    I love this van's layout. Its absolutely stunning. The only thing I'd change would be the toilet, it needs a new location. It would be awkward if you had visitors over and someone needed to use it. Especially if it were raining outside or if you had just had food delivered.

    • @moteroargentino7944
      @moteroargentino7944 Год назад +41

      Yep, for a van that took hosting visitors in it's design, and already has a full shower, it's strange that he decided to put the toilet there.

    • @rchosfan
      @rchosfan Год назад +22

      @@moteroargentino7944 Agreed. Would love to see that in the shower space. Conversely, that opens up the space for more food pantry, kitchen accessories, clothes, etc. where the toilet “was” (under the sink).
      Ultimately, since the entrance through the cab seems secondary (and I do like that concept!), I would prefer to see the toilet in the shower. Temporarily move it out when it’s shower time.

      @@rchosfan Indeed, it looks out of place. That kind of "open toilets" are good only for singles or couples, to save space. If you plan on having people over, you definitely need an enclosed bathroom for privacy.
      Regarding the passway, while I prefer a regular sliding door and stealthy designs, I've seen some vans where they installed a hatch/window. So the opening is downsized to the minimum while still keeping the function of getting through, and they get to use almost all of that space. It looks pretty neat.

      @MP-tw7iq Год назад +18

      It could be an option to set the toilett in the shower but use some space from the garage? So you have more privacy but a little bit less storage room. So with the system which you used now to put it out like now in the living room.

    Absolutely love this van’s layout, especially tucking the toilet (toilets aren’t pretty) and the bed (beds are only used 7-9 hrs a day) out of the way. First van tour where I can picture being happy living in it. And design-wise, it’s beautiful.

  • @lsmith992
    @lsmith992 Год назад +130

    Putting the toilet where the block of drawers currently is would be better, with access to it from the shower only . Not in the aisle which is a really bad idea. I've seen it in that space with pullout access from the shower.

    • @rhearealica4631
      @rhearealica4631 Год назад +8

      I would rather have a curve shower and a secret pull out toilet inside.
      Maybe just make an overhead garage too so that there is access to the front just swivel the passenger chair or something.

    • @artofsam
      @artofsam Год назад +23

      Was about to say the exact same thing, everything else in this layout is 100% perfect and so meticulously planned out that I was a little surprised to see the toilet hadn't been given more consideration. Like you said I have seen another conversion where a couple had the exact same drawer-sliding toilet he had except they installed it inside the shower so not only do you get privacy and keeps odours away but it can just slide back into the the hidden cupboard when you want the space back for showering. If he did exactly that with this van I would be tempted to buy it off him haha.

    A nice tweak would be to make a walnut cutting board milled out on the underside to fit over the induction cooktop, thereby protecting it completely from anything dropping on it.

    • @faustosapienza7375
      @faustosapienza7375 Месяц назад

      indeed, i thought the same, i also thought that he could put a table extender on the right of the counter that can be closed or opened depending on the necessities. I would also put the toilet trolley not under the sink, but in a closed compartment in that garage thing, so that it can be pulled only in the shower and when you need to throw away the bags you would have access directly from the garage, and depending on how much you use it you could even put there the trash bins with an opening to the inside, so that they are completely separated and have an easy access when needed to throw away the trash.

  • @RandysRides
    @RandysRides Год назад +14

    This is the best layout I've seen. You could even reduce seating for us introverts and park a motorcycle in there while travelling.

    • @rchosfan

      Or to allow for more counter space.

  • @smooqalstan6795
    @smooqalstan6795 Год назад +15

    Agree w/moving toilet; just have it on 300lb rail to slide in/out in shower. Move the drawers to where toilet was. Also - that trash can location wouldn’t make it 5mins before you get ticked off and pull it out to use while cooking. 😁. Would worry about stinky salty wet gear smell in garage permeating the main room. Might want to seal that off and have own baby vent for it. But, lovely build. 🤗

    Great layout, I agree, the shower is awesome. I would change the toilet, more so if sharing the van space or in case of guests, I would also probably like a bigger fridge. Otherwise, the design is fantastic. The battery power is far better than the professional builders so to the water capacity. Great job!

    Amazing build and layout! Smart to route all water on one side of the van and separating electrical on other wheel well cabinet. I sometimes see them combined and wonder about safety. Only two minor changes I would make are a hanging rack above the sink to store wet clean dishes after you wash them. An insulated solid lockable pass through door in the cab area. I would feel better if that door could prevent direct access to the living area. Great tour. Thank you!

    • @rchosfan
      @rchosfan Год назад +2

    This guy is amazing, if I am not mistaken this is his 3rd conversion and it still amazing. I got no problem with the shower and the pass through. Amazing. and the garage location is acceptable, but the hole for the hand to get into the slider little bit odd. But since he got full queen size retractable bed, I think sacrificing the garage is reasonable. keep up the amazing work

  • @ivancarli5566
    @ivancarli5566 11 месяцев назад +1

    I feel like a lot of storage space could be fit underneat the floor "around the chassi", I know that is a little tricky to do and could compromise the 4x4 capability, but I have a feeling you could make one of those couch an entire wardrob. Also maybe theres a way to fit eletric panels and water pumps on the chassis as well without have to modify it. I never see someone doing it yet on van layouts, but for someone with your craftman ability I thing that could be the extra next level.

  • @RobertHamon

  • @rchosfan
    @rchosfan Год назад +3

    I know this might sound odd but since you’re “cut off” from quickly seeing out the front, would there be a benefit in having a camera and monitor so that you could quickly turn it on if needed?

  • @rchosfan
    @rchosfan Год назад +2

    Super outstanding-really just amazing! Love the front, vertical garage and that pass-through of the shower to the cab; making the cab into a mudroom during inclement weather. The walkable solar panels are great, too!
    As much as I like the concept of not making the bed each day & having it go up & down, I still might opt for having to make it daily for the increased ceiling height (feeling of more space inside) but, more importantly, to have access to the skylight 24/7. However, I’d almost need to see it in person first.
    All in all, this is fantastic! What I’ve said is just customization that someone may like.

    I think overall the van build is very nice but I don't understand having the toilet in the kitchen and in public? This is not the first van build or whatever that I have seen that. So if you have guests over and they need to use the bathroom they're going to have to use it in front of everybody? That does not make any sense to me. And why would you put essentially a toilet in the same place where you cook food? I'm just trying to make sense of it.

    Best would be for the toilet to be in the shower when not in use- and when in use turned to face the driver seats upon which that door can slide open for your legs to fit behind/between the seats. This would allow you the privacy behind the kitchen facing shower door- especially if that door can be made extra sound insulated.
    Outstanding layout otherwise.

      it gives you the worst of all worlds. no garage storage and a terrible seating area. Its essentially made to give cool instagram pics but it awful in use. Unless you want to longe in your van with zero headroom or have nowhere to sit when the bed is down.

    • @RedDevilDog1207
      @RedDevilDog1207 Год назад

    Ahhh this is so gorgeous, and I love the battery capacity. A 3000 watt 😅inverter isn’t enough, though. I have a 3000 watt inverter, and although my induction stove and blender both pull less than 1500 watts, the initial surge usually trips the inverter so I can only really use them when plugged in. Same with the 1500 watt portable ac I briefly had. Couldn’t run it though it should have been fine. It’s the surges that kill you. Also, that’s such little solar.

    Love that corner shower, however is the second nautilus door not insulated would want it to have that added temp control.
    Also I have issues with toilets and food prep areas. I would love to see the toilet coming from the storage area into the shower from a pull out compartment. The storage area- I would like to see an insulated removable exterior panel. Easier way to remove waste without carrying it thru the van.
    Question can a happy jack bed be a king size?
    Its a beautiful build. You have an amazing sense of design. Thank you for sharing your talent.

    The shower idea is original. My first change is moving the toilet into the cabinet next to the shower and pulling it from the inside. The shower is also considered a very rarely used space, so I might be opening up the front and making the walkthrough to the driver's cabin more open or coming up with some idea to utilize the shower space as a desk or something when it's not in use which is 90% of the times if not 99%. Ideas are flowing...

    I've seen dozens and dozens of conversion videos. Talking just about the layout this one takes the cake for me. Except for the toilet

      Many people have them shipped. It's not as expensive as you might think.

    Love this layout and aesthetics…I would use same toilet, but just put in shower. When you shower take it out
