- Take a tour of Julia and Joe's beautiful camper van conversion they've built using recycled materials. They've converted their 2006 Mercedes Sprinter into a comfortable home for the road to go on adventures with their dog Taika.
The van features a large kitchen, living room with dining table, a bed running the width of the van, and an off-grid solar setup with diesel heater and hot water shower. #vanlife

Jordan Osmond Already subbed. Hard to say what my fave part was. I love THEM tho; they’re just so down-to-earth & seem like very kind ppl. I do love the tile & the fact they didn’t rush so they could recycle & upcycle things other ppl toss.
This is one of my fave conversions. Oh, also I really liked where they placed the kitchen. I wish them all the best’✌🏼
I loved the kitchen, and the fact they had one large bed and a slide out table! You can tell he's an excellent carpenter!
I really liked the slide out table , much easier to use that other table units, I think I love that the bed goes all the way to the back, I’m thinking that would be a much better set up, our van leaves 18 across the back for utilities.
Did they have bathroom facilities? Liked the shower option too.
It’s a winner

Beautiful and very serene. I love the use of white/cream and the light wood. The tiles are amazing. Only thing missing for full time living is a toliet
Katie Girl That’d be easy to rectify by putting in the garage a compost or even luggableloo seat w/5 gallon bucket; not best location but they might also be able to repurpose or dual purpose another area inside the van. But in any case, aren’t they an adorable couple?!?☀️
If u built a van like this one u could just switch out that giant dog stuff storage cupboard for a toilet. Or even a wet bathroom to get a shower in that spot as well.
I have a whole house and don't even need that much dog-stuff storage space.
I hired this van & took her down the great ocean road. Can confirm, it made the experience one of a kind. It was absolutely beautiful!
this would be my dream trip! On my list now--- at the very top!
Where do you rent it!
Doesnt have bathroom though
What height are you please ?
What a great job you have done. The inside is fresh and stylish with everything you need. Great to see an Aussie conversion too.😀
I really like the colour scheme. It feels open and light. Nice build! 👍🏼😉
I love the kitchen...
Those tilles are gorgious
What a great way to travel around Australia. The window above bed is a great touch. It looks so cosy. Their dog looked very happy with it all too.
I have never been more jealous of short people lol
Not only short, but apparently they never have to use a toilet either. That’s something to really be jealous about! Outside of a shower, there were no bathroom amenities in the van, amazing self body control.
tami stone lmao😍😜
tami stone Did you miss the beautiful kitchen set up they’ve designed? You don’t do your business where you eat usually do you? This van’s space has been maximised for it’s purposes and that’s something to applaud - maybe they can hold it in a little longer than you can and make use of the many available bathroom amenities on the road, or if not, provide Mother Nature some fresh fertiliser!
Fix your attitude.
Tommy, I don’t know how you were raised, but since at least the 20th century let alone the 21st century people have inside plumbing WITH doors and walls. I know this might come as a great shock to you but a lot of these Sprinter Vans have bathrooms, cooking, and sleeping areas. It won’t behoove you to do a simple CZcams or Google search to confirm this.
More importantly though, is why you would be so easily triggered by a strangers comment? It was a dry humorous comment that apparently went over your head. Everyone else that responded, save yourself seemed to get it. You do know there’s a correlation between intelligence and the ability to comprehend all forms of humour don’t you......?
@@tamistone2632 Ha! Tami you can stop projecting now, your inferiority complex is fully justified. I wish I could agree with you here but then we would both be wrong. Not all van conversions have to tick off your subjective list of amenities to serve a purpose and be functional for different peoples' needs.
I really love this! The white with the wood on the ceiling looks so great and it doesn’t add as much weight as when people cover the sides in wood and all. Looks amazing! I’ve watched so many van life videos now and this decor is one of my favorites.
Beautiful. Love the slide out table. Great colours. Good size van. Woot your in Australia.
This is the BEST one I've seen! Lovely, bright and cheerful--not cluttered but has an airy, open feeling. Great job!!!
This is a great set up and BEAUTIFUL TAIKA completes your getaway home! 🐾❤️🐾
Great van build. I liked the way the kitchen counter was against the front seats but narrow, gave such an open feel and I think the back splash tiles were so pretty. Very finished feel to the garage
Glad you enjoyed their build, Linda!
Very homey
I love natural wood but so many 20 somethings make their van’s coffin-like
Nice mix of white & natural wood
Definitely has a consistent theme
The tile is a nice touch
I also like the large pull out dining table
This is the first van conversion I’ve seen that I could actually envision living in. It’s beautiful! Thanks for sharing
Brilliant. This is exactly how I'd love to do it, except I'd go for long wheelbase and live in it full-time! You've gone for the same colours/textures as my - 'compact' - kitchen at home. White cupboards open up the feeling of space and your wooden surfaces bring a feeling of warmth as well as bringing the 'outside inside'. Its simple, sleek, uncluttered, modern yet warm. Just perfect! Except you don't live in it Sandy - YET!
Not having a bathroom would be a drawback.
I agree, and who wants to take a shower without a shower curtain?
Ah mate, wouldn't be too bad if you're used to camping.
Love it but the lack of bathroom/toilet would be a deal breaker to me.
@@heyalicia2551 I think that's what gets most people, Van Life isn't for everyone.
@@heyalicia2551 She didn't pull out the drawer cut to fit the wheel well. I think the toilet is in it.
The shower tub was under the first cabinet she opened. The van is gorgeous!
Love it. I am building my van at the moment. One it’s nice to see other Aussies out there getting into camping and going out and exploring in their van.
That back couch goes in my own idea list that’s awesome
The van is lovely, it just needs a toilet.
This is a gorgeous van! They can purchase a foldable commode chair. I agree toilets are a must for emergency purposes.
Ginger-- I know what you mean. It's a lovely conversion, but where could they put a toilet? I'm at a stage in my life that I don't want to wander out early or late to use a public washroom. And what if there is none nearby when one is truly off the grid? :( Also, is there an external electrical hook up if an outlet is available?
You can Shat in a bag placed over a bucket. You’d still be civilized.
Mels Voyage or since I don’t think they will want to do that cause yk some ppl picky u can just buy those foldable toilets it has a seat with a whole the u just put the plastic bag in the whole its technically the same thing as the bucket thing but yee
And a shower. Also at 6ft 3ins that bed would be useless for me.
It was the most professional looking rebuild. The colors and finishing were beautiful. Also, it had all the comforts of home like hot and cold water and heat!! I'm only 4'7" so the bed would be fine for me and I loved the extra room it gave them..
I can’t tell you how impressed I am with your build! I’m super thrilled because it carries my name and it’s a beautiful build and because I am building one also and I got some great ideas from it so thank you! Well done!
dont give it up , please find the way to put a toilet there, i can tell you, u are not going to regret at all.
the video was shot and edited really nicely
Love it!
So many well considered designs!
The only thing I would switch would be to add an oven.
Great job
Inspiring!
Happy Trails
Thank you for sharing
They have Omni ovens you put on top of your job. Cast iron pans also help with oven feature.
I would not get an oven , waste of space and almost never used. Some people like the microwave. But can do without that too. An instapot would be a nice luxury if you plan to stay with power, and vitamix.
Patsy Pureheart a water purifier might be nice if you travel outside the US
@@lisamillerbuchert9447 Think you mean travel outside of Australasia, Canada and Europe, not the Americas in general. Water in all these locations is extremely safe to drink.
this conversion is gorgeous i love those tiles so much!
They are beautiful tiles. Glad you liked the conversion!
How charming and practical! You’ve thought of everything! 🤩🤩🤩
Wow what a beautiful van remodel.
Best thing I learned was the excellent use of beautiful wood to escape the 'metal' feel of a vehicle - total success in that regard. Beautiful job.
Fantastic conversion. Thanks Jordan, it's given me some ideas for my van conversion (one day)...
A really clean cut lovely design. And its true, you never complete your van. I am forever coming up with new ideas as I go along. A lovely van, guys. Enjoy.
This is stunning. The best van conversion I've seen.
This is a wow💕. I love the interior design of this. Amazing.💕
Absolutely wonderful conversion. Well done and be proud of your achievements.
Wow, this is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ❤️, LOVE the wood accents, the BEST VAN CONVERSION! Only thing, you've got me wondering about bathroom facilities, never stated? Gorgeous, ...fridge could be a little bigger! Love LOVE ❤️ all that Solar! SO Cute, Cozy, and Comfortable! 😊
Very clean and looks spacious as soon you step thru the door... the design is beautiful to the eyes (including beautiful Joe., ❤️). Good luck with your journey!
This conversion has been done with class and FINESSE. The tiles, wood work, and spice rack all add personality and flare but the functionality of every inch of space shows how much thought has been put into the design.
I’m inspired by how well this young couple have maximised the space of this conversion.
P.S. to the commenters obsessing over where to do your business - I’ve lived in a van without a toilet conversion for the last 5 years and always comfortably made do with my surroundings and nature. Truth be told, a nature squat is one of life’s finer pleasures. 🤠
More power to you J&J!
I love the floor space you have and the fact the kitchen is narrow and in the front. I think it’s so great so you can stretch out on the floor and not be smooshed by cabinets running on either side.
The wood working is good & the desk top 5:23 fabulous!
Wow! What a beautiful, well thought out design. Your hard work paid off!
Wow! What a comfy campervan. I wish to have one like this. This is really cool. Thanks for showing this :)
Very nice build. Enjoy the moments in life’s journey.
Well done! I love the tile... I've been perusing tile shops like mad. I really love how the dining table pulls out of the bed. Definitely going to do that. Thanks for sharing ~ peace & love to you ( :
Very nice, throughly thought out van with every thing you need to make it home away from home! I’m adding this to my save list for ideas for my build! So thank full to see a van with a heater! But I’d need a/c to in Florida!
This is a really beautiful build! I thought you included several clever and unique ideas. I love the pull-out drawer in the back. The best addition to a van garage. And the kitchen table is great, too. I like the idea of a work in progress like yours, without stressing. Thank you for sharing!
What a nice van, nice couple and cute dog. Did I miss the bathroom? I don't think so. Beautiful films too.
Well done! A great layout, sensible use of space: slide out table tucked away in the bed frame opens it up nicely. Awesome tiles!
Thanks for the inspiration, currently doing a convert.
I love the Design, it's beautiful. Perfect!
WHERE'S THE TOILET? OTHER THAT IT WAS A AWESOME RIG!!!
Chambula Testimony Tuesday/ Praise reports I agree but many people poop in a bag and bury it. I never tried that no matter which way you choose you still have to get rid of it.
@@lisamillerbuchert9447 I'm all for burying poop but not in plastic bags. Terrible if they don't decompose.
@@GenaF They've had those biodegradable doggie poop bags out for years now. You can get them near anywhere as well. In a pinch, you can pinch off a loaf in one of those. You can use a bucket w/ kitty litter. Some get creative and line the top of the bucket w/ foam to pad it, or you can put a toilet seat on them even.
@@GenaF never thought of that
There’s a large drawer or cabinet under the dog cabinet. I’m betting they have a pull out composting toilet in there. It’s large enough.
The bed with the bottom drawers and two benches and the sliding table there are what I thought for mine as well. Cool.
Beautiful interior! So cozy and cheerful! The wood work is very impressive! Thank you for sharing! Safe journeys!
Just beautiful. This is something I have always wanted to do. I just wish I knew someone handy!
Well done guys.
Wow. Talk about a resourceful couple! What an excellent conversion!
Beautiful little campervan design.
One of the fewest van conversation I very much like as design and color!!!!
Your van is gorgeous! Thank you for the tour!
WOW!! Very,Very NICE I'M SOOOOO IMPRESSED!
What a fantastic looking camper. Beautiful job. Lovely and light inside.
beautiful built! Thank you for sharing.
The most gorgeous and sensible van design ive ever seen
I love this ! The bed & storage is my fave.
Nice van! Looks very clean & cosy :)
Well done you two! I see many great days in that caravan! Good on ya!
I love what's you've done truly beutiful, you've thought of everything and in such a small space great job
I love your videos! Keep up the good work 🙂
Beautiful van. Thanks for sharing.
Going to make one of these. I have been watching videos for the past 8 months and I am hooked.
One of the nicest outdoor shower builds I've seen!
Wow, best conversation I've seen. Brilliant!!
I love what you have done. Great job and great colour scheme. So bright.
Well done. Light and airy!
its sooo beautiful and full of life , guys you only need a bathroom, common it can still be added, you can still do it, it can totaly get u out of grid, and on the long drive, when we dn have anything in long distances and we need to pee, it just lacks that part, otherwise it is so good in everything else you guys did👍🤟
Love the open feel, counter space! & slide out tables both directions. Love how the back one can be a seat! You could grab your cushions from the inside while watching the ocean or the sunset :-)
What a nice and creative build! Good job!! Thanks for sharing & Blessings ~Sidney
Very cool guys 😎 thanks for sharing greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Love the creativity in this design. Also functional
I love the natural colours. Nice, clean lines, but homely. Loved the tiles. Thought they were missing a trick not putting a cupboard or shelves where that drop-leaf worktop is. And of course, no loo.
Pretty van interior. All of the work paid off.
Another great video Jordan ! Greetings from your new amigo in Marbella Spain.
Love it. Great innovation and use of what's available. Good job!
❤Hallo Ihr 2!❤
Das habt ihr wirklich sehr schön gemacht. Tolle, super Einteilung. Am besten finde ich das Bett.
