VAN TOUR | Luxury Modern Cozy Van for Full Time Living
Welcome to our new home! After a long eight months, we are super excited to finally be able to share how our new van has turned out!
After spending over 3 years in our last van and having built a few other vans since our first, we wanted to try something new and implement a few changes and upgrades that we’ve been dreaming up. With this new van we were able to put a lot of thought into the details to make the perfect space to fit our needs. We were also able to incorporate some things we’ve never really tried before. It’s always a learning process which keeps things exciting.
This build is on a 2022 Ram Promaster 3500 159WB Extended.

This is seriously one of the most amazing vans I’ve ever seen! The combo is function with design and style is incredible and I can’t get over the hidden skin care drawer!!!
Thank youuuu! That is definitely my (court) favorite part😊💕
It is behind a hot spot!
@@aurenitapedrazzi5036 Yes. That is what I noticed also. The oven will put out too much heat for the skin care and cause the ingredients to deteriorate.
@@christinescott5002 My other thought with it is that if you spill liquid on that countertop and it goes down the crack it'll be a nightmare to clean up! Still a very clever design feature, maybe they could just move the skincare out of the way when they use the oven?
Their van is so comfy!
Love the mint colors with the light wood color. What a beautiful build and couple with their adorable dog. Really well done!
Thank you so much :)
Same!!!
I think this is my favorite van layout yet! And I’ve watched a lot of videos. My favorite is how the bed collapses. I probably would leave it in the small config most the time as a solo traveler, but love the option to expand when traveling with someone
They actually wasted a lot of space with their layout. I would keep looking. I recommend Christian Schaffer’s layout.
Go check out eamon and bec’s van ! This one looks really cramped compared to them.
@@alliinwonder9675 Court and Nate’s build beats Christian’s showerless unit by a mile. Her toilet pulls out into the middle of the van, more closet space isn’t worth the trade off.
@@limes37138Christian came from the fashion world. Its a matter of personal preference. I would not be wanting to make down a bed every day i know i just wouldnt do it but i would like a good amount of storage space and i dont care if the toilet is in full view of me. I dont need to waste space and water showering every day either. This van has a beautiful bathroom but I would prefer to rough it a bit more just to gain ssome space. I have seen one solo female thought she wanted a shower but did not take long to start hanging clothes in her fixed bathroom. I'd be going solo possibly with a dog. Horses for coarses.
This is incredible! the craftsmanship and design you two have is just unmatched - amazing job!
Awesome
It’s so amazing how you’ve managed to fit a shower, a decent sized bed, a good amount of kitchen a space and a seating area without it getting too tight
sure but at the expense of storage - never understand why folks that live small / tiny have the largest dogs - feel cramped just thinking about three living in any van space little own this one - but hay you do you - love the pop up shelf unit but not all women are skincare addicts - would be great for spices though 🇨🇦🙏
@@ej3016 they have two vans i think . Plus they don’t just have a van hey have the outdoors and there dog has it’s own place
I am a professional interior designer who is extremely efficient in design and this is both absolutely stunning and so very functional. Amazing job you guys!! I'm currently building out my own van. I wish I had the talent and skill to do the actual work aside from the design. You guys are a perfect duo!! Thanks so much for sharing and for being responsible van-lifers. 💖
The talent and skill is within us all, we just have to be interested in it enough to discover and learn the necessary know-hows.
I admire your courage in downsizing the cabinetry. I highly recommend packing cubes for storing your clothes… The kind that you put into a suitcase. I use them in our trailer and I am able to stuff so many clothes into two drawers!
that’s a really good idea! roll the clothes and store in the bags!
Second packing cubes. Those things are amazing for travel of any kind to keep things organized and efficient. Easy to grab a category and go!
What I love about your home: - Beautiful and well-thought interior design. - white and green pastel give it such a cool and cozy vibe. - there is room dedicated for your dog. - the queen bed looks so comfortable ❤ - You guys have a bathroom inside 😮 - hose at the back 👏 - desk/ office station is brilliant. - overall a nice self sufficient lifestyle
This is the best van conversion I've ever seen. You guys did an awesome job! 👏🏼 giving us ideas for our build!
You are too kind! Thank you!
"the best?" 80% of shuttle bus videos on KZhead.... looks identical to this. even down to the "muted green color scheme" I know its a bad thing to encourage more youtube watching ... but this is an exception
@@cinnamonstar808 Completely agree. They wasted a lot of space with this build.
This is one of the best van builds I've seen! Plenty of space & storage but tucked away with a sleek look. Also, Tonkins is a little cutie pie 🐕❤️
Most "short bus" or shuttle bus conversion is like this. same layout even color scheme. get out more
@@cinnamonstar808 Huh....lol
@@cinnamonstar808 no shit.. it’s hard to be original after so many people do it but their setup is pretty nice and looks great. Plus they had no prior experience before their first van. There was no reason to be rude in the first place.
All of the van life video I have seen . You’re van is the most earthly, clean and relaxing . It’s the best . 😊
It’s a pretty cool van! I just got concerned about the skincare right behind the oven, getting cooked… but that pop up shelving is a great feature that can be used for whatever!
Same. Even with the computer fan, I'd have to have the skin care shelf up and away from the heat source. I bet she's thought of that though. I mean they're clearly detail oriented.
I love the fact you have a mirror at the front door, for those of you that know, what it stands for or I should say....without going into detail it keeps the bad energy away. Love the shade of green, clean and fresh 👌.
Colors and layout perfect. For me, more storage needed. It’s pretty near perfect! Thanks guys! Congrats!
Thanks so much!!
@@CourtandNate1 This is exactly what I am looking for!
Very nice! It's like a european appartment with the blond wood and white counters. It's very classy looking and I love the panic room for the fur baby.
Absolutely everything in this van conversion is beautiful and efficient. Bravo, great job. That pop up shelf was a kick. You guys are so cute. It’s not easy with 3 people (1 canine person) living in a van, many couples are eventually moving onto a tiny house build. But for now, lots of exciting touring lies ahead.
I always gauge these videos by considering whether I would like to live in it or not. Not only could I live in yours, I’d like to have one exactly the same, color scheme and all. Gorgeous! One of the best I have ever seen.
Wow! This is literally one of the best van builds I’ve ever seen. I love the clean, minimal design you put into it. That green is gorgeous! It seems so functional but aesthetic at the same time. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼
Seriously, that's the smartest design i've seen and i've watched oodles of van tours. Kudos to yall! Hopefully I can find someone to reproduce this!
So ridiculously well done! It's impressive that you were able to add special features like the shower and dog house without compromising much on space.
I am fascinated with van conversions and have seen many presented on KZhead but this conversion is The Best Uncluttered design style of them all!! So clean, neat, organized, fresh, modern, sleek, etc., etc., etc. Love the thought you two have in accommodating" your son" and the smart conveniences all built in like the sliding table top, back curtains, make-up elevator, doggie storage/seat, etc. Enjoy your van adventures!! Just a spectacular design!
This has got to be my favorite van build. It looks clean, easy on the eyes and doesn't give the feeling that it's lacking something. Love the bathroom, the sink, the cabinets, the color scheme, overall this is the homiest van I've ever seen.
Yeah, and if you were standing on the side near the bed and a fire started, it could be incredibly dangerous and difficult to escape. I hope they have a fire extinguisher.
This van is BEAUTIFUL and van goals!! Congratulations on the build we are so excited for you three!
I love it! It has everything!!! Storage ... shower, bathroom, lots of seating options, nice counter space, a place for my toiletries, the bed & more! Perfect! Love the colors too! Soothing to the eyes ...
I am totally in love with this van build. I love the green tiles the most and the light wood tones of the van! Makes it so much more open and inviting as well as minimalistic! I absolutely love it and I’ll probably steal some ideas if I ever do a future van build 😅
I’m in love with this layout, shower and sage cabinets. Love this!
Your van has everything you need to have it be liveable long term. Since you have previously lived in a van and know what worked and what you would like to have made your new build is so well designed. I love the induction burner and your other little oven that seems to do everything. I haven't seen a refrigerator like yours before. It is very spacious for a van. One thing I love the most is how simple and not cluttered your van is. You have thought of everything. The color is perfect in the shower, bye the way. Congratulations on your new build. Looks like your vision for what you wanted has come alive. Looking forward so seeing you on the road and let us know how it's working out. Your dog is beautiful and I'm so supposed how you managed to build a huge space for your dog. 10 out of 10 in my opinion.
This is an AWESOME van build! I am cringing at how little space you have for personal things though... I could never LOL
That would be my problem too LOL. Just could not do it. But I love everything else--so many brilliant little touches like the skincare cabinet, sliding window, skylight, toilet/shower and mostly the electrical/heating/water systems. The tech is top-notch, just what I'd want. But yeah...I'd need way more personal storage. Would have to find a way.
Suggestion: don't cook with the induction cooktop in the open drawer; it would force you to stay on whichever side of the drawer you're at when you start cooking. I think the curbside counter top has enough space for a built-in induction cooktop. Also if the door on the reefer is reversible, it seems that while cooking, the contents would be easier to access with hinges on the left. Also like the low profile toaster oven.
I think they can just pull it out to cook then put it away. Then they can have free counter space. It’s not like people cook all day so it’ll be a waste to have a built in cooktop
I absolutely love the layout and the pop of green throughout the van. It looks very airy, spacious and comfortable.
Love the sleek, modern look and colors! Looks airy and open. Good job guys, can't wait to see the move in video!
your space is so refreshing, its like having a mojito by the beach on a warm spring day..... you kids did a great job on it!
@Dr. Christopher Johnson SPAM! I have seen this same message all over the internet! STOP SPAMMING with YOUR FAKE ACCOUNT
Guys this build is amazing! Truly the perfect mix of style and functionality. Can't wait to see where you go in this one!
Wow, it's gorgeous and I absolutely LOVE the daybed/slide-out queen bed idea w/the seating and the area for your beautiful pup. Very well done!!
Wow! It’s beautiful!
Looks amazing! I love a good well-designed and visually appealing space, and you guys have done a great job maximizing this van to look great and fit your needs. Happy travels!
I LOVE this van!! Beautiful naturalistic boho look and feel. Awesome job guys
Such an awesome build! Love the colors and design. Token’s clubhouse is so cute!
Hands down the best small van build I've seen - you thought it out so well to fit your lifestyle. Love it.
This is really a masterpiece -- so open & comfortable -- everything so well laid out-- so slick & professional! Kudos. You guys are amazing!
LOVE! Best parts: Nice light interior I love the green too. Looks real clean / not cluttered.
I love your old van but this one is way better! It has everything needed in a house, bathroom toilet, kitchen, dining and bedroom/ area! And my fave is Tonkins’ space! You guys did it so well. Congratulations and thanks for sharing
Wow. You really thought of absolutely everything! I am amazed at the engineering and detail you’ve put into this. Most people don’t actually put this much thought into regular homes!
I LOVE how nicely this has been organized and the minimal, but homey, decor. Great job!
Turned out amazing!!!! Amazing craftsmanship Nate and amazing design. Courtney! You guys make an awesome team!
Wow that's wonderful! super happy to see how it turned out nice and cozy, very convenient with easy access, loving all the layouts and stuff.. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely brilliant! It looks so spacious! Perfect choices in materials!🙌
Really great, guys. Nicely done. I was thinking, at the end, the curtains didn't stay. There are strip magnets you could sew into the sides to help with that, just in a few key places, and even in the middle to keep them together, if that would work for you. I was recently looking into that for myself, then saw this, and had to suggest it for an easy fix. Congrats on your beautiful new home!
Love this! It feels so much more open with the retractable bed
Love this design, the colours are gorgeous and ticks a lot of my list in terms of bathroom, storage, seating and bed arrangements - love it. Enjoy your new home.
I was so excited for this van tour and you did not disappoint wow absolutely stunning you guys are amazing love love love all the details !!!!!
Thank you so so much for the kind words!
Can’t wait to see all the great content in this new van! You guys should really be proud of yourselves!
Great job Nate. You too Court and Tonkins, 🥰. I love it. Can't wait to see after you're all moved in. and 2 front seats, omgoodness. life is good.
Pretty - so Clean - Simple - Sleek. Love the neutral colors n light & airy feel. So well done on many levels!
wow. my favorite van model so far… love the key luxurious.. sink size, bath tile effect, lightness of colors. lovely congrats!!! very inspiring. thank you for sharing.
This is by far one of the prettiest vans I’ve seen! You two did a great job! The bathroom is awesome!
I love 💕 it it's open and clean especially the lil neutral colors
Simply amazing! I enjoyed watching all the unique add ones that make your van truly “a home”. Thanks for shaing
Very warm and cozy I absolutely love the warm colors and the mirror of the van 🥰 I really like the pop up shelf for your beauty products
Nice clean build. Impressed by their authenticity. My favorites, along with Tim & Katie.
Amazing! So practical and one of the best I seen till now! Congratulations!
I really like how you made the walls and cabinets pretty. I got a cheerful and relaxed feeling just looking at your van. Light and airy. Love the look of your bathroom. Great job. Definitely a minimalist van but really functional.
I am in love with this and aside from a bit of claustrophobia this is totally livable cute and compact!! Love it!!!!
I watch a lot of van built and this is the one I would go for. I love the neutral tones, the whites and the shower!! Beautiful 👌
The van conversion is absolutely amazing! It's very spacious. The choice of color and the interior is very creative. I really love it! ❤️
Love this video and all the ideas I’m storing for my own build. I would make a couple changes for my preference. Swap the location of the sink and shower. This would allow space to swivel the driver’s seat (if a little legroom was added). Add a sliding window over sink area in new location. Put a hinge on the tops of the storage at the foot of the swivel chairs. Thanks for consistently sharing your lives living in a van. Happy New Year! 🥳
Love this build! The shower inside! Tonkins area is fabulous! Your skincare area hideaway! Heated floors! Oh, it's all just so comfortable and welcoming! Happy trails to you both!
Oh my goodness - this is absolutely gorgeous - you should be so proud of what you have built. The layout and the colour scheme are just perfect. We are about to fitout a new Mercedes Sprinter MWB van - and we have spent literally hundreds of hours over the last 12 months watching KZhead videos trying to come up with the perfect layout - and now we have it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - we hope you don’t mind if we “steal” your layout and colour scheme (with a few tweaks to make it our own) 😊 Look forward to following your journey!
Stunning. LOVE your colour schemes... really beautiful and calming and bright, makes the space look so much bigger. Everything was well thought out
Love all of it!! So clean and beautiful! The craftsmanship is amazing
This is the best, well thought out van I’ve ever seen. It’s perfect
I love the special features of this van.
Absolutely loved your van build, layout, and overall design! Great job y’all. We’ll be transitioning from boatlife to vanlife in 2023 and are really excited to build our own van. Thanks for sharing your beautiful build with us 😊
I love the colours throughout this van, so soft and beautiful
I love how SERIOUSLY AESTHETIC this is!
Um dos melhores motorhome que já vi 🥰
Nice job guys. Like the green tile in your bathroom & your minimalism. Looks nice & clean for however long that’ll last. Happy living!
The amount of useful hidden features is incredible. Amazing design
Wooooow! The best van interior I have ever seen! Well done you two! Love it ✨
So many well thought out features in this van. You’ve created an amazing home. Safe travels.
Everything looks great and perfect! I think my favourite part is the whole bed area with the space for your dog and the skincare shelf. Love it!
Great work guys. Loved jt
This is my absolute favourite van conversion to date ❤ The only issue I foresee and/or I would have is the small amount of space for clothes storage. I love the dog area which I would want to replicate as we have a pooch too but as he always wants to be next to me I would possibly have to consider forsaking this for drawers as he sleeps on our bed anyway. Love love love it!
Honestly, one of the nicest van builds I’ve seen, and I’ve watched many, many van build videos. Congrats on a job well done. Happy travels and best wishes. 😀
So beautiful. No compromises .
Thanks for sharing. This is the best van conversion I have seen. Well done!
Very distinct and lots of creativity! Love the shower and vent, slide out tables, dog house, built in water filter, pull down controller wall inside cabinet, heated floor, movable storage bench. I just wonder about real life storage. Please keep us posted. Oh and I love the skin care pop up shelf. Great job!
This is one of the best builds I've ever seen! So impressed with many features including the color scheme.
This by far has to be my favorite van as of yet, definitely hit most of the things I've been looking for 😍
Absolutely THE BEST VAN EVER, Love it. Well done.
Wow such a great built! I love the pull out bed and beautiful design!
Very very nice, super-professional job! I really like the minimalist approach, enhances sensation of spaciousness. Shower/toilet space really well thought out and lovely decorative touches everywhere. May you have years of safe, reliable and comfortable travel/adventures!
The best one I’ve seen! You guys literally thought about everything
I've been watching Van Life videos for a while ,This one is by far the best.So livable .Love it ✅
Some really cool design ideas! I love the convertible bed/dinette
I like the layout of this van much better than most I've seen. More practical.
Holy crap this is a BEAUTIFUL van!!!! ❤🤯🥳 I absolutely love how you made it so clean and modern. I LOVE the layout!! Way to go! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The title is spot on! Such a lovely, simple, fresh space! So well done 💪🏾
I watched it three times taking notes as I watched. I’m planning to start a build later next spring and want mine to be this nice. Great job!
I love your design in your new van!!!❤️💞 it’s beautiful. The pop-up beauty care station is genius, love it!
