What did the Eurolift bed lift cost and where did she get it? It is made by the same people that make the a Happijak but they told me that it is almost impossible to become an OEM with them because they have very high minimum orders commitment. That means they’re going to be so few vendors price will be astronomical. They even discouraged me from wanting one saying it’s only used in multi million dollar motor coaches in weird locations which is BS about the weird locations. Those double pane acrylic windows in the back also cost a pretty penny. She spent a fortune on this conversion but I guess that’s what interior designers do.

@@joshn2342323 Honestly, living in a van is about 100x more stressful. Seriously. The angst of figuring out where to sleep each night. the stress of breaking down and not only your vehicle but also your home towed for repairs that can take days/weeks. The stress of living in a depreciating asset that will be worth 1/2 of what you paid for it. The stress of not having a central place to call your own. Don't get me wrong, for a vacation they simply rock. but full time living in a van is actually pretty sucky. They all have zero insulation and you need to run a generator 24/7 to keep cool and the heater to keep warm. BTDT. Oh, and it is usually more expensive than living in a sticks and bricks home or apartment !

Oh my goodness. I never ever thought of using magnets to stick herb and spice bottles to the underneath of cupboards. As someone with a disability who finds it really difficult to grab some things, this is a genius idea. I don’t live in a tiny house, never want to live in a tiny house, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get fantastic storage ideas from tiny houses!

One of the best-designed vans I've seen. Exactly how I would have it, a roomy place to take a shower, and sitting area behind that. I think a lone female needs two things if she is going to do vanlife, a bathroom so she doesn't have to leave the van at night, and a way to get to the cab quickly without leaving the van, and being able to "relocate" or leave the area as quickly as possible. If I had a van to design into a living space, I'd definitely take it to you.

Looks bigger and more functional than the majority of van conversions. I like the colors and design choices too. It's a really nice one.

I NEVER considered a van for a tiny home until I seen this! I can see myself living comfortably in this set up! BEAUTIFUL!

Shannon has done a brilliant job in designing this van conversion and has totally nailed all of the space and storage solutions. The bed lift system is just pure genius. I totally want my own van, when I do finally get one, to be just like this one. No costing is mentioned though and I’m guessing that a conversion as top class as this one doesn’t come cheap. It’s definitely my favourite van conversion that I’ve seen so far.

I live in a small apartment, so I'm fascinated by people who know how to utilize small spaces. You are one of the most amazing space users I have seen. That bed blew me away! Beds take up so much space and for you to have a lifting bed that rises to the ceiling of the van when not in use and blends in with the ceiling is one of the most efficient uses of space I have ever seen! Your organizational skills are also amazing. Love how you compartmentalize your closet space so efficiently. You even have a small compartment for your skis!

I've seen many, many, many van homes and yours is perfection in every way. If I ever decided on van life I would most definitely want you to design mine! 🖒🖒🖒😊

@@rubiconoutdoors3492 I believe only front wheel drive. Not ideal for traction when you do a van build with all your weight on the rear axle! Especially this one with 40 gallons of water and 600ah of batteries. That's a lot of weight right over or behind the rear axle transferring even more weight off of the front drive wheels where it's needed for traction.

This is really good! It checks the boxes where most van builds compromise on but I do not really want to: 1. shower + toilet 2. good size sleeping area 3. comfy living, dining, entertainment area 4. ventilation/airconditioning options 5. working kitchen Bonuses 1. outdoor table options 2. those windows are a good case for getting your build done by pros 3. rice cooker + steamer is awesome (and uncooked rice is easy to keep and won't spoil right for a while) - with the right recipes, you won't need a stove for many meals

Each person has different needs depending on their lifestyle. Some people build without a shower, others have minimal cooking area and room for bikes etc. You can get ideas from various channels depending on your interests and budget. There are people who also build from ambulances, buses and box trucks. You do you. And there are numerous toilet options as well.

The shower in Shan's van solves the one problem I have not seen addressed in others. Also love the double bed system. Arguably the BEST van build I have seen. 👌🏾

Beautiful build. This is only the 2nd build I've seen the that uses the drop down bed. That, the drop down counter extensions and pull out table are truly a very smart use of space. Happy travels to you and Gracie.

Really great job.....I am an elder single small female traveler also. I traveled for 2 years in the USA in a motor home and then to different countries......I really like being solo because I went and did exactly what I wanted to do when I wanted. LOL I never felt afraid. I actually think I was safer because I was never seen as a threat to others and people seemed to look out for me.....I also had dog while I was living in the MH, and after he died then I traveled also overseas and camped on beaches or in hostiles for 12 years .....I really liked how you set up the van and if I decided to go that direction, (you got me itching) I would definitely look you up for your talents and suggestions. thanks

There are numerous variants of positive locking latches. Amazon is an easy source, and In general, van builders looking for ideas could do worse than to look at the marine industry - the marine stuff all costs a fortune, but there are usually cheap knockoffs of passable quality to be had. Marine stuff is built to withstand bumping and rocking, so in that sense there's a lot of commonality with van builds.

If you are boondocking in a remote area and fear for your safety, calling the police is not an option.

Shannon seems like a very levelheaded young woman.
