What's up guys my name's Devon it's my 1995 Chevy G10 half-cone. Originally stock converted into a weekend camper van. Got 80,000 miles on it original. 4.3 V6, all pretty stock. Didn't really have to do anything when I bought it just through a new radiator in it. Two new plugs and wires, I called it good. I bought it for $1,500 which is a skill I think especially because it's got the barn doors. Got the nice rocket box up top for storage. The tooly racks pretty much for all my soft goods and stuff like that sleeping bags, backpacks, big stuff you know keeping them out of the interior making nice and clean lots of room. Got a bike rack on the other side of the rack there. Just picked up a back ladder, a van ladder and we're gonna mount on the other side to be able to access the bike rack because it's pretty tall and pretty short so it's hard to get a bike up there. Got the PVC pipe there for any fishing poles and a couple hooks and throw up a tarp oning out a tarp if it's not really out and raining and all that. So the interior I did all of myself it was originally just stock metal which is great because that's kind of the plan I wanted. See I insulated all the walls the floors and the doors. Before putting up the quarter inch side panels here. Side panels all the panels have this nice warm felt on them which is actually really simple and turned out really well. I just cut the panels to fit before and there's spread adhesive the felt on and screwed them in and it worked out pretty well. Pretty easy I think took an afternoon or so. I chose a nice low profile carpet with a mindset of just keeping it clean. It's an indoor outdoor carpet so it'd be really easy to clean up any muddy boots or anything like that and it's directly onto the wood down below so any liquid thickets spill or anything like that isn't gonna soak into any soft goods and mold or anything like that so it's built with that in mind keeping it clean and basically just having it be a dirty spot. As you can tell my newest edition and concept kitchenette I'm building here it is a TV stand at the moment but it's mostly here just to occupy the space and give me a general idea of what I want in the future. It's really hard for me to conceive and to measure out and build something without having some sort of template first. So I threw this in here just to give me an idea of where I want everything to be and how things are gonna function. I'm gonna show you this and now basically it's just stock storage underneath of the two special at the counter top up here which swivels out. You got a marine seat bracket swivel bracket under there so this kind of poses as a table in a cooking space whatever you want to do. Sink pretty straight forward. When I do rebuild I'll install some sort of faucet in the corner there either a hand pump, non-mechanical one or non-electric one or do an electric pump and just really ball out. This guy also swives all the way around that way you can set up a laptop and lounge out and watch a movie or just have it as a side table if you need. Under here is just storage at the moment. So we got a sink over where coffee maker inverter just some daily. As like I said this is just temporary so like my gray water bin is a gallon jug of water but in the future this will be expanded and quite a bit bigger so I'll be able to have room for not only useful utensils and storage but also nice gray and clean water storage as well. This thing will just get jumped. I'll use that as measurements salvage the bracket swivel mount inside and just rebuild it with nice veneered plywood stain it like I did most of the other interior wood like the bench seat will move onto the bench in the couch position right now. We got a three inch high density foam mat on top which is pretty comfortable. We got storage underneath. This swivel is up you can see the raw wood here and I stained all the wood black up top to kind of match everything else. Nice long piano hinges really add more stability to the function. Three relatively large storage bays now to convert it it's quite simple. I might really do this out of the way. Two hand holds here. Slide that bay out. That's good. That holds out. Back moves up into an upright position to give a few more inches. It's about the size of a twin I think about six feet long so I think a twin might be a little bit longer but I'm only five eight so how it's mounted and everything I got a piece of angle iron running this length here 90 degree angle iron on both sides that actually see here. It's mounted to the wall and the vertical stretch as well as screwed into the wheel well so it's pretty secure. It's like it was a nice base for the bench seat however I will need to mount the wood into this angle iron. As of right now it is not mounted in there just so I can take it out really quick if I need room to live and move in a bunch. So this whole unit actually is in three separate pieces so it's really easy to take out. It's kind of the functional idea behind it is you know it doubles as a bench seat and a bed but within a matter of five minutes you can have it be a complete cargo van again. That's kind of an idea behind the whole van is that opposed to having it be a livable unit it's more of a weekend style camper van so it's it functions as a daily driver and get a group of people in here go to the beach what have you as well as do the night or the weekend in a parking lot or at the campsite. So this is kind of the cargo area. A nice and room roomy for a large toe to cooler something like that. You hit the beach you want to stop today some states or what have you. This falls down. It's a nice cooking surface. We got storage on the other side. It's also open. The store all your junk and wilderness books, plants and all the shelving bottoms come out. So including this one here so you can access this bay down below where I keep my spare uh my tools, my car jack and all that kind of stuff, jumper cables or if you had something long I guess you could take out both and that. See we really have access to this whole length as long as you stick it up in there. So it's on both sides. There's a clean shot of it without anything in here. Pretty basic. Got the speakers in set. No four by six is there. So in the future depends on what direction I go. I like that it's a weekend style camper van that allows me to be very versatile. However I do have aspirations to full-time it either while I'm in school or out of school. So if I do full-time it they'll have to be some more modifications done to make that more feasible. But you know I'm in school right now and so ideally if I do full-time it this would be the best time because I have access to the college campus pretty much at all hours. Bathroom showers Wi-Fi and I can park relatively close to campus and use your Wi-Fi within my van. I don't know about sleeping there but so a lot of the amenities would be satisfied while I'm in school. So we'll see how that goes. I'm on a lease right now but I still have some time left during school. Looking to take it on some pretty sweet trips this summer. It's kind of the idea behind it. It's a nice road trip van. The big V6. It's got an overdrive gear so it gets some decent gas mileage on the highway. A girlfriend and I are planning a two-week trip down to...well we're going down to Cali, Burbank, California for my sister's wedding and then we're heading up for there up to Zion and Southwest Utah and we're taking...I think we're going to be doing about two and a half weeks on the return trip. So we'll hit up Zion and Bryce and all those awesome places down there do some rock climbing if it's not too hot. This is going to be in August and then head up north into southern Idaho to check out. I created the moon and all those other places. If anybody has any recommendations for Idaho because I've got maybe two spots I'm thinking of and we have about a week and a half there so any suggestions in the comments would be awesome. There'll be a link to my YouTube page on this video. Please feel free to subscribe or just check out my other videos or what have you and yeah hope you enjoyed checking out the van. I hope it shows that doing do-it-yourself camper van is possible and relatively easy. All these parts were either recycled or gotten very cheaply. I probably put maybe a thousand dollars into the interior so it's doable. You just have the two have to have the tools and the confidence I guess. Anyways thanks.
