I just bought 5 10' x 6' cardboard sections from a manufacturer. We got them in my new-to-me 2018 Ford Transit 250 medium roof and soon will start mocking up to start my KZbin van0build series. It will include a potty with shower setup, kitchen and living space with two sofas that turn into a spare bed for us. We will continue to tow our Runaway Camper 6x8 fiberglass RangeRunner as our very comfy bedroom. I hope to be done by February - no plumbing that needs to be winterized and power based around EcoFlow Delta 1300's that run anything and also can switch over to shore power. I am getting great ideas from you - thanks so much. Retired elementary music teacher - not interested in going full time at all - we love camping trips AND our home of over 30 years! : )

So many questions ... Where will the front seat's foot rest be if that toilet has to come out? And won't that side rail on the left side of the toilet slide become a trip hazard when the person gets up? And where are you getting your large cardboard sheets? (It doesn't look like you are cutting up refrigerator boxes.) I think you could definitely turn that bed panel into a book display or a place to put art/photos, which would add color and they could switch things out for variety. As usual, a wonderful video that gets my brain going ...

Love the progress update. Some constructive feedback. Sprinter build; Look at stair storage in tiny houses. Maybe a sliding staircase using that awesome linear actuator setup from the promaster. Could act as support also. Access to storage from galley when slid forward. Stepped could add visual interest and ease of access to that seat when table is in place. Promaster build; how will toilet slide work with false floor/ foot support? Folds in center whe toilet slides out automatically? Manually fold up towards shower wall or seat? If permanent it seems it would disallow slide actuation. Wish I could be your apprentice for a while. Your cardboard mockups remind me of my 3D design class at RISD where main project was to make a folding, transportable desk and chair out of cardboard that would have to support your weight through entire 6hr critique class at end of semester. Can't wait for the next video!

You could make one big shallow recess, use magnets on a frame with inset glass or plexiglass to hold in a picture, then that way you could have a picture mural that can be changed at-will easily that wont be easily damaged and could just be wiped down for cleaning.

I thought jacked dude in the front was your son 7:39. I like your ideas. My plan is to have a rotating front seat with a lagun table and a screen that's mounted to the wall. But I wanted to utilize the legroom somehow. And I also wanted to save the space above the toilet (without having to slide the toilet to the middle of the van), and my main goal was to not lose the shower space when not showering. I'm designing my tiny van on CAD. Will make it by the end of 2021.

I wish I had seen your Cardboard prototype idea before we started our conversion, I still may use your swing out cupboard from shower area idea, such a great use of space.

I am intrigued by your toilet shower design! The one thing I do not like about contemporary conversion RV vans and campers is the huge amount of available space the toilet and shower take up. An otherwise an inviting open, roomy interior suddenly becomes a cramped and gloomy space once you add the bulkheads for the toilet and shower. I like your concept. It will be interesting to see how it evolves.

Neat video, thank you. Two questions: 1) Would the aluminum angle support for the toilet drawer catch on your left foot when leaving from the sitting position? 2) What about installing struts that would support the lifting of a non folding mattress, up and out of the way, when you want to sit at the rear table? Kind of like a vehicle engine hood. Would there be enough head clearance for this to work? Anyway, I really like your origami style interiors, very creative, getting so much function out of limited space.

The angle support is right on the toilet, so it's not likely to catch a foot. If so, I think you have a bigger problem... 😁 Angle the mattress upwards like a car hood? I haven't seen that in the Plaza, nor the Waldoff...

I hope once you have all the templates figured out for each van, you can produce them faster and start on mine! You could have 2-3 template sets that can be mixed and matched for the Dodge Sprinter and another few template sets for the Mercedes Sprinter. I was thinking of how the US Navy is having the new Ford-Class Carriers built. Interchangeable mods. You have the best "van build" KZbin channel on the planet!

If you want the Plaza, you may want to use the toilet while it is IN the shower pan area and when you want a shower, push it out just as you have designed. I'm not sure how you deal with the panel in front of the toilet but you're clever enough to find a solution to that !

You make some very nice (and helpful) vids regarding these van builds. I have a 1974 Airstream that I will likely start remodeling in earnest next year. I have found them very helpful and oft times more than a little inspirational toward that goal. Your videos benefit greatly from your professional photography experience. If you will forgive me I will suggest that that could be the source of plenty of really good content (as some of us have this dream of making interesting and informative you tube content when we can get loose from the yoke!). This viewer believes that you might very well have something to teach about building GOOD "How Too" videos. I have looked for these several times and the creator never seems to hit the right note on the artistry or the technical facets of this very interesting craft. Watching your videos one gets a sense that you have the right blend of artist and technician to be great teacher of this subject. What say? I'll be watching you!

#2 I would consider having the toilet sit in a garage door cabinet, like a tambour. Open the garage door, pull out the toilet. That way the occupant doesn't need to worry about clearing their leg/groin around the top edge of the cabinet door.

@Eric @Humble Road - I really want to see someone build vertical tambour doors in a van, whether out of wood, or aluminum. I want a door like this to separate my driver area from the back of my shuttle bus.

I am new subscriber and binge watching your channel! You should have way more subscribers. I am in awe of your creative process as you are shifting your ideas around. I am dating myself, you remind me of wood shop teachers back in high school, but at a master level of course! True craftsmanship! “Say the wrong thing and they’re gonna cancel you!🤣” 👍
