Yeah, those were good tips about the lightness of the balsa wood and lithium batteries. Another tip I saw on another van build video was to use ceramic tile-looking decals in place of real ceramic tiles on the splash guard behind the cooking area.
You get what you deserve. When 99.99 % of comments are “this is the best build I have ever seen” there is no incentive to be real. I’ve decided when I hire employees I should look at their TH-cam comments to see how high their standards are.
OMG...!!I am speechless, completely giddy! This is the best van I've seen yet!! Watching videos to get ideas.., you guys did a superb job!!!Thanks for sharing!!
This is the best ever bed solution. You always have a 2/3 bed done, and save a lot of space. I always imagined this solution, but never found in any van conversion.
I love the coloration and the style of your van, thank you for making it very clean and organized when you started filming a lot of people don’t do that. Love the van nice job your dog is just too cute
What a fine clever example of the possibilities in the hands of a brilliant craftsman. Such crazy clean workmanship. I'll never afford to build like this, but it sure is a pleasure to behold.
clicked on this van build b/c title said he was a furniture maker. as soon as I heard he was German I knew I'd watch the whole thing b/c the quality and attention to detail would be exceptional. did not disappoint.
Nice build. Have a great idea for a piece of furniture. Its something like a sorta recliner. Your skills will make this piece wanted by everyone world wide. There is no furniture like this. Together we can make it happen. Ready to make millions. Ty.
This is beautiful. I like the curtain wall and will want something like that in my van. Than I can still have a swivel seat in the front. Excellent workmanship.
Pamela ive seen that curtain wall before but a better version of it. Trying to remember where I saw it. Not likely it was on living big in a tiny house but a similar channel, might be Nate Murphy. If I find it I will post the link for you.
@@noa5641 I saw it too and I think it was on Nate Murphy.. Was it the one where the guy said he bought it from a home type store and just had it cut down to fit? The van had the double sized swivel passenger chair, the couch and then the bed and he had that adorable reddish dog that he called a cocker spaniel ( which I'm sure it was but to me it looked like a baby Irish setter lol).
Lived in Frankfurt for several years :) great city! Good job on the van build! Great, clean lines, so well organized and very modern and sleek color choices. I really like the heat shield above the cook top. Great touch and solves an issue that I had not thought about
Thanks so much for mentioning wheel base. When trying to gauge what I could get inside (wet bath) and yet still get it into a parking place, this is super important to me. Great plan!
this guy can do it all; impressive van; keeping it light helps not just with gas mileage but even when van is not moving as you say for tires, shocks, etc. Very instructional.
I agree. I would still do things differently for myself. Fridge in a drawer? No. The toilet needs a curtain, no matter how much you love your partner, I don't need to watch them poop. But I think they only use it in an emergency. And do you need 5 big knives on a magnetic bar when camping? I'd rather put spices on there. All in all, a well thought-out and professionally executed solution.
Well done, perhaps the best van build I have seen and I have viewed a bunch of them. Makes me proud to be German myself, I see the pride in fine craftsmanship.
Impeccable details as any German build.. but the lack of full bathroom, I would definitely re-thinking this part.. but the furniture and the weight consideration is amazing :)
what makes you think he wouldn't have covered that part? It's a very small van. A shower cubicle not only needs space, it needs water, produces grey water and thus weight, needs space, produces moisture and mould. Campsites have good sanitary facilities and the toilet in the cupboard is certainly only used in emergencies. I think he has made the right decisions for his personal needs
This van soothes all the anxiety and ocd stressors I got from other builds. ESPECIALLY THE BED! 🛌 Omg always seeing those thin plywood boards, or dining tables stressed me out. I literally let out a breath I didn’t know that I was holding, when he lifted up such a thick and firmly supported chair back. Thank you 🙏 sooo much. Your skills are great.
I liked that sink ur van has a Gothic look... Black.... I like it.... Paush... That toilet seat I would have adjusted under passenger seat... Previous space for wardrobe as well as magnetic curtains to cover front glass n windows....
Great build! I love the ideas with the light wood,and the sliders on the drawers,never seen that yet! The only thing,😅 the bed seems VERY close to the underneath of the cabinets? LOVE the projector/sound system! Very cozy!!! But still a great build! I like seeing what different ppl like in their builds!
You win!! This is the absolute best van conversion I have ever seen. I really like how you were able to use black so much yet keep it feeling bright and airy. 🌚 The puppy was even amazing. Nicely done you guys!!
What an awesome well thought out van. You certainly have everything you need. Thanks for your explanation of the materials. You guys are so organized and your design is the best, especially the zippered blackout cover between the front and the back of the van. That toilet is amazing for a van and so is the refrigeration boxes. Love your channel
That divider wall is so awesome! I have seen others and yours are some of the better ones. I love the zippers. Very nice clean electrical set up. Love lithium - so worth the $$. Love your solar panels, too! Your dog is beautiful! Her build resembles my rescue pup Timmy - ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing your home with us.😊👌🏽
I like the bed because one person can go to bed without disturbing the other. Also, other person can change his couch into a bed without disturbing sleeping person. This is very unique design, and allows for more privacy. Also love the garage where all the essentials are tucked out of site and maintenance can be done without disturbing people in the van. Seeing how much better your design is, I would not buy a van without at least those two genius features. I suggest you update your video to emphasize the benefits of your design. Good luck!
Beautiful work! I have a very basic build on a Promaster 1500 with a Wayfarer Vans kit. I love it, but yours is definitely more of a complete home. I am a truck driver in the states but a have my van in Hawaii where I vacation several times a year.
Very nice build - and so nice to hear you talk about keeping the build light and keeping things from moving in case of sudden braking. I want to know more about balsa plywood... something to look into
It's nice but for me personally I would need a proper bathroom, maybe a wet bath, windows on both sides, ac, and heat. I do like it though 👍Can't wait to see the future builds! 👌
Absolutely amazing. It's perfect. I'd love this honestly. I just can't use the bathroom or better yet eat in a van where someone else just took a #2. Not everyday. I can't.
Those solar panels are great, there are a few compact models out (shorter ones than the average ones); these looklike just the thing, they fit the van side to side without sticking out, and with 600+ watts peak those are pretty powerful too. And they can withstand 208 mile per hour winds, so you can really enjoy the full performance and speed of your van... ;)
Clean clever design with attention to efficiency and ease of use. Curious about 1) material used on the front of wood cabinets 2) how do you get up on the roof 3) size of water tank & grey water tank and how that was part of weight considerations
💕👍🏼💕 Great Van. Well thought out and thank you for sharing.
Wow love from pakistan ☝ please mention price
Glad to finally see a van builder talk about weight. I am astonished a the van builds on youtube and the weight of the buildouts I see.
Yeah, those were good tips about the lightness of the balsa wood and lithium batteries. Another tip I saw on another van build video was to use ceramic tile-looking decals in place of real ceramic tiles on the splash guard behind the cooking area.
@imemime7 Your right, Some vans you see built with 2 x 4s for the bed slats!!!
@@inventor1v Keep it light, an airbed and crap in a bush for the win !!!

Check out Eamon & Bec's new van. It's exactly the same bed arrangement
I love the coloration and the style of your van, thank you for making it very clean and organized when you started filming a lot of people don’t do that. Love the van nice job your dog is just too cute
Yes !!! Hes talking about weight !!!!
Definitely saving this video for future reference. I don't love everything but like alot.
One if my favorite layouts! I’ve been wanting to see a van with larger area for seating and room for the garage area,! Great job!
My favorite part of this home is Stacy but the rest is impeccable too!
The most practical real explanation. From heat shields to weight management. And that fridge!
What a fine clever example of the possibilities in the hands of a brilliant craftsman. Such crazy clean workmanship. I'll never afford to build like this, but it sure is a pleasure to behold.

Beautiful Van, No Doubt, and the built inside is Magnificient, but No Shower in Such a Large Van?? WOW.
This is beautiful. I like the curtain wall and will want something like that in my van. Than I can still have a swivel seat in the front. Excellent workmanship.

wouldn't this just be something you could pull inspiration from the curtain between first class and coach cabins in an airplane from?
@@amyfender1 yes that’s the one 👍
The info you provided is priceless ty for sharing sending love to yall

Fabulous workmanship, so great to see return to quality builds & attention to practical applications.

This probably one of the best designs I have seen.

Love this build! I’m designing my first build now very helpful your craftsmanship is impeccable. Thank you for the vids.
Superb design...most motorhome / camper interiors are suburbia circa 1975 --- this is light and thoughtful and efficient.
Well done, perhaps the best van build I have seen and I have viewed a bunch of them. Makes me proud to be German myself, I see the pride in fine craftsmanship.
Very dark with the black and etc etc I like it especially with all the shades to not let light in definitely my kinda place
Thanks for the video. That is one very neat van. The electrics are well protected and perfectly installed. Brilliant van.
Game over vanlifers, this is the best thought out and sleekest design possible. Incredible beauty
I love the pullout refrigerator/'freezer drawer, fresh drinking water spout In the kitchen sink + soap pump, and the black out curtain front cover
Impeccable details as any German build.. but the lack of full bathroom, I would definitely re-thinking this part.. but the furniture and the weight consideration is amazing :)

Out of all the van life type rebuilds. This has got to be my favorite one.
Best Feature : Alex's Trousers!
OuTsTaNdInG Video and Generous Share, Jenni and Alex!
This is a beautiful functional and well thought out build.. very impressed 👏
This is one of the most beautiful cans I have seen. The interior design is AWESOME!
The most organised Van I ever saw.. and I watched all the van life videos on TH-cam keep up the Good job
Very much like the inside of a yacht, very cool stylings.
I loved this buildout. Especially your dog. Looked ready to drive off in the driver's seat.
This van soothes all the anxiety and ocd stressors I got from other builds. ESPECIALLY THE BED! 🛌 Omg always seeing those thin plywood boards, or dining tables stressed me out. I literally let out a breath I didn’t know that I was holding, when he lifted up such a thick and firmly supported chair back. Thank you 🙏 sooo much. Your skills are great.
I like the couch/bed design. You have a very clean home and garage. Great van!
Windows would be a must for me. Fresh air circulating thru, sunlight , gorgeous views ...windows would be a must for me.
I liked that sink ur van has a Gothic look... Black.... I like it.... Paush...
That toilet seat I would have adjusted under passenger seat... Previous space for wardrobe as well as magnetic curtains to cover front glass n windows....
A van is not complete without fur balls. Very nice build! 🥰
Great build! I love the ideas with the light wood,and the sliders on the drawers,never seen that yet!
The only thing,😅 the bed seems VERY close to the underneath of the cabinets? LOVE the projector/sound system! Very cozy!!!
But still a great build! I like seeing what different ppl like in their builds!
Really beautiful job. Everything is well laid out and the craftsmanship is amazing. Congratulations on a great build.
Cabinetry work...fabelhaft! And Daisy, darling, you wear a tuxedo so well. How stunning you are!
I really like the music in the video! Very stylish and fits the vibe and style of the van. And them too🤞
This van is perfect for one person and a dog. No need to expand the bed. The pullout is the office table. I’d buy it.
i have done a lot of research on van living. this is THE BEST ENGINEERING design.
You win!! This is the absolute best van conversion I have ever seen. I really like how you were able to use black so much yet keep it feeling bright and airy. 🌚 The puppy was even amazing. Nicely done you guys!!

Oh wow!!! Love the seating bed area. Super clean electrical work. Nice job
What a fantastic build, such attention to detail! I especially love the sofa / bed set-up, which is the best one I've ever seen. Kudos!
Wow, absolutely beautiful...sehr schoen. Now days that kind of plywood is super expensive.
I don't think there's anything cheap about the van
That divider wall is so awesome! I have seen others and yours are some of the better ones. I love the zippers. Very nice clean electrical set up. Love lithium - so worth the $$. Love your solar panels, too! Your dog is beautiful! Her build resembles my rescue pup Timmy - ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing your home with us.😊👌🏽
I like the Atlanta touches: Shakey Knees tshirt and Dekalb Farmer's Market spices! Really good job on the van.
GERMAN ENGINEERING !! ANY WONDER IT'S PERFECT !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Such a boss van build! Great sensibilities and oh so practical.
I was at Shaky Knees a couple years ago! Fantastic festival. Great van!,
I come back to this video from time to time cause it’s one of the best conversions I’ve ever seen
Beautiful workmanship and so organized..Thank you for the video..Have a blessed day..
I think this is my finale episode of watching a tour about an RV. This is a home
Beautiful work! I have a very basic build on a Promaster 1500 with a Wayfarer Vans kit. I love it, but yours is definitely more of a complete home. I am a truck driver in the states but a have my van in Hawaii where I vacation several times a year.
your van is very beautiful, enjoy it, but also the wonderful places where you will travel
Wow. I love your camper van. You have thought of everything.
Hello from those of us still stuck in the ATL! LOVE the van and congratulations!
Thank you both, I really enjoy seeing fine craftsmanship, and your van is tops.
Very nice build - and so nice to hear you talk about keeping the build light and keeping things from moving in case of sudden braking. I want to know more about balsa plywood... something to look into
Very nice van set up. You guys did a awesome job.
Great build!! I love the cabinets and everything looks so clean and organized!
Very Nice! Love the seating & bed conversion. BTW
Stacey is BEAUTIFUL
Wishing you both the best of luck in your endeavours. all is well all be well.
Loved the tour. And I'm a fellow woodworker so enjoyed both of your creativity and for sure thoughtful decisions
WOW 💥. An apartment on wheels👍. I love every thought out detail 💚. Enjoy your life and safe travels 👌.
Wow! Never seen such a neat electrical section!
Genius organisation and power set up! Love the lightweight cabinets idea!
Thanks from London England 👍🏴😎
LOVE the decor in this one. Sleek, smart.
One day I can afford this. Excellent ideal on the choice of wood and the couch 💡. I love the clean lines. I also love the sink with soap dispenser.
I think this is the best layout I ve seen
I really like this van, like the black more stealth look ..very nice
One of the best if not the best build I’ve seen my favorite so far
Such a beautiful and clever van layout hi love it.
Love the use of old sleeping bags for a cab divider, I think I'll use that idea myself! 👍
Excellent van and a more excellent video. Your German engineering and craftsmanship are definitely showing.
The dovetailing in the draws is beautiful.
It's nice but for me personally I would need a proper bathroom, maybe a wet bath, windows on both sides, ac, and heat. I do like it though 👍Can't wait to see the future builds! 👌
Your van and your craftsmanship are very impressive. Great job!
This van is near & classy the best so far i've watched
..neat..
Thank You so much. I hope you consider building these for sale.
Excellent conversion. These are needed. Thank You
Absolutely amazing. It's perfect. I'd love this honestly. I just can't use the bathroom or better yet eat in a van where someone else just took a #2. Not everyday. I can't.
It’s very simple yet beautiful for some reason...
Awesome build, very clean and thought of everything!!! 😊
This build is super clean. Really like it.

Continued: very pretty, high end furniture build/builder for any home, condo, apartment, restaurant, bar, etc.

An incredibly beautiful and practical build. Well done and thanks for sharing!! Safe travels.
