Van Tour | Ford Transit High Roof Extended

[@windsweptwhimsy]

This layout is near perfect for someone like me that is a solo traveler with a small dog. The shower is genius!

[@catherineb5066]

Nice lay out! Love the separation of cab & living area 💝 The shower pan is genius & the lounge space for pup🥰😍

[@llorylloyd]

Great job guys I really love this build. Simple yet has everything you need.

[@senseye25888]

it's mercilessly beautiful - a great solution for the shower. I am enthusiastic about the clarity of the design.

[@grannyonthego4893]

Love that sink!!!! Have you ever done a bathtub? Like ... really shallow that hides in the flooring?

[@memma22309]

Great job! Love the shower setup!!!

[@llorylloyd]

This is great.

[@vickiesweitzer8625]

Cool. How did you like building on such a large scale since you have focused on the tiny Transit Connects?

[@DVaccarelli1988]

They have worked on a full sized Transit before, which was a 2019 high roof, 148" wheelbase with the non extended body.

[@SmallVansBigWorld]

This is our 2nd high roof van we have converted. It’s a lot more fun because there are so many different ways to build a custom camper van and you can get really creative with it with all the extra space you have. The small van is fun as well, but very limited. We believe we came up with the best layout that is practical and a great use of space. From there we can tweak certain things to fit the clients’ needs.

[@jaronmollice7495]

Perfect!❤

[@DeborahLong7777]

Great job 👏. Love this layout. I don't know if I would want a shower inside but definitely outside! Transits are awesome .

[@SmallVansBigWorld]

We had an outdoor shower on our van, it worked great for us!

[@DeborahLong7777]

@@SmallVansBigWorld well there is only me and my fur babies. I have no problem with outside showers and being able to clean the pup's. I would think it would save more room and moisture control. I need to live in it.

[@TeutonicNordwind]

@@DeborahLong7777 Moisture control...that's why God made exhaust fans. We found outdoor showers in Jan and Feb weren't real great in most of the country. Also tended to draw gawkers if we happened to be in a campground. Glad we did both an indoor shower and outside sprayer for tasks on our second build

[@MamaKim.]

Fabulous! Shower design is excellent, just one question, could you store the shower curtain inside the shower pan? If you could and it had cord threaded through the top it would then be easy to put up.

[@MamaKim.]

Wild van did something similar to you. See video. They’ve got cord threaded through the curtain top but haven’t solved the problem of storage. I wouldn’t want to battle getting it into a bag! If the shower pan was deep enough to take it folded that would be ideal. Once it’s dry of course, needs to be a quick drying curtain. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIPLdHaCpZh2nM0

[@SmallVansBigWorld]

Yes, there is room inside the shower pan to store the shower curtain ☺️

[@onlyinparadise4613]

Nice job! 👏

[@alisonconley2168]

I’m curious as to how much this build (without the shower set up) would cost if I bought the van… don’t expect an exact price, just trying to get an idea of the build out cost for someone professional to do it instead of me… Thx

[@SmallVansBigWorld]

You're looking at $45k+ for labor and materials, price can vary alot depending on features and accessories you want.

[@cloepellerin]

Niceee! Whatever is the refrigerator model?

[@Bigmatt7]

Nice, though I would need a spot for my gaming rig and my chair. I would remove the shower and toilet as I wouldn't need it.

[@DLY0898]

The shower lip is very short from bottom to top. How do you make sure the water doesn’t leak over the lip?

[@SmallVansBigWorld]

Shower curtain

[@DVaccarelli1988]

What year is this van? Looking at the photos on your website, it looks to be a 2015-2017 model year. Is it a 250 or a 350? Also, did you know that Ford is discontinuing the Transit Connect after this model year?

[@SmallVansBigWorld]

I believe this van was a 2015, it’s the 250 wheelbase and extended. Based on what we have seen, it looks like Ford is discontinuing the FTC in the US after this year.

[@DVaccarelli1988]

@@SmallVansBigWorld The wheelbase is 148".

[@rjw6487]

Honest feedback: If this was a clients wish, you did what was asked for, but that client should have looked at more floorplans as this build is not really the best use of limited space imho.

[@unserhaus684]

that's not a small van, really.

[@SmallVansBigWorld]

No it’s not, it’s a ford transit high roof extended van.

[@michaelbadillo5520]

Awful design. Why would I want to go to the bathroom in front of someone else or see or smell some one else going to the bathroom?? Also having a bed constantly taking up room just shows no imagination in design. Why is it that American van builders just can't seem to build anything impressive like a Wingham? Having a bed drop down saves space. Also no real bathroom just sucks. Do better, fail.

[@SmallVansBigWorld]

Designed for a solo traveler. As professionals we do what the client wants to our best ability.

[@nathanielwoodbury2692]

Good lord its a great build! What does being American have anything to do with it? I don't think ethnicity plays a role in the build, we are all humans. But nevertheless the build he mentioned is for 1 person in the video. This is more than good enough!

[@TeutonicNordwind]

We're doing a build on a 159 wb extended and we decided long ago we don't want to F around with setting up or taking down a bed. We WANT a fixed bed position and NEED fixed storage space under the bed for many things! I'd rather use my imagination to imagine how I would torture and humiliate arrogant, negative a-holes that don't know anything but feel the need to criticize and reveal their tiny brain.

[@windsweptwhimsy]

This is a custom build. They built what the client wanted, not what you'd want. Personally, I dislike dedicated bathrooms and think they are a waste of space. I also would never want to faff about folding and contorting a bed, and I love the fixed bed that I built in my minivan camper.
