VANTOUR | Two Canadians converted a Ford E-150 to travel their country

Two Canadians converted their 2002 Ford E-150 into a rolling Home to travel Canada.
-- The Story:
Hello! Our names are Clayton and Alyssa from Beautiful British Columbia, Canada. We have been together for 2 years, we have done a lot of travelling together, we love hiking and being outside. We decided to convert a van to explore our beautiful country effortlessly, and work on a fun project creating something of our own. It is so rewarding knowing we personally build everything inside the van. We purchased a 2002 Ford E-150 simply because they are very spacious inside. We went for a boho, cozy theme and couldn’t be happier the way it turned out. Right now we use it every weekend just exploring our backyard, but soon we would love to do a bunch of big road trips! 🤙🏻

One of my favorite vans! Something I particularly love, is how you incorporated the white van with the wood interior by blending some of the wood with a white-wash finish. This really ties beautifully with the exterior color and brings harmony and balance by allowing the natural wood colors to invite the eye inside, rather than over power. I mean, I love many all-wood interiors also, but your design is simply pleasing all away around. Very well-thought out. Thank you both so much for sharing!

[@jennylinn620]

Thanks for sharing this great build! The van is perfect, cozy, and well put together! Y'all are such a handsomely, beautiful couple! What an awesome way to make make memories with the one you love! Best wishes on your exciting adventures, and best wishes on many, many wonderful years to share them together! God bless. Love n hugs, J'Linn

[@kriskjellquist1758]

Like the fixed bed setup. We did the same basic layout in our E150. If anyone is curious, if you keep your walls thin someone 6' or less can sleep sideways in the Ford's. It's especially do-able if you're a side sleeper with a little 'bend'.

[@nonnoinsandiego8303]

Nicely done! So warm, homey, and inviting. While you both seem tall, you manage to make the height limitation work for you. Safe and happy travels.

[@dinorahdarby4499]

I like the natural feel of the interior. Those mirrors are the bomb!

[@caliemm2159]

It's cute. It's clean, nice having a handy person

[@WhiteThunder78]

I have a 1990 Ford E 150. Nice job on your build 💯

[@cybeer67]

Thanks for sharing ! Your pictures are in my PC wallpaper. LOL I'm currently in the process of converting my van and this is one of the most cozy designs I've seen. Thank you.

[@r.d.ontheroad-1094]

Love it, especially you two working together to do it! Enjoy, some great ideas. You are blessed to have a partner. Awesome job, enjoy! I just downsized from a 32 ft. Class A, so I can get back off the road more! Thanks,

[@sherrymuzykazekestravels6793]

It’s is absolutely beautiful! Great job you guys ❤️

[@mobilehomelife4028]

I am always amazed at how efficient small spaces can be utilized. I was initially on the hunt for a van pretty much like you have, but the small bus I have right now I’m converting came up for sale for the right price and I just could not pass it up. And if I ever rebuild I will probably downsize to a van.

[@kenhoyer8601]

Looks real nice. Never see the need for a sink though, takes up too much room. I have a Econoline build and I put my 6 gal jug wedged next to the side door with a 12'' hose to let the water drain onto the ground or into a bucket or dishpan.

[@margiesvanmori]

LOVE your build. So freaking cute! I am building out my van this year to travel and I love how cozy and homey your van looks.

[@lusasilva4643]

Lovely and cozy

[@SeauT]

Well done you two. Many blessings.

[@davidcook4623]

Well done. Thanks!

[@ivam0513]

Awesome work. Safe travels! 😎👍🏻

[@debracottrill7989]

Love your Van and your lovely attitude. This is my dream, you give it life. Many blessings. 💚♑

[@skeatchels6938]

Looks Very Cute. Love your work you two

[@spellerlittlewing]

Great work folks

[@janneal9156]

Oh yes very cosy and homely shame you can't stand up maybe a popup roof ......ideas are gorgeous with your ideas and maybe a million dollars you could create. Can with a toot and shower I live vans but you need to be able to stand up......happy travelling stay safe.....🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@denisekuenzel9465]

@JanNeal I own an E350 Extended and thought about getting a tall one but I like being able to fit in any parking garage. I’ll save standing height for RV or converted cargo trailer.

[@johnboy488]

Way to go guys 👍

[@bigtomsvan4817]

YEAH 😊

[@sophanarachay4917]

Beautiful couple and their van seems like a cozy nest.

[@leilal8053]

I bought the same water 💧 pump, aren't they great?!?..... simple and easy 2use......can't stand those stupid hand pumps.....Cassette toilet is a must 4me though.

[@b0884]

Wow this is a great van for road trips

[@garycordle5295]

Nicely done ✅👍 be safe and enjoy yourselves.

[@joanncarrillo7354]

Newfoundland is too cold for van life 💞 nice job

[@thingsweforgottosay363]

Love the song you chose for the intro.

[@lesrecettesdesidy4246]

Wooow great video 🙂👏🏼

[@vanlifenomadfirekeeper]

Nice job on the van. I just finished insulating my E250. Start on panaling in a couple of days. Hope to be finished by the end of September. Happy trails (-:

[@LisaSoulLevelHealing]

[@amandaladerer5618]

[@fernandocardenasfilms6861]

Muy hermosa esa linda clásica es lo máximo

[@ballsmile2235]

WOW~~🤗👍최고입니다 . 정말이쁜 캠핑카 🚐 👍👍👍👍👍

[@mikefranks4528]

You guys are two peas in a pod. So fated to be together. :)

[@jalexb915]

You mean two peas in a van?

[@sharonhorton5512]

Very nice

[@BushcraftNFun]

What do you do for cooking in the winter, during bug season or inclimate weather? Do you bring it all inside?

[@tommyo321]

Love it. Thanks. I was curious about your stencil on the side of the van, where did you get it?

[@task_master6115]

I know this is an old comment but I would be happy to make you a decal like that of any size. My shop email is [e-mail] :)

[@crankyrebate8161]

Clay looks a little tall for that bed

[@camponwheels4088]

Nice build....celling is attractive...What color of stain is that?

[@crystalwhitmorewhitmore3239]

I was looking for the water pump you have here. I can only find ones that directly screw onto a 5 gallon jug. How did you guys do it? We are in the process of building our Ford e150

[@margoburns9085]

Great build! Where are you guys from?

[@carolineannie7223]

how do you secure the water spiket to the counter? im doing a similar build

[@MapleMarmite]

Nice build - looks good. Which engine does your van have? I’m wondering if the 6cyl is much more economical than the V8. Also do you have a link for that rechargeable tap you have - looks neat. 👍🏻

[@jalexb915]

Get a V8. More power, and not much worse on MPG. Plus it should last longer since it doesn't have to be overworked like a V6

[@212caboose]

where did you get that battery powered faucet?

[@missanthropic4715]

How do you cook in the rain?

[@alexanderorban8971]

Where are you gonna take a RWD van in winter in Canada?

[@asianbelony7761]

What size is your guys’ bed??

[@vjhurstcreations5473]

Is interesting that they made the comment about the Econoline's being good on gas mileage...here in the states a similar van gets 13 mpg which is AWFUL...and thus this wonderful sized van is off my list....the build out is BEAUTIFUL...i love how simple, efficient and pretty it is...very nice thanks for sharing.

[@flowrob6861]

Some time MPG is Just part of the cost . Here sold walls means Commercial insurance rates $$ , newer vans got monthly $$ & higher insurance costs . Our gas $$ is less than monthly payments .

[@r.d.ontheroad-1094]

Gas mileage isn't everything!

[@SimiNelsonFamily]

My E350 gets 16-17 mpg on the highway. Not too bad. Nice video and a wonderful project to work on together. Happy trails.

[@vjhurstcreations5473]

@@flowrob6861 You are right about the trade offs for lower gas mileage...this pandemic makes small van life hard and those tradeoffs are looking like something I should just try to figure out...thanks for your comments and perrspective..

[@VikingVanMan]

What is the name of your water tap ??? On Amazon ? Can't find it .skål 🍺 🍺 🍺

[@denisekuenzel9465]

I’d like to know how to attach the wood panel to the door since it’s metal.

[@flowrob6861]

U can use smal size drill bit for starter hole . Once u have gone through wood panel & metal , small self tapping hex head will create the threaded hole. Pan head screws of same size will attach panel to doors . Use ArticKing duct foam with self adhesive to insulate inside door .

[@benjimiller1817]

Do you have to sleep sideways in your bed since you're so tall? My E250 won't fit me horizontally, I have to sleep sideways or diagonally

[@benjimiller1817]

Is that like a ‘yes’? Haha

[@arturoturrientesrequerey8918]

Saludos tengo una econoline igual que la del vídeo tiene las mismas ruedas y mi pregunta es como puedo poner los tapacubos por qué no consigo colocarlos si alguien sabe cómo se colocan agradecería me lo explicará muchas gracias

[@12barefoot]

yeah, shouldn't cost 150,000 to have a vanlife experience.

[@peterjoy931]

No heat? No cooling? No bathroom? No refridgerator? No shower? Vans aren't too wide so I coulding sleep in that short bed. The "table" needs a support or it won't last too long. I give this build a failing grade.

[@curtistaylor2247]

I know ur heads and feet are crammed when sleeping it's just half a foot to small when I had mine

[@reddog9884]

Had to give you a thumbs down ONLY because my name is Fred! #fatfreddyy! Nice build.

[@DIYTFY]

They look fake. Cool.

[@lisaswinson2102]

Nice
