About this van:
It was during the Covid pandemic that Jennifer decided to build out her van Sage and commit to full-time vanlife. Her campervan van conversion is so homely and beautifully finished, and definitely one I'd love to live in. I especially liked how she did the partition and hidden natures head toilet. Really stunning job and definitely one worth checking out!

This may not be the most space-efficient, high-tech van conversion I’ve seen, but it’s one of the only ones I’ve seen that actually feels homey.
ive seen a few thats feels homey and still very very efficient, BUT yet to see one that has all of the above and a small bathroom, ones with bathrooms tend to be very tight and not homey at all or lack in other areas such as a kitchen or cosy bed area!
So true!
True I was thinking the same looks homey
I think this is one of my favorite van conversions! I love how you put a wall between the cab and your living space.
Me too. I think I’m going to do this as well as I don’t use the front seats for anything other than driving. Am going to do a slidey hatch.
I agree! I love this one!
i know, this ones beautiful!!
I would agree
I couldn't agree more, if more people say this, more would do this!
This has to be one of the most beautiful van conversions I've seen -- loved absolutely everything about this! The idea of only being able to get to the roof from inside is actually a really great idea for solo travelers. Such a fan!
She did such a great job at explaining each feature. I can’t believe she has that much space in there. My favorite van thus far! ✨
This is one of the most spacious and beautiful van builds I have seen so far. It looks nothing like a van from inside...gorgeous!
it looks as big as it does because she's like 5 ft nothing. just fyi
@@dickymcbutts7585and? Some of those vans are taller than 6 foot
I really like this build. I would add 2 things: a shower out the back (w curtain hanging between the doors) & another travel Buddy! (RIP Sam)
😇🙏
It has a shower 🚿 out the window with the kitchen sink !
@@mikerust3965 true. But one out of the back would be more convenient for me; It’s just my personal preference.
@@robthetindog8218 Then when you get your own van you can definitely add a shower on the back to your liking.
Her van is suited for her needs and wants.
@@MsTemptation obviously
Nice conversion. I would add a security camera to check the front of the van without opening the door. A low tech alternative would be to create an opening in the partition door to view outside.
This is a great conversion. I'd love to upgrade my rig to something like this. Covid (and leaving an abusive relationship) is what led me to vanlife.
🙏👑🕊️
Good for you babes.
You go girl👍🏻
Nico😍
I wish you nothing but the BEST hope ur ok now
This is amazing! So organized, and the color she used in her interior feels so cozy! This is my favorite van so far!! I love this so much!
My grandfather painted all his work benches and tool stands that color. We used to call it 'Grandpa Green".
Best conversation ive ever seen, the design makes the overall sapce looks so spacious!
So true, I was expecting a way bigger car from the thumbnail. Makes me rethink my vehicle choice.
The spaciousness is an optical illusion from the filming techniques used. Very common in van life videos and stills. It makes it looks bigger than a regular RV. Living in one is when reality hits you. Good start is to take a roll of masking tape and tape out a full size floor plan for the vehicle you are interested in making the build in.
@@thewb8329 great idea, currently I’m in the planning phase and I’m trying to go as big as possible.
Guess it’s gonna be harder than I imagine, but I’m convinced I’ll make it work.
I agree
@@MacroAnarchy as. %
I can vouch for the composting toilet. My in laws have one on their sailboat, and as long as everything goes in the right compartment, you rotate, and change accordingly- it never smells. There's an actual head with a sink and a door - and they put the toilet on a platform to raise it up. Which is a possibility in a conversion van, depending on the size. And no black water tank is great.
Weird question, but what if you, well, can't keep things in the right compartments? I have been thinking of vanlife for a while, but I feel like my IBS and acid reflux make it impossible
@@carlycrays2831 I have that too. I also have a family and a cat. But I have been keeping notes for retirement. Lol. But I have spent most of my life taking care of others and sadly some (namely younger sibs) have been less than nice to me despite that (try run over me and think they can MY life despite I'm married and have my own and worked before they are born!). That experience has me resolved that if my needy second kid ever becomes independent and my husband passes I'm going to the RTR and go around in a tiny rv for a while.
Because I'm fed up with how my 2 of my bros have treated me!
Love her conversion, but I would have placed the toilet close the door where that popup table is.
i think fixed bed + garage is the staple for most van builds
Thanks so much for featuring Sage! Hope we inspired some future vanlife travelers! ✨
So freakin inspired… love your tiny home on wheels! Stay safe!
what model is your van? loving it!
Thanks for sharing Sage with us. Happy and safe travels 🐨
It’s absolutely gorgeous! You did an amazing job! 😍
Really beautiful clean lines, and I love the colors! You've given me some new ideas for 'the list'... 😍 thanks for sharing!
Everything about this van build is beautiful. I love the green. I love the fact that the video was 10:55 minutes.
Yea. The colours are perfect. Not sure what it is but they balance perfectly to the eye. Its a lovely refit.
This is hands down my favourite van conversion I've seen so far - the layout and colours are both beautiful 🥰 Hoping van life catches on a bit more in the UK so I can build one of these and feasibly park without paying for campsite fees all the time or having to stealth in residential areas
One of my favorite layouts in the two years I’ve been looking at van life vids. Very clean and organized.
This is the best one I've seen. Lower the bed, move the toilet to one of the side compartments and it's perfect.
Best van build ever! Suggestion, pull out the passenger seat and install a drained shower pan. Use also for storage. Install seatbelt to seat by the bed. Great for one person living.
I like the idea of adding a seat belt to one of the table seats in the back.👍
If you didn't know it was a van..it looks like a Cozy Tiny house!!Well it is!!!❤Love the name Sage💚
this is probably one of the best van builds i have seen. the table pull out is amazing considering SO many people hate the conversion that usually needs to happen to get the table set up, taken down. very smart!
Cool van, I like the little fold down night stand. Incredibly well thought out and very functional. ❤️
I love this van conversion. ❤
Everything has been thought out meticulously ...everything ...including the use of the kitchen sink faucet as a make shift shower ...which I would have done, too.
Sage is beautiful, glad to hear someone is taking this time as a chance to travel.
Happy travels, Stay safe.
I think I just like seeing what people have in their houses, and van life people are so open to show everybody everything. Love it!
One of my favorite builds by far. I'd possibly want a shower added on the back, but I can't imagine changing much, if anything about this van. Excellent layout!!
Perfect layout. Wish I could sell my house and hit the road, but I have two dogs plus a garden so not ready yet. If I hit the lotto, I'll get one for the weekend. 😃
Me too!!!! 😁
Imagine wanting to be homeless 😂
@@idiotbuster8662 Most people don’t even own a house, so are they homeless? Home is where your heart is. While I will likely always maintain a home base, millions of people enjoy traveling full time, and many of these vans and RVs are more substantial and luxurious than “homes” that exist now let alone in the past.
@@idiotbuster8662 who says a van can’t be a home?
@@idiotbuster8662 What a silly comment. This lifestyle for many has nothing to do with being homeless. A lot of people that choose this way of life can actually afford a home or an apartment. Some have sold their homes or refuse to pay these outrageous rent prices, AND, a lot of people work remotely now so there really is no need to stay rooted if they don't want to.
I would love to have a well equipped Van to take out on the weekends or for a week and just explore and travel while keeping my apartment.
Such a great build! I'm doing a similar color sage in my van and I love the idea of a removable sticker wall!
I think this was the 2nd van tour I watched. Couldn't resist watching it again! After seeing sooo many and and seen more modern ones, this one still holds a certain appeal. So real and warm. I really do love it!
I think that's because the interior layout is basically the same as the old fashioned Romany "gypsy" vardos, which I ADORE.
One of the best van builds I've seen!
Jennifer did an amazing job of making it into a home. Fun to see our customers out in the wild! If you have any questions about parts or the build process let us know!
I really think this van build is one of the best i have ever seen. So well thought out and executed. Seems like it is enormous : ) thanks so much for sharing. Happy trails.
A great convertion, very personalized and cozy. Multifunctional in every detail. The van looks like any other from the outside, that is a plus. She has thought of comfort, art and security (and much more) all in one. Very passionate and smart adventurous girl.
This is my favorite van conversion! I think I would only ever use something like this as a camper, and therefore put a little less into it, but so far this is the biggest kitchen I've seen, and that's really important to me!
Some how it ends up looking wider than almost any pro master van conversions I have seen.
Amazing!!!! This is the one build that I’ve seen that takes my breath away. It’s everything. Thank you so much.
This is probably the best van conversion I’ve ever seen. The way you use every space on the van is amazing! I love the colors to!
Beautiful and practical design! I love the partition from the front of the van. Absolutely looks like a real house!
I love the Astroturf touch. Man, if I was cut from different cloth and didn't have such loving parents who instilled a sense of morality in me, I'd nick this van, but I'd return the sticker board, map and books as well of course the photo of Sam 🙂🙏❤
What do you mean by having “loving parents who instilled a a sense of morality”?
@@k.j.paasche6523 Ha! I'm just afraid of what my late father would think (who owned a van) if I nicked Anything, let alone an amazing van like this! ..even if I was courteous enough to return the personal posessions contained within 🙂🙏
Beautiful layout! Really love the bench seating areas, makes it seem more roomy. The color theme is also well chosen.
I've been watching numerous vids of stealth living but I realize that it's much more than that. Another smartly and Logical presentation of the understanding that is required to maintain this. How exciting it must feel. Makes me want to try it even after the younger years of adventure.
Hi! This is by far one of my favorites!!! I love the wall with the mirror to the colors and decor. It looks so relaxing!!! I wish you the best of times on your journey!❤️
A full length mirror is essential in my life so I love to see it incorporated in builds!
This is really well thought out. I live in a tiny house that's 33' and has every comfort, but it's not as easy to move, which at times presents an issue.
Same. Thinking of going smaller so I can actually travel. 31 feet and 7mpg doesnt make for a quick get-a-way, lol. It would be really great to fit in a regular parking space and park anywhere. I love having a full size, separated shower / toilet, washing machine and tons of outside storage but to really be mobile would be great. No black water tank is a big plus as well, would really save on water!
How much did your van cost including van and conversion?
the one thing I wonder about the mobile home life like this is how they refill their water tank... like where do they get their water source from? 🧐 I understand that the electricity is from solar panels, the gas is in a mini-tank which is easily accessible in a store... but refilling the water in a water tank.. How is it done?
Also there's probably a weight limit for these kinda builds but does that take into account the supplies and resources too? I wonder how it all works.. I don't wanna delve too deep into it though. Just really curious on it.
One of the nicest conversions I've seen! Very efficient use of space, I like the high bed to maximize storage, smart thinking!
I absolutely LOVE this build! the partition between the cab and the back is such a great touch!
The partition wall adds a lot of value / privacy. Also, a soothing color scheme. Good luck on your travels.
Of all of the van builds I’ve seen, this is my absolute favorite. It has everything I’d want in min.
Actually a really nice thought out build all the extra space and the use of the space, toilet shower, kitchen, big bed, and that little drop board on side of the bed for drinks phone etc is a plus
It is a very nice space!
Absolutely gorgeous!! My favorite conversion van I've seen yet. Love all the little details and the stickers are awesome.
Yes, the decals and map are a great idea !
Love the simple concept of partitioning the cabin area from the living quarters.
Such inspiration right there.
How long did it take you to convert the van and what was the cost please?
Do you have any regrets in giving up your bricks & mortar home?
All wonderfully thought out! She made the most use of every inch of space. I like it. She created a beautiful home for herself. The only thing I'll add is a shower enclosure maybe at the entrance (a dismountable enclosure) and a closet in place of the cabinet storage by the door of van.
This was very well thought out, organized, and decorated. I love it.
Hello Elisa
UGH!! I love that sink! This build is so great! Thanks for sharing!
Probably one of the nicest looking conversions that I have ever seen. Amazinf
Agreed!
Great build! I love the little touches I especially love that the upper kitchen storage cupboard has a light in it!
Great design. Separation made it feel look like a building with a foundation and the truck through the window sells the point. This one is good looking and feels like a great space with comfort
Great design well done with the two tone green lower cabinets white uppers. Thanks for sharing 👍 very motivating
Great van! The layout is great and the colors are so pretty. Love it.
This is B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L... The layout, design, colour scheme, homey touches... What a warm, welcoming space you have created, Jennifer. You're clearly happy with your decision to adopt van life living and I wish you all the best on your adventures...
Really love the conversion you did, it’s spacious and yet simple, but super functional. One of the best I’ve seen! :)
Clever. Always fun to see how best it works for the owner. You can figure out if it would suit you, or where you might adjust or tweak certain aspects. Well done. 💔RIP little Sam too.
Insanely cozy build love the layout kudos to you.
THIS is the BEST VAN BUILD of 2021 in my opinion Nate. I myself have been van living since 2010. I imagine this young lady was about 10 back then, but what a genius build. We really have come a long way in such a short time. I'm going to incorporate some of her ideas into my next build. 👍
I love how warm and cozy the decor is.
The design so pretty and so open. I would prefer the bed to be a little bit lower just to have ceiling space, but otherwise it's beautiful
And for me, to even be able to get in it! 😄🙃
I think I would too. 😋 but something is always a trade off in a small space.
I think more storage is more important for me. How often do you sit up straight in bed?
@@serenakoleno9338 the older I get the more I do sit up in bed. That's just to get my bearings so I don't fall down when I sit up or stand up I mean
Ah yes, vertigo. I get it. And I may have a problem if I can not sit up, too.
Love the color and the big skylight. Lovely I need one close to this. I’m disabled so a few switches.
My fav van conversion. The colours give depth to the small space. Lovely layout. Well thought out plan.
Love it! You've done a wonderful job decorating it. It looks so home and comfortable. Thank you for sharing. 🌷
What a Beautiful Van build, love the colours and conversion ❤️
Casually woke up wondering if you could hang a mirror in a door between the cabin and the living area, and then this get posted. Thanks for answering my question jaja. Absolutely loved this van, the kind of built that makes you go ‘i could definitely live there' 😯
Haha awesome
I would probably put a roll up curtain over the mirror.
@@charismahornum-fries691 that would be good feng shui for sleeping too.
Very, very nice planning. Thought I was going to watch a pretty build. But SO functional and well planned. Love it! (taking notes)
This van is so organic, calm and so charming. Your concept is so inspiring and pretty.
Love the well thought out design, super neat and cozy! Nice colors.
I feel that this is my favorite van conversion out of the ones I've seen
The layout,color scheme,natural light inside...perfect in almost every way!
Beautifully decorated! The best I’ve seen yet on TH-cam! Great job! 👏
I love this van layout. It is beautiful and looks spacious and airy. A lot of light and the colors are great.
Love your van design. It would be just what I would want if I built one. Perfect!!
Gorgeous!!! By far one of the best I’ve seen. So cheerful and practical. I could live there for sure. I’m so jealous
This is probably my top favorite van build. I like the colors and especially that door so she can get to the driver seat fast. But she's incognito.
Beautifull and lots of light!!!!! Great Job!!!
Wow ! I’m so amazed and captured by this beautiful example of living the life you’re meant for. I love the comfort, coziness and quality of your life. A Big plus is all your safety features too.
What a fascinating young woman. I am impressed with your life and home and wondering how you make it work financially ?
Very nice! I love the colors and the opportunity for ever-changing and evolving artwork! This is a beautifully spacious build!
I really like your build. Your expression shines through your sentimental items and decor. 💕✨
Beautiful design! Sink / outdoor shower genius! 🙌💖 and love the sticker timeline too.
Beautiful! I think this is one of my favorites. Love the beautiful design and colors, and all the features are well thought out. 💗
I think this is the best space and furnished van that i saw. It's so inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
I'm wondering if the toilet couldn't be under one of the little side seats where the table slides out. I'd be much more comfortable sitting there. :-) Other than that, this is a beautiful van.
Or turn the toilet around to face the other direction perhaps?
Being close to the door is probably easier to empty and better for odors. Wonder what you do with compost if you don't have a garden available? How much poo/compost does it hold before you need to empty? What ratio of poo to compost? Has anyone done a video about this in detail?
@@serenakoleno9338 yeah, not necessarily a fun topic, but I'd be interested to know as well.
Definitely one of the best builds I’ve seen … great job…
This is DEFINITELY my favorite van conversion!! Great job!!!
This is the best thing I've ever seen,so complete. She shows you that it is livable. I'm a widow and this looks ideal for traveling when you go for visit ing family. Thumbs up 👍🏻😉
I could live comfortably in this. Great job!⭐️
My thoughts as well.
Having a new van is very important because that would be one of my biggest fears the motor or transmission going out. I love the way you remember and honor your dogs memories. I lost mine about five years ago and it still hurts like it was yesterday. I love the layout of your van.
Please make a video about your dog.
Lovely simple, uncluttered and well thought out layout!
Her lil van i think is probably definitly 1 of my favorites, just adorable!!
This is the best conversion I’ve ever seen-wouldn’t change a thing-it is wonderful!!!
I know, such a sweet conversion!!
I wish I had had this in college. It would’ve been such a life saver.
I luv the separation you did between the driver area to the living area.
Fave! Her van is brilliant & she's lovely,thanks Nate.😍
I can't w the toilet below the Utensils drawer.
