DECKED OUT MICRO CAMPER | FULL TOUR | Promaster City

[@RR-ss7dn]

Really clean build. I am so happy to finally see someone put AC in a micro. I wouldn’t do it without AC in any van

[@lourdesylagan8835]

I love how clean you hide all of your electrical components. Easy to understand what does what.

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thanks!

[@MobileFreedomEnterprise]

The AC please!!! Please post a video with all the details about that roof AC unit. Thank you

[@aceventuraaceventura2003]

This is the most ideal micro van camper conversion out there. Well done.

[@604rioso]

You're THE TOP builder of smaller vans on youtube....love your builds and content! Cheers!

[@Josh_Oakes]

Really appreciate it!

[@glendasexton4777]

My heart ❤️ is beating so fast. This is exactly what I want in a van. I have been dreaming about it and this was is exactly of my dreams minus a potty. But I’m sure you can find a way.

[@Not-px7vd]

You have to contact him through his site! When I'm ready, he's the only one I'll let do my build.

[@jamesdelap4085]

EMERGENCY POTTY ONLY. . .Why ruin a good setup?

[@lavkmr1]

Remove the right seat to store a potty box 😅

[@Itsgonnabeok4]

It really is perfect!

[@marcusholtzmann8387]

This build must cost $25,000 or more. If you have that kind of deposable cash for a van conversion you’re one lucky person.

[@BB-it3ks]

Very nice! The faucet doubling as an outdoor shower/rinse is especially sleek and clever!

[@Josh_Oakes]

Comes in handy on these smaller vans, thanks!

[@bellarose6509]

First, your little self talk comments are very charming! Your van is what I call elegant simplicity. You have everything you’d need for a short excursion. I love the butcher block and the use of natural wood. I remember when I saw the window with the butcher block, I thought, “hmmm, there is space in there…why?” Very clever to put your electrical in an easy to reach spot. Great job!😊

[@scratchcratch]

I am looking for something other than a permanent dwelling solution. Still, I am looking into options allowing me to camp for about two months a year across North America. And after literally watching hundreds of videos, I believe it is my dream build. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

[@stef2282]

one of the best made microcampers i have seen! Very smart. The cladding is great & drawers look really well made

[@blinkbob5550]

I plan on adding one more Redodo battery to my Rv. I am 100% happy with their customer service and how fast they comunicate with you.

[@Josh_Oakes]

I like the sound of that!

[@dan9441]

Nice build Josh! I love your pragmatic sensibilities.

[@lorrainenicoletti6232]

Clean clean clean awesome. Class materials and style . I just Live Love this Van!

[@jatorresrv]

Another well-thought-out and nicely build van. Thanks for sharing.

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@ollvebranch]

What a lovely build! The leather work adds great finishing touches. I would like to have seen more design features on the back double doors with built-in nooks like I’ve seen on some of your other builds. Also I’d love to see you design/build a telescopic tarp to straddle the doors and make even more indoor/outdoor space as well as a pullout outdoor kitchen/table.

[@grantcarson6412]

Absolutely mind blowing design and quality. I know it's been said but the electrical alone in this van is jawdropping.

[@Radio4ManLeics]

Nice workmanship, and a very suitable design for the van. Some folk try to put too much into a smaller van. Love the leather handles.

[@simonaarflot4743]

Best campervan yet, thoughtful and simple! Feels heavy, but the smart comfort is unbeatable!

[@lashazachariah5495]

This is very nice and simple leaving it up to the client to still customize on their own. Well done. I do have questions but will refer to your site.

[@Josh_Oakes]

Appreciate it!

[@jeremymarble6172]

Beautiful! You do such nice, clean work.

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thank you!

[@sinankocak9916]

Great master, I can say that she is the best I have ever seen, I do not know a master who can do this much detail, may God give health to you and your hands, greetings from Turkey.(

[@LeeWeems]

Do you have more information on that AC unit?

[@GeekTherapyRadio]

Just imagine chilling in there making French Press coffee and some eggs and bacon with the doors open, feeling the cool morning breeze while looking at the Grand Tetons in July...

[@johnken0]

This build is absolutely incredible! I wasn't sure if all these could be done in such a small footprint Micro Camper van Sink Fridge Electric Stove Air Vent + A/C Solar Panels Good countertop space for cooking + WFH The fact that you were able to fit all of that in a very clean manner is incredible! I think the only major amenity is a toilet, which perhaps could be some cassette toilet stowed away somewhere. I do find it a little odd that there isn't a curtain or covering between the front and the rear but every client is different. If the conditions line up, in a few years I might become a client! Amazing work Josh

[@Josh_Oakes]

Appreciate it! There is a note about the window coverings for the front cab in the video but they decided to go with pop in window covers.

[@Not-px7vd]

Josh is where I'll go for a build. Seems like he delivers what the client needs.

[@sarahbehler5437]

Your electrical is always so clean! Beautifully done. This is the part of builds that scare me. I might mess up other things but am confident that, eventually , I could figure things out. Lol, not electrical though! I’d burn things down!!! Yours is always so neat & tidy but so many folks have crazy chaos of wires going on! Those batteries sound super interesting! Love your beds, too!

[@shawnb3644]

Very nice build. Your work is very clean. Cheers from Canada

[@Josh_Oakes]

Appreciate it!

[@Humalain369]

I send you all my gratitude and love for your creation, I like it, it's simple and sufficient, and beautiful. Well done 👏

[@Thuradan]

Love your builds

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thank you!

[@betsylt]

This is aesthetically pleasing and efficiently designed. And nicely crafted.

[@Josh_Oakes]

Appreciate it!

[@OatGoats44]

Such a clean build and it’s really well-thought-out I especially like the air conditioning unit on top

[@LillySombr]

One of the best tiny builds I’ve seen. How long is the bed?

[@Pipboy83]

Looks class mate :) Electrics look great and well organised too!

[@Josh_Oakes]

🙏🏻 thanks man!

[@larrylipshitz1553]

Awesome small van build, exactly what I’d prefer

[@nancyternasky9627]

What a great little build! I just discovered you and will be checking out your other projects.

[@thunderbear0]

How the electric system works? You can run all of those AC refrigerator pump other items 24/7 from solar without any help from van alternator or battery?

[@ramyhuber8392]

thanks wonderful to see this amazing what we can do now with advances in solar inverter and battery technology. Beautiful!!!

[@GWCLLC]

Super clean and nice design. Probably the cleanest I've seen. Thanks for sharing!

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thank you thank you!

[@jackwinter1385]

Is there anything you didn't think about? I don't think so. Simple and perfect. Clean design. The result is simply perfect. Congratulations 👍

[@sandyschulz7290]

You do a great job on how clean it looks and you made it very functional. Sweet!

[@nannycawete3844]

Hello from Belgium and France ! 😊 Nice to see a other van. Always still 👍

[@Josh_Oakes]

👌🏻 thanks for the support!

[@shellyjay8954]

I love the clean smooth style. The window curtains are a nice touch.

[@cmargo10]

I really like it. I would really love to see it packed up and wear everything fits. Clothes, hygiene, kitchen/cooking items etc

[@ekdaufin1485]

Love that hook on the door under the sink for the hose! No drip. Smart!

[@mermaidlafemme1022]

One word BRILLIANT ❤ I have liked and subscribed to show support for your channel 🤗 hugs from Scotland

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Not-px7vd]

I think this is your best build ever! I could really see myself living in this van. I love the fold-out table on the end of the counter. Can I ask what's going on with the back doors? Nothing custom there?

[@Josh_Oakes]

Appreciate it! No plans for the back doors at this time but could certainly be modified down the road 👌🏻

[@Not-px7vd]

@@Josh_Oakes thanks for letting me know

[@bobbycampos6576]

So which of these “mini transit” style vans do you like best? First I wanted an AWD Chevy Astro but now they are all old and have various problems. I like these new small cargo vans but I don’t believe any are AWD. So that being said which do you like best and which has the largest interior? Currently I’m leaning towards the NV-200

[@lindapascua-q2b]

This is perfect from inside. Would you able to do pop up tent so i can stand up in the van?

[@geofftefl]

Would the roof mounted A/C replace the need for a standard engine driven A/C? Can the roof unit operate while driving?

[@pearljamin]

Great job! You are killing it! Thank you for sharing

[@richehoya]

Great van build very practical I have a 2017 Nissan nv200 thinking about getting that built out

[@TheBassman396]

The electrical behind the door is simply brilliant good job love those little vans

[@nancycartwright5274]

Love your builds. Can you please do a video about building the extended shelf and the cabinet above the cab? Thanks!!!

[@leizaharpur9899]

Brilliant. Love how thoughtful the placement of sink/outdoor shower !!

[@277kne]

This is well designed and built van. Would like to know if the rear doors swing back to the van. I haven't seen too many of these in the larger or small vans. The Sprinter and Transit offers them.

[@kellypoulos8702]

Compact, efficient and oh sooooo lovely!

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thank you Thank you!

[@gregc6661]

Your work is incredibly neat and professional. I wish you all the success.

[@sellsformoola]

Nice out shower set-up too.

[@Josh_Oakes]

Appreciate it, definitely helps in these smaller set ups!

[@SmallVansBigWorld]

Wow, you bravely put a roof top AC on one of these small vans! I've thought about it, it just is so much weight and takes up so much roof space. Great job!

[@ekdaufin1485]

AC yay! Will that battery run it or do you have to be plugged in ?

[@myrnamicheo7251]

Does that AC run from that battery? If so, for how long?

[@kke]

Looking at the Promaster City cargo space, it seems like you could have had a similiar recess behind the kitchen area

[@FlyhighLittleDrone]

I own one of those promaster cargo vans and I wish it was built out like this. I mean that electrical is so tidy.

[@shelliebeno4949]

Aesthetically please and well equipped build. Thanks for sharing.

[@nightstringers]

No such thing as too much power. Always good to have more than you think you'll need. looks great . Thanks for sharing .

[@phillipbuckley-pu7my]

Excellent video, excellent van!! I'd give my right arm for one...ime converting a van soon and travelling the beauty spots of the UK.

[@uigoku2449]

A fold down tv n blackout curtain and I would love to have this..

[@brettie_b]

Love this build and have watched this video a few times. What is the rooftop AC unit you have installed here?

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thanks! It’s made by a company called Velit. I have no affiliation with them but that is the brand that was used on this build!

[@christyeidson]

What kind of air conditioner is it?

[@SeaNicStudios]

What a great little camper. Well done!

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thank you!

[@anneallbright3644]

Love your build. Curious, what is the height between the top of the mattress and the ceiling?

[@Etoiledusud15]

very nice job. Clean and most of all SIMPLE but classy and warm design... All this very well thought for this kind of small space... I am a woman and I have the same vision of arrangement and for example, I like that the kitchen be quasi invisible... I don't like to much seeing a kitchen in a small living place... it is not Feng Shui... A pity that I live in Belgium... I am travelling in my Berlingo Citroen, that I have arranged in a simple but very zen and nomadic way... I mean that I can move everything easily inside and make as if nobody could see I was travelling /sleeping inside.... I mean it is very discreet...I found a lot of "nomadic" tricks... I can live very simple and free but always beautiful...

[@dustinz3449]

Josh you always do the best builds on KZbin. I’m in the process of doing an NV200 using the bed plans you sell on your website. Do you have any plans to restock your leather drawer pulls? I want to buy 15 of the brown ones when they’re back up. Thanks!

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thank you! I hope to have them all re stocked soon🤞There are some tan ones available still!

[@taylorhedrick7722]

Do you have a link to the water jug that you used??

[@LukeOnTheRoad]

Love it. Such great attention to detail. Well done sir.

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thank you!

[@bryanniven.]

“Keep rhyming”😂 Seriously though, such beautiful builds.👍

[@josephpiskac2781]

WOW Totally cool great design and construction. Makes my RAM PROMASTER CITY look like shit. If I had extra money that I don't I would be scheduling a build out. Really deserve recognition for high quality van conversions.

[@Josh_Oakes]

Appreciate it!

[@cheriemarshall2025]

As always, well done!

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thank you!

[@104mrcomedy]

that a really nice build, i especially like the tripod

[@itscolumk]

Great build.... Where can we acquire these magnetic hose clips? 👀

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Another beautiful build, Josh! Very nice. This has style. I love the backlit inset storage cubby behind the bed. Lovely place for books, phone charging, artwork, etc. The kitchen galley is very functional. The butcher block countertop looks like 1 - 1.25 inch thickness. If you used a thinner board, would it start to warp? I have to redo my Class C RV countertop (L-shaped) and would welcome any feedback regarding warping if I go 1/2 - 3/4 inch thickness. This van is perfect for camping and tours. Very easy to park, and lots of functionality. Great tour, thank you!

[@colettemallory3813]

What a wonderful creation. I love this! It is marvelous.

[@BeanieBots]

SUCH AN AMAZING BUILD! SO AWESOME!!!

[@barbarajanebelanger7878]

Nicest micro camper I’ve seen. Very sleek and clean. I want one.

[@freedawatermelon]

The perfect van build.

[@fabriziomanfredi5206]

Very nice setup I loved, simple is the best way ❤❤❤❤❤❤ . Good job man.

[@mrs.onyango6504]

Nice camper van build as usual your builds are great

[@myepicjourney8275]

I have the same vehicle, a 2020 how can I get you to fix mine like yours?

[@Josh_Oakes]

briarwoodvans.com 👌

[@myepicjourney8275]

if I come out to where you are would you fix my van the same. of course I would cover the cost and labour.

[@Not-px7vd]

He gives his site url at the beginning of the video

[@tamhicks523]

You didn't show the front seats of the van. Driver comfort is very important for me. Nice job on this small van. Is there a space for a potty?

[@saratemp790]

Do you have those little heaters? Also maybe you could make the sink area a little narrower, and put a slide out portable toilet cabinet in that three drawer area. Edit- you can make little hanging cups to hold silverware and glasses along the wall above countertop to make up for lost drawers.

[@loriproia8637]

Purchased your bed build plans but I need more information about the build. What are the overall dimensions and diagram for the bed? Does this build plan work for promaster city, nv200 and ford transit connect? Does the build put the bed over the wheel wells, if not do you know how to accommodate over wheel well build

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thanks for picking up the plans! The dimensions are listed in the plans as well as on the product page on my website. The plans can be modified to fit your needs and can be used in any van type. It is not designed to fit over a wheel well but could be modified to do so. Hope that helps and good luck! - Josh

[@rayneday-trippin2554]

Your builds are epic andso efficient great work 😍🤩

[@aguyinarkansas]

Do you have a heater installed? Or does the AC unit have a heat element? Awesome video

[@MR_THINQ]

Nice job, like the attention to detail.

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thanks!

[@rgruenhaus]

If I have an ICECO freezer APL55 and a Oupes Mega 2 with 2 240 watt solar panels can your build out integrate these in a transit I anticipate buying?

[@vanlife_dreamer]

Another beautiful build!

[@Josh_Oakes]

Appreciate it!

[@koeielul112]

Nice build! But isn't everything pretty heavy? The battery, the massive wood in the kitchen etc?

[@LetsbeYannis]

Great work man! How much are these conversions approximately in a range? Without the van being bought that is.

[@Josh_Oakes]

Thank you! You can find pricing info on my website briarwoodvans.com

[@ZanyZoomers]

I just love this. We are converting our micro van, this is ideal…

[@mozebytak]

Great construction, and presentation. Good example. Thank you.

[@SumerianArtist]

Compact and efficient design. Bravo!

[@tanyamassey9438]

Very nice. Simple.
