I see two types of YouTube channels about converting vans. One is, as mentioned above, dopey kids, who tend to vlog for a few months then drop out when summer or winter hit since both tend to be not doable in a DIY conversion. What usually kills their dreams is the fact that they jumped into full-timing it without much thought, and no budgets, especially if/when emergencies happen.
The other are people who are doing it as their own home hobbyist projects, or are retired and are full-timing it. There are some truly ingenious designers systems out there, from one person who made a slide in his van for the A/C unit, so it can be inside the van when on the road, then pushed out when parked. Other items have been custom storage additions, clever use of "chest" refrigerators, etc.
I personally am not a good craftsperson. I wouldn't want to build out an empty van. I rather just go for an entry level "B" with everything I need like a Winnebago Travato, and go from there.
