Van Rebuild EP. 3 ~ gutting the van and tearing out the floor

[@Stasharenee]

So tape off the floor to gauge how the set will look before making final decisions.

[@TomWallace1937]

I’d take interior measurements, and draw out everything to scale. Also you might want to visit Mountain Made Ans in Salt Lake City for suggestions and Ideas as they seem to be very nice people connected to the site, Trent and Allie.

[@robynfedalen1777]

You’re doing great! 🩷✌🏻

[@gerry-p9x]

Add some wire and cable for. Rear back up camera and other stuff

[@robynfedalen1777]

You are amazing and I love your persistence and determination. I give you so much credit to start ripping your van apart and having a goal like that. I don’t think I would even think of doing something like that. Can’t wait to see how all of this turns out! So exciting!🩷✌🏻🔨🪛🔩

[@georgegooden3289]

Don’t forget to measure for the maximum bed length. Maybe 1/4 inch thick paneling direct to the metal frame would work at each end of the bed?

[@sapoverde65]

keep a roll of paper towels in your trunk and some hand wipes so you always have napkins.

[@danielhughes423]

Spice together and extend!

[@helene1779]

You’re doing an awesome job Samantha! 💕👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼

Looks like things are coming together nicely!! “Keep making memories & adventure on!” ~Karen & Shannon WOY

[@gonewiththekale]

I LOVE the idea of the bench/bed area, that will be brilliant!!✨❣ I'm so envious of you figuring out and understand your wiring. I've watched so many videos and I am still trying to understand how to begin😭

[@SamanthaROlmsted]

It’s literally so hard 😫 that’s why I don’t want to change mine 😂 it’s a lot of math to figure out wire size and such! I also had an electrical engineer friend look it over for me last time ❤️❤️ but stick with it!!

[@christineandpup]

Maybe put the closet some storage and a potty seat in the back. Then the single bed over wheel wells? 🎉🎉. Proud of you for keeping it up!

[@yellowboot6629]

Good job Sama🌹😚💞

[@Step-n-Wolf]

Hello Sam, still hope to catch back up again! Great job!

[@thomasmcquade5097]

Thanks for sharing your adventures I love the way you tackle the project. Oh bye the way you’re looking fantastic

[@MattWedelich]

Great video ❤

[@lastpme]

I’m am impressed how you are doing this build by yourself…looking forward to see how it turns out.

[@victoriadelbando3283]

Wow hard work! I’m proud of you Samantha❣️all on your own too❣️🥰🤗💗🌷🌺💕

[@SiSi-qy9dt]

wow! you're a woman with a plan and determination! ...and some serious power tools! :)

[@firequeen2194]

Congrats Sam! My van has to go to the great campground in the sky. 😢. I’m very sad but I got a cool hybrid SUV so I’m trying to figure out how much I can minimize to car camp. Should be awesome, I had 529 miles to empty when I left the car lot and 530 miles to empty when I pulled into my drive which was 17 miles away. Regenerative charging, no plug! Yay! 😘

[@SamanthaROlmsted]

Oh nooooo but yay for the new rig!

[@daveallison1888]

May buy a captain or princess bed put head behind drivers seat towards rear of van closet across back a cabinet from rear to small door on passenger side just a thought

[@SamanthaROlmsted]

I’ve also thought maybe doing this 😅😅 ugh so many options!! Because I could do a twin that pulls out to a bigger that way…

[@bigbearvenom6145]

Right on you did great got a lot accomplished you wore yourself out doing it and it does make for a successful day makes you feel good about yourself and have that positive feel about yourself with worthyness when you do this. When you go to bed later your going to sleep like a baby, when you awaken your going to get up, and hurt like he'll because you haven't used a lot of those muscles you've not used in a while !!! Bam ! Because your at peace now everything starts to harmonize...

[@assiahinarkansas]

You are doing great Sam! Can’t wait to see how this build goes 😊

[@sapoverde65]

Samantha the demolition machine ; hope you reseach materials and use lighter stuff ,it would improve gas milage.

[@SamanthaROlmsted]

Trying! I’m at the very least eliminating all those 2x2s and 2x4s and I might reuse the 2x2s for the bed frame and drawers under but 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ we’ll see lol

[@luckywarriorakabonnies.1855]

Samantha, did you check out your good friend Jaylena's new bed frame? It was simple, light and very stable. I'm seriously thinking about changing mine out like it to get rid of all the weight of the 2x4's and to give me even more storage under the bed. Also you're doing a great job with the demo and can't wait to see your new creations. As always sending vibes of Blessings and Love to you for your continued adventures on your journey through this life.

[@gailwalker5902]

Very proud of you for pushing on 👏🏻. Soon the thinking and most of your planning will be done then the fun part of buying and building then the fun part of decorating 💯‼️. So excited for you, your joy of a successful day could definitely be seen be today 😅. Keep on grinding for now 😀😎❤️

[@chantalduplessis7928]

You got this 💪👍

[@wilderjess]

I seriously think you look like you could be my cousin haha my family from CR and Deborah Iowa. hey you never know! excited for the rebuild!

[@SamanthaROlmsted]

You never know! I’m in 23&me 😂😂✌️

[@scottkrieger6386]

A serious suggestion I truly hope you look into and try, called AG1 just add it to water.❤😊 100 percent all natural.

[@SamanthaROlmsted]

I wouldn’t take anything that uses proprietary blends ❤️

[@lesleyhughes3174]

NZ made Sam and proven by info and sales to be the most natural.

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Research AG1 maybe Samantha? Speak with them? We have such strict rules here re food etc production. Unlike the US. ( China )

[@SamanthaROlmsted]

A proprietary blend is a proprietary blend ❤️❤️ it’s through research I’ve learned about this and wouldn’t use it.

[@doramather4729]

Sam, give jaylena a call she will give some advice, she did a great new bed frame.

[@wildbumbylee6731]

holy hannahleedugganz vibe

[@SamanthaROlmsted]

Always goals! ❤️❤️😂

[@ddmcse]

did you see the mouse jump and run out the door ?

[@SamanthaROlmsted]

The mouse left before I ever saw it! It’s a good thing I had taken all the food out when I did!

[@ronethridge9875]

Girl on a mission bad girls what you going do fixx it neat and nice yea thanks much 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@vickieandrews5709]

Samantha, why did you not do this s at Issac and Jaylena's. They could of walked you through the process. You are a smart young lady and I am sure you will figure it out.

[@SamanthaROlmsted]

Because I want to do it myself and don’t need someone to do it for me 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@tammycruz8189]

I LOVE U ❤️ 😍 💖 !!!! SING IT GIRLFRIEND...... LOL 😂. GOOD LUCK GORGEOUS 😍 😘 💕 💗

[@nelsonayala5933]

whats the height inside the van?

[@SamanthaROlmsted]

@@nelsonayala5933 I’m not sure but I’m 5’4” if that helps ❤️

[@SamanthaROlmsted]

I placed the fan right above where I stand to cook to give me a little extra inches and that has worked beautifully

[@debbieconway8242]

❤

[@scamphound1892]

I sleep on a twin mattress topper in my scamp. I’m 5’8”. And bigger than you 😅

[@outoftime788]

[@allencheck501]

Hey samantha, your really tearin it up,. Made good progress. I think your doing great, but your not using your biggest and best tool,, the professor and the professora the best in the bussiness isaac and jaylena im sure any question or idea you could bounce off of them with a text or short vid explaining what you want to do wiring, plumbing or moving something im sure they can save you a bunch of time and trial and error and th3 other plus , you can send a hi note or a picture to ember❤❤ keep up the great work sam, but use your own private library of information and how to' s just think back to the big bus i think that says it all wow! Keep going samantha well be watching good luck❤❤

[@ShamimJahuri]
