The client seemed fairly happy? Come on Josh, I was ecstatic! You did a fantastic job.

[@GospelTruth37059]

This kid is a genius!!!!!!!! Momma mia what a beautiful job he did!!

[@susanw489]

Can we see the inside after it's all dressed up?

[@auntkaz422]

Sweet build!

[@bennysh]

congrats on your new van, it looks amazing. I would make it even better by adding a compost toilet if the space permits.

[@michellekornegay1361]

If I wanted to have a van converted what's the average I would have to save..

[@lindak8664]

Wow! Thats the most aesthetically appealing micro van conversion i’ve ever seen. What a great job!

[@coppersense999]

Linda you're killing me, I swear I spent 5 minutes trying to figure how to spell that, too long for a YT comment, and I gave up and made a phonetic guess. Should've read the comments before making my own maybe lol. I salute you.

[@restierosales6093]

I missed the washroom, if you have?

[@michaelsmith9308]

Yes the details, especially on the fit of fridge, dual purpose counter top openings, venting, very thoughtful!

[@StariYTube1]

Yes and i searched many

[@VernDediccio9021]

[@barbarapastwa4054]

I absolutely love this build! The rounded corners in the counters , the extremely well done carpet covering, the storage and multi access option...and haven’t even finished the video yet! Can’t believe how well this is laid out in that tiny van. Well done! Particularly appreciated how easily accessible all the electrical components are. That hinged board the fuse panel is on, that’s brilliant.

[@Josh_Oakes]

Appreciate it!

[@howardbrooks8810]

Very good . You've managed to squeeze a lot into a small space with nice clean crisp lines and without it looking cramped .

[@the_katman2181]

This is a really nice little build. So much neat functionality in a tiny space. Would've liked to see a demonstration of the practical elements - like seating vs sleeping etc. Also, that platform over the front seat is a great way to travel with a dog.

[@thomascray]

I, too, was surprised that sleeping was not mentioned in the tour.

[@californiagirl5702]

Josh, everything you have done in this van build is so meticulous so well thought out. I was so impressed about all the extra drawers you managed to add because of "dead space ". WOW I was also wondering where the bed was going to be but I'm sure you had that figured out. I love the rollers shade between the cab and the back and the roller shades on the window. You really amaze me with how you thought out the access to the storage inside and outside the van and those wires are si neatly installed. You get a GOLD STAR from me. I love to see designs of vans and campers and have seen alot of them. I must say you are the best and so meticulous. Great job Josh.

[@TheEthanification]

Your production quality is unreal. All your work is so clean and well done. Also very well shot. Love it all! Keep it up josh, you're doing great things!

[@Josh_Oakes]

[@taerinu5270]

Your work is superb! Love your attention to detail. Your use of all available space for storage is great. Look forward to seeing more of your van builds.

[@Aidenjh11]

You packed so much into a very small space - and the result feels open and useable. Great job.

[@100mpgus]

I am not even 5 minutes in to the video and I have to say, WELL DONE! Great job! EDIT - I am finished with the video and I predict you are going to be the President of of your own custom conversion van company and you will SUCCEED! Your ideas are brilliant. Let me be the first to congratulate you on your success!

[@hanju06]

This is the best I've seen, and I've probably watched over 100 van/camper conversion videos. Great work. Seriously.

[@rivermom091188]

I love this build. All of your mods seem very well thought out and would be easy to repair if necessary. Personally I think that is important. Thank you for sharing!

[@evecarrington562]

EXCELLENT JOB! I haven't seen a Ford Transit Connect van conversion as nice and well thought out as this one! This rivals the larger Sprinter vans being just as functional! Add in a great sleeping pad and a few throw pillows and you're ready to rock!

[@robinwheatcraft6034]

This is one of the best builds I've seen, Very aesthetically pleasing and everything looks highly functionable. I hope to see more of your future builds!

[@danmorocco]

I have no idea what your background is/was but I've never seen a "cleaner" well-thought-out build like this on KZbin. The use of every conceivable nook and cranny not to mention how esthetically appealing your use of materials and textures is mind-boggling! Great job, Man! If I ever want a van build you are my go-to guy. What were the countertops made with? A really beautiful job!

[@jellybeanhikes9581]

Really stainless is non magnetic and your electic come on dude

[@viannecash3774]

What a great use of the space. You’ve done an excellent job. Can’t wait to see some BIGGER projects!

[@mikeperrydrums]

Cleanest van build I've seen in a long time . Absolutely bossed it mate , nice work !!

[@s.z.6200]

Looks like a good quality build and so many features for such a small space.

[@mjones7794]

Best Transit Connect build I've seen to date. You rock! Covered all the bases given the (micro) space you had to work with.

[@joanies6778]

So many things I LOVE about this build! Being a cat lover, the litter area is awesome. Every inch utilized with multiple access points on many. 👏 Watching all these conversions by young creative innovators is very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

[@musiclady8621]

Absolutely brilliant build! I watch A LOT of van conversions, and this by far is THE BEST I've ever seen! Amazing workmanship and precise measurements made this so beautiful! I love it! Great job! 👍

[@bluejeans8001]

Certainly one of the best mini van conversions I’ve seen on KZbin. Great job👍👍👍

[@cody3112]

Yeah this is definitely the best build I’ve seen for this size van! Absolutely brilliant!

[@coyote102076]

I have watched this vid like 10 times now. I have this vid saved in my files lol. I still say it is the neatest looking cleanest most efficient Ford Transit Connect setup out there so far. It somehow just looks bigger than what it really is. VERY well done!

[@piplup10203854]

Full slide out draws are like the most satisfying thing about van conversions and campers for me like I’m not sure why but I absolutely love that idea. Being able to access it if I’m outside and the hinge idea so if you’re inside you can still get to it is just nice. I wasn’t sure what to expect in all honesty and it was exceedingly well above what I did expect. This is super super nice. Makes me wish I had a van to convert lol 😂

[@kcKaren1]

Beautiful. The cat litter box space was brilliant.

[@friendlyman9032]

I have been watching youtube video on van builds and rv interiors for about 3 years now...This build is in the top 5 of the best I have seen...WOW..great work..grea5 attention to detail...AMAZING...

[@NotSure416]

This is by far the most professional van build I've ever seen. All of the carpet and cabinetry are truly aspirational for all of us DIYers.

[@uhlemaennchen]

Freakin brilliant, mate, well done. Lots of nice details and creative uses of space.

[@thelilypondhouse]

Nice build. In addition the back blind is perfect for a projector snuggled nicely between the driver and passenger seat. Good distance.

That is a ridiculously AWESOME build! I’ve been looking at full-size vans but now that I’ve seen this, I may have to reconsider. Grant it, it’s enough room for one person but I don’t mind leaving the wife and kids at home! Your craftsmanship is impeccable! Probably one of the top five best van build videos I have seen on YT and I have seen a bunch!

[@ruthanderson1758]

That sliding door to hide the water tank(s) is an awesome idea. Suggestion on use of space - for the little box on the wall that houses the door slide mechanism - you could have built narrow shelves from the top of the box up to the ceiling - extra storage and would look better than the little box just sticking out of the wall. Overall, great job.

[@newlifeishere8746]

Very clean and simple build out for such a small van! You did an amazing job! Really truly the best one I've ever seen for that size of a van build. And sleek!

[@cwr8618]

Definitely appreciate the company warnings at the beginning. Nobody wants to deal with putting money into a company that isn't going to take care of their end of the transaction. Also, I think this dude is good at narrating/speaking. Should pick up some gigs in front of a camera

[@ErnieMayberry]

Agree. Some may think that $13 is not a big deal. But the company is responsible for putting out erroneous design data. Any company that is interested in repeat business should readily and happily correct the error and absorb the cost. I will certainly steer clear of their products. See they are already losing business over $13! Short sighted.

[@BackcountryBanter]

Wow, great build! The aesthetics are nice too!

[@susanpangelinan2607]

I really like the many places you maximized the storage space, and thought through interior and exterior access to a space whenever possible. As someone who travels solo, not having to exit the vehicle to access many areas is preferable. Seeing a smaller van that can have so many possibilities AND an additional window that opens to get more ventilation, is genius! Wanting a camper van someday. I subscribed right away.
