Van Life Essentials How to Install a Pop Top on a Van

We previously met and toured Gavin’s amazing van conversion of his Safari minivan, but today he gives us detailed instructions on exactly how he found and installed the High-Top on this van.

I have to say, voices like his...soft, lilting, coupled with his engineer's eye for detail and artist's drive for perfection? That's a turn-on for MANY people. Then add the "patience" factor, and that beautiful hair? I think I could hang out with this man for about 20 years and never lose interest. I hope he's getting the attention & caring he deserves from women (or whomever he desires) a beautiful human.

I know this is an older video but I just came across it. Very informative, intelligent young man. Love his pop up. Thanks for sharing

I was impressed so much i spent the weekend removing a fiberglass roof from an e150 (like mine) and getting it loaded up on a trailer. Your videos do so much to help people save money and enjoy the lifestyle of van living.

Wow wow and wow. This guy is so incredibly clever. And his van in brilliant

[roberthill]

Man you did such a great job on that top.

[muumarlin]

I love engineers. And I love when they take the time to design and build things for their own use. Very cool to see how they think and approach builds, and the problems that they solve and prevent along the way.

I have watched this video lit 20 times plan on doing the same to my safari van that's for the inspiration

This man is genious. Put his engineering skills & sewing ability to good use. The first self build pop top l've seen. Great job 👍😃

[vernharris]

That's so cool, I would not have the patience for to do that

[designlifeliving]

Excellent job! Would be useful to get the specs and supplier for the lifts (which ones he finally went with).

[eca]

Absolutely beautiful mind on this individual. He's more than welcome to come design my skoolie. -In all honesty, does he do this for a living? Does he consult or design for $$? I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Possibly bake him some cookies, as well. ☺️👍🏽🌸

Great work and his calming voice has relaxed me. I've been crazy stressed. I might listen to him talk some more even if I don't understand it.
