I love how you can walk through the van and the bed space is still its own cozy little nook. There’s plenty of storage and a real indoor shower. I would say, it’s one of the best, most unique builds I’ve seen, replicating the look and feel of a home on wheels.
@@MiaHawkART Hi. I am trying to guess where your toilet and refrigerator is at. Can you please show me. Thank you. Your van is the nicest and cleanest I’ve ever seen.
AWESOME BUILD!! Love the bed, oven/stove, shower!! Where is the "potty"??? Love the spacial areas not boxy also the shades are perfect!! More on the lighting etc please.
Lyrica Harris ~ Yes, her body period, but her arms are to die for. As a matter of fact, she is cute and oviously a - kick_ a$$ woman. Love her art work also.
@@seattlerain4809 There's plenty of people doing exactly that and having more fun than you, tired from your 9 till 5 on your toilet, contemplating where you did wrong while you munch on your cheddar cheese block from the fridge.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. I saw a folding bed in one van that you lift up to make a sofa and have more space. This one gives you a whole wall. Her van looks so spacious!
You can put the toilet in the shower, ive seen that heaps, people just roll it out when they shower. Simple, also the vacuum seal toilet is brilliant. It vacuum seals your poop 💩 down to a tiny size, once all the cartridges are full, you just put them in bim. No smell, no liquid to empty and environment friendly. 😊
Hello! and thanks so much :-D I don't have a loo or a fridge, I do have a coolbox! There are several reasons for this, so what I think I'm going to do is make a short video on my channel in the coming week about some of those reasons, (and other questions people had!) rather than writing a length reply to every comment :-)
@@MiaHawkART No passage from the cab into the living space either? So you have to use either the side door or the rear doors to get in? You've done a really nice job, I'm curious to see if the screwed together aluminum will hold up. Creative solution!
There are basically about six general van layouts, now there are seven basic van layouts. Your layout is very original. I am impressed with your bed, and the way you have managed to fit everything in. Aluminum framing is a good idea. You are a very hard working skilled person and have created something that shows your personality, well done. Enjoy your travels.
This does NOT look like a van, or any kind of RV. It looks like a really nice studio apartment, both in floorplan and decoration. I absolutely adore this!! The only thing I really wish you had included in this video would be the entrance from the side sliding door. If there are other pictures, I would love to see them. I am so impressed with everything she did to this van, including her artwork. I am so inspired (& slightly envious) of her talent. She really should consider starting a business doing this for others. Not only does she include all the neccesry items for day to day living, she also adds little touchess here & there to make it so homey, elegent, comfortable & unique. Best van ever!!!! 💕💕💕
thank you so much for all the compliments, I think what I'm going to do is create a little video over on my channel in a while answering most of the questions from the comments here :-)
Very well thought out. Storage is great. Great shower. Beautiful wood tones and the bed is awesome. I watched this video 3 times and I didn’t see the fridge, toilet or clothing storage. Not sure how I’m missing them. You should be very proud of the beautiful build.
so so so cool and please send the plans and make them available, its really great, if I will build my van, it will be with a murphy bed system, your's is really one of the best I saw up to now.
This has to be the most genius van layout I've seen in the thousands I've watched over the last seven years. The ONLY thing I'd change if it were mine is the wall color. Coupled with the dreary cloudy days of the UK 🇬🇧 it would take less than a month to have me so depressed I would do little else but sleep. 😴 Next would be hospitalization which isn't good. I'd paint it some light happy color, and some teal somewhere. Possibly the base cabinets in the kitchen and a very light teal for the back splash. Thanks for having her here.❤
I just built a bed like this in my sons tiny bedroom and the legs have been giving me nightmares. Not any more, thanks a billion for this inspiration. I was over complicating it all.
Most propane tanks leak that cupbord that yours is in needs to be air tight on the inside and needs a vent to the outside so you dont suffocate or blow yourself up seriously.
I watch m JDs today lol love you thank you for our gift. JD.i love.the way your dialect..or lingo...er language ..ebonics is also how I am able to fully understand the importance of your work. And goD bless...you make.my day I always csnt.help but my soul sings.and.my heart smiles...my dear.JD.sir You are so unique and
I love the fold up bed idea. Not only cos it saves time but it also keeps the smell from cooking from lingering on the sheets and pillows. Like how you organised your cutlery - v creative like the artist in you. Your paintings are lovely!
I absolutely love this design. I'd like to see a way to get to the cab from inside the van for safety reasons. But this is my favorite build I've ever seen. 😍💜💜💜
Instead of a shelf-top I would install a door/bookcase that leads to the cab. You get the same cozy home feel and just as much storage space if not more..
I agree, although when I was on a bike riding around, I never really thought about this type of thing. Probably b/c on a 900lb bike and heavy leather gear, you look like you'd be armed and not to play with lol
Hi Mia, 3 questions about your newest gorgeous van conversion, do you have a portable toilet, and your heater what does it fuel with, and finally do you have a fridge??? Beautiful art work!!
This is exactly why I want a van too. To escape and be able to focus on my work for several hours at a time each day with minimal other demands on my time or attention. Since I'm just one person, I opted to build a sofa that expands to a bed for one but CAN be extended further up against a sideboard to fit 2 people if needed. I also did not want a fixed bed for the same reason. I MUST have a good work space. I love her color palette and the shower door! Well done!
Yes, I agree that she should have plans for the layout! 🤔🤗 I love the Murphy bed... I’m rather claustrophobic so I would choose lighter colours and add a nice big window above the couch. I’d have to fit in a toilet and small fridge, then it would be perfect for me. I def want to use aluminum framing instead of wood as well so I love seeing good examples of this! 👌🚐 🎨 🐦 💪🏻🗺😎
I can understand your instinct, but you'd be amazed how dark colors can disappear around you, leaving a sensation at once of infinite space and a cocoon. As a designer, I've done studies for clients in deep tones like chocolate, blue, and burgundy.
thank for the compliment, I don't have a fridge, I'll try and make a video with some of the questions people have about the van in the next week on my channel! Easier to explain etc :-) and yes! if I ever do need to go for a looooong trip that's completely off grid, that's exactly what my plan was with the loo.
@@MiaHawkART I’ve survived without a fridge before, so know it’s doable 🙂👍 Yessss portable loo for emergencies is a good plan. Then again, if you’re going to be out in the wilderness, a shovel will do the trick as well 😁
Hands down one of the best builds I have seen, and we are talking years and hundreds of videos. Love all of it. Love your artwork, you are all around inspiring af. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Wow. Love it seeing ladies take the leap & independently build a home. Talented artist & beautiful lady I wish u so much happiness in ur awesome home. Xx
This is very interesting, the bed idea is very clever. As a fellow artist I find the lack of colour and light a bit depressing but you have packed in a lot into your space. Could not be without a toilet or fridge either.
I love how it’s been done. It’s like an artists studio!! We had a small caravan with that type of heater. We never used the heater once when it was cold. We bought a fan heater and that was enough to warm the place up. In fact too warm!!
Since this is one of the only channels featuring UK builds, could you do a video on where you can get water / dump grey water and compost toilet etc? It seems quite easy in America but I don't know what you'd do here unless you had a friend or family member happy to accommodate
Super interesting van build. The most stylish and tasteful finish I’ve seen (fellow artist here), the shower, bed and heater are briliant, plus the workspace! Definately a good build for your purpose and for northern European climate! Assuming one could fit a toilet in somewhere and some form of fridge it’s amongst the top five plans in my book. I’d have put a picture window in over the seat for natural light doing artwork and a place to enjoy a scenic surrounding, but that’s just me, I need windows to not get the heebiejeebies in small spaces ;) Lovely and very schrewd! You should definately put your technical bedbuild plans out for purchase! ❤️🙏
It's very good in a number of ways, the only lacking items seem to be a toilet, and a way through to the cab. Worth checking the gas locker seals properly, and a decent drop-out vent is there: but with mesh to stop small furry visitors!
Hello! thank you so much! I don't have a toilet, I'll try and make a video with some of the questions people have about the van in the next week on my channel! Easier to explain etc :-) have a great day :-)
Beautiful bed setup. The thickness of the mattress may have made the job harder. Making a bed that is easy to jump in at night and out of the way during the day is a real boost to your space. Nicely done.
I am brand new to this type of living... I went down the "rabbit hole," if you will. I am so interested in any of your videos. Can you recommend any of them that would be helpful to a "new be?" Thank you so very much! I look forward to hearing from you!
Beautiful build! Seems a bit heavy but I am sure the weight on the van was considered and still met requirements. I agree with one other comment that there should be access to driver’s area in case of an emergency or a need to get out of the area without stepping out of the van, especially at night.
I dunno. You'd have to get it weighed, I'd think. I've seen pro RV companies (that make the replica Shasta) that got it recalled for incorrect balance that could cause blowouts and such.
@@xtrax38 Hello internet expert. Have you ever thought about that different people have different requirements for there VAN? This one, with minor changes will be adequate for my needs and wishes. But feel free to show me s VAN concept that better meets my requirements and wishes.
@@arvidjohansson3120 Hello from one expert to another. Like I said there a plenty of van builds you can watch and copy rather than this one. If you do copy do a better finish all round and do not copy the electrics, that part was shocking...
Such a beautiful and functional space... Like some of your other commenters asked... do you have a fridge...?? toilet....?? and where do you enter into the van..?? do you have access to/from the driver's compartment..?? Really enjoyed your video... :)
I second Nates idea of selling the plans for the bed. I would definitely buy it myself and I'd be surprised if a good proportion of the viewers and commenters didn't want to buy it as well. Definitely a (small) gold mine and a source of a little constant income.
Beautiful van build and I love the Murphy bed ! The space layout, organization features and shower layout are really incredible. Very well done - Bravo !
I love how you can walk through the van and the bed space is still its own cozy little nook. There’s plenty of storage and a real indoor shower. I would say, it’s one of the best, most unique builds I’ve seen, replicating the look and feel of a home on wheels.
thanks so much for the compliment!
@@MiaHawkART Hi. I am trying to guess where your toilet and refrigerator is at. Can you please show me. Thank you. Your van is the nicest and cleanest I’ve ever seen.
Usually, they feel extremely claustrophobic. Even the Sprinters at 220k. Lol
AWESOME BUILD!! Love the bed, oven/stove, shower!! Where is the "potty"???
Love the spacial areas not boxy also the shades are perfect!! More on the lighting etc please.
Can we talk about her Sarah Connor arms? Amazing!! But, yeah, this is one of the best vans I've seen yet. Absolutely love it!!
why would we ?
Lyrica Harris ~ Yes, her body period, but her arms are to die for. As a matter of fact, she is cute and oviously a - kick_ a$$ woman. Love her art work also.
Not seen many van builds I guess 🥴
Yes she's fit and tight.
She's certainly prepared if Sky Net do take over.
Between the roomy shower and murphy bed, the spaciousness is maximized! This design seemingly creates a fourth dimension of space!
This is not a van. It is an apartment. Well done!
A moving apartment
It has such a unique layout that looks so different from the typical van layouts. Plus that's a cute bird she's painting!
@@seattlerain4809 There's plenty of people doing exactly that and having more fun than you, tired from your 9 till 5 on your toilet, contemplating where you did wrong while you munch on your cheddar cheese block from the fridge.
I've never lived in an apartment with no refrigerator and no toilet. Have you?
I started to say the exact same thing and this build is brilliant too
I love the foldable bed design. Please consider making a build-plan available for purchase
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. I saw a folding bed in one van that you lift up to make a sofa and have more space. This one gives you a whole wall. Her van looks so spacious!
Best van ever especially relevant to the UK
You can put the toilet in the shower, ive seen that heaps, people just roll it out when they shower. Simple, also the vacuum seal toilet is brilliant. It vacuum seals your poop 💩 down to a tiny size, once all the cartridges are full, you just put them in bim. No smell, no liquid to empty and environment friendly. 😊
This camper van conversion is outstanding. Great separation of spaces, clever bed design! Thank you for taking the time to film and share.
Great ideas! Gorgeous art. She seems like such a cool person. Her art is gorgeous!
That bed is really, really clever. One of the most 'spacious' vans we've seen.
now this is an interesting van it's well done she's clever beside she uses every space ..Good job
This van is gorgeous. Unique use of the space making it look like a studio apartment. But where is the fridge and do you have a toilet?
I also wondering the same thing no fridge?
Exactly! I was going to ask also!

The van is gorgeous and she is so talented. I love love love that bird painting she was working on.
Watching these van/bus/rv tours really feels like I need to get one especially with all this craziness happening around the world.
This is one of the coolest van builds I've ever seen 😍
This is the coolest most well built of all Van I have ever watch. And I watched thousands 😅
Artists are amazing in their ability to manipulate spaces. Very, very impressive.
Wow. Love it seeing ladies take the leap & independently build a home. Talented artist & beautiful lady I wish u so much happiness in ur awesome home. Xx
Admirable conversion with a “supplément d’âme!”! Thank you for sharing
best van design i've ever seen on tube, which serves both living and working purposes.
VERY Clever design & innovative, one of the best I've seen! Beautiful artwork too! Thanks for sharing! 💕
This is one of the best van built I've seen, believe me I"ve seen hundreds and this is on my top 5 list.
Great conversion. I’m building a mobile art studio/camper van myself now. You definitely gave me some ideas.
great! good luck!
This is very interesting, the bed idea is very clever. As a fellow artist I find the lack of colour and light a bit depressing but you have packed in a lot into your space. Could not be without a toilet or fridge either.
Brilliant design and layout! I really like how she did her van!
I've rented through Outdoorsy and their customer service is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!
I love how it’s been done. It’s like an artists studio!!
We had a small caravan with that type of heater. We never used the heater once when it was cold. We bought a fan heater and that was enough to warm the place up. In fact too warm!!
Since this is one of the only channels featuring UK builds, could you do a video on where you can get water / dump grey water and compost toilet etc? It seems quite easy in America but I don't know what you'd do here unless you had a friend or family member happy to accommodate
It’s good to actually see you in the video, Nate! And I love her van & art work!
This is one of the best uses of space in a van that I have seen. Very well designed.
I love it it’s the perfect home it’s the best I have seen and I have seen alot
I found you through this video. Your van is more like an apartment rather than a camper van. Very , very nice and well organized.
Clever bed design. That might allows so much space for daily living in the van. Love it👍
Also that bird she was working on has amazing colors 😍😍
yes that's exactly it! as well as plenty of loading space when I use the van for transporting art/stock.
Super interesting van build. The most stylish and tasteful finish I’ve seen (fellow artist here), the shower, bed and heater are briliant, plus the workspace!
Definately a good build for your purpose and for northern European climate!
Assuming one could fit a toilet in somewhere and some form of fridge it’s amongst the top five plans in my book.
I’d have put a picture window in over the seat for natural light doing artwork and a place to enjoy a scenic surrounding, but that’s just me, I need windows to not get the heebiejeebies in small spaces ;)
Lovely and very schrewd!
You should definately put your technical bedbuild plans out for purchase!
❤️🙏
Your van is a beautiful piece of art . I love it and enjoyed your tour.
thank you!
Her bed is a very smart design!
I really love the bed.
She's very genius on her van set-up.. and that's the best bed set-up that I watched so far!! Bravo!
Looks like an apartment. Great job
This build is quite original and clever. I love the Murphy bed and the blinds on the back. It looks like a warm, comfortable home.
The BEST conversion I’ve seen!!! Quite lovely!!
I found you through this video. The colors on the bird you were brilliant and I was emotional touch, feeling extremely light and joyful.
Great van! Great layout & design. Just wish it wasn't filmed near a playground.
That’s art bird is actually good
What a beautiful human being..wishing you all the best.
It's very good in a number of ways, the only lacking items seem to be a toilet, and a way through to the cab. Worth checking the gas locker seals properly, and a decent drop-out vent is there: but with mesh to stop small furry visitors!
Love the build, you did and awesome job. Beautiful, hope you can inspire many on your design
Quite possibly the best van design I have seen thus far!! What an independent and intelligent woman💪🔥 I am envious!!
What an excellent use of space with this design!
it was a real puzzle to get it right!
this one looks nice did I miss the part about the toilet
Best van I’ve ever seen. Did I miss where the toilet is?
I missed it too :)))
where is the fridge?
Hello! thank you so much! I don't have a toilet, I'll try and make a video with some of the questions people have about the van in the next week on my channel! Easier to explain etc :-) have a great day :-)
Very Classy Design.
I agree .... The Bed design is an absolute money maker for her.
Yeah, through out the design for the bed! I'd pay! Gorgeous van and build!
This will forever be my favorite van build.
I'd Love to see the plan of the bed!
Of ALL the van conversions I've seen, this one is my favorite!
Beautiful bed setup. The thickness of the mattress may have made the job harder. Making a bed that is easy to jump in at night and out of the way during the day is a real boost to your space. Nicely done.
I am brand new to this type of living... I went down the "rabbit hole," if you will. I am so interested in any of your videos. Can you recommend any of them that would be helpful to a "new be?" Thank you so very much! I look forward to hearing from you!
Wonderful van, well done ! Love it .
Beautiful build! Seems a bit heavy but I am sure the weight on the van was considered and still met requirements. I agree with one other comment that there should be access to driver’s area in case of an emergency or a need to get out of the area without stepping out of the van, especially at night.
I dunno. You'd have to get it weighed, I'd think.
I've seen pro RV companies (that make the replica Shasta) that got it recalled for incorrect balance that could cause blowouts and such.
Gorgeous van!!
This is by far the best panel van layout I've seen, perfection 👍🏻
Holy hell this was good... Great content as usual!
Impressive van build, wow! She is very skilled indeed. Thanks for the tour.
I liked the bidet/kitchen sprayer idea for a shower. Smart.
I will probably copy this design when I build my VAN in the very distant future. Would only add a cassette toilet for emergency
And a frig!
@@robinrodriquez4725 Definitely! We need to keep are weggies and steaks fresh.
Sorry but watch more van builds, this one's not all that...
@@xtrax38 Hello internet expert. Have you ever thought about that different people have different requirements for there VAN? This one, with minor changes will be adequate for my needs and wishes. But feel free to show me s VAN concept that better meets my requirements and wishes.
@@arvidjohansson3120 Hello from one expert to another. Like I said there a plenty of van builds you can watch and copy rather than this one. If you do copy do a better finish all round and do not copy the electrics, that part was shocking...
I just said I preferred a fixed bed, second Murphy build I have viewed today and since its doable, its a yes. Great build lady.
Such a beautiful and functional space... Like some of your other commenters asked... do you have a fridge...?? toilet....?? and where do you enter into the van..?? do you have access to/from the driver's compartment..?? Really enjoyed your video... :)
I second Nates idea of selling the plans for the bed. I would definitely buy it myself and I'd be surprised if a good proportion of the viewers and commenters didn't want to buy it as well. Definitely a (small) gold mine and a source of a little constant income.
Working on it 😉
#vangoals and #gainzgoals girl is jacked 💪🏼🙌🏼❤️
ahahahahahhaa! thanks!
Beautiful van build and I love the Murphy bed ! The space layout, organization features and shower layout are really incredible. Very well done - Bravo !
