    I've seen at least 75 van conversion van videos and this one definately makes my top 3 most favorite conversions. Excellent use of space, (love the laundry chute 😉) beautiful under cabinet and over LED lighting and beautifully functional shelving filled with gorgeous greenery and wonderful memories. Extremely aesthetically pleasing to the eye!

      This was one of my favorites as well. I hate to admit but it took me half the video to figure out who was, "Blackhawk ". I thought it was a building company. Then I figured out it was her adorable father of her fur kids....ie husband. I was about to go look for that company on line. Don't tell anyone I admitted that. 😉

    What a wonderful couple. They are not only super talented but great to work with.
    They are helping us build our overlander box van conversion for our documentary film.
    The amount of real world knowledge and skills shine through inthe quality and functionality of their builds.
    I decided to work with them over others because how Blackhawk took the time to explain how for our use some things would be better than others without sounding condescending.
    Again highly recommend.

      Some people are klostophobic, that's why a lot of people opt for an open, fresh layout that doesn't look crammed and overwhelming. They just put the toilet inside ant this works for them. Everyone has different need and there is no wrong way for choosing your own layout. That's why you don't have to understand anyone

One day there will be someone that will ask your assistance in building their own van ... and I see a possibility for a business here. Your attention to detail and expertise, in the assembly and fabrication of this beautiful machine, sets you a big step above others.

    I went to your web site .... found out I am a little late with my suggestion. You would be my first choice.

    One doesn't often see microwaves very often in vans, but I like them as they are so good for reheating leftovers. One can then cook greater amounts of food to be saved in (larger) refrigerators reducing the amount of cooking necessary. That's the solution for me.
    P.S. Great cabinet work! Nice design as well.

  • @ifinicle

    I liked many things in this van.
    1) Most importantly they added Two Extra Leaf Suspension at the back suspension + 4 more spring suspension or other whatever you call it, at all 4 wheels. The Alloy Wheels.
    2) Two side Door Openings, which we don't see in VlCamper Van. That's unique.
    3) Huge Solar Panel Project on the roof of the van. Which is great electricity allday & night without interruption.
    4) The rear side, how they managed to keep fuel cans & storage boxs behind the doors.
    5) Front Mounted 4 Flood Lights on the top of the Van on the Driver's Cabin, The Awning Lights & The Steps Lights. Extended Steps.
    6) Lifted some height of the van.
    Which can be used on rough road.

    Having room to store the patio rug easily is a great idea. Having one of those is something people often don't think of, until much later. But it is actually pretty high on the list for an accessory you want to have along. Big RV's usually have enough storage areas behind outside panels. Vans usually don't.

    Awesome. Well thought out. A lot of storage. But I would have used the standing cupboard as a closet and put the microwave in one of the shelves above the kitchen. The fridge area looks tight. I'll put a standing fridge instead. Also didn't see a shower head. Like the fact that you thought of books and gave a lot of space for it. You hardly see that in other vans. You can also add some plants and flowers.

You both are such a great speakers. I hope you really enjoy your van life. I’m doing a concession trailer build out myself. I’m in no hurry going to take a year or at least to do it. Can’t wait to get out there myself. My name is Dutch’s maybe I’ll see you around. I do stocks going to post things on TH-cam here pretty soon. Teach people how to do stocks correctly.
