Here is the time lapse video I made of myself while building out this van: th-cam.com/video/-37iGq3nasE/w-d-xo.html
Did I miss a portal potty?
Really great build. Hope you post more about your adventures!
this is honestly one of the most thoughtful tiny van builds I've seen! Amazing work bud!
Totally agree, I forgot I was watching a tiny van build,so versatile
One of the best conversion's I've seen on TH-cam for a small van. Well done. Maybe you should think about making your pull out seat as a side product to sell. Good luck in your adventures 🤗
I was *not* ready for that couch in the back!
@@MarcillaSmith Ikr!
I am pretty sure lots of people would buy one
I would buy it.
Me to
Gorgeous counter top. I like how he tells us what he would do differently.
Glad I found this. It is the BEST transit conversion by far. Well 👍 done.
Oh wow what a fantastic build! We transit connect vanlifers really need to have a rendezvous once covid is done.
I love seeing other Transit Connect builds. This one is really great!
There is no way you spent only 2k!!!! You are amazing
Some wonderful ideas, and I appreciate your polite, friendly manner. No bragging, and your joy in your accomplishment is genuine, & well deserved. God bless you!
Sweetie, that's about one of the best tiny van transformation I've e ever seen. Congratulations 👏
Nice! Great, affordable screen tip!
I love your build! It’s amazing how much you’ve built into your Transit Connect! It’s organized and neat! Great work! I’d love for you to build me a van ☺️🙌🏾
Very homey and efficient! Thank you.
That secret bench is definitely a great design - superbe use of the lost space between the van and the raised floor.
Im in the process of buying a Ford Transit Connect, this is by far one of my favorite builds, loving the bench at the end. Would love to see how you hooked up the hot water heater. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Mind the space you get with the connects unless you're buying the xlt versions
So many thoughtful features in this build make it incredibly functional. I love it. Thank you for sharing your genius with the world!
Some really great tips - the bug screens with magnets are brilliant. I love the coloured LED lights too. Great designs for the outdoor bench is ingenious. Dog is adorable too!
This is the best design I ever seen for a small van. Bravo!!!!
I love your van build, I was quite surprised when you opened the door and saw how cozy it looked inside. I think it’s so thoughtfully designed. Simple, practical but a wonderful little home on the road.
Ingenious use of space. You must rock at tetris! Thanks for sharing.
Nice build, looks homey. 😊👍
It’s clear that you put a lot of thought into the design - beautifully done.
This has to be the best build I've seen and I've watched many. You did a wonderful job and it's nicer than a professional build because they wouldn't have put all the personal touches you have nor that much storage ❤ You should be very proud ❤
I love seeing more micro van conversions. Especially with the transit connect.
Amazing build and great use of space! Love all the personal touches like the rock climbing theme, the color scheme, the patch quilt curtain and of course the hidden bench. You've definitely made it your own... And 2K was actually very inexpensive for such a beautiful build! Great job, so impressive... Happy travels!!
the best van conversion ever!!
Only one word to describe what you did....Awesome.
A great design! Love it!
Your van design is my favorite thus far. The kitchen backsplash looks amazing. I love the orange color of the cushions. I will take a few pages off your book for my build. Thanks for sharing the time lapse video as well.
I just love how you have managed to use every single bit of space and used less expensive items like the salad bowl for your sink was brilliant.I also loved the way the couch platform slide out to make a large bed with the cushions. I think you should really consider designing Van's for other people because it is not only so well done but you have packed a ton of storage in the van that is useful. Thanks for the tour of your van. You are so organized. I have subscribed to your channel.
This is by far the best Lil build I've seen
Forgot to mention the curtain you sew the patches to is really a neat idea. And quite eye catching too. Good conversation piece!
❤️💜💚
Just wipe the window down with soapy water and add a bead of silicone to prevent it from leaking. Or cut out a bigger hole for a larger window. Shouldn't be too difficult.
Cool idea on the divider. Nice, quality build. I really enjoy the aesthetics, which is saying a lot for a weirdo like me. I like the look of the inside. The stuff in back of your drawers you can put in a basket, or use some flat panel with a piece of board on the back to pull things forward.
Prettiest dog I've ever seen. Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your van.
This is inspiring! Still in planning stages, looking for all the "best" ideas and you have a lot! Lots of storage, and it all looks do-able and not over-the-top. Kudos on your sewing skills too.
Holy crap, that is nice! Not what I expected at all.
I’m 72 and used to camp in a used Sportsmobile. I crossed paths at Zion NP with a photographer who used her Ford Transit van to camp simply. I thought, I wonder if anyone has ever done a camper conversion for one of those. Obviously, yes. Your end product is incredible!
I have looked at a lot of mini vans and I want you to know that this is the most beautiful one I have seen. Much happiness on your new life
Bench in the back is pure genius! Will need to borrow that for my Ford Transit.
Beautiful build!
You did an outstanding job. I was scoping out these smaller vans as I just found the big ones too expensive to buy and remodel. Now I'm convinced its doable. They now make the small propane tanks in fillable version so that you can work off a 20# at home. I always hated throwing away those small tanks. It seemed like such a waste. You need to show off your dog more!.
One of the best small ones I’ve seen! Great job.
This is one of the best builds I’ve seen in a Transit Connect. I agree having drawers under the bed would be easier to access. I am interested in your auxiliary battery set up & how u have the electrical equipment set up. Also your water setup is great. I would def need a portable potty. I would cover it & use as extra seat or footstool. Maybe could put it on front seat during day. Your pooch is adorable. Happy travels, Mo in NJ
Seeing lots of tiny vans for van life and they are so cool I just wish I could stand up in them
I love the idea of the stainless steel bowl sink! Genius idea!
This is amazing. Lots of great ideas that make the best of a tiny space, and it looks really aesthetically pleasing at the same time. Great job!
Really nice van build!
Wow, this is one of the beat transit connect van builds I have seen and I have looked at a lot!
No way... That secret bench is amazing. 😁❤️
My goodness, Austin! I have seen many van build videos, including several in your type of van but NO ONE has shown such creativity and style! I love what you've done and how beautiful and clever everything is (especially the metal bench!! I hope you enjoy a gazillion adventures in your tiny camper! I'm thinking of copying your van and enjoying a bunch of travel with my daughter! We might even build up TWO vans, one for her and one for me and just travel together and see this beautiful country! Thanks, Austin, for the inspiration!
Wow! Really a thoughtful build! Thank you for sharing... 🥰🥰🥰
Great job. Love that hidden-beneath-the-floor slide out seat!! Awesome little van conversion. You should be proud!
You're genius! I love all the details you did. You have a great taste. I love it.
Well thought out 👍 Some ergonomic issues, but you'll fix 'em. Love the rumble seat 😎
I love the unique, quirky features & the use of space. Cozy 😮& fun build👍🏻
I love this van build! Very well thought out
I love your ideas, it will save my money to build a van life, thank you for sharing
Be glad it's so small and economical especially with gas prices going crazy right now! Cool build! I would hate to have a black vehicle in the summer however!
Your outside seating is genius!!!
holy cow! So much thought, purpose, and intention into this build!!!!
Excellent build.Absolutely beautiful.
Great design and very neat. Congratulations! Enjoy your work doing great travels and having fun
Love this van
It has everything you need to live comfortably
Love, love, love it. I’ve been watching dozens of these builds and yours by far is the best. It’s ingenious, functional and attractive. Super job!!!
Interesting build! My favorites were the rear bench and shower setup, very creative!
Wow, I want my 2012 like that. Talent! You did a great job. I want to travel in my van, I just bought it, very very low miles for a 9 y/o van. Can't wait to do it. My nephew and his dad are going to convert it for me. I lost my husband in 2019 and time to live again.
Amazing! This is the most impressive Ford Transit Connect conversion I've seen, wow!
Good job on the video. I'm doing one like yours, also taking a year to complete as I have to budget out the expenses.
Really enjoyed your build! Great video and your comments were helpful. I definitely got some inspiration from it!
best van build I think I ever saw
The side of the cupboard lowering and serving as a table/desk/countertop is a genius idea 💡
Hot water heater is amazing, love the little outside bench and the spice jar idea. one of the best micro camper conversations I've seen
Absolutely beautiful blend of style and function! Nicely done!
Cozy little abode. Well done.
Great build! Very functional. The bench is fantastic! ❤
The puppy dog is a cutie.
Nice build great idea using tongue and groove on the roof looks great nice idea for getting rid of grey water all around excellent ideas thanks for sharing Dale
What a comfy little van! I absolutely love your custom-built couch frame at the rear. That is brilliant.🐨🌷
What a charming van build! Like how the cushions pick up the orange in the dead beetle wood. Everything so well designed.
I love this build. You made it exactly for what you needed and incorporated so many great design elements from the beetle board to the rock climbing pulls. Incredibly thoughtful. You and your Dad must’ve enjoyed working on this project. And most of lol I just love your dog! Adorable sitting in the front seat waiting for the next adventure! Best of luck to you! 😀
I dig the bug net idea
love the little climbing equipment touches
Awesome job Austin, greets from Germany 🇩🇪
Wow you’ve packed so much style and utility into such a small space, great job.
Fantastic small camper!!! Great job!!!
Smart idea using the window screen material. Brilliant back door custom bench seat!!
Outstanding build!!! Thank you for sharing :)
One of the nicest DIYs Ive seen.
Lovely build - best wishes for your adventures.
The little circle window is so cute!
This is the most beautiful Transit Connect ever!
Well done! I have watched thousands of Van Builds but yours has so far resonated with me and gets most out of compact van
Nice and simple, I love the Beatle wood design with the port window💙Love the outside seat you made, good job 💙
this is my favorite transit conversion so far!!!!
Ok that pull out bench is insane. Never seen that before. Super cool. I guess you lose an inch of headroom but… worth it.
I just came across your vid and I’m so impressed how Beautiful you built your Van out. I’m considering on getting into the van life I’m much older, but feel this is a calling. I would love and wish you can build my little van out. Congratulations it’s absolutely beautiful what a great job!
One of the best I have seen! I may use some of these ideas to incorporate into a pop up camper shell build. Thank you.
Nice build! Maybe buy a rain guard that you usually place above vehicle windows, and place that right above your port hole window to help block rain build up it might help some.
Amazing van! Stay safe from the UK
Wow! Just wow. Splendid, ingenious and creative build. Hearing what you'd do different is helpful too. But it's excellent the way it is! Happy travels and climbing (lots of bouldering in NM, check out Box Canyon) 😃
