    What’s with all the negativity about it being dark? My Sprinter is even darker inside and I love it. Very cosy and masculine. I think it needs an inside toilet and shower though. I have a slide out shower pan/toilet under the sofa seat.

      Photos really are awesome. That also answers the question as to how. Guy does photo courses, blogs, travel videos and general influencing stuff- he explains it at the end. Probably makes very good money. That van isn't cheap either.

      Thanks. Yes I have online photography courses, workshops, and developed an editing plugin for photohsop. Those are my main income streams

    So what exactly was clever about the design or storage? It's a nice fan sure but pretty standard.

      The company is no longer building, but you can contact the owner Josh Theberge. He can point you towards the same people who worked on mine :)
