Excellent video, I was set on a longitudinal bed, but now it's a folding sofa bed like yours for me, thanks for posting

Love it!🤠

Hi brother! Thanks for everything. I've been camping in my Prius for about a year and eventually going to get a hybrid Sienna. I'll probably follow your layout pretty closely since it seems very efficient. Would love to buy you lunch if you're near Orlando FL or Hilton Head SC when I'm in the area.👍

very good solution and great detailed explanation. Thanks a lot. I haven't really understood how you fix the devices to reduce the back and forth flow of the water in the tube. could you tell me please?

You and your wife look very cute together on the pictures!!

Thank you for your comprehensive information from Japan!

Hi from the Isle of Wight

I bought an assortment of stuff to make screens over a year ago.But still haven't made any. It seems daunting to me until I watched this video.

Excellent video - thank you ❤

Namaste from India Eric. Have just bought a minivan for conversion purposes. Your videos are helping me a lot to think differently. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and ideas for our benefit.

Oh no I could not have someones feet in my face. What if they stink. NO no no. That is incredibly gross. I don't even want to see a persons feet let along have them in my face. Eweeeooooo.

I'm learning so much practical and useful information, Eric. Thank you for your clear and organized videos. Happily subscribed!

bravo bravo bien expliqué merci de Boisbriand Québec

Guess as a female I shouldn’t be watching this? 😂 I’m not a Batchelor and I will be remaining single so why take up precious room with bed double the size I need? I love the fold up bed, probably my favourite

Okay so this video came up in my feed and I saw this video I am so impressed and I am now a new subscriber to your channel! I was so touched to see that you guys were posing in front of the Utah sign which I've never been able to do because I was always traveling alone from my work in Nevada to my home in Utah and then the icing on the cake at 10 minutes into the video at the very end you had a picture of Death Valley and that's the lonely road I had to drive to get to work for 9 years😢 I always thought for the last 25 years before I knew van living or camping was ever a thing I always had such a wonderful feeling having all these thoughts of Designing my van exactly how yours is designed all the way down to the sliding bed.

Greetings from India. I'm going to try this solution on my Pajero 2004.

this won't burn out the transmission?

Watching you from Rio Grande do Sul, at the extreme south of Brazil. Great job!

Hey you have the best car rebuild videos I've seen. Erik I send my friendly greetings from the Czech Republic. What kind of Toyota car do you drive? And the engine? Thanks and good luck

You have really good advice, a nice van, and nice video skills. Thank you for your content.

Thank you! From central part of Texas. Things i may try--Magnetic hooks from Harbor Freight instead of suction cups. Reinforcing the edge where that hook goes through to hold the shower curtain side with Gorilla tape (extra strong brown duct tape) XL Binder clips from office supply vs chip clips. Rubber floor mat from van to reduce muddy feet? Idk. Maybe a designated shower mat one. Another idea is drill small holes in a gallon water jug lid and use as a shower. Thanks for sharing your great ideas!

Why not place mattress directly on floor, surely this will give you much more head space as well as keeping things simple.

Genius! wish I saw this before completing mine lol

Great job on your build of your custom Toyota truck with ultra rare OEM seamless snugvan shell imported directly from Japan 🤣❤️

The biggest mistake is that most small vans are too small to have sleeping space for a 200cm tall person. Nice build of you. what kind of car is yours?

Hi Great video, hey can you give me the measurements of the bed I would like to build it in my minivan. this bed is great.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Good points. I see that your build looks like a westfalia rock and roll bed and where the "furniture" and cubbies are placed

How wide is your bed? Can it fit 2 adults? Thank you for your very informative and no nonsense videos.

❤❤❤

Great information! Thank you.

Hi Eric, I much love your design and detailed explanation. I see you removed the left side 3rd row seat but not the right side. Why not? Wouldn’t you have benefited from the extra available space? Thanks so much!

This is amazing! Thank you for going into so much detail, and as some other people here mentioned, for making it easy to understand, and helping us eat the elephant one bite at a time. I'm watching from Singapore, but am Australian, a few years ago my wife and I took a year off and travelled around Australia in a car, and it was amazing. That being said, if I had seen this video I could have solved a lot of problems we had! Thanks again, your video style and thoughtful ideas are really valuable for this community, I hope you're having a great year!

you are a genius :)

Awesome

Tes vidéos sont claires et concises, et ayant beaucoup voyagé avec un Westfalia dans le passé, il est évident que tu maîtrises ton sujet. En une soirée à regarder tes vidéos, j'ai appris tout ce qu'il me fallait pour faire ma conversion. Internet se porterait mieux avec plus de KZfaqurs comme toi. Merci.

you are great!

Parle français la prochaine sa sera mieux. L’accent est affreux

Hi and thank you for the videos. I’m on Whidbey island north of Seattle. Where are you most days?

Love your videos and inspired ideas. Have seen several imitations since. I think many bathroom sink faucets are ridiculously designed, also stall doors that almost brush the toilet and can barely get in the stall.

Hello Eric, You suggest using three layers: black fabric on the outside, Reflectix in the middle, and Coroplast on the inside. I am thinking of using black-colored Coroplast on the outside and Reflectix on the inside. How do you think this will work? What are your thoughts on this?

Hey @ericenjoysearth2756 Where fid you find your foam matress? From wvat it looks like ikea was where you bought it.

Love your videos and will put some tips into my van soon. Kia Ora from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿

I love your videos Eric. I recently purchased a used Toyota Sienna and plan to outfit it similarly using your videos for inspiration. I'm curious about the cross-bars on your factory roof rack? Did you make them DIY? or did you buy them somewhere? Thanks so much!

Eric, tu es une Légende!!!! Awesome videos! You, sir, are a Treasure to Humanity!

Greetings from NewZealand Eric 😊 hope all is well. Great videos for simple and realistic conversions!! Keep up the great work

What if you don't own or want a van but have a pickup instead and a design a long term camp out and not have a bed over cab but utilize that space for storage and dry pantry storage do you have something that could work with small wood stove for cooking and heating in winter or high elevations .??? Ideas would be well appreciated as I am not carpenter I'm a retired Truck Driver.

Hi Eric! Love these techniques shared. I got my cushions into 4 parts so in the future I can implement the sofa bed technique! I missed if you shared somewhere how you applied the LED strip non-permanently? Did you use pins or what type of adhesive? The sienna Facebook group is curious!

I've used a 5 gallon bucket with a plastic bag inside, then put 2 pieces of 3x1" wood across the top to sit on... it does the job for the jobbie.

I'm grateful to have found your channel and have watched many of your videos. The information you provide is extremely practical, useful, and to the point. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience as well as showing, in detail, what you did and WHY.🤗 I'm sorry if I missed it, but could you share the information regarding the music playing during this video? 🎵🎸
