    This is the only design i saw that looks actually spacious. 2 people can actually enter the van n not walk sideways just to reach the bed. Plus not a lot of adjustments on screws or panels or what not just to be able to sit or use a table. Its convenient and clean. Everything is well thought of!

  • @Chuubie
    @Chuubie 4 ปีที่แล้ว +63

    Good Tips!:
    1. For their electric build, they definitely recommend Lithium batteries for space saving and better power output. A lot more expensive but worth it.
    2. State Farm was the only company that would insure their custom build as is!
    Beautiful couple, wish them luck! 🌈

    Loved the plants and how neat the inside looks. I think it’s a smart choice to have less counter space but a shower instead. I think it’s an easy fix to have a foldable cap on top of that laundry storage. It can fold out to have more space to sit on.

      Beautiful conversion. I love the fact that you went all electric. I lived on a sailboat for a few years and had propane. It made me really nervous to have the tank 20 feet from where I slept even though it was outside in a proper propane Locker. I see van conversions where people are sleeping on top of the propane tank. They don't explode very often but they do it's game over.

I feel like a comfortable place to get clean is more important to me. Maybe fit a little dinette for me to eat my store bought food or do some work on the computer.

    This is one of the BEST van builds I have ever seen! All the "creature comforts", seems like it would be fairly spacious, did not give me claustrophobia!

I would not want to fiddle with setting up my bed every single night like so many van builds.

      Hey Beth, spot on! They're impressive and delightful. I'm on a strict budget saving money for a possible future van-life. I have some other concerns, since I'm severely disabled and use a power wheelchair. But I do very well with a small space and everything within reach. My main concern would be ability to swim 3 x a week. Since most YMCAs and gyms don't do day passes, or they are very expensive...at $25/day and needing 3 x a week, van life would cost me $300/month for swimming alone. Well, I'm sure a solution will present itself, when the time comes. But I spend 20/24 hours in bed, so having a bed on the road is perfect! Beth, what would your van life look like, what kind of freedom? Cheers, and greetings from NM! - Kaatje

      @jass singh If the dog gets washed weekly in the shower and brushed daily it can't be that bad? Other cultures have lived in close proximity with their animals such as hunter gatherers, sheep herders.
      People have domesticated animals by first having wolves with them. Much like cats sleep on top of their owners. Although with cats, it seems even my little kitten owns me! Domesticated animals also provide warmth before there was central heating.
      I often notice that dogs don't smell nice even if their owners live in houses...bad dental health, no daily brushing and lack of occasional bathing seems to be the culprit. Cats seems to clean themselves better, so dog owners just need to give their puppies a little extra TLC whether they live in a house, apartment, tiny home, van or a boat!
      Cheers, Kaatje.

    A quick tip. Check out the larger chain truck stops like Luvs and Pilot for showers. They are kept nicely updated and cleaned in between people. They also have clean towels and wash cloths that aren’t paper thin. If you get gas there also, they have a card to accumulate points and get free showers. We use them when going on road trips.

    Oooo, I love the hidden door between the cabin & the back. I am converting a bus. This is nice, I love the bench & hidden storage near the Cab door.

    This is the best van conversion I've seen! Very little I'd change for my personal preference but other than that, you have it all covered and it looks comfy, spacious and practical. Love It!

    This van is just fantastic. It got all you need to survive.
    40 gal of water plus toilet and bath and queen size bed. That's just something that you can have to live without relying outside.
    And very spacious considering that it has everything that you could ever need

    That was a good question on the insurance. I’m 20,000 into a build now and hoping I’ll be able to insure it when it’s done. I inquired at the start and was told I needed a sink and sleeping area. I’ll be calling the agent in two more weeks and crossing my fingers.

    There's a million versions of "get you someone who looks at you like" but this one truly takes all. Get you someone who looks at you like Blondie looks at Curly! They're adorable. Many happy years together!
    Edit: just learned they've split up. GET AT ME, BLONDIE, I LOVE MAKING PEOPLE SMILE.

    putting the condenser under the van is what we are doing because we think that having it under the van where it is naturally cooler will help it be more efficient....So good choice on that....

      I LOVED that they planned for a future puppy, taking into consideration its needs and space. Well done!! Goldies are perfect companions, easy going, basically a rug. What a lucky pup, always going for a ride and having adventures!
      Sweet Oliver! Have a nice adventure with your Mommies!

    Love the rope trim. Very well thought out. In my summer cottage 1/2 bath I have a small ledge around the room at the eight foot height break with a 1" hemp rope in place of crown. Looks very nautical. There will be rope trim in my build! I will be building it in my head and jotting down clever ideas, sketching floor plans and elevations, and sourcing the right vendors to get the best bang for the buck. I have remodeled and restored older homes and remodeled and flipped houses enough to be able to amaze people with the materials that can be salvaged or re-purposed. I am just starting a box truck conversion on a 1986 F600 /w D,etroit diesel, 5 spd with 2 spd rear end.. Long story about that... I need to start a journal...
    Hope to see you out there one day. Billy B

    We had like two box springs made because moisture will start. The box springs raise up like crates & you have like a one inch box spring that is made and sits then on top the crates if you will, then your mattress sits on top the box spring. We haven't had a problem since. Love you're van the soft colors and not cluttered just pretty and simple. Also you are the first 2 that I have seen ever talk about moisture issues with a bed. So I know a lot of others will take away from this video. 👍😃

    How refreshing to see a nice clean build, with smart, minimalistic design, not STUFFED FULL TO THE BRIM with STUFF. When people stuff their van to the max, it feels claustrophobic and gives me massive anxiety, and feels like they missed the entire point of VanLife.

    Best design I have seen. I must have a bathroom with a shower and toilet and their bathroom is great. Love the kitchen area and use of electric appliances. They avoid the usual clutter and overstuffed drawers and cabinets you often see. It looks absolutely great.

    I really like this layout. I love the closet in the drawers next to bed and doggie space. I also love that with the windows you can see outside and feel like you being in nature. Most people seal all those up. I really enjoyed build design.

    I always like this minimalist design. Very sleek. And i like the color combination of the interior (white, beige, light gray). Though you might wonder how come it’s very spacious but when try to check all the spaces for the things are hidden in lockers/drawers. They really maximized these small spaces to be able to have a spacious “bedroom/kitchen/dining/whatever!”👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
