Comfort! :-) People come in different heights and widths, plus people sleep in all manner of positions and degrees of motion. If you are 5' tall, slender, and sleep motionless on your back with your arms folded across your chest, you will be comfortable in a much smaller space than someone who is 6'6", built for rugby, sleeps on their front and moves around a lot in their sleep. I'm closer to the latter than the former and cannot sleep in a 3' single bed without a leg falling off the bed, nor can I sleep in a bed with an above-mattress footboard as my feet need to hang off the end.
Your ingenuity and woodwork skill in your build was by far my favourite of all the vans I toured last year. Still love all the artwork as well :) Thanks to you for giving the tour and thanks to Ash for sharing this! Inspiring video, cheers.
I am impressed !! I love the idea of the plastic drawers.... Saves money on making drawers so you just gave great ideas for future van builders..... I also love the wall with access door to the cab which is another great idea.... AWESOME JOB !
I really loved the silver tape and your bookshelf. Oh my gosh, your bookshelf was brilliant. I love to read and it would be difficult for me to go without the books I love. I know we can read off of tablets or our phones, but I like the smell of the books, holding it, and flipping the pages to my favorite parts or whatever. Reading off a tablet or phone just isn’t the same to me, call me old school, I guess. Thanks for sharing your van, Rob, and thanks Ash for the great editing and presentation of this video, well done. Happy trails and stay smiling 🎈 Oooh! Forgot to ask, do you mail your stickers internationally, like Alaska? Wouldn’t mind purchasing one to help you out and me have a cool sticker to boot.
Yeah, I tuned in because of the bed but then figured it was only a single and there still wasn't room for a toilet - a permanent bed and toilet being vital for full-time living, for me at least. I'm going for the murphy bed approach and I think I may have solved the toilet/shower problem. I like his removable approach - I'm doing that but also the ability to swap them around if needed.
Beautifully designed. Quick, 2 weeks. I am not sure if I saw any exhaust fans or any windows... But if he is single and eats out.. No smells anyway. Can shower at a gym or family member or at work.. Great way to save money and looks cozy...
Cracking build that Ash and the hole design also reduces weight. I love the way the lights are reflected off the insulation. Would love to see it in the night.
Oh I am in love. WOW WOW all those little holes for the light to come out. The dividing wall/bookshelf excellent. Love the little holes on everything. Great hidden bed. Brilliant
I love love love the design. The lighting behind the "holey" trim was inspired! Smaller bed is good and looks ok for 2 people snuggled up. Tweaks: a loo & shower facility!
NICE!!!! Makes the top five of the 100 (or so) builds I have seen. My dad & one of my daughters (as I explore ideas for my DYI) keep saying “Keep it simple”
This is great! I agree, who needs a double or queen bed if it's for one person only? You have the sofa if you need more space. I think I would make the twin bed smaller and get that shower and toilet in.
It makes sense.. foot pump sink is just as easy to make... And you can clean both hands easily...I'm sure it would get used more an easily get more beat but with the savings low cost... It's worth it from what I can tell.
Thanks for showing a practical twin/single bed in a van. Because of the smaller bed you have more space in the van. And your bed is still large enough for a 2nd person ("nudge-nudge wink-wink say no more" 😉) I know people choose what's right for them but I don't understand it when it's only 1 person living in their vehicle and they have a full/queen sized bed taking up half of their living space.
This van is beautiful, I really like the fact that it's stealth! I don't know if I'd use a smaller vehicle if there is no shower, on the other hand it's nice to have all that space, especially in that kind of weather!
That is only the second van I've ever seen with that layout with the smaller bed and the storage/bathroom area beside it. The other van I saw followed through with making that space a bathroom, but maybe they were smaller and shorter than this owner so the space worked. Cool van!
This truly is one of the best (1st ) design/builds that I have seen so far on you tube. It's almost perfect. That secret stash hatch can be a basin one day. I would make all the counter tops that way. It's if the whole interior is modular and can be moved around in the future. . . The single/¾bed is a stroke of genius. Pity about the shower, bathroom. Hopefully in the future it will materialize, maybe in another way. How about outside by the garage with a gas water heater. . . . Anyway. . . Pray TGC Blessings in abundance
I was going to say “well he should have used a twin bed and created space for the shower” ...then i realised the camera makes everything appear larger or wider. Great build and layout. Well done!!!
Thank you for giving us this wee tour. Loving your channel. As soon as I subbed here I got myself straight over to redpillinmotion. Love finding new channels and content. x 😀
This van is like a steroid boost of ideas, I love the philosophy of keeping everything as simple as possible though I'm sure the design and build skill involved some conciderable ability. Love it.
Rob rocks. So creative and welcoming with round shapes, so cleverly arranged, Nothing happen for nothing, I was searching for other artists vans, & bam : Rob. damn, thanks the universe for all the sync. right in time!! Yay. some people took the red pill toooooo 🙏 thanks is for sharing and mailing us discover this talented mind 👍 @redpillinmotion 🙌
....in addition to a well designed use of space, the art/color makes everything epic...if you're gonna hang out it should feel personal to y'all...well done...
I love this build, especially the single/twin bed. I've always wondered why people seem to insist on having at least a double when it's them alone.
Hope.

Personally I’m 6’5” so anything less than a double literally won’t fit me comfortably
Practical and what suits you not a " what everyone else does" Love the smaller bed for more room.
What a fantastic van, one of the nicest self builds I have ever seen 👍
👍👍🙆♂️👍👍
Blimey Ash, never seen my van look so good. All that in 10 mins, top work fella. All my best Rob
I just realised im already subbed.
You should consider making and selling kits.
Your ingenuity and woodwork skill in your build was by far my favourite of all the vans I toured last year. Still love all the artwork as well :) Thanks to you for giving the tour and thanks to Ash for sharing this! Inspiring video, cheers.
This is exactly what I'm after, beautiful.
LOVE your van, hope to see you again at Camp Quirky :-)
Very smart man. He used holes verses knobs, which saved him weight. This is impressive.
I am impressed !!
I love the idea of the plastic drawers....
Saves money on making drawers so you just gave great ideas for future van builders.....
I also love the wall with access door to the cab which is another great idea....

Magnetic doors, hand pump for water, bought-in drawers, room divider/bookshelf - such great ideas.
You can tell that this guy has had some experience working on stage, the pin hinges, the simple light effects, love it.
I can honestly say I have never seen such a beautiful home I’m so jealous.stay safe from Scotland
Nice van, I really like the bed location👍Only thing that would of made it perfect is if you got that shower/toilet in there
Yeah, I tuned in because of the bed but then figured it was only a single and there still wasn't room for a toilet - a permanent bed and toilet being vital for full-time living, for me at least. I'm going for the murphy bed approach and I think I may have solved the toilet/shower problem. I like his removable approach - I'm doing that but also the ability to swap them around if needed.
I love his layout. Seems cozy and practical.
What an incredible build! Everything from the bookshelf and cabinets, to the lighting, single/twin bed, and unique personal touches/artwork!
Tidy van and he seems like a top bloke too!
Robs van is one of the most basic but intricate vans I’ve ever seen, make sure you see it in person as it’s just amazing 👊🏻😎
Yes your right
How amazing !! If there was a whole bathing unit would have been a 11 out of 10 for me !
I can honestly say that this is my favorite van life video. This man is so creative
This is one of the best vans I have ever seen. This chap is a genius. Well done, and thanks for showing.
Very nice. I would have at least a window though
You are right about the bed size. Small and cozy are the best places! I love your layout!
Beautifully designed. Quick, 2 weeks. I am not sure if I saw any exhaust fans or any windows... But if he is single and eats out.. No smells anyway. Can shower at a gym or family member or at work..
Great way to save money and looks cozy...
Great build. Congrats.
Cracking build that Ash and the hole design also reduces weight. I love the way the lights are reflected off the insulation. Would love to see it in the night.
Wow, incredible Van this is. And all the work done in two weeks? Lots of good ideas and the Layout is perfectly made for one. Thanks for showing this.
Love Rob! Top bloke! And yes his van is like no other, very unique. Very clever. And I bet he doesn't struggle with weight using all that ply :)
Wow, even his mistake worked out super cool... I do wish there was a bathroom tho... but simply beautiful build... & just two weeks
One of the most distinctive and elegant vans in the community. Definitely some tricks to be learned here for new van builders. Awesome job Rob 👍
Oh I am in love. WOW WOW all those little holes for the light to come out. The dividing wall/bookshelf excellent. Love the little holes on everything. Great hidden bed. Brilliant
I love love love the design. The lighting behind the "holey" trim was inspired! Smaller bed is good and looks ok for 2 people snuggled up. Tweaks: a loo & shower facility!
Guys a genius what a way to utilize the most of the space
NICE!!!! Makes the top five of the 100 (or so) builds I have seen. My dad & one of my daughters (as I explore ideas for my DYI) keep saying “Keep it simple”
What a lovely genuine chap and a lovely van build. Thanks for sharing Ash. Lots of inspiration
This is great! I agree, who needs a double or queen bed if it's for one person only? You have the sofa if you need more space. I think I would make the twin bed smaller and get that shower and toilet in.
What a fantastic van. This man has talent. Really beautiful work.
Wow! The interior of that van is better than the brothel I go to.
It makes sense.. foot pump sink is just as easy to make... And you can clean both hands easily...I'm sure it would get used more an easily get more beat but with the savings low cost... It's worth it from what I can tell.
This man can make a living building out vans. I love Mr. Anderson. Lol Great build!
Nice van and a nice guy.
I've seen a similar layout in another van and it's one of favourites if i do another build 👍
Thanks for showing a practical twin/single bed in a van. Because of the smaller bed you have more space in the van. And your bed is still large enough for a 2nd person ("nudge-nudge wink-wink say no more" 😉) I know people choose what's right for them but I don't understand it when it's only 1 person living in their vehicle and they have a full/queen sized bed taking up half of their living space.
Very Well thought out. Love this. Especially the books
Wow that is one of my favourite van builds ever I'm definitely stealing the table idea! and Ash this is a great series absolutely top work from you
Love Robs van it is truly unique and great!! Well done man!! Nice lights Rob haven’t seen them yet! Looking very fancy!
@redpillinmotion incredible engineering in all the cabinetry can’t wait to see the build of all the furniture!!
WOW what a van and so simple.
This is incredible!!!! How jealous am I ??????
Some good simple ideas there.. nothing complicated really, just goes to show how ideas can form and creations made.
Intelligence at its best... I like this. Great Job!!!
Very cool build , I like this bed layout 👌
Awesome. Thanks for the tour.
Nobody messing with it because it looks like a surveillance van!
The inside is very nice!
This van is beautiful, I really like the fact that it's stealth! I don't know if I'd use a smaller vehicle if there is no shower, on the other hand it's nice to have all that space, especially in that kind of weather!
Excellent build and ideas in this van, love it. Thanks to you both for sharing
Finally a build with original ideas
Keep it simple, is a good idea. Some very clever and well made details. Good one, maybe the best so far. Keep them coming.
That is only the second van I've ever seen with that layout with the smaller bed and the storage/bathroom area beside it. The other van I saw followed through with making that space a bathroom, but maybe they were smaller and shorter than this owner so the space worked. Cool van!
Excellent work what a van
Wow, your van is something very special and beautiful, thank you for sharing!
Amazing job. One of the best conversions ive seen hands down.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🏆👏👏👏
Best van build ever!!! First time I see ROUNDED corners on cabinets. 👊🏾💯
Great look around the van and I like his art work looks fab
Cracking video of someone else’s van, he’s really got it sussed. Thanks for showing Ash 😎
This build is the most inspired I've encountered on YT! Well done😍
Really clever build, love the way the bed was done, that is such a good idea that I might have to nick that haha
I like how you're both whispering
Love the build
Stunning van and all in two weeks wow! Some great ideas for utilizing the space.

Looks so spacious in there!
I was going to say “well he should have used a twin bed and created space for the shower” ...then i realised the camera makes everything appear larger or wider.
Great build and layout. Well done!!!
Love your build! Love how you defused your lighting.

It really is a masterpiece 👌
Finally I get to see Robs van. Been following him for a little while now but never saw a good tour of his van. Tx Ash 👍
