      Thanks Barbara! It’s definitely worked well for us too. The shower is plenty spacious and works as a mud room too being right in front of the door. And we don’t have to sweep as often. 👍🏼 haha That was unplanned, but is a next extra feature! Good lucky with your possible future build!

    Remarkable build on a small wheelbase for two people! This is a sensible and smart build, which is also very aesthetically pleasing. Love the toilet and laundry hamper and shower positioning.

    Been watching a lot of van conversions and yours is my favorite so far. Small footprint yet all your needs are met with the layout. I personally would find some way to create a wall around the toilet area cause even though it's a mind over matter thing, I don't think I'd ever feel comfortable using it and feeling like I'm in my kitchen/living room while pooping.
    Also interested in seeing more about the bike mount system.

    • @somedayvans6653
      @somedayvans6653  4 года назад +1

      Thanks! I tried to come up with a way to bring the shower curtain around the toilet or get a different shower curtain but nothing really clicked well.. Yeah we have gotten a few questions about the bike mount, we will probably do a review on it sometime.

      That's easily solved. Just change the direction of the toilet and put it on sliders so it slides out onto the shower tray in front of the door.

    I love the pull out stove and refrigerator. You’re layout is one of the best I’ve seen. I’m surprised that your plate/ pots cubbie isn’t a pull out drawer.

    • @somedayvans6653
      @somedayvans6653  4 года назад +1

      Thanks! Yeah we thought about doing that but there is a lot of space on the left side of that cabinet that we would lose if we did a drawer. (Like 1/3 of the space)

  • @gretelh3144
    @gretelh3144 Год назад +1

    I haven’t seen a stove/oven like that before. It’s a great idea especially keeping it out of the way on the cupboard without using up counter space. You were also very clever with the cutout to access the food storage underneath.
    Very nice build with some smart ideas.

    I just discovered you guys today and jumped straight into your vlog, as I was watching I assumed you were experienced vloggers but realised you have a brand new channel. I am obsessed with van conversions and this is by far the most impressive I have seen. I'd love to see how you did the conversion if you have any footage. Good luck and keep up the good work!

      Thanks Brandon, it was great to see the process and now the clever storage and sleek cabinets makes sense....you're a carpenter😀. I see you changed up the shower floor, the current system in the van tour seems to work well?
      Looking forward to following your adventures and seeing the van function.

    • @somedayvans6653
      @somedayvans6653  4 года назад +3

      Haha yes, the cabinets were the easy part. And the new shower design in our video works great! I did change from my first shower design you saw with the folding doors. The shower floor didn’t dry out enough and was a little gimmicky as far as walking on top of the doors when closed and keeping them open easily. It needed to be simpler, so the cedar slats work well.

    Finally someone made a shower at the right place. If you are going to use the bathroom only during boondocking then the water can be let out without a grey tank like an outdoor shower. Even the kitchen sink outlet does not need a grey tank during boondocking. Most importantly, the bathroom at the doorway saves prime space. Thanks for the upload.

    • @somedayvans6653

    • @somedayvans6653
      @somedayvans6653  4 года назад +1

      I went back and forth on whether or not I (Katie) wanted a mirror in the living space. I decided not to and am glad I didn’t. I look in the mirror a lot less and it’s kind a nice. Haha But I can totally see the need for one! And yeah, the overhead storage would be nice.

    Great, functional van build! A tip for those catch all baskets above the bed...cut a piece of heavy card stock to fit the basket bottom and wrap it in contact paper. It will keep the cords from falling out. :) Also, we bought a SuperSonic 12v flat screen tv and it works great. That would reduce power consumption.

    • @somedayvans6653
      @somedayvans6653  4 года назад +1

      Thanks! That was honestly the big goal with this van. I hadn't really seen any short vans like this include all of the "luxury" items that they say you have to have a long wheelbase to include (shower, toilet, furnace, oven, dinette seating) So I spent quite a while creating and reworking the 3D model to fit everything before even starting on the build.

    Really nice van and tour.
    It really is not necessary to give an inventory of everything one owns or has stored in the van... after all, it is YOUR SPACE. Why tell anyone what you have stashed in it and where the stash is?
    Each owner uses the drawers for different items.
    Very clean design and efficient.
    Having the shower at the entrance is superb for a number of reasons but, especially because dirt, etc, falls between the cedar slats and doesn't get tracked all over the van interior.
    May you have many happy years of VanLife.
    Enjoy every minute of it!!

    Very good idea to put the stove on a slider,if your shower is in a a stainless steel pan, if it can support you just stand in the pan that way you would not need the plastic pieces keep the water in. and keep the wood piece to keep the floor flowing seamlessly. The toilet is a good idea in its location.. if you had the money I’ve seen a van with a slide out from the rear and you would have more room for your bed. It is a major undertaking and a lot of money to do so but that is the price to pay for more room. This is the best design I’ve seen an a long time . Good job!!!!!

    55 gallon water tank. I think that's a record. Well done build and very thoughtful. Only suggestion I'd make is you may want to get a food-grade water hose.

    Most of these van conversions are so impressive. But it must have cost a small fortune to do them. In this conversion I especially liked the shower solution, the hidden gas stove, the recliner, and the waterproof vinyl plank flooring. And off course the utility set up for the electricity, the plumbing and the heating.

    • @somedayvans6653
      @somedayvans6653  4 года назад

  • @GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath
    @GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath 3 года назад

    I plan on putting my shower in the middle too but probably in a completely different way. The nice thing about it is the shower does not get narrower up where your body is widest, your shoulders. That’s why these freestanding showers that use shower curtains to enclose them are better than the ones that are permanent installs with walls along the wall. I don’t know how tall your van is because I know transits I have some models which are taller than the tallest Sprinter but with the tall top Sprinter I still do not wanna lose any headroom by having thick insulation under the floor which this shower design requires, and I’m not that tall. My last house was a Victorian a 13 foot ceilings downstairs and 12 foot ceilings upstairs in the bedrooms so I was spoiled. I’m actually doing my van in a Victorian theme.

    • @somedayvans6653
      @somedayvans6653  4 года назад +1

    Really nice build, it's obvious you all put a lot of time & effort into this, plenty of ideas to copy.... FYI @20:00 there's a bunch of exposed high-amp copper that you should really cover up - shrink wrap or electrical tape - esp if you are sliding stuff in/out of that compartment. Last thing you want is to short those out....

    • @somedayvans6653
      @somedayvans6653  4 года назад +1

    Your Van Build is the first Van Build other than mine that I have seen with the slide in stove. I love how you did that because you save so much space on the counter. I have always wondered why Van Builders or dwellers put their stove in a drawer and then place it on the counter, when it’s just so simple to put it in a slide out. The rest of your van is very well thought out and very ingenious build, one of the very best I’ve seen as of this date. Good luck on your travels maybe someday will cross paths and I would love to see a tour in person.

    Really cool conversion. I would change a few things but we all have our own ways of what works for us so no one is better or worse. Just personal preference. Thank you for posting all the links. Really helpful.
    Shower idea is great but I personally would never do it. You can blade a hard shower dry, but you can’t blade those shower curtains down. The mould and wetness this would create in a van just wouldn’t be worth risking for me. 😱 I have worked on Superyachts for the past 10 years and I have had both in the same tiny spaces so I have history of the pros and cons with both. Hands down I would always go hard shell shower. Again just preference. But genius design guys. Well done. 👏 🏆

    • @somedayvans6653
      @somedayvans6653  4 года назад +1

      Thanks Amanda! Yeah we like the more open van concept so a standalone shower unit wasn’t really and option in a van as small as ours.

      We really like it when it works.. The first one they sent us didn't cool down at all but they promptly sent us another that worked fine. We have been using it for a few months now and just the past few days it keeps drawing an error and I have to pull the power to get it to reset so we will see how it holds up.. Other than that, its basically the cheapest DC fridge BY FAR that I can find and draws way less power than our other fridge did.
