I love that you actually built everything yourself. So often I'll see videos titled diy van build and you find out the girls dad is a contractor that "helped". Please be safe and not too trusting. Young girls like you are always a target for creeps and the fact that you're attractive multiplies that. Beautiful build and pup

Wow - what a great video! I gotta say, you've done an outstanding job on your conversion. Everything seems pretty straight forward but I know most guys couldn't piece something together like that as you've done and that includes me! There is another aspect from your video that many of us can learn from and that is the minimalist lifestyle. Most of us have way too much junk! Thanks for sharing!!!

You gongirl💃👍❣️All a gal has to know is that she can. If she doesn’t know how she can learn, then do. I taught myself plumbing, electrical, carpentry, welding and a myriad other trades. If it’s doable I can do it. If I can’t lift it or turn it there’s always leverage at hand. It is a clever build and living with your first gave insight into necessary change functionality and aesthetically. GREAT JOB and I’m very envious of your van. Awesome find. 🥰💕👍

You took my entire mind and things I have been envisioning but have yet to execute. I'm in the planning, paper, pencil and research phase. The van builds on KZbin are great, but I'm on a budget.... but crafty and experimental. I just want comfortable, warm and completely equipped for a 3 month cross country drive . I can't thank you enough for this video. I will use this one as a template after 1 year off looking yours is the most practical - the solar. I'm thinking Jackery maybe because its just a freeing mind and soul tour. I won't be on a schedule. Thank you!!!!!

Hi Callie, your van build looks fantastic, looking from the detailed shots. I wish you can come up with a version with some zoom out shots, so we can see the details (cabinets, etc.) in context to over-all van lay-out. Anyway, I'm heading to your website :)
