    There was no issue at all with weight. Since this was originally a passenger van, I removed 3 rows of seats which I’m 99% positive weighed more than everything I built and installed. I’m also pretty sure the E350 has a beefier suspension than a 150 or 250. Anyone else know for sure? Either way, no squat and no drive difference once I finished everything up. 😊

    pretty cool. i bet that took an insane amount of work. Lots of great ideas. I couldnt handle those windows tho, i would want them 100% covered. Makes it feel like your hanging out inside a van instead of a home like space.

    thanks, yeah I put a lot of hours into that build. Agreed on the windows especially after doing a few vans now....the less windows the better. starting with a commercial van with no windows is ideal as you can always add them during the build.

    The bar is definitely designed to only be used at camp and I am highly against drinking and driving. With that said, as long as you aren't drinking and driving, it should not be a problem. The bar is not accessible (can't reach it) by either the driver or passenger from the front seats.

"the vast majority of people out there do not have the skills or tools to build a van of this caliber" No one does. Until they learn... via apprenticeship, KZread, etc. This was also unrelated to the argument as we're commenting on what Dave said, not the OP. You're merely attempting to deflect because you're incorrect. "I've created similar vans. Total cost, not including van, would be roughly $6,000 unless you spent frugally and repurposed materials." He literally said "I've created", meaning he did the labor, and "Not including van", meaning not including the van price. Which would mean 6k for the build. I love the internet and the pseudointellectuals embarrassing themselves again and again. Please, keep at it. I'm enjoying this.
