Chevy Astro Van Tour - Van Life Camper Conversion by Photographer

[@robchenoweth5314]

You’ve given me my vision for my 2005 AWD Astro. Thank you!!!

[@isaacturnerit]

Hi it’s not my van! Hit up @jl.human on insta. He is the owner he can let ya know

[@vanlifeunchained9388]

I love what he did with his van! If I didn't have a bad back I would go that route! I love my van but for all those looking to get into van life. Less is more! Piece and love to all! ✌❤

[@isaacturnerit]

Vanlife_ Unchained yo just to get into it I say just roll! We love being able to stand though

[@debslifesimplified6406]

My Astro is going to have a very simple and clean build as this. Love the live edge counter. The slide out bed will work great since I have a dog that will travel with me.

[@isaacturnerit]

🙏🏼

[@VagabondTouring]

Nice. Super simple set up. Clean and easy

[@isaacturnerit]

Vagabond RoBUStico Skoolie yeah I thought it was a really cool little set up

[@outlawbadge1]

Safe travels, we bought. 1995 GMC Vandura and it is almost ready for road trips. See you out there traveling.

[@timothysmith5060]

Excellent ideas for my 2000 astro !! Very clean nice and simplistic! Good job ! Love it

[@gamma1.617]

Was that a ghost that shot passed the outside @ 1:16? Looked super quick to be a normal person

[@pep4042]

comment i was looking for , shit scared me

[@pastaboy2637]

If you look at the door a little later it kinda looks like someone is standing at the door, i just think theres another person there lol

[@TravisTravels]

This was a very good tour. A little on the short side. But it was very well done. Loved the transitions at the start. That was really clean, music was fitting. I think the only missing element that I like about vanlife people is themselves. Seems like a cool enough guy, but I don't know much about him other than he lives in or travels in his van. Interviews are key in my videos. But don't be like me, do what works for you of course. Even just him talking for five minutes is enough to keep it going. If you would like to know how I do my interviews Id be happy to tell you some time. Great work my friend. I hope this one does great!

[@isaacturnerit]

Travis Travels thanks for dropping by. Yeah I made it all about the van this time. I guess I need to find that balance. Thanks homie. Looking forward to your dating video

[@TravisTravels]

@@isaacturnerit it's pretty funny lol. Probably one of my best ones yet.

[@sapatituiolemotu6676]

Love this build! Exactly what I was looking for!

[@isaacturnerit]

Sapati Tuiolemotu thanks yeah it’s simple and clean

[@57NUPE]

Hey Bro!! I really like your setup!! Great use of space and done right! I have a Safari van that I am converting and I will definitely remember your setup!! Thanks for the tour!!!

[@isaacturnerit]

darryl hines thanks for checking it out!! Looking forward to your rig. When it’s done and you come thru Oregon let’s do a tour

[@doramather4729]

Great van, simple with all the necessary needs fulfilled for van living.

[@tradmanmike3360]

CLEAN, SIMPLE AND FUNCTIONAL! HELL YA!!!! NICE VAN!

[@chukkelz4425]

I'm buying one of these Sunday excited to start my conversion

[@bigdogslife6019]

Hello from Germany! Tomorrow i will have a look on a 95 Astro. For sure i will buy it. We docnt have that much here in germany. I like the Astro a lot more then a VW.

[@FnAVanLife]

Awesome van tour guys!!! Love how professional the build out is. Soooo classy!!!

[@isaacturnerit]

Appreciate y’all! You are my KZbin inspo!

[@Hunterkey123]

Clean van! FWIW a full mattress fits perfectly in the back of an astro. My awd astro is a work van until the weekend comes around, then the tools go in the garage and the mattress in the back. chuck a cooler between the seats and you're good to go! Never understood the bed builds with sinks/etc.

[@isaacturnerit]

Some people just like building it in

[@nixhixx]

Different being a weekend camper vs long term/full time.

[@havefaithtarot]

This looks nice. I just test drove a 2003 Astro that I think I’m gonna buy and do a no build build somehow. I like how simple this one is.

[@kevin_culver]

Hello there! SWEET build! Awesome van!!! Similar to my build!!! Great call with the cargo box!!!

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

amazing video A Bus Life Story. I killed that thumbs up on your video. Maintain up the high-quality work.

[@flyg74]

This gives me hope finding my next home on tight budget!

[@lunibombom4551]

I love the minimalism

[@Overland_NA]

Looking on KZbin this is the best done Astro I've seen

[@marklennox2151]

Check out the "disastrovan" video build. I chose that layout for my cargo van. Best layout hands down.

[@phoenixarizona8441]

Sweet build I plan on building our Chevy Astro Cargo van

[@samsonite8400]

Very spacious. Very inspiring.

[@shaunramos9878]

Lot of inspiration here. Am looking at a Mazda mpv and it’s super comparable to the Astro

[@woffordsoverlandjourneys8618]

I just bought a 1995 Chevy Astro very much different than my 03 that I totaled a week and a half ago

[@isaacturnerit]

Dang that sucks man

[@cullen406]

We just bought a 95, picking it up in a couple days. We also have an 03. I think the wheels are 15" instead of 16" and no 4-wheel disc brakes, but are there any other differences? We thought it was a 98 when we bought it online :/

[@gh0stmal0ne]

Love the paint job and interior. Very Zen minimalist style. Even the box on the roof looks great!

[@phoenixarizona8441]

This would make a perfect sleeper setup for OTR Hotshot trucking

[@PochoNews]

Cool build dude!!

[@dariomendoza1518]

Thanks for sharing ..mine is a1997 astro van conversion!! Their Awesome fun and SexyLooking!!!

[@justmonathefurcrew9009]

Jordan where do you put your clothes, dishes and food? It's a really nice layout and very professionally done.

[@isaacturnerit]

Under his bed

[@angelflores-lp3ws]

did you see the ghost that happened in the window 1:39

[@markshoenus2591]

Short, sweet and to-the-point. Now get the f..k out! I like this guys vibe.

[@leonardomiranda4954]

Clean van bro

[@wildernesslife6479]

I have a 95 Safari and my build is similar to yours. Sweet ride bro

[@probablyr0bin1]

Quick & to the point. Some of these van build ppl talk for 20 minutes about how they couldnt find one specific part no one gives a f about. LMAO

[@XroorX]

Like how simple his design is, including the curtain rods for storage….too many ridiculous glamping vans on the market. #true van life

[@stevec2665]

I didn't realize that Astro's were built out as conversion vans too.

[@cullen406]

What size tires are those? We just bought a 95 conversion and are picking it up in a couple days. Love the live-edge, great idea! Thanks!

[@robchenoweth5314]

Can u detail your work on your undercarriage in terms of lift and suspension. And anything else you did?

[@isaacturnerit]

No life or suspension just wheels and tires

[@coreyhamilton6485]

Can I get some opinions on this layout versus having the bed at the back?

[@spellerlittlewing]

Very minimalist

[@AllRoadsLeadToHome]

"Just threw some battery operated little dingly lights" "So are those connected to your battery station?" ...... "No...those are just AA batteries" "So it's a separate power system" 🤣🤣🤣

[@fredrickmonroe7878]

Dude was that a Bigfoot in the background. Something ran across in the background.

[@VanSheGoes]

cool build

[@dangermuffin2]

Did those t-slider windows come with the van, or did you install them yourself? I’m considering getting some for mine, but not quite sure how to it exactly lol.

[@peterwall9896]

In UK my fuel gauge stopped working and I'm at a lost to fix it 😎

[@marklennox2151]

The sink/counter is a good idea for the passenger van. I don't know about the gas mileage though.

[@isaacturnerit]

mpg isn't bad in these

[@docwilson5384]

Amazing job....Peace

[@andrewshiheiber1808]

Great Build.. just curious, what bed liner did you use to protect the lower part of the van and the bumper? And has it lasted pretty well? And you guys didn't lift it at all.. just bigger wheels and tires?

[@isaacturnerit]

Hey thanks. This is actually my buddies build. He just got a cheap generic bed liner kit. So far it’s lasted well for him

[@nathanroll6691]

I have a question. I bought a 1995 Chevy Astro from the police department. It has 17688 miles. What do you think it’s work?

[@nixhixx]

Simplicity itself. In a good way.

[@mendozaconsultation]

Very nice. Can you give me the Dimensions of the bed, kitchen area

[@gungfuriceboy]

Great Practical Platform!! ...but the 'only' thing holding me 'back'...No Fixed High Roof/Pop Up Roof! i NEED To be able To 'Stand up' Straight in the Van! Can't see myself 'Hunched Over'...like that....That's just me though....lol..

[@isaacturnerit]

gungfuriceboy I agree! Not hard to add either one of those though

[@AlexAkers-g4c]

Never heard someone say good gas mileage and Astro in the same sentence before 😂

[@KhouryNatalie]

What went by at 1.16? Looked to move very quickly kind of creepy

[@nancyshields7045]

How did you build the bed?

[@jr-wv4qw]

How tall is Jordan? He looks like a decent side dude.

[@isaacturnerit]

He’s like 5ft 5in

[@jr-wv4qw]

@@isaacturnerit well crap. I was really thinking of an astro for my 6'3 ass.

[@isaacturnerit]

@@jr-wv4qw I know plenty of tall people in astros is it the awd that pulls you. Chevy express is longer

[@jr-wv4qw]

@@isaacturnerit The Astro just seems like the best deal for a half-year trip. It's cheap, you can get AWD one, and you can even find one with a hi top.

[@isaacturnerit]

@@jr-wv4qw get a high top your straight

[@jaylenlenear3944]

Only thing stopping me from pursuing this is being to tall to sleep in it (I'm 6'5)

[@troywhite6039]

How much would you accept to part with it? 🤑

[@austinberry7441]

At 0:58, what is the BLM acronym?

[@isaacturnerit]

Bureau of Land Management. Free Camping

[@austinberry7441]

@@isaacturnerit thank you! I’m gonna have to do some research on that now.

[@isaacturnerit]

🙏🏼

[@rutterj2]

3 inches is plenty, right??

[@valkyritza]

Did you have to insulate it

[@tannicapple]

What motor does it have?

[@CodeResp]

The cargo box is not a bad idea

[@backlogbrood2451]

Interesting but... It kinda looks like he can't still up on the couch/bed. Seems like that would get frustrating real quick.

[@bocard80]

Upon doing research I see the astro van gets horrible mpg 16-18 mpg. Is this true can anyone confirm?

[@brianmielke832]

What’s the tire dimensions?

[@grantbratrud4949]

Your water?

[@Trish-j2y]

Nice

[@FredTheTruck]

That doesn't look like a 1995 looks more like a 2000-2005 you can tell by the facelift and the interior lights. still looks great tho I want to do something like that for my 2000 Edit: I forgot after a quick Google search that they started doing the facelift option for the Astro in 1990 I thought it started in 1999 I'm a little confused about the top lights though because they look like the ones off of my 04 that I have but my 2000 doesn't have those And my 98 has the same as my 2000

[@JayDrone]

Just did video on my van

[@jessiesineath7702]

You tube deleted 😒 random comments

[@angelflores-lp3ws]

looks like the shadow of a child

[@chancesareshewears]

I don't understand why folk add all that weight with the heavy and dense wood materials. The sink serves no purpose either, too small. and all that solar and using Triple A batteries? very weird set up.

[@danmtz4110]

Did he say BLM instead of BFE

[@braylens1822]

That’s super small

[@anonymousstoner304]

Weakkkk

[@isaacturnerit]

Agreed

[@acewelddive]

I got enough out of it to complete my Astro and my Safari vans. I like these so much I bought two of them. So practical and versatile. These are wonners.

[@acewelddive]

Winner's

[@robertd6925]

3:30 what kind of mpg?
