You’ve hit the bulls eye. Stealth camping is the ultimate stress free way to go. For most van campers half of the stress is finding a place to park legally. What’s also impressive is that even if someone peered into the interior of the van they still wouldn’t be able to tell that it’s a camper because your sink and the cabinets are folded away or hidden. Wow, For the size of the van which looks like about the size of a mini van, you did an amazing job of utilizing every space to make everything work. The best part is the fact that you can park anywhere legally and no one would know you are camping. Hands down you have the best, most efficient and practical build I’ve seen so far.

I have no interest in camping, frugal living or converting a van, but still this is easily one of the most fascinating videos I have seen! 15 minutes of pure amazement. The skill it takes to build this and the discipline to live in it and keep it so tidy. Bravo! And here I have been sitting the past 5 minutes of the video considering whether or not I should undertake the effort to walk downstairs and grab a glass of water from the fridge because I am so thirsty... Had to write this comment first though.

This is coming from me as a person who actually enjoys camping/RV trips and the such, but you couldn't pay me to live in my Valor 36V full-time and my towed camper has far more space and features than this van.

You must be an engineer. Your design is brilliant for the space you have to work with. The fact that you have both a toilet and shower in a van this size is a first for a minivan. The electrical setup is very well done. With the amount of power you have, you could easily convert your Igloo to a 12 volt freezer/fridge. No more ice, more room for food.

I was going to make a comment about him not using a 12 chest mini compressor freezer fridge. I love the square 12v hotplate that has a matching glass Tupperware with lid and insulating bag to hold it in. That is brilliant and compact. It traps most of the heat in the bag. It occurred to me this is something that could be put into a backpack and used when at a library or gym to warm up food or liquids as well (I am thinking of some kind of wide-mouth thermos with heating coils to warm the liquid inside with 12v DC power source. As a matter of fact.. if the thermos is big enough inside. it could double as a food cooker like making stews or soups as well as anything else a person would cook in a pot over a stove or in a stove? and the thermal insulation would have insulation to hold the heat inside. The lid could be built with some kind of pressure release valve to keep it from building up to much pressure? this kind of coil heating thermos might be working about with a solar panel for people hiking and camping in the wilderness as well?

Im now 60 years old and I love living on the road so many things I would never have seen if I still lived in my home. I took the chance to live my last years fully im very glad I did! Thank you for sharing!😁

I was watching this thinking how talented and organized Evan is. Then I read the description and he even wrote the music in the video. Wow, you da man!

Evan: this is BY FAR the BEST conversion I've ever seen! Incredibly ingenious, clever, and you are so clean and neat! It also looks safe and comfortable and definitely much less likely to arouse suspicion than most other conversions. I would buy your van in a minute! Fantastic job you've done there.

I’ve watched many stealth campers vids but this one really takes the cake in terms of functionality and stealth

Your van is the best and neatest build I've seen so far. That drip drainage method is genius; nobody will suspect nor care what that leak is from. Bravo, Evan! 👍🏼

That's really nice having all the electrical and plumbing at the back of the van so you can open the doors and replace things or work on stuff really easily.

After uncontable hours spent watching van videos, finally I found someone that made something totally different and so much better. Congratulations!

That’s very impressive! The last one I watched was a homeless lady who made a van and it was soo claustrophobic this one looks lovely and open! Great work

This is one of the best thought out "stealth build" I've ever seen. Well done. I can only imagine how may people would buy a finished one if these from you!

I've watched zillions of conversions, all types, vans, trucks, tiny houses. This has to be one of the most well thought out conversions I've ever seen and done impeccably I might add. Kudos to you!!

Easily one of the cleanest and most efficient builds I've seen. Short on cooking space, but still, there's a plan. Very impressive!

By far the best van conversion ever. Amazing what you have done with a small standard globaly available NV200 van. I will nominate you for the Nobel Prize of van conversions. Greetings frm Sweden

This is by far the best small van conversion I have seen. The removable panels over the floor are a genius idea that adds a lot of versatility. I would like to see a larger van dressed out like this for 2 people as well. Something with a wider bed and kitchen setup.
