Ford Transit Cargo Van Space

[@OldSoulPammy]

Best showing of the Transit cargo space that I've seen, thanks! ☮️❤️😎

[@CarsWithSteve]

You're welcome!

Thanks. I'm 6' and looking at the eTransit medium roof. I don't plan to put in a floor. I'd like to remove one of two of the roof ribs where they connect in front of the side door.

[@CarsWithSteve]

It would be a little tight to stand up in the medium roof but not impossible at the same time. Curious.. are you using it for a business or converting to an electric camper?

[@12vLife]

@@CarsWithSteve I have a custom and unique design in mind for mixed use where I install a back firewall and camp very stealth and rustic in the front, but still use the back of the van like a workshop. I'm doing this with a much smaller van (video on my channel). I likely be tempted to fabricate a large custom hatch or solar roof which I know sounds crazy or brave on brand new EV van.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Great idea! Shooting a video on the process would probably pop off, an EV camper is pretty rare

[@josipdolic6391]

I wanna go camping with this!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Right? I've seen some really creative Transit builds and they look great

I'm really looking at some kind of Ford Transit cargo van to transform into a fishing kayak van because I'm sick of loading it in and out of my truck but I can't find anything around here or long enough to hold my kayak and I'm just not trying to use my truck or pull a separate enclosed trailer I just want an all-in-one setup

[@CarsWithSteve]

Are you looking at storing the kayak right inside or mounted on the roof with a ladder to access it? How long is the kayak that you have?

[@ghamm777]

@@CarsWithSteve directly inside. Full set up

[@CarsWithSteve]

Medium/High roof with the extended length could work if you mount it diagonally depending on the length

[@ghamm777]

@@CarsWithSteve I have a 10 by 5 enclosed trailer that my kayak fits in perfect. I was looking at the medium high roof with extended length. That would be more space than my trailer

[@CarsWithSteve]

Sounds like you have the build figured out! Mixed order times depending on the rest of the configuration but you're probably looking between 6 - 12 months before it's assembled

[@jazzhands4274]

I don't like that the doors don't fully open back against the truck like on the sprinter van

[@CarsWithSteve]

They do swing open all the way...

I'm looking to get a cargo van with a high roof im.ovet 6 foot, pass through from cab to cargo, add shelves, a spot for a composting toilet and a place to wash hands, extra lights, and right hand drive conversion to deliver mail and packages as a postal rural carrier.

[@CarsWithSteve]

RHD conversion is going to be hard to come across in North America but throughout EU/AU shouldn't have a problem finding a van that'll meet your basic specs. Sounds like it would probably make sense to go for a med or high roof, long or extended length. Then section off part of the rear for the sink/toilet combo.. definitely doable

[@elsuperpollo2273]

I agree, it is but I am seeing places online and mechanics that does conversion pedal and conversion steering kits.

[@gryffingone8155]

I'm 15 and hoping to save enough money to buy a van and make it into a home haha

[@CarsWithSteve]

There you go! Are you thinking a larger cargo van or one of the smaller Transit Connects? Have you planned much of your build yet?

[@gryffingone8155]

@@CarsWithSteve well not that much of it yet, I'm looking for a decent van first and then when i find one, i think this one's pretty good, I'll start thinking bout that too. I'm 5.1, so height isn't that much of a problem but i think the higher one's the best in order to have enough space

[@CarsWithSteve]

yeah that makes sense. There are some great videos on KZbin so if you do go for a camper.. do a video on it if that's your thing!
