Waiting for a camper van designed for a single person. Less seating, more storage, larger fridge and bath. I like the movable wall feature for the shower, allowing for a larger toilet area and shower rather than a wet bath using a shared footprint.

The most important thing in a camper van is the electrical layout so that you can upgrade or downgrade your power supply. A sockets USB connectors etc. then the second is the washroom everything else can be customizable, for example lounge setting versus cargo setting, Roof bed, Foldable tables portable refrigerator, portable cooking stove etc.

I feel like the RV companies are missing a huge market opportunity in class B campers. Other than the Revel, where are the GenX /Millennial camper vans? Something does not look like they pulled the cabinetry out of grandmas garage. A van with a gear garage that can hold real stuff like full size bikes, inflatable paddle boards, has an onboard air compressor, expandable battery capacity for boondocking, etc. Full size indoor showers waste so much space and they fill up the grey water in a hot minute., but I like the outdoor shower idea and an indoor flex shower for those times when it is not feasible to shower outdoors. My main layout necessity would be a large gear garage that can haul bikes and keep them inside when using the bed. Next would be an electrical setup that is sufficient to go for days without plugging in.

These are wonderful, however buyers should know their restrictions. All have small tanks, most less than 20 gallons. Which means your water use, showers, restroom use are limited to pretty much overnight camping only. Also, many are standard 2 AGM batteries and 1000 watt inverter. Meaning that you are camping wherever you can run an extension cord from, no running the heater, using the microwave, etc. And yes, I want one anyway. 🤣

I dig all these. For me, I want a bathroom to travel with me. Of course I want a kitchen or a way/place to store and prepare food. But the toilet and shower is the icing on the cake. The vans have it all! I love em! Thanks for the video! ❤️💜💚

Most important features include Both front seats swivel & use swivel table (ideally, converting to 2nd bed), indoor bathroom w/shower, skylight access to rooftop solar plus patio deck, freezer in fridge, hot water, bed padding, storage, awning. Ideally, galley window enables faucet access (if not full slide-out cook surface plus sink). I've seen camper vans that allow the entire galley unit (incl fridge) to swivel or roll onto outdoor shelf set up via locking castors ... brilliant!

I won’t even consider a van that closes off the back win- dows or has smaller windows! Oh no! Now that I am experiencing being colder I am interested in extra insulation and extra heating solutions! Perhaps even sectional panels to section off parts of the van to target areas to heat. And it may not be feasible but I really wonder if it’s possible to have a washer & dryer? Now that would be perfect!
