It's nice to see that they used thinner/lighter wood for most of the cabinet and bed construction. Too many people overload the pre-2008 E150's and they simply aren't built to take it. They are often near their GVWR with just a conversion company interior and a few passengers.

That high top adds 900lbs....I got a 1998 and have the original paperwork from the Conversion company. Along with the Schematics, Full Size wiring diagram and extra harnesses if needed for upgrading. It tells you towing capacity...And it's not 7000lbs..More like 2400lbs.. But you remove them seats in the rear. You saved 450lbs. remove them upper cabinets. As they are over built to start with. Save 90lbs... So if you can keep the build weight below 500lbs. You're not over weight...

@@WizzRacing I'm not saying converting a pre-2008 E150 can't be done but it does mean being much more cautious about total weight vs a 250 or 350. I see far too many #Vanlife'rs that don't understand their vehicles actual weight capacity, resulting in dangerously overloaded 1/2 ton vans. To them it's just a "big work van" and there is no difference. The nice thing about '08 or newer Econolines is that they got a boost in the GVWR department across the line. A 2014 E150 for example could be optioned with nearly the same GVWR a 1996 E250 had. Possibly higher. A properly optioned 2014 E250 is rated higher still.

I have a ‘98 econoline 150 and thank you for the heads up. I will be carrying dehydrated food, freeze dried and my own home canned meats in pint size jars. I will definitely keep the weight in mind as I tend to be an overpacker and my husband constantly reminds me of this, lol!

Love the simplicity in this build. Best wishes to this lovely couple. Norway 🇳🇴, how wonderful!

You have very few feet to play with.. It has to be in the middle forward part of them High Tops...Any Max Air fan will fit.. And make sure you look where you are going to cut that hole. Remove the ceiling plywood to look for any support beam.. As not all of them High Tops are from one supplier...As each mold can be different where they put them..

I really wish I would have done this when I turned 20 im 26 now I would only do it if I had a friend with some land and didn’t mind me camping on his land I would do it just to be rent free😅

Thanks Patrick! I heard her say that the van is the same length as any other vehicle on the road, just after saying that they sold the shuttle bus. From that I gleaned that they sold the bus because it was so big. That’s a weak reason to assume that, so I wonder if they told you why they got rid of the shuttle bus? Do you have any insight into that choice? I appreciate the tours you give us and this is another good one! Having forgotten my instagram details, I am not able to get on. I should have checked before I started this comment but if you didn’t post their email, maybe they are close enough to comment on contact info and what (if anything) was the issue with the shuttle bus?
