    I don’t know what this guy does for a living but he definitely has a bright future in designing van builds and/or building vans. Most van and suv builds have places to sleep but little place to hang out. This van is fantastic. He even thought how to have an AC unit. I know I had to have a working ac unit when I had my suv. I never dry docked in it. I went to state parks.

    I love the use of black in the van. It makes it look very much like a modern apartment from the city. I love the leaves artwork, too. It really does bring a nice pop of color to the space. Where you put the shower is genius. I think the only thing I don't like is the toilet, but that is just me. I am sure it is fine for someone younger.

    • @skywalker6648
      @skywalker6648 Год назад +2

      Same and along with the van, there is more of a home like feel too. I just didn't care for the location of the toilet. Seem like it should be within or closer to the shower with more privacy like in some other van builds. Overall, nice and professional looking.

    I love the floorplan of this design, especially the pass-through shower. However I think I'd actually go with a more traditional layout such as TTTHEFINEPRINTTT, in that, I need a desk space for gaming, as that's the spot I'm spending most of my time in. If Mercedes, Ford, or Ram could come up with another 36-42" on the length, I'd incorporate this design for that one. Otherwise, I love it! Well done!

    I really love this set up the best and I have looked at a lot of videos. His corner shower is a unique efficient use of space and it is just roomy and provides everything you need minus the toilet. We also would want the toilet somewhere other than the shower. His choice of toilet style is one that we would also want. The elevator bed (with the skylight being a must ❤️) is already something I know that I would want. That is just so cool and such an efficient use of space. One day we would love to get on the road living out of our van and traveling the United States . 🤗

    Like a human equivalent of a Bowerbird song. Methinks yours is the best.
