    The best thing about that bed is if you’re entertaining nine other people and you want them to get up and go home, you just start lowering the bed on their heads

    I think the hydraulic beds are the only way to go. I absolutely love this build. The wood details are absolutely gorgeous and give the van so much character, making it look like a home. The only thing I would do is add a wall with a pocket door to separate the cab. I can picture how stunning that would look with the wood paneling.

    The best build I've ever seen, Kudos. Has all the things except a split fridge, condenser/ radiator. If you put the radiator / condenser under the van you have more space for the inside of the fridge but shit, this build is 99%, if not 100% top tier. The best I've ever seen. Should be proud.

    Been watching various van builds over the last few years and this design by far has been the best I've seen from living space, ingenuity, tech features, power supply / output, and overall bathroom space perspective - its not even close. Looking at building one of these in several years and if you are still making them at the time I will look at designing one through you. Great job!

    Shaiden, you are at the forefront of custom van conversions. You seem to have most of the best features and highest power capacity before anyone else. I was hoping you would be the first to integrate an atmospheric water generator into a camper van. Have you tried? Was it impractical? I heard their foot print was relatively small. Your power system can easily handle one with plenty to spare. Please give us your thoughts on this.

    Biggest issue why I don’t get into van life is the solar panels/batteries. You just can’t get enough power to run AC and a fridge and charge a computer that I would need daily for work. Not possible without shore power. Even his setup would only run ac for 8 hours and it would drain those batteries daily. You need those for the fridge and lights. Summer gets hot in a van.

    Even if those seatbelts allowed you to face forward, they would still be deadly. There’s a reason they require shoulder restraints. It’s because in a head on collision the seatbelt will cut your organs in half. I met a nurse who was in the front passenger seat in a commuter van for UCSF hospital on the top deck of the Nimitz freeway when it collapsed during the ‘89 quake in a oakland. the front of the van was crushed and her legs were pinned and she could not move but she had a shoulder belt. the driver was killed instantly, but some of the passengers in the back were still alive but all only had lap belts. she took very little chunks of concrete that ended up inside the van from the freeway and tossed them onto their faces, trying to keep them from passing out and going into shock. Unfortunately, she was the only one to survive, and when I met her several years after the quake, she had regained the ability to walk, although not perfectly. I suspect some of the passengers would’ve survived had they not been wearing those lap belts. Do not wear only lap belts. you’re better off with nothing. I’m pretty sure they still don’t put lap belts in the back of school buses for this very reason.

    Awesome build. One suggestion I have or maybe I'm not understanding fully is the venting from the power bench to the stove. Would it be better to vent that hot air outside the van? Or even make a vent that can switch to vent to outside or inside? If in warm weather you have the AC on, you can vent that hot air to outside and visa versa. 27:08
