You guys are outstanding examples of human kind, both human and kind and what you've achieved with this whole build transcends ''just'' building a home, it feels like the home built up the people as well. I wish you that which ever road you've taken in life, you keep both the beauty and beating of this and probably other joint creations as the ultimate evidence of knowing there's someone in life you can do anything with and for. A beautiful pact you've made by just doing all in your power to make the other one burst with a feeling of pride, admiration and strength of how huge you both are. I don't know you at all but to me you're irrefutable.
Based on van tours I have watched during last 7 years, this bedroom layout is the best I've seen. It's brilliant idea to use one side as "floor to ceiling" storage area and room for technic. It gives the additional "day sofa" area as you showed here. You could install a small led projector to ceiling or door and have a "Van Cinema" against the doors on the other side. Installing fridge under the bed, it leaves more space for kitchen which is usually smaller in lengthwise bed arrangement, great solution again. One small idea: It could have been possible to use the very front of the driver side cabinet as space in bathroom for a cabinet with mirror and small sink under it (the place shower is now). Brilliant van, concrats!
Thanks Timo!! Having the bed turn into the day sofa really makes us feel as though we have two unique and separate hang out areas! Love the idea for a sink! Thanks for watching the tour and sharing your kind words 😊
This is the second or third time I've watched this video. You do a fantastic job of presenting your home to us. Your enthusiasm really reels one in, and the attention to details, like a soap dispenser, is just one of the touches that makes your build special and inspiring. You have every right to be proud of what you've built! Thank you for sharing your home.
Wow, thank you! I'm glad you noticed the small details! We honestly think that those little touches make each day so much easier in the van, which then makes the whole experience more pleasant! Thanks for watching :)
Great question! One of the last projects for the van was getting custom window shades made. We took our leftover Thinsulate insulation and some reflectix and combined them with Sunbrella marine fabric. We made the outside black and the inside grey. Magnets hold up the driver, passenger and rear window shades. Fibreglass battens help support the windshield shade as well as the sun visors. The remaining two windows that we installed on the side of the van use a pressure fit which works well! We love them, they do a great job of adding privacy and work well to insulate the interior 😊
@@daviddarlingauthor on our latest video (th-cam.com/video/4L3RUszNGs8/w-d-xo.html) at 15 minutes and 20 seconds you can see what they look like if you want 😊
Wow, thank you! We realized we really needed to focus on utilizing every square inch if we were going to travel full time in the van! Thanks for your kind words!
Fantastic. Anyone who could fit a wardrobe, not just a teeny weeny wardrobe, but a very spacious one, together with a shower, sitting room area for 4, definitely steals the show for me. This is what I call a complete build! Lounging area on the bed is an awesome idea! I thought since you didn't have cushions in the sitting area, that would be missed. But you made up for it with the bed. It's perfect. I could always add extra space for shoes, in the garage! Thanks for sharing your well designed van with us. Love it and love you!
Thanks Eby for commenting and for your kind words!!! You might enjoy an aspect that didn’t make it onto the video; along the entire length of the garage drawer are metal baskets that we put all of our shoes in 😊 lots of shoes 🤩😎🥳
Hi guys, i love your beautifully crafted van! The most important thing in my eyes is not about the van details but simply about the fact that you can live a dream many people dream of. Hope you have much fun living it! Take care.
Thanks Mike! We went all in with this plan, and it was/is scary as all heck to follow your dreams. We are pretty convinced it’s worth it; we feel like we ‘lived’ more in the past year than the previous four combined!! Take care as well, thanks for your message!
I am blown away by how well you have not only maximised the space but also made it ergonomically efficient and inviting. Cant wait to see your adventures
Thanks Phil! We took a lot of inspiration for the cabin design from sailboats, and some of the technical setup from the Sea King. We truly love being inside our little land yacht on wheels!
J'ai reconnu l'accent Québecois des le début. Plusieurs éléments dans le vidéo m'ont confirmé. J'ai pas fini de l'écouter, mais je vais y revenir, car les bancs avec ceintures à l'arrière, c'est génial!!
Love all the attention to details! That hanging closet is genius! So fun to finally see the whole thing. What an amazing accomplishment to envision this and make it real!
Great build! I was really impressed with the drawer system for your silverware, and how one drawer front really hid two drawers. Your system monitoring board was one of the best I've seen, and it's something I'd copy for my own planned build - well-spaced and labelled. The hanging closet was a first - amazing. You obviously put a lot of thought into your build and it shows. Thank you for sharing your build!
Glad you liked it! We reached out to an electrical pro to complete the electrical between the battery and the panel; we felt it was an investment of reliability that was worth it for us! Are you working on a similar project? Thanks for watching!
It’s very smart the bed is not full width, it’s very very smart what you did with that space, even using it to claim more storage space from the garage. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
classic Canadian beauty right there! Van's a beauty too :) Seriously tho, really nice build out, superb presentation, the enthusiasm is too cute haha. Congrats and thanks for sharing!
The only thing that is better than the van is your energy! You guys did such a great job. I love all the details that suit your lifestyle. Enjoy your adventures!
Thank you! 😊 Today felt like one of those days where it really seemed like our home: we had a morning ski, a great breakfast, worked all day, then a night ski and a bit more work tonight with a delicious home cooked chilli and cornbread!! Thanks for your kind comments!
You guys did such a beautiful job! My favorite element is still the drawer behind the seat! And we love that you covered the fridge. You've perhaps inspired a new project for our build!
Love this van - simple and manages to look spacious even though it has wet room, kitchen with oven, and full bed. I like the dimmer lights in each section. Also what a lovely couple!
Thanks J Fox! We were surprised at how adding furniture to the van actually made it feel bigger then when it was empty, because it was functional! Thanks for watching!
Wowza your van is massive! I have a little 1988 Chevy van that I'm moving into this year and I love watching videos like this to get me inspired for my move in! Thanks for the inspiration! Love and blessings!
Oh amazing!! How’s the build going? If you are in the middle of construction just know that we are sending positive vibes and believe in you!!! Self builds challenge us in the best ways! Thanks for checking out our van!! 🚐😊
@@KrystaNorwick The build is going great I think? lol Ive never used a power tool before so its probably not going well at all but to me I feel like a pro lolol I'm putting a shower under the floor under a trap door.
This van is an xcellant build! One of the best. For once it's nice to see zero bikes, JK. Gear drawer is awesome. I really like the vans that have the 4 or 5 seating up front. But and this is a BIG one. Has no one ever let you know that storing potatoes and onions in the same place ? Apparently each gives off the best gas to enable the other to spoil soonerl Hopefully you go through them fast enough. Great job. Many happy miles of exploring this wonderful country.
Wow, the power of social media!! No one has told us, and yes, the potatoes do spoil faster than normal 🤣 we’ll find a new home for them today!! Thanks for sharing that info!! We appreciate your kind words about the van design! Thanks for watching!!
Job well done Brian I love your new van conversion it's perfect I'll be sure to adopt your van design into my Transit van build this year. Thank you so much for sharing your new lovely home sir.
I'm glad you like it! It is so compact and functional! We even like turning the bathroom light on at night with the bathroom door closed- it gives a really nice aura of light!
I've watched so many van designs for inspiration into my own build. I designed pretty much exactly what you have built here before watching your video, how crazy is that! It's so nice to see that the concept works before I've started my build. Amazing work
Thank you!!! There were times where we definitely thought we might not finish the project, but now, after a few months of travelling in it we are so glad we built it ourselves!!!
Hey Anna!! Great to hear from you again!! We are happy to report that after the past few months we’ve confirmed that tiny house living is not only doable but great for us 😊 How are your projects? Hope all is well!
Love it! May I offer a tip? If you store your potatoes and onions together the ethylene gas from the onions will spoil your potatoes faster. For longer storage, keep them apart. But you might not store them long enough for it to matter. 😊
I loved it 😍... it would be interesting instead of the car seats in the living room to put a bench seating because it would be possible to put the pot holder inside putting a sliding system inside the bench seating, freeing up space for showering.😉
Glad you liked it! Yes, I agree the bench seat might allow for more storage. We just knew we wanted a seat with seatbelts for driving passengers, so that's why we chose that route!
Love your van build!!! It is so cozy and inviting. Love your bedroom design. Haven't ever seen one side built all the way down for hanging clothes and a cozy space to chill in, lol. Happy travels to you both. Enjoy your home on wheels. Its a beauty💜
Nice touch with the closet & droors, but I am a little surprised you don't have a bigger fresh water tank. You did a great job maximizing storage while still keeping that open concept feel.
Thank you! Ya ... I wish we had a bigger fresh water tank. I think we thought we were getting 30 gallons, but it's only 20. We have to fill up every second day if we are having showers. It's not ideal, but we have gotten used to it.
I like your build .Very nice .But that heater might not sound loud in the noise of the day but come the still of the night might be kept awake by the constant metal hitting metal within the pump .If mounted inside van then might consider insulating in its own box or a new pump that has been out now .
Hey Jesse!! Great point about the heater, placement is very important for noise considerations. We didn’t highlight the heater placement fully in the tour, so I’ll add some details here: the heater is contained within its own cabinet, and the hose and cabinetry is insulated for noise and heat reasons. The pump itself is mounted under the van with rubber shock mounts, and the exhaust is routed as far away from any windows as possible to avoid any exhaust noise or fumes from entering the cabin. All of this makes for a very cozy sleep inside 😊. Where do you mount your heater? Thanks for watching!!!
White is the best for reflecting heat and easily color matched for scrapes. If you are 6 feet tall or more you need to hi roof. It will reduce gas mileage and increase wind buffeting in cross winds. The extra height does make it feel more like a room. The extended length can create parking difficulties.

Very, very proud 😊😊😊🚐 Thanks!!!
It’s crazy how that van really isn’t that big but after all that you have done it loos soo much bigger!! Nice job! ❤️👍🏽
Thanks Crystal! We felt the same way! The more functional the space the larger it felt!
Such a remarkable build! Great job!
Thank you so much!
One of the best. No need to ask anything. By reading the comments, all questions were answered.

One of the better lay-outs I've seen. What do you do to close off the cab at night? Curtain? Window covers? What about the other windows?
Great question! One of the last projects for the van was getting custom window shades made. We took our leftover Thinsulate insulation and some reflectix and combined them with Sunbrella marine fabric. We made the outside black and the inside grey.

Thanks so much, Deb!! The details really transform the space and how we use it!
Great build! I was really impressed with the drawer system for your silverware, and how one drawer front really hid two drawers.

It’s very smart the bed is not full width, it’s very very smart what you did with that space, even using it to claim more storage space from the garage.

Thanks Kerima!! 🙏
Very clever and thoughtful design design. One of the best I have seen. Thanks for showing us your little slice of Heaven

Hopefully by the end of March! Still searching for the right deal, but got some trips planned over the coming weeks.

It’s a nice build. I would choose the AWD version and a different color then white and go with the mid roof. 👍
Good choice! Can I ask why you'd personally prefer the mid-roof?
White is the best for reflecting heat and easily color matched for scrapes. If you are 6 feet tall or more you need to hi roof. It will reduce gas mileage and increase wind buffeting in cross winds. The extra height does make it feel more like a room.
The extended length can create parking difficulties.
