This is great. I've had similar ideas for a van build and it's nice to see someone else that has actually done it. You can save a lot of space and money by doing basic noco shore power/battery pack electrical set up and still have most of the amenities of more expensive builds.

I. Love. THIS! I want a 136, cuz smaller to maneuver and park and stealth. But after years of watching van builds it is REAL easy to get overwhelmed with how much all this will cost. Grab the cabinettes from home depot and ya good to go! I like the small kitchen so you can fit in that extra seat...that solves a design challenge i was stuck on. I'm a girl who has lived off grid for 6 years in various RV sizes. I gotta have a shower and toilet. But after seeing this, i have an idea. Thanks for putting this vid together, really helpful to show ya don't have to break the bank to have a nice van build.

I agree with your design mentality, simple, effecient, realistic, cost effective. I'll have to watch again and take notes on which tires and goal zero you have. I'll be watching more times as I gradually build mine while I hit the road. Good tour and edit!

I'm 6'1" and change so I understand needing a Promaster High Roof. Ours is a Carado Axion built on the exact same Promaster as yours. It's fancier but it cost $70K even with a discount. More systems integration but also more expensive to maintain. Yours gets the job done so economically--impressive. I didn't know about the fuel tap on the gas tank.

@@MaxwellHand Maxwell, I wanted to ask about insurance. Has it been easy to get insurance? My provider sort of "poo-poohed" the idea of me converting a van, saying it needed to be "professionally done" and hinted that my rate might be high if we did it ourselves. Do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing the tour of your van! I'm slowly but surly converting my own van and am happy to see someone with the same model. It's nice to see someone place their heater in the back instead of under the passenger seat like everyone seems to do. I just bought one and am trying to figure out where I want to install it - considered both but wasn't sure the back would work because of the spare tire. Good to know it does, in fact, work there :) I'm also grateful for the tire recommendation! I've been considering upgrading in prep for winter weather here in the east, as well as for next year's trip out west. Good to know there's an inexpensive tire that is better than the van OEM. Hope your journey is safe, but ultimately FUN!
