Shaiden Valentine what’s your email address? Sorry, I never got into Instagram (just dated myself, right.🤫)! But I want the plans as much as Penta Tonya Fangirl!
@Shaiden Valentine Hi there Shaiden. Your van is AWSOME!!! I have 2 questions for you if you don't mind answering them for me please.... #1. Where is&what kind of toilet is in the van and #2. How much do you charge to rent out your van for a weekend or a week??? Thanks!
That would have to be one of the best van builds I've ever seen. Such a lovely young man as well. I think he would have a very successful career doing van conversions in my humble opinion.
@Shaiden Valentine Everyone in the comments is very impressed with your build so if that was something you'd be interested in doing I'm sure you could make a fortune recreating it for people because vanlife is only going to get bigger in the coming years.
No garage space at all, dude can't take anything big with him. Usually van lifers have a bike (foldable or not) he can't even take that. Pretty build indeed, practical? No fuckin way.
@@flybeep1661 No garage, but a lot more cabinet space. A bike could fit without issue in that long aisle during transit. Don't have to fuss with removing the front wheel to fit it under the bed. Or throw a rack on the back. There's flexibility.
Shaiden Valentine They taught you how to support yourself. To work for the things you want. So many individuals these days aren’t so self reliant. Especially at your age. Good On Ya! Your parents must be so proud.
I've been into the #VanLife thing for just about a month, regularly viewing different Van Conversions on TH-cam. Shaiden's van is hands down, thee best van I've seen and by a lot. Definitely the best layout, best appearance and most well equipped. He has raised the bar.
Been looking at builds for over 3 years now and I can agree. You'll be hard pressed to find one even close to this in that price range. The layout is pure genius yet seems so obvious.
This kid is impressive. Only 23 year old but you can tell he's got than sense of very practical/pragmatic approach to his van build. Thanks for posting.
Damn! This is gorgeous! Great job. I really enjoyed this tour. “I’m only 23, so...” then you show off all the high end touches. Simply stellar. I’m always astounded by the skills young van people have- where did they learn all this stuff and how the hell did they even have time to acquire all those skills-? You’re only 23! Lol
Shaiden Valentine it really shows. The quality, the thought, the details are superb. I hope you’re enjoying your overseas travel. Can’t remember what exotic locations you were going to- Thailand? Anyway, have fun, learn things, enjoy your youth!
Awesome job. LOVE the Murphy bed. Heated floors. Wow. Storage tick tick. Apple didn't fall far from the tree. 23 i owned my first home outright. Age is a number. Hope you loved burning man. Stay safe in Bali, Japan and Saudi Arabia.
Wow!! I’ve been struggling to figure out a van build layout for months, sketching, watching vids, reading websites - and then you drop it right in my lap. Spectacular.
I do love seeing planning, patience and shrewd purchases trump a build costing 3x as much and built by proffesionals, that young man should be damn proud, amazing van.
WOW and WOW. YOUNG and SMART who CREATED a WOW WOW. I watch a LOT LOT of CONVERSIONS for INSPIRATION but this TRULY NAILS IT OVERALL DESIGN SPACE Jarod - BIG THANK YOU for RANDOMLY FINDING this HIDDEN GEM.
I love this! A decent wardrobe too! With a portapotty in the shower and a lagoon table to turn front seats into an extra dinette it would be perfection (to me)
@Shaiden Valentine where was the toilet? Incredible job! Just would have like to see where the toilet was and swivel seat TVs would be super! Hope your trip oversees was great!
I must agree this is one of the best and most intelligent builds I've seen I plan on retiring from my motorsports business someday and doing this and or living on a boat, I'm learning about this life style from watching these videos !! Please keep making more. And if the owner of this van is watching this? All the best of luck and happiness to you. Your journeys ahead seem endless. We must enjoy this wonderful life we've been given !
I, like many who have commented already, have watched a ton of these and this one is my favorite so far. The utilitarian nature of the build, the clean look, everything. and for cheap! good work!!
Shaiden, you are an awesome young man! I believe you came up with the best van build ever & you are so humble & nonchalant about it! Not many young men like you, your parents must be proud! Congratulations & God bless you & keep you in His loving care❣️🙏🏼
This dude has probably the nicest build I've ever seen so far holy crap! So efficient, so much space, it's overall just so smartly done! I need his plan for this build! lol
Inspiring design! I have seen hundreds of vans...this is the one that has stuck in my head over the years and I was glad to run across it again tonight. I wish I had seen this about 20 years ago...not sure I am fit enough to take this challenge on anymore...but I might just try.
Really nice build. I like how he really put some thought into what he could afford now and what to plan for in the future. Delayed gratification shows emotional maturity and wisdom. Bali is great...the entire island, not just the touristy places. Good scuba diving off of Candidasa. Lake Batur is beautiful. Lovina has some nice beaches in the north. Fun times!
Can't believe you didn't talk about his green wall! The image of that is why I am here. Super fab touch in a white box to bring in the green. Loved all the ingenuity. This kid is going places...of course he is, he lives in a van! XO
Even ignoring his low costs , this is my favorite van yet and I’ve watched a LOT of these! I wish he built these for other people. I wouldn’t change a thing!
@@cwr8618 His electric system or the diesel system? BTW I'm just one of those many people looking at these videos but not actually owning one and also not planning to build one in the nearest future 😂
this is the first murphy bed van build I've seen and i'm seriously stoked to add this to my list of must haves! thanks for sharing!!!! Love this layout!
have to bow down to the genius of this young man who is following his dream a 23 years of age. At 23 I didn't have a clue about what I wanted, unlike this young man.
This kid is BRILLIANT & MOTIVATED, and really planned this out WELL!! I'm usual very critical (I like to think I'm just brutally honest); but I can't find any faults with this one, I LOVE this can! I would love to live in this one, it's gorgeous!!!! I also like that need, saves space, well designed!
Shane Dennis > When I can back from almost a year of travelling around Canada doing volunteer work in various northern communities, I stayed in a fancy hotel for four days and the bathroom floor was heated. After a year of winter, to me that was the height of luxury.
Easily the best build I've seen. This is a super well thought out design. If I build a van this will be my starting point. There are some things I would change but that's more about a difference in resources than bad design. For the price point this is exceptional and the things he "splurged' on were perfect. The harder it is to redo later the more it makes sense to spend the money up front.
We finally got a chance to watch through the entire video, Awesome video tour! I can attest to the van and build out as being a brilliant design and fully functional Mobile Estate. 💯
I’m very impressed. This could be more that just a hobby. I think the Murphey beds are very smart. I like this design with the bed in front and bathroom in the back. Very beautiful.
Love this Layout! the only thing I would change is have the shower width-wise at the back and use 2 magnetic shower curtains. angle the shower pan towards the back. Just to have that room when you shower. but aside from that Fantastic build!
Shaiden you seem like a humble well adjusted kid (sorry, young man) and certainly handsome. Safe travels to you and your girlfriend and to you and your buddies. Go conquer the world. Leave your mark but limit your footprint. Peace ☮️
ok I've watched a bunch of these builds - though I'll never live in one myself. This layout is the most unique and works so well. Most importantly he did this high end looking build for an amazing budget. Kid is very enterprising, he should channel his energy in a startup of sorts.
@@lass-inangeles7564 I'm sure it would be harder to clean. Lots of edges where crud can accumulate. But the uninhibited flow of up to 181 kilograms (400 lbs) of fluid rushing forward (Yes I realise that when full it's not going to move much) under brakes is a whole lot of mass to contend with. Perhaps divide into 2 or 3 tanks?
I love this build it is right up there in my top 10 builds. I love how at 23 he has built such a cool and well thought out and together van, and for that price... WOW ... heated floor and all!!! It’s quite a different layout to many other vans. The shower and cupboard at the back and no garage are quite different. LOVED the Murphy bed... that was SUPER COOL. I want to eventually butbuy and build a van and I love the whole couch seating areas that many have that convert to beds but don’t think I’d be a fan of having to put the bed together every night but this bed has ALL the answers!!! Thanks for showing us this Jarrod, SO happy you bumped into him!! 🤩😍
I think the shower behind the wheel well is actually a perfect solution for that awkward little space. I join the praise of others, this is a top van build!
Anyone from San Diego knows where you are when you showed the sunset and the view in-between the 2 vans saying your not going to tell everyone where you are with the one big palm tree. LOL you should also go south a couple miles to really great surf spot parking lot. Plus when you did the out the back door of his van I saw my rental house on the beach.
🤣 I love this beach and lot to chill at during the day. You're right tho there's another great spot down the road. San Diego locals definitely know where I am!
Amazing build! Huge countertop, biggest water tank, full size bed, shower and the largest closet I've seen in any van yet; many other vans lack a shower or have to stuff the clothes in bins. Zero or little compromises in this lay out!
Is there a link to or a brand of the ACTUAL mechanisms that Shaiden used for his Murphy bed. As the ones Jarrod linked to have way too many components that just won’t get used.
Great job! Really amazing that you were able to do this. Lots of technical carpentry and electric. You were able to do this yourself? That's seriously way beyond me but I love the decisions you made on heat, the floor, the layout and batteries! All really really well done!
Thanks for the video Jarrod:) Awesome build...a made-up bed that easily converts into a seating area no fuss. Plenty of power...top shelve lithium & solar. Heated floors & shower, lots of water, storage & counter space. I forgot about the top loading slide out Whytner Fridge. A practical, efficient 4-season camper built for a freedom-loving adventure-seeking full-timer. Sweeeet!
Pretty much as easy as most automobile windows are to break into. Though I have a theory to not only help secure that but protect it and solar panels from weather. Been looking at those roll up storm/security shutters. Have it set up so it rolls down (horizontally of course) right over both. Make sure it can be locked.
I want the plans for this build! This kid has got it Going On!!!
Seriously! He could sell the plans. (Shhh, don’t give him any ideas.) I saved this to my Best Builds list so if I am ever to get out there I can study his build. Time is getting short- I’m 70 year old woman- a young 70- and pretty healthy but you just don’t know as you get older- the invincibility of youth begins to be replaced with practicalities. Like how to make some money quickly to afford the specialist to get my dogs ears healthy and then how to actually get enough to get a vehicle.

3 years of watching van builds and this one just moved into the top 5 tier of all the builds I have seen. Very impressive and a thumbs up 👍
I’ve had to make a playlist for reference when I’m older because Jesus there are some great ones out there
I agree! This follows very closely the plans I've drawn. Plus I just love the shower! Love, love love!
@Shaiden Valentine Hi there Shaiden. Your van is AWSOME!!! I have 2 questions for you if you don't mind answering them for me please....
#1. Where is&what kind of toilet is in the van and
#2. How much do you charge to rent out your van for a weekend or a week???
Thanks!
@Shaiden Valentine I love the Murphy bed, no one sits on your bed or sees your mess.
make that #1. I have been looking at bus and van builds for also about 3 years already and this is the first van that i would live in.
Price-wise, spending $25K for something like this is unreal! These vans are not cheap, even used. Well done.
I live in UK and did a similar van conversion. Costed me £6000 ($12000) total, including vehicle.
@@SSMateuszSS what van did you get and where from? (like eBay or auto trader etc) I've been thinking of doing van life in the uk for a while now
This is one of nicer ones Ive seen. You can tell he is gifted, using his full potential.

Agreed! Great comment, covers exactly what I was thinking. He is very gifted.

HOLY MOLY. I've watched a ton of van build tours, but this layout...this is GOOD. Can't wait to apply all these tips & ideas to my own future build!
I see you like van builds. I will be doing a rour if my just converted van Thursday 6/25 Think you would enjoy it.
This is like a boutique hotel studio apartment, just wow.
one of my favorite vans and such a nice, well-spoken kid too

The toilet slides out into the shower. Check out Shaiden’s Instagram for the van build.

Well done, great design, where did you learn how to do this?

Pretty much as easy as most automobile windows are to break into. Though I have a theory to not only help secure that but protect it and solar panels from weather. Been looking at those roll up storm/security shutters. Have it set up so it rolls down (horizontally of course) right over both. Make sure it can be locked.
Of all of the vans I’ve seen this one has the best floor plan & organization! You did a great job! Makes me want to live in a van now!🥰♥️💕
