Mini Van Camper Conversion | Van Tour of Minivan Converted to Classy Tiny Home

[@JGDD7190]

This has to be one of the best and cleanest builds I've seen. Using maximum space for storage without making the van feel tight or cluttered.

[@otterishly777]

Cleanest-looking mini-van conversion I've seen. Very, very nice.

The colorful material used is delightful to view daily, and loved the walls and flooring, actually loved everything about this minimal van living lifestyle. Super clean with zero cluttering.

[@kellydoyle]

After doing van life for two years in a minivan, I agree 100% with having an “INDOOR” kitchen! So you can cook when it’s raining, in dust storms, high winds, snow, while stealthing, and when flying insects are intolerable. I’ve run into ALL of these scenarios but was always able to cook. I can actually cook from the inside OR the outside.

Let’s not forget that if you’re living in a car, it’s because you’re on a tight budget and eating out daily for every meal of the day can become extremely expensive.

@@leeg5678 I have a sink with drain and pump shower sprayer for dishes though many people just use a spray bottle with vinegar and paper towel to clean the dishes.

This is hands down the very best minivan build out I’ve seen. Perfect use of space. Well done!

[@kellykersten8828]

This is one of the cutest, most sensible ones I've seen. It's not crammed full of stuff.

[@lllthink]

I love the minimalistic appearance of your van, it is rare to see such an uncluttered build, really nice

[@joyoflife2020]

Yes and driving over this past month we have added and subtracted little things as you learn as you go

[@leahspilchen590]

I love the clean look as well as the corner kitchen area. I am curious how they do without a emergency toilet set up. That would be a must-have for me. Also, there are pros and cons to a convertible bed. Nice to have it as a couch by day. Some people may not want to completely make the bed every night.

[@votesudanusa]

@@leahspilchen590 Those same filthy people sit in their bed all day in street clothes and don't wash bed linens and have smelly vans.

[@sandyjuntunen4088]

No personal items at all. It could get crowded fast!

[@whynotbekind1957]

I love everything about this…if i were to build out a mini, I would do very similarly. I like how you did the bed/mattress right on the floor to allow more head room and to actually have a sofa during the day…so smart and utilizing every space for very specific things, and not going overboard on decorations that have no purpose (but making it cozy by the fabric you used and the wood accents) and no clutter. You made a very nice camper van! Enjoy the journey!

[@joyoflife2020]

We appreciate those nice comments. Thanks

[@dswarts9386]

Nice 😊

[@Jacks0n020]

Yes yes yessss.. THJS IS IT!!! I had something like this in my mind but wasn't sure it would be possible! For me.. with a van a little bigger then this one would be puuurfect for me and my girl for a 1 or 2 week minimalistic trip. I'm almost there with my drivers license.. and then I need someone who can help me building (have 2 left hands 😞) thanks for sharing this video. Greeting from The Netherlands

[@Lee-fb4oj]

The sofa to bed is great!! Best situation for a "mini"van

[@jeremybenson9271]

I can only repeat what the guy said about how neat and clean you have this layout. I have been using my minivan for longer than I can remember but it never looked as good as that. Thanks for showing.

[@carmell51]

This is the prettiest, neatest, best mini van I have seen! Even flowers!

[@nanaman]

The options are endless from what I’ve seen in this van life and it’s so exciting to see thank you

[@Chickmamapalletfarm]

I am planning on building out vehicle campers for both my boys who are 13 & 15 now. I want to launch them in life in the most self sufficient way possible, and this seems like a great option that helps to prevent them from being loaded with debt and burdensome rents. I love this build. And will use it for inspiration! 👍👏👍

[@Handbaglvoer]

Finally a van converted into something I might able to accomplish both financially and physically. All those fancy ones is out of my budget. Thank you for showing me it’s possible to travel economically 👍

[@paulutd69]

Wow...what a cool option!!! I've seen older mini vans for a couple grand. Your vehicle shows that you don't need to spend 20-30 grand on one of those transit/sprinter vans. Thank you Soo much!!!!

[@vansa14]

I have been looking for a simple couch to bed transition without needing to build a whole fancy thing. This is PERFECT!

[@ritasmoot1823]

I love how efficient and cozy it is! Beautiful job! LOVE the floor.

[@joyoflife2020]

Thank you very much..

[@joyoflife2020]

Thank you very much

[@Ruthie888]

You did a great job. I'd make my cushions much thicker to make the couch mode higher up. Love the colors.

[@chrissievandyke171]

If you do more than four inches, it is a waste, because you sacrifice support.

[@annewithane1524]

This is amazing! One thing I'll add is probably a portable toilet. And cover it up to make it as a stool so can cook or wash dishes inside more comfortably whilst sitting down. Or perhaps a foldable stool

[@sylviedumas]

Having a toilet is a necessity. Non negociable 🚽 🤭

[@marlenen6130]

Having something to use as a toilet in case of emergency does seem necessary, but a full fixed toilet you may use a few times a week seems a pretty steep sacrifice of valuable space. I will say, there are many annoying noisemakers and excess weight that I would eliminate immediately: the chains for the table, those mason jars banging around. Put the heavy stuff over the axles.

[@Drmikekuna]

In 2018 I built out a Promaster van with my friend. It has been a truly wonderful adventure. It is always nice to see how clever folks are. Your minivan is beautiful.

[@debvoz]

I love your build. Beautifully decorated, well thought out and practical design. I would copy it 100% but with my bad knees, I can't sit that low. You're so lucky! I look forward to watching your travels.

[@joyoflife2020]

Thanks

[@tbonearmyvet2592]

I never thought I could stand being in a minivan traveling about but this van conversion is absolutely stunning. I love it. I could do this

[@tracybalentine5660]

YES!

[@mpeagler415]

An excellent example of using all available space, and a wonderful floor plan! Hubby and I have a Dodge Grand Caravan and we believe we can model our new build using a lot of your ideas. Watching this video truly got us excited because it is the setup I've been looking for. We're not interested in building a bed platform and got the same bed/couch idea you're using from another KZbin couple. Your build is great for a couple traveling in a minivan, it's cozy-looking, simple and clean. Thank you for sharing your conversion!!

[@MegaBpop]

You know that saying “Less is MORE”? Well he sure captured it with this awesome minivan camping unit! I love it!! I like the color schemes too. It looks comfy! Be safe and thanks for sharing!!

Living in a van for many years has taught me one thing... keep it simple and this is a good example of exactly that.

[@rainsofhealing]

I’m SO impressed! The ceiling looks beautiful as well, great use of space and those cushions are fantastic with their multiple configuration options!

[@happydays9613]

Beautifully converted camper van. Love it. So nice and clean. You maximised space beautifully. I part-time Micro car camp in my small car around work, have a no build. Finally got a set up that is operational and clean in my small space. Stay safe and blessed on your travels. Solo female car camper 🇬🇧

[@jontomas2271]

Excellent! - I have a regular, full size Chevy Express van that I also did a minimalist conversion to. The only major features are a regular, single-size bed, a solar panel, curtains and a roof fan/vent. I've been wanting to rebuild because the bed takes up so much room and friends don't feel comfortable. The simple sofa/bed arrangement is a great solution! Combined with an exchange for a passenger seat that swivels around, it should dramatically improve the guest experience.

[@lucsmith2092]

That is such a lovely simple van! Clean lines and the fabric matching the car colour is genius, as is the grey water “tank”. looking forward to following along with you guys.

[@M0untainBerry]

Amazing that you have managed to make your van aesthetically beautiful as well as functional. There are many videos of people living in tiny vans & cars who need to take a look at yours and what they can do. Fantastic!!!

[@arborealscout4252]

Great and lovely job!!! If I had that much open floor space, I'd try to also rig up a small chair seat on rollers, to be as tall as possible without hitting my head. But I would never have that much open floor space. 😀 Bon voyage!

[@adventuresofmisspeach]

One of the best mini-van conversions I’ve seen!!😊

[@idlewildwind]

Neatest, most spacious tiny van build ever! These tiny vans tend to get very cramped inside, but you've retained so much space by having a "free-floating" bed and no fixed counter along the side wall. The only improvement I would make is to add some kind of non-slip surface to the bottoms of the mattresses, so they're less likely to run around while you're moving around on them! Edit: Oh, I just noticed you used an antique picture frame as a window frame! That is one of the prettiest and most genius things I've ever seen!

[@henrythefifth9993]

I like your simple and beautiful camper built. Let me mimic your model. Safe journey and enjoy it. Thank you.

[@barbaramay5048]

[@Helena-vh2sl]

This is wonderful! I saw your first build and thought it was lovely, but the outdoor kitchen doesn't work for me as I plan to do a lot of traveling to urban areas. This new floorplan is perfect and still so roomy.

Yes we like it more now with the change.

[@VEWNZ]

Wow just so beautiful. The decor is beautifully coordinated. LOVE yr L-shaped kitchen.

[@buzzzub8563]

That's the tidiest mini van arrangement I've ever seen! Plus, it's beautiful! It doesn't look like there are two people and a dog living in there. I applaud your design and decor. Simplicity of lifestyle serves you well when there are space limitations. I wish you a happy life filled with adventure! Happy trails!

[@shay4705]

This is beautiful! It's simple,clean and well thought out.

[@camoy4057]

Your redo is absolutley fantastic! I love the simpliicity, yet highly functional and warm look. This is one of the best I've seen in a while. I enjoy watching what many Van life and car life KZbinrs have done to their home on wheels, but there is something to be said about really only taking what you need and nothing more. I feel some people take way more than they actually use daily and that take away from some of the freedom of this life, in my opinion. Great job and thank you for sharing. Safe travels!

[@susanseedarsan426]

One of the best builds I’ve seen! I wish I had the skill and talent to do something like that. The butcher block seems like a heavy choice of material though so material choice might be something to consider for future builds.

[@shecalledmelisalou]

Wow. One of the most beautiful build outs I have ever seen. Absolutely love it! So minimal and serene. Did you keep the back seats in? Or is there storage there as well? I always feel sad when I see cluttered vans. This one made me smile!

[@renavarges3852]

Nice use of space, smart build here. Clean and neat. I like it. A real tiny home on wheels. I thought there'd be a TV underneath what turned out to be a table. Most times, I eat with my plate in my lap, but the table is useful and out of the way.

Extremely well done. On a par with Joseph's on Sharing The Wild. Amazing what you can do with a minivan. I was sorely tempted to use my Mazda MPV minivan. I decided no though because it was just too small for permanent living space. I am too old to be groveling around on the floor doing the Japanese tea ceremony. I do miss that minivan though.
