VAN TOUR | Luxury Modern Cozy Van for Full Time Living
Welcome to our new home! After a long eight months, we are super excited to finally be able to share how our new van has turned out!
After spending over 3 years in our last van and having built a few other vans since our first, we wanted to try something new and implement a few changes and upgrades that we’ve been dreaming up. With this new van we were able to put a lot of thought into the details to make the perfect space to fit our needs. We were also able to incorporate some things we’ve never really tried before. It’s always a learning process which keeps things exciting.
This build is on a 2022 Ram Promaster 3500 159WB Extended.

@@limes37138Christian came from the fashion world. Its a matter of personal preference. I would not be wanting to make down a bed every day i know i just wouldnt do it but i would like a good amount of storage space and i dont care if the toilet is in full view of me. I dont need to waste space and water showering every day either. This van has a beautiful bathroom but I would prefer to rough it a bit more just to gain ssome space. I have seen one solo female thought she wanted a shower but did not take long to start hanging clothes in her fixed bathroom. I'd be going solo possibly with a dog. Horses for coarses.
I am a professional interior designer who is extremely efficient in design and this is both absolutely stunning and so very functional. Amazing job you guys!! I'm currently building out my own van. I wish I had the talent and skill to do the actual work aside from the design. You guys are a perfect duo!! Thanks so much for sharing and for being responsible van-lifers. 💖

This is one of the best van builds I've seen! Plenty of space & storage but tucked away with a sleek look. Also, Tonkins is a little cutie pie 🐕❤️

All of the van life video I have seen . You’re van is the most earthly, clean and relaxing . It’s the best . 😊
I love the fact you have a mirror at the front door, for those of you that know, what it stands for or I should say....without going into detail it keeps the bad energy away. Love the shade of green, clean and fresh 👌.
Absolutely everything in this van conversion is beautiful and efficient. Bravo, great job. That pop up shelf was a kick. You guys are so cute. It’s not easy with 3 people (1 canine person) living in a van, many couples are eventually moving onto a tiny house build. But for now, lots of exciting touring lies ahead.
Very nice! It's like a european appartment with the blond wood and white counters. It's very classy looking and I love the panic room for the fur baby.
Wow! This is literally one of the best van builds I’ve ever seen. I love the clean, minimal design you put into it. That green is gorgeous! It seems so functional but aesthetic at the same time. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼
I always gauge these videos by considering whether I would like to live in it or not. Not only could I live in yours, I’d like to have one exactly the same, color scheme and all. Gorgeous! One of the best I have ever seen.
So ridiculously well done! It's impressive that you were able to add special features like the shower and dog house without compromising much on space.
I am fascinated with van conversions and have seen many presented on KZread but this conversion is The Best Uncluttered design style of them all!! So clean, neat, organized, fresh, modern, sleek, etc., etc., etc. Love the thought you two have in accommodating" your son" and the smart conveniences all built in like the sliding table top, back curtains, make-up elevator, doggie storage/seat, etc. Enjoy your van adventures!! Just a spectacular design!
Seriously, that's the smartest design i've seen and i've watched oodles of van tours. Kudos to yall! Hopefully I can find someone to reproduce this!
This has got to be my favorite van build. It looks clean, easy on the eyes and doesn't give the feeling that it's lacking something. Love the bathroom, the sink, the cabinets, the color scheme, overall this is the homiest van I've ever seen.

Suggestion: don't cook with the induction cooktop in the open drawer; it would force you to stay on whichever side of the drawer you're at when you start cooking. I think the curbside counter top has enough space for a built-in induction cooktop. Also if the door on the reefer is reversible, it seems that while cooking, the contents would be easier to access with hinges on the left. Also like the low profile toaster oven.

I think they can just pull it out to cook then put it away. Then they can have free counter space. It’s not like people cook all day so it’ll be a waste to have a built in cooktop

That would be my problem too LOL. Just could not do it. But I love everything else--so many brilliant little touches like the skincare cabinet, sliding window, skylight, toilet/shower and mostly the electrical/heating/water systems. The tech is top-notch, just what I'd want. But yeah...I'd need way more personal storage. Would have to find a way.
Really great, guys. Nicely done. I was thinking, at the end, the curtains didn't stay. There are strip magnets you could sew into the sides to help with that, just in a few key places, and even in the middle to keep them together, if that would work for you. I was recently looking into that for myself, then saw this, and had to suggest it for an easy fix. Congrats on your beautiful new home!
I am totally in love with this van build. I love the green tiles the most and the light wood tones of the van! Makes it so much more open and inviting as well as minimalistic! I absolutely love it and I’ll probably steal some ideas if I ever do a future van build 😅

Your van has everything you need to have it be liveable long term. Since you have previously lived in a van and know what worked and what you would like to have made your new build is so well designed. I love the induction burner and your other little oven that seems to do everything. I haven't seen a refrigerator like yours before. It is very spacious for a van. One thing I love the most is how simple and not cluttered your van is. You have thought of everything. The color is perfect in the shower, bye the way. Congratulations on your new build. Looks like your vision for what you wanted has come alive. Looking forward so seeing you on the road and let us know how it's working out. Your dog is beautiful and I'm so supposed how you managed to build a huge space for your dog. 10 out of 10 in my opinion.
Great work guys. Loved jt
Oh my goodness - this is absolutely gorgeous - you should be so proud of what you have built. The layout and the colour scheme are just perfect. We are about to fitout a new Mercedes Sprinter MWB van - and we have spent literally hundreds of hours over the last 12 months watching KZread videos trying to come up with the perfect layout - and now we have it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - we hope you don’t mind if we “steal” your layout and colour scheme (with a few tweaks to make it our own) 😊 Look forward to following your journey!
What a phenomenal job you guys did! Just a little heads up, with your beauty products being so close to the toaster oven and heat, they may go bad way before the expiry date. They should always be kept in a cool, dark place (which you did). It's said to even kept them in a fridge so they don't spoil. Loved your idea to have the products hidden, though. Enjoy your new home!

I love the special features of this van.
I really like how you made the walls and cabinets pretty. I got a cheerful and relaxed feeling just looking at your van. Light and airy. Love the look of your bathroom. Great job. Definitely a minimalist van but really functional.
Love this! It feels so much more open with the retractable bed
Such a wonderful van conversation
I LOVE this van!! Beautiful naturalistic boho look and feel. Awesome job guys
Great van design! You can get travel kits (for clothes) that compress with a zip, meaning you can fit more into a small space easily. I’d be doing that with such minimal space for clothes, but then, I’d also need hanging space.
I love how SERIOUSLY AESTHETIC this is!
Some really cool design ideas! I love the convertible bed/dinette
Very very nice, super-professional job! I really like the minimalist approach, enhances sensation of spaciousness. Shower/toilet space really well thought out and lovely decorative touches everywhere. May you have years of safe, reliable and comfortable travel/adventures!
I LOVE how nicely this has been organized and the minimal, but homey, decor. Great job!

I love your old van but this one is way better! It has everything needed in a house, bathroom toilet, kitchen, dining and bedroom/ area! And my fave is Tonkins’ space! You guys did it so well. Congratulations and thanks for sharing
The other van was functional, but this is far better living quarters. Good job. I especially like the green tiles with white grout. The green color really pops.
I am in love with this and aside from a bit of claustrophobia this is totally livable cute and compact!! Love it!!!!
Nice clean build. Impressed by their authenticity. My favorites, along with Tim & Katie.
So esthetically pleasing!
Wow. You really thought of absolutely everything! I am amazed at the engineering and detail you’ve put into this. Most people don’t actually put this much thought into regular homes!
LOVE! Best parts: Nice light interior I love the green too. Looks real clean / not cluttered.
So well thought-out. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm so interested what it'd feel like using that bathroom or shower, like dimensions. And if you tend to use them or prefer using toilet and shower elsewhere when possible. Or if someone else reading has similar would love to hear your experience of those. Also
Love this design, the colours are gorgeous and ticks a lot of my list in terms of bathroom, storage, seating and bed arrangements - love it. Enjoy your new home.
This is really beautiful!! Very calming colors and nice layout. Only one thing I would need; a door to the bathroom or at least a curtain. Oh, and more clothes storage. 😉
Absolutely brilliant! It looks so spacious! Perfect choices in materials!🙌

The van alone is about $40k. All of the stuff they mention in the description adds almost another $15k on top of that, so you're probably looking at around $55k - $60k to get something similar. The description also mentions that they partnered with some brand to get the conversion done, so they definitely didn't pay that full amount.
Looks amazing! I love a good well-designed and visually appealing space, and you guys have done a great job maximizing this van to look great and fit your needs. Happy travels!
This by far has to be my favorite van as of yet, definitely hit most of the things I've been looking for 😍
This is such a nice van! Can we get a skincare routine tho?
This is by FAR the BEST van build I've ever seen! Truly living the dream!😍
The amount of useful hidden features is incredible. Amazing design
This is my absolute favourite van conversion to date ❤ The only issue I foresee and/or I would have is the small amount of space for clothes storage. I love the dog area which I would want to replicate as we have a pooch too but as he always wants to be next to me I would possibly have to consider forsaking this for drawers as he sleeps on our bed anyway. Love love love it!
I love the decor! Personally, I would have made the kitchen smaller for more seating area for my grandkids. But since it's just the two of them, it makes sense. 😁
I watch a lot of van built and this is the one I would go for. I love the neutral tones, the whites and the shower!! Beautiful 👌
Great van. I think I’d need a hanging storage unit on the back doors to hold outdoor gear like camp chairs and the like. Gorgeous build.
