Here's a full van tour here czcams.com/video/6k-x79vXaNo/video.html
Neither of the videos show how the hammock arms work. Why is that?
Agree with lots of comments which say that this is the best van conversion ever seen. For me the special surprise was the kitchen and bathroom setting. And what about the double beds.. Just Amazing!
The swivel bench seat really brought that kitchen together too.
A Sunil SAME HERE!! Those swivelmseats amplify the space and feel of their home on wheels! Lovenit a whole lot!! 🍁
Cheers Mr A Sunil 😎
BEAUTIFUL TIMBER fittings and combination of white Side walls and perfect permanent bedding..
Wow thts looks perfect..Top metal frame it's something new design I noticed in Camper..
The best van conversion
but where do you store your clothes?
I am a single mom and it’s beyond hard almost impossible to find a layout for a parent and child AND a bathroom. This is amazing!! She made the space perfectly. They use the front seats like a lounge/office when they aren’t driving and then a kitchen, separate rest room (I’m not a fan of the shower/toilet u pull out and use in the middle of your kitchen) and the child has their own private bed/nook area. I love this
Check out Ourkaravan build on a Sprinter, and Greg Virgoe. Both have very unique builds, more open plan, and document their builds well. Truly exceptional builds.
I am single !!
Still single?😊
@@michaelbmw1931 Yes. Less laundry to do.
Lass-in Angeles haha. That was good. How Old are you?
This is the most brilliant van build I've ever seen
Hi, my names Skip, and I'm Addicted to Vanlife-Tours.
(the first step is admitting you are an addict)
🤣😆😂
Hi Skip. Welcome to the club. I am an addict, too.
SkipSpotter
Welcome Skip
Hi, Skip
Hello Skip...
Sorry but I'm going to clone this layout, it's perfect.
Except for clothes storage. They didn't show any.
@@dattran6372 I was thinking maybe it was in the seats, under the bottom bed or maybe they store it in the back or on top of van when not making a video. They have a instagram, maybe they inform it there.
Yes, it is great.
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback
you're not alone)))
This is a stunning conversion, the best I’ve ever seen. Well done.
I agree
What everyone else has already said. Bravo!
Beautiful!
Totally agree, A superb conversion!
Agreed, only thing I miss is storage for clothes and the like.
I wanna see the cabin chairs swivel. They look so tight, I can’t imagine them doing a 360° turn
If, Van conversions have Oscar awards for them this, particular van would've bagged Oscars in all categories.
I've seen thousands of conversions and this Van is absolutely God sent.
Perfect is not enough!!!!!.
I've watched hundreds of van conversions, literally hundreds and have commented 'best conversion I've ever watched' in many of those videos but this time I really mean it, this van seems extremely satisfying with everything a perfect HOME has. Well done
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed!
Yeah I agree, one of the best conversions I’ve seen. I’m so jealous ☹️
Many says that its the perfect layout while I'm here thinking 'holy shit where the clothes goes?'
That was exactly my thought. Not to mention once the kid gets a little older that little bed space is going to be closterphobic.
@@brikhouse22 exactly, the layout is nice, sure, but with the amount of storage space, she must be extreme minimalist.
Eu me perguntei o mesmo... Pessoas sem roupas?!
I know, it’s not actually a practical layout. The kitchen is super tiny, while the bathroom is way too big than it needs to be (why does she need two sinks?). There is no space for clothes and because she wanted a dining area so she ended up wasting that whole bit with something like that. Furthermore, having that fire space there is pointless. She could have been better off turning it into a wardrobe rather than a cosy space (diesel and propane heaters are better anyway). This is a good layout if you want to travel somewhere for three days or so but not for long-term use. It is quite clear that she is not living in it. If you want to spend so much money on something then be practical.
Team Spike wish it showed how many thumbs down lol
I agree with this being one of the best van builds out there. I like how they separated/dedicated the "rooms" to make it feel more like a home instead of the one open space with multiple functions most van builds have. Plus random little clever touches throughout 👌❤
I’m in love with this build. A work of art. This is my dream van😍
Beutee4ul One we should meet and build one 🙈
This is the best conversion I have seen! I am obsessed with your layout. ❤️❤️❤️
I had the pleasure of seeing this van in person and it just blew me away. Such incredible work and it really feels like a home rather than a van. So amazing!
I know and now I am totally confused. I don't know whether it has been sold on or whether the original people were the builders who were pretending to live in it. Am really confused as this lady is different from the first one.
Here is the van in the link below. It might be where you saw it? You might even be in the video?
czcams.com/video/a7MeLHtCXdk/video.html
@@jmk1962 I'm confused too. I saw this van from vanlife builders and they presented this van as their own van. Now this van is owned by another person?
Does it smell like car inside the van, like gas petrol leather type smell?
With the exception of the too tiny dining table, and for me a bit claustrophobic lower bunk this is the best I've ever seen. Great job.
I have literally been searching for a van for ages, me and my friend want to convert a van to travel round Europe in and the things we need to fit in are a lot.
-comfy seating/eating area
-two beds
-a kitchen
- a decent sized wet room
And a clean and sleek design, this is literally the perfect van. Well done!!
I think you're just going to have to share a bed.
@@subspaceanomaly they were roommates!!!
Best conversion I've seen and I've now watched over two hundred. The sink in the corner is genius because that space is always inaccessible for storage but you didn't say how you access the plumbing. I presume it is from the outside, if not it would be very awkward. Love the swivel seats and proper dining area, only change I would make would be a wider table. Laptop storage also genius. Also love the hideaway your daughter uses, I don't have a daughter but I have two dogs, it would be equally perfect for them. Beautifully crafted throughout. Thanks for sharing.
Unbelievable! So cozy and pretty. The windows are gorgeous. BRILLIANT.
Absolutely perfect... Indoor and outdoor shower, organized back garage, the bed is huge, and that it sits 5 people in the front is awesome. That wood burning stove OMG... Awesome!!
I can live in this van! One of my fave van conversion 😍♥️
Vantastic! Especially like front seating area with swivel seats.
How can anyone possibly not like this van? It's stunning, absolutely perfect.
I can't agree Scott, the van is magnificent. It's a work of art.
I think I just found my dream house 😍
It's very well done but there are also lots of things that don't make sense or work depending on your own needs etc.. I would need more natural light and bigger work surfaces for example. But it's interesting to see and has some great features, I like the kitchen
I’m always a fan of the walkway out the back meaning not having the bed in the back. However this is still cute.
I really appreciate the bathroom setup. You don’t have to move the toilet in and out to shower and there seems to be an adequate amount of showering space.
Thumbs up.
Thanks for watching!
@@VanClan Is the van the extended sprinter version?
I like the layout since it defines different zones. You have like separate rooms where you can stay away from each other to prevent cabin fewer.
This is the best conversion i’ve seen! although, if i were to own this van, i’d keep my whole wardrobe under the bed hanging where the water heaters are!
I agree with all the other comments and this van conversion is best I have seen! Who would ever think that you could get so jealous over van lifers. Great job!
I've watched over 30 van conversion tours and this one is my favorite! Such an awesome design truly.
One of the most beautiful vans I 'd seen. 🇫🇷
I remember seeing the original tour of this van. It is the best layout I've ever seen!😍🥰
Creole Beauty where is the original tour?!?
@@blueheather6921 they have two original builds. Search CZcams channel VAN LIFE BUILDS
I have watched probably 100 videos like this and used to have a class B myself. This is the best layout that I have seen. Humble Road and Advanced RV could learn from these designers--just extraordinary. Thank you for posting. The bathroom is perfectly situated and designed and the kitchen angles are beautiful. Congratulations and all the best in your travels.
Northstar7 thank you very much for your kind words
Perfect layout! The most functional one with everything needed plus an extra bed area.
I am curious how easy it is to turn them front seats to face forward.
I was thinking that too!
There are locking points on each chair and once you unlock them the chairs just swivel round on the fixed frame.
They used to nave a video showing this but it has gone.
Mercedes makes a double and a single turning cab seat. You can make any seat turn around by adding a swivel base which you can buy. Its not hard.
@@jmk1962 I would have liked to see the swivel of the seats. Fantastic layout.
Lass-in Angeles where to buy?
This is truly one of the best van builds that I've seen. A lot of thought and planning went into this build with the highest of standards.
JMC Aloha TV many thanks 😊
I have seen so many van layouts but this one so far is the best, most elegant and most complete! I can definitely live here!
Perfection. Streamlined .Doesn't seem cramped. Shower/compost toliet is amazing.
This is the absolutely best mini van conversion I have seen! Loved the little lift up in the kitchen when chopping. Absolutely fantastic use of space made very homey.
This is the best conversion I’ve seen. You’ve got some really creative ideas going there.
This has blown me away! Very very good work, thank you for sharing!
I am watching living vans on YT for a two days and this one is the best so far. It has everything you could need.It is just perfect! Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
A+ For great use of space. Well done!
I've watched a lot of van conversion videos and as a general rule they're all practically the same. But this is by far the best I've seen and very unique. Brilliant use of the space available. Makes me wonder why it seems no one else has followed this or a similar blueprint tho?!
I hold onto this video and watch it frequently. This is the layout I really love. Who would have thought an "L" shaped kitchen and an angled bathroom that ends up making separated space for the bedroom. Truly ingenious layout.
Okay this conversion read my mind in so many ways. A full wetroom bathroom with a mirror door, a kitchen with a sidewall to keep it as a separate space, a walled-off bed to keep it as a separate space, additional outdoor shower, BEAUTIFUL wood and nice white look with plants, amazing amazing use of the space I adore it.
I am so obsessed with this caravan stuff that I keep getting a van’s ad on videos which are not even related to this stuff.
It means you're serious about it :)
Yup , I am so happy that you replied :)
Best design ive seen for me so far luv the bed set up for the little one🇿🇦
Finally! A van conversion fit for a family! Im definitely gonna copy this! 😁
Don't know how long I've watched similar videos. This design is by farrr the best I've encountered!! Super practical, love the use of space.
sweet conversion and definitely an original for sure. looks like home
This is the best tiny house van I' ever seen perfect design and organise
By a country mile this is the best conversion I've seen 👌
many like to have a full walk through from front to back. but in a tiny space, separating the space into specific use actually creates rooms and make the space feel bigger than it actually is. this build is brilliant.
Love this!!! Best I 've seen!!! There are a few questions. Storage and clearance. Load up everything you would take with you on road and then shoot this video
This is THE best conversion ive seen yet! Wonderful job!
One of the best floor plan I've ever seen.Really nice great job.
I have watched a LOT of videos as I will soon begin my van life journey. This van is by far the best I have ever seen!! Awesome job and thank you for even more inspiration to get on the road..
This van is one of the best I've seen!! Love the bathroom😍🙌❤
I love that design. The bathroom is in a perfect area and very roomy. I really think its the best design
Perfect. I like the fact that there is a separation between the area sleeping and the kitchen, and there is a real bathroom.
Comfortable and beautiful.
For me also is the best van convertion i ever saw. Nice, practicle well think and cosy. Congratulations.
after this I don't know if I can watch another conversion. this is it.
Zeynep Yıldırım hahaha thanks so much
One of the nicest layouts I’ve come across! Dope!!!
The best Van I have ever seen in 2020 😍
This truck is so well designed with bit of interesting features. Impressed with how you could fit so many functional things in such a small van. Very organic. Love to be able to travel in this.
Sure I've seen this before but some really nice little design ideas that I may well copy/steal when I do mine. I notice that the bed is across the van and into the side cavities but without the external flares. Would give so much room but as I'm 6ft not sure if we could do that on ours.
TinRobot thanks a lot 👍🏼 6ft is probs max - unless you like sleeping in a ball ha ha
IN LOVE WITH THIS VAN! Brilliantly designed. Respect.
I seen the original tour of this van. I am so obsessed with this van. This is my dream. I am saving every penny so that one day you can create this for me.
This is the best van I have ever bet seen it has everything a dining room kitchen a bed room and that bathroom is soooo big
This van is so freakin BEAUTIFUL!!
That swivel table on the side door is stunning - we might have to do something like that...
A great idea hey? Perfect for those outdoor days!
" Live-wood edging"...looks SO nice
Too narrow.
Hey guys! Lots of you asking about storage! There are 2 huge pods under the extra passenger seats for clothing / bedding then another storage area under the step up, heaps of space in the garage too, and room for a roof box on the roof :) you could swap the wood burner for a full height storage if this wasn’t enough for you needs - it was plenty for us!
Check out our van tour: czcams.com/users/vanlifebuilds
How have your hammock mounts stood up? Any bending/creasing? What sizes were the box tubes?
This is the best I’ve ever seen! I love how it even has a bathroom!! Not many vans have a shower and toilet.
All the space is used to its advantage.
So spacious and cozy looking! Great job!
This Is Soo Perfect And The Best Van Conversion, Wow😍😍😍
This is the best..by way far and I have been watching conversions videos all weekend..outstanding job!
I don't normally comment but i'm making an exception. This has got to be the best van build i've seen. The layout is so well thought out. Love all the little touches I don't think i would change a thing, Just love it!
well thanks for making this video the comment exception! best to you
This is so unbelievably adorable. 👏👏👏
I’ve watched many, many van build videos, and yours is my absolute favorite. The way you’ve partitioned each space is ingenious. When my husband and I built out our new van, I want to do it exactly like yours. That layout would be perfect for us. Are your specs readily available?
for me so far this is the most organize and clean van conversion
original ideas, at the same time very beautiful, while being 100% functional.The perfect van realy exist finally😍
Best conversion I’ve seen on CZcams to date! Absolutely stunning!!. Looks so fresh and cosy. Wouldn’t mind living in it myself :)
beautiful conversion love everything you have done .
Thanks for stopping by Bob!
Probably the best layout I've seen thus far. 😍😍😍 I want one!!
This is the BEST van I’ve ever seen. I’m copying it 100%! OMG THAT BATHROOM!!!! ❤️
thanks for the awesome comment!!!
It's so incredible that it's in a moving car.
I believe this conversion cost massively
Thumbs up for rethinking the interior design. It's refreshing to see a pretty unique van build!
Would loved to have seen her swivel the seats. That's an great seating idea. Great job!!
As soon as I saw the bed underneath I felt the panic of claustrophobia.
Good for kiddos or pets or just full width storage :)
WHAT?! I’m sorry, are you kidding me?! This is stunningggggg - 😱 - absolutely perfect! Wow I’m speechless, talk about dream van!
One of the best and most efficient designs for sure, such a smooth and functional layout. So many great design features but I think one of the most underrated is the counter top cutout for the garbage bin. So simple yet so practical, I'm surprised I've never seen that done before. In a small space being able to reduce the frequency that cupboard doors need to be opened is brilliant, especially with food prep etc..
I've seen some amazing van builds and none of them come close to this one. This is by far the best I've seen. I can't believe how beautiful and functional this build is. It's stunning.
so where's your cloths/ closet?
Under the chairs at the front, look at their video they made a more detailed review :)
CLΛY I can’t find the other video? Where can I watch it?
The other videos have been deleted.
@@jmk1962 sure they have
Seem like it was moved to their own channel czcams.com/video/6k-x79vXaNo/video.html
this is art. best conversion i have ever seen. thanks. nothing like yours in north America. great job!
Adam kwok thank you so much
@@VanLifeBuilds thank you, not sure if you can share the floorplan of your campervan design. we can see everything in your video, but to have the dimensions in CAD draw will definitely help us to understand your room usage.
As i was watching i had to back up to the beginning to make sure it was the sprinter because the layout makes it look huge inside. This is marvelous
This is amazing!
How much does it cost to convert a van same as yours! In total? I would be appreciative for your time in responding, btw I love what you have done to this Van conversion! I especially love the wood shelf and kitchen countertops! Awesome, looks awesome. 😁🤗 Xx
Is it available for rent ?
I have watched so many Van life tours and let me just say this is the best one
There's five passenger seat.. could be used to replace the back twin seats for some closet area.. the best layout I have ever seen.. job well done..
