Ultimate DIY Camper Van ~ Pop Top, Bathroom & Shower Built In

What do you all think of these longer videos? They take forever to edit but I thoroughly enjoy filming and editing these types of videos. Andrew and Katie are living and traveling out of these awesome DIY camper van exploring all the world has to offer. Be sure to check out their instagram below and talk them into doing a blog!

I liked how well-spoken they are. They talk really fluidly and the technical know-how was remarkable. I wish them the best

This is phenomenal. Watch 40 minutes of TV and 7 outta 10 times you regret wasting that time. This was time well spent.

Great setup, Kudos all around !
I have a shower setup, that works the best and costs next to nothing.
I bought a 1.5 gallon plastic pesticide sprayer. Any hardware store will have one. I paid 8 dollars at Walmart for mine, and it came with a 5 ft hose with the adjustable sprayer trigger tip.
I will normally heat up about 1/2 gallon of water and pour it into the sprayer and top it off the rest of the way with room temp water. Screw the top on and give it 15-20 pumps. And you can have a really good warm shower.
I find that when I adjust the spray to my liking, I'll get myself wet, then lather up and rinse all with that gallon or so of water.
Hope my two cents helps.

Finally someone who talks to us and teaches what we need to know. Great job, Have safety and peace on your trips

Now THIS is what I'm talking about. Information on virtually everything. I love the detail. People aren't left trying to guess how this or that is done. And the helpful hints are awesome. The side window being for a flat surface and most vans being a curved surface is an excellent bit of FYI.... Love it Love it Love it.

Wow! Great job! It’s a different world these days from the one I grew up in. My husband and I worked very hard all our lives only to get to retirement age and have the bottom fall out. So we sold but mostly gave away all our “stuff” and took our camp trailer put solar on it, took all the factory furniture out and made it our home. Less stress, lot less overhead, less housework and yard work and more time to enjoy our lives together. So happy to see young people being smart like you two! God bless and keep you safe!

Wow. I'm impressed with the hard work, ingenuity and patience it took to achieve this build! This is the outside the box thinking that started "vanlife".

[TheresaPowers]

Andrew is really an amazing young man. His knowledge and talent really astounds me. I suppose he could make anything he put his mind to.

This has got to be one of the most competent guys I’ve ever seen on any video in this genre

[gamerodoyle]

Thanks for the longer video, and I too enjoy your sweet relationship. I agree with grammapat. You go to college, serve your country and work hard your entire life, accumulating "stuff" and a nice, large home, only to have it stolen from you and lose it all in your golden years. I don't know if I can even put together a van myself, but I am watching lots of videos and taking copious notes. Wish me luck!

I LOVE the kitchen-in-door idea!! So much for sliding doors... this is really brilliant! I'd love to see an update :)

[benjitellsthetruth]

Nice job. One thing I want you to check: the carbonmonoxide alarm I suspect, needs to be mounted lower ( not at roof line) This killer is heavier than air so it hangs out at the floor level to 1 meter up from the floor. Byron Starr, Engineer

Storage in the doors! What a brilliant design! I haven’t seen that done before. Thanks for sharing your process.

[RawTopShot]

I watched the whole way through.
It was interesting and I appreciated your in depth descriptions of the mods you made plus insight into what you would do differently of you built another van.
Thank you Andrew and Katie.

[midnite]

Amazing job on the van! It was only until I started researching conversions did I realize how much work goes into a van for full time living/travel. You have clearly gotten the most out of the budget you were working with. Can't imagine the amount of time you've put into research alone, forget about the build. Bravo. Good luck in your travels and be safe!

[luckylucylucky]

As for longer videos, I'll let my thumbs up do the talking. Thanks for all your hard work Chris.

[GregHoke]

Two gifted individuals with a lot of guts and a great relationship. Thanks for sharing.

[katydidnt]

Such a smart build and talk. As a 2-year vanlifer, who has watched a LOT of van tours, this kept my rapt attention.
