I watched your whole build series as you were filming it and to this day, this is still the coolest and most well planned moto/camping van I’ve ever seen.
Thanks a lot!!! yeah I spent a LOT of time thinking and researching. I realized that nothing I could find out there did exactly what I wanted it to so I pretty much started from scratch. I still to this day wouldn't change a thing about it...only add a few more things, but basic layout has been great!
I made the mistake of buying an amazing chevy 1500 ltz and trading it for a 2019 type R and now I’m waking up finally so I’m looking at vans for moto setups. This is such an inspiring build.
This is a really great build, especially as a solo traveler/rider or with a friend. For a couple, I could easily see changing the rear bench/bed to be a modular platform bed just above the height of the bikes and potentially eliminating the fixed front bed. That way, one could fit two dirt bikes/dual sports and perhaps two mountain bikes lined up across the full width of the van while having a full bed setup just above them. Again, awesome job!
I’m a big hater of beds above the cargo area. Makes everything sooooo awkward to access. You want all your dirty gear there...but you have to either put it in from outside or get the front “living” area dirty to do it. Makes things messy. Also not enough height to do that even with a tall roof. Not with a dirtbike at least...
EXACTLY my kind of mindset! There is no way to make these vans into "RVs without destroying their ability stay light weight and accomplish everything needed
Love it, once you get solar set up you should look into getting a roof vent with a fan. They make some really efficient and quiet ones for rv's that run on AC or DC. You'd be surprised what kind of heat you can withstand if you've got a little air moving through. Check out the fantastic roof fan.
one feature I would add is to run an additional set of door window switches to your bed area. So you can control them without having stretch around seats, or go outside and walk around open the door, raise/lower a window. It's a simple yet super effective mod.
Kudos on a awesome setup! You've inspired me to some cool solutions. Picked a van today and bought a 450 bike, I'm so stoked for the adventures to come! Just found you, great channel, keep it up!
Just bought a 2012 Ford Transit box van with 750kg lifting backdoor that I will make into a camper with room for my KTM 500 dirtbike under bed at back (220cm under roof so no problem fitting garage under bed). Entire car is 6,5m long but it is short wheelbase so it feels much shorter when handling in traffic and it is 220cm wide. The lift at back works perfectly as a hight adjustable table when doing maintenance on the motorcycle :) (remains to be seen if the lifting door works for loading and unloading the bike also)
Great van build u should do a video we’re u camp and ride weekend and show us how u would go about your weekend setting up the van for the weekend and unloading and setup up camp etc
Get a section of PVC pipe for that water hose. I don't know what schedule pipe, but just the thin-walled stuff. Glue a cap on one end and just slip a cap on the other. Attach it to the bottom of the cabinet or somewhere handy.
First time I've seen someone have a safe which I would've expected more people to have them especially other folks who are literally just living full-time regular van life with out motos
Very nice of your aunt, good video thx. Why not just pull a toy hauler behind a truck? you can detach from the toy hauler and use the truck for running into town or whatever. Bikes even fit in the back of the truck if you want to go riding with six or seven buddies.
Muy buen invento amigo 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Me gustaron muchas de las soluciones que creaste para poder acomodar las motos y tener un lugar donde dormir todo en uno. Felicitaciones 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Sweet build. Only thing i would do to my motovan is build a wall with a big bench seat behind the seats and leave the back empty to put bikes and crap. I couldnt see myself after riding all day having to tear half my van apart putting things away. I just load my bike up, throw my crap in and roll out.
oh i love the window cover with the net... and the water pump is bad ass hows the bike fumes i was thinking of a sealed room for mine but if u its safe might do this
I lived like this for a while I was wondering what you do about oil changes for long term living. I was lucky enough to know people in the area I was in that let me change my oil on their property. The only thing I could think of is keeping spent oils in a salvage barrel and taking that to an auto store to have recycled
I watched your whole build series as you were filming it and to this day, this is still the coolest and most well planned moto/camping van I’ve ever seen.
wow, were you born yesterday?
Hey, do you know where that build series is? This van build is incredible.

@@BeRAD I agree, there are very few motovan builds out there but thousands of people building an RV inside a sprinter.
@@annabandana9889 have you found them ?
I love the wonky bed idea, it’s easy to think everything needs to be perpendicular but that works really well
This video doesn’t show how much work you put into that beast! Well done dude!
Now I’m convinced.
Yo u should do a vid with two stroke j plz if u can reach out to him
I just watched ur van build video😭

You've got great build skills Brad. That's an awesome van.

I want to say you did an amazing job on your van if I ever decide to get a van built I definitely would call upon you .
Great van. Thanks for the upload.
Lift. Locker. Big boy tires. Happy trails.
_nice secure place for the bikes, i love it._
Best set up so far for Van Camper with bike. Hands down.
You could make something in the back of the van on the floor that you can extend out and use as a ramp👍🏼
Nice job young man! You've convinced me to build one. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome to see how far this thing has come and how functional it is. Great job, obviously.
i like the van tour, next should be a shop tour talking about all of your bikes
I knew your van was pretty setup, but I had no idea how loaded it actually was. This is amazing!
my dream is to one day be able to afford a motovan like this. this is my absolute dream
much better than those caravan type motovans. i like the bed the most. great job.

That thing is so cool. I'm looking at doing one that accommodates a sport bike. Would like to travel around and ride a bunch of great roads.
Great set up!
yup

This has to be the coolest thing I have seen in a good minute
One of the best moto van projects I’ve seen. Nice work.
Dude you built one hell of a rig. Need to slap a solar panel up top to give you some continued charging while the vehicle is off.
This is dope. I can tell you on a lot of time on this van build. Great video. Who’s been here since the supermoto Shenanigans
Very cool van build, enjoyed watching the build series, but is ace to see how it has evolved since then too.
Watched ur whole build series literally my dream van
Thanks so much for this, I will be building something very similar and this video gave me all the information I needed to do it
Great van build u should do a video we’re u camp and ride weekend and show us how u would go about your weekend setting up the van for the weekend and unloading and setup up camp etc

this is sick. hope i can make something like this to travel around australia!
First time I've seen someone have a safe which I would've expected more people to have them especially other folks who are literally just living full-time regular van life with out motos
perfect. I was just looking for a van on craiglist to build.
Very nice of your aunt, good video thx. Why not just pull a toy hauler behind a truck? you can detach from the toy hauler and use the truck for running into town or whatever. Bikes even fit in the back of the truck if you want to go riding with six or seven buddies.
Enormous!!! I agree, you are the best!!!
Love it dude. I was thinking of this for the same thing so glad these transit vans have come to North America.
I miss the econoline Van's honestly, you could offroad well or even tow a large trailer, transit Van's are more like a little car frame
Well done great review, from Scotland 👍
That thing is sweet!! I’m savin up for one. Great builds fellow 02 YZ250 brotha!
Nice going to build one myself you give me inspiration thanks for sharing
Dude killer van build. This thing is sweet!
Made with love! Awesome work. ♥️👍🏻
This is a dream van. That's exactly what I need.🙂
Muy buen invento amigo 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Finally! I have been looking for moto van builds for years and yours is by far the best! Instant subscriber!
They're hard to find huh?!? glad you like it! Thanks a lot (:
i haven't been on this channel in ages i miss u brad
Thats pretty sweet! Iv been tempted to do a van build soon.. your water system is awesome!
Nice job brad!! Hard to believe you did all that yourself..
Love the #MotoVan. Especially the bed. I’m 6’3” and I like how it’s set up. I like tour style. Very simplistically put together.
Just gotta slap a big old solar panel on the roof
And maybe add a sink also.
Wow, that is awesome. Well done - what a build.
And now I know what I will tote all my dream bikes in when I’m older
I remember watching your build on this van a year or so ago! Such a cool van...love it!
Just discovered your video and truly AMAZING bro
Such an awesome van you build!👍👌
Bring the van and the bikes to Montana Berad. You would like some of the single track we have here and in Idaho.
Looks like a lot of design and work was put, I like it 👍🏻👍🏻
definitely a lot of sitting inside the empty shell and thinking haha. about a years worth, actually before I even started to build!
Looking forward to this vid for so long, finally its here :)
Love this van if i ever get something like this i am gunna try set it up like this
Dude that van is sick
Badass! Bet that engine package is pretty amazing 👌👍
That is living the dream right there!! So well done!
Couldn’t stand the 999k like so there you go bud. Great job on the van build out.
I believe, you can also hook up the Kodiak to your car charging system while you drive
Great build, but I recommend an awing for it 👍🏽
I’ve watched you build this and it turned out amazing!
yeah i watched all of your van build videos. the van still looks great. i was also going to mention the solar panels but you beat me to it.
Awesome Moto Van!
Pretty awesome set up
Really cool van. Very Smart solutions. Bravo!
Real nice rig man , wishing i had a setup like that
The coolest van ever!
Awesome setup, I'm definitely jealous! Thanks for sharing all of the good products too gonna have to grab a few of em
A W E S O M E ! Nice planning, I really like the foreword located angled bed. Happy Trails!
cool video..well done on the van conversion.
Nice work man!! thing is perfect
Just came across your vid. I want to do this! Thanks for sharing

Very functional.
oh i love the window cover with the net...
and the water pump is bad ass
hows the bike fumes i was thinking of a sealed room for mine but if u its safe might do this
Yessssss that’s a build my friend!! Great job I can’t wait to build one 🤙
You’ve done a really great job with that bad boy. 👍
That's awesome and super inspiring mate! I'd love to do something like that in Australia and just travel and ride!
Cool practical set up 👌
Be rad! Looks awesome lots of fun
Its easy to build anything when you live in america and got all the products available and cheap.
yep, been waiting to see this for a while now
Nice video Brad!
that bed looks like something if i would use that, i would fall out of when just getting in bed and getting in a comfy position
Great build, thanks for sharing!
Well done!
Cool set up, I'm surprised you didn't install solar panels though
Well done great van
Nice setup bro🤘🏼👍🏻
That's a lot of real estate for solar panels on the roof. really nice build, some things i would do differently tho
I have an urge to get a van and ditch the trailer now... Haha thanks

Same for me, I know so many people all over I usually have a place to do any maintenance! If not, a cut in half water jug works!
