    Dude, you guys rock at this! Have you looked into recirculating showers in your builds? That would extend boondocking in a huge way. So put one in a build! I so want to see how it works!

    I love the kitchen in this spot more than where it typically is where it's extended to the doorway. The fact that it's not the bathroom that you first see when you open the door gives a little more privacy when you're using it.

  • @midnite22767
    @midnite22767 5 лет назад +1

    Beautiful build. Incredible attention to detail! Love the pull out fridge. I also like that you made the kitchen side of the van a little wider than the opposite side to give a larger bathroom. So glad to see the composting toilet with a diverter to the gray water tank, brilliant. Must be a very good reason why the water fill is tucked away like that. I would have liked to see one with access without having to open that door. I have a feeling you guys are going to get busier with every beautiful van you turn out.

    AWESOME BUILD! WHAT AN AMAZING JOB. I like the simplicity of it. I'm in the process of my build in research as of now, the floor plan and comparing products. I'm planning on living in my van so I dont want any windows along the van other than the slider and rear doors. I'm an seamstress/upholster by trade for 16 yrs in the boat manufacturer industry as well as an otr truck driver for 12 years. I love getting ideas from builders, rv manufacturers and the marine industry.

    This dude got the best van ever. I am super impressed with the layout and the only thing that i would change if i were to make mine is i would go for atleast 500 amp battery with 2000 watt inverter and also i would go for a removable toilet just because i can't digest wet bath and i think that would same some space but hey that's subjective to every individuals needs anyway i loved the tour

    The van looks amazing!! Such a great layout!! We are using some of you ideas for our bus. One question though about the toilet set up. If the urine is directed into the grey water tank isn’t it black water? We’re new at this and have been wondering about this bc we want to go with a composting toilet that separates the liquids but build our own bc we don’t have $1000 for a natures head. Anyway thanks for always sharing awesome content! ❤️

I watched dozens of videos, yours and others, and I've never seen a van with seating and sleeping for two kids (not babies). That would be so interesting. Could it be that it is not possible on a sprinter?
