Welcome back! If you're new around here, let us introduce ourselves: We're Kensie and Joey, and just over a year ago we were finishing up our own van conversion. We've now called that van home for a whole year! It's been an incredible experience thus far, and that experience has led us to want to help others embrace this rewarding alternative lifestyle. Just a couple weeks ago, we got started on a brand new van build for a client. We didn't get a chance to film our own van build, but we're making up for that by taking you along every step of this process in our van build series in hopes that we can help some of you DIYers out there that are looking to convert your own van! If you're not already, hit subscribe and don't forget to turn on your notifications so you never miss a video! We appreciate every single one of you!

This week we're showing you how we went about building a fixed bed frame and built in shower in this 2018 Ford Transit van build conversion. These are two things that we don't have in our own van, so there is always some problem solving and "figuring out" that goes on. Sometimes it feels like it takes more time to plan it than to build it, but that's all a part of the process!
Tools:
- Drills:
Materials Used for Bed Frame:
- 2x3 wood studs (secured to 1x3 furring strips that are attached to the frame of the van)
- 2x2 wood studs
- construction screws:
Materials used for shower frame:
- 2x3 wood studs
- Kreg pocket jig & pocket screws:
- construction screws:
- shower pan:
