What is the size of your bed? I’ve been thinking about a econoline, and wondering if I could sleep sideways in one.
Dude, this is exactly what I want to build in the van that I’m picking up tomorrow. I’ve been looking online for some inspiration
Wait? Did you get rid of your Subaru?
Your van for sale? And or do you have plans drawn up that you could share or sell to me I have a e-150 I just bought want to do a similar set up that you did! Would appreciate the feed back either way thanks man! This will be my first build out for fulltime living
how do chase shower & poo pee?
Two things you said that has made me decide to get a passenger van rather than a cargo, even though I will have to have the seats pulled. You highlighted the vents in the back and the side windows that pop open. I think it’s more challenging to mount cabinets/shelves up over part of the windows but I love all of the windows in a passenger van. Many cargo vans don’t have enough windows for me to feel comfortable.
I laughed when you talked about using the ice chest. 😄 From my experiences with the very temporary barbecues and picnics, I know I don’t want to even start using one on the road. Your build is simple and almost minimal but it is so clean and beautiful. You must be a skilled cabinet builder. Nice presentation. Cutie little furry friend. Thanks for sharing and best wishes!
Next conversion… how about a pontoon boat to a house boat!
Chase – Ok, if you want to sell it, here I am:) Contact me. I do not do Instagram.
YOUR NOT FULL TIME , U STILL OWN A HOUSE
Hey Chase, thanks for this helpful info! Any chance you can identify the additional toilet component (from Home Depot) you used to lengthen the water valve?
Is you dog a boy or girl, you kept going back and forth with 24:42 guy and then 24:48 Her at the end?
? Border collie MINI? or going to be full size?? How much? My daughter just got one for $150 in Boise
My philosophy on Van life is k.i.s.s. Use the Van like a hard tent. Move frequently stay clean
Awesome van. My main quarrel with most van builds, is people putting 10k-50k into a van build….. You built a camper/rv, more expensive than an actual camper/rv. Dont get me wrong, I see the appeal, and as I said, I love the van build, but its just not for me. I spent $1200 for my old conversion van. Spent maybe $500 at most on the entire build. Been living in it for almost 2 years now.
Really well thought out design
Phenomenally done!
Great channel great video
I saw a video of a couple who took their van to "Fiberine" in California and had a fiberglass high top installed. That’s an option if you can’t find a high top for sale.
Great build!
good for you
Would you like to test SUV Doorstep or RV Propane Quick Connect ?
I’m european, italian to be precise – so common places want me classy, elegant and branded clothes all over BUT… i just go crazy for those V8 conversion camper vans. Just adore!
May be sick somehow…?
Excellent build
awesome van build! I noticed your cabinets cover the top of your windows. How does that work with condensation? How did you install the cabinets to be over the windows?
What a wonderful time to come across this video, about to do the exact same thing with almost the exact van (2002 E150)
48 DEGREES
We have been living in our 1999 ford econoline conversion for the past 5 months we love it
where’s that piece you have inside of your Water Tank you said was from a toilet?
I’ve got the same push bumper on my E-150 cargo van, looks super cool but you ain’t pushing shit with it. It will fold up like an aluminum can.
Amazing build !!! Love that puppy too !!
Living the dream!
Can you fit on the bed horizontally (from wall to wall)?
I fell in love with the background view!
Do you know why Drew Simms is not posting anymore? I know you too are a follower. I heard he was robbed?
So nice.
I became an instant fan as soon as you said crocs are essential. My guy lolol
What kind of wood did you use to build the bed frame with compartments below?
My rear AC blower has ducts that run up through the middle of the ceiling. Did you remove those completely?
I had to watch it twice cuz the first time I kept wondering where is the puppy 😆 😁😏 you have an awesome set up happy traveling 🤗
Hi I just watched your conversion van video. I’m interested in how you power your max fan? I was considering a fan but I wasn’t sure if you needed shore power to run it. Any information would be appreciated! Great job!

3 week build and a WEDDING… NO Big Deal Congrats! !
Nice build, I have an E150 that’s a fiberglass topped conversion style that i’m currently working on. I was wondering what you used for a mattress?
Thank you so much this video Helps on so many levels
Do u buy an old E150 kind of thinking it may need a new transmission ? Thx !
What is the size of your bed? I’ve been thinking about a econoline, and wondering if I could sleep sideways in one.
At least paint the roof white. Baking in a dark colored vehicle sucks.
How tall are you. im pushing 6’2. Dunno if i could sleep sideways in that build :/
Awesome build. Very clean and functional. I see swivel seat base in the future so you and your company can both sit and have a conversation. 😉
Thanks for sharing !
Beautiful set-up !
Love the hot water kettle…is it 12v?
