VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Jess and Shawn decided to leave Orange County and follow their passion for travel and climbing. The unexpected freedom was quickly felt, as well as the strong community in the world of tiny homes on wheels.
Their self-converted van is primarily made from beautiful reclaimed wood from an old fence. The kitchen was thoughtfully designed with a countertop that covers the three-burner stove top and a faucet that can swivel over the sink and the stove! They installed a full bathroom with a DIY toilet and stand-up shower.
A Murphy bed drops down over the dining area, and Jess has a massive closet for clothes and jewelry! These two highly suggest significant planning if you’re looking into a conversion build, and their planning shows in this functional build!

LOVE THAT YOU HAVE A LARGER CLOSET & THAT THERE'S AMPLE STORAGE IN THE BATH. IT IS SO CUTE TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU 2 LOVE EACHOTHER, WITH YOUR INTERTWINED HANDS. BLESSINGS!

[@cruxandbeta]

Oh I’m so glad you picked up on that. Almost 7 years together and almost 3 of those in this van. Still in love 🥰

[@stevegordon5243]

This is the best van floor plan I've seen to date. Very well thought out to maximize the space. Great job!

[@cruxandbeta]

🙌🏼 that makes us happy to hear-thanks so much

[@planat96]

I love your ideas. Borrowing some (netting above in cabinets). so sick. thanks for sharing.

[@lisacampbell7954]

When you’re in the Los Angeles area could use your help completing an F-350!!!! thanx Lisa C.

[@gryffyleelee]

I love all the personal details. The grandfather's map is such a nice touch.

[@cruxandbeta]

🥰 yessss I had a hard time letting go of sentimental things. I used this map to see it every day (it has pencil markings from him too on it) and then saved a suitcase full for us both that is stored at one of our parents houses

[@HopeU2Rwell]

Well thought out, smart use of space. Hope you two are still both together, healthy and happy. Make your own channel.

[@coppertopjohnson9782]

It seemed to be a very well-thought-out van build. Wishing Jess, Shawn, and their four-legged family a wonderful adventure. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your lives. ❤

[@cruxandbeta]

It was!! Tons of planning. Thanks kindly!! ❤

[@stevengatewood2725]

Awesome build. Safe travels. If you ever get to Milwaukee, WI., look me up. We could get a drink, And I could show you my town.

[@hazelem1266]

Love the raw edge bench tops.

[@cruxandbeta]

Yessss that was a 6ft slab of blue pine we found at a lumber yard

[@nancylavergne6611]

Like the way van is built

[@dross24MA]

So many great ideas! I do wish they had spent a little more footage of the Murphy Bed. After re-running the video, I finally figured out that the big tan bolster on the left at 7:04 was the "filler" for their head/pillow section (which could be seen around 8:10 when she pulled down the movie screen) - neat!

[@cruxandbeta]

Agreed-it wasn’t shown enough. We have a video on our channel showing putting it up and down though!

[@dross24MA]

@@cruxandbeta Went to look -- enjoyed the run thru of build/rebuilds & will be going back to watch all but for now,and not to be a pest, do you happen to know which video that was? LOL?!

My Most Favorite build!! I too want a bathroom and a CLOSET!! Great job😍

[@cruxandbeta]

Yessss then you should have them both! 🧚🏻‍♀️

[@milliewidener2078]

Very thought out plan. I think that closing off the front and Murphy bed is an absolute no-brainer. So smart.

Thank you!! 🙌🏼

Yay!! You should have it all too then.

[@heartlesssol]

Probably one of my favorite van videos !! I’ve seen so many and this one by far has inspired me so much in so many ways, the organization, the space for the pets, the amount of room for the bed and projector it’s just beautiful thank you guys for sharing your home ❤ happy safe traveling 😊

[@cruxandbeta]

Love hearing that! We really hope to inspire others and also help with their builds if they need us. Find us on Instagram! 🙌🏼

WOW!I had to sign in. Every time I was going to move on to a new vid, you showed another unique aspect of the design of your home. I had to stay on the video because I expected at some time you were going to show a space where you kept your car!! LO! Great job, nice design...!

So we’ll done love the bathroom set up

[@cruxandbeta]

Thanks!! We had an idea to cover the shower since we didn’t like how it looked in other builds so out in the open and it worked out!

[@straightarrow372]

I love the big closet -- tho it wouldn't fit full length dresses & coats, that I would need

[@cruxandbeta]

I end up rolling up anything long and keep in the bottom section 👍🏼

So many good ideas

Great job on your van, very nice!

[@cruxandbeta]

Thx!!

[@mmariemarkel7482]

Adore your build and how well it was thought out. I'm totally swooning over all your barn wood and other reclaimed wood. It is REALLY awesome and artistic. I also love how you oriented the sink so you can fill your pans. I don't think I have ever seen anyone do that intentionally in all the thousands of tiny homes videos I've watched (On or off wheels). I seriously would be living and loving that lifestyle, if I weren't stuck in a hospital bed nearly 24/7, 365, since 2016 when I had a serious head injury from passing out. I don't recall how long I was in a coma then semi-coma. But it made me forget how to walk. No pity parties here, I've been working my way back to hopefully walking again, or at least being able to take complete care of myself, cause I've seen some totally rad tiny homes for paraplegics. Until then it's PT and OT daily, mostly on my own since insurance only covers way too little IMHO. I guess I relate so well to your rock climbing adventures, cause I've been doing a ton of climbing myself, some just small pebbles, to hills and mountains, cause the Dr.s told my family I most likely would remain in a coma/semi-coma when they had to put me in an acute care skilled nursing home, after my hospital stay. Ha!! They (the docs) sure as hell didn't know how wrong they were or who they dealing with. I won't give up, no matter how long it takes to reach MY definition of max medical improvement. LoL!!! I'm headed over to subscribe @ your KZbin site cause I don't have any of your other soc media sites. Thanks for sharing your creativity, your lifestyle and wonderful home. You've been an inspiration regarding your build and what comes from great planning.

[@cruxandbeta]

Ohh my! I am just now reading this comment-that’s a lot! I had no idea. Thanks for sharing all of that and I really want to hear from you again that you’re able to move those legs or at least get a really cool chair. I’ve seen another van girl in a wheel chair. It’s possible! Get out there and explore and then tell us about it! 🙌🏼

[@louisetrujillo5192]

I would pay for your blueprint!!

[@keepthepeacesharethelove7022]

A murphy bed is a good place saving idea. But: to avoid mold you have to wait one until two hours to let dry the bed.

[@TinyHomeTours]

More and more builds are utilizing the murphy bed! It really does utilize the space well.

[@tudorwynphillips6458]

Fabulous

@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath- What I said, I love the way they designed the interior of their van. It is beautifully designed decor with the wooden doors to the cab and bathroom and functionally beautifully designed, the van has everything you absolutely need or could possibly want! Extremely well designed...

Will you come to Australia and build my van out please ? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼☺️🤍

[@bevfrench3496]

how many things do you have to take out of the bathroom each time you shower? toilet paper and ?????

[@cruxandbeta]

It may pretty quick! We have the toilet with handles we lift up and out, litter box, two tension closet rods that hold the towels and toilet paper and a decorative basket-sounds like a lot but it’s quick. And we love spaces with multi-use so when you’re not showering it’s doubling as a restroom and storage space

[@mariestrella.orquideasartecamp]

Wauuu espectacular 👍

[@cruxandbeta]

Thank you! 🎉

[@iharis001]

very nice :) ..how much does the van weigh after the build?

is the van LWB?

[@TinyHomeTours]

Hmm, good question! I don't think it's mentioned in the tour, but you can always reach out to Shawn & Jess via Instagram at: instagram.com/cruxandbeta/

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

I’m confused you said Sean fits perfectly side to side so you went with a Murphy bed and then he show a Murphy bed that is not side to side

[@cruxandbeta]

Yep-it’s side to side (left to right, or driver side to passenger side…) the large bench is part of the bed (either the top or the bottom) depending on if we’re leaning a certain direction. Does that make more sense? The other bed orientation people build would be front to back because they’re taller and can’t fit the way we have it.
