    I LOVE how this was a family affair putting this together and he credits his parents for their input, AWESOME

    This is by far one of the most gorgeous builds I've seen! The whole aesthetic is phenomenal! It truly looks like a little house. There are countless beautiful builds out there but many of them look the same; this is so unique - rustic but classy, budget but luxurious. I especially love the regular couch. A huge BRAVO! to Jimmy and his Dad for this accomplishment. Safe travels!!

      My gosh thank you so very much! It’s kinda odd for me I felt like an artist while I created it and second guessed myself the entire time so hearing things like this truly warms my heart! Thank you 🙏🏻

    Hey,
    I absolutely love your kitchen up front with the lift section. I have a 1985 econoline coachman that I built and put my kitchen counters with a pass through lift counter in mine. However, yours is by far much much nicer than mine!
    Your entire van build is so beautiful and well thought out. The steal is such an eye pleaser too. I also love how you put ur sofa right there below the bed.
    I am very impressed with your van build.
    Thank you for letting us in ur home!

    • @jamesg6638
      @jamesg6638 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    *I love his van. It's different. Everyone always does the same old layout and color. I do think he could have put in a shower that could hidden or as a double use. And I do love that the couch looks different. It looks like an actual couch. Love the plants too.*
    *I have always loved the kitchen where he has it. And that you can still get to the front. And the extra pull out board for extra countertop.*
    💙💙💙💙

  • @suzannecranford6819
    @suzannecranford6819 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Fab build! I think front kitchens are the way to go, floor plan wise, and this is the best of the best. The flip up/pull out counter section is awesome, and I like that it creates the little hallway to the front. He's used that space so wisely. This, to me, is the epitomy of a great van build. Tons of style and creativity, while keeping it simple and not going crazy with fancy gadgets. AND... Of course, I love that it's a Promaster! As always, thanks for the tour and inspiration! 💗

This shows you can do super build on a budget with solutions like the jackery and portable ac for those who would like that option! Great van tour.

    Gorgeous van. Shout out to you for mentioning the Olympian wave 3. I'm in NJ wanting to live in a van but afraid of how to make it thru the long, cold winters. Most van lifers talk about how to stay cool in the heat but rarely does anyone mention how to stay warm. Thanks. And by the way, the kitchen up front is genius. Love the layout.

    this is very very well designed for multi use studio type living for 1 person or even a couple. air conditioning is important only if you are in the van during the daytime a lot or have a dog/ baby health issues. we have an air conditioner and must run it off our generator set up. It wipes out the 200amh lithium batteries in 90 minutes- plus it depends how you live- if you work all day in hospitality - you are just coming home to « chill » and start again - great variety on the different tours lately

As far as going #1 I have the eamon and bec funnel system installed HIGHLY recommend this method! (Check out there TH-cam channel they go into full detail on this funnel system).

And my hand is fisted. I want a different life . I think it's fear . But once I start working and save some money I think I will at least try. But beautiful build and enjoy your travels.
