Yeah we have finished the van we are just really behind on uploading videos. It's a lot of work to build a van and pump out weekly DIY build videos. Thanks for always being here with the kookz!

Love the tip about putting a washer on a pen or marker 👍

Thanks dude. We try to share all the time saving techniques we've learned along the way.

Even trying to be so mindful, we still wasted so much money on wood mistakes and such. Wood adds up quick!

Especially these days…. That’s why making templates out of cheap material and cardboard helps save cost and materials. Making a few cardboard templates can really show you how it can all come together.

Really nice clean design:) It is actually more complicated to be that exact but looks so sleek in the end.

It sometimes can be. A few extra steps go a long way for your finished product.

Idea: I want my van to be a 4 season van, so I would need to insulate batteries and water tank and hoses in the winter. How about putting thick insulating foam under and on the van frame outside portion of the batteries and the water tank to begin with? Then it would be easier to cover them with insulation in the winter.

I would definitely insulate them as good as you can. If they are in the back of the van like this one you will want to over do it. The customer told us this van would never be in the cold so we didn't insulate much. Also she has heat enabled batteries.

I'm building out a Medium Roof Ford Transit and I Used the Window Bumpouts to accommodate the Length of the Bed (along with elevating the head of the Bed and using a modified Cot frame as a base).

I want to have semi-exposed insulation to double as padding for the head in the foot of the bed, perhaps covered with some kind of aesthetically appealing fabric or something like that.

My mattress was found curbside in Berkeley California and it was from Ikea and fits the card frame perfectly. I decided to stack the moving blankets I travel with under the mattress and over the frame as extra padding, and as a prevention from castrating myself getting out of the bed.

Awesome Craig! Sounds like you have it all figured out. Love all the details. Do anything you can to avoid castration.

Very nice, looks great. I was wondering how you were securing the bottom of the walls for hiding the water tank and electrical and scrolled back through to see if I missed it. Then I finished the video. haha. there it was, angle iron. :)

I was curious to see those windows on the back doors!? Wondering what after market windows were added? Love to have windows that open in the rear for cross breeze as my van is window free except for the windows up front in the cab. Great build Kookz!
