Stealth Van Tour // Low cost // Ford Transit Connect // Self Build

Great job, that is what van living is all about, why people want to fill vans up with everything they have in houses amazes me, van life is about getting away from all that stuff.

Lovely van stealth campa van

Are these reliable vans

This video popped up on my line for no reason but I like it. The only thing I would add is a C02 meter just in case, you sleep in a relatively small space and believe me, you won't notice rising levels of dangerous C02 until it is too late.... nice build !

I camperized my connect, but did not insulate or put up siding inside. It just makes a place for mold to grow, and since I camp where it dosen,t go below freezing, don,t need insulation.

We’re did you get the camp bed from🤷🏼

Using a camp bed...genius! Why re-invent the wheel.

Hi. I just bought a 2013 and love it. Would you happen to know where I might be able to get a used foldable passenger seat like yours? As far as I know, they don't have them here in the U.S..Thanks.

I'd have to pack things much more neatly. This would drive me nuts.

Nice vid! What is the mpg of your van?

Have you had any issues with your Connect having leaks? I have a 2011 version and discovered the passenger footwells were wet. I ditched the factory flooring and it's bone dry now, so the hunt is on to discover where the water got in? I've read that Transit Connect are notorious for leaking like sieves!?

Love the insulation covering for the cab area! Very unique idea!

CAD designed interior. i learned something new. nice van. good job.

This is perfect for camping and short breaks, everything you need and nothing you don't.

Bro, sort it out.

Do you have any build videos of the connect?

Great video, . . . and when I tell people it can all be done for around £1,500 max, they don't believe me . . . 😁🚐

Camping in an insulated,, unassuming little Van,, Luv it

Hi what is your ventilation solution, I may have missed it on the video

Great UK video and nice shorts too

You cute

I knew you'd be english from the first line of that description haha. Great vid, I'm looking to buy a transit connect to convert

Fan bet problems

Amazing simplistic "conversion", thank your for sharing (I have a similar van, a VW Caddy, in a similar climate in Ireland)

Really great job! Did you have to change your insurance or declare it now as a mini camper?

Great job. Considering getting one of these for a similar reason… nice to see Minch common as well 😂😜

This is just perfect for camping !! I think is great for 1 person camping

Is it worth insulting when we are getting heatwaves

that is the way I need find out too. just use simple bed frame and easy camping thing and add other necessary items one by one . very good

Super Car ... Really. Simple and Stealth. So i want this too.

Ditto D Jackson...........Thank you and well done CG.

nice job, didnt catch were the ventilation cost was spent?, not a big fan of well insulated vehicles with poor ventilation to the outside, me and my wife woke up one night staving of air after sleeping just in my car one night with the windows closed having spent most of the oxygen inside the vehicle, ventilation as it is in a house, is important in a van too.

If you want to be even more stealthy, do as we van drivers do. Leave the cab a bit messy. Put the high viz vest on the back of the drivers seat. Leave maps and various bits of detritus on the dashboard along with a soft toy or two. I have stealth camped in 'very' public places using these techniques and have never been disturbed.
I would think about kit that folds away like buckets/toilets, washing up bowls etc. Then about a week before you go, make a list of the basics you need for your trip and pack it so it's ready. Over the next few days lose some items eg: 3 spare pairs of knacker crackers instead of 4. Personally I wouldn't use a camp bed, they are way too unstable. I made a rock and roll bed out of pallets and scrap wood and it works a treat and is removable too.

I bought my trans connect new shortly after they came into the US. did a lot of traveling in it and then sold it which was a huge mistake. Sure wish I had it still. Like the work you are doing on yours. And the mileage is impressive. I just got home from a camp trip with family. I have a ford escape now and back seats out for room to sleep. It is ok but miss my trans connect. It was gas and when I first drove it got tons of questions. Now they are much more common to see.

Very good informative video! Brilliant

You Don't have a tv

How tall is the bed?

최고의 캠핑카 입니다

I have a 2011 connect can you tell me we're the gear oil dip stick is please love your van mine is white not as clean as yours but I just want it to bring my dog camping and to the beach lots of love from Dublin Ireland ❤

I love how you have done your finishing! Thanks for sharing... I'm sure you've seen the flat folding passenger seats - Any idea where I can order a couple of scrapped ones online?

Hello again, you know the charger thing you bought, does it have a name and where did you buy it. You seem to be there person I'm most influenced by but the connect I've just bought is a SWB,. Thanks.

Hello, why did you veer away from putting a skylight in there, for air. Thanks for your efforts.

Utilitarian!

Really cool!

One word BRILLIANT xxx🤗😀

Impressive! I like this little van. Looks ideal!

The wall is actually worth it, when you travel in colder climates..
I didn't want a fixed wall, but might rethink it for later. First I need to finish my build, travel with it, then I can fix things for the next trip. 😉

Super useful video. Love you ❤️

Nice build

This is perfect a great job
May I ask what class of vehicle it’s licensed as?
