MINIVAN CAMPER CONVERSION | DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STOW N' GO | CREATION IDEAS

[@dallen2382]

Great 👍 work……. I think we should give Eric who Enjoys 🌍 Earth his designer AWARD 🥇

[@medogandcatadventure]

👍

[@keiphyn]

Absolutely

[@totalstranger8412]

There’s nothing better than having a skill. Skills can’t be outsourced. Reminds me of my 72 VW Camper.👍

[@topofhelist6592]

Amazing van building skills I see everyone do such amazing things but after living in a camper for almost 6 months I’d say the most important thing on my mind is proper insulation over all else

[@medogandcatadventure]

Exactly. Staying warm at night was my biggest concern. I used untreated sheep wool to insulate my car and I’m warm in 7F at night. Not even using a winter sleeping bag. A blanket from Rumpel is on top of it and that’s all. I’m glad I spent the extra $$.

[@lenamoller3781]

After studying Eric Enyoys Earth's videos we've now almost finished our Dodge grand caravan conversion! With the extra challenge of being able to keep the first passenger seats out to travel with extra family members when necessary! We're using self-locking hinges for the extra legs, but I love your idea to keep them attached to the front panel and narrow enough to fit into the frame in sofa mode. Especially since the hinges weren't easy to come by. And I totally agree on the price on adjustable table legs. We also went the DIY route, but went for square aluminum legs instead of wood.

[@debslifesimplified6406]

I'm so glad finding more and more vans built similar to Eric's.

[@tawnyschlienz9063]

This is a great video. No talking and showed what you actually did. Thank you.

[@RobertAbrao-o5r]

That was awesome! I wish I had an idea like that when my daughter was young and had to sleep in my van to visit her. It saved money so I could take her out and have fun with her. But I just slept on a pad with stow and go seats put in the floor board. Genius! Now that I’m older I want to do something like this to a van and travel with the wife.

[@outlawbadge1]

One of the best jobs we have seen for putting one of these little vans together. Thanks for sharing

[@flogowizda3649]

My pleasure!

[@johnjdunbar8031]

Dude! Hands down, BEST video I have EVER seen for this kind of build in A Grand Caravan. I've been searching KZbin for over a year. Thank you! Won't copy your build exactly but you've helped me confirm that this is the ideal layout for me. Thank you!!

[@flogowizda3649]

Cheers mate!! I'm so glad you like it. Enjoy building yours and send the link to your video when it's done ☺️

[@danthelambboy]

It is basically the same as Eric who Enjoys earth's build so check his out too for more in depth info

[@monstervan]

That was the best build for a mini van I've seen so far. Thanks for sharing that!!!

[@onewomanandherdog5219]

You have some serious skills!

[@debslifesimplified6406]

Its great that everyone was involved in building out this van. I enjoyed watching you all put it together nicely.

[@richardnavarro4563]

Great job ! I "stealthed" and "solared" a Dodge Grand Caravan, differently, but equally stealthy, and functional. "Different strokes . . . ."

[@ronflododd3197]

Great job laying things out. Cardboard template the best. I am assuming you could narrow the bed to a single if traveling alone to give more floor space. Best video by far.

[@ZombicidalMadMom81]

incredible, so clever, well thought out and executed. Great job you two!

[@bradprice9268]

Coolest van build ever ❤ never ever thought I'd want a mini van but i was so wrong 👍

[@pambarab5506]

Wow! 😲 Excellent work by the two of you!

[@flogowizda3649]

Thank you :)

[@jeffiebear007]

Some great ideas you have there, I like your tight cuts around the interior of your van great job 😊

[@SaintKhaled]

Amazing video guys, I love the simple captions, music choice, and story telling. Safe travels!

[@rgnewlife6622]

WELL DONE!!! Oh yea! I am very excited and grateful I came across your KZbin you have given me so many great ideas!!!! Blessings to you and yours in the name above every name Christ Jesus 🙏 🙌 ✨️

[@kitkatkamp7979]

What beautifull craftsmanship you do sir.

[@flogowizda3649]

Thank you very much!

[@ammospydr9328]

Nice setup. Love it. Searching for some ideas on my ‘09 DGC. My plan is to be able to tow the van behind another vehicle. Definitely gave me some additional ideas. Thank you

[@robertjones9444]

Very good work!

[@RealProVanR]

Great job.

[@flogowizda3649]

Thanks ;)

[@Turnituplease]

Super well thought out dude! Nicely done. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏻

[@HoneyandMe]

Awesome design and build! Well done!

[@tlccreates]

Congrats on the camper build. We just “finished” ours. Now to travel and enjoy it. Have fun

[@kathyliu3812]

wow so inspiring! thanks for sharing all the steps!!

[@scottrose8417]

Flo BRO...great video! Very helpful.

[@sherylturnerturner1352]

I'm a 63 year old female and planning my departure in a year. Became disabled 10 years ago and ate all my savings till I saw this van life 6 months ago. I pet sit and saved 8 grand so far. So undecided as to this van or save more and get a gmc van. Cause I will be living in it for years. Hmmmmm any suggestions. Props for making your own adjustable table.

[@flogowizda3649]

Hi Sheryl, that's cool that you plan on living the van life. It did change my way of experiencing travel. We lived and traveled in three different size vehicles. Honda-CRV, Dodge grand caravan and Toyota Hiace. To me it depends on your needs but I would say by experience that the longer the trip the more space you'll want. Don't underestimate the luxury of being able to stand up ;)

[@sherylturnerturner1352]

@@flogowizda3649 Loved that last line ;) Thanks!!

[@kellypoulos8702]

REALLY great job on a self build, ENJOY!

[@BushcraftNFun]

Nice job! We did a similar set up with my SUV. Now im looking at a Town & Country. Popped in to see how you did the floor with the stow & Go spots.

[@belindapoplin5439]

Mans got them SKILLS 🤙❤

[@bearg9943]

Great job love to have y’all build out my grand caravan

[@terrymathis4213]

That is so amazing. Looks great too. Awesome job.

[@flogowizda3649]

Thank you so much :)

[@BriteImpressions1]

I watched your video more than once. I liked it and subscribed. You are a genius and this is the best video I have seen, detailed oriented and so pleasant to watch. The music is very nice too. Great job. Congrats. Thanks for replying to my posting.

[@daganjurjans3438]

awesome video. I just bought a grand caravan. if you have any more pics of the process/videos please send away. honestly a lil overwhelmed with what I will do with it but gonna start camperizing it tomorrow. cheers

[@Elcopaneco1005]

Que bonito trabando en equipo en el mismo proyecto

[@davidrodriguez7296]

It says very beaitiful teamwork project.

[@RichMAC]

Awesome work on the van! I’m about to do something similar!

[@bethanytaylor7656]

Automatically love this more for spying the thieves dish soap!

[@mindtristdweeb6926]

Amazing build

[@handicamper101]

what a great design.

[@karenwest9583]

You both are amazing. I will bring my van for a conversion ❤

That was awesome

[@marianfrances4959]

Awesome job! 👍😎🇨🇦

[@AndreaHinck]

amazing job. I just bought a van and would love to do it, but that might be a bit too ambitious for me!

[@13prevailbushcraft]

Love it !

[@PatrickPrice-ny2ie]

I've got a 2019 Dodge Caravan & what I'm doing is removing very back seat so that I can install a Honda generator & diesel heater in the plastic tub. Doing some other neat things too like ducting inlet & outlet fans so as to remove heat from the generator. Obviously I'll get an extension exhaust hose to vent the CO from the generator.. still figuring out best way to make a sealed flooring door so I can work on the generator when I need to. I don't want CO / carbon monoxide to kill me either.

[@alpaciello90]

Great build-out. Just wondering how much weight was added? You used some pretty hefty wood selections

[@susanstrickland6774]

Really nice build. 👍

[@michaelsoucy6100]

Very talented

[@nancystrickland1623]

Really nice job!!

[@OverlandOne]

Very nice build.

Love. It. 💙

[@sandracarrizales842]

Very nice

[@DentZero123]

Do you have the plans for that build.. I would love to do mine like that

[@alexnowak5322]

Awesome 👍👍👍

[@Mr.Black.Tv.]

hi you are did a great job but i have question where did you buy the windows cover i have same car

[@muneshshankar7317]

Fabulous 👌🏻

[@alibiker67]

Nice work love it 😍

[@fatoldman5012]

Freakin' awesome! Thanks for great vid and great ideas. Definitely gives inspiration. Currently building Caravan, myself. P.S. Hil, you're a gem girl! Good luck guys!

[@Monaz1]

Love it

[@car1916]

I'm just about to build a van exactly like this and this tutorial is the best one I've seen so far, makes everything look so clear and easy, perfect timing haha. How long would you say it took you to make it?

[@flogowizda3649]

Hi Car, I was on a deadline so I had two weeks to finish, so I did long days, sometimes twelve hours. But I was slowed down by dealing with mosquitos and having my workshop in the basement. Imagining and testing my different ideas for the subfloor also took a lot of time.

[@tomholbrook2948]

I agree

[@mattw7050]

Skillz

[@MsBsPlace]

Awesome Did you make floor plans to sell?

[@6248cjl]

I’ve never seen a Dodge Caravan with the little window handle to pop the window out a bit for ventilation! What year-model was this one?

[@Massmarketing515]

I have a 2013 and I’m about to go fill camper mode

[@mwgant]

What is the model of the cooler you installed between front seats? Are you happy with it?

[@wallybblues9850]

So i was wondering with the seats taking out you could actually stand up when trying to get dressed up for the day

[@adolfogomez-herrera2346]

Fantastic-O

[@celineguiraud2563]

Ho wow ! Great job !!! We are about to do the same, bed Is done but WE were wondering if you have advices for the kitchen part : any chances you could give us the size of the cuts ? 🎉😊 Also, what is the brand of the matress ?? It seems reaaaally confortable 😮

[@sutied]

This is the best modal, I'm gonna make my grand caravan according to yours, by the way, what's the catering pan size? Are you planning to install power system? Can't wait to see you more.

[@MarkH81954]

WHEN CAN I GET YOU TO DO MINE??? WOW NICE

[@DentZero123]

How do you stay cool in the summer

[@SoulQuJo]

Canada? Will you encounter or have any creative ideas for the cold weather? I'm looking for methods to keep my van warmer in the upcoming winter months. I love that table!

[@flogowizda3649]

Hi SoulQuJo. We did not intend to travel during winter. The van is not insulated for it and I believe most places will be closed and the roads not plowed. We had a woolen blanket and an extra one for the cold nights but that's it 😜

[@JacksonCA2]

I may have to go back to Eric’s KZbin channel because you say to get the boards precut but 45+45+45+15+33=183 cm which is not equal to 180 cm

[@flogowizda3649]

Oops you're right! I wanted to type 12 and not 15. Good spotting mate!

[@palangnar3588]

Hi, very good job building the camper van, can i ask you what type of cooler/fridge you got that fit there so right, i have a caravan van too.

[@flogowizda3649]

Hi, it's a Koolatron :) Also it fits just right in our van because we removed the arm rests.

[@nascar427]

What is the net weight difference with all the wood framing compared to stock with the seats in there? How much weight did it add do you figure?

[@junekdial]

Can you make a bed that is motorized and comes out the back of the caravan and down to the ground so I can get on it as a handicap person and then it will electronically go back up in the van.

[@kaydenceayers3968]

Hi! I’ve been looking for a tutorial on making a bed like that for my minivan, but I haven’t had any luck. I’ve watched your video a few times, but I think I’m still missing a few steps. Is there a step by step video or diagram?

[@I-Told-U-So]

They need to bring back all metal inside like the 70s, 80s, etc.

[@OnekamaProducts]

Do you feel the breaks in the 3 piece mattress when sleeping? That is my biggest concern because sleep is so important.. iv been contemplating a futon mattress but not sure ill find one that fits the build i want

[@flogowizda3649]

Hi, we would sometimes especially if the van wasn't parked level but we fixed that by putting Velcro on the last cushion and the bed frame.

[@leevancleefismn]

How deep are the stow and go compartments? Wondering if i can install a standing shower.

[@papapreneurshow]

I have the same minivan. Hidden storage is about 10 inches deep.

[@davisbrawn5500]

Have so much emotions, it's gonna be my dream, i have now mazda 5 2007 I want do it same, I but I have not so much experience, thx so much

[@davidmiller2534]

Is it possible for a blueprint and a supply list

[@KirbySings]

Who's video is this? I wanted to ask them about it!

[@titannomad]

Hey I’m curious what the stuff you put on the side of the floor is? I’m about to start working on my floor and I’d love to use a similar concept as yours?

[@flogowizda3649]

Hey Titan. I used a stair nosing rubber protector. I think that's what it's called 🙂

[@titannomad]

@@flogowizda3649 Thank You!

[@letusenjoylife]

what do you call that plastic thingy for the edges

[@dee6816]

Are the reflective covers inserted BETWEEN the rear side windows & bug screens when parked or are they semi permanently installed there? If the latter, then wouldn't the reflectix move or fly out when driving? Either way, how are they held in place? I have my bug screens slipped between the rubber window frames & plastic wall edges

[@flogowizda3649]

Hi Dee, the reflective covers are between the bug screens and the windows. They can be removed from the outside (so semi-permanently installed) but we just leave them in place while we drive. They don't fly out because we always keep the windows closed when we're driving. Our bug screens are between the rubber frames and plastic edges too, so the covers sit just behind them. They're held in place mainly by the small horizontal cut for the window handle to open and close them, and by the windows when they're closed for driving. Since they're small and light they're pretty easy to keep in place. I hope I answered all of your questions :)

[@Lovelace069]

Hi where did you get the foam for the cushiins?

[@flogowizda3649]

Hi it's a memory foam ordered at Walmart. (Unsponsored 🙂)

[@Inthesouth2]

Want the passenger front seat out of my van.

[@danielwilliams5862]

Hot glue does not work in this application. It gets hot in the vehicle and the hot glue fails

[@nascar427]

Those dimensions equal 183 cm, not 180 cm.
