    Welcome to our latest van tour! We just finished this van conversion with a full bathroom in a 2018 144" Mercedes Sprinter Van.
    When our client, Edward, came to us wanting to build a van with a bathroom in a 144” Sprinter, we knew it was going to be a challenge. We got creative to be able to give him a full bathroom with a toilet and shower, a convertible table/bed area, a closet for storage and a full kitchen.

      Your van builds stand top tier above the major brands! Wherein most corporate camper vans are badly engineered that ironically struggle to fit or, rather, possess a washable lavatory. How insane is that? But for your business and ingenuity, it's a no brainer! *GREAT JOB!*

    At last! A van that has my priorities! Shower & toilet, no oven and no cooktop. Just give me a good sink like this one, and enough counter space for a hot plate. Only thing I'd add is a convection microwave. I don't need "workspace" because I'm (blissfully) retired. Love this.

And having experienced living in a van is even better cuz you can advise others having lived it! WOOOOOOW!!!!

  • @mayareign3649
    @mayareign3649 Год назад

    This would be perfect for me when I'm in California and to take road trips in the summer with my 5 year old grandson. The only thing I might change is having the table almost the same height as the kitchen counter and a small pull out counter on the side of the countertop to make a little extra corner counter, food processing space. If that makes sense. I also have ideas about the kitchen being in the back for an outside type kitchen, opening the back doors. Yet that might take away from the self contained aspect of the whole design. (Maybe put the faucet on one side?) Idk. Anywho, I would love for you guys to build me a custom designed van. That would be epic...
