    for as stealth as that thing is the window unit is a dead giveaway. Needs a mini split with the condenser hidden underneath or on top badly

    One thing I don't get about almost all of not all of these rigs. Why do people put these mini-fridges on the floor. There is all kinds of problems with that. You cannot see what is in the fridge. It's hard to reach. You can push stuff to the back and end up forgetting about it or throwing it away. You're unconfortable every time you need to get to the fridge. It's hard to see and visualize and for that reason also hard to organize. I could see that with a freezer that you don't go into very often or need to organize. The same thing with some house designs and how they put the microwave up above the oven? It it was me, I'd want the fridge a little below counter level. Or maybe not because I might go into it more and eat too much or warm it up too much?

    I was thinking the same thing... I could hang a hammock and be happy "if" I could utilize the space for everything else... I mean who cares?! it's just to sleep! I see alot of rigs with the bedroom taking up 70% of the place, and what for? your not living in your bed are you? because bedridden people have no business trying to be nomad imho

    @@chapter4travels I warned my son when I bout his eagles nest set up... we all fall out of a hammok at least once, sure enough he did, and he laughed... hammocks aren't for everyone, some people have told me total nightmares about their body locking up in them and everything, but it is deff an option in a "work in progress van build" cuz the bed room isn't as important as the engine repairs... the build should actually be 2nd to maintenance.

    You know, I’ve seen vans with beautiful cupboards, looking like homes and everything else but this one just blew my mind. Everything you need is there. Just not overdone. The kitchen is probably the most efficient one I’ve ever seen, and his Murphy bed wow yeah it’s the best van conversion I’ve ever seen
