The best micro camper conversion I have seen.
@user-oe1mb9hu9i
@user-oe1mb9hu9i Ай бұрын
Always amazed by the sheer number of people who love installing boxes and kitchen sinks with a sofa/bed in the back of their vans and then somehow think that the value of the whole rig has shot up two to three times it's actual value !!! I've been camping for years. Van/folding bed for comfort (off the floor) and a portable propane gas stove with a propane fridge too. All in a nice wooden box with a cutting board on the top. It's all you need and it is the ultimate STEALTH van if you can open the back and show whomever that it isn't a campervan. Not the same I hear you say ..... This thing has no dry WC or WC at all for that matter, so it's not really designed to go far off the beaten track. No shower. All things you can buy seperately and store in the back if it's not full of sofa and kitchen sink ...

I'm just sitting here on youtube watching van conversion after van conversion video, opening any of them that look like they are worth watching and lo and behold, Josh Oakes! So cool to see that you're not just a great skateboarder/snowskater, but you are an amazing craftsman as well! Great van! I would love to be able to do my own some day. You have a lot of really great ideas in this one and I saw on your website the updated back doors with the shelves, very nice.

@@deanm4290 I didn't, as it wasnt part of the conversion series that I was following. After seeing this video I wish I had though! I have a similar design on my sliding pull-out table which lies under the bed, meaning that when the back doors are open I can slide that out and have an outdoor table for cooking etc.

The ONLY down side I see here is the light switches are always lit. As someone who's light sensitive, I would have to put something over these so they don't keep me awake at night. Even with blinkers on they would annoy me - I have to tape over extension/power cords, all the ones worth getting seem to have these and the makers have given them sunlight lumen power. Everything else about the van is marvellous!
