"I shower once a week... which may not seem like a lot for people living in ...homes" hahaha "but for someone living on the road full time, it's ...adequate" I love it. Great video! Great RV!

When we were kids once a week was what everybody did.Saturday night , lol. Clean for Sunday.

Brilliant design is a huge understatement. I am a licensed and accomplished engineer with 47 years of experience. I know what I am looking at. The design throughout is genius. No question in my well-educated mind. Your work is genius. Good for you. You are the best design engineer in terms of step-van space. The very best. I am very good but could not accomplish what you have done. Pure genius.

That dowel and eyelet system for holding the doors closed is brilliant, simple but I never would have thought of that in a million years.

After watching a few hundred tour vids, seeing something different doesn't happen very often. Hes got a couple of different things going on that I hadn't seen before.

You made me chuckle when you pointed out how cute your mini wood burning stove is. Your RV, is lovely and without any wasted space on the inside. If I saw this RV, I would have never been the wiser about the interior.

it is a wonderful build!

What a cool setup. I like the residential elements he put in. Kind of a cabin on wheels vibe.

Now I want a lift gate on the back of my van. No question that is a great job. A shower, not usually part of the picture. It photographs like a mountain cabin. I'm impressed. I'm sure the photographer's skill goes a long way on how good this looks.

Duane, what a beautiful job you did! Happy travels Duane!

Lovely man and van.

Duane’s rig is cool. It’s cosy and neat, just like a cabin. Duane’s a cool man too.

Out of all the Step Van Conversions I’ve seen, Dewaynes Van is the very best. Not only does he have all of the bells and whistles of any great RV but he took the time and detail to make the interior living space look and feel like a home. The wood paneling and the earthy tones and color schemes make the inside feel like a lovely home or really nice cabin. I absolutely loved what he did with the space and style of vehicle he has chosen to convert into a mobile home. Excellent job!

Really nice conversion - so many favorites - love the wood burning stove - "Thank you" for sharing your home!

Very brilliant set up. Best I've seen of many lay outs. Thanks for showing us. Your skills and practical knowledge are a credit to you.

What an awesome van Duane has and thanks so much for showing bro. All the very best

Great build, very well thought out, no wasted space...!

The swamp cooler looks great for desert living. DIY desert swamp cooler?: Hang some wet tee shirts under a Fantastic Fan and spray the shirts regularly to keep them wet?

That was one of your best videos. I loved Dwayne's creativity.

Very nice rig you got there Duane... Nicely put together using nice materials - excellent! Thanks Seven for doing the Video, great as usual.... Ciao.

Duane, you made such a beautiful build! Congrats to you, and happy RVing!

"And it's cute!" I love this guy. Great rig.

Super nice stepvan conversion, well designed and built. Beautiful in person

What a gorgeous home! He did a great job. Thanks for sharing Seven.

I love the way u have put everything in place, Will done,happy journey to u

This is really a wonderful home. This is what you call a home with the works. Duane you did an awesome job. Looks like an everyday vacation home. Thanks for the tour.

Duane, your home is lovely, great use of space, it doesn't feel cramped at all. Thank you for sharing ! Lots of good ideas!

By far, the best box van conversion I've ever seen Seven! Thank you for sharing!

Duane, your van is amazing. I love the inside and really love the motorcycle transport space. You've given me some great ideas. Thanks for sharing. Be Well and Free!!

Ive watched many videos. A step van like Duane's will fit my needs the best. Very nice set up !

Brilliant build! Very clean and practical. The max air fan with the swamp fan feature gave an idea. Go get one 😊

Beautiful build; quite comfortable and homey. I was never certain about a step van, but seeing this, I believe I could be happy in one. I'll add them to my list of "sure, maybe!"

That is an exceptional build which will provide years of service. Wow!!!

Thanks Seven. He did a wonderful job of his van . Good thing every one has different ideas.

Duane did a nice job of building out his conversion. It is very cozy and functional with a cabin-like feel!

Wow, that guy's home is beautifully designed, I just love it. That was a well conducted interview, you just let him do it, wonderful, thank you.

Love seeing Tall Guy's builds. If I ever build my own, I will want a tall box or step van for head clearance purposes.

I'm going to watch this again--so many new ideas! The step van looks like a great option!

Wow!Outstanding.10x the build quality of a traditional RV and I'm sure thousands less.What an awesome purpose built rig. Well done video Seven,thank you.

This is one of the best builds I've come across. He did a great job

Duane resembles The Dude in all the best ways! Love it, and love his rig!

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Love the simple eyelet/dowel solution to things getting loose and flying around the home when driving.

That is such an amazing job that he did on his build (IKEA will be my best friend whenever I start on my build) LOL ... His step camper looks so comfortable to live in... he has everything... shower, A/C and heat.. (home sweet home) All he needs now is a door bell hahaha (just kidding) When I grew up in Va. I remember my grandmother had a wood burning stove in the living room... (it was large) and it worked really well. Duane can even put a bunk over his bed for grandchildrens to sleep if he has any... my plans are to have enough sleeping space to take my grandchildren on adventures with me when they are on school vacation. GOOD JOB DUANE :)

one of the step vans I toured earlier, built by Gabriel, did actually have a house door and door bell. but, Duane's rig is nicely built!

Wow very beautiful van! I like the door being near the drivers seat That is what I would want on mine as well as maybe one on the back but the front is more appealing. I love the contrast of light and where the wood is placed. It is very beautiful. Thank you Duane for sharing your beautiful home with us!

This is a very nice home! Just beautiful. You did a very nice job. I can’t wait to show my husband this video. Thank you, Leslye

Well done guys. Great rig Duane and great editing Seven.

Wow this is so super nice and it's so nice of you to share this with us I got so many great tips from things you've already taken the time to figure out for us I think it's really cute how you said about the shower I lived in a camper for half a year to pay for the land that I was on and I found out I could can take half showers you know waist down showers and they can be cold that's how I got by haha and that's mostly because I was just too lazy to heat up the tank from my propane tank. a real work of art Duane thank you for sharing and have fun on that bike!!!

Hi guys, thanks for the great tour of your very well planned and executed step van conversion Duane. It seems to be a very comfortable, functional and nice looking space. That awning and shade screen practically doubles the living space and even the bike deck is multi purpose...I dig it! The off grid self sufficiency is extremely appealing to me as well, you can be anywhere and have all the comforts of home...so cool! I really enjoy these tours Seven, they're very informative and inspiring to me...keep 'em comin'! Happy trails folks. .......................PEACE!!

Beautiful conversion! Exactly the kind of conversion I am looking to do. Just lovely 😊

Fantastic step van conversion! As a rider I love the ability to carry your bike. My former partner welded old bed frames to the back our RV to carry our HD. Clocked lots of miles before he passed. Great solar system & wood stove & on demand water heater. It's all about the adventures in life; enjoy! 🏍😊

Thank you, Duane and Seven, for a great tour with many very useful ideas for those of us embarking on our own van builds. This is a very comfortable space, love the cubic mini stove. I hope to have one installed myself.

What a beautiful home! A lot of different ideas in this one. I really enjoyed this video.

Duane. Your place is awesome....you do great work...looks like a wonderful way to spend your life.... best wishes and safe travels.

Great job!!! LOVE THIS! You made the most of all your space.

Wow! What a great step van! Thanks for showing us Seven. Happy New Year!

All the vid's of DIY conversions I've been viewing from tear drops to buses....this is Definitely - to me one of the absolute Best. Very Simple set-up. Also importantly addresses the issue of a motorcycle(s). Not what I expected from the beginning. He's hanging the bike out back and not bringing it into to living area. This is a plus. Thank You Duane & SW/W.

Nice tour, I like his layout as well I might have to look into doing one like his

This is what I call truly living and riding free! Living the dream!! I'm wondering what the ceiling height is inside. Looks like he just has a few inches to spare. I am in love with this build! So well thought out and perfect use of space! It's just beautiful! I'm very envious! The fact that the motorcycle tows so perfectly in the back blows me away! I used to ride and have been telling my husband I want another bike. This makes it doable for me! We have every intention of retiring on the road in this manner. So glad I got to see this beauty!

Very nice. Thanks Duane and Seven!

it is an amazing build!

This is an impressive build, the lift on the back for a bike being the most innovative thing I've seen so far, my own Luton Bodied had a tail lift but I only ever used that as a patio for summer relaxing. Now I know what my next build will have! (Last time I had my bike on a trailer, next time I'm copying this guy! ).

Duane , nice job very functional and clean set up safe travels . Love the Bike setup as well !

Beautifully done; love the use of natural wood everywhere, though personally I'd curve some of the sharp edges because I'm a klutz and tend to run into things. I liked the placement of the bed-- that's very cozy back there. Might be interesting to make one of those windows into an emergency hatch, only openable from the inside... The woodburning stove was very well mounted, and I loved the copper heat-reflector! Nice work.

If you ever see Dwayne again you'll need to congratulate him on behalf for a really clean build. It's a very nice balance of practical, frugal and comfortable.

Holy moly! This build looks stunning.

Nice job my brother!!! Be Safe/Be Happy!! (Get a role of simple 3/4" x 1/8" window seal for the door rattel, just did my screen door, the silence was bliss, lol!!! It'll be a yearly upkeep but so worth it!! Safe Travels!!)
