In today’s video I feature Edden and Nicole and their van built, called the “concrete oasis”. This camper van is built on the Mercedes-Benz sprinter 2500 series chassis with 170 inch wheelbase. This unique floor plan has a partition wall between the cab area and the living space, a large L-shaped, sectional with dining, above, there’s an elevator bed that usually comes down when it’s time for sleeping and the L-shaped sectional also conversion into bed so this sleeps up to four people. In the middle, it has a split galley kitchen with beautiful finishes lots of pantry storage, wardrobe storage, and a laundry chute. In the rear is a mega massive bathroom.

This is the absolute best I’ve seen. Finally, a bathroom away from the kitchen! Well planned and executed!
Wow, thanks!
The bathroom is right next to the kitchen. 😂
Exactly! - my same thoughts! That's why I love it, plus the interior design is beautiful!!
The people who do these vans have so much talent. The fact that they did this for the first time is amazing.
I thought the same
I have watched a TON of van videos and I have never seen one so classy and liveable. It’s everything you would want.
Like the others have said, this is the BEST build I've seen. They actually have a fully functional layout! A decent size bath & Kitchen as well as living area and then the bed is out of the way. Smart and incredible spatial design and looks AMAZING. Nice job folks!!!!
Wow, thanks!
I prefer tiny homes with a larger foot print but this is the absolute best van conversion I have seen yet. Probably the only van I have seen that wld convince me van life is a viable option.
Great to hear
That is the smartest layout for a van I have seen. I prefer rear baths, but usually they mean giving up a decent bed. I love the idea of having a bed that you don’t have build every time you want to use it or sacrifice your seating if you keep your bed built.
We agree! I have an older airstream camper van that has a very similar layout where the bathroom is in the back the kitchen is in the middle, and the sleeping is in the middle to the front
Seems like quick access to the cab from sleeping area would be good too in emergencies.
I have seen many custom livable vans, But.......... yours is a combination of practical and luxury at the same time. In other words..... It's a Masterpiece on wheels. :)
That is the best bathroom on a van I've seen.
Agreed 👍
The van is probably the best set up of any I have seen to date. Very high end finishes. Love the bathroom. Most Van set up I have seen to date are very confining. And those that are not high like yours you are living on your knees all the time and only two feet of floor space. If you are giving up a home or apartment to live in a van. It makes sense to make it function like a home and not a camper.
Wow, thanks!
Now this is a HOME on wheels! I want this! This exact van.... I love how they made such a small space more roomy and gorgeous.
I want it too 😊
this is one of the best conversion o van I have seen so far.i like he back bathroom idea nd elevator bed i the front. we have been interested in doing something similar when he retires, hopfully next year if he gets tired of working, whcih I hope he does.
So happy you watched this one
It’s honestly the prettiest van conversion I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen people claim they made them look like a home but nothing like this
I agree. It’s the best I’ve ever seen in a van. I would consider a van with a setup like this one. Up until now, vans have been a big no-no for me.
I’ll never watch a conversion van video ever again. No need. This is the BEST.
Happy you liked it. Please come back for more
I've watched this van on more than one site and fall in love with it more every time I see it. I think it's such an ingenious floor plan that it could even be adapted to a tiny home that isn't a vehicle. You two rock. Happy travels❤❤❤❤
We agree!
Are you interested in building vans like yours. Going to retire. Am really interested in this❤
I feel you on this van. It’s just perfect ❤
Same here. Love this van!
Beautiful
So refreshing to see that there are still people valuing proper toilet, showering, and bathroom space.
I absolutely loved this design! This feels like a home. Not a van. Now this is what I’m talking about! Fantastic job!
Glad you like it!
This has got to be the best detailed van layout I’ve seen. Living in it would IMO give you the feeling of being in a home, not a vacation vehicle. Excellent design work guys! Now I could realistically see my self traveling place to place in it.
We agree!
By far one of the most elegant and functional designs I have seen!!!
Yes 🙌
Ive watch a lot of van tours on TH-cam and this build blows my mind, it’s absolutely breathtaking! You have done an incredible job 🎉 it’s my favourite van build ever!🤩👏👏
Wow, thank you!
Obsessed with this build! I have watched so many van tours and there is always something I would change. Not in this one! Absolute perfection.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love the design. I wonder how much it cost to build???
This is it.. finally found it...! After watching hundreds of Van layout... this is exactly how I would want mine to be built... Smart... Great ideas ❤
Glad I could help!
Brilliant build. I think it is perfect!
One of the most inviting vans I have seen.
I would absolutely enjoy living in that space.
Having the shower/toilet in the back makes so much sense and you have given it ample space.
You definitely rate a perfect score
That is a beautiful van build. The living area/bed room looks so minilistic and clean. I love the idea of the seating area/sofa and view you get when parked at a desert or national park etc. Not for forget the elevated bed that takes up less space and the aluminum covered frame that look like wood. The exposed frame gives that industrial warehouse/old cottage look. And the whole idea of moving the bathroom in the back of the van, so you can entry that way in, when you’re cold and dirty after a hike or surfing etc is a great idea. Plus it doesn’t take up space in the living area. It looks so much more roomier with the bathroom in the back of the van. It really is beautiful van build
@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures
probably the best visual design i have seen in a van. fantastic looking van. the shower / vanity design is amayzing.
Great feedback
I have been researching vans for months, watching tons of van tours to get inspiration, and from these sketching an idea in my brain of what I thought was the perfect layout. This van is by far the most impressive I’ve seen, in all aspects. It is beautiful, original, would’ve never come up with something as well-thought, congrats ❤
Out of all the van builds I've ever watched this is still the nicest by far!! Great job guys...
Easily the best van I've seen around. Fantastic layout and design. Good space on all areas, without bumping on anything all the time. Great job and thanks for sharing!
I am happy that you found this Van Tour. More Van Tour on this channel.
If I ever purchased a camper van, this is how I’d do it. The bathroom and shower/garage in the back to keep it separate from living and the partition between the driving area and living is awesome!
Absolutely fabulous! Wonderful job!! What a great design and function together! Well done!!!
Thank you so much!
This is the first van build I have nothing negative to say about. I mean nothing! It is perfect in every way. They covered every thing I would ever want or need in a Van ! It is indeed more like a tiny home you can drive. This is something I would buy if I had the money hands down. Nirvana!
Beautiful. The pull out storage box/outside table is brilliant. It's a great way to make double duty of the storage under the sofa.
This is a phenomenal campervan! The best I have seen. The design, aesthetics, creativity that is displayed throughout is marvelous. It is classy, as well as functional. I am blown away.
Wow, thank you!
This is a real definition of a perfect Van!
Glad to hear that
I love it when the restroom is built in the back. The best van built that I have seen so far.👍🏻
An unusual and creative floor plan. You get a queen bed without blocking the rear doors, and still maintain the lounge, and a full kitchen in the back. You get the huge view from the side door, a nice open entrance, and inviting lounge. I like this concept, not too many people do it. Very nice! All in woodsy, natural hues. The microcement is a new concept I did not know about. It looks like they mix a type of thinset mortar with polymers to get a flexible coating on walls minus the tiles. Pretty clever. Always use polymers instead of water for any cement type or grout coatings. It remains flexible without cracking. That is the secret to tiling an RV - small tiles and polymers in both mortar and grout.
Solar panels are not walkable. That is a marketing gimmick. You may damage the panels if you step on them. They said this about the flex panels when they first came out, and many people ruined theirs. They don't work as well after they develop cracks in them.
34 gals of water is a small tank, esp for two people. I don't see how it can last you 7 days or more.
7 gals x 2 = 14 gals if you both use 1 gal to bathe daily, that includes body soaping, hair wash, rinse. Quite a feat.
If you drink 1 gal each per day water to hydrate, that is another 14 gals per week.
This leaves 6 gals for toilet, sink, dishes, hosing off dirt, etc. A very frugal limit.
I don't see how you survive on 34 gals in one week for two people! Definitely no showers.
My technique for saving water, is to be close to a place with free water supply and finish all my cooking, cleaning, laundry, bathing. Cooking takes up a lot of water. I cook for a whole week, freeze what will fit, and rest is all in containers in fridge. I cleanup all the cookware, finish washing clothes, bathing dog, and especially having a nice shower. I refill my Berkey filter, tanks, and extra bottles. Then head off. Now I can make that 44 gal tank last. I like a short shower daily so that is my main water use.
You really have a lovely home. It feels so tranquil, great lighting, very uncluttered Zen space. Nice to manage that. Very well done. Such a cute couple too!
Appreciate the feedback and the suggestions.
i really like the couch + bed area! i see lots of "transformers" but they seem like a lot of trouble/hassle and this is far more realistic/convenient and a smarter use of space i feel?
They thought of everything & did an amazing job👍 wondering how much something like this would cost😳 They used the best of everything!!! Best I’ve seen so far😍
they said they sold it for 226k USD on instagram, not sure how much it cost to build, they could have made a hefty profit on that, for eg if the whole build cost them 150k for eg including van
Do you know how long it is? @@NoMoreLles
Why don’t any of these builds just state costs upfront
100% the best layout i have ever seen , and stunning inside , love it
Wow, thank you!
Simply the finest van build I've seen so far. My soul needs a van build like this. Seriously.
Thanks, Carolyn
Well done you guys this is one of the best layouts I’ve seen. I’ve been a van builder and homebuilder for many years. Safe travels out there.
I've only ever seen 1 other van conversion ( out of hundreds) that I absolutely loved.. now it's 2!! The space doesn't look or feel cramped. It's so gorgeous in every way possible!! You both knocked it out of the.... the galaxy. I could live in this with ease. Enjoy every moment. It's the journey, not the destination. Love and look after each other well. Cheers from 🇦🇺
We agree!
This is by far the most stunning and clever layout ever. Superb design. The absolute best ever! Well done.
Wow, thank you!
That is an amazing van!! Beautiful design. Superb functionality. Awesome bathroom. I am out of superlatives to describe your creation. Wish you guys a very happy road life!!
Wow, thank you!
This is the best conversation I have seen. It’s simply lovely and livable! I love the back bathroom idea! Can clean yourself off before entering the main area. Well done!!!
Thank you so much!
That was the nicest and most functional van I’ve ever seen. Great job guys!
Thanks so much!
LOVE the extra sink in the shower area. Feels like an actual home bathroom!!! So smart to place shower in back !
this is my 3rd or 4th time watching this van tour. it is one of my all time favorite van builds. it's brilliant and creative. continued travel mercies and blessings.🕊
Wow, thank you!
This is the best RV van I have ever seen. I absolutely love it.
Oh my god, that is the most absolutely best van convert on TH-cam, well done guy's.
Wow, thanks!
They put so much thought into the functionality and eliminate all the negative side of caravan car! Love the bathroom idea how you can showe before you enter the living/kitchen room(good bye to sandy floor!) and the elevated bed for proper lounge space!! I can totally live here💖💖💖
This is exactly the layout I want and will likely build for myself in the future. The problem with most camper vans is that they don't have a 'hang out' space for multiple guests or to just comfortably chill and enjoy the scenery or a movie. This lounge setup with the elevator bed above is the perfect solution to that problem. The elevator bed may be an expensive and somewhat complex feature, but it opens up a world of design options you don't get without it. The only issue I have with this van is the Laveo dry flush toilet. I love the ease and convenience of it, but it does require very expensive consumables, so I think I'd prefer a cassette toilet. This is a stellar design overall. Well done!
Easily one of my all time favorite builds and looks. Well done!
Mine too!
This the cleanest electrical space I have ever seen in a diy camper van and I have seen plenty! 🎉
Appreciate the feedback. Many more camper. Tours here on New Jersey. Outdoor adventures channel.
This is the best travel van I have seen yet, by far. Well done.
This is easily one of the most beautiful vans I’ve seen. Also love the layout. So great.
We agree!
They combined minimalism and sophistication in a way I have not seen done before. And that lovely bathroom at the rear plus the location of the toilet makes this design functional yet dreamy.
So awesome
This is the most hygienic and sensible van build I have ever seen. Excellent job! 👍🏼😁
Agreed. I have watched a lot of TH-cam videos on Class B's, this is the first one I've seen that I couldn't find anything I would change. Nice work, and great video presentation as well.
This floor plan is the best I've seen. Love the bathroom in the back and the elevator bed in the front. The faux (pronounced FO) concrete finish is unique Thanks for sharing your van with us.
Awesome! Thank you!
This is an amazing, livable design. Well done! Love the full bath in the back and how the elevator bed gives such room for work & relaxing, homey living space.
All I can say is wow! I'd luv to see this build in real world. Very interesting. I would like to see how they handle outdoor items such as cycling, etc......😊
You and me both! I think they use a hitch mounted bike rack that swings away
I'd pull a trailer for a garage for long term and have a composting toilet
Ahhhhhhhmazing! One of the best, if not THE best camper van builds I have ever seen!
Appreciate the feedback Glen
This is gorgeous! I would have preferred a bigger kitchen and wouldn’t have put that bench there. Loooove the bathroom, too!
Great idea!!
I’ve been looking at van builds since 2016… and this is my ALL TIME FAVORITE LAYOUT AND BUILD!! ❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️
What a gorgeous build. This van must be long to be able to fit all that in it. Love the living area and the bathroom.
It really is!
WOW.... STUNNING. This has to be one of the best if not the best camper van I've seen. Genius design and build.
Would love to know more about the build details....
Appreciate the feedback
Incredible! Ive viewed dozens of van builds and none of them compare to your design, functionality and decor. Well done!
Beautiful and so innovative! Their first van build? That's SUUUUPER impressive.
Yes they are!
I agree with everyone else. I LOVE this. If you didn’t know it was a van you’d never know it was a van. I’m about to start my build and right now I’m rethinking the entire thing. This is the best conversion I’ve ever seen. It’s simply stunning and the fact that this is their first build is astonishing. They could make a business out of this. Vanlifers tend to go practical and design is secondary. These guys are so talented, this is a design led build that’s extremely practical and useful. I heard at the end that they do consulting for others. I think I’ll have to take them up on that. Great build. Best I’ve seen.
I’m happy you enjoyed it. Check out anandalivingexperiences.com
Awesome van build! Love the use of space and unique layout. 😊
So many vehicles are different sizes, I wish everyone who does videos would give the measurements of the inside space. It saves having to look up which vehicles have what measurements.
Wow 🤩 such a beautiful functional conversion! Very homey indeed! Love it! ❤
Thank you! 🤗
For me, no doubt the best functional + aesthetically designed camper van. The drop down automated bed and the best ever toilet design ever. You guys should be considered gurus in fitting livable spaces.
Wow 🤩
Absolutely beautiful Van. I would buy a van like this.❤
You and me both!
Faux is not fox. It's French. So It's foe. Like Joe but foe
Love this van! The bathroom location is the best!
Yeah 👍
And for $225.000 anyone can have one..
I have a feeling a lot of people commenting think they could pick one up for pretty cheap since it’s not as big as a house 😂
@@AppleseedVendingshould be able to. People are greedy though
Really one of the best planned Van. Wow..love everything. All that one really need.
Happy to hear that
Love this! They must be selling this van; looks empty.
They sold it 💰
Beautiful.
Are they making another one??
Thanks!
I’m happy you enjoyed the tour. I hope it was helpful for you. Thanks for the super.
That is probably the most gorgeous van build I've ever seen - kudos to Edden and Nicole!
WITH KITCHEN SLIDE OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE, IT GIVES IT A DIFFERENT SPACE TO THE VAN. I LIKE IT!
It does!
This is the best van design I have ever seen! Love Love Love!!Beautiful!!!
Wow, thank you!
By far, the best van design I've seen. It has a totally different layout and it seems to work really well, actually livable
Glad you enjoyed it Christina
I've said this before but after seeing this layout, I mean it much more, It truly is one of the best layouts I've ever seen.
It is
The most gorgeous van I have ever seen!!! Congratulations and enjoy the freedom it must give you!
Thank you, Bert
Nope thank you guys!!!!@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures
Absolutely beautiful! The only thing I would add is an awning over the outdoor table so u can still sit outside in the rain.
Great idea!
🔔 UTTERLY FANTASTIC! THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY SELL (OR AT LEAST OTHERWISE MAKE AVAILABLE) THE BLUEPRINTS! 😉
We agree!
The absolute most elegant build I have ever seen. Gorgeousssss! enjoy to the fullest. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, thank you!
They should have a contest called Van Life Winner of the year....this would win for sure. Been watching van life for over four years and this is in my top five vans the best four year. The drop down bed.....awesome put a mosquito net up and enjoy fresh air as you sleep. Second is the slide out that becomes a table outside great idea...luv the massive storage. Third is the shower area...amazing design. That is one comfortable show. The fourth is the seat belts bench design. Always think it is stupid to have third seat in the van. Fifth the solar panels design on the roof
That’s an excellent idea
Best build I have ever seen.
Great to hear
That bathroom is the best. The toilet is the greatest thing ive see. Love ❤️ it.😊😊 would love it totally if it had one pop of colour in the lounge area. Maybe a gorgeous flowering plant. 😊
SUPERB to say the least. Very nice floor plan and love the fabric upholstery.
Thanks a ton
I love this design. The bathroom set up is perfect and the elevator bed is the only way to go in a van.
I’m happy you found this video. Many more cool camper Vans on this channel.
AWESOME VAN… BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST CONVERSIONS I HAVE EVER SEEN !!!
Glad you think so
excellent use of space. Wish you both many happy moments together in the big outdoors.
Us too!
This is one of my favorite Vans! You guys did an amazing job on it! I just Love it! I would live in that full time any day! 💗❤️🔥💕Happy Travels! ❤
Wow, the best van build I've ever seen! This one is perfect! Great job!!!
Far and away the best van build on you tube- you guys are brilliant.
Oh wow 🤩
Por mucho uno de los diseños más elegantes y funcionales que he visto!!!
Oh yes
Absolutely stunning, one of the bes, if not the best I have seen.. Congrats to you both., ❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wow, thank you!
Now this I absolutely love, absolutely love!, all that sitting space.
I would add velcro to the shower curtain to keep it attached to the wall behind and below the shower head. I discovered with my shower that I kept hitting the curtain with my elbow moving it so that there was water everywhere.
