Tyll's Step Van Tiny House Tour E436

[@abs2fast2furios]

Glad to see he's healthy and doing well. Still miss him at InnerFidelity but wish him the best on his journeys.

[@sidvicious3129]

I second that Tyll was a Legendary Headphone reviewer and their has still been no replacement for him. I’m glad that he is happy and he can live his life out as he chooses. Very few people have the courage to do what Tyll has done and I wish him and others who do this the best.

[@keithusace4352]

Well that's as simplistic a build as I could do and darn near everything you would need . Bravo.

[@eatonleo]

Tyll, being an audiophile, I appreciate all the accomplishment you have achieved to help the community. Thank you!

[@halliadams5987]

Ingenious cooling system! I never get tired of seeing people's cool and creative ideas. Kudos to Tyll for a job well done!

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he had several unique ideas there

[@cottagegymfun]

That thing is total stealth, even the rear bumper (inbuilt tool box) looks totally legit as a work truck. Love it!

[@freedomfred6518]

Tyll gave me a tour at the Van Build Party. I am still in awe. He is an awesome craftsman for sure.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he's got skills!

[@Anthrit]

His heating and cooling system was what blew my mind and never thought about it. He is also a fellow Montana man like me ... He is a win in my book.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

the ventilation system is really awesome. I think he'll be adding a set of fans to it soon

[@antoinep9733]

Tyll’s a legend in the headphone world, now he’s a step van legend too! Great to see you again friend, enjoy your travels.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he told me he used to do headphone reviews, but wasn't really aware of his background until meeting him

[@antoinep9733]

Seven Wanders the World It’s like running into Pele at the mall and he tells you he used to kick a ball around occasionally 😂

[@judyhobday4760]

love his cheerful demeaner. Love his dog. I am pleased he has a ceiling catch for the cupboard. So many people do not have this feature which puzzles me.

[@saradanser894]

Who could possibly not like this sweet lil van & man??

[@mongo5888]

Dont forget his puppy copilot! 😁

[@KL-bg8fi]

👍🏾👍🏾 I like the composting toilet & the door seperation the front of the van to the back of the van !

[@christinamarie3598]

I love his design!! Pretty ingenious guy. Every design with a "garage" make sooo much sense. The thought and execution of his design...sooo cool.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he didn't mention it, but he used a CAD program and had everything planned to the inch (and executed his build accordingly)

[@sdnlawrence5640]

I like idea of tool box that can double as a work bench or a cooking table or even fab a top to make a (patio) deck; and if mounted on a receiver hitch, you could even remove the whole thing for entry into national parks and area where overall length is a consideration.

[@brucemercer7753]

But he does have to give up an EXIT door to have that garage. That is not cool to me. But at least he is an original.

[@Ohsage1111]

LOVED the way the lid lifted on the toilet. Clever. And the curve in the bedroom divider is very attractive. Cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@tripperdonnie]

Met Tyll at the RTR, amazing van and super cool guy. Plus he really knows how to throw a party!

[@danielblanchat2320]

boy howdy

[@lisathompson5742]

Fantastic. This man has sure got some unique ideas like for the cooling system. His idea's sure work and I hope he keeps on inventing his ideas and like he said when he does these he don't know if they are gonna work or not! I hope they carry on working for him. Your ventilation system man that's amazing 👍👍👌👌🏡🏡 Thanks for letting us tour your home it's incredible what you have done in a smallish space. Happy travelling for hopefully many many blissful years. Lisa UK xx

[@wendyadams3754]

Between you and Seven I am convinced: Itis going to be a step van conversion for me. And, Tyll, you have a fantastic personality. I am half in love with you on the strength of this vid alone. Great little home.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

Tyll has some amazing build skills and a wonderful step van. would be happy to have you join the small group of us with step vans (and perhaps cross paths with you some day!)

[@bemccune7671]

Brilliant idea with the ventilated walls! Its so simple and practical but wow, that's awesome.

[@lizlo8586]

This man has an excellent step van, so many creative ideas. What I liked the most was his cooling ventilation system.

[@bobsmyth9069]

Double insulated wall with airspace... GENIUS!

[@floridaboy34601]

This guy had a great idea with the way he insulated his van. Using his fan to draw out the hot air in the walls is genius. I will do this with my bus. Thank you for the video and thank him for the idea.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

I'm happy you enjoyed the video!

[@lizzy2shoes557]

Tyll looks to be an incredibly Fun, yet Valiantly WISE brother! Hats off to you both with these Fantastic Step-Vans!!!

[@Paul.Douglas]

Awesome and unique ideas put into practice. One of the best conversions I've seen on youtube. The evacuated air space is GENIUS!

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

Tyll has a lot of talent!

[@jamesnobles4050]

Hello,,I enjoyed looking your build,i can also used some of your ideas,i have a 16 ft van i sell fruits,boiled p nuts on the side of the road 4 days a week to make me a living,i use 6 ft for my bed and living quarters the other 10 ft is storage for the many differant fruits i sell on the roadside,i park in truck stops at night time,just like i did when i was a trucker many yrs ago,,now i am OLD 72,and retired,and live alone,i plan to install solar (3) 300 watt panels on top for my air con,thanks everyone,,good information here in youtube,

[@CoffeeTRuck3914]

good job, you actually integrate stealth RV and food truck together. it's a good idea.

[@helened6896]

An exceptional build. I love the extra insulation and creativity. Love the large tool box on the back. A great idea that it looks like a work van for greater security. A great guy too. I love his beautiful personality. Good success to you, Tyll.

[@religionishipocrisy]

you sir, are a genius. that wall cooling system you designed is fantastic. I'm saving this video for when i build mine. Thank you for sharing this!

[@dejonsmall9886]

Seven, Dude you really hit this out of the ballpark. Tyll did an awesome build. It doesn't appear that he lost any/much space with the roll up door in the rear. I'm going to follow his build...Again this was fantastic.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

happy you enjoyed the video! it was a really nice build

[@dominicgreen115]

TYLL!!!! My man, he is a legendary audio guru! Miss your brother!

[@vanlifethetravelinfranksho5611]

Excellent cooling system. If I've heard right most step and don't come with air conditioning or Cruz control. This brings stepvans back onto my favorite vehicle list for van life. Yay!!

[@freedomring4813]

I like my plain 5 gallon bucket and wooden toilet seat and a one use 13 gallon trash bag.....poop ,pull out, tie and throw away. No wasted space but the size of the bucket stored away. Other wise nice job.

[@Mity_Moose]

Seven. Thanks for sharing that tour. He is a cool guy, and very inventive. Lot's of ideas there.

[@jamiesmith1343]

the heating and cooling system is ingenious, you need to patent that! great build!

[@ArtsyLadyCrafter]

Like the turnbuckles/latches for the cabinets, smart and simple stealth props in cab, love the bright white interior too! TFSharing.

[@robinkatsu]

from every van build i get at least 1 idea and from you i will copy the stealth details hemet, hi-vis vest and clipboard thx

[@cam-bo11]

Wow!! I love brilliant, but simple solutions and this guy seems to have mastered it. Love how light and bright the interior is as well.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he definitely has some fantastic skills!

[@mischef18]

Now that is one cool dude bro, some inspiring ideas he has in the van. Thanks for videoing and showing. ATB

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he gave me several ideas for my own build

[@allenrousseau5668]

Hey Seven! Wow! Thank you for sharing Tyll's step van tour! Wow! So many ideas put into reality! Love it! Love the doggy box too! [My doggy used to sleep on the dog house [eng cover] had a big cushion their! They always wanna see whats going on I guess! God bless! And God bless to Tyll as he starts his new journey! Enjoy the coffee! Savoring each moment!

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

happy you enjoyed the van tour video. Tyll has an amazing build

[@RVingLiveTheDream]

Nice van. You did an awesome job. Welcome to,the wonderful world of RVing !

[@marcdewilde518]

Very very interesting video. Wonderful ideas that do not break the bank and a no nonsense design- great job - ATB Marc - Belgium

[@Scorpiomary]

Yes some cool ideas. He said he lives in MT.. I was raised there and my family still lives there. Me ... I am in Florida, me and cold we don't get along to good. I loved his build. Thanks for sharing.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

Montana is a bit too cold for me in winters, but lovely in summers. quite the opposite in Florida. I lived in Tampa, Lakeland, Orlando, Del Rey and Ft Lauderdale. summers were brutal with the humidity but winters were quite nice!

[@hickman7909]

lol,funny thing had checked out your web site yesterday,and this morning found you on you tube and give dart a big hello

[@queenlorea2094]

You have wonderful ideas to create a very homey step van lifestyle. Thanks for sharing and many blessings❣️🌲🎁♥️

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

Tyll has a wonderful build

[@tomcaldwell5750]

Wow! Great conversion. Thanks Seven and Put for showing us around.

[@stevenleith7663]

Hello there, putz is a rocket scientist. I've never seen such a cool step van. Ingenious practical and user friendly. I'm impressed as heck. More videos please. Thanks

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he definitely has some skills. I think you'll enjoy my upcoming box truck tour which I'll upload later this week

[@RunFromHumanContacts]

Oh wow the idea with the seat! What a great idea! Love ur dads painting

[@lindaroyal8161]

Very nice, good layout, well thought out, very practical. Like the guy also, great personality. thank you for sharing.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he has a very upbeat attitude toward life

[@excelsiorservices351]

[@DROY2004]

You’re mirroring my future plans down to your pooch “ Dark” & electric bike, my plan is to sell my house, buy a UPS/step-van modify & stock it to my style & needs & live full time. My plan is to live in New Mexico/Arizona area, living in the 7000/9000’ level in summer & the desert in winter, all you need is a few roof fans. I’ve found that a minimalist life-style is better for me bc the more “stuff you have, you don’t own it, it owns you” in repair , time & money. Good build , good tour! Shalom!

[@Seastorm-nh8cv]

Love the cooling system! Keep us posted this winter regarding the heating of your home! This is one of the nicest step van conversions I have seen. I just saw Sylvan Secrets, too. And the walls are straight. You have provided us with a lot of creative ways to live the life. Thanks...will be watching for more!

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

Tyll has some great ideas in his build. thanks for watching!

[@judyjudyjudy9593]

Seven I want you to know that you do an excellent interview! This man did an incredible job of creating his van! No wasted space either!!!! Clean too!!! Thank you Seven! Be careful, have a great "rest of your day" see you soon!!! LOL Judie

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

Judie, thx for the compliment! I prefer doing interviews were the other person does all the talking and you hear very little from me

[@sbb6779]

Yeah, this guy is awesome. If I remmber right he had a giant following on his headphone review material. Glad to see he's enjoying his retirement.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

you are correct about his headphone reviews

[@triaticnomadics1108]

Great tour Seven. Love the long cabinet and cabinet door idea from Tyll.

[@georgepierce8535]

Brilliant! Even without the fan, the hot air would rise and draw cooler air in.

[@skilso]

I am from U.K. and watched many of you reviews. Good luck with your venture

[@trentmason009]

I love how smart these kinds of guys are! Very fun to watch and be inspired.

[@alvaradacosta293]

Hey buddy.. I really liked his cooling system... excellent idea... glad that it's working well for him.... I hope that the winter months work out just as well..... Good job Tyll

[@sueg2658]

He has used some very creative ideas, great job!

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he is a talented builder!

[@regginaldwilliams9381]

Super clever and I love your electrical design.

[@lindaclark5911]

Tight ship! I like it clean light awesome!. Montana in winter whoa! Thats impressive!

[@Japhill75]

So practical it’s amazing...!

[@ronmiller7916]

Practical? What's his gas mileage? Shouldn't that factor HEAVILY into your definition of "practical"? It certainly factors into mine.

[@Japhill75]

Ron Miller hey Ron....! Thanks for stopping bye and ripping my comment to shreds buddy..! If you want a conversation around your thinking ... I’m happy to chat . What do you think is not practical? In my humble opinion there does not seem to be much that is extravagant or superfluous. Interested in exploring your thinking👍😁

[@mattolsson8816]

I would love to hear more about the cooling system and if there has been any problem with condensation between the two walls of insulation. Great ideas in this one! Thanks!

[@joanmilano5302]

Wow! What a great setup!!

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

I agree; it was very well thought out

[@bobbytheblade2550]

I love this stealth set up, but I just want to comment on tha man behind this box truck. What a great guy!

[@danielblanchat2320]

one of the greatest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

[@michaelblasi9412]

Wow what a rig, well thought out and quite the craftsmanship! Great interview Seven.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

thanks Michael for watching!

[@matthoward1174]

Great build! Really nice and well worked out step van.

[@TheTruthKiwi]

Man, youtube and the internet are an amazing thing. A couple of hours ago I was doing some research on looking at getting some good quality headphones and found Tyll's review on some I'm interested in. I liked his laid back and intelligent demeanor and checked out some of his other vids. Then was shocked to discover he'd retired! Seem's like a pretty tough job to retire from so I totally understand! (I'm just being a smartass as I'm sure he had a day job too). Anyway, discovered Putts and his blog through this video. Sounds like he's had a varied and interesting life from serving to electrical engineering, audio engineering, CAD and goodness knows what else. Just skimmed the vlog so far so looking forward to an interesting read. He hasn't been on there in awhile so hope he's ok and is living the dream. Thanks for sharing

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Great van tour, thank you! This was a great find! 7:06 - it would have been very helpful at this point to focus the camera on what was below the table rather than remain fixed on him. Ditto for other moments. Always let the camera roam to what he is talking about, not stay fixed on him. Then the video becomes more interesting. Tyll's sandwich walls and heat draw system are genius! Very clever Tyll! I wonder if it would help even more to make holes below the van and draw cool air from under the van (always shaded) into the walls and van interior? I saw an engineer do this (Dave Orton) with his tiny Ford Transit conversion. He made a plug on the floor of the interior living space that could be pulled up to create a hole to suck in air from under the van. He said, its always the coolest air since is it always the shaded area. Smart concept! With regard to heater, you may want to check out the cheap $200 Chinese diesel heaters that are similar to Espar, Webasto, and Truma. They come with their own flat small diesel tanks and are very efficient in low diesel use, have NO condensation, easy to refill at any gas station, and no danger of explosion like propane. Propane has condensation, explosion, and you need to find costly refill stations. What a great van build, so interesting. Please make a separate one to explain the insulation, and how it works in more detail. This deserves some exploring. Concept is easy to understand but easier to implement if we see details. Thanks again, well done!

[@SylvanSecrets]

I want that window!!! A very nice composting toilet. No one seems to believe me that they really don't smell. Glad someone get's it :)

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

I'm pleased to see others doing the composting toilet. I should have mine built in the next month or so

[@rhondawaldron]

Wow even better than I anticipated

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

a very cool build

[@larryburch919]

Tyll's cooling system is like one of those vacuum insulating coffee cups. I have been debating on what to get. A skoolie or a box truck / van. With the box truck, I could copy Tyll's idea using metal studs and not lose the height. The only problem with that is those are work trucks and are beat to hell and still cost a lot of money. No wonder you don't see that many videos on conversions of those.

[@bohoxplorer840]

wow really well designed love the pop up counter top over the fridge, Great utilization of space in this build. Wow what a great design on the cooling system you came up with..wow. I wish I could do this in my Bus,,but I could never designate 4 inches in each wall....Plus I have all of my original damm windows still in place,,, I have to take care of that in the spring .

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

it is an amazing cooling system

[@46B3x2you]

Thank you Tyll, and Thank You Seven. Lovin it !

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Nice parce l deliver van!I really like the cooling system. In my grumman ford step van I went with 5.5" thick rock wool (r-19?)for super insulation and sound deadening and it works great. I just need to insulate my front wall for really extreme temperatures, You are correct...insulating is the biggest project involved with step van. The only more difficult insulation project is a skoolie. Don't ask me how I know!

[@carriedugan6769]

Great ideas!! Tyll looks like a great guy to camp with!! Happy travels!!

[@bobsargeant9540]

What a great piece of carpentry and integration.

[@cathyann1601]

What an inspiration! So many great ideas!!!

[@305dreamhonda]

Nice interview, and you sir, savor the moment as well.

[@Cindhypallares]

I love how clean and minimal and simple his rig is!!

[@cliffp.8396]

The insulation and cooling system in this build are truly unique and interesting.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he has some great skills!

[@ryanchristie5349]

I like your paracord/camlock setup in your cabinets. That alone made your vid worth watching. (The rest is good to). Build is relatively clean and simple, looks like you did everything pretty economically.

[@vincentmaes3554]

I like the insulation aspect of your build. Good job.

[@ronhart4166]

love the finish colors. easy on the eyes!! great way to store the fridge also .

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

his countertop setup is very smart

[@stephaniesmythe8449]

Fun. I keep learning. By the time I get my van, I might have some good plans!

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

it is fascinating that we think we know what we want before building, then once we have it we realize somethings are simply not how we thought they would be or work like we plan... I think that is why so many van builders go thru 2 or 3 floor plan builds

[@rebeccatreeseed410]

Second time I have watched this. I am impressed by his cooling system.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he does have a unique cooling duct system

[@roadrider1959]

Excellent van tour!! Nice practical build, Tyll. Also my eye caught your ADV sticker. Hello fellow Adventure Rider inmate!! I am ADV mcrider1959

[@karenk7310]

Tyll has a great personality, he should youtube, very nice guy, and love the van, thanks for showing us his build...

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he has a youtube channel for headphones (which are his speciality) but not for his van build

[@shauna5466]

What a great build!

[@andrewwilson8317]

Some real thought and clever engineering gone into this conversion. Insulation and air management is a key concept. Getting this right effects every other aspect of living in the conversion. I used compressed wool boards for insulation and combined with a breathable membrane I think I have it right. Mine good for -20c to +30c living so perfect for UK climate.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

compressed wool boards are amazing. they are not very common here in the USA

[@andrewwilson8317]

Seven Wanders the World surprising they hard to come by. They are a product created out of desperation! The farmers were getting so little for fleeces they were loosing money shearing their sheep. There was no market for the fleeces until the insulation boards were created to create a market for them. A poor state of affairs for the farmers, cheap imported wool reduced their product to almost zero value. Natural wool has so many advantages- organic,fire resistant,breathable,long lasting,chemical free and supports hard working farmers.

[@JOHN42TD]

Hey mate, good seeing youve got a van loved your other channel for years

[@rosabivins2558]

Beautiful home.. thanks for sharing 🤗

[@makiwa]

Nicely done Tyll..... I like it!

[@raynoladominguez4730]

Smart, this is my favorite conversion to date.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

mine too!

[@euphioquestion420]

Awesome conversion! Will definitely incorporate some ideas, thank you Tyll.

[@Nana__________________________]

This guy is a character. Love this one.

[@carpenterfamily6198]

Wow - lots to like about this build, but that cooling system takes the cake ! 10:41

[@gogomas]

Excellent build, well done.

[@jameslaiola4976]

Now this is my full dream. I really love this and yes I thank you for your video.

[@poopnugget1077]

Love the passenger seat that is so smart!

[@kenk2345]

very innovative cooling ventilation system...nice

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

it was a great idea

[@GTLees]

Hello Seven and Tyll and Dart! Right outta the gate I've gotta say that Dart is one cool little dude. I dig the toolbox location, as you demonstrated it would be great when you're set up with a bench and doin' some work. At first I, admittedly, thought that the composting toilets would be nasty but the more I see 'em and learn about 'em I think that's what I would go with in my own rig. That little barrel bolt you have to lock the cover up is smart. I cannot imagine bein' in the fecal position and that thing comin' down on my head. Your rig seems to be well set up and that passenger seat is far-out. Your ventilation system is ideal! Many years ago my high school drafting teacher and I designed a home that had the same basic principal. I had never heard of airspace being used for temperature control that way before then, he taught me a lot. I also haven't heard many people talking about that kinda system since and you may be the first person I've seen put it into practice. I'm jealous heh, heh. Tyll, your step van has it's stealth but also great functionality and I have to guess comfort as well, thanks for the tour. Great installment Seven, very interesting and entertaining, thank you. ......................................PEACE!!

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

composting toilets are fascinating. there is a channel I watch called "Bus Life NZ" about a family traveling New Zealand in a bus. for the first year the wife said she would never ever use a composting toilet due to ick factor, smells and cleaning. after several months in the bus they were having lots of problems with the traditional RV toilet and black tank (kids putting stuff in it that would get caught in the propellor system and jam it). it also overflowed into the rig once causing quite the stink. during that time they met another bus couple who had a composting toilet. she saw how it didn't smell at all and they would go a week or more between emptying it. she was sold and they ripped out their old toilet and installed the composting. she says she loves it and it is so much better than the black water toilet. she is astounded how resistant she was given how much easier the composting toilet is to use, less smell and never any problems with the kids. I was sold on it after seeing their experience!

[@GTLees]

I've seen a few of their videos, I like their rig. Yes, that kinda story is enough to sell the composting toilet. They just make sense in every way to me now. I was in the "ick column" until recently heh, heh.

[@sarge27271]

Love how man can be so ingenious. Great stealth build! Cheers
