Ok, I never do this… but, I was in Nashua Joann’s a few weeks ago. There was a guy looking at some black fabric and I asked what he was making. He said he was doing a van build out. He was such a chill guy and had a cool beard 😁. He told me had already done a van build out but that one was rear-ended. I told him I watch tons of van builds on YouTube.

I can’t stop thinking about this guy. I want to find him and hang out with him and help build out the van. Like strictly platonic. I just dream of converting a van and can’t do it myself because I wouldn’t even know where to start… so I don’t have one yet and don’t know anyone else that’s doing one.

If you know this guy or if you are this guy, let me know. I’m kicking myself in the ass for not being like “can we hang out?”. So many regrets.

I honestly wish you luck, but you say you have no idea how to get started?

Obviously the first step is to get a van. Duh. ;)

And then watch YouTube videos about converting said van.

I guess that could be the first step.

Could be if videos inform viewers of problems to look for when shopping for a van.

Either step could be done first.

See, now your confusing the issue and OP will never get started.

Obviously I could buy a van, but then what? I need to be taught things so I know I’m doing them correctly, or my anxiety takes over and I give up.

YouTube is just full of finished vans, but why is is so wrong to want to connect with someone who’s actually doing this?

I never said it was wrong......I was making a joke.

You’ll have plenty of time to smoke doobies when you’re LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!

u/Dekkars you and your wife were working on a van build out earlier this year, if I remember correctly. Do u know any other van conversion enthusiasts that might fit this description?

Wow - good memory!

There are a few others that I know of converting vans too... But everyone I can think of has moved to warmer climates!
