Wonderful. Nice to see father and son doing this together. 👍😀

So great to hear of a father supporting their childs dream

That is one bee-you-tee-ful ceiling!

Aaaamazing job! I’m pretty envious of the relationship you have with your father. I was able find a transit trail a couple weeks ago. I lucked out as the one I ordered wasn’t supposed to be here for many months. I went by the dealership just to look at one..turns out the guy that ordered an ext high roof (much bigger and way more pimped out than the one I ordered) backed out a few minutes prior to my arrival. 5 hrs later I traded in my 2016 transit connect and drove the 23’ trail home! My dad and I were supposed to do some electrical, ceiling/walls. But he left town for the winter without even telling me. Oh well.. I’m used to it at this point. Just another example of how I won’t treat my two boys. You can learn a lot from situations like this. I’m going the route of your father..100%. So when my boys are older and they need my help with a project, I’ll remember this video as you said it was one of if not the best times in your life. 😊

I love your playful relationship with your dad. And what a beautiful ceiling. Lengthy videos reveal the more realistic aspects of a van build. Thanks for sharing your process and your humor. Very, very nice.

Looks beautiful, thank the Lord for Dads!!!

You are so fortunate to be able to do that with your dad. I'm converting a transit as well and oh how I wish my dad and brothers lived closer so we could work on stuff together and bond like y'all do. The ceiling looks amazing! You guys are true craftsmen, keep up the great work!👍🏽

+1. .. Nice view World Class carpentry work.

looks great!!! What a great moment for you and your dad :)

The smell of sawdust always reminds me of my Dad. What a great tribute to your father! And what a great project to do together. It looks beautiful!

I laughed, I cried, I loved it. Beautiful to see you and dad making this art in your van. 🦋

cool workmanship

Very nice 👌 😊

Erik! Dude, the time you put into your videos is so appreciated. I'm just starting converting a Ford Transit this year and I've watched a ton of KZfaq videos and even in the process of reading a few books on the topic. By far, your videos have been the most helpful resource I've come across. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

At 28 minutes in, when you can't drill the metal... You may have hit one of the boron steel areas of the transit. Check the ford transit BEMM (body and equipment mounting manual)

I found this fascinating process. I love the comradeship between you and your father. Brought back memories of working on projects with my own father using similar braces to plasterboard a ceiling. A beautiful finished project (the ceiling). Less fiddling with fitting that I would have thought.

awesome

Amazing install! It looks great. Very well done.

Beautiful ceiling! Perhaps more weight than ideal up high but beautiful. I used 1/4 “ T&G with 1/2” strapping. Did it with no help and one “pushy pole” . To mitigate that transit curve I lowered/added 1/2 inch of strapping to the cross beam just before the curve. This little bit of a lower starting point for that curve was the difference in multiple tongue breaks in trying to make that curve.

I thought I `d have mine done by the end of September. now with Biden and the country's cut loose from many things that were working , I`ll wait and learn more from You,

As I'm watching this I'm thinking one of those flooring tools that you use to put laminate flooring up against the walls would have come in handy. But hey you all got it done and it looks great 👍

Wow, what a project. You guys slayed it. Looks amazing.

Next time to do the holes for mounting run a piece of tape make the holes them pull the tape as a guide

Congratulations! It's beautiful! You did another great job, Erik!! 🙂

Just freakin' Wow! You and your dad are awesome. Please keep going, it's amazing! :)🥰

Muito bom! Gostei da forma de execução pois está na mesma linha de raciocínio a qual faço análise de projetos.

Nice looking ceiling... I did something similar. If you ever do it again, it's much easier to remove the blob, run the boards all the way to the front. Then cut the top of blob down to fit over the boards. 😉

Loaded up with water ready to camp you looking like your on your way past 3 tons on the scales 😮 Quality is one thing but mu God man this is going to be one heavy pig of a rig! I hope you ordered 2 inch lifted leafsprings already?

Hi Erik, I watched this amazing work again and have a question about the LED strips, what did you use and how did you installed it, looks like it's inside the dark accent strips.

I ve started watching your videos before my van conversion. I’m wondering what your total conversion cost?

Looks fantastic, but why did you not put any lighting into the ceiling? also.. how much weight is added and do you notice the added weight up high when driving?

Hey just found your channel and this looks awesome man. Can I ask why you were pulsing the screws as opposed to driving them straight in? Thanks!

What are the things for that hang between the boards every 2 feet or so?

Just curious why did you not use plastic moisture barier over the insulation?

It's nice that you edited out the times you wanted to eat each others faces. Inevitable in tight spots no matter how much you love one another. It is a great looking ceiling. So glad you didn't have the "hey dad was this wire supposed to be inside?" at the end.

Why the music ? Waterboarding without water I can't stand it . I need to here you .

stupid and annoying music in the background so unnecessary
