The word "Conversion" caught my eye. I currently own a 2001 Ford E150 (330 CID) conversion van that just reached 200,000 miles this month. She doesn't link oil or trans fluid on the driveway. However, parts are extremely hard to source since the Company went out of business back in 2010. Shame there isn't a company that will pimp my ride (refresh). Sir, you have two versions of the "Camper Conversion" videos. I like the bed arrangement of this one over your most recent one-two-passenger seats. Where I reside has an HOA so this van would have to be built in such a way it doesn't indicate "RV". The placement of your shore power connection under the van gets two thumbs up! Yet I require 30 amps since I mainly hook up at 30 amps places. My wife and I are in our 60s and don't boondock for medical reasons.

The most excellent camper conversion and detailed view I have seen on the net. Fantastic planning and craftsmanship went into this! Exciting and thank you!

Finally!!!! Somebody who actually knows wat they're talking about. No giggling when a new feature is mentioned. We need facts, not a comedian! Thank you so much! But, there is something missing? If you are going to entertain a spend like this then go the full hog & install a self levelling system. If you're going off road you will need this system otherwise you'll fall outa bed. 😂🤣😂🤣

That may be one of the most down-to-earth builds I've seen. Nice job! Really nice job!

It's nice that your charger disconnects when the alternator is no longer spinning. With start-stop, you don't want the house battery charger sucking down the chassis battery pack. From my conversion van builder, I still don't have a clear explanation as to how their system works.

Did you need to trim the wheel wells for the tires? How much lift did the Van Compass add to ground clearance, and what is the final clearance? Good looking rig!

@gonemobilevans

2 жыл бұрын

No trimming necessary for those size tires. They will actually fit without trimming even without the VC Lift Kit. Any bigger and you will have to do some trimming. I actually haven’t checked on the final clearance. I did also add the VC Shock Relocation Brackets which raised the shock mounts about 1.5” Those were the lowest part on the van, now it’s the rear diff. I’ll try to remember to measure tomorrow. Thanks for the comment.

Very cool van, also very heavy all round. Transit's a heavy van to start with too. Ok s'pose if youre mostly travelling on flat land. Otherwise woukd be expensive on the fuel uptake.

I think the interior layout looks very light compared to other builds I've seen...not a lot of furniture cluttering up the small space of a van. The Aluminess roof rack is very light, as is the rear ladder/tire holder. Also very happy to see the use of the Ruvati 15" sink...we love it.

Like everyone said, wonderful video. One question. Do you have experience in doing the bed as a sort of flip out option. It would fold onto itself in half against one of the walls so that it allows a walk way when not in bed mode? This is what I have been playing with in my concept design ideas
