Tulum Inspired Concrete Oasis DREAM Van Tour
This van build and design is one of a kind. They went all out and made a functional and beautiful van all on a Sprinter 170. Feels like a spa and the only thing I'm not happy about is I wasn't able to see it in person. Thank you to Kyle for doing a tour for me and being able to share with everyone on my channel. Everyone links below, including mine, enjoy!

Jarrod is looking less hot in this tour.
Who is it the "Shedan" who does some kind of Vanbuild community thing mentioned here?
@@craigbrowning9448 search "van tour incinerating toilet"
Hi Jarrod, what do you think are the best electronic heat pads for under floor heating for a simple efficient setup
I think he did a great job!
I don’t know why more ppl don’t do this kind of layout…so much nicer than the bed in the back. Really beautiful!
It's a fantastic layout for occasional getaway, a few weeks or even months. The layout might not be practical if you plan to live on it full time. But I love the concept of a happy jack and the plaster cement thing. This is an amazing first time build. Kudos to this couple.
Amazing layout!
Love the layout too. Could be because standing height is 5’6” under bed. Could also be it might only work on a 170 sprinter or any of the longer wheelbase vans. Would be interesting to see if someone did this layout in a shorter van
@@JarrodTocci It could be possible, though there certain things that could be omitted (less cabinet space for instance). That wall to the driver side might have to be removed for extra room. Would love to see someone's take of this layout.
@@JarrodTocci If I decided to purchase a van and want this exact layout, who to contact?
After careful review, this is the #1 build on the van life circuit hands down. Full bath, bed lift, full seating opening to the sliding door, full kitchen and plenty of storage. The 2 sinks are mind blowing.
Where is the toilet?
On the shower wall by the garage
Did I miss the full bath?
@@missrubexyes. In the back
Are you talking about the bathroom or an actual bath for bathing in?
Wow the only van I could move into without changing A thing! From the walkable solar panel to the elevated bed and the all in one bathroom. This is perfection 💘
This is first rate indeed! I would never consider such a van-till I saw this unit
Thank you guys so much :)
A great van build. A SMART bedding elevated and layout. Accomodation for guest '8' is real architectural decor.
I'm speechless. And I cannot believe this is their first build. This van is amazing. Congratulations on building this beauty.
This is by far the best, most thought out, clever and beautiful van build I have ever seen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I second every word! I never make comments on social media but I just felt I had to here. Every single detail is outstanding. …and don’t talk to me if there is no sink in a bathroom!…that’s gross! But this team made one here & beautifully. This is absolutely the best! Congratulations to this amazing duo on a job WELL DONE!
Bathroom could be better
Still second to Shadin’s van.
@@stonedog23 which is? 🤷🏻♂️
I'm no expert on van interiors but jeez, the most astoundingly practical and beautiful interior I've ever seen. I'll say no m re as i' pr ctical y spe ch es..........
Wow! Easily one of the best van builds I've ever seen. I can't believe it's a first build. Vanlife incubators need to become a common theme, because this is next level
I'm currently living in my first unplanned van life situation. It is so freeing and relaxing. Fist I did was 300w solar. I just received my 200Ah of LiFePo4 last week and haven't gotten around to them yet. I know it will be amazing compared to my refurbished 20Ah AGM. My added benefit/room is an observatory! I do some astronomy and use the sliding door as my observatory door with my scope standing ready. I keep scope weighted down and bungee it up to roof so it rides fine and always ready. I just unhook the roof bungee and can set it outside in seconds. Separate red solar led strand for the astro nights. I also do amateur radio and CB and often run 500w output and setup home base antenna to do better. The LiFePo4 and solar are mainly to power my radio rig off-grid for a weekend or more. Well that was the plan until I moved into the van now I have 2x large TV's, a bed, cook tops, potty, heater, AC options coming next year and customizations like dividing wall with door, window and vents to separate the living area from front and side entrance. I think vans are becoming more and more important in our society with the ever increasing cost of life and the people/individuals (sheep if you will) becoming more sour. I need this 'out' to happen so I have insurance against home loss or dangers that may force an impromptu move like fire or flooding. Good to have a lifeboat! Our society is fragile and looks prone to collapse, I don't trust it. My safety and freedoms are my responsibility!
Thank you! Totally agree about the incubators :)
I have been binge watching van tours for a couple of days now and i keep coming back here, this is the best design ever. Nothing compares to this van
Seriously one of the nicest camper vans I have ever seen. The attention to detail, the styling and the usability. You can really tell they put a lot of effort into making this and making it not only very homey but functional as well. Kudos to them for such an inspiring build!
Thank you so much!
I've watched a lot of "Van Build" videos on a variety of KZhead channels. I have to say, this is my number one all-time favorite van build! Great set-up. Great colors. Great flow of movement in the van. Having the "bedroom" above the "living room" is great. The ONLY thing I would change is the cook top. I prefer to cook with gas. Thank you for sharing this build!!
I too am hit or miss on cook tops
@@JarrodTocciwasher dryer combo?
And I would like an oven.
Thank you! We also debated a lot, and personally I prefer cooking on gas always. But we decided in the van that safety and practicality wise it just makes more sense to go induction.
Gas require extra tank, so extra storage, limited in such type of builds. Also produce specific smell & burn oxygene, so I vote for current decision.
This is the best design I love the most throughout the years of watching vanlife.
Thank you for such a compliment, appreciate it!
How, how, HOW could they let this van go???????😮
They are such a lovely down to earth couple. I'm super impressed how they give credit to anyone that inspired them.
$226,000 for this van. Good lord, I wish I had that kind of money to buy a toy with, haha. Amazing work!
If they did build it in a community with other van builders, I’m sure this layout has been replicated at a much lower cost.. the layout is probably the best I’ve ever seen.. and the bed doesn’t necessarily need to be on a lift at all, which I am sure is an expensive component.. One could literally just add some extra cushions and boards and stack them in the seating area to create a bed, and then replicate most of the rest of the layout to a similar calibre of quality, and in any other type of van, I should think.. Did you scour their YT channel to find out their budget ? Just to verify .. And thanks, btw :)
@@IyoLu the bed does need to be on a lift because it will just be a giant hassle to have to lower your bed every night when u are beaten from the day i feel like. Thats also the main reason how they fit the bathroom and in my opinion even after that space requirement reduction the back of the van feels claustrophobic with the insane amount of storage they have put
Beautiful Always extra points for making the interior in such a way, it doesn't have one single area that reminds you, that you're in a van.
Thats exactly what we went for! What a compliment - thanks!
you don't need a single one of those commas
@@nicoleandedden great job of design guys Wtg!
I'm just floored that this is your first build. It's so sophisticated and elegant, as if the result of many previous builds. I can't imagine how much better it will get. Agree about 2 wheel drive. Love the sensibility on every level.
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
I have watched hundreds of videos on van design and this, without doubt, is the most tasteful, practical and best looking one I have seen. Just fantastic, beautiful and totally unique. WOW! Congratulations, what a brilliant piece of design and build!
My favorite layout so far. Love the bunkbeds built in concept too. Phenomenal small space to call home for a van-lifer/campers!
Appreciate that a ton :)
So proud of you guys, you built the most beautiful van I’ve seen and that’s coming from someone who tries to build the most beautiful vans 😂 Really incredible job, so much talent, so excited to see what you do next 🔥🔥🔥
Couldn't have done it without you brother. Thanks for everything!
See what you do Shaiden 😂 bring these two into your home and they turn out this masterpiece. I know you’re working on some really cool stuff so I can’t wait to see it and show it off
It is so good it boggles the mind!
@@nicoleandeddenthis is a beautiful van build. I absolutely love it. This is how I would want mine. I watch a ton of videos. This set up with the bathroom in the back is so ideal. And I love the bedroom/living room.
How awesome of you to have them live and learn from you and your community. Kudos to you ! Do you have your own YT channel?
Such a beautiful well designed van with ample space. Way to go!
This is by far one of the best van builds I’ve seen. Has such a home feel and very cozy. Great job !
Fantastic build. The new owners are going to be very happy in it. Love the bathroom in the back.
Thank you! :)
@@nicoleandedden❤
This van is like an Italian Villa on wheels! ❤ Kyle, Awesome job! Great video of an amazing Van.
STUNNING! Bravo to these young people who have a great eye for design, functionality and practicality.
I watched hundreds of RV vid's, I just cannot get over your build, hands down the best, absolutely gorgeous to say the least!
Probably my favourite van layout I've ever seen. Particularly when combined with that funky concrete stuff and the other finishes. :)
Right. In my head I thought I would do something entirely different until I saw how well and thought out they built this van.
Appreciate that! Thank you so much :)
Stunning! I love everything they did, especially the bathroom at the rear, as well as the hydraulic lift bed. Superb design and aesthetic.
This is one of the most impressive van builds and so beautiful. Wow. Well done!
Best build I've ever seen!! Hard to believe it was their first! Also love the colors & that micro cement they used!! 😊❤
Wow! This is such a beautiful van. This is definitely a favorite of mine.
definitely the nicest Van build I have seen
Not only the best layout and most functional but also the prettiest design and aesthetic. Well done!
Appreciate that a lot :)
Ingenious design. I would replicate that any day over some of these other layouts. Love it!
Wow, what a wonderful build. Just amazing. I love the bathroom, the bed, the closet, just everything.
Hands down one of the best builds I’ve seen. LOVE the bathroom in the back, and that’s a sick kitchen! Top shelf build!
Thank you so much!
This is simply incredible! You guys thought of everything! It's the kind of perfect van I've been looking for. You guys are amazing. It has everything in big enough sizes without being cramped. This must be a very huge van. So well laid out. Thanks for sharing. Will follow on Instagram.
What a beautiful home on wheels. Love this. They did a Fantastic job.
Love that bathroom. As an older couple this is a great layout
This is the most beautifully done Van❤❤❤❤ My fav and I’ve watched soooooo many!
im totally in awe of this van. there is nothing i can fault and everything i applaud. such style such comfort and it feels like the perfect home on wheels. huge congratulations.
A really smart design, love the bathroom. I think having a full bathroom is a must.
This was thrilling to watch. Lots of subtle surprises along the way and much class! Awesome build!
This is for sure the best layout i have ever seen in a diy build. Nice people and a nice build.
Wow! This is amazing. This van really made me miss vanlife. So cozy. I love this layout way more then the usual layout. Nice job! 👏🏽
No one talks about how expensive the consumables are for the dry flush toilet. It may be a simple solution, but it's not cheap.
Agree but have to ask you want is worth it. Time to clean up a compost, pay for replacement bags, or deal with cassette. Almost pick your poison situation. Someone that has been around all 3 of those I pick dry flush
Wow, after watching hundreds of van tours, this is the PERFECT VAN for me, so amazing!!!
Excellent. A sink in the bathroom with the bathroom at the back of the van absolutely fantastic😊
What a sweet couple 😊 Fantastic design. Thanks for sharing
Just stumbled across this whilst looking at ideas, this, hands down is best I have seen. An amazing layout, so much attention to detail. Very inspiring.
What a talented couple! And so humble 😊 Absolutely stunning van, aesthetically and functionally.
OMG, ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BUILD ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍. Love the huge living room space
Not only was it an incredible van build (which btw, mind blown!!!), but you also had the perfect backdrop for the video with the parasailor showing up in the right spots as if on cue. Way to go, Kyle!
I love this van. I particularly like the shower room area in back. Love to see how the choice or “concrete” finish holds up in van in a couple yrs. Definitely interested in doing this
Amazing build! Looks incredible and very usable space. If the Laveo ever added a urine diverter into a small canister you could remove and dump, I think it would be absolutely perfect!
This would be so amazing! What a great idea.
Agree
Yes & an on demand hot water heater would have been much better than a 4 gallon tank.
She said they crystalize the urine. Don't think you flush that until ??? More ???
@@volvoqueen9698yes… was thinking that one…what do they do,once it is crystallised??? What is this product ?? Didn’t see this product mentioned by any of the other camper vaners…🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hands down one of the best van build I have seen on KZhead! Great job!
This has to be the BEST van I have ever seen!!! Love EVERYTHING , I mean everything even the toilet!! Wow!!
I love, love, love this van! WOW, just WOW!
We love your idea because it looks like a lovely home. Too bad that the leading RVs have not thought of this and keep on doing what you guys are doing.
Fantastic little van! LOVE IT! I love the wood engraving on the door the lady did! Would love to have seen a close up but I get the general idea. That is really cool personal little touch! Love the walnut veneer and the lighting and the general mood in the van.
Appreciate that so much! You can see more detailed pictures and videos of the wood burning on our channel :)
One of the best van layouts I have ever seen!
What a beautiful build! Well planned. High quality! Dream home.❤
I'm not one for interior design, but this is absolutely stunning. That the aesthetic is so practical as well ticks all the boxes.
The best layout so far. Clean, spa-like, and I love the fact that the bathroom is in the back & the toilet can be tucked away. But and BUT For me ... instead of a wall separating the front... I'd just use a nice curtain, drape, or some kind of covering that you could roll up to be held up with a nice string, ribbon, rope ...
Unique, innovative, warm & luscious build. And brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
You guys have the ultimate van great job!!! Love love the layout.. good luck on your journey..❤
Wow, these van builds I've been seeing lately are off the charts amazing. We didn't see the sliding door from the inside but they said it was arched as well. I love that feature. Just gorgeous!! Thanks for the great tour. Hi Jarrod, hope the tiny is coming along well.
Hi! It’s coming along
Thank you so much!
These people and I think the same keep the van looking like a home inside. Great video Kyle
This is an amazing van ,looks perfect in every way .
Beautiful. Best bathroom I've seen in a tour van or RV! Same with the lounge
Gorgeous home. So well-planned. Exactly what I would want in a van!❤🙏 Jane
The bed there is amazing, saved so much space and gives a proper living room feel. The fact you can sit in the living room or lie in bed with the door open is epic. Would be good if you could stand up there though.
The layout is an absolute perfection. Love the seating area, the bed, all is perfect
I just got into van life videos and this is the best I've seen. Such a well thought out build and I am really liking the bathroom at the back that can serve as a wet room. I'd be using that everyday!
This is the best layout I ever saw. Clean, livable and cozy! I would have used a "high top" van to gain more room for the bed so just in case one needs to rest in bed and the other one has to work on the laguna table they both can but this is near perfection to my taste! ❤
Thank you so much!
Amazing build. Love the design and the colors of the interior. Great job!
Really well thought out and a beautiful space. Love it.
It is a phenomenal build, unique enough, making it one of my favorite to date. It is definitely in the top 10 from hundreds I've seen. And BTW, great job, Kyle!
Thank you so much! Agreed, Kyle did amazing :)
I have seen hundreds of van layouts, too, and didn't think anyone could come up with a new one. This is definitely one of the best ideas. Nice materials and workmanship. It is none of my business, but I wonder why they sold it and how much it sold for. Also, bench seats are normally horrible to sit on, but these look a little better: maybe wider with better cushions. Great build!
OMG... this is one of the most beautiful and elegant van I've ever seen. Absolutely gorgeous..this is awesome ❤
"Seems like a beautiful shot... um, hey look, a paraglider..." 18:50 LOL, nice save, Kyle.
😂
I knew they had something to do with shaden when I saw their unconventional layout 😂 Loved it ❤
I can't believe how unbelievable your Van is. Amazing job
You all did an absolutely GREAT job on this van I like everything about it!!! 5 stars
18:10 haha A beautiful shot and they are both looking at something els than the paragliders, there not even in the shot 🙂Great video Kyle keep up the good work.
This is a fantastic build!! Love the style and layout. Kyle did an amazing job on his first Solo tour! Glad to see him as part of the team! ❤
Taking lots of mental notes. It’s gorgeous. They’ve made a small space look big, functional and beautiful!
By far my favorite van I have ever seen. This is what I've invasion since looking into van life.
Damn. You gotta steal their idea for your next van build "candysticks" Their shower, etc is sick. Their bed set-up I have seen elsewhere. Brandon Gross had it in his red ambo, but he had since sold it to a family in Idaho. Thanks for the tour.
I’m in love with this van. Would love to know the costs❤
Yes & the curious about shower ? Would the vanity get ruined by water ?? How does that fully work .. gorgeous & so smart !!
You pull the shower curtain to block the vanity from shower water.
Most beautiful van I have ever seen. Mind blowing job!!!
I watched tons of Camper van.. but this is the most beautiful layout ive seen.. really love the ambiance the colors.. and very functional..
Any chance you could add an awning?
Amazing first tour Kyle! Keep it up!
This is the nicest van I’ve seen. Beautiful and looks like it would be very livable.
One of the best, nicest, and most beautiful layouts I've ever seen. I want one!!!!
We will give you credits and just admit we've stolen the design when anyone ask where we came up with the idea. We got a local saying ''better stolen well than badly conceived''. It seems like you guys got everything right.
All designs are stolen in some capacity haha
Laveo sounds great until you do the math and realize it’s at least $1.50 per use. I’m also not about to just use pee powder and have guests or drive down the road without it being flushed. It would cost $9 per day if I was alone and a lot more with someone else around. Maybe if you’re a guy and only use it a couple of times a day it might not be bad, but I’m not a guy and really don’t want to shell out $200 or more per month for using something I own.
You have some points. But as someone that knows this industry I need to ask, have you tried or seen all other options? Realistically there are 4 options (compost, dry flush, cassette, incinerator). Out of the 4 I believe dry flush is the best option and I’ve used and seen all 4. The people using compost love it and that’s totally fine. But to your argument of spending money, I don’t want to spend cleaning a compost toilet. To rebuttal your comment on driving around with pee in there, using the gel makes it so there’s no smell and it doesn’t slosh around plus it’s very deep. I’m not putting down your opinion but if you want to argue a topic then also try and give a solution. For the ones that have lived full time I think a high majority have said dry flush is the best. Side note: incinerator is likely the best but for a van it takes too much power
@@JarrodTocciThe incinolet and similar tiolets need a dedicated 20 amp circuit, and it draws a lot of power. I agree with you the dry flush toilet is the way to go, unless you want a black water tank and the stinky slinky to drain everything.
I love the function of this build. Everything they did made sense!
This is well thought out. Very very nice. Thanks for letting us see your build
Love this design, very smart of using all the space.
