    I lived on a sail boat for 7 years. It’s genius that the interior is marine grade. When I build my rig everything will be marine grade. If it can sustain living on water, sea salt, constant dampness and the pounding of sailing on huge waves . . . it can hold up thru ANYTHING!!
    Hats off to the builder and congratulations to you. ⛵️ & 🚐

    This is the first build that makes me consider buying something from an RV manufacturer instead of making my own. Very smart layout, and the weight saving using composite materials must be dramatic. Every single van build I see full of wood I just think "my god, the weight!"

    That’s a very stealthy RV. I looked at Class B’s years ago but bought a class C because I’m 6’ 2”. I’ve never dumped my black tank because I prefer to use a bucket and pee jug.
    I was a Truck Driver 26 years and got use to doing it that way. My 24’ class C was only 5 years old with 23,000 miles. I bought it from a man in his 80’s who got it new but then he had a stroke 5 years later. It was only $36k.

      Poor old man! He probably saved up his whole life to buy that RV, and spend his “golden years” in retirement having fun traveling in it seeing the country, only to have it cut short by health issues. Lesson learned! Go into debt EARLY and have your fun traveling while you’re YOUNG and healthy, so you’ll have fond memories and photos to look back on and tell wild stories about when you’re strapped in your La-Z-Boy Recliner as a sick and disabled old raisin!

Happily I use pine pellets in a barrel type porta-potty. To empty it, I just lift out the plastic bag out for disposal into any trash -- no odor, no mess. Works great.

They appreciate that there are people who have neurological issues. All you have to do is be someone who get motion sickness or migraines to be disturbed by the camera work.

    I love those new toilets that hold mylar bags, that twist and seal after you go. Then it drops the bag to the bottom, and puts up a new bag. And, after 15 flushes, you remove the garbage bag (ready to go into a dumpster), and you insert a new box of bags. It's very clean, has no smell, and there's no need for water or a holding tank. And, it comes with pee absorbing crystals, that you can use to avoid having to flush every time.

      there r ways to do this without bags. and you just let the material go back to nature. It is very good for the soil (when your body is free from medicines drugs and alcohol and artificial things) the plants grow in such fertilized soil very nice and abundant. It is better to be vegetarian / vegan for that reason too. poo is better less smelly more easy and its better for the land too.

    Of course, I'm biased since we own an Embassy, but you just can't beat the quality and finish! I'm sure some will want wood cabinets, which is understandable, but having no mold is far better as far as we're concerned.
    And we really love that there is no propane. Even though LP is a far more efficient energy source, especially for heating, it just isn't worth the bother and extra work to maintain.

    I am so impressed. I thought I didn’t like that layout, but I’m changing my mind.
    The advantage of the rear bath is that you can pull the shower head outside if needed.
    I also think the air vents/fans are a cool concept.
    Im not sure about the lack of opening windows. I love my awning style windows.
    I also don’t like the cabinet finish at all. I get the concept but I prefer the warm look of light wood.
    I would also like an electric outlet outside so that I could use the induction cooktop outside. I’ll have to check it that’s an option.
    I didn’t see screens. Cheri, if you are interested in a screen for you sliding door opening, Rolef out of Laval, Que, has an amazing product and even better customer service.

I know Rolef makes some quality screens for sure. I can run a cord from an outlet inside the van to the outside. There is a way to run a cord from inside the van to outside without the doors open.

    It's actually a "scupper". Its usually used on boat and ships to allow water to escape or enter but in this case it is to allow air in and out of the rv. And with the way they are angled down and back, it's to prevent water from entering while driving.

    Great build, looks like it would last and withstand road stress. Love the stealthiness! As much as I dislike plastic and metal, these are the best materials for van structures. Most van builders have never considered what will happen to all the wood in a crash. The cabinet latches seem very secure, however I would probably injure myself with the mechanism that protrudes from inside the door. I suppose I'd adapt to the latch/unlatch action - seems awkward? The drawers inside cabinets are also a mixed awkwardness question... This would be a good van to rent for a week or so to see how well it works before implementing these ideas.

    I have a C-Head composting toilet, it’s wonderful! You don’t have to unlatch the base and take the whole thing out, just lift lid and carry out the bucket. C-Head uses a 1 gallon jug for liquid waste, which we get from water or milk. Cost nothing extra. Other compost toilets, it can cost $35-$40 to replace the proprietary container. The C-Head looks more residential and is less expensive!
