    Thanks for sharing !
    Your pictures are in my PC wallpaper. LOL
    I'm currently in the process of converting my van and this is one of the most cozy designs I've seen.
    Thank you.

    One of my favorite vans! Something I particularly love, is how you incorporated the white van with the wood interior by blending some of the wood with a white-wash finish. This really ties beautifully with the exterior color and brings harmony and balance by allowing the natural wood colors to invite the eye inside, rather than over power. I mean, I love many all-wood interiors also, but your design is simply pleasing all away around. Very well-thought out. Thank you both so much for sharing!

    Looks real nice. Never see the need for a sink though, takes up too much room. I have a Econoline build and I put my 6 gal jug wedged next to the side door with a 12'' hose to let the water drain onto the ground or into a bucket or dishpan.

    Like the fixed bed setup. We did the same basic layout in our E150. If anyone is curious, if you keep your walls thin someone 6' or less can sleep sideways in the Ford's. It's especially do-able if you're a side sleeper with a little 'bend'.

    I am always amazed at how efficient small spaces can be utilized. I was initially on the hunt for a van pretty much like you have, but the small bus I have right now I’m converting came up for sale for the right price and I just could not pass it up. And if I ever rebuild I will probably downsize to a van.

      @JanNeal I own an E350 Extended and thought about getting a tall one but I like being able to fit in any parking garage. I’ll save standing height for RV or converted cargo trailer.

    Nice build - looks good. Which engine does your van have? I’m wondering if the 6cyl is much more economical than the V8. Also do you have a link for that rechargeable tap you have - looks neat. 👍🏻

    • @jalexb915
      @jalexb915 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Get a V8. More power, and not much worse on MPG. Plus it should last longer since it doesn't have to be overworked like a V6

    • @flowrob6861
      @flowrob6861 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      U can use smal size drill bit for starter hole . Once u have gone through wood panel & metal , small self tapping hex head will create the threaded hole. Pan head screws of same size will attach panel to doors . Use ArticKing duct foam with self adhesive to insulate inside door .

    Is interesting that they made the comment about the Econoline's being good on gas mileage...here in the states a similar van gets 13 mpg which is AWFUL...and thus this wonderful sized van is off my list....the build out is BEAUTIFUL...i love how simple, efficient and pretty it is...very nice thanks for sharing.

    • @flowrob6861
      @flowrob6861 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Some time MPG is Just part of the cost . Here sold walls means Commercial insurance rates $$ , newer vans got monthly $$ & higher insurance costs . Our gas $$ is less than monthly payments .

      @@flowrob6861 You are right about the trade offs for lower gas mileage...this pandemic makes small van life hard and those tradeoffs are looking like something I should just try to figure out...thanks for your comments and perrspective..

    No heat? No cooling? No bathroom? No refridgerator? No shower? Vans aren't too wide so I coulding sleep in that short bed. The "table" needs a support or it won't last too long. I give this build a failing grade.
