I love that you are a bibliophile and that you actually live in the vehicle and have for a while. Bravo.

[@erik6789]

You seem like a gentle, kind, loving soul. I wish you all joy in your new horse/home combo. Also shout out for your choice of grey: my very favorite neutral/bridging tone, classy, brighter than black, more character than white, soothing and homey, matches absolutely everything, hides at least some dirt--and for those who care about that sort of thing, never goes out of style.

[@archangel5627]

This is a fantastic build for any step van. You’ve included so many creature comforts and I can tell that this Mobil home is super comfortable. With that being said I’m very surprised that you didn’t include a full on indoor working shower considering how much space you have within the step van. Regardless, it’s a beautiful home on wheels and I know it completely works for you! Thank you for sharing and take care!

[@hipdogdsv]

I LOVE your rig. Love the floor plan you designed too. I have the same wood in my motor home I took from my barn and coops because I miss my farm.

[@mjremy2605]

Lovely build. The barn wood adds so much character to the space! Love the wooden organizers in the back too, solid and useful, and more rugged than plastic. I think you need to add a window next to stove for fumes and maybe a skylight for natural lighting. Its dark inside and gloomy. Cozy for winter nights but depressingly dark. You also need a shower room with toilet inside. A lot of space lost on huge couch which might serve you better to be replaced with a shower room partially? Lucky you for traveling so much. That is wonderful for the mind! Where do you park van when not in use? This is the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. Batteries need charging, van needs to be used or wheels will get damaged, so who takes care of this when you are gone? Paying for parking, esp sheltered parking can run $500 per month.

[@thebentley71]

If you covered you entire roof with solar panels & made a panel out of 2 or 3 solar panels that could hang on one side of the van or the other depending on what side the sun is going down or maybe just have them on both sides. Then you could turn your van into a solar electric. A lot of people are connecting them to the multi gear manual & say the 7 speed automatic transmission for efficiency. You could also put an Onan diesel generator to assist with electricity for night driving when your batteries got low. You could also put a couple of sailboat wind turbine generators on the back to corners for extra power. Then you could install regen for braking. Have you ever heard of the VIA hybrid gas/diesel electric trucks & Vans that get about 100 mpg in the city & maybe 125-150 on the highway with a V6 gas & even better with a small 4-6 diesel depending on size of vehicle.

[@grantstockdale9848]

Very very nice build and tour. It's an amazing transformation of the van I saw at Jamie's build gathering in Havasu. Hard to believe its been 3 years. Congratulations on a great build.

[@alternativehometours77]

started with an empty box; you are right and sometimes I have to step back and appreciate what I've done over 3 yrs

[@jimmyrichardson7448]

I love the idea of it being a stealth van. I don't know if I could do a build like that but I would definitely love to have something like that. Looks awesome

[@walk2miles]

I never saw a step-van before used as a living space. Very nicely done. What a great option!

[@MrClickbang357]

Ummm, since I lived in FLA for 20 years I learned a couple of things, like the highest point of elevation is Spring Hill, 34 feet!!! You may want to adjust your altimeter! Any airport should have the elevation because airplanes adjust their altimeters all the time!! Great build! I loved everything about it including the stealth "value"!!!

[@jonathanmcnabb9153]

One of my favorite builds....

[@leefithian3704]

Pretty good stuff , a great stepping stone for improvement, steadily or better yet another van to Build while you travel in this one , for instance, new van gets carbon fiber instead of wood , better insulation, ect

[@gglen2141]

I'm loving your van. It is set out really well. The toilet, superb, all it needs to be. The drinking water tank. Perfect, those tin water tanks give out good water. And it looks the part. Doors closed, you wouldn't even notice it on your street.

[@tosh006]

Very nice. But 2 questions 1) why not put the toilet next to the tools. And not by the food.. And wouldn't a enclosed room with a fan also help for odors?

[@xlamontx]

Followed your build from the beginning. It fantastic seeing how comfortable you have made it for yourself. 👍🏾

[@alternativehometours77]

I quite enjoy it!

[@moriver3857]

Very nice indeed. Good idea since a lot of cities are now prohibiting RVs parked in parking lots. To further enhance your incognito status, you should install a sort of drapes or plain color curtain behind the driver area to keep the back out of sight. And looking at your height, you made the right choice.

[@donnabursey1457]

You can see he has a curtain between the driving area and the living area. It's pulled aside, but I noticed it in some of the shots.

[@clarencemarinoiii1362]

I really like your build. I am a tall guy also and I have looked at van builds and ambulance builds etc. and that was always a worry for me. I plan on building something over the next few years for when my last child is out of the house so I can road trip and have somewhere to call my own while I do. Thank you for the Step van Idea. Maybe when I start building it I will start my own channel to show the progress of the build.

[@superxorn]

Nice to see a solution for people as tall as me :) Great build!

[@kenkre1212]

Love your van. I've always wondered why more people do use them for an RV. Eclectic, purposeful and simple, great job.

[@bigdrob54]

Great camper, I picked up a few great ideas from your video. Very clever, love the license plate back-splash, 12V Edison lamps, and the heater on hinges!

[@linda_lawson]

Seven, I have followed you for a while. I really love the way your home has evolved.

[@cripnipp]

Very nice job. That is my dream to live VAN LIFE.

[@taylorseumalu4133]

I love your van it’s like you’re in a living room

[@pringlized]

I'm just starting this journey. Your internal feels like a local bar I want to hang out at every night. You are my hero.

[@LifeBetweenTheDash]

Haven't seen your van in a while so good to see all the changes.

[@neilgelinas9926]

Very nice mobile tiny house. Well thought out. Very cozy.

[@Tenright77]

Nicely done Steven. You enjoyed quite a learning curve on your van adventure. Good luck in your future pursuits.

[@johncichon9499]

Thanks for sharing your life and your van. Your build has been an inspiration to me!

[@spleerfloof]

I like the kombucha set up and the wave heater on a hinged panel

[@sandrastevens2793]

Looks great someone was selling one in my neighbor hood. I passed on it was a little older. But love seeing your interior. So nice space is great. Almost too much. I would build out shower. Dry math and all the bells and whistles.

[@agentofficerthomasa.porter107]

Want to wish you a Great New Year, been some time since have seen ya as not gotten the notices of new programs. KZbin has been that way for so many sights. I am sure with the heavy use of the majority using the internet it has been on overload. I get my internet through Satellite & the Universe may appear to be on overload also. LOL! You are look'n great & remember all about your step up as watched when you went & got it & overtime the build. You inspired me greatly & then some & I Thank-You for being there. With the Corona-19 Virus Pandemic, I am in a holding pattern to get all done to move forward & that is ok for now. Come January 20th, 2021 we will all get to start moving forward & not in reverse anymore. Looking forward in the season that will be to move forward in my journey. You keep me going with your inspiration & sharing always. take care & be safe in your health & travels. always, Tommy :-)

[@stephaniesmythe8449]

Looking good, Seven. Your rig has come a long way! Hope things are going well in FL despite the storms.

[@randomspirit]

Love the LED lights in the ceiling. I did that in my house all the way around the livingroom and down the hall to the bathroom. :)

[@viuus]

You have one of the best vans I've seen on here! Love your style! Keep making awesome videos! Thankx

[@quintongordon1477]

Great conversion, but I have to ask... why would you put your toilet under your pantry vs. under the tool storage???

[@branchsnapper2228]

Love the constellation ceiling

[@rolo123456ful]

Very nice rig! Impressive, and functional indeed! The exterior white paint job, keeps you cooler, in the summer, but my only concern, if stealth camping in urban environments, have you ever been "tagged"? The huge white color side of the box truck, unfortunately would be a tempting canvas, for these taggers to paint their crap, onto the side of your van.

[@bzrbuzzy]

Wowza!! So cool to see how far this has come! YOU ROCK!

[@Slifdoggy]

This is the greatest DIY home on wheels I have seen - kudos!

[@vitocorleone1627]

Love this type of van and the set up. Only downfalls are the shower situation and composting toilet. The sinks and counter top are Awsome but too long. I would shorten by 3 to 4 feet on each side for the shower and toilet. Outside of that it’s an Awsome traveling vehicle and the best part is it’s Stealth and blends in anywhere opposed to having a camper which stands out.

[@1943vermork]

That’s a nice big van. Always asked myself if it could be stealthier by adding fake “low key” business decals outside. Like, Uniform and safety apparel inc. or Parking lots marking and signs inc. or Driveway/walkway cleaning service for example. Low budget business is key. But then it’s more recognizable overtime than just plain white.

[@snappingturtle1621]

Go with the magnetic business signs. Just change them out as needed. Even better if it would be a business you or someone you know owns. Take the call and move on to better business area.

[@julioalmeida4980]

I was in doubt about adapting a van or a box truck, you pushed me to the box truck for sure :D

[@Dies1r4e]

everything but the toilet was very cool. I would not put waste right below dry good foods this is how plagues happen! lol

[@danagerds]

I just got a shuttle bus, I cant wait to build it into a camper!

[@_Common_Logic_]

A suggestion would be to simply affix some aluminum "U" shaped channel to the bottom of your larger tabletop so that it can slide over the edges of the existing table. It would be held securely in place with a tool-free, 5-second swap. If the closest available channel size is a hair big, you could adhere some thin plastic sheeting (like the colored cutting sheets) on the underside of the larger table to protect the smaller table's surface. This would solve the headache (and wear) of unscrewing one table to use the other while eliminating any lose hardware. Just a thought. ;-)

[@MrElf31]

I watched you hunt down that van and build it up. I hate to see your selling it. I pray all is good with you. May god watch over you and bless you on your next journey and beyond.

[@relyenterprisestx]

I drove a box van for years as a job. They suck on the Highway. So loud and uncomfortable. The aluminum floor gets hot enough to fry an egg on. Hate to be a downer because it’s a good idea unless you plan on driving anywhere or traveling a lot.

[@annecaulder9495]

I imagine the driving of a vehicle like this is just a little at a time.

[@jonnyreach8345]

When you've defeated all of the other hipsters, you must then face the mobile kombucha hipster boss. 😂 I'm only teasing. Impressive build!

[@benfoster5387]

I died. Funny as heck.

[@cornbob6218]

For the toilet you could have that closet door flip it so instead of a curtain you open the door to cover where you would put curtain

[@safedriver1979]

Great tour, i drive for UPS, been watching vanlife videos, very unique house, 👌

[@H2oBr0]

Cool step-van. I think I would not put the toilet in the food pantry though.

[@imm311]

What a beautiful home. God bless!!

[@michaelsmith9308]

Very nice build and layout, love the hidden toilet!

[@slowjoecpsf]

Nice setup It is really roomy. It looks like the rear of the van is sagging a bit. Maybe some stiffer leafs could solve that?

[@Jake2670]

air bags better way to go, that way U can adjust to just the right rate

[@thomasbarlow4223]

@@Jake2670 air bags always fail. They leak within 10 years max... not really a lasting solution. Cool but not worth the cost

[@EvanEscher]

Hey I'm just getting interested in this. I was wondering if there are any good guides on how to repurpose one of these step vans--like what materials do you need to get?, how much insulation do you need?, etc

[@bobbates7343]

Looks like you did a great job fixing up that van . I would have put a shower in it but other then that it seems really great .

[@Bluebird590]

we all would surely enjoy to see you travel to foreign countries your explanation is marvelous see the adventures you experienced sounds like fun I cannot experience so I thought of bringing it up with you okay thanks

[@Chris_at_Home]

Pretty cool. I’ll bet you could build a shower by mounting some ABS on the roof. Put the fill valves inside. People will just think it is a plumber truck and with a place to carry pipe.

[@bigjoe2458]

I have a question. You have used grey boards for wall covering. approximately how thick are those boards and how did you attach them?

[@PowerhouseOriginal]

Thanks for the video Seven. I was wondering how you deal with security and if you've ever had any break ins?

[@johnrickard8512]

I'd say delivery vans and luxury passenger minivans are probably the two best vehicle types that can be used for this if you want to fly under the radar. A random delivery van parked at the right spot in an industrial zone is unlikely to attract attention, and a luxury minivan parked in a residential area with the shades up won't be out of place either.

[@mikej1097]

for as stealth as that thing is the window unit is a dead giveaway. Needs a mini split with the condenser hidden underneath or on top badly

[@CaptRich-bi3gp]

Wall behind your driver's seat...? Like the kitchen/seating area a lot. 👍

[@carloscardova4221]

What does it look like pulling a cargo trailer conversion adding a garage for tiny electric car in the back and with all the hookups one need for charging it up . I can see this type of build being a reality , now there are electric step vans like the Ford transit and others for commercial use . I know there's more up keeping in the 96 Grumman then you had wanted and because of the age and mileage we had to watch you in constant repair's . Just when we thought you had everything rectify you go and sell the Step van . I wanted to suggest sound deadening material before anything , and by the time I caught up with your build you already move on to trailer project and just when I look back on the whole thing that you have said about trying out this minimalistic type of life style your carrying more stuff to think of then you got . it's hard enough just getting through day to day in life with COVID around makes one think twice✌

[@flightdoc9087]

Excellent! Very practical and balanced build. Very stealth too
