This Van Can Do Everything! Camper Van Build 2.0 - Full Tour

[@jerrytalley802]

Dave, someone living on the road would go crazy over that van. It is 100% stealth, looks totally stock, would blend in anywhere. Another creative project

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks Jerry

[@stephenbrady3305]

Love the sink.

[@handicamper101]

I Love This Model . You Did a great Job. Beautiful Van.

[@XantrexTechnology]

Congrats on your latest van build. We are excited to be a part of your future adventures. AC house power is becoming a necessity for modern van lifers and we are excited to reliably power their adventures.

[@0HARE]

Another excellent build. I really like what you’ve done with this van.

[@myrabruner3882]

Everyone acts like van life is a new thing. Back in the 80's there were groups of people driving their vans on a daily basis with the insides converted into living spaces used on the weekends. Most of them had a bed that converted into sitting spaces. Many had conversions that were party areas. Ive seen them with electric fireplaces, sinks. Even a waterfall. We traveled on weekends to other cities even other states for a weekend of partying. You packed everything need in there & went camping!

[@EndgameCampers]

Can you give me an example?

[@myrabruner3882]

@EndgameCampers me? Our van had a u shaped seat in the back with storage underneath. It had cushions on top that were covered. We put a covered board between the seats & our son slept there. We slept on a mattress with our feet underneath it. We also added a 3rd seat behind the driver's seat for our son. Then we had a storage space behind that. We just packed all of our camping supplies, food, stove, cooler, etc, in the back & took it out when we got to the campground. Ours wasn't all built out because we had a kid that went everywhere with us. Couples & singles were the ones with fancy interiors. We had a friend that used a wheelchair. She had a composting toilet in hers. We were going to weekend van meets called "Truck Ins" where you had to have a van to get in. They were Friday night, Saturday daytime & Sat night parties. Sat was games, volleyball, drinking games & kids games. There was "Show-n-Shine" where you could show your van in that model group. Sat night homemade plaques were given out to winners & then a band would play & there was lots of drinking. Kids were put to bed in your van & the party got underway. You went home on Sunday. Back when this was popular, there were groups of vanners that formed clubs. When we went to Truck-Ins, we traveled in a group like a convoy. Our club had approximately 30 vans. Our lead van was driven by a guy that went by "Undertaker" & the roof of his van had been cut down "chopped" over the front. He pulled a trailer with a coffin on it. With all the vans running behind him with headlights on, it looked like a funeral prosession. My husband & I had some acreage & twice a year in the summer we had fish fries where he caught the fish, one couple had a huge homemade deep fryer & everyone brought side dishes. We supplied the beer. These started on Fridays & ended on Sunday morning. Those were some of the best times. Even though we have all gone our separate ways & aged, I still consider them some of my best friends! Sorry this was so long.

I really like how you did this Van conversion into a comfortable Mobile setup. Thanks for Sharing. There are a couple of ideas that you gave me👍

[@EndgameCampers]

Welcome. Simple build but I think it added a lot of use ability

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

pretty slick van!

[@jaypence1911]

Turned out great! Looking forward to your next project!

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks Jay

[@jipsiemune]

Beautiful

[@Ms.Frankenbuilder]

Very nice!

[@Hylan_]

If I had money I’d buy this today

[@EndgameCampers]

It’s a good van. I drive it daily and really like it.

[@Hylan_]

@@EndgameCampers I’m jealous

[@DavidHuffTexas]

Very cool. There's definitely something to be said for starting with one of those conversion vans for your build out...

[@EndgameCampers]

I agree, it made the build pretty simple.

[@shontaefranklin3842]

Nice build, wish I had your experience

[@adventuresofshadowdog]

You knocked another one out of the park Dave! Awesome build and great video!

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks my friend

[@JonnyDIY]

👏Beautiful job Dave, another one in the books! You'll be building out Sprinter vans before you know it 😉👍

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks Jonny

[@HiTechMom]

Nice and clean build. ❤

[@genetownsend8847]

I like how you took advantage of what the van had going for it rather than tearing it all apart , as many others do. How deep is the cabinet behind the front seat? Can you get 4x8 sheet in with it in place? Nice job.

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks for recognizing that. Yes, you can fit the plywood in with the cabinet in place. I purposely made it relatively narrow for that reason. Off the top of my head, I think it’s about 16 inches deep.

[@felipefigueroa9449]

Excellent Bill outstanding

[@MikeOwens-ju5zt]

Very nice job. Dave...would love to have that

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks Mike

[@jerrytalley802]

Dave,it seems the desert is really kind to vehicles out there. Just some polish/wax and she looks like new.

[@EndgameCampers]

Absolutely true my friend

[@MichaelWilliams-ro9bm]

No humidity to create rust. Nice

[@jiggygloves2345]

New you would kill this!! Nice work Dave.

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks my friend

[@0HARE]

Yep, I knew he would ace it!

[@jiggygloves2345]

@@0HARE his truck campers have really been inspiring. I’m building a Chevy express extended cargo van camper myself.

[@ImDBatty1]

Hmmm... *takes some notes* Now if only I had the money, tools and knowledge! 🤠

[@Terirn65]

You’re in LV? Me too, 27 years! Do you ever sell your conversions? Teresa

[@EndgameCampers]

This is for sale now. Send me an email if you are interested.

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed again, DAVE

[@joemonahan2972]

Great ideas! Thank you again. Joe from Smyrna Delaware

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks Joe!

[@missmajor5640]

This is nice 👍

[@davidpatrick1813]

Good Job.

[@jerrytalley802]

Dave, just the solar, inverter, batteries, are quality and expensive. That saved a lot of work and money.

[@EndgameCampers]

It definitely did!

[@RicG.]

Another great job Dave! How many miles does the van have on it? And what kind of gas mileage does it get?

[@EndgameCampers]

106k … as far as mileage, I’m not sure. I believe the prior owner said 15mpg on freeway, but I haven’t confirmed that.

[@jerrytalley802]

Dave, I know you probably mentioned the stain color on cabinet before, but I can’t remember. Small changes made a huge difference with the pre conversion before you. Have you checked to see how much cooler it is keeping this van since with covering the windows? Thanks

[@EndgameCampers]

I unfortunately don’t remember the exact stain color, but it was definitely a brown. I think maybe just dark brown.

[@RichardCockerill]

NICE

[@EndgameCampers]

Thanks

[@FrankWaltersLovestoteach]

Which cell phone lavier are you using..siund quality is great

[@EndgameCampers]

I believe it is called smart mic. I just purchased it on Amazon. Thanks
