The position of the shower with the toilet and washer behind the wall is genius, I haven't seen that before and it's such a good idea. The bed is incredible, in fact the whole ambulance is so well thought out and built it must be the best van accommodation ever.
Yep, same thing I said. PURE GENIUS! 💖💖💖
I also love the placement of shower, bathroom. Amazing
Brilliant!
Slight adjustment: put the shower head above the washer dryer so water is aimed at the solid wall.
Dude had me cracking up setting up bed. I don’t think anyone could do this, less than 1% of the population for sure. I thought the plumbing system was complex and then he hit us with the electrical cabinet. Genius level for sure.
I agree with genius level on that electrical cabinet, extremely well designed & well organized. One of the best set ups I’ve seen in my 18+ years in IT!
Glad you enjoyed it
SERIOUSLY! Pure genius! I'm still stuck on the exhaust system in "the bathroom ". When I get the funds for a bug out vehicle I know who to try and get in touch with. Bravo Bravo !
Yeah! For sure! That plumbing and electric is 🔥! He could probably make a living just doing that for people!
Makes me wish I studied engineering instead of medicine...! You should apply for another degree or at least another certification after this build!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful extension of yourself 💓! I now realize as I build my "she shed" on wheels, that my platform has had a "domain" which should dictate all categories of my build; from how much money to spend, to how much weight I can add--after build. Much to balance! 🧙🧘
I love the way Patrick stays quiet during the whole video and allows the people to talk about their build without any interruptions. Great job Patrick.❤❤❤❤❤
@Pete Anderson I totally appreciate that! I really don’t enjoy it when the channel person just goes on and on and even interrupts the presenter!
I wonder if he wears a hat with "What else?" On it. 😂
Patrick would make an excellent talk show host his questions at the end are always exactly what we viewers would want to know he listens without interrupting the guest ,he's awesome and this guy that built this is a genius for sure!!❤
Okay, I need to say a few things… as a paramedic I’ve worked in a ambulance for over 14 years and this man is kinda small… not everyone can just walk in RA like this 😂… his set up is beyond beautiful. I’m 6’1.5 and it’s a B* going through the center pass thru to the back lol with ease and to have a shower and bathroom there with a combo washer and dryer this guy is a genius. I’ve worked in many different types of vans from the old school vans from the 90s 😂 to monster mods that you can put 12 people in the back because I worked critical care and pediatric advanced life support. It’s cool to see that he used a kodiak chassis ambulance. I’m just totally impressed here but just know to stand upright in these guys not everyone can do this. Anyways, my .02 brilliant setup 👊🏾👍🏾 one last thing setting everything up on that tablet….. SCHWEEEEEEET ❤
Ditto
Im 6'2" and always wonder if i'd be able to stand up straight when I watch these ambulance conversions.
@@KaptinPlanit you will brother… even in the back you will be hunched over.
@@KaptinPlanit at 5’10” I will bump my head on lights or anything protruding.
Well I just had my first exp riding in a ambulance and with profuse and constant vomiting the paramedic still wanted me to lay flat on my back and strap me down so I could choke on my own vomit! And when I told her no she walked into the hospital and said I was uncooperative I made sure I didn't get seen I had to have my husband pick me up and take me to a different ER out of town!!!!!! Where the doctors had to give me a lot of medicine because of the fact I have an autoimmune disease my body accidentally thought I was being poisoned when I wasn't!!!!!!!!
This build is amazingly detailed. He needs an award for creativity. 55 gallons of fresh, 5,000 inverter, air compressor, shower, composting, tesla batteries 5,000 watt hours, massive solar. Blows my mind.
Mind too!!!!!! Nice........
He's Extremely Talented ..and I hope that he will focus on designing "Home's on wheels" for individuals and families on a budget, traveling for work and vacation.
Amazing build, but best for a young person who understands all the technical stuff and being able to lift.
Makes me want to upgrade , but my loyal 'lil lifesaver'would be jealous!
What's shocking for me was the laundry. Holy cow this guys is simple genius 😳 👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Washer dryer...omg...he rocks!!!
The combo wash drier sucks. It takes HOURS to wash and dry one moderate load of wash.
The phrase “another level “ is way over used in our current day, but this is literally another level. The coolest part about this whole video is his modesty, and at the end, when he acknowledges that if he had any idea the amount of effort it would’ve taken that he wouldn’t have done it. Just goes to show that time is more valuable than anything else and no matter how cool it is and how many people lose their mind over it. he still recognizes that his time and his energy are worth more.
Glad you found this video
This guy has to be a master at Tetris. The way he has designed everything to fit together is amazing. Love the bed. Such a simple but effective design, and I love the idea of the Tatami. Lost me at the electrical, because his system sooo complex, but I appreciate that he is a genius and was able to do it all. For me though, the crowning achievement is putting the shower/laundry between the cabin and living area and making so much fit in such a small area, and to do it so that it feels spacious. Very well done Josh.
I agree with washer/dryer. So clever
He is a game developer
Yeah, this guy has to be ridiculously smart.... it just blows my mind that he did all of this, construction, electrical, water, design, etc etc 🤔 and he's so matter-of-fact about it all!!!!! Really cool 😎 ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
You are a bonafided genius, an artist, a visionary. I am totally flabbergasted. I have never, ever seen a build at this level of sophistication. You need to generate a TH-cam - How to channel. Tens of thousands of van life builders would give their right arms to have your knowledge, expertise and experience.
You could develop the architectural, mechanical, electrical and LV systems. Produce the plans and specifications for this build. They would be of such value for the van conversion enthusiast.
I would definitely buy a how to! Many would! With your design abilities you could help many to pursue their dreams of living the van life. I WILL BE YOUR VERY FIRST CUSTOMER!!!! IT WILL MAKE MY DREAM OF TRAVELING THE COUNTRY A REALITY.
He built and programmed his own software... I nominate him for President!
I'd feel safe in it no doubt.....I'm sure there's other features available that you'd want to keep secret ...!... Private & Secure......sweet
I thought it was funny that he did so much detail with very complicated stuff but then didn't know what size engine he has. Lol.
Oh my word! Not only is the design intricate, thoughtful, and inspired, the execution and craftsmanship is impeccable. This is one for the books.
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant…
Now this is seriously impressive. The fact there is a toilet and a shower? cool. THE WASHER/DRYER? Now this takes the cake!
Patrick, he is such a humble guy. He was going through that van showing so quickly but I think that was because of his nerves. He should be so excited that he is able to come up with something and build it out and be proud of what he’s done. I think anybody who is willing to do something like that is amazing
So many awesome ideas
Bruh… that Ambulance conversion was absolutely 🔥🔥🔥 and I watch a ton of builds…
You (Patrick) said you’ve been doing this 20 years and have never seen such quality work!
I’m still in shock that he said it only took him 5 - 6 months to build 😱
That’s the best $70K plus RIg on the road for sure!
Best I have seen
If he's been doing this for 20 years, just how old is he? He looks as if he's in his twenties or early thirties. Awesome build.
@@reginajackson3370 thanks Regina, I am 45
I agree
Okay Patrick, this is in my top five of favorite builds. I love the bathroom, hidden toilet awesome. Washer/dryer incredible. Love the pull out pantry cabinet The electric control pad and all that it controls is the bomb. Love the two sofas. That desk is ingenious. The kitchen is spacious and very organized. I love everything about this build. I was overwhelmed by all the electronics in that outside cabinet, but electric stuff confuses me on a normal day.
I agree gotta be top 5, amazing what he fit in this ambulance. Very nice interior the layout makes it feel like your in a huge motorhome.👍
I knew you would like this one
Hi patrick. This young man is a genious. Love this ambulance. Love this chevy. How much did this rig cost. I love the chevy vans.
@@janchapman3746 He said it was listed for $20,000 and he paid $18,500 for the rig.
I too loved this build.. Not everyone can convert an ambulance into an RV... All your points are very valid!! My question here is, can this vehicle keep those red lights and ambulance stripes on the body? Wouldn't it confuse people?
This is an incredible build, wow! You weren't kidding with the title "Greatest Ambulance conversion ever!" Also, as someone who works in IT: Good Lord, that electrical/systems cabinet is SO well done, oh my gosh. From all the systems included, contingency planning, efficiency, and cable management, all I can say is wow. My jaw hit the floor when Josh opened that door. It's more beautiful than my home's wiring!
Thank you for the feedback
PURE GENIUS, ESPECIALLY the shower/toilet/drawer/washer & dryer combo! Never seen ANYTHING like this before!
I was BLOWN AWAY!
GREAT job, Sir! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
So awesome
This is the most beautiful and practical build I have seen in the last two years! The bathroom shower and concealed toilet is fabulous!
Not sure if I'd describe the onboard computer system, and that whole electrical cabinet in general as "practical" lol
@@gscott2320 an 80 year old woman named Gloria probably isn’t interested in the electrical grid.
The toilet and washer combo is outstanding
@@fuckthevaccine2160 🤣🤣🤣 Right!
@@fondasimpson679 SERIOUSLY!
Wow! Inspector Gadget Engineer Josh! A sweet design! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
If he really did all of this on his own this man's a genius
He is, also a genius in the video game world
No all by himself in 5 months,,no way even though most of the interior is like snap on panels but running wires,,circuitry,,batteries that is meticulous work
@@jorgeb9715 you will have to believe us
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures I believe it, without a doubt, because dude looks like this is ALL he does, is tinker around with shit, ALL DAY LONG, with minimal sleep or food.
I was also kind of wondering how he was able to put this stuff together, then saw the title of the video, being he's an engineer.
Yeah, I believe it.
Wow!! The electrical knowledge was too amazing.
Dude you are the guy to have around if the apocalypse does come! What a genius build and with quality. Nice work!
So much planning went into this
If there is an apocalypse, he wouldn't be able to buy materials and stuff he needs to build these.
I know where that is. If there's an apocalypse, he'd better get in first or I'll be gone with it
When SHTF none of his electrical stuff will work.
This guy is a genius!! I love everything about it! He seems so nice & down to earth too! Im dumbfounded!
Glad you enjoyed it
TOTALLY 👍🏼
One of the best, if not the best, ambulance build out I have seen.....
Me too
This the most incredible ambulance build I have ever seen. This guy is brilliant! The water system alone completely blows my mind. This is truly a zombie apocalypse bug out vehicle. Even with him doing all this himself this is a very, very, expensive build.
very nice rig New York Josh! I can recognise a fellow perfectionist and that Rig looks Perfect. I absolutely love the way you isolated the electrical elements, the plumbing devices,valves and lines and then back it up with the homecontroller tablet/smartphone. Really really excellently well done . You should be very proud. Earth roamers cost a million bucks and your Rig is every bit as good maybe even more sophisticated/simplified as those guys and it cost alot less than a mill. Godbless and Godspeed to you!
Impressive. His attention to detail and quality is apparent. Ambulances are built like tanks so it’s no surprise they make excellent choices for van builds. Of course it helps if you have the intelligence and talent to do the work yourself like this guy.
Glad you enjoyed the tour
This guy is a fuxkin genius if he built this !! One of the best builds I've seen thus far ... and it's stealth nobody would know a person lives in it
So awesome
What a mind! This is brilliant! That bathroom/laundry! The interior is beautiful and the whole build amazing! I have to say he had me laughing through the whole tour. He's got such a fun personality and great sense of humor. Thank you for this incredible video, Patrick!
This guy is a genius. He blew me away when he opened the electical cabinet and plumbing area.
Me too
Wow, wow, wow genius indeed. This is the best build, with the most exemplary inventions built by an owner I have seen on this channel. There have been other amazing van builds that were built by company's. Amazing, thanks Patrick that is such a cool build out!
My words exactly...WOW, WOW, WOW.
A/C?
Thank you for the support
This is one of the best builds I have seen and the amount of work that Josh has put into building this van is incredible. Well done Josh and enjoy your travels in this lovely vehicle.
Glad you enjoyed it
And all of this done in Brooklyn, isn't that completely mind-blowing ??? 😁
@@daltonx6177 That's CRAZY! 👍
wow I would have NEVER thought of that bathroom layout and it's BRILLIANT!!!!!! It's the size of a wet bath without the watery mess!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it
This inside was innovative and an impressive use of limited space with so many amenities, but the pluming and electrical cabinets were absolute works of art. This guy did everything right, lots of research, serious attention to detail, executed perfectly. He could easily get more than double what he paid to build this rig it is that good.
I love it, the bathroom blew me away. You're so talented.
Love it
What kind of an engineer is Josh? This build is spectacular!
I bet he is an electrical engineer. That power grid manipulation and customizing is just mind blowing.
Patrick said “you have CAD experience”
So something professional for sure.
@@offairhead my community college offers CAD classes.
So talented
Wow that's totally cool what you're done with your hide! 🤩💖 It's beautiful, well done and organized.
Josh definitely has an Electrical and Computer Engineering Degree of some sorts, if not he's a Damn Talented Genius! This ambulance is brilliantly constructed. I 💚 it. 👍🏾👏🏾
All of this is SO BEYOND AMAZING!!! But possibly most notably, he is so good at keeping up with his water bottle!! I thought for sure he was gonna leave it in the plumbing closet but bro grabbed it without even stopping his explanation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Best Ambulance build out ever! 👏🏻😍
Me too
This is brilliant! Love the shower/bathroom/laundry, the bed solution, the collapsible counter, the desk and monitor, everything just works so well!
Glad you enjoyed it
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures thanks for bringing this build to us!
The skill set background of electronic, metal , wood, plumbing fabrication,is astounding.
So talented
Some people just have a talent for doing things. This build is AWESOME !!!
WHAT? I have never seen a build quite like this.
AMAZING! Very smart guy. I was in awe!
I would love to have him build out a van for me!
Genius. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Give me 100k and i do it
BLOWN AWAY! And a washer/dryer combo?! This is my type of build and dude! ❤️🥰 I didn't think I'd have one critique then realized - where is the air conditioner? Wow. I could not inhabit without one or max fans. Josh, you're amazing, nonethess.
Good catch! I missed the AC. TH-cam comments provide the most critical design walkthroughs.
So awesome
He probably has it tucked away somewhere like between the toilet and washer/dryer lol.
I worked in EMS the ambulance comes with separate A/C units for the box (usually mounted front of box above cab) that can run off shore power or the ambulance onboard power. I am thinking he didn't delete the A/C and with that tesla battery has power to run it if not running the engine.
@@traceonthecase Right😀
Heluva build! Genius! I would add just one more thing: a cabinet to store the sleeping pads & bedding. With everything so neat and inviting, that really is the only thing that could be done to complete the aesthetic. Bravo! Thanks for the tour, Patrick.
Great idea!!
This is literally genius , literally!!!!! He has everything down to a washer/dryer this is what i call full time living!!!
This guy really nailed it. It’s a perfect build I think.
You had me at washer/dryer!
Me too
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures which model washer dryer is that ?
I don't know Patrick you may have outdid yourself on this one. Very innovative as a matter of fact that's a genius build also. The best build yet. Just looking and listening to that guy I can he's the type of person that get stuck on something until he figures it out. Very thoughtful build. Things stow away when not in use. That desk and bed is genius! Good job Patrick keep them coming.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the support
I’m totally blown over with the detail and creativity you’ve built into your ambulance. Love the bathroom/laundry room, desk, EVERYTHING!! So much fun to watch! 😃👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽😍
I'm completely blown away by this young man's brilliance and his unique and awesome rig.....the best I've ever seen. If there was a reward for the best designed rig, this one would be the winner. I wonder what Bob Well's thoughts would be on this marvel of a mobile home. Gosh, it is truly incredible. True appreciation and best wishes from Cape Town.💫🌠🌟
Good lord this guy is a genius! I’ve watched hundreds of these, none better!
I totally agree with you.
Totally awesome
IKR !!!
This gentleman has such a creative mind. Not only is it highly functional its beautiful too!
Love it
Hope this kid knows how freaking special he is! Damn son!
Yes
He has a beautiful brain. The desk, the removal counter w/crash pad, the multi use shower, wash/dry, toilet, pass thru to drving area, and the electrical, home system is 😮. He challenged himself and won invaluable knowledge.
Incredibly efficient use of space. I especially like the second sofa
Glad you enjoyed it
What words can I choose? Epic -- awesome -- amazing -- stunning. Well done, Josh. Thank you Patrick for sharing.
Thank you for the support
The electrical knowledge and engineering alone is something 99% of people cant fathom. Also, this is a one of design. All completely from scratch. This man could work at any major company in the world.
Glad you loved the details
Best build yet for me! Washer and dryer really did it for me but also the desk design, kitchen counter top removal, shower, all fabulous! Great job!
Thanks for sharing!
WOW, beautiful design, and my fav so far, the BATHROOM! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Josh...you did an awesome job! The bath..toilet..washer combo is genius! Their location at the front and not at the side or rear saves a lot of space. This is the best I have seen even compared to some sprinter vans. It is so roomy. I love the panels..the decor and the layout. I know how an engineer thinks! Fantastic build. Simply the best. Awesome engineering. Genius. Genius. Genius.
This is on a new level. Well executed 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
"Even compared to some sprinter vans" leaves me a bit puzzled. An ambo has more room, straight walls and more payload. I consider them superior by most metrics.
I just want to adopt him. What an awesome, interesting, talented young man. His sense of humor 🤣 is the greatest, so down to earth. I ❤️ him. The plumbing and electrical are genius. Relay this, relay that. Truly one of the greatest builds of all time. I'm imagining him as a toddler driving his parents nuts trying to channel his energy. He is a precious jewel. Thank you for sharing this.
You are so kind
By far the best build I’ve ever seen. And I feel like I’ve seen every single one on TH-cam over the past few years! Patrick is not only a genius, you can tell he’s a really nice, good guy. I hope he enjoys every minute of his stunning home on wheels.
Wow, thank you!
This guy is genius level. 👏👏👏
Yes 👍🏽
OK. This is an amazing build, despite ambulances being my least favorite vehicle for conversion. That said, Josh is definitely a genius. I doubt many people in America could do this. Incredible technology. Incredible designs! The only thing I didn't see or maybe just missed was the A/C. I worked in ambulances in my college days in the early to mid-90s. I know ambulances have front and rear A/C. Did he set that up to run off of the batteries when parked?
I hope Josh continues. Not just RVs. I would love to see smart homes like granny pods for elderly parents, small homes, and even more common size ones.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures Patrick, I have been enjoying your videos ever since I found you online years ago via Colonial Airstream. I dream about Airstreams -lol. But some of these DIY conversions are competing with that dream.
The complexity of the systems and the way they are integrated is phenomenal.
Josh is amazing.
This dude is smart and seems like a genuine person. Good for him
He really is
That's amazing. Everything has a second use or function. That electrical cabinet is professional level.
Absolutely
What a fantastic build everything as it's space , love when he dashed outside to get the orange pad/seat.to sum up you are sir a genius.
Regards from Hereford UK
This is absolutely incredible. This man has thought out every detail here. I was riveted to this whole tour! He should work as a consultant to anyone undertaking such an enormous task. I’m just blown away! Thank you Patrick for all the trouble you go to bringing us these stories! Amazing build!
Wow the placement of the shower, washing machine and toilet is GENIUS never seen it anywhere before. I wish that was possible to do in a regular van like a Ford Transit or something. Seriously genius.
Josh continues to amaze me he such a genius
This is STILL my favourite shower-bath-laundry combo set-up! Simply awesome - and I've seen dozens and dozens of different layouts!
Isn't it genius. So practical, stylish and nothing gets wet. So well thought out. 10/10
@Louise Absolutely. I've seen a "hidden" one in a VAN by the rear doors (curtain over full width cedar shower tray) - which doesn't interfere with view or access when it's not in use... but THIS one still beats everything hands down because of its bathroom/laundry/storage versatility AND the pass-through! I want a Step Van set up like this, with full head height and about 3 extra feet of length!
@@gideonporter537 exactly agree. The bathroom is brilliant, but the bed is crap. Not practical in anyway, looks terribly uncomfortable and would drive me crazy having to go to so much putting it together morning and night, let alone it all just sitting in the way all day. How could he have gone from sublime to depressing is beyond me.
@@louise7552 Oh please. You dislike one thing about this ingenious rig, out of this world detail and engineering and it's "depressing"? It's just the damn bed, the least impressive part of the whole thing! How do you get through life, lol.
I would love to listen to this guy talk and explain very amazing build. Seriously impressed.
Thank you for the support
I really wish that I could borrow this guys brain for a while!! Love the clever design of the bathroom and everything has more than one use!! One of the more genius designs, but without taking away from the nice open space and modern!! Love it!! My new fave build by far!! Well done!! 🤩
unbelievably outstanding. he just raised the bar on builds, and it's a diy to top it off. hats off to Josh.
Okay this build is Genius i have seen alot of build and conversions for van and car during 2020 to 2023 and this is by far the most thought out most well engineered and practical build ever its just a work of art a true master piece this guy is a Genius just wish he would clean his hands after touching the toilet other than that he is Genius
Appreciate the support
he could teach the manufacturers that have been around 40 years so many things. Rivian or Tesla need to recruit this gentleman so they can build adventure vehicles .
He really could
1:51 that shower is gorgeous
Love it 😊
The intake pumps for shore or river water is genius!! The Tesla battery 🔋 👌🏾 the water filter for drinking … just genius .. very well thought out ! My sons are geniuses like this ! Absolutely loved & enjoyed his Build & all the time thought energy he put into it !! Can’t wait to show my sons 👏🏾👏🏾
This young man is talented for sure. Genius use of space. This electrical is intimidating to most folks. Wow!
Totally agree
What an amazing build. Definitely a plus for the apocalypse, and a luxury home on wheels for general use..very well executed..Beautiful finishings. I'm in love with this.
Glad you enjoyed it
what a great conversion. The only thing I would change is using a lifting bed to get even more versatile space and don't need to make the bed twice a day.
Exactly
I'd probably just put the mattress on the floor and sleep there.
That bathroom setup is EVERYTHING!
It really is
FANTASTIC!!!! Even washing machine and so many beautiful filters and so much solar!
That is a marvelous build, such a work of art, and practical arrangement.
Glad you enjoyed it
Bravo ! I have watched hundreds upon hundreds of these tiny home videos, and you definitely win for ingenuity. So impressed with everything you've managed to get into such a small space.
This guy is an actual genius, that electrical cabinet is *CHEFS KISS*
Thanks sweetheart I'm 65 years old and I have established my life but I will move in a heartbeat your job well done
Only to the bathroom and already determined this is a Genius design. Great job!
Thank you for the support
I own an Airstream travel trailer and am always interested in van builds. This build is by far the best I have ever seen. The innovative ideas and space saving methods are real,y great. I can tell this is a highly complex machine and the quality of workmanship I see is by far better than most sticks and aluminum motor homes which are literal,y slapped together. I think Josh could make a fortune doing van conversions of this nature. Absolutely wonderful.
Oh, I agree. He could set up a company where he had employees doing the build outs from his designs or he could just sell the designs based on which ambulance box that somebody bought. And charge them a fair amount of money for it. Yeah this could be this could be a serious business.
I don't normally watch videos like this...After a few 2nds I switch to the next ..
I was glued like a rubber band..lolol... Firstly, the guy has an amazing smile and what he did to that ambulance is wicked..I loved and enjoyed the tour...Thank you... Absolutely fantastic..👍🏾✌🏾🙋🏾💕
Rock on!
In addition to his amazing technical/mechanical skills, he has a great eye for design. Incredible build. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the support
Brilliant in so many ways. And needs A/C that doesn’t need shore power. Wow.
He has that now
Holy Crap. Dude. PHENOMENAL. This guy’s a genius.
Glad you enjoyed it
This dude is very humble and I respect it
Glad you enjoyed the tour
The best and simple cozy build ever...
Super simple, however, very deluxe and ways
Wow, what an awesome conversion! Ambulances seem like such great options since they’re so substantial and already have such nice doors and outside cabinets. (I really like the Kodiaks, too.) Josh seems like a really smart, cool guy! Thanks for giving us the tour.
Glad you enjoyed it
The minute I saw the clear passageway without a fixed bed, I knew this was going to be good. You have a great view out those double doors, plus cargo carrying capacity. Why block it all up with a fixed in place gigantic bed? Never liked that feature.
I love this guy! A real engineering feat. That couch and bed are Swiss knives in functionality. Also love the slim and hard tatami mat concept, so great for the back. First man I have seen who does not indulge himself in 8 inches of foam mattress! Well done, Josh. It shows a disciplined mind and tough body. Very commendable.
There are so many little pieces I want to know how he built, such as:
The sliding monitor latch panel on wall, what is that sexy steel monitor arm? What kind of latches/ hinges used on bed frame to hang on wall, and the metal thingamajig on back of the couch that hooks it?
Bathroom tiles - looks like Palram type click lock waterproof tiles?
The big picture stuff like electrical, plumbing heating - very well laid out and accessible. What is spectacular is how he figured out all the electrical wiring, moved it over and reclaimed the space for the bathroom. That is truly a feat! I would love to see a detailed video on how that was done, and his electrical gadgets, inverter, Tesla Batteries, etc. Smart build, one of the best. He/She that doth figure out the power grid, hath the world in his/her hands.
Please Patrick either you or Josh should make more videos on this work of art. I am so enchanted by this build. Best I have seen from a functional view. That bathroom takes the prize! A couple of things concern me though..
1. Has Josh distributed weight evenly over the van layout? That 55 gal tank x 8 lbs per gal water is very heavy, and same side, same section also hold all the electrical + plumbing + driver weight when driving.
2. Where is the gas tank located - I hope on opposite side? Is he under the weight limit for the van with all that wood, solar, appliances? Good thing he used aluminum for framing walls and cabinets, much lighter.
This was most enjoyable to watch. What a stunning and smart build out. He did it in record time too, wow!
Excellent feedback. I don’t have the answers to the questions, however Josh may be answering comments
Your build is genius. I have lived in 4 countries and I imagine I could pretty much live anywhere this country drive. And in total comfort too. The shower was brilliant.
Go for it Deez
When he pulled out the toilet I was impressed, when he showed the damn washing machine my jaw dropped. I need an engineer in my life lol.
Awesome buildout
What a smart build!
It really is
This build is incredible... I'm jealous. Its absolutely practical, easy looking to clean, AND beautiful. But that bathroom is really something else.
Thank you 😊
His break down of that electrical cabinet was impressive 😮
I wish uncoils see it again in person
Amazingly complex and efficent design! Now you get to go out and have some great experiences with it. I built a very basic design that was warm in the winter for sleeping and holding my ski gear. It was such a free feeling to just go anywhere, no hotels, no mortgage and if you drank a little too much, you could sleep it off.
Very cool!
