Woman Built Ford Transit into a Stunning Tiny Home | Van Tour

In this video, we get to tour a gorgeous DIY Ford Transit high-roof 148wb build. Alyssa built it out with her dad as a pandemic project and it turned out stunning! This van features a front wall with mirrored pocket door, a farmhouse-style sink, opposing bench seats and pull-out table to make up a dedicated workspace, and an elevated platform bed.

    You mention fixing the warped wood with better quality wood but I believe you should seal both sides (in a van environment) with oil-based polyurethane. Some of the moisture is just from your breath on a cold night while sleeping. Very nice design though! The water filter idea might be useful for us because we've just been buying bottled water and having to store it somewhere (not for dishwashing though). We always forget to put the water bottles in the sink before we drive and they end up on the floor every time. Also the pull-out desk is a great design, and the mirrored door into the cab area.
