About this van:
Dietlind Schirmer (AKA Schirmer Shoots) built this self-build camper over the course of 6 months in cold, wintery England. She has done an incredible job with this van conversion and I would say it's one of the best I've seen. The shower wet-room is really cool with it's stone wall like finish and the way she has managed to fit a fixed double bed, permanent dining area, bathroom, kitchen and hidden storage for two surfboards is ingenious. Not to mention the massive underfloor storage and hidden secret compartment! A must watch for anyone thinking of converting a van!

This is the most impressive person I’ve seen on KZhead. Self sufficient, creative, talented, and adventurous. Must be living an incredible life.
and....a lot, a lot of hard work, too! Tall order, but she did it!
AND she’s not materialistic! Seems like a nice down to earth young lady 👍🏻🇨🇦
Wise ,kind,forward thinking ,greatful....Thinks what's truly important .I would buy anything this lady made & or sold ...Wow so refreshing....💞🙏😊
This is seriously one of the BEST vanbuilds I’ve ever seen...EVER
Agree it is at the top of van builds
I AAGEEE IF I EVEEERR SEE THIS COMMENT ON ANY OTHER VAN TOUR VIDEOS IM GUNNA COPY N PASTE THIS URL 😂🙉!!!
It is a good van build and my respects to the young lady but there are many good van builds been done each unique in various ways but I feel you are short sighted on saying this is the best. But it is not a competition and I respect each and every one I see for the unique vision that each has for their desired outcome and visual appeal of interior style, space and functionality; and maybe more important than all those is access for possible repairs should a fault occur in the future. This young lady has not come up short on any of those point.
Agreed.
So true
not only is this my fave build so far, she did it all herself, and that is amazing
What an amazing woman, I can see her being an CEO, governor, ship captain or anything she puts her mind to. Respect +++
@@TylerWitucki Imagine if she became a mother? I know thats Crazy But prob the most fulfilling.
@KZhead Censorship Bot Have you ever met a Woman? Its all fake,your hair aint that colour, your boobs arent that big, youre not that tall....
Pay attention. She admitted her “friend” did her electrical. Wish I had a “friend” to do half of my electrical
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath WATCH DIY WITH WILL PROWSE HE EXPLAINS ELECTRICAL
i have so much respect for people like her that just go out and do things. i'm a builder myself so i understand the time and effort it takes to make stuff from scratch. it was all her vision, her work, and it came out nice. she understands how it all works, costs, and how to maintain it. great work
I just lost my young son. We were in the process of converting a van together when he died suddenly. This is the first van build I have been able to watch since losing him. I really needed to hear your philosophy in this painful time. Thank you.
How are you coping? I can not even imagine losing my child..I am so deeply sorry for your loss and the pain you must be going thru. Sending you a huge hug, love & support.
May you eventually find peace at the edge of your sorrow.
Blessings and love during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss. Love to you.
I'm so sorry C.M. I'm sending you love, I hope you receive it.
She's a BOSS. Best van build ever. Such a strong, confident and thoughtful woman.
I agree, thoughtful, considerate, and obviously confident to build this with her hands!
I need to be friends with her
Your a simp. Doesn’t matter that she’s a woman she is just as capable as anyone else
@@billybobjoe4595 It's "you're", not "your". The irony. It hurts. lol
@@billybobjoe4595 And calling a woman a "simp" for no reason is rude. Just don't next time. Try to be civil.
Not only is your van incredibly well thought out and space efficient, but it's a pleasure listening to you explain everything. You pointing out the features of your electrical system, in sequence, is so helpful. You KNOW how your van works and you've obviously put a great amount of time into the build. You're a pleasure to watch! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
I agree with you! Also, her philosophy is refreshing 🦋
Nothing like a girl that gets her hands dirty and builds stuff, it looks great too! Congrats and hope you have a blast traveling in your self build home💪🤙
This one is like an actual house inside a van, it looks so good wth
Incredible job, there are some ideas and features here i haven't seen before in a build and they are impressive. I like the use of marine ideas to make the most of the space.
When I read the caption I was like "ha, clickbait". After watching I gotta agree, this is among the top 3 builds I have ever seen! Wow! Kudos Dietlind, you did an amazing Job!
I am overwhelmed! Thank you so much 🤗
Super
@@SCHIRMERSHOOTS looks great! howz the dieselheater? the chinese model is so much cheaper than the planars or eberspächers ^^
I had the same thought! Brilliant and loved the inspiration at the end ;)
@@SCHIRMERSHOOTS I love it, it's beautiful, keep it and just help other people with their conversion...⚘
I've always thought a lot of these van lifers would really benefit from taking experience from boat lifers and the way they manage storage compartments and their use of space amongst other things and it's super interesting how she did that with her build 👍👍
Amazing!! She thought of everything. Looks great, has needed features, seems safe and well built, top job!
i honestly think this is one of the best conversions I have ever seen it's extremely well thought out super practical you have done a fantastic job .
yeah i think working at sea and getting a feel for cabins of boats probably inspired her use of space. I love how things are slightly partitioned to give each part of the van cab a unique space
Yes this is the best I have ever seen so far
You can tell how excited she is and how the gears are turning in her head when she starts talking about her ideas for the 4x4 :)
Just watched this 4 the 3rd time, after watching many, MANY van tours, this is still my fav hands down!! Not a fan of the same old build!! GREAT job girl!!!
I’ve seen a lot of Van builds and this is by far one of my favorites! Amazingly thought out, and very, very well done! 👍
Never seen a van like this the build absolutely perfect
I have to tell: this is the most best way to store stuff and use the space. This girl is brilliant. :)
What an inspirational woman! This one is definitely going straight in my top van conversion list!! Thanks for sharing Nate, keep doing what you're doing! 🤘🙂
I love the floor storage space! What an amazing idea. The whole van looks really cozy. Amazing work.
The more i watch van tour videos, the more confuse i get as to pick which is the best.. But i love all of them...
Just do it knowing it will not be perfect. .
I´m in the middle of the build, and i should stop watching youtube, so confused what is the best way to build.
One if the best vans I have ever seen!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
That's beautiful 😍 you've done such a great job making this van look elegant and functional!! Very impressive, especially for your first try! I can tell you put a lot of love into this build!!! 🥰
Wow, this van is fantastic! The floor storage is amazing! Just beautiful!
Beautiful! Love the shower; the finish; everything actually..
This is definitely one of the best van builds I’ve ever seen, and that says a lot coming from a person who was seen every single van build and van tour video on youtube ...
Absolutely LOVE this van build. One of my favorites and inspiring ❤ Can't wait to see the 4x4!!
Ooh those handles on the little hideaway hatches are super genius!! I love that so much! I’m huge on things sitting flush so hiding the handle is a huge yess for me
“The Joy is in the Journey “ 💖 that!!! So true.
Everything is amazing, but the rope for the finishing touches is such a great idea! So simple, economic and stress free when building. I love that idea!
You've put a tremendous amount of thought into it. It reminds me of aircraft design. Everything has a purpose. Well done!
Yes! I have been watching boat builds because that was my original dream and am so glad to finally see someone incorporating boat house ideas in a van!!
One of the best selfbuilds I have ever seen. So impressed. Well done!
This is just the most perfect home! I have been looking for a long time..... GREAT JOB Thanks for sharing 😌
I am overwhelmed. This is the most stylish and comfortable van I have ever seen. Indeed the very BEST. With solar panels, magnetic glasses, the shower is great, just like in a house. The colors and style are top and also that it doesn't seem chaotic and improvised at all by shelves and the boxes on it. You are a true multi-talent. My respect, lady 🎩👏🏻.
This is the conversion I want to do some day soon. It's just perfect. Well done. I'm sooooo impressed by your work. And a free philosophy lesson on top of it all. What more can you want? Loved it.
Incredible job, there are some ideas and features here i haven't seen before in a build and they are impressive. I like the use of marine ideas to make the most of the space.
Gorgeous van! I love the way she utilized all her space. The shower is very nice.
I love the storage in the floor. I've been watching these van life videos and this is the first time I've seen that. great idea!
Very nice build, it's beautiful! Her outlook about her van build and life is so positive. I don't think I could let such a beautiful build go? For her to do all of this work by herself with minor help is mind blowing.
i would love to own this van, the whole layout is perfect
She is selling it! Make her a bid.
I would like to bid on this van
She's in Europe and 100 millionnpounds

Badaboom 88 that’s $5000 right?! Sorry u had a lot of zeros
One of the finest van builds I've seen. And I love the way she's decorated her van. Really made it her own.
It’s like a little piece of heaven. It’s great that you know where everything was fitted. You can’t beat knowing where all your pipes and wires are. It’s incredible.
This is such a beautiful van. Everything looks great interior. One of the best I've seen so far. Great job!
Best van build ive seen in a long time, what a great level of detail Vs practicality! A fantastic layout! 👍🏻
Probably One of THE best camper vans I've seen. Beautiful!
I love the home feel of this van,how you built such a beautiful van with little experience is impressive
A very important message in the end. Loved it. This lady has a spark in her. Thank you
Makes me want to quit my job and just drive off in a van for good! Excellent job 👍👍
I really appreciate her life's philosophy and approach to her van. Great build!
she’s so right, i’m proud of you for your hard work and being okay with giving it up . very inspiring. i know i’ll give mine up sometime too but i’m still gonna give it my all. really f*cling nice layout design!!!
This van conversion is one of the best I've seen. I really appreciate how the spaces are separated so you have the feel of different areas for different uses. Very tasteful. Well done! I love seeing powerful, strong and confident women.
I seen your video in where you talked of selling your van for the 1st time. your additude on life was spot on! thank you! I wish you and yours all the best in life. Keep on being the best you you can be. your vids are great thank you!
That shower is fantastic!! I love how basic yet beautiful the shower/bathroom looks! This seems like the most practical bathroom I've seen in van build videos, LOVE the whole van!💗💗💗
This is by far the MOST beautiful van conversion I have seen... and I have seen many! Well done girl.
I like how she truly planned out this build from start to finish. very simple and elegant. it feels like home just watching the video
so impressed that this lady did this all herself you go girl
Omg this has got to be the most beautiful van I’ve ever seen, I want to sell up and move in it like NOW!!! 😱😍😍😍
So this is the first van I’ve seen with everything on my checklist. I’m also heavily inspired by sailboats and ships and wanted floor storage and you’ve shown a realistic way to do it! Thank you for all the tips!
Listening to her talk at the end was very honest and eye opening. She has a great view on life
She’s brilliant, creative, and adventurous! Amazing! ✨✨✨
Wow, your message at the end really inspired me. I really enjoyed watching your video. You are an amazing person ❤ I will be looking forward to watching your channel.
Your shower is absolutely perfect!!! This is by far one of my favorite can builds!!! You did a phenomenal job!!! ❤️ wishing you safe travels on all your journeys!!!
Not only do I love how well thought out the van build is, but I think she is a wonderful human!!
Amazing build. You have the right outlook on life, keep growing. 🙏💕🙌🏼
WOW! you truly deserve to be proud of your outstanding build. Beautiful colors & those final details. I really appreciated your comments about how the electronics worked in the garage and the products you used for the bathroom. Very well videoed too. Especially when you added the torch light to explain the items under your bigger seat. Alot of videos don't do that and it makes it difficult to see what they're talking about. Again we'll done and may you have many safe & happy journeys ahead. From New Zealand 🍃
The under floor storage is by far the best idea i have seen . Well done .
Beautiful! Wow! Such a well thought out amazing build - dreaming of the rain 🌧 on the roof 😀
Love, love, love your van! Such a great finish on everything!! Enjoy!!
I super love it! It's really inpires me to work hard and build something like this in the future. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely the best van conversion I have ever seen. I like that it has separate “rooms”.
She's all positive as for everything...I'm speechless! Your home says it all about you! Love your lay out and design on this one! :)
i really feel the the curved window frames, also took me an entire week lol
Very well thought out van build I have look at many van build designs, first it’s the smooth dynamics shape of this van raised roof it is just completely different beautiful inside and out,,
WOW! Life is such an amazing adventure. You are such an inspiring person. Thank you for this...
I have been watching van builds lately and this is the most awesome build I have seen
I love this young lady. A person of excellance in everything she does.
It takes a South African woman to build something this awesome! Beautiful van.
Haha a real life Bokkie 😅🤙🏼
@@SCHIRMERSHOOTS I can't offer one hundred billion pounds but I would really appreciate something as unique as this van. Enjoy every minute of your journey! You're awesome!
Lol she did, check her channel.
The only thing she didn’t do is the electrics which she said, she’s qualified to be a first officer on a yacht, she knows how to convert a van.
@eQuariuz if she was a guy would you call BS on her building her own van. Doubt it!!! She documents the entire build on her KZhead channel. Don't be a doos!
This is a really awesome build out and floor plan. If I ever decided to do van life I’d want one just like this. Great job!!!!!
Wise beyond her years!! Such a beautiful spirit!! We should all take her advise to heart and “enjoy the journey!”🤗👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
One of the best conversion we've seen so far 😀 Best regards 😀
This is the best Van I ever see! excellent design!
I love the way you think. We need more people like you in the world. And your van is beautiful.
This is a beautiful build. Well thought out and beautifully designed. The decor is so creative and so unique. The decor is also aesthetic pleasing. The kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, WOW!!!! I love it all.
Absolutely STUNNING!❤️❤️❤️
I love this van build!!!! It’s beautiful and homey. One of my favorites. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤️ My husband and I are currently converting our van and moving in on May 1st! Wish us luck. 🥰
I love that you and your husband decided to go on this unique journey and adventure. How was your experience? Thanks for sharing.
Love the van but even more impressive is your philosophy and outlook on things. Just amazing, so much wisdom. Great content, thank you.
I agree with her. I'm saving this video for future references. You Go Girl !
Beautiful Van! Beautiful person! Thank you for sharing❤
This van is amazing. My favourite piece of detail is using the rope to finish off the edges.
What an amazing job you have done with such a small space. Go you! It is beautiful! The words at the end of the video are absolutely true. Best wishes.
Well said lady. I live your outlook of life. I sincerely hope you find the people and places that will give you wonderful experience that you value on your journey.
Your home is everything. It's welcoming and so cozy.
THANKS EVERYONE
Absolutely brilliant work and if you ever give up travelling the world, you could start a van conversion business with your ideas, skills and knowledge. A true inspiration to others.
Wow! You’re amazing. The detail and thought you put into that van is incredible. I would hire you to do my van if I ever did one. Cheers to you! You’re so talented
This was really fun to watch. Really put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on putting our best into what we do!
My Grandfather taugh me as a small child, "Put your whole heart into everything you do. And it ceases to be work." "It becomes a Life Experience. Which will always go with you."
...'taught me'...?
@@BioStuff415 thanks Mom..
It makes me feel at home..calm and relax Impressive and a Lovely camper
Love your colours, white washed wood walls and what you did to make your shower. Love your bed area with the side walls in front with the curtains makes it really cozy.
I am amazed how much thought and practicality went into this build. I am jealous. I would love to copy this one if I ever build one. I love the floor storage and having a good bathroom.
