I have a house and it’s not big, but I’ll spend hours every week thinking now where did I put those extra hair ties or some other related item. I am also very impressed that you remembered what was in each item! I have a lot of bags like you have and I have to open them every day.

It is an extraordinary build for sure! You succeeded in your goal of minimalist living. Some of the things I liked: 1. Two rear fold down tables on the doors, very nice! 2. Electrical panel mounted on wood against the sliding door, very effective use of space. 3. Love the colorful ceiling, so nice. 4. Long ski storage area under the bed. Clever to make that huge space. 5. The auto window blinds - genius! I'd love to know how you automated the blinds, this is really cool! 6. I like the bold colors and different surface textures. Very nice kitchen countertop, looks like Corian. Lovely. A fine job on the build. I don't know how you fit all that in, and whether you are within range of the GVWR weight ratings. The Transit Connect does not have much CCC or cargo carrying capacity. Personally, I would get a larger van for all your gear and ease of cooking and living. This is too small for all your hobbies. Not safe to put propane here either. Thanks for an enjoyable tour. You are a genius!

Agree totally regarding amazing fit out and re the safety/legal concerns. The GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass), being the total weight of the vehicle when loaded (including people), is well exceeded! The wooden cupboard above the stove is way too close to the flames. However I’m totally impressed at his ingenuity - have not seen any professional or self build with all his switches etc. - loved the little things like light turning on to remind him the water pump was on.

LOVE your van built, AMAZINGLY CLEVER!!! The best I've seen: Your presentation was succinct and fun. Hope you continue with your channel. Interested in learning more about insulation, and how it holds up in cold weather.Thanks for sharing

A D20 hanging out with odds and ends, and a comments section full of talk about hobbies and originality ... Finally, a rare van video that I can tell I'll relate to and learn things from! I'm a nerd with lots of interests and I'm upgrading over the next couple of years to a proper tiny house trailer, so it's lovely to see people's innovative space usage ideas. Really loving the use of the sliding side door as an access area for your electrical system! Very cool video, and I'm only a bit of the way in! Thanks for sharing this!

This van setup, and you, are very impressive. Just looking at all those wires makes my brain hurt. Excellent work.
