Bathroom and shower set up is brilliant! Love the bed, especially the coverlet on it. The table is very clever as is the single bed. However, I didn't see a CO2/smoke detector or a fire extinguisher. Call me crazy, but I'm a firm believer in having such safety equipment to hand, just in case. Very good job.

Happy New Year from Patagonia. Really Good build. I really like the shower(s). What is the finished vehicle weight?

@truebluetravellers

Жыл бұрын

Happy new year to you too pat, I haven’t got it weighed yet but going off my previous van build which was pretty similar I expect it to come in around the 3 tonne mark, so leaves 500. Kg payload here in the UK, one way of saving weight was by using 6mm ply on the walls and ceiling and routing a v groove in it to give it a tongue and groove affect. This saves allot of weight and also won’t gap like tradition t&g does, I meant to mention this (and allot more) in the video but totally forgot when the camera was on me 🤦‍♀️

Amazing build, the only thing I'd probably do different is replace the 1000W inverter to a beefier one (a 2000W or a 3000W perhaps just in fear of not overheating the inverter as a result of plugging a power hungry device). Also do you guys utilize alternator charging through the DC to DC charger?

@truebluetravellers

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for that, yes it’s got a victron 30amp dc dc charger which charges the leisure batteries, I put a 1000w in as we have a inverter in our own van of 1000w but we have never used it, I try to charge everything via 12v rather than using the inverter but yep I agree definitely put a bigger one in if you run more 240v appliances

Al principio 🤣🤣🤣😂

It's a great design and good use of space, but my only criticism is you can't swing a cat in that narrow floor space. I see lots of vans pack too much in. I think the secret is simplistic minimal design. I think showers are overrated in vans and take up too much floor space for its weekly 10 minutes of usage per week. Big sinks are brilliant where you can wash yourself well enough without compromising floor/living space. That said, your design is quite clever and your shower design incorpates toilet, and work top space and it's been well thought through. Swb and mwb vans must have swivel seats in my opinion to open up the van space and make them feel bigger, create more floor space and let more light in, especially in stealth vans with few or no windows. I don't understand these designs where they close the cab off from the rest of the van? Love all the storage space and retractable bed. Great video. 👍

Thanks Philip, we put the shower in like we do so there’s always the option and also then it gives u a little bit of privacy with the toilet but I do agree that showers are a bit overrated in vans, I think the biggest thing for me is water as when wild camping it seems to be the hardest thing to find so if you shower allot even with the 100litre water tank, the water doesn’t last long. saying all this the misses wouldn’t have it any other way as she wants to feel fresh 😂I think us men don’t mind stinking a bit more
