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!

Agreed, only thing I miss is storage for clothes and the like.
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

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.

This is the best conversion I have seen! I am obsessed with your layout. ❤️❤️❤️
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 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!

Unbelievable! So cozy and pretty. The windows are gorgeous. BRILLIANT.
Vantastic! Especially like front seating area with swivel seats.
I can live in this van! One of my fave van conversion 😍♥️
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!!

Perfect layout! The most functional one with everything needed plus an extra bed area.
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!!
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.
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.
This is the best conversion I’ve seen. You’ve got some really creative ideas going there.
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..
I've watched over 30 van conversion tours and this one is my favorite! Such an awesome design truly.

Perfection. Streamlined .Doesn't seem cramped. Shower/compost toliet is amazing.
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!

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.
One of the nicest layouts I’ve come across! Dope!!!
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..by way far and I have been watching conversions videos all weekend..outstanding job!
I have been binge watching van conversion videos for the last month, this is by FAR the best layout I've seen, it's absolutely beautiful! This is my top inspo for my van conversion later this year... So so so brilliant!

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.
This is THE best conversion ive seen yet! Wonderful job!
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.
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.
This Is Soo Perfect And The Best Van Conversion, Wow😍😍😍
This van is one of the best I've seen!! Love the bathroom😍🙌❤
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.
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!
IN LOVE WITH THIS VAN! Brilliantly designed. Respect.
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.

original ideas, at the same time very beautiful, while being 100% functional.The perfect van realy exist finally😍
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’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.

I love that design. The bathroom is in a perfect area and very roomy. I really think its the best design
Yeah, I have watched hundreds if not more and I have about 5 favorites and I found my favorite without a doubt. This is my needs. My other favorite is a open concept, but I like how this makes you feel your leaving into another area. Definitely will look through both for inspiration. This is pretty perfect to me. Thank you and be proud!!!
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.
