VAN TOUR | Ford Econoline Transformed Into A Tiny Home for VAN LIFE

[@terrieh5457]

Nice simple build

[@lynnen264]

Your van is gorgeous I really like the wee wall by your bed, it defines the space. It would look great at the other side of your bed too Keep well

[@allisonsanders3384]

Love your build!

[@ByTheFireCreative]

@allisonsanders3384 thank you!

[@Alpha_Sigma01]

Fashionable/practical and efficient. Cool build! Cool🤟

[@raygongaware8647]

Your going to love the freedom of the choices you are making, Americans have no idea what true freedom is they are use to being slaves to the material world, I have done the same thing as you only with a Wife and two children, Seeing and living in the wonders of such a beautiful country far out weighs Material slavery. I wish you the best that life has to offer.

[@ByTheFireCreative]

That’s the goal, I’ve been trying to convert to a full minimalist and this build has help with that.

[@j.maxwell8764]

Your van build is fantastic! ❤❤❤ Love, love, love! The bed is genius. You were so good with your first build I can see you being a professional van customizer. I have seen soooo many videos of builds and your is amazing especially for your first build!!

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thank you so much!

[@frederick6008]

Nice and clean build. I tried 2 mattress toppers for about a year. Then i got a mattress from walmart $150. Wow! I'd rather sleep in my van than bed at home!

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Can’t agree more, I always have trouble falling asleep at home but when I’m in that van I sleep like a rock.

[@RoxVs.]

Nice build out. Like it’s simplicity.

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Simple is best! Glad you like it.

[@jamesbond4981]

Watching from the UK

[@ByTheFireCreative]

That’s awesome!

[@heffboys4368]

Seems so wholesome and chill

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thank you! That’s what I was going for!

[@heffboys4368]

I've been trying to turn my small suv into a camper I've been playing around with some ideas. Love watching this content tho 👌. I'm excited to see where it goes and to hopefully pull inspiration from it

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Good luck on your built, and thanks for the kind words

[@simpleme5719]

OMG,I love it..That's why I wanted a bigger van. I hope to see you in passing,I'm in SC too.😊

[@TheVideoGamHer]

Such a beautiful, simple build.

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thank you!

[@bobtailedtrucker2521]

Nice build! It's great to start fairly simple to understand what you need and how you use the space. The flooring was skipped, but it was a minor detail. Keep up the great work and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Cheers

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thanks! I realized after I had edited the video I completely forgot about the floor. It is just panel insulation, underneath plywood with m vinyl flooring on top of that.

[@WhiteThunder78]

I have a 1990 Ford E 150. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Sounds cool. Thank you

[@rickverble2607]

I really enjoy your videos

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thank you!

[@capaddler]

Nice build. 👍🏼. All the best on your adventures.

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thank you, hoping for the best adventures

[@gigielizabeth5636]

Very groovy love it !

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thank you!

[@karligonzalez5327]

Wow your van is soo nice. So much space, and it’s just so neat. I just love it. Hopefully by May of next year i’ll be full time car living.

[@ktk2094]

Safe travels.

[@dgcorozco]

DOUBLE SWINGING SIDE DOORS - I LIKE THAT (SEATTLE WA) 😀

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thanks! It lets me be extra dramatic when I open the doors.

[@journeywithnichole]

I love the build! Very nice!!

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thank you!

[@LateBloomer1111]

Love this clean, minimal build! Love the Native print everywhere as well!! Welcome to van life!! I'm apart of this dope community as well but I travel around in my bus named Peach and my lil people!

[@luvspin364]

Nice job on the van! Enjoyed your video thanks for posting.

[@Travisj535]

Great job book matching the grain on the drawers, I mean cabinet doors under the sink. Nice simple and functional build. I like that junk net concept. I think nets are such a great lightweight option to hold odd shaped chit.

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thank you! The net saved on room and money so I don’t have to worry about doors and stuff and have super easy access to my stuff.

[@donsaxon1948]

Love the background music !

[@NMWanderings]

Nice simple build. I would have done lots of insulation, and put the sink inside the left barn door for easy filling and dumping. And I definitely need a toilet. But those are just personal preferences and I have no actual experience at building yet. You did well!

[@EboniQ]

Your music is nice...keep it

[@SuzNbhollenberry]

Looks great!

[@bigtomsvan4817]

Good build. If you come thru Chattanooga Tn I will give you a 12 volt refrigerator

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thank you! I appreciate the offer but I have already bought the refrigerator and it should be here soon.

[@rebeccazuckman9059]

The State of Oregon is absolutely breath taking and the Winters a soooo mild compared to the East except hotter states abviosly.

[@DownTheRd]

Looks good man all the best on your journey.

[@peta2206]

i like simple build for pupose ..

[@johnbrandon8890]

The open part of your doors is some space you can use.

[@ByTheFireCreative]

I seen someone do that recently with their front two doors so I will probably utilize that space for stuff.

[@martna1]

Where is the potty?

[@DailyCakeSlice]

Love it! If you don't mind me asking, what do you think was the total you spent on the van and conversion?

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thank you! Of course. I bought the van itself for 2000 dollars. Then I put about around 1500 to 2000 into the build. I tried to keep it as minimal and inexpensive as possible while sticking to my original design.

[@emartin851]

Looking good, love the door fabric! Are you going full time van life?

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thank you! Yeah that’s my goal, I don’t know how long I am going to do full time van life but I want to travel as much as I can and experience things before I decided to settle down.

[@heatherfeather1293]

How does the fan do during hot weather? My biggest concern would be keeping my van as cool as possible. I live in Georgia so the heat here is RIDICULOUS

[@ByTheFireCreative]

It does really good, I have a seal that’s not fully secure on my back door. So when I have it set to pulling air out it pull the cooler air in. In the summer I had it pulling air in and I have a few extra fans that move the air around the van.

[@Carmen-ig6vg]

Imagine it's 2degrees and you gotta shit at 2am you digging a hole😂😂

[@inthekitchenwithnancy618]

Do you have holes in the board under your bed to keep down mold?

[@ByTheFireCreative]

I don’t right now, it is something I have considered.

[@CindyCaVANas]

Drop the music and I could watch it throughout. Otherwise, it's a very nice setup. Thanks for sharing!

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thanks for the comment, i will work on the volume but I am not getting rid of the background music as of now.

[@curious1366]

Are those Dometic water jugs made out of metal? Where did you get them?

[@ByTheFireCreative]

They are made of food grade LDPE, so I believe a food grade plastics material. I bought the black one at a store called rei and the blue one off Amazon.

[@curious1366]

@@ByTheFireCreative Thanks for letting me know. FYI-- I am trying to avoid plastics. So I won't buy those. The way you painted them, they look like metal!

[@eastside_king9892]

I have a question. Do You ever deal with your clothes that you store in the van changing colors like fading from heat or sunlight inside the van !? I'm having that issue right now.

[@ByTheFireCreative]

I don’t think I have paid any attention to it. I will have to look next time I store my clothes. If there is, most of my shirts are white so I should see some discoloration on those and I will let you know.

[@TConer_]

do you do this as a career?

[@ByTheFireCreative]

I do not, coming soon I will hopefully be full time in the van as a life choice over work. KZbin is just a wait to capture my journey.

[@comfortouch]

FYI for future videos, The background 'music' is annoying, too loud, and unnecessary.

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thanks for the comment, i will work on the volume but I am not getting rid of the background music as of now.

[@kimheil3386]

You definitely do not need the background music throughout your video. It’s annoying.

[@virginia_in_the_rearview]

I didn't even notice it until I read your comment.

[@Lisa-Snshinz]

Same!! It's just fine with the background music! You can hear him speak clearly! @@virginia_in_the_rearview

[@rebeccalitchfield6698]

I'm fine with it

[@lisaroth7526]

Funny. I was just thinking I really enjoyed the easy music.

[@celia-bts-armyrivera7170]

Theirs always that one guy🤦‍♀️

[@markeyosef1579]

Ugh. You have to put some Lame background music in your video.😳

[@ByTheFireCreative]

Thanks for the comment, i will work on the volume but I am not getting rid of the background music as of now.
