    Best van build I‘ve seen so far. Lots of storage, extremely genius never seen before hidden shower. „Simple“ but practical as hell bedding situation and the hole Layout provides just so much space through out the whole van, feels so open and airy, this is incredible!

    Amazing build, I'm blown away by the creative solutions to maximize the space you have! The cutting board with the hole straight to the bin was genius and definitely reduces the mess when cooking in a smaller space. I love the roof deck idea as well! I always thought it was a shame that most of these van builds didn't have a roof 'seating' area to enjoy all the beautiful places van life takes you to. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

    I love how open and airy it all is. I'd like to know more about camping opportunities where you are. Permissions, reservations, etc. The US has become so impacted since everyone and their puppy took to the road during COVID. For tent and low impact campers like my family it's not as much fun as it once was. Where you're parked looks lovely. Enjoy your travels.

    • @Vehicleadventurenetwork
      @Vehicleadventurenetwork  Год назад +1

      We’re glad you liked the build 😊 we have travelled around Europe and Türkiye in the van over the last 7 months - as most of it was spent out of season, parking up was fine and we spent the majority wild camping with no issues. This was filmed on a beach in southern Türkiye and was a great location 😊

    @garenkarapetian709 Год назад +1

    This is what happens when clever people put some thought into the layout and build. Congrats to both of you! This is a great van build!
    What is your insulation? Sprayfoam? And what did you do with bottom triangular holes in Relay/Ducato/Boxer that connect the floor with walls? Did you stuff and seal with moisture barrier, or did you leave them open?
    I've been trying to come up with an "unfolding shower" and such design was among many that crossed my mind (with exception that instead of the shower curtain it'd have the fourth wall unfolding from one of the side-walls), but at the time I wrote it off as having too many factors that could go wrong (and persistent leaks can damage the subflooring and make the van uninhabitable). How has it been working out for you? How often do you use it? Any minor leaks? What are the dimensions of the shower?
    Which solar panels are you using? and what are the dimensions?
    Adding to my favs. Thanks for sharing!
