So far, i think this build is my favorite. I'm a sucker for that huge skylight. To have the full moon shining straight into the van would be beautiful.
the hidden shower execution in this van is exactly what i've been imagining and here it is -- it's perfect! elegantly hidden yet functional . if i ever get to the point of being able to commission a van build, i would build the entire living area of the van around this hidden shower and where my incinerator toilet would need to be located.
I will have seen hundreds and hundreds of van videos and the shower idea is simply brilliant! the best solution ever seen for a van, better than any solution because it is large and does not take up space. exceptional.
Priceless moment at 7:35 when Jarrod looks away, then quickly changes topics to the sky window ;-) ... "It has 200 Ah of lithium batteries..., so you will never have issues with your battery bank..". Joking aside, it's a beautiful build, just a little light on electrical.
Amazing build by an even more amazing human! Can confirm he could totally solve a Rubik’s cube while riding a unicycle. Thanks Abbe and Jarrod for shouting out the documentary🙌🙏
I’ve been drooling over this van on Vanlife Trader. It’s brilliant in so many ways. And stunning. OMG! I had the same thought about the fridge! And you could user be fridge as a footstool! 😂 If I had the money, it would be mine!
Very fun tour, just hilarious! And an awesome, genius build as well. Very aestheticly pleasing. Especially love the original slatting and the hidden shower. And speaking of water, Kirby might be a bit bummed that there was no mention of water tanks, sizes, location, etc. Also, nothing said about electrical outlets, switches, panels, etc. Flooring type wasn't mentioned and whether it was heated or not. That being said, it was still an awesome tour. Thanks for sharing.
Didn’t think I could live without a rear dry bath; however loving the hidden concepts and I could still shower daily!😊 one dream of mine - to have a one unit washer/dryer in my van! Loving the yacht vibe and star gazer! Great job!
The van is really homey, I like this much more than the usual slick modern dentist office look lol I love the huge skylight, he doesn't need over head lights and I love that he has happy plants along the top shelves. I love the big windows and the easy fold out bed. Your co-host is awesome too.
So relieved to see this design working (i.e. shower and toilet design and couch facing the sliding door) as I have this design planned and was worried there might be a reason why people didn't do this. Thanks to Jarrod for all the brilliant van tours they help so much.
0:28 LOL!! You're awkward as hell and I love it. LOL! She's cute! You should have her on more often. It's certainly not a dentist office! LOL! I love this! 5:01, you gotta get her on this channel more often, maybe do a video every 2nd week or something, like.. she has a GREAT personality which is just swell, not like you don't! But she's cool. Oh man, the amount of laughs! LMFAO!!! 10:45 I bet it's 3M Dual Lock or Command strips as some call em. 3M Dual Lock is AWESOME!!! WAY better than Velcro, it's like snapping LEGO's together. Wondering where the water tanks are. Great vid! Still waiting for you to do that catwalk!
Another 95% done van. Cheaping out on the back doors. Nothing beats waking up in a hot/cold location and touching a hot/cold metal door in the morning while in bed.
@@realbhopwood as I built mine myself, I can tell you that I finished the rear doors so they look in line with the rest of the van's interior and I never wake up to a cold or hot piece of metal.
@@LastNameTom Nice post your inspiration for the enthusiasts. I think it's a great niche that doesn't need a $300k budget. Hope to see you rendition soon.
I’m so happy you hired(?) a videographer to shoot this and got really good b-roll footage for this video. It’s gonna bump up your production and get you videos into the major leagues! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
2:57. Thank you for finally , someone finally acknowledging it!! I watch so many van builds and go... thats a drs examination room. A dental operatory lol. She said what i been thinking for years. Like why mmake them like that! I look for the ones that feel homey to get ideas from .
Dude, Abbe Rocks and she builds vans too, she's got great spirit but not to be out done... THAT VAN Rocks it all the way to the Bank, I'm going to build a Box, I have the box just not the time.. but if I could throw fat cash at a van, that one is one of my Fav's second only to SDBuck's (Brandon?) Both of those dudes are Stellar builders and so are a lot of other guys out there Great Stuff man!!
Great video… thanks to you I’ve contacted one of your Guest Van builders, which will result in the first ever Van-Life NFL show on the road to 32… Thank you 🙏 👏
Great tour as always, really like the layout of this van! Very clean aesthetic matched with the soft warm lighting makes it feel like a great space for resting from daytime adventures!
I love the boat-look design on the wall and the skylight. The homey feeling from the lighting is the ambiance I'm looking for; however, the lack of privacy in the toilet area and the encumbrance of the refrigerator would make this a no-go for me. Otherwise, it's beautiful, especially the rubric cube table.
Very nicely done…. Though I’m sure many have possibly mentioned…. The lack of sufficient dual rear door treatment is glaring due to the high level of everything else. Opps…
I really liked the layout. Would want to know more of the details. She said it’s for sale. Has it sold yet and, if so, how much? Knowing would help me as I plan forward.
Hymer Venture S All the makings of. Very nice, wish they had finish the back properly though, it looks raw and a let down to the actual interior. Go check out the Hymer Venture S and youll see what you see here inspired by.
I love this van it is beautiful. I am definitely in the market for a van however I see it is set up more for aesthetics than it is for functionality. I don’t like the fridge. And again only a microwave to cook it?
Great Tour, BEAUTIFUL Van! Sh*t - One wheels from Canada to Mexico?!! Maybe taking my 10 year old Kia Sorento down the Pan American Highway's not so nuts after all....? Although wish I could get an Ursa Minor top for it ( like the Honda Element) instead of a roof-top tent. Can't wait for that docu-drama. Cheers!...from North Vancouver
Where do you put your stuff? Clothing? Cooking gear? Food? This is very nice aesthetically but, I don’t see living in it. It’s like a day van. Take it down to the beach for a day, invite your friends , party, then kick everyone out and go home. Nothing wrong with that… if that’s what you want.
"For being awesome and sometimes awkward"🤣 Had a blast shooting this with you
Abbe you rocked it!! Thanks for doing the tour and keep making all of us laugh with your content
You have a fantastic trunk!
Abbe, you are too cool for this world.😅
Love your energy. Good Friday from London
Is there a video on the bed build?

Amazing build by an even more amazing human! Can confirm he could totally solve a Rubik’s cube while riding a unicycle. Thanks Abbe and Jarrod for shouting out the documentary🙌🙏
❤❤
Still making him do that in a video 😂
The interior of this van looks to be inspired by the HYMER Venture S. Awesome build!
yes
Absolutely! funny that she said he came up with that slatted look all by himself - awkward!
Yeah, it’s beautiful but it’s an absolute blatant rip off.

She's one heck of a character this one 😂
Finally someone is doing a larger size shower in the door frame, I'm going to have one that's the full size of the door 😎

Agreed!!
Where get in contact with a gal like that?! Supercool.
I was going to post that exact comment, then I saw that you already did. 🎉
I agree! ✌️

I’ll change it in the next van. Thanks for the feedback
Imagine how bad it is to touch a cold door, really?
Hands down the best build I've seen yet. Very nice!
Killed me with the toilet 😮

Thank you. If I could afford to have this always trust me I would. It’s something I’m working towards though!
@@JarrodTocci I’ll be videographer if you can help me figure out how to get a built out van lol can’t find info anywhere
Love the inner windows detailing and the sky light. Very special.
Best words of wisdom ever❤ You only live once! ☮️
That One Wheel trip sounds excellent
The hiden shower is the most clever idea that I saw in vans. Also the bed is very nice system, his is one of the best
Great van build. My favorite parts are the shower and the windows.
I like how she explain things

Sounds awesome!
what an amazing person, lovely and smart. there is passion there. Nice van and video.thanks
Congratulations! Nice video and nice work!!! Beautiful van!!
this is a beautiful rig .. I'll never own one much less see one live ...
I have a hidden shower in the same place in my Transit. Although my shower has a separate shower head and mixer.
Abbe is such a cool character and she brings a very cool vibe to the video!
Hell yeah, Abbe. When you gotta go, you gotta go! Straight up scowl, lock eyes and assert dominance on these fools in the bike lane.
Jajajajajaja a mi se me cortaría la descarga🤣🤣🤣
Your Van Tours are Entertaining.
Thank you 😊
Cleanest build I’ve seen yet!
My favorite VAN LAYOUT. ❤❤❤❤
That skylight, then the vented rear door window! 🤯♥️🙏
Great tour as always, really like the layout of this van! Very clean aesthetic matched with the soft warm lighting makes it feel like a great space for resting from daytime adventures!
What a great build
Nice Guest and Smart. Dream Van!
shes adorable
Have to give a like just for the Eye Contact 😳
Oh shit, this van is the most liked post on r/vanlife !
I love Shane's latest build, but I also love how open this one is!
I love the boat-look design on the wall and the skylight.

abbe's amazing! best tour ever!
Awesome build, especially liked panelling. The host was totally fantastic, really made video!!.
This was so weirdly pleasing to watch, lbvs! You & Super Van Blondie should do this oftern for kicks 😂
I agree about the fridges sliding out to make it easier to access.
Would love to see Abbe give us a tour of her van.
lmao, yes
Loveeee that there's no overhead lighting!!! Mine doesn't either...I couldn't!
She seemed fun to talk to!
She’s great
I love the slanted windows and stargazer!
Also, if the fridge came out, you can put pillows on it and lounge 🎉
Omg this design is beautiful
Jarrod trying to shoot his shot..lololol
Oh goodness no 😂 just wait until some bloopers come out
Love the lighting.
Absolutely beautiful but I think there's a lot of wasted space up top with all those plants occupying the shelves.
Very nicely done…. Though I’m sure many have possibly mentioned…. The lack of sufficient dual rear door treatment is glaring due to the high level of everything else. Opps…
Beautifil window set-up.
I love this tour ! Lol
LIKE THE TWIN BENCH IDEA.
Beautiful 💓
Abbe I love your energy 😍
One excellent van and one really nice and funny girl!
Ooo. Excellent.
Respectfully, she reminds me of Hawk Tuah girl! lol. Very bubbly.
😂
Abbie has such a Dope vibe.
This is one of the lesser practical builds I've seen, but there's no denying it looks awesome.
Amazing!
Great van
She’s awesome!
Kirby sounds like quite the karacter.
I really liked the layout. Would want to know more of the details. She said it’s for sale. Has it sold yet and, if so, how much? Knowing would help me as I plan forward.
When a Gen X meets a Gen Z haha this was fun to watch
haha, I love her already xd
Very nice build. Good job!
This is the first bed that is almost as quick as mine. Maybe I ll put this into my next one. depending on the layout
I could be wrong but I do believe I saw a real-life chalkboard wallpaper on a show before
It’s out there, and they make paint too. I use the paint a lot in my builds
@@JarrodTocci actually yeah it was the paint that I saw not wallpaper
I m making eye contact now while ....... I am on 🚽..... 😂
Hymer Venture S All the makings of. Very nice, wish they had finish the back properly though, it looks raw and a let down to the actual interior. Go check out the Hymer Venture S and youll see what you see here inspired by.
Finally a real life example of shitting where you eat😂😂
The windows shape design was already applied to the hymer prototype van which its already in production on a Mercedes van
Go back and look when Kirby did this style and see it’s before that. He’s been doing this style of van for years 🤷🏻♂️
@@JarrodTocci good for him !!!!!
You see it a lot on boats, which is likely where he got the idea.
One of 80k gave her another chance🎉
This video was very entertaining
That’s so kool 👍🏽
"so ahh... what's your plans for tonight"
I love this van it is beautiful. I am definitely in the market for a van however I see it is set up more for aesthetics than it is for functionality. I don’t like the fridge. And again only a microwave to cook it?
Great Tour, BEAUTIFUL Van!
Sh*t - One wheels from Canada to Mexico?!! Maybe taking my 10 year old Kia Sorento down the Pan American Highway's not so nuts after all....? Although wish I could get an Ursa Minor top for it ( like the Honda Element) instead of a roof-top tent. Can't wait for that docu-drama.
Cheers!...from North Vancouver
Nice Van.😍
All the windows that you can't open dump. Plus all the cold ice that will just put ice all over the van
Abby did friggin great. Be cautious of uptalk.
Definitely should come out in slides
Where do you put your stuff? Clothing? Cooking gear? Food? This is very nice aesthetically but, I don’t see living in it. It’s like a day van. Take it down to the beach for a day, invite your friends , party, then kick everyone out and go home. Nothing wrong with that… if that’s what you want.
Oh, Tocci... Couldn't you convince that blond to try that shower for us, man?
But of course she had to simulate toilet business...
