How much did doing this cost you?
T Xt gyg como yse gyyyoy y yy
Inspirational indeed.
What weight is your van after the build. What size engine is the motor?
I really love the shower placement because if you're muddy or wet, or have a dog like us, you're not dragging that through the van. You can simply hop in from the back and wash off first.
Except there goes ALL your storage space.
There are better shower setups
@@agentdoubleo7636 well U were wanting to use more space for storage you could do it half the size and the other half for a wardrobe
Build a shower for your dogs. Not a waste of resources at all. Smart.
surely thats a waste of the back doors. who wants to open up to a shower…
YOU BUILT THIS IN 10 MINUTES?! that's amazing!
I think the hidden shower inside the seating area was one of your best ideas, unless someone is full time living in a van, the hidden shower could be put inside a short or medium wheel based van, without sacrificing much space.
Agree. Not to mention the weight
Iunno, this makes it so you always have a waterproof, stain proof way to walk into your van and take off your shoes for indoor living space.

Finally. A truly livable van with a bathroom instead of a kayak garage full of extreme sports gear. Great job.
So...there are levels to everything. All I can say is that you two are on an entirely different level of your own! Amazing work.
I’m so glad you two are back to building! The separate washroom in the back is so nice. And the colour scheme 👌🏼👌🏼
I've watched a lot of van conversions and I think this one has the best design. The shower in the back is perfect. Just the perfect size van just to stay low pro.
Love the shower. For me my favorite part of the day is starting it with a long relaxing shower so I'm always looking out for van builds that cater to a larger bathroom set up.
I wash myself in a mess tin, get on my level.
Van like isn't for you then. Even with a shower it best be military style or you'll have no fresh water.
Would rather have a toilet myself..
You haven't a clue how much water a shower uses or how much a van like this carries. The tank they had there looked like maybe 120 liters - 22 gallons - 2 x 5 minute showers and it's done.
What I love about this channel is how planned and well organized everything inside the van and how they even built it, so just in case someone buys it they will see how solid this van was made 🙋🏻❤️😏
Let me just say I love this build and the positioning of the shower is DOPE! I’ve been looking for a good shower plan, now the only trade off here is you lose the additional storage space and the ability to lounge out on the bed and get outside views. Guess it depends on what’s most important to us
Important to you 😂😂 I’d run my shower out side so I have a outdoor shower and then it can’t create mould on the inside of my van and I’ll still have storage space, and preferably I’d try n place my bed above the drivers seats high up because I’m quite a small guy 5ft7 with a lean build. So I’d maximise the space around and turn the table and chairs underneath be able to turn into a guest bed
@@swavey416_music7 all sounds good! The shower and toilet aspect of the van is what concerns me the most. I don’t feel I’d be able to do vanlife full time with no home base. It’s the kind of thing I would do for road trips and such
I’ve been watching vids like this for years and years and that is BY FAR the best van build I’ve ever seen! You absolutely NAILED IT… and screwed it… and glued it and, and, and… Amazing design! Your skill set is most impressive! Surely you are pros! I wish my budget and lifestyle still accommodated such a vehicle as you would have my order in a hot minute! Thanks for sharing the process. Even the form and production quality of the video is first rate.
My favorite build, it is exquisitely beautiful. I would have liked to see the finish built in detail as this is. a masterpiece .
Stunning levels of skill here. I've been watching your van builds since the first one, and yous have come a long way. You should be super proud.
Been following a lot of builds, I think the shower in the back is a great adaptation. Possibly the best. For garage space make use of the roof!
The shower in the rear of van is by far the smartest place to put into a conversion unit. Much better than having a bathroom in the front behind driver seat. Bravo. It looks amazing!!!
Gorgeous van. Maybe the cleanest I've seen. The tiling added so much character. And the bathroom is amazing. Great colours and lighting all around. Not sure the layout would work for me, though, as I value a bed that looks out the back doors and a bit of a garage beneath.
Been watching van life videos for a few years now. I’ve probably seen 1000. This is by far the best looking one I’ve seen. That shower/bathroom is a work of art
I am a huge fan of the shower as well! If I ever had a van like that I'd want to be able to live in it comfortably, even with guests. So the idea of having to shower or use the toilet in the middle of the vehicle is a nightmare to me. THIS on the other hand is absolutely genius and makes me think I could live in a van one day.
I'm building my van out too. It's amazing how you can put 3 years of build into 10 minutes of video.
I love the attention to detail and overall aesthetic of this build! 😍😍😍
I have seen many videos! I mean a lot trying to figure out a van conversion with minimal , but essential for 3 to 4 days out on the road trip, trying to visualize what most couples or single person would want. This is the one! I love it all but I'm a writer figuring what would this couple/person would have to be that self efficient on the road with the comforts of what a home is on the road. This one, to me represents that.
The Precision and pride of workmanship is SO apparent... this is a SWEEET build. mad skillz. Bravo!
i love this but the toilets are always the deal breakers for me hahahahah
Please come out with a plan for the pull-out bed / storage design! Love your builds, keep up the amazing work
This is amazing. Love the dark and then light contrast
I love the hex tiles. When and I'd I ever get to do my van I will have her tiles in it. Love your guys style. Everything flows so well. Great job
I have watched so many videos but I really love how you put so much on shower area as home style than others.
excellent work. Excellent video. Love your design choices of the grays, natural woods and, a touch of green. Gorgeous natural vibe.
unusual floor plan, but the end result is absolutely amazing. That looks so amazing. I stole a few ideas for my conversion
Magnifique. Beau boulot !!!👍
Just wanted to say you guys do amazing work!
Your contemporary aesthetic sense is very attractive. Beautiful conversation!
nothing but greatness here .. even the exact grout brand I would use... light weight shower prep is good idea geeez
I really like this project. I would have placed a small rectangular window in the bathroom in one of the two back doors at the top, this would make it feel less claustrophobic and would let in more natural light instead of the mirror light which is very strong and artificial.
O.M.G This is one of the best builds I’ve seen so far 🔥🔥🔥🔥 that rear shower put the icing on the 🎂
Still amazed how you guys make something so hard look so easy.
Fantastic to see the process, and what a great design and result!
Absolutely incredible! The attention to detail is inspiring. Amazing work! :)
Awesome build! You do remarkable work together! Gotta say, that's the most adorable little iron I've ever seen (edge banding)!
ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!
Vous êtes définitivement les meilleurs au niveau de la conception. Je vous suis depuis les débuts, et le résultat est toujours incroyable. It's Amazing. A très très bientôt 🖖. Bye bye.
Brilliant conversion guys, fantastic job very relaxing to watch with the chilled tunes lol!
one of the best (when not "the" best) conversion tht i have ever been seen ,and im seeing a lot of them ! thumbs up
WOW!!! I have a Van and considering renovation... I am truly impressed with look of the Bathroom design!
OMG. I love all of that van. Great job!!
Amazing! That's a no compromise bathroom! But I don't understand why the toilet was put in an angle when there is enough space to put straight, seems inconvenient to sit towards the door. My knees would be smashed against them. BTW, check out the bathroom solution in the Hymer Vision Venture van. It's an expanding area, really smart.
Absolutely stunning! 🤩
I love the bathroom mirror concept.
Might be one of the most impressive builds I've ever seen
Stunning end product 2 talented craftsmen 👍👍👍
This is soooo beautiful!! Also soothing to watch!
Magnifique 😻
Im in love❤️ with her van🤗 perfect !
Best van and layout I've ever seen 😄
Bother, I love 🖤 those octagon shapes you installed I’m feelin it ! 😀
This van is amazing ! What a tons of skill !
I made the whole rear of my van into a watertight area, so that I could shower in comfort, with a woodburner if so desired. Was really pissed off with awkward cramped showers over the years. Turned the space into something usable. Ideal for watersports/Surfing.
Absolutely stunning 🤩
Great vision, so creative. I wish I was that talented!
Beautiful. What a great van.
Best van build I've seen yet!
I LOVE THIS BUILD HOLY MOLY!! Dream vehicle :)
