Van Tour of Step Van Camper Conversion

[@williamedwards3296]

Thanks for making this video. I have been flip-flopping back and forth between getting a bus or regular van for a while now. I really wanted to be able to stand up in whatever I got. At the same time, I guess you could say I don't see any kind of a future at my job. Actually, the less of a future the better. A clearness happened when I watched this video. I need a bread truck man!! I have spent the majority of my life on tour. Staying in one place just doesn't work for me. I was on the technical crew, not the "talent", so a lot of small motel rooms and crashing on the buses. I am highly confident in my ability to live small. Hell yeah man, this has stirred the fire under my ass. Thanks

[@LivingZEAL]

That's so awesome, William! Well congrats on choosing this lifestyle and deciding which way to go... we will be encouraging you every step of the way! Living small for life!!!

[@rowandax6189]

Right on, step van is my first choice for conversion to nomad life. But you would have been better with first installing reflectix and then insulation on top of that. Hot climates reflectix makes a huge difference when installed properly. Good vid and glad you found some love.

[@LivingZEAL]

Haha thanks for your comment man!

[@rowandax6189]

As a side note Reflectix is not an insulator. It reflects heat and that's it. If you're planning to be in colder climates please think of proper insulation for your rig. But as before it's not a bad idea to "start" your insulation with reflectix as it's thin and since most nomads wander to and from warm climates it's a good first step. I hope this clarification helps some folk. Proper installation is key though. So do it right, do it once.

[@LivingZEAL]

Excellent info. Thank you!

[@monicawaters45]

This video of your journey has bought tears to my eyes😊 Thank you share being you*

[@marxnutz]

I have seen the cab of my van get as high as 126 degrees! I found some scrap pieces of 2" thick polyiso boards that I lined every space along the walls and ceiling of the cab that I could and it made quite a difference.

[@oafyvonskidmark316]

I put a bed and van seat with counter etc in my Grumman Kurbmaster, I registered it as an RV not commercial registration which had the DOT pull me over several times when they thought it had to be commercially registered, it wasn't easy but persistence succeeded, it has to have a bed and seats and DMV did it. I had a generator on a hitch mounted platform that powered a 1 ton AC unit that worked great! A fireplace will kill you quickly in that thing unless the door is open!

[@billhamilton2366]

Yes everything I see in your conversion looks as though it was slapped together as if you had never used a saw and screws before. What a maroon.

[@jonnupe1645]

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's helps me a lot with inspiration and motivation, I hope you keep living life to the fullest.

[@garcher2]

Awesome layout and design conversion. Well thought out. Looking forward to your next conversion..

[@LivingZEAL]

Thanks for watching this one! The Hawaii van conversion will be much smaller so we probably won't be able to get as creative with the space, but this is a great one to build ideas off of!

[@HELLAARTSYDUDE]

Hello 👋 !!! I just started getting serious with my channel a little over a month ago , after I bought my Step Van !!! That is a cool build you had going there !!! 👍👍👍

[@superbmediacontentcreator]

Never drill holes in a roof unless you use marine products to seal. To hold up the ceiling all you needed were self-tapping screws and upholstery caps to cover them or predrill the wood with recesses and then use wood plugs and sand the holes as a real woodworker.

[@LivingZEAL]

...thanks?...

[@dannyboyd1299]

Right that's what roofers use lol

[@Q66BBQ]

This is the exact model/size van I'm starting on!

[@mackdickerson9322]

Excellent design Chad. Totally understand van not being completed. Zaynah could launch a 1000 ships. Thanks for the share. Namaste.

[@ESLinsider]

That looks like a 2003 P42. Those are cool been looking for an old USPS van like that. Still running? How reliable has that been for you? How many miles does it have now?

[@kaitensaw5992]

Hey Chad that's a very nice man cave bro!! But I can see why you gave that up. She is incredibly beautiful. Totally worth giving up the solo single life for her. You both look perfect couple. Only couple things I like more on your man cave than the school bus. 1. It has a shower area. That made your home complete that you don't need to use other facilities to wash up. 2. It is way more stealthy than the school bus. Your other videos mentioned you have been visited by police many times.... well, school bus is not one for stealthy boondocking. However, you are one lucky Chad, she is gorgeous!

[@LivingZEAL]

Thank you so much for your kind words :) We are working on getting a new shower/bath situation fixed in our bus... so stay tuned!

[@quasarkneepro7758]

Love people with no construction experience posting videos .....the floor is always last

[@LivingZEAL]

You are so incredibly rude. We have stated we don’t have any construction experience. We have stated this was our first ever build. We didn’t have the finances to employ a whole crew of knowledgeable people to make this build perfect. You do the best you can & you learn as you go. That’s the point of this build.

[@Jeff-p8t1s]

The floor itself is 1st! The floor covering is last. When you think you know everything..you prove you know nothing. Just saying...

[@ESLinsider]

That's cool how tall is that ceiling?

[@realpeopleoftheinternet]

Wow... great job

[@LivingZEAL]

It was the first conversion project, so lots of little things that didn't quite work. Still so glad with the outcome! thanks for your comment! :)

[@DznByLimbo]

The way I'm attaching the ceiling......... to the ceiling.... Haha. Nice video!

[@LivingZEAL]

Thanks for watching, friend! :)

[@AMentorway4u]

Every journey begins with the first step. Life is one long learning curve. But who cares, life is short , live large. Good Companionship is the best addition a person could ever ask for. There is ways lots of advice floating around but action is what most lack. You dream and you follow that dream. Ride it out like the Big Beautify wave life is. There is Beauty all around us if you know.where to look. Live Life Large. Have a Blast and make great Memories peace.

[@the.DiamondDior]

What kind of van was that? That's exactly the kind of space I'm looking for!

[@LivingZEAL]

It's a retired USPS Step Van! :) Super great space, and incredible security. Bought it for $6,000 with 200K on it! Best of luck to you on your search!

[@LazyFoxLore]

Do the swamp coolers work all year round? How well does it work compared to normal AC

[@LivingZEAL]

We use it just in the summer months and only when we're in dry states like Colorado. It only uses 200W rather than thousands for an AC. If you're going to be hooked on to shore power you won't have any issues with AC though!

[@rebeccatreeseed410]

Swamp cooler only works in low humidity.

[@GONEWILDFILMS]

Can you make a video of the registration process from a commercial vehicle to an recreational vehicle ??? How did it go with the insurance company, did you end up with rv or commercial insurance ??? Thanks for sharing.

[@LivingZEAL]

We do actually have a video about that. Just scroll through all vides and you should see it!

[@logicalamerican]

Dope house. Must be weird to sell something you put your heart into. Enjoy the next one.

Drilling holes in the roof was a big-time rookie mistake!!

[@maryproveaux9200]

And the real, non-rookie way to do it would be?

[@jyarf]

@@maryproveaux9200 I would have tried to fasten it to the metal with self tapping screws personally. But I've not done this yet so who knows.

[@maryproveaux9200]

@@jyarf That sounds like a better way. No one wants a leaky roof! Her videos were awesome but stopped suddenly.

[@davemcdonald8790]

@@jyarf I thought the same thing

[@combatible]

great video

[@And1Mell]

I have the same fibreglass roof on my Stepvan, I took utmost care to drill as little as possible into the it.n I added a support structures for my two deck hatches and the solar entry plate. I added a roof rack for my solar panels and bolted it to the cross members with sealing spacers blocks. I added a catwalk in between the roof rack for access, all so I don't put any stress on the fibreglass since it is not structural. Seeing you drill all those holes to hang the ceiling from the fibreglass roof made me cringe.

[@LivingZEAL]

Lol, that was a lesson learned, I went back up on the roof 2 more times to seal around all the bolts. When it was finished, it made it through snow storms with no leaks. :) I agree tho, cringe worthy. Lucky the bus has been much better, probably because I had the van under my belt. Thanks for the comment!

[@k.g1686]

Would you guys put an actual shower in your bus?

[@LivingZEAL]

Yes! We have a little shower in the bus, it's nothing too special but it works great for us! We can both get clean with about 5gallons (including washing hair lol)

[@kylebrown6951]

I'll say you've got some great ideas there --- but--- you probably should've laid out your floor plan first and tweekd it as you went along and maybe you would'nt have had to go back to fix things so much but in all looks good and it's all lessons learned but good video and it has inspired me to try n go step van next instead of just a cargo van Thanks

[@LivingZEAL]

Agree completely -- it was the first conversion/construction project ever really taken on so there is a lot to learn from here! Thanks for commenting and watching, Kyle

[@mrmajestic8643]

Very cool...

[@LivingZEAL]

Sorry about the poor cellphone video quality, but glad you liked this video!!

[@southernrebel159]

Kool, I was wondering if y'all had a video of the van conversion. Thanks for showing it, and I'm sure it'll be a great guide to someone. Y'all are just awesome! Oh, and yesterday after church they had dinner in the fellowship hall. It was a chili dinner with all kinds of homemade chili. I asked our Sunday School teacher if he knew which one didn't have pork (as i think y'all know I don't eat pork any more). He said he'd find out, but informed me that his wife made vegan chili (yes, she's one of your people, lol), so I told him I'd try it. Now being from Texas, I can't really call it chili if it doesn't have some kind of neat. So I call it chili flakes stew, lol. But, I have to say it was delicious. And as I was eating it, I was thinking about y'all lol. Anywho, thanks for the video, take care and YHVH bless y'all.

[@LivingZEAL]

Vegan chili?!?!?! That sounds amazing! It's pretty cold here right now, I wish we had some to eat right now lol. Add some tofu in there and then you've got some high class vegan chili ;)

[@southernrebel159]

+Living ZEAL Lol

[@johnransom1146]

Piercing the ceiling all over for bolts is going to get you

[@LivingZEAL]

Yeah we have since sold the conversion to someone with a bit more expertise that was able to take care of that. Definitely not the best idea! But we were learning with this one...

[@JaneDoe-c]

@@LivingZEAL Hi there. I'm considering different vehicles to potentially build out. A guy who lives in a step van said in one video that aluminum is resistant to WiFi signals. Did you have any trouble using your devices/connecting and maintaining a connection to WiFi? Connectivity will be important to me living in a van.

[@arcticvanilla2603]

Holes won’t hurt anything, silicone and you’re g2g

[@hollywestell797]

What kind of weather do you have in your location? I am thinking of converting a van/bus when I retire, but I live in Canada, so I would need to insulate whatever I decide on, fairly well!

[@LivingZEAL]

We live in Colorado, so insulation is huge! Especially in the dead of winter ;) Best of luck to you on your conversion, Holly!

[@CMCrockett]

Was this a 10' box?

[@anythingmotors9781]

What did you do with the step van?

[@LivingZEAL]

Sold it to a gentleman that turned it into a food truck!

[@dagrind8710]

What did/ does insurance cost?

[@DougFenrich]

hold on, what kind of stove is that??

[@LivingZEAL]

Camper Stove, there is a link to amazon in our description box that gives the full details on it if you're interested!

[@CDean-qn1iy]

Did I see a sims game in your van?

[@LivingZEAL]

Hmmmm... very possible haha I can't remember

[@lrlapua8035]

I worked helping a friend who had a RV business, drilling the holes in roof was a mistake.....it will leak and you will never know it until a lot of damage has happened...seen it many times even on RV's less than a year old....

[@LivingZEAL]

Haha yeah after a liberal application of weather proofing sealant on the solar panel/ceiling, all leaks were final stopped! I've since sold this vehicle, and sincerely hope the new owner hasn't had any issues with that since... definitely not something I would do again. Thank for the comment, friend!

[@LivingZEAL]

This is for you Emily Sweeney :)

[@emsween1]

awww you guys are the best, thanks for doing this one!! very cool! do you remember the dimensions of the interior? we've asked a few people about the window thing you guys mentioned and from what we were told if you can't fit windows in between the beams then structural beams can be cut and fabricated into a window frame to allow more support for around your windows. we have someone that can help us with that because it sounds a little complicated but we're not too concerned with that aspect. what we you saying about the steel plate walls you couldn't anchor 2x4s to though that seems like it could potentially be a big problem!

[@LivingZEAL]

Definitely! We started looking back through all of the van footage to after you mentioned you guys were interested in this... hopefully this is helpful! As for the 2x4 anchoring issue... Chad says he totally could have done that but it would have taken a lot more work haha. By that we mean, you would have to drill holes through the steel beams, buy special bolts to secure the wood to the steel frames, and repeat this multiple times on each wall. In the end, the steel beam near the cabin door was just a more simple way to go about it while still maintaining the structural integrity. Completely doable for you guys though to do it the proper way. And, the interior space was 7X11 :)

[@emsween1]

ah okay, makes sense! thanks again for sharing another awesome project you did. we seriously love this community even though we aren't a real part of it yet...but hopefully soon!

[@LivingZEAL]

lol we didn't bolt the insulation. you're an idiot and I take a great deal of pride and joy in deleting every hateful ignorant comment you ever left and blocking you from the channel.

[@royromano9792]

You're style of language is interesting.

[@LivingZEAL]

he's quite the fellow.. haha Chad never intended on making a youtube video on this footage, it was initially all just random cellphone footage for his parents haha so bare with us!

[@quasarkneepro7758]

One of the biggest problems with RVs is roof leaks ...you just made it worse !!!

[@aquiferjunkie4413]

I feel like you would have made a better choice buying a box truck. My purpose for a step van is for direct access to the cab. Seeing your bed blocking the door drove me nuts lol. Not to mention the cable management. I couldn’t live in that thing.

[@kroom7k536]

They make metal track that you put between each piece of foam insulation that you screw the backs off and can then screw your ceiling to. Helps avoid putting huge holes in your roof and gives you a nice layout to screw to. It's mostly used in commercial insulating..goo.gl/images/MpwTtb

[@LivingZEAL]

Oh awesome! I ended up selling this step van a few months back when my fiance and I decided to move into the school bus for a bit more space. I wish I would have known about this then, thank you for commenting and suggesting this!

[@kroom7k536]

Living ZEAL not a problem at all. I find it fascinating watching these videos that people with little to no carpentry background can do such amazing work. I've been a carpenter a long time so any suggestion i have that might help someone else out isn't a problem at all

[@joblessalex]

If only it'd go fast enough on the freeway!

[@LivingZEAL]

No kidding!

[@joblessalex]

Living ZEAL If you get any good ideas, let me know. Mines getting 12mpg city and like 9 hwy lol

[@joblessalex]

Ha Ha. So much bachelor. 😁 No more kicking amp and subwoofer and I don't think I've seen those nasty pies on the Living Zeal bus either! Your body will thank you for eating better food! Enjoyed this prequel, thanks for uploading it. Did any of the parts get reused for Living Zeal? Tell Zaynah get well soon. Take care Chad.

[@LivingZEAL]

Zaynah here--- yes we eat much healthier on the livingZEAL bus :) and I'm feeling much better, thank you! Also, congrats on the new bed! We didn't reuse any of the parts for our bus, we ended up selling it as is.. not sure what it's become now haha.

[@Mevi]

Well whoever got it, had everything done for them aside from windows which not everyone wants anyway. I hope that they are out exploring the wilderness and doing good deeds for the elderly or something. 😃 Did Chad have a separate KZbin channel before? I'm not a saint when it comes to food, but good food can heal your mind and your body too. Glad you're feeling better!

[@thedrummersclub3667]

What is this?

[@LivingZEAL]

A super old video from before we were living zeal showing my step van conversion with bad cell phone footage...

[@jannezack]

Wow, that was a hot mess. I get it, you rig it till you get it. I want to see the bus. Hope SHE added some logic to the new build.

[@LivingZEAL]

This was my first time attempting anything like this... so it definitely ended up being far from perfect. My fiance definitely had some inspired ideas for the bus build that made it work better, but by the time we started on that build, I also had the experience from the van build to grow upon.

[@jannezack]

I found the bus video and YES! ! ! It was amazing! I really admire you for your adventurous spirit and commend your wife for being a team player! Happy travels!

[@GRAMMIEDEBI]

Looks like you did a great job. That's a lot of work. I have to say the Hawaii announcement threw me for a loop but I wish you two well. I'm just not sure you realize what that drastic an increase in the cost of living will mean for you. Do you have friends or family in Hawaii? I'm not trying to put a damper on your news. I'm just a worried Grammie. 🙂🚐💗

[@LivingZEAL]

Hawaii won't be happening right away, we still have several adventures to go on before we head out there... but it's an idea we've been toying with for awhile and finally decided to just go for it. It's always seemed like a pipe dream.. but as the old cliche goes we only live once, so why not go big?! Also, Chad lived in Maui for a year so he is familiar with the cost of living... we've lived in Boulder, CO (one of the most expensive cities in CO) & in D.C. so we're super familiar with high costs of living. We do have some friends there too :)

[@patrickjones6400]

I’d like to give you a thumbs up but watching this video was painful. Really painful. The close up shots made it difficult, no impossible, to understand anything about what you were describing in relationship to what’s around it or next to it for that matter. And the shaking, the entire video is like looking through a shaking microscope. Every shot is close up and moving. Yeah, painful.

[@Jeff-p8t1s]

I can't believe you drilled into the roof! Everything you did after that was a waste of time!!!

[@garylanders1470]

Sorry but bolting through the fiberglass was absolutely ridiculous. You have the steel ribs to tie into and if you needed the mounting points closer together then you should have screwed strapping from front to back across the ribs as needed. Bad mistake.

[@ianwilliams1680]

After years of sun , cold, rain repeat those holes in your roof will prove very problematic. For those using this for instruction - DO NOT DO THIS!

[@ianwilliams1680]

I like the shower design

[@curlaque]

I really wanted to watch this whole video but you filmed so close and moved so fast it was making me dizzy and it was hard to actually see what you were talking about. I think it would be better with a tripod for the camera and that way it would actually show the whole picture. Just a suggestion.

[@LivingZEAL]

Hey there! I'm sorry about that! This video was made from a bunch of random cellphone footage that we pieced together. It was never intended to be a youtube video, if it were we would've shot the whole thing completely differently like the rest of our videos. Sorry it made you dizzy! Thanks for commenting though~

[@saradanser894]

The video was so shaky, darting around, that I literally got lightheaded.. and then threw up! 🤢😐 Hope you have a safe future, full of fun adventures, and fulfill your purpose in life. I don't know anything about videography, but if you can find a way to stabilize future videos, then I'd check them out

[@LivingZEAL]

Hey there thanks for your comment. Sorry the footage made you feel ill... we said at the beginning of the video that this was old cellphone footage.. so it's unlike the rest of our content. Hopefully you'll stick around to check out some tripod stable stuff. Best to you, Sara.

[@lass-inangeles7564]

0:55 - All your tools are obsolete and the worst quality and many you will not use. This is Ryobi - which is cheap crap. And 18V not 20V. Not every manufacturer makes every good tool. Some should be Dewalt 20 such as the 887 Driver and 885 Drill with Milwaukee Titanium drill bits for metal and wood. For an angle Grinder, the Bosch 5" refurbished is $79 on Amazon, comes with a paddle switch, Keep On switch, variable speed, and a removable handle for left handers. One of the best I found. Table saw is Dewalt corded. Random Orbit small round sander is Dewalt. This has velcro tabs for sand paper. Better than Makita or any Palm Sander. These tools are the most useful in any build. Another good one is the Dremel MultiMax 45 with quick release - its the only flush cut blade available anywhere. If you need a tiny angle grinder, the Dremel Saw Max will fit the bill, for detail work. Dewalt Corded (I think) Plunge Router is also very good. So take this lot of cheap junk back and buy my list above. You will not be disappointed. Never buy a whole set of tools at the outset from the same company! Buy as you need them, and do your homework. Buying tools involves massive research. Big investment of time and money, and they either bring you joy or curses. 2:13 - That clear sealant is silicone. The worst product you could use on your roof or anywhere on an RV. What you want is called DAP Lap Sealant and is a rubber compound not silicone. All these trade skill projects like roofing, sealing, tiling, etc are all very precise and technical. Wrong sealant or caulk on any project means a complete removal and redo. You cannot use this sealant on your roof, it will come right off with the UV rays and weathering. Silicone is excellent for glass repairs and gluing aquarium panels together, but NEVER the roof or exteriors like window outside trim. You use butyl tape and DAP Lap Sealant only. And as for the bolts you drove through the roof - so many issues here I cannot even begin to start. Rust due to not painting the metal holes first. Water leakage. No hold through foam. Bumpy roof with wind drag and tripping hazard. Oh boy! 3:11 - You put aromatic red cedar above your bedroom? Excessive exposure to the oils can be a lung and eye irritant and give you asthma. Any animals exposed to this will be miserable and sick, as their sense of smell is so much stronger, poor little cat! This was a very amateur mistake. There is a reason why you only use it in closets. Moths don't like it, as it causes them damage. 10:02 - where is the waterproof membrane under your bath tile? Did you use polymer in the mortar and grout to prevent cracking? Hold that camera steady. Get a gimball and tripod. Makes viewer seasick. Decide what you want to show, then show it. All we get is a series of images flashing haphazardly on screen. Get a proper microphone, your audio track is as shaky as the camera. Goes from too loud to too soft repeatedly. 15:20 - the Memory foam mattress - most expensive and the worst for your back. A hard mattress is what keeps your spine aligned. You have a lot to learn dude. Learn before you teach. Do a proper van build and film it better.

[@niedtvantoepazzing1517]

I think its better to apply 'insulation' OUTSIDE steel/metal frames instead of INSIDE. As an example, glue/kit styrofoam board (nanowood would be even better insulation I think) to the OUTSIDE of the frame, and screw/glue/kit THIN wood (wood also get strong insulating capacity) to the inside of the frame, this way one would most probably get some more space for wiring behind the wood AND SUPER insulation, I'm practically sure MUCH BETTER insulation than in case of insulating inside of the frame. Of course, when applying insulation to the OUTSIDE, don't forget to cover with e.g. FLEXIBLE epoxy like stuff, lightweight and rubberlike so water/hail/wind won't likely damage insulation; www.isothane.com/prod/blocked-prepolymer-range (i'm not paid to advertise this product, just sharing example).
