      In a small van not many options, incredible that they could include toilet and shower. Not unhygienic, no one is going to multi task while they prepare food. Babies eat and poop at the same time, they’re fine, don’t worry about how others go to the toilet.

Been watching you two for a long time now, even before Outdoor Chef Life hit 60k subscribers, and now this entire van build. I really love your content, recipes and adventures. I can see the passion you have towards cooking, nature and taking care of the people around you. Keep up the amazing work. The van looks fantastic, especially for a first build. Looking forward to Alaska!

    If you added an extra pulley in the back, right ceiling corner, you could run your bed rope to a lever and it would be even easier to lower and raise your bed.
