    Their bed system is genius. They still have a dining/sitting area without compromising with the size of the bed.

      There's so many you see that are convertible but are a pain in the ass to set up and break down, this is SO EASY! Easier than a murphy bed. Amazing

    Some vans are practical but messy looking. Others look beautiful but don't work. You have nailed it with yours. Well thought out layout and beautiful.

    This is my favourite van I've seen. It's such an excellent use of the space. I've never seen anyone else fit in all of the creature comforts and necessities into a van as good as this.

    From the light green paint to the simplicity of their lifestyle in living with what’s only necessary; I’m in awe- they really have what they need and keep it simple- love this! Like she said “ living without an abundance of stuff”

    By far the best van I have seen on youtube has an entire home feeling
    Shower
    Dining

    Toilet
    Storage space
    Kitchen
    Oven you name it

    Beautiful. Comfy very functional. Bathroom a must I agree. That bed slash lounger idea is great. You both made it easy to transition plus the bed stays made up. Love that so much. Tiny homes should do that instead of that tiny uncomfortable looking bench that fold out. You two did a great job on this roomy build. I could actually handle being in it. Roooomy!

    Thank you for no music Chris! This is what makes your van tours so special. Nothing blaring in the background unlike so many others.
    What a well designed van! Functionally complete. Bathroom was a great choice and layout. Colors on cabinets are so soothing and mellow. Van has a homey feel but a great working layout. Well done!

  • @nishantthaccker1173
    @nishantthaccker1173 3 года назад +4

    Wonderful layout and as everyone mentioned in the comments the bed setup is the best ! Guessing the Mechanical Engg. degree came in handy 🙂 - Wonder why other people seem to compromise on the bed size by going with cramped horizontal layout - feel sleep & shower are the most important !!

  • @armyvetgrl2731
    @armyvetgrl2731 3 года назад +1

    One of the best van conversions to a functional living space I have ever seen on RUclips! Everything was well thought out, love that you included a bathroom with a shower, it is so essential and realistic. So many people who converted their vans didn’t do this and their solution was to go to the gym. With Covid-19 that idea was out the door, since all the gyms was locked down for almost a year! Love the retractable bed and kitchen too! They should make a living custom designing vans & other mobile transportation. Thanks for sharing. 👌🏽❤️💕

  • @Southernsunsetters
    @Southernsunsetters 4 года назад +7

    This is my favorite van build, and I’ve watched a lot....quarantine dreaming 😂 I would need a taller fridge than that, but I would fight with myself about sacrificing counter space for it. Icing on the cake for this build would be to add a projector somehow for occasional movie nights!

    • @GinaKayLandis
      @GinaKayLandis 3 года назад

      I am considering just having a freezer, with a cooler (using those ice brick type things for cooling enough for defrosting prepared frozen foods. Or for keeping heavy cream.) Sure is exciting to consider the possibilities!

  • @Kevinmc66

    A nicely done conversion. While this layout seems very familiar with many vanlifers, the quality and colours make it a serene and functional space. Many sensible decisions there, including the bathroom. Appy travels to this couple. Lucky probably lives up to his name with this lifestyle!

    Like this whole can alot!! It's very nicely done. And Lucky is so cute!
    Happy and Safe travels to you both and lucky too....

    Amazing layout and I have watched tons of van conversion over the last 3-4 days. They have everything incl. garage, shower/toilet, sitting area and a full size bed. Most builds and layouts have great sitting area but at cost of proper bed or garage etc. and vice versa. Great stuff 👍
    Love her giggles and the end of a sentence... almost annoying but very cute 😁
