Hey hey! There's been a ton of interest in where the kiddos sleep in the rig, and @shelterinplacezz just made a video explaining just that! Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/vgcqte2RKt0/видео.html 😊
Thank you🙏👏👏👏👏🤪
Hey everyone, thanks for all of your comments! I do see a lot of interest in seeing where the kids sleep. We usually set up a tent if we’re staying in a campground but I will be putting together a video and showing how we all sleep in the van! Keep looking out for the video should be coming out soon!
Thank you!!
Thanks - looking forward to that video!
Nice as couples van but where do the kids sleep?
Greg & Maria mentioned that typically they set up a tent outside for sleeping. :) However, they are going to make a RUclips video soon about how all of them can sleep in the van. Check out their channel to stay up to date: youtube.com/@shelterinplacezz
Where do your kids sleep?
Most of the time Greg & Maria set up a tent outside at campgrounds for sleeping. :)
Update: Check out their new YT video showing us where they all sleep! :) ruclips.net/video/vgcqte2RKt0/видео.html
Thank you for sharing and for not giving up on your vision.
I was wondering the same thing. Where do the kids sleep?
They actually just made a video on their YT explaining! :) Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/vgcqte2RKt0/видео.html
I love this! Something so simple as having the clocks for three different timezones was so smart and fun!
One of my very fave van builds ever!!! Where do your children sleep, though?? For 2 it seems perfect!! Love it if there is a place to sleep 2 more.
Glad you enjoyed the video! We will be putting together another video soon that shows where our kids sleep in the van. When we go to campgrounds, we usually set up a tent.
That butcher block top though! 🤩
Works for two ppl. Nice looking build with limitations.
Awesome build! Where do the kids sleep?
I wondered that too!
Thanks! It is a very tiny space, but we are able to get our boys to sleep in their spaces. We will be posting a video about it, we have a lot of comments regarding where the boys sleep. Stay tuned!😎
Awesome build. The best one I have seen so far!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great job! I have the same van and it cost me nearly double to have it custom built! Mine has many more features, but still, the fact that you did this yourselves, so beautifully, is impressive. You did all the important things😮. Congrats!
Btw, I had the same concerns with propane and, like you, went with induction. In hindsight I was probably over cautious. The cooktop is a huge power hog, tho I love it.
I totally agree! It takes a lot of energy. We cook outdoors whenever we can. The B2B charger really does a great job to top off the batteries when driving
Looks like you upgraded to more aggressive tires? Totally worth it. I have the same van and never get stuck. The original factory tires were more for commercial use.
THANK YOU, great van and appreciate you sharing with us. @shelterinplacezz 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻,. Love the above door ‘flight centre’ reminds me of an aircraft flight deck hub.
In case you are interested, there are some great WRAP Campervan Awnings (OLPRO) (CAYMAN COMBO AIR) that connect to the back and the side of a campervan RV, super for extra sleeping places and a great lounge area as well, and they are drive away, so you can use your vehicle & Awning stays and your campsite saved 👍🏻👏🏻
Thank You again for sharing 👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
Thank you! Very much appreciated!!! This was a crazy project born during Covid. As first time van builders we had no idea how much work it would be! It was definitely worth it in the end, we are making some great memories and enjoying every minute of it! Let me know if you have any links to the awnings, I have been checking those out, but can’t seem to find any that would fit our build.
Happy Trails 🎉
Where do the kids sleep?

Another small camper van home on wheels and i like
the look of it on the inside with the sink, table and
bathroom another awesome tiny house on wheels
thanks you.🇺🇸🏘️👋👋🏘️🇺🇸
Thanks for checking out our van! Glad you enjoyed watching it!
Talk about a good looking couple nice van too 😉
Thank you!😊
u say family, so were do the kids sleep, where do they put their clothes. your van is nice for 2 people. and like u say going to sports games. Nice work
Nice build!
In terms of basic layout, this is actually pretty similar to the (albeit much more expensive) Panoramic RV van. That Panoramic is, as far as I can tell, the only manufacturer to adopt this floorplan surprises me because it really is an excellent basic floorplan for a Promaster, which is the only one wide enough to really to an elevated east/west bed without bumpouts. You guys did a great job, especially considering your budget.
Update: I have since noted that the Noovo van also uses this basic layout. So that's two.
Nice!👌👌👌
I am thinking that everyone gets on the bed for relaxing, as you mentioned however, should you choose, down the road to do van living, you have to figure where the kids will stay, at night. Can you, in the future, cover an issue like this because, so many if us our thinking the same way.
Nice tour.
Not everyone wants to reproduce
@@claudiakarl7888while your statement is very true, THEY HAVE TWO KIDS!!!
Alot of people are asking where does the kids sleep...its obvious they sleep on the roof by the solar panels 😅
🤣 or in the gap underneath the bed 🥴
@@lanawallace2964I just said that on another comment! It is very nice wood floor and very clean!!!
😂😂😂
Hey TINY home tours 😁👋
Hey hey!
Have a feeling overnight trips not for kids yet...just day trips. Have seen where extra seats fold down and cushion lays on floor for kids to sleep. It was a different family video.
I was thinking the kids sleep in a tent. 🎉
Nice job! ❤
Thank you!😀
Did you forget to tell us where the kids sleep?
Which kids?
@@claudiakarl7888they said that they have 2 kids who travel with them
@@claudiakarl7888 this couple in this video says they have 2 kids....those kids. never explained where they sleep. just that they get in the bed to watch TV
@@claudiakarl7888I take it you did NOT watch the video 🥴🤣
@@lanawallace2964He or she or them definitely did not watch! Another comment from them said “not everybody wants to reproduce”….well, that’s a problem then since this couple already said they had two young kids 🤣🤣🤣
Some people seriously just like to troll for no reason whatsoever
Why is no one replying to the most asked question! Where do the kids sleep ?
Thanks for your patience, I'm just now catching up on some questions & comments.😊When in campgrounds Greg & Maria set up a tent outside. However, they can all sleep inside the van and will be creating a whole video on that setup so stay tuned to their YT channel for more info.
12:50 Will somebody check out the pages they just shared and report back about where their kids sleep. 🤣🤣🤣
Where do kids sleep😢❤
Mom clearly says, the bed is big enough for the two them and if the kids want to jump in, there’s plenty room for them.
She said sometimes they do that. Inquiring minds want to know where they sleep the rest of the time, based on the comments!!! I’m interested to know too!
Not so “family friendly” if half the family doesn’t get to sleep in a bed! I specifically watched this to get layout ideas for a van with two kids- why do I have to watch another video to find out where the kids sleep?
Beautiful van but where the heck do the kids sleep when you’re temporarily on the road? Do you all just squash up on that bed. It’s not really a family van if there’s no mention of where the kids sleep. It’s perfect for a couple though 🥰
Thanks for checking out the video! We are going to be putting together a small video to show how all four of us sleep in the van. We are part-timers so we spend most times with the family in campgrounds where we set up a tent for the boys.
Where do the kids sleep? Why bother with extra seats if it’s a couples only van.
They come with extra seats
My wife and I wondered where the two kids sleep
I thought the same.
I was going to ask the same question.
Me too! What about the kids!!
