The van is beautiful, but without a indoor shower is not luxury 😁. I build my shower first, after everything else. 😝

Like you, I would want an indoor shower. But everyone has a different idea of what luxury is. Sounds like luxury for this couple is storage and a big bed. I think they mostly use park facilities. Otherwise, showering outdoors in a swimsuit or naked with a shower curtain still gets the job done with no loss of precious space.

Lovely van build, just missing an indoor shower

But not missing the moisture an indoor shower creates. I've met loads of people now with class B's and not one of them uses the shower. Ends up being a storage closet. Something to think about if you are thikning about getting one.

I would put the shower near the door with fan very near but love your van anyway

Can't get over that secret drawer. Loved the custom woodwork drawers & hardware and the counter space. Best van tour ever but I can't believe you both didn't notice that all your stuff is gone! Even after Sarah's magic trick! Anyway, you seem delighted and I know that was a lot of work to get it all cleaned out like new for us. Enjoy your fresh organized home. Also, I know you realize just how lucky you both are to just have each other for your journey.

Maybe the best combination of form and function I've seen in a van. Well done, guys. You've also incorporated really high quality/best-in-class features and components, while avoiding putting in a bunch of useless stuff (like a shower) that creates a lot of complexity, takes up a lot of space, and nobody ends up using. Even the clip on awning, brilliant! really nicely done!

Wow thank you for this!! Greatly appreciate it.

I was loving it right up to the wardrobe, which i was hoping would be one that converts into a shower, but I was disappointed to see it was the only space that was wasted. It could have easily been a converted shower/toilet/wardrobe... wasted space!

I love your van layout and decor! I would prefer to have an indoor shower, but all in all, it's pretty cool. Do you build for other people? 😀

Love it!! Favorite part of your van is the fact that you have 3 full large breed doggos! My husband and I want to do this but currently have 7 rescues. We would definitely need bigger and make a section just for the dogs - Can you imagine! You guys are an inspiration - Your van is perfect in every way! Style, comfort, ease and STORAGE!!!!

I’m not able to be a van traveler so I live vicariously through watching van tours on line. I have to say that this is one of, if not the best use of space I have ever seen with no sacrifice of aesthetics. Love that your dogs are part of your van life. And that garage is amazing. Enjoy your travels!

Really nice van layout in that small space. I’m impressed. But agree with many comments - it needs a shower but not sure where you’d put it!

Very beautiful van that is also highly functional. Great job!!

I love the flip up stove cover, the wood ceiling, nice bedroom outside lights, love the bike rack, the roof deck, not too sure about the outside shower, but it is a great alternative that you have come up with and love all the details that added “depth” 😊 and character. Very nice.

I liked all the little touches created to simplify van life like: -Air Heater under passenger seat, -Designed wood wall separator btw areas, -500 lb tp slideout for housing tp and use for step to bed, -Upgrade to sliding door handle for ease, - Installed same cedar (painted different color than ceiling boards) and added box on end and installed on/off switch to porch-outdoor, flood-like lighting for nighttime, -Smaller fans for solar panels, -Rooftop Deck & w/Starlink holder perm installed to it, -Back doors open entirely, - Extra tire partly on side and tip of roof. (Could this also help as a bumper for dent protection?), -Shelving with rod and deep sink for holding & watering plenty of house low light plants, -Bike rack perm attached, -Tow hitch with step to place bikes & help w making bed, -Counter top matched and fitted over stove for added counter space with push up button to hold in place when up, and the flip up for extended counter space too. So many features. I took notes throughout your informative video. There were so many neat features. Thank you for sharing your beautiful, luxury van build. It looks like it was built well, with a home feeling, and with fun & ❤ love & heart, too!

This is one of the best builds I have ever seen.(and I have watched a LOT of vids lol) We have the same van in ceramic grey and will be starting the build before summer is over. The hidden drawer within the drawer bottom is brilliant. Also love the hidden range with the fold-up counter backsplash and the dining/couch combo area is great. Nice finish look to that overhead cubby too. I could go on and on. It is obvious how much thought you guys put into this layout. Nothing is wasted. It's amazing you fit that closet space! I am trying to integrate the ability to shower/drain into our design without dedicating the space exclusively for the shower. Can I ask you...a link or manufacturer of the little premade shelf with the keyhooks from Amazon? It says link in description but I can't seem to find that sleek piece on their site with any of my descriptions. Cheers! Dan & Cheryl in the mitten

Hello sir， i am your channel follower and i watched your all Vlog. I really love them. But now, i decide to purchase a RV, can u tell me why u do not set a washing machine or dryer in your vehicle? Especially the machine which can combine both of the functions and the size is compact?

hopefully the Dawn dishsoap is there for something else, it won't be acceptable for gray water if you are actually using it.

If you haven't already, you guys deserve to be winning some awards for your layout/design features! I think I have watched 3 or 4 times already and my wife, a couple times. We are getting ready to start a build on the exact same van ('23) in the Ceramic Grey. Can I ask you if you have a link or supplier name of the modified/upgraded side sliding door handle?

Your van is beautiful, but not having an indoor shower would make full time living difficult. Also, how do you keep the van cool enough to leave your dogs during the hot summer? Is there a reason all your possessions are removed? I assume you don’t live in the van full time. I don’t know how you fit 2 people and 3 massive dogs, in your space, for long periods of time, and in all weather.

We follow the weather! So we make sure we’re always in mild weather so we’re all content. Worst case scenario if it ever gets hot we’d get an Airbnb or hotel. But with the vent fan on in mild weather it feels GREAT. Also we sold everything we owned minus our sentimental things which we kept at a family member’s house. Easy peasy when you start out as minimalist already!

I feel the same way about stinky dogs, but not all dogs shed or are stinky. My son's pit bull never sheds and never smells, and I love snuggling with him in bed. On the other hand, I have a friend with Australian Sheppard dogs, and I can barely breathe when I step into her house, it stinks so bad. The hair is also everywhere. Anytime she prepares food, you are 100% guaranteed to find dog hair in it.

Shower please
