Beautiful van with lots of unique and functional features. We have the Trelino toilet as well, retrofitted into a commercially built Sprinter van. I’d love to understand how you plumbed the liquid into your gray system. We’ve thought about that but weren’t sure the best way to do that. Thanks!

You really have a lovely home in this van; it is all very practical and has great options. I could very much imagine myself living in this for a long time. Very comfortable to have the dinette, as well as the bathroom. It seems a bit narrow, but if you are smaller I am sure you can shower easily. What do you do for laundry and drying washed clothes? I loved the colors and the wood - looks very warm and cosy indeed!! Just two things I missed: books - or some sort of bookcase, bookbox or bookshelf. I could not do without my books. And I noticed you have very few little decorations, pictures or whatever on your walls. That could make it a little more personal. But that is surely a matter of taste (and space). Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed it. You did a marvellous job on your van! greetings, Jason

I have to question the location of that smoke detector. Smoke rises. That unit won't detect until the cabin is full of smoke. At that point the heat and smoke density near the roof may be near the point where it'll flash over.

Well-earned award, and that you really love it is all that really matters... and you do. For me, the microwave on the floor would not be my ideal, but I can totally see why you did it. Not many other options, and you still got it in. Superb job all around!!!

Good question and we understand your point of view! We tried to make the video appeal to the majority of our viewers and we do tend to get people who ask about storage. We are coffee drinkers and we are pretty proud of how we designed the appliance garage, as it's rare to see that convenience in a van. If we showed every nook and cranny, this video would have been 2 hours long. That said, we plan on making shorter videos that are focused on the individual areas, (like our dinette video) in the near future. Thanks again for your comments!
