My sweet dad, Les, passed away from cancer this past July. It broke his heart when he had to sell this van. I am so very grateful that he was asked to make this video. He was so knowledgeable and I'm glad he could share with you all. I love that I can watch him in this video whenever I want. Thank you for all of your kind comments. He enjoyed them so much ❤️

Your dad seems like a good guy, reminds me of a couple of guys that I've worked with over the years. Love the van, great layout and design, functionality first, but still looks great. As a 30 year electrician myself, I knew that the first comment about the fridge he'd make was about keeping the beer cold. Best wishes, man, you earned it. The electrician is the smartest guy on the job, be glad you retired when you did; the new crop of apprentices are mostly worthless. Lazy, dumb, wanna play on their phone all day and some can't read a tape measure!

Hello everyone. I’m happy to hear your nice comments. I’m glad that you might find this useful. I see that there was a question as to which direction we sleep. The pillows are in the stored position as shown during the day. They are out of the way that way. We sleep lengthwise and move the pillows at bedtime. I’m sorry I didn’t point that out in the video. Thanks again for watching and thanks to Patrick for taking the time to do this video as well as having this wonderful site. I’m a sponge for new ideas. Remember - “Entertain your Brain !

I really admire the creativity on display found in the minds and hearts of these builders. Electrical... it's as foriegn to me as the female species, (ask any I've dated, lol), but I still find it interesting to listen to. My knowledge of electrical systems stops at my, still, childlike amazement, whenever I flip the switch and... my kitchen is illuminated. =] As a small child I stuck a kitchen knife into the switch/latch of my grandmother's open clothes dryer wondering if it'd turn it on WITH that door open. I wasn't a bright child... But for a second or two, I was a bit, uh, brighter than I had been. I learned quickly... one can operate a dryer with the door open and, two, it wasn't one of my better ideas. =]

I was wondering if he was a union electrician, my question was answered when I saw the IBEW sticker on front of his 120 panel(and he mentioned it later); and I knew he had to have had unistrut someplace in that van, made me laugh when he pulled out the draw and he said he used unistrut. I'm a safety manager for a union electrical contractor glad to hear his reference to safety on the job, so very important. Wonderful build.

It's a nice build. Looks modern- and more spacious than most. // Space is important in a van in case you want to haul stuff in it... // Just remember, every screw you screw into your walls... takes away from that space / flexibility of use. - There's something to be said to having a cot, a 3-drawer plastic floor shelf unit from Walmart, and a cooler as your build. Although you can probably get some stuff in there for transport- easier than others would be able to.
