    Second time I've shown Brandon but his seventh van build and it didn't let me down. It might look simple and clean but there's nothing simple about this build as it took years to develop and make perfect. This is stealth van living to its finest.

    I am in no way criticizing this van - it is brilliant. However, I couldn't live with the cooking area wedged in a corner and not next to the sink. I didn't like the oven underneath the seating either. I also wonder if you can get skylights that don't open up, but slide along the van - to increase stealthiness. A high open lid to a skylight signals to the ground that someone is inside. I would also like to see sliding overhead cupboard doors to reduce all the mechanisms and intrusion into the living space. Actually, there is a lot I would change now I think about it. But I am still in awe of this build.

      Wow. This sets a high standard for energy and water.
      I’m confident they do NOT cook much - the separation of water and heat is awkward. But it seems like a reasonable choice if it’s stealth so it will be primarily urban use.
      Is the counter surface heat safe?

      Yeah, I’m with everyone else about the cooktop. You would have thought it better to put it beat the sink and put the tv up the other end.
      I’ve never quite understood why people put the cooking or sink right next to their beds. All I can think about when I see them is grease from cooking getting on the bed or water splashing from washing dishes on the bed. It makes more sense to me to have the bench top at the bed end.
      I do have to say that I think that about this can too. Put the cooker next to the sink.

    I've seen hundreds of van builds and this is by far my favorite. Easily hook up a computer to that TV to work on the road. The biggest problem I have with van life is sweating my balls off and this thing would run AC with 0 problems especially in the summer. Some people might not like the windows but living full-time the front cab and the windows are always going to be the biggest heat/cold sources so no problem for me and I just love how stealthy it is. If I ever bite the bullet this is who I'm buying it from.

    It's been a year ago now. This is one of a kind innovation on the next level. Everything is hidden: the sink, tv/office table, stove, bed, bathroom, cameras, etc, in a stealth van. I see comments here why the stove is set up right in the corner area near the couch. Maybe i can say, this is precisely a personal custom-built van by the owner who used to stay in the urban stealh life, not as a countryside camper van in a wildlife park. Thus, such stove is seldom used for he's in the city life, a lot of restaurants, foodchains out there everywhere for eating purposes. Said stove is only for emergency use only. That's why perhaps, a tv/office table is precisely most important than the stove area. The sink is in the right place, never reaches the water sprinkles on corner couch and on nearby open bed. Congrats, it's a superb stealt van in the city life.

    It makes so much sense when living in a van and you can shower on 2 litres of water for as long as you want. You don’t need lots of water to carry, weight issues and then quickly dispose of it when used. It’s a no brainer.

I like how everything is hidden, got the screen doors, the hot water heater, recirc water for shower, murphy bed, flat solar panels. I would make a couple changes but overall this is a spectacular build. Probably cost an arm and a leg to purchase too.

    Interesting, I've been envisioning van builds in my mind for quite some time, and had considered a dehumidifier, but couldn't resolve the power and space issue. I hadn't considered expanding the idea into harvesting consumable water. The best thought I had on that end was trying to figure out how to direct, filter and store rain water, but even then I wasn't considering that for consumption, maybe for showering.
    Looking forward to seeing further systems developments!

    Outstanding attention to detail. And in a small space detail really matters. I love the utilitarian approach and the really clever design and engineering, not to mention the beautiful crisp craftsmanship. As much as we’d all like windows he really makes a case for not having them, and cleverly compensates for at least the functional need for them with natural light from the large skylight and surround night vision security cameras system. The bed system is fantastic and appears effortless and the shower and toilet and water set up is just next level clever. There is just so much to admire about this build and I appreciated everything. I love the fact he fine tunes each detail every time he replicates and I agree with his reasoning. It’s great to see someone take on the slog of R&D on their own dollar and steam. I hope this one day can become a multi unit selling van conversion for Brandon that many of us worldwide with no build abilities can purchase and experience. It certainly deserves to be and if I had the dough I wouldn’t say no.
