In this video I cover three preliminary steps to take before you start your van build. I share tips and tricks for deep cleaning built up dirt and grim, rust prevention on exposed metal and visualizing a layout before proceeding with the build.
Stay tuned for my next video where I will be cutting two holes in the roof of my van to install my MaxxAir Fans!

In the comments below, tell me what you couldn't live without in a van. For me I knew I wanted a toilet for convenience and a refrigerator so I could have fresh food on hand.
Thank you for being here :)

Your attention-to-detail is really coming across well in these videos. Even the effort you're putting into how the videos are being shot. Fast becoming one of my favourite van building channels 🙂

You are doing an awesome job! You are probably the first person doing van mods that I have seen take the time and effort to paint the bare metal of the freshly cut sheet metal to prevent future rust.

You have a new van at 23yrs old wow, obviously a very hard worker. No experience in executing a van conversion at all, in fact day 1 and you have recommendations on how to deep clean vans and rust prevention tips for us, wow cant wait to see more, clever young lady indeed xox

Thank you! My parents raised myself and my siblings to work hard for what we want in life and to teach ourselves along the way. It’s crazy what one can accomplish and learn with enough drive and determination. Welcome to my journey!

These vans seem so HUGE! Empty but filled up fast! I chose 136" wb Promaster by now wish I had 159" for the extra space. Those damn wheelwells! Arrg! Make some Floorplans not work? Looked good on paper but not IN the Van? You are Very Good explaining things as u go!

@LaurenLawliss 2 жыл бұрын

Yes! I love having a larger van. The wheel wells does take up a lot of space unfortunately. Hoping everything works out to plan. And thank you!

Great videos so far, just found you today, and am watching all of them. I like the idea of the pullout shower pan. One thing that I don't like about many of the shower options is having that bulky toilet in the tight fitting room. Two more videos to go and I'm caught up. Can't wait to see how you progress.

Appreciate the support! I am very excited to have a store away shower. I couldn’t come to terms with a built in one taking up so much reality space😬

WHICH VIDEO HAS THE STORE AWAY SHOWER..........YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS ARE FANTASTIC @@LaurenLawliss

@@RonPaulgirls THANK YOU🥰 I haven’t posted that video yet. It will probably be much later into the build that I get around to that video.

How did you figure your latout years later i still dont know mine 😂 also is this a extended cab

Hahaha I was drawing blueprints for the van a full year and a half before I even got the van and the layout continued to change during the conversion lol My biggest advice is to really consider your lifestyle, wants and needs. Understand what you will be doing in the van and how you want things to flow. Good luck!
