Hi from San Diego, California! I love the attention to detail you put into your beautiful van. I love the desk build...ingenious how you built the cabinets around it. I will try my hand at doing a cabinet similar to yours.

[@Van_Echo]

That sounds amazing!!

[@MrEffects-GG]

hey van echo, so i dont know much about this channel but ive been able to relate with this build heavily. my gf and i have just renovated our caravan to do a round trip around the country. but we are both gamers and i stream. so i stripped out the old layout and wanted a king bed (naturally caravans have small beds) but ive designed it as an adjustable loft bed. aswell as redoing the whole caravan layout. im really eager to upload a video on it soon just like this one was done. if you wanted to do a story on us or if not all good. but i think its a really unique build that many would love to see. great job on the video editing and what not Cheers Sebastian

[@Van_Echo]

Hey mate, that sounds like a good setup! Keen to have a chat about a video. Send me an email [e-mail] cheers man

Hello from the US. Loneliness is a bit hard but it forces a person to put themselves out there. Maybe consider taking a class in something you are interested in. It might be a little more difficult finding forever friends if you are shy or constantly moving around. I am 62 and looking back there were times in my life I was alone and occasionally lonely but if you keep reaching out with love I found you'll find happiness in yourself and people will respond to that. I hope that wasn't too preachy. You seem to be a nice person and you are quite talented. Life is change. You'll get through this time. Stay calm, reach out and enjoy this time of your life it won't always be this way.

Wow. I'm just reading this for the first time and I'm really touched. Thanks for the kind words 😌 I appreciate it. Hope you're well

[@letsmeditatetogether7668]

Hi. Can you do a video on your kitchen? Im particular interested in how you designed to fit over the engine bump in the middle behind the seats. Is that where you have the curtained space? Do you have any video of when you built it? Im sure every hiace van builder would love to see. Thanks kindly.... Ally

Thanks for showing us how a low roof Hiace can be a great camper..impressive job guy, wow. :) I'm currently planning our build on a Hiace too. I'm keen on creating a 3d model myself so I can make a layout that works for us, any chance of sharing an empty shell sketchup model? 😉

[@richardelliott-m6s]

Love the build mate. If your ever on the Mornington peninsula we will be your friends.

[@gerardafernando]

Thanks for showing us ur fit out. It really looks comfortable. I hope to get a van and hopefully I can get someone to fit it out for me. If ur ever in Melbourne, come have a home cooked dinner/lunch with my family. Cheers mate and be safe on d road. Gerry

[@markhiggins3054]

Thanks heaps again. I bought one of these for my tailgate - it allows you to open the tailgate just a bit and lock it. Then roof fan you have fresh air going in. From eBay Silver Tailgate Standoff Fresh Air Vent Lock Camping Camper Dub For VW T5 Bus

It's so awesome I love it you did a magnificent job with the camper van.

[@MitchellWilkinson-m8n]

Your van looks so tidy, coordinated well designed and comfortable. Best build I've ever seen. Thanks dude.

[@JourneyVanBuilds]

​@@MitchellWilkinson-m8nwow, high praise aha thanks heaps I really appreciate it 🙂

[@elitecmdrjake]

Loneliness; I have lived in a residential unit in the heart of a major city - and felt lonely! Travelling around with my camper, as you mentioned, forces you out there, and i have met many people that way. also love the homely touches to a really planned van. (please pass on to Jake)

[@demist66]

Great job😊

[@mountainswell]

Your Hiace is incredible! One of the best builds i seen. I live and work from my Hiace in Japan and I definitely go through loneliness. Thats the hardest part to deal with

[@johniaquinta7160]

keep em coming my friend

[@Van_Echo]

We will try!

[@crazyduck1254]
