‘90s VAN to MODERN TINY HOME… Full Detailed Build

In this video I buy this old 1990 Chevy G20 conversion van and transform it into a modern, handmade, luxurious camper van complete with a hidden tv, sink, fridge, maple cabinets, vinyl floor, cedar ceiling, pot lights, neon lights and retractable barbeque. This detailed build video outlines the entire building process complete with narration and full explanation of each step. Then I take my new camper van on a camping trip in the Canadian wilderness.

The entire livable van build cost $7000 CAD in renovations, plus $6000 for the van itself.

  1. I love all the attention to detail like the screw spacings! Didn't really like the grey fabric stuff in the driver's area and the old ratty plastic fan cover (would have painted it black to match the window edges). Would be spiffy to reupholster the front seats with the same fabric as the rear cushions too!

  2. أعجبني كثيرا الموضوع أكثر من رائع، ويمسّ صميم حياة المرء اليومية تحياتي دمت متألق????

  3. This is incredible, thank you for the detailed build. Any thoughts on adding an induction stove or hot plate in the future? The propane is a good solution but you might be less limited with an electric appliance (e.g. going through tunnels with even small propane tanks is technically not allowed at least where I'm at).

  4. This is an awsome looking build and you somehow got it realy cheap aswell. If I had to guess I would have probably saied about double of what you actually paied!

  5. I absolutely love the entire Reno. what's more is how you kept the front doors the same and the chairs. I loved that homage to the past of the van.
    Why do you hide your Ryobi tool brand names on your tools?

  6. First of all; you're welcome, and thanks for the shout out. That was very sweet of you.
    I am very crafty and I have a million ideas for things.
    In the words of Merlin from The Kingsman ' that was fucking spectacular'!
    That van build was amazing. Now I know why I haven't seen you in so long lol.
    By the way, where did you get those incredible knee pads? lmfao.

  7. Awesome job i live in Innisfil not far from you and i am in the middle of restoring a 50 year old 15 foot camper. i think i might use some of your ideas.

  8. Beautiful build! The countertop is my favorite part of the project. Thank you for your efforts in showings us step-by-step build, so entertaining!

  9. "IBS hoodie" is very funny. Great video. So glad you have the ability to do these kind of things.
