    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    With a passion for designing and building, Quin is on his 7th van build! His current rig is a box truck office on wheels that converts into a sleeper similar to a hotel room. There's an overall Japanese theme with frosted windows that glow at night, lanterns, and an abundance of soft wood tones.
    An incredible feature is the main office area elevates through the roof for an exterior office overlooking the landscape. He installed a 5x5ft pull-out back porch that completely disappears under the truck when not in use. Quin primarily uses this tiny home on wheels as an office with multiple places to work and several projector screens around the interior. Although there aren't any windows, a massive skylight above lets in enough natural light to enhance the space!

The guy seems cool though confused and if we were friends I'd call him on it because it's hilarious how often he says it on this video and to help him out at the same time like a real friend would. My educated guess that he is confused comes from him calling his pan a pot. I'll have to check out his photography work. He's got great design skills for sure.

    Finally! a build that isn’t full of a kitchen!!!. Actually focusing on living- what we do in our waking hours - working and chilling on a couch. I also love that it isn’t full of a bed. Again the focus on waking hours. I don’t understand why vans want a full kitchen. You can cook outside. Also, you don’t feel like cooking a lot when you’re working a lot either. This is probably the most digital nomad friendly build. As a woman I’d prefer a bathroom but it makes sense for a guy

    Yet another crazy American guy building a genius van! Love it;
    Poplar is one of the lightest hardwoods, strong yet light. Good choice.
    I'm in awe of the Happijac bed lift that levitates straight through the roof, ha ha! Imagine sunbathing shirtless while working on your laptop below deck. Utterly nuts and I'm loving it!
    I like your van. The Ford E350 is a solid beast. Nice and roomy too. Your furniture is modular. The outside deck is genius and I'm in envy of that beautiful platform. So nice!
    You should consider a small camp kitchen box that you unfold, Japanese style to fit a stove, cutlery, pans, etc. Look at Novice DIYer (2 videos), and Pungo Prairie Lake Moomaw Chuck Box (2 videos) for the smartest designs. Build that and you have a rolling kitchen you can put on your deck and cook on. Add a big fridge, this is important, so you can freeze or refrigerate cooked food for a week and free yourself. Not having a kitchen means you are eating poorly which is bad for health. Also add a shower, a proper one, not that makeshift Mickey Mouse thingie. Now its a build. Best van builds are by Humble Road. You see how he laid out his plumbing, its a work of art.
    Good luck young man! You are making fine vans, great job!

    With your talents you need to come up with a trim-kit for the outside, that would go from a commercial look that you have now and when you want to go to the beach, maybe you can have some kind of a shade screens that's fixed to the top of the box and crank down by hand or electric. Then have some kind of a scene painted on it, surfing or a woody look and roll it up when not in uses 🤔 😜

Not sure if you mentioned. I guess the roof would have to be open for it to lift?
