I love the simplicity of this build. I've been researching since before Covid and am oversaturated with ideas. Thanks for bringing me back to the simple stuff. And REALLY love those picture frame clips! Genius!
Glad to help... yes, watching too many videos can be overwhelming. It's good to start simple... and it let's you easily achieve the most important thing of all - starting!
This totally reminds me when I lived in my 67 vw bug, pulled the passenger seat, threw down some plywood for my bed, pvc pipe across the ceiling to hang my work clothes.....
Ha! Thanks for that blast from the past. Those were the days! With all the elaborate builds splashed across social media, I reminisce about those old days in my other video titled "Intimidated by Van Life?"
I don't think I could sleep in that van in the humid heat here in central/eastern Texas without more ventilation than you have, but I still love everything about your setup.
Yeah, a van build is never compete! I don't need solar right now because an ice cooler works for me and I have a small power station that is more than enough to handle my other charging requirements. Maybe someday... but at this point I won't do it just to have a fridge.
Thanks! I have to say: I looked at your channel and love your videos... and the amazing thumbnails - can I ask how you create them, specifically that almost painted look they have?
It's a E150 2WD. It's been fine. I've only had occasional issues on steep dirt and deeper sand, but in those cases I press the button to turn off "traction control" and that helps.
The metal floors and a van gets super hot though hi how to start melting and warping your storage totes and whatever's in them do not store food especially canned food in super hot areas like the floor of van
*Hopefully, you get an idea or two for your van conversion!*

Simplicity at its finest, rock on.
Absolutely! Thanks, my friend!
Wow. Congratulations. Industrial strength Minimalism. Certainly appears to make you happy. And yes, I subscribed.
Thanks so much. Yes, buying a van is one of the best purchases of my life because of the adventure it enables me to experience.😀

Like the way you've placed the water tank, with the spout over the door opening.

Even I can do this. 👍Love the comedy you added. 😅

Yeah, I stick to mostly dry climates.
Great ideas! Ty!
You are so welcome!
Awesome video keep up the great work. This is exactly what i was looking for
Glad to hear it!
It is no doubt a good design, does not mean it is the end of it. You should have a solar panel mounted on the top for a fridge and other devices.

Nice setup great work

@@SwellerVanDweller
I use the app Snapseed to edit my thumbnails thank you for stopping by my channel new to this youtube stuff! Thanks
Nice... I'm looking at SnapSeed now... is there a particular filter that gives that painted look of your thumbnails?
@@SwellerVanDweller
Once opened hit the desired look you want then hit tool and go to drama that will give you that painted look you want.
Cool, I like that, thanks!
Thank you for sharing! Is this a 250? How is the 2wd off road and in snow?

“why is my mustard watery? meh oh well”😭😭
LOL!
Good video, what do you do with gray water though?
I have very little gray water. I lick my plates clean, put a bit of water in the cooking pots and then drink that 'soup' - hey, it's all food!
@6:00 Does this mustard taste a little off to you?
Ha! Classic comment! 👍

Why did you take 1 minute to put it back into place when you could have spent an entire week finding a more permanent solution?
