VANLIFE | FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT Style Tiny Home DIY Campervan Conversion for Van Dwelling - Full Time

[@tomboooty]

This van is freaking amazing. I really find it hard to believe that he has never done something like this before. Superb work. I especially like the part at the 10 minute mark where the dog is scooting his butt on the carpet. 😀

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you. Classic shot.

[@rajender13]

He's like-won't pay attention to me? 😏 Imma rub my poo poo on your lovely carpet 😕 😁😁🤣

Still giggling over the dog, epic! Oh yeah, the vans great too lol

[@guywhogoes1226]

Thanks so much! Harry (my dog) is the real star of the show :-)

[@tomboooty]

@@guywhogoes1226 Au contraire Mont Freire. You, and your amazing van, are the stars of the show. Harry is an extra. But an important one for sure. I really like that you said anyone can do this several times. Very inspiring.

[@KatyInNH]

This is a professional organizer’s dream design! Everything is exactly where used and everything has a place. I love how the electrical and systems are placed. I love how everything is so easily accessed from inside. Very well designed both from a practical and aesthetic standpoint. I love the dog and how well he is cared for and an integral part of life!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you so much!

[@guywhogoes1226]

Connor here. Thank you so much! That's such a great compliment :-)

[@dianac7002]

I've been watching van build videos for 7 years, and this is my favorite one. It is well thought out and extremely pleasing to the eye. I'm so impressed that he built this without previous experience in the building trades. Well done! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Wow, thank you!

[@guywhogoes1226]

Connor here. That's amazing to say! thank you!

[@gailblanton]

That is most important to us as well the protection & safety of our fur baby, Smitty. He is absolutely the joy of our life. Even when we take him for a ride anyplace in any vehicle he wears a harness and is then strapped into the car seat belt system. 1 he doesn't get hurt hopefully by being thrown around inside of the vehicle. 2 he doesn't get loose in traffic if involved in an accident & possibly cause another accident. Dogs loose in a car can cause a problem with distraction to the drivers attention. Van is really well thought out and put together. After the 1st week or so using it full time, did you think of anything you wanted or could have added or did add. I believe that using it would be the best test to see if you missed anything. Good luck with selling. Bummer part is instead of buying from you someone might try to build their own. But hopefully there are more people that would just want someone else to do the work. Have a GREAT journey and make memories!

[@TerryW5379]

Right when I think I’ve seen it all this van build comes along. The way he designed the space makes it look huge. The foldable bike idea was genius. That refrigerator/freezer is the way to go with the spaciousness of it. The lay in work tuned out great. He definitely underestimates himself and the talent he has. Not many would take a class to learn electronics and actually comprehend the material. He could start his own company and be busy for many years, if so desired. Patrick I don’t know how you continue to find talented people like this, but happy that you do.

This is the best van built I ever saw on KZbin. It’s absolutely amazing. He must be very smart and patient to learn and figure out all the systems and design. I’ll definitely uses lot of his ideas when I’m ready to build my own. Patrick, you are a great interviewer, you don’t ever interrupt and let your guests speak in their pace.

[@jeannerountree952]

I loved the dog he actually made the video very fun he acts like a cat. This is one of the best van videos I’ve seen in a while. It’s awesome to see how everyone makes their van specific to their own needs. The one thing that’s missing for me would be a specific shower. I know he mentioned something about having some shower items he didn’t go into any detail. I love his attention to detail with his in lei patterns and that he didn’t paint any of his wood. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you 😊

[@stugryffin3619]

This guy is awesome. I love his attitude and energy. Would love to hear more about the engineering he talks about to secure the stained glassed window to prevent breaking in transit.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you very much. Good question.

[@guywhogoes1226]

Connor here! Yeah, the stain glass was hard to secure. I ended up building a frame that holds the stainless via these soft rubberized pads (if you look close you can see them in each corner of the stain glass. That whole frame has LED backlighting and is actually pushed 2" into the wall. The pads absorb vibration and bumps to prevent the glass from shattering. Then, to make it look nice, I hid the frame under the white matting and surrounded it with the cherry picture frame for the finished look. The real secret is that it's two frames in one--one structural, and one for looks ;-)

[@stugryffin3619]

@@guywhogoes1226 YES. I have been thinking about a similar application and your approach aligns perfectly with what I had imagined. Thanks very much for spending time speaking to this Connor. You're a great lad.

He did a great job for learning as he goes. I feel like for the most part diy and being new at this is a set back. But not that much yeah it takes longer because of lack of experience but the end result tend to be great and I haven't seen a video on here where the builder wasn't proud of what they did. I mean even the pro builders for van life or rv whatever mess up. A few being big channels here on youtube have poor opinions or over generalize best building practices. But this dude did an awesome job. I can't wait to maybe one day share my rv when it's done. But till then I'll keep watching and taking mental notes.
