      @osogoodgirl 3 года назад

      Agreed. Maybe they did it that way so the food was on the same side as the counter space. I think I'd have done it your way though.

    Great job you two! So many van people have locked in on sprinters and promasters and have lost sight of the benefits of older vans. Beautiful wood and color combo's!

    I love the older style vans vs the sprinters and pro masters. Hanna and Cody did a great job with the design - you wouldn't have guessed it was impromptu. It's great that they kept it open and spacious. Hanna's design sense is spot on. Bonus, Hanna talking about their relationship during the build ❤️!

    We've got a 99D190V. Love Roadtrek's. I think you did a great job, love the woodwork. I was initially thinking you made a mistake getting rid of the toilet. Then I saw how you did it, that was a great idea. The way you redid the interior makes it not look/seem so claustrophobic.
    Who cares what other people think of your mods, you make it comfortable for you.

    I wouldn't give up my hanging wardrobe...or an enclosed 🚻 bathroom with a sink. I prefer an actual fridge [front opening]with a little freezer compartment. However, as you have an ice chest, I would put a bench over it 4 more seating. One thing I just love about that van is the sloping skylights! The plant shelf is so charming. Nice 2C you still have a Toilet 🚻 😀.

    This is the nicest van I have seen, I love ♥️ the openness of it! And my fav thing is the placement of the bathroom; I like the way it's configured, only I would suggest a drape for privacy, so while one is doing their business, one could be on the other side sitting in a chair! The colors are Beautiful, neutral, soft, inviting, So Appealing! Love LOVE the simple clean open look! You all did EXCELLENTLY, Luxury in a tiny space. Love the plants, wood look, cute fridge chest, bed, 'SO CUTE, SO NEAT'!

      Love the potty idea too! I have NEVER used the shower, so this transformation makes perfect sense to me. I sometimes take my grandchildren (ages 6 - 10) , one at a time, on RoadTrek adventures, and they have all been taught the Fine Art of a sponge bath. I would though still keep my sweet "shower curtain" for potty privacy. Also looks like the standard Air Conditioner unit in the back is gone: I have never use it so would be nice to have that extra storage space. AND getting rid of the fridge in favor of the ultimate cool - I love that too. Thanks for the awesome video share.

    Our neighbors down the street are currently doing a van conversion similar to what you've done. They had a larger trailer but decided to downsize.
    I have a 1981 Chevy Class C that I've reconditioned. Being new at RV camping, I've noticed there is a lot to learn. I've watched a lot from RVStreet on RUclips. Unfortunately, he passed away recently from cancer.
    If the van is rockin', i wont come knockin'

    Beautiful job. Interior was very well done, and well thought out. I kind of like the outside too. In great shape, but just looks like an old 1980's van. And no one would know what is on the inside. Kind of a "grey man" look. By the way, the fake plants add a nice touch. Make it a little more warm and homey.

  • @timgillman
    @timgillman 2 года назад

    I really like the open concept with the toilet in the cabinet instead of a closet. It would have been good to make the cabinet door open to block views from the front-end you could open the other to block views from the back. We do use the shower in our 190 Popular but not as much as the toilet. We often leave the bed made up for the whole trip as well. I didn't see an awning, but you can use suction cups with hooks, or your metal bar and a suction cup with a hook to put up a light tarp or rain fly for shade and a little cover. We like having chairs and a small table to spend the time out of the van. Also a $25 hammock makes a great addition. Have fun and be safe.

    Nice job, guys! Just a thought: when the budget allows, you might want to consider swapping out the cooler for a 12 volt compressor refrigerator. There are some that are the same size as your existing cooler and also open like your cooler. Some even have 2 compartments with the flexibility of running as a refrigerator and/or freezer.
