I thinking toilet should slide outside 🤔 but your idea 💡 is more practical 😊. I wish you and baby all the best.

I had a Van conversion shop in the 70’s we were proud of our selves mounting a toilet seat to 5 gal. bucket and they were metal back then!!! Hand water pumps for sink it’s come a long way and you’ve made best uses of space I’ve seen, the oven I like it’s perfect for space and I don’t think many cook 5lbs roast while out on the road. Having a shower and toilet space Perfect, I wish you could have seen the one I found back in the day, it had a metal pan that held water that you heated and poured in 12volt pump and a ring that you could hang on back door with shower curtain and spayed water from the ring it was great idea then but you all have this van Perfect you should be Bizzie WOW really it’s great to see this BEST OF LUCK TO YOUS.

I have been a couch RV'er for the last year and have seen hundreds and hundreds of videos. This is one of the best well considered camper van builds I have seen so far. Great to see independent builders doing such a great job. I think most of the big companies are stale in consideration of innovation, design and functionality. Need people like you to shake things up. Great job.

I'm amazed by the level of 'homely' comforts that vans have now reached. And it keeps getting better. The other day I saw a vantour which had a wardrobe within the shower space. It swings open when the bathroom is to be used, but the other time, it's a great usage of otherwise dead space. That and sliding toilet together would be an amazing.
The ultimate baby carriage!....Impressed by the lifted workmanship, I would find myself missing bicycles stored for the off-chance to go on a hike....Now just need to convince Gloria that I am good for it, if to keep matters on the road.
Literally blown away by this design. Massive congratulations on the van but more importantly massive congratulations on your little baby 🥰

This is an awesome build! The only thing I would change would be to move the shower/toilet room opening closer to the front of the van. This is in order to make it easier to access the toilet if you want to leave it out when the shower isn’t needed and you wouldn’t need to step around it to get into the space. Moving the opening forward would also make the toilet less visible.
Next level hippy upgraded by a thousand 🔥😮💨

Congratulations, you have made a camper that is many times more successful and functional than the vaunted factory camper manufacturers... If only there was a little room for a motorcycle... and for me it will be the number 1 camper. It is still the number 1 for non-motorcyclists .Greetings from Bulgaria, Europe
I have been curious about those batwing awnings for camper vans because of the large amount of shade both on the side and out the back but concerned about the deploying and storing. I would love to see a video of how its done on a camper van. Also just a great build overall, very well thought out. I think that is the best shower/toilet storage option I've seen yet.

Seen so many of these videos... That hidden toilet... Amaze. Not that I'm a buyer, but only things I would change: access panel for toilet from outside rather than carrying through van, few more automatic things rather than some of the stuff which looked a bit fiddly (if it's fiddly people don't use it imo) - so hidden automatic blinds for the beds would be sick, different coloured feed hoses (or textures as well) for the grey water tank vs potable water (no nighttime slip ups)... but man, what an epic van build. Even the under sink was so well thought out to be space saving (though I'd put the fire extinguisher near the front!)
