Really good. I am 6’ tall and in my 2013 TC, I just move the seat back forward, put a pillow behind it, all set. Don't have to slide the seat forward, at my height. I love the 2013. Everything is just right. Here in Arizona, you can drive all over BLM and State land on dry dirt roads. What a camper!

Absolutely! We have seen some other Transit Connect van builds who have done it that way. We have also seen some builds that just made the entire back of the van a bed and had storage underneath it with nothing hanging from the ceiling. We actually considered that type of build but then found ourselves gravitating to the layout we chose. We liked the idea of having a work space, couch, bed, etc. It's really all about preference :) Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it!

Haha It is a small space for sure but can be surprisingly roomy! The cabinet that we built everything off of from Lowe's is 30 inches wide by 30 inches tall and 12.75 inches deep. In between the wheel housings on the floor, the van is 6ft by 4ft but the van curves out and we are able to get a little bit of extra space past the wheel well on the floor and with the curve of the van. With the cabinet, we extended the side out a little bit to fit the curve of the van and around the wheel well so the cabinet is now a little bit wider that the original 12.75 inches. Hope this makes sense! You can see the curve of the van and size in relation to the cabinet a little better here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/0nyrnpaNmKB6l34 Thank you for watching!

Yes, pretty much lol We like to compare it to being like a tent on wheels. It doesn't have a lot of amenities but gives us a way to get places and a place to sleep for the night which is all we can ask for in a van this size!

I beg you to add as you already give dimensions in imperial system dimensions in metric system, the rest of the world (without Liberia and Myanmar) will thank you.

Thank you for the suggestion, we have added the measurements to the description of the video and in the subtitles of the video. Unfortunately we are unable to edit/change a video once it is uploaded to KZitem to have the measurements pop up on the screen. We will do better with giving both sets of measurements going forward! Unfortunately we just didn't think to do so because we do not use them. Lesson learned haha Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it!

Doable bed, but it cannot be comfortable. My wife and I need a King size bed. I guess van life may not be for us 🤔

Micro van life may not be for you but there are plenty of larger vans that may be more to your liking! Don't give up on the dream just yet :)

Do you buy clothes too small for you as well? Why not just buy a slightly larger van? Don’t get it at all, this just screams we built this tiny thing we don’t fit in just to get KZitem views.🙄🙄🙄

I drive and sleep in small european hatchback because it gets 80 mpg avrenge (2.9l/100km) It's suitable for one person and less cost mean longer vacations ;)
