    I love this van's layout. Its absolutely stunning. The only thing I'd change would be the toilet, it needs a new location. It would be awkward if you had visitors over and someone needed to use it. Especially if it were raining outside or if you had just had food delivered.

    • @moteroargentino7944
      @moteroargentino7944 Před rokem +35

      Yep, for a van that took hosting visitors in it's design, and already has a full shower, it's strange that he decided to put the toilet there.

    • @rchosfan
      @rchosfan Před rokem +19

      @@moteroargentino7944 Agreed. Would love to see that in the shower space. Conversely, that opens up the space for more food pantry, kitchen accessories, clothes, etc. where the toilet “was” (under the sink).
      Ultimately, since the entrance through the cab seems secondary (and I do like that concept!), I would prefer to see the toilet in the shower. Temporarily move it out when it’s shower time.

    • @moteroargentino7944
      @moteroargentino7944 Před rokem +10

      @@rchosfan Indeed, it looks out of place. That kind of "open toilets" are good only for singles or couples, to save space. If you plan on having people over, you definitely need an enclosed bathroom for privacy.
      Regarding the passway, while I prefer a regular sliding door and stealthy designs, I've seen some vans where they installed a hatch/window. So the opening is downsized to the minimum while still keeping the function of getting through, and they get to use almost all of that space. It looks pretty neat.

    • @MP-tw7iq
      @MP-tw7iq Před rokem +16

      It could be an option to set the toilett in the shower but use some space from the garage? So you have more privacy but a little bit less storage room. So with the system which you used now to put it out like now in the living room.

    Absolutely love this van’s layout, especially tucking the toilet (toilets aren’t pretty) and the bed (beds are only used 7-9 hrs a day) out of the way. First van tour where I can picture being happy living in it. And design-wise, it’s beautiful.

  • @lsmith992
    @lsmith992 Před rokem +117

    Putting the toilet where the block of drawers currently is would be better, with access to it from the shower only . Not in the aisle which is a really bad idea. I've seen it in that space with pullout access from the shower.

    • @rhearealica4631
      @rhearealica4631 Před rokem +7

      I would rather have a curve shower and a secret pull out toilet inside.
      Maybe just make an overhead garage too so that there is access to the front just swivel the passenger chair or something.

    • @artofsam
      @artofsam Před rokem +19

      Was about to say the exact same thing, everything else in this layout is 100% perfect and so meticulously planned out that I was a little surprised to see the toilet hadn't been given more consideration. Like you said I have seen another conversion where a couple had the exact same drawer-sliding toilet he had except they installed it inside the shower so not only do you get privacy and keeps odours away but it can just slide back into the the hidden cupboard when you want the space back for showering. If he did exactly that with this van I would be tempted to buy it off him haha.

  • @smooqalstan6795
    @smooqalstan6795 Před rokem +13

    Agree w/moving toilet; just have it on 300lb rail to slide in/out in shower. Move the drawers to where toilet was. Also - that trash can location wouldn’t make it 5mins before you get ticked off and pull it out to use while cooking. 😁. Would worry about stinky salty wet gear smell in garage permeating the main room. Might want to seal that off and have own baby vent for it. But, lovely build. 🤗

    Great layout, I agree, the shower is awesome. I would change the toilet, more so if sharing the van space or in case of guests, I would also probably like a bigger fridge. Otherwise, the design is fantastic. The battery power is far better than the professional builders so to the water capacity. Great job!

    Super outstanding-really just amazing! Love the front, vertical garage and that pass-through of the shower to the cab; making the cab into a mudroom during inclement weather. The walkable solar panels are great, too!
    As much as I like the concept of not making the bed each day & having it go up & down, I still might opt for having to make it daily for the increased ceiling height (feeling of more space inside) but, more importantly, to have access to the skylight 24/7. However, I’d almost need to see it in person first.
    All in all, this is fantastic! What I’ve said is just customization that someone may like.

    I feel like a lot of storage space could be fit underneat the floor "around the chassi", I know that is a little tricky to do and could compromise the 4x4 capability, but I have a feeling you could make one of those couch an entire wardrob. Also maybe theres a way to fit eletric panels and water pumps on the chassis as well without have to modify it. I never see someone doing it yet on van layouts, but for someone with your craftman ability I thing that could be the extra next level.

    This guy is amazing, if I am not mistaken this is his 3rd conversion and it still amazing. I got no problem with the shower and the pass through. Amazing. and the garage location is acceptable, but the hole for the hand to get into the slider little bit odd. But since he got full queen size retractable bed, I think sacrificing the garage is reasonable. keep up the amazing work

    Amazing build and layout! Smart to route all water on one side of the van and separating electrical on other wheel well cabinet. I sometimes see them combined and wonder about safety. Only two minor changes I would make are a hanging rack above the sink to store wet clean dishes after you wash them. An insulated solid lockable pass through door in the cab area. I would feel better if that door could prevent direct access to the living area. Great tour. Thank you!

    • @rchosfan
      @rchosfan Před rokem +2

    Do have a real question tho (also building). What if you don't have money for a Nebula shower door: Is it still possible to build my shower in that corner and have acces to the cab; Without spoiling water on the drivers seat? 😅
    Bc I can't build the shower smaller. I'm in a wheelchair, a seat in the shower takes space & space is limited in a 144" ;p I really don't know if a selfmade sliding door is 'safe'/waterproof enough (and how to make it). But Nebulas.. Nope.

    Best would be for the toilet to be in the shower when not in use- and when in use turned to face the driver seats upon which that door can slide open for your legs to fit behind/between the seats. This would allow you the privacy behind the kitchen facing shower door- especially if that door can be made extra sound insulated.
    Outstanding layout otherwise.

    Ahhh this is so gorgeous, and I love the battery capacity. A 3000 watt 😅inverter isn’t enough, though. I have a 3000 watt inverter, and although my induction stove and blender both pull less than 1500 watts, the initial surge usually trips the inverter so I can only really use them when plugged in. Same with the 1500 watt portable ac I briefly had. Couldn’t run it though it should have been fine. It’s the surges that kill you. Also, that’s such little solar.

    The shower idea is original. My first change is moving the toilet into the cabinet next to the shower and pulling it from the inside. The shower is also considered a very rarely used space, so I might be opening up the front and making the walkthrough to the driver's cabin more open or coming up with some idea to utilize the shower space as a desk or something when it's not in use which is 90% of the times if not 99%. Ideas are flowing...

    I think overall the van build is very nice but I don't understand having the toilet in the kitchen and in public? This is not the first van build or whatever that I have seen that. So if you have guests over and they need to use the bathroom they're going to have to use it in front of everybody? That does not make any sense to me. And why would you put essentially a toilet in the same place where you cook food? I'm just trying to make sense of it.

    What size is the skylight? Also can it be installed so that it opens the opposite direction or open to the side? It would be easier to climb onto the roof and to clean the solar panels if you did. Not have to wiggle around the cover.
