About this van:
While in Albarracín earlier this year I met up with my friend John and he showed me around the van he has built. The last time I hung out with John was in China a few years ago, when I was just starting to think about doing a van conversion so it was awesome to see that since then John has done a sick build of his own.
The van is beautifully built and finished and has some really cool features like multi-coloured lighting, a massive double sided kitchen and some next level security features!

@@MatthewWatches Really? I haven't seen many school shootings in for example the Scandinavian countries, but a lot of that is happening in the US while the US is much less restrictive regarding firearms. Crime typically gets out of control when there is a weak law and order system in the country. Letting every knucklehead walk around with firearms is not the wise way to go, it's better to let the professionals handle law and order.

@@MatthewWatches The frequency of school shootings has been rising since the 1940s and they have spiked in the 1990s. About 20% of the 160 school shootings since 1900 have occurred during the last four years. Data on school shooters provided by official reports refer only to former’ and current’ students. This approach could explain the findings of the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Department of Education (2004, p. 19) who concluded that the attackers “ranged in age from 11 to 21.” The findings of this study show that school shooters are, generally, white males between 11 and 55 years of age. Only 52% of the 163 school shooters were less than 21 years of age. About 72% of all perpetrators were less than 31 years of age (Figure 1). Eight of the 163 perpetrators were women and 11% of them were foreign students or first-generation immigrants (United States, Canada, France and Norway) This study was done in 2013, and since then the amount of school shootings has ballooned (17 school shootings in 2018 alone, and 290 since 2013). Keep blaming the media and ignore the fact that this phenomena exists and it isn't rare at all. It is only rare in countries outside of the United States. Lastly, the security topic of the video deals with theft, I'm sure your gun does nothing for your van while shopping at your favorite Walmart.

@Mike Hurley Then a conversion van is probably a bad choice for a fast nighttime getaway anyway. Just buy a sports car that does 0-60 under 3.0s and lean the seat back for a nap, geez. :P Or better yet, get a 10-year old Toyota Camry (or other common, nondescript vehicle) and disappear into traffic. For the sake of completion, make sure to put radar-absorbent tiles on that Camry, get a low light/night vision driving solution, and noise baffling for a truly stealthy ninja junker. Either that, or put a Maybach V12 in the Camry for the ultimate sleeper getaway vehicle. /sarcasm tongue-in-cheek

Interesting to see, personally I would have the gas bottle cupboard open to the oitside instead and sealed off from the interior. Probably sitting in a secure box on the oitside etc....there have been a few deaths from leaky gas bottles in caravans here in NZ Laurie

[@Lily_and_River]

Yes, I would do it that way aswell! So many van builds on YT aren't being safe with their gas tanks. I don't get it at all. Everybody acts like it's normal to drive ánd live with a gas bottle just out in the open. While outside of van life, both driving with a gas bottle (besides transporting it to a certain location) and using it inside a home is considered highly unsafe and illegal even. But other than that this is a nice van build.

[@wjnr1]

LWJCarroll gas lockers should be sealed air tight and should have an air vent in the bottom to the outside. This is because the gas is heavier then air so if the gas leaks it is contained in the gas locker and it will then leak out of the air vent safely.

[@evelynwaugh4053]

Also, if the van builder did not comply with safety ordinances or known rules regarding a hazard, and this later causes personal injury or property damage, the insurance company may refuse to pay the claim due to the owner's `contributory negligence' or `negligence per se' (US).

Great conversion. It looks so comfy, homey and functional....and nothing wrong with safety features. I will be adding some as well. Love this van

[@ef5842]

So nicely done. Double check your fuel tanks, under the stove and under the bed. One other van video explains the importance of boxing in their tanks with removable lids, and they are kept tight on with clamps. The box needs to be made of 3/4" plywood and properly vented straight out by using a hose going down and out of the box to the outside. I didn't know if they used a fan vent or not. A battery operated one might be safe. Check it out. Also install Co2 detectors in those spots and have two kinds of fire extinguishers. Good job on your design. Look into getting the Evershower, perhaps. It can tap into an on demand hot water heater. It csn also be set up for use without using the continuous heated plumbing job, evlither in or outside. Just use the drain hose. This way you can just prepare a few gallon plastic bottles with warm water to use inside your waterproof pop-up. The popup shower folds back down like a small suitcase.

The couch is an interesting touch too, usually the seating is across or it's a dinning area that turns into a bed, but I like how this is separate. I never knew this much security was need also I thought it would be more techie, I live in California and literately everyone is into getting security cam usually like the doorbell if not security all around their house. I like this it's a wonderful van build and almost as gorgeous as his voice. OMG!

[@bored1980]

The tiles were a nice touch, not only for heat-resistance, but also for aesthetics, as were the overlapping kitchen bench tops. The design of the kitchen overall was really well done, how it's split on both sides of the van. It offers so much more room to move, especially with the fridge tucked away under the bed. Security measures were smart and the recessed lighting was also well done, but I *really* appreciated the effort to hide wiring. Overall this is one of the best I've seen on KZbin and it's inspiring me to make one myself. Well done. You should be rightly proud.

[@TylerWitucki]

The extra armor protection is quite heavy and unnecessary (it'd feel like driving a fully loaded pickup truck everywhere you go (also a hotbox)). Retired Ambulances are used for camper conversions and might feel similar. But at that point you might as well just get an older metal box truck for its simple design for renovations, versatility, and low costs. Simply put, It's more practical to upgrade the locking mechanisms and security in other vehicles.

[@shokojimhollingsworth3940]

I saw a "hardened" version of the van I eventually bought (GMC Savana cargo van) for sale online, which was bulletproofed by a company in Texas. I guess it was used to transport valuable cargo across the southwest. Anyway, it was already super heavy without any build out- which was a major downside. Also, I had to think about how often I planned on getting shot at, versus how often I would want to roll down the windows. The windows didn't roll down, they were an inch thick. Additionally the van was way over my budget, so....

Or, also entertaining the version where we first design/build a study / PC desk area or corner and the desk incorporates the kitchen... in other words, the area looks more like a desk at first sight, but a sink and stove hide under hinged covers or similar...

Thanks for sharing them with us. It’s helped me a lot as I was going to spend a fortune on security when I get my van in a couple of months. 👍

Been living for a few years now in my van. I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in it. Curiously the kitchen, now that im looking at my van is the smallest part of the layout. I have a full toilet, loads of storage space,hot water plus heating, 90 ltr fridge and the cabin gives me 1m more of space + 2 seats. I have inside locks in all the doors. Gas bottle isolated from the inside of the van and ventilated to the outside.

[@Quantum36911]

This is my favorite van!

[@geose18]

I love the setup of this van! ❤️

[@sallyportillo2755]

Very nice! Sometimes you may want to have a small but manageable space because you are all alone. The space may get bigger will depend on how many people you live with. It is true what they say, People are shifting from big houses to small or tiny houses to van or buses conversion to tiny house because the trend is there to support it and the user-experience is flexible.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

Sink and countertop on one side. PRACTICAL and stove and countertop on the other. BRILLIANT

I loved the van interior , well thought out and super design, I ESPECIALLY liked the bars that you set at the windows , THAT was very impressive !

[@kathleenreyes4345]

What about a bathroom?

[@sbrose3776]

Be nice to know what kind of van it is. Maybe I missed it.

[@mclucky7086]

Relay.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

It was hard to catch but apparently it’s a Citroen Relay whatever that is

[@curls4theworld]

I love the double kitchen area!!! The dishwasher drawer is the smartest way to store dishes that I’ve seen yet!!!

[@angelgoddess1325]

Extremely neat. I think everyone who lives in a van or car should follow your security methods. I love it!

[@corpsebride843]

If must say it’s very hard to pay any attention to the van 😂

I agree😄😄

[@sarahshae1543]

I tend to be very paranoid even on my second floor apartment so one thing I always think of for my future can life is 100% security, always good to see tricks

[@sharonhall2277]

Liking the extra cabinet space, but at the expense of the shower and a toilet. Great idea about the dishwashing rack.

[@Peacelove-dogs369]

Your friend John?? I thought he was your twin brother..😁😍

[@krippleinacaravanxxx707]

Gorgeous vans and gorgeous boys! ❤️

[@user-zv8js6wt2y]

That's what I want for my future tiny home.....Security! Especially for when you're out in the boonies.

[@karenlinton6115]

I absolutely love the layout of the van is. Lots of counter top, great stove, maybe a slightly larger sink(2 inches) the storage is great and your security system is awesome. First van build I’ve seen with security. Overall fantastic, but I would need a toilet. Showers you can always find in town or lakes, stream. The fridge works greAt too. Thanks for sharing.

couples look similar, people are attracted to those who have facial similarities with them. It’s called assortative mating.
