wire and the way you ran it is driving me crazy but I like the full send
Mind sharing info on materials you used to build the roof rack? Currently looking at a 99 Dodge Ram 1500 Wagon.
Excellent!
I have a question
Is your truck 6 or 8 cylinders?
How many kilometers do they travel per liter?
great job man :)
Nice! I own a 94 B350. I got that looooonnngggg one. I was wondering the name of the rack you got holding your deck up on there?
How tall are you? I'm contemplating laying out a bed like that in my 97 Dodge van but I don't think I'd be very comfortable
2 years late but did it come with those window frames inside or were they built?
I would love some recommendations for how you painted this van because I think it turned out great!! Wanna paint my soon and would love some advice/pointers
Dope
Off topic, but nice watch!
Where’d you get the charge controller, battery, and solar panels?
Chad energy
how many miles did it have when you bought it and how many miles does it go up too?
Cool...i bought a 97 dodge shorty lastnight! Do you happen to have a link for the ladder you bought?
Thanks for the video, how tall are you ? I’m 6’2” and I’m looking for that kind of van ,how wid is your bed I guess 30” ?
I'm not sure how big that bed was. I am also 6'2" and I had to sleep diagonal in that van
It's a great van. Just curious how much does the wooden roof rack weigh ?
Can you wire in a resister to slow the fan speed and therefore quiet it a little? I think all of the alterations you have done since your first layout make sense.
That's a good idea I might try it
Hi! How’s it been with your roof deck? Gas mileage, weight? I would love to build one just like yours on my ‘99 Chevy Express. Thank you!
I didn't really see any difference in gas mileage. I could kinda feel a weight difference going around corners. Overall I think it worked out great and would do it again.
Did you put a swivel on your passenger seat? We have a 98 dodge van we are working on and would like to put in a swivel for the passenger seat, just not sure how to go about it and what all is needed
I’m looking for a swivel mount too but haven’t had any luck finding one 🤷🏼♀️ 😞
@@downbytheriver235 no we didn’t, actually selling our van and looking for a newer model.
what size bed do you have? i have the same model of van, but a queen - looking to downsize
I bought a queen size memory foam and just cut it up until I got the shape I wanted
Hey bud, looks great. I just bought a '97 dodge ram van. whats the dimensions of your mattress in inches?
I have a queen size mattress. I never measured it I just cut the mattress to shape
How tall are you?
How tall.are you? I'm 6'4" and looking at a b350
I'm 6'2"
Where did you find the brackets for your roof deck?
They were just u bolt's. You can find them at most hardware stores
Are you selling this van?
Can you stand up in the van?
No we could not
You don't want to cook in your van bro. That fan is not enough of a hood system to get all the grease out. Your carpet and ceiling will become coated in greasy grossness
Start cooking something good to eat 😂
