I can vouch for the composting toilet. My in laws have one on their sailboat, and as long as everything goes in the right compartment, you rotate, and change accordingly- it never smells. There's an actual head with a sink and a door - and they put the toilet on a platform to raise it up. Which is a possibility in a conversion van, depending on the size. And no black water tank is great.

The spaciousness is an optical illusion from the filming techniques used. Very common in van life videos and stills. It makes it looks bigger than a regular RV. Living in one is when reality hits you. Good start is to take a roll of masking tape and tape out a full size floor plan for the vehicle you are interested in making the build in.

this is probably one of the best van builds i have seen. the table pull out is amazing considering SO many people hate the conversion that usually needs to happen to get the table set up, taken down. very smart!

This is the best one I've seen. Lower the bed, move the toilet to one of the side compartments and it's perfect.

Best van build ever! Suggestion, pull out the passenger seat and install a drained shower pan. Use also for storage. Install seatbelt to seat by the bed. Great for one person living.

I love this van conversion. ❤ Everything has been thought out meticulously ...everything ...including the use of the kitchen sink faucet as a make shift shower ...which I would have done, too.

Amazing!!!! This is the one build that I’ve seen that takes my breath away. It’s everything. Thank you so much.

This is probably the best van conversion I’ve ever seen. The way you use every space on the van is amazing! I love the colors to!

This is my favorite van conversion! I think I would only ever use something like this as a camper, and therefore put a little less into it, but so far this is the biggest kitchen I've seen, and that's really important to me!

Some how it ends up looking wider than almost any pro master van conversions I have seen.

One of my favorite builds by far. I'd possibly want a shower added on the back, but I can't imagine changing much, if anything about this van. Excellent layout!!

I think this was the 2nd van tour I watched. Couldn't resist watching it again! After seeing sooo many and and seen more modern ones, this one still holds a certain appeal. So real and warm. I really do love it!

I can appreciate her desire to travel, she overlooked several things. Did anyone tell her it's illegal to use her camper as a permanent dwelling, and that she is now considered by the government as homeless.

the one thing I wonder about the mobile home life like this is how they refill their water tank... like where do they get their water source from? 🧐 I understand that the electricity is from solar panels, the gas is in a mini-tank which is easily accessible in a store... but refilling the water in a water tank.. How is it done? Also there's probably a weight limit for these kinda builds but does that take into account the supplies and resources too? I wonder how it all works.. I don't wanna delve too deep into it though. Just really curious on it.

Clever. Always fun to see how best it works for the owner. You can figure out if it would suit you, or where you might adjust or tweak certain aspects. Well done. 💔RIP little Sam too.
