Yours is my favorite Ford build so far! My fiancé and I are building out a former passenger Ford Econoline, and trying to figure a way around the rear AC without removing it. This was super helpful to watch- our main concern is the size of the bed, is it comfortable for 2 people? Considered having a fixed bed but we would have to build such a high platform to go over the ac Unit and we want more head space!
@RMTravels
@RMTravels Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Yes, it is a good size for two people. A nother option is to close out the ac and have the stationary bed set at length with the front and back of the van. Similar to how we have the couch but without the cut in the middle. If you have an extended van this would work well but if not then you just have to keep in mind that the side door will most likely hit the bed when closing but this is something that can be adjusted. You can check out more of our van conversions @woodpeckercraftsandbuilds this one is my woodworking channel. Good luck on your build and dont be afraid to reach out if you need tips 🕺🏻

It comes in sheets that are 8"x 4". Good Luck on your build!

How did you block off the rear heat/AC unit? I just bought the same van to covert and did not realize it was there. Contacted many mechanics and they all advised not remove it. I see you blocked it off but wondering if you did anything to it before covering it. Thanks.
@RMTravels
@RMTravels 3 жыл бұрын
Hi kelly! We were also brainstorming on ways to remove, by pass and all sorts of things before we decided to just leave everything as is and build around it. As long as you don't turn on the rear ac nob everything is ok. We also thought about building a bed Horizontally right above it but that will not allow you to sit up on the bed since your head will be hitting the roof. You would have some killer storage space though! These are just some of the options we considered. Good Luck!

I have a similar e350 I deleted everything for the back heating and looped the supply and return back together. Thinking about using it is as an on board hot water heater. Tie in some metal lines to heat water inside of an insulated vessel. Like big pvc pipe, for the body / water supply of an outdoor shower. DIY solar shower type of build but using heat from the engine to warm the water while hiding it underneath the back platform. If I don’t go that route I will just river sheet metal over the holes where the lines come up into the back. Anyways, like your build

I own a 2006 e350 as well. I enjoyed your video while I brainstorm designs and layouts. I'm currently doing some exterior modifications before I start working on the interior. How did you go about fasteni g the wood panels to the walls and doors? What did you do for the ceiling? I am debating on leaving to stock ceiling in because I would like to utilize the vents for the rear heat and ac. I thought it was clever that you boxed off your rear unit.
@RMTravels

Hi Ross! We are glad you enjoyed the video! On the walls we attach 2x4 to the inside of the van and that is what everything else like the cabinets and panels get attached to. As far as the doors we drill the wood directly in to the door, pre drilling every hole with a drill bit. The ceiling has about 5 beams that holds it in place we attach wood to that and that acts like the 2x4s on the walls of the van. If you have some time, check out this van build here kzbin.info/www/bejne/l52mlYR4er2ar6M you can see more of what happens in the back ground of the finished van. Hope this helps, enjoy the build... easy does it!

Hi sd bolt, thanks for the heads up! Do you know where we can get more information about this? We have never done a raffle before so we didn't know about these laws. The whole point of us doing it would be for the opportunity of someone getting a van like this for almost nothing. Before we made our first van, we had dreamed about having one for a while and I am sure other have as well. We will definitely look in to it more. Thanks again.

Is this the 15 passenger E350? I like your lay out but it seems like you can’t use the bathroom once you slide out to make the bed ? What’s underneath the sofa bed, can you make it lower so you have more head room ?

Thanks so much and yes it is. We had in mind taking out the portable toilet but we're thinking of different ways. For the bed yes you can but we like the storage space and a comfortable mattress ( 8').

*You can't use the toilet?* *Why did you make it where the plywood was higher than the toilet??* *AND When the bed is down it can't be used!!* *The door on the front of the sink would be a pain. Why not just put hinges on it???* *Some of the things you have done, don't make sense!!…* *BUT there is some pretty things you guys did that were really nice, like the whole window area. I like the corner boards in the back with the White curtains.* *It's really nice. Just not a good layout.*

My friend and I want to do van life we are trying to do van life for our growth spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. We want to become the highest version of ourselves and we would really appreciate being added into the list it would help us get our plans moving if we did win. We want to film our journey as well and help people in each state we go in some way, because the world needs light and maybe her and I can add some back.. at least that’s the plan. Anyways I would really appreciate being put on the list.

Hi Sam, on our first van we did and I - Roger would always end up in the gap in the middle of the night ...lol!! We had cut that one with a knife so it was a bit uneven but now we have an electric foam cutting saw that cuts really precise. you still feel the gap a little bit if you are laying directly on it but not enough to become a bother. Hope that helps with your decision. Have fun on your build!
