Furniture Maker Builds Apartment On Wheels - Ingenious Van Life Bed & Couch Conversion

Alex & Jenni built this stunning DIY campervan to explore and enjoy life on the road. I love the dark interior and how seamless their design is. More recently, they started a business converting vans for the road. This was their first build with more to come. Check them out with the link below.

Wow love from pakistan ☝ please mention price

[@haroldgretzinger4678]

I love the coloration and the style of your van, thank you for making it very clean and organized when you started filming a lot of people don’t do that. Love the van nice job your dog is just too cute

[@Stephanie-lb6tt]

OMG...!!I am speechless, completely giddy! This is the best van I've seen yet!! Watching videos to get ideas.., you guys did a superb job!!!Thanks for sharing!!

[@patriciaking7892]

WOW 💥. An apartment on wheels👍. I love every thought out detail 💚. Enjoy your life and safe travels 👌.

[@suedefringe]

Yes !!! Hes talking about weight !!!! Definitely saving this video for future reference. I don't love everything but like alot.

[@darlene6670]

Stunning build! Your precision for your craftsmanship shows!

[@vovowe]

This is one of the most beautiful cans I have seen. The interior design is AWESOME!

[@plumbawl5977]

Best Feature : Alex's Trousers! OuTsTaNdInG Video and Generous Share, Jenni and Alex!

[@leahchaney8541]

Love this build! I’m designing my first build now very helpful your craftsmanship is impeccable. Thank you for the vids.

[@claudiano_jr]

This is the best ever bed solution. You always have a 2/3 bed done, and save a lot of space. I always imagined this solution, but never found in any van conversion.

[@hallscroft]

Check out Eamon & Bec's new van. It's exactly the same bed arrangement

[@donnadelahanty9903]

That divider wall is so awesome! I have seen others and yours are some of the better ones. I love the zippers. Very nice clean electrical set up. Love lithium - so worth the $$. Love your solar panels, too! Your dog is beautiful! Her build resembles my rescue pup Timmy - ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing your home with us.😊👌🏽

[@DutchAussieProductions]

Thanks for the video. That is one very neat van. The electrics are well protected and perfectly installed. Brilliant van.

[@markmuller3144]

Well done, perhaps the best van build I have seen and I have viewed a bunch of them. Makes me proud to be German myself, I see the pride in fine craftsmanship.

[@cherylbertini3214]

One if my favorite layouts! I’ve been wanting to see a van with larger area for seating and room for the garage area,! Great job!

[@KCnLex]

Fabulous workmanship, so great to see return to quality builds & attention to practical applications.

[@janeysiegrist5061]

This is a beautiful functional and well thought out build.. very impressed 👏

[@pjt3887]

I loved this buildout. Especially your dog. Looked ready to drive off in the driver's seat.

[@inesolujic2534]

Lived in Frankfurt for several years :) great city! Good job on the van build! Great, clean lines, so well organized and very modern and sleek color choices. I really like the heat shield above the cook top. Great touch and solves an issue that I had not thought about

[@californiagirl5702]

What an awesome well thought out van. You certainly have everything you need. Thanks for your explanation of the materials. You guys are so organized and your design is the best, especially the zippered blackout cover between the front and the back of the van. That toilet is amazing for a van and so is the refrigeration boxes. Love your channel

[@GiovannaAguilar]

The most practical real explanation. From heat shields to weight management. And that fridge!

[@taliasya2273]

Thanks so much for mentioning wheel base. When trying to gauge what I could get inside (wet bath) and yet still get it into a parking place, this is super important to me. Great plan!

[@marykoch1666]

Absolutely love this van! What a great job you have done.

[@ComradeStiv]

What a fine clever example of the possibilities in the hands of a brilliant craftsman. Such crazy clean workmanship. I'll never afford to build like this, but it sure is a pleasure to behold.

[@gailjohnson6670]

Beautiful workmanship and so organized..Thank you for the video..Have a blessed day..

[@kathleenreyes4345]

Great build!! I love the cabinets and everything looks so clean and organized!

[@sifo510]

The most organised Van I ever saw.. and I watched all the van life videos on KZbin keep up the Good job

[@paulwest876]

Loved the tour. And I'm a fellow woodworker so enjoyed both of your creativity and for sure thoughtful decisions

[@mistressofsouls11]

I really like the music in the video! Very stylish and fits the vibe and style of the van. And them too🤞

[@imemine7]

Glad to finally see a van builder talk about weight. I am astonished a the van builds on youtube and the weight of the buildouts I see.

[@calimojogirl6199]

Yeah, those were good tips about the lightness of the balsa wood and lithium batteries. Another tip I saw on another van build video was to use ceramic tile-looking decals in place of real ceramic tiles on the splash guard behind the cooking area.

[@inventor1v]

@imemime7 Your right, Some vans you see built with 2 x 4s for the bed slats!!!

[@fairysox221]

@@inventor1v Keep it light, an airbed and crap in a bush for the win !!!

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

You get what you deserve. When 99.99 % of comments are “this is the best build I have ever seen” there is no incentive to be real. I’ve decided when I hire employees I should look at their KZbin comments to see how high their standards are.

[@LifeBetweenTheDash]

Oh wow!!! Love the seating bed area. Super clean electrical work. Nice job

[@ElectricPictureCo]

Such a boss van build! Great sensibilities and oh so practical.

[@deborahdoesscrap]

Really beautiful job. Everything is well laid out and the craftsmanship is amazing. Congratulations on a great build.

[@kerrypetruzello]

Awesome build, very clean and thought of everything!!! 😊

[@kungmarkatta2000]

Really nice van build, one of the best i seen!

[@janesynnot7446]

This probably one of the best designs I have seen.

[@reginakniprode246]

I agree. I would still do things differently for myself. Fridge in a drawer? No. The toilet needs a curtain, no matter how much you love your partner, I don't need to watch them poop. But I think they only use it in an emergency. And do you need 5 big knives on a magnetic bar when camping? I'd rather put spices on there. All in all, a well thought-out and professionally executed solution.

[@AB-C1]

Genius organisation and power set up! Love the lightweight cabinets idea! Thanks from London England 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😎

[@lindajones8253]

Excellent build, nicely done and very organized.

[@vonholley]

The info you provided is priceless ty for sharing sending love to yall

[@alexmann8372]

Best build I’ve seen wow I love every single thing about this build down to materials and layout 🤧

[@davidazinger5639]

this guy can do it all; impressive van; keeping it light helps not just with gas mileage but even when van is not moving as you say for tires, shocks, etc. Very instructional.

[@memuzzi1]

Sweet! Love the van. Wishing you heaps of good times in it. Lovely dog.

[@jaclyncrain9107]

Thank you both, I really enjoy seeing fine craftsmanship, and your van is tops.

[@merium401]

Beautiful and so neat and organized!

[@tammyferguson2707]

Wow. I love your camper van. You have thought of everything.

[@eveningstar1]

clicked on this van build b/c title said he was a furniture maker. as soon as I heard he was German I knew I'd watch the whole thing b/c the quality and attention to detail would be exceptional. did not disappoint.

[@mwdca7810]

Superb design...most motorhome / camper interiors are suburbia circa 1975 --- this is light and thoughtful and efficient.

[@EpicGodEpicLife]

You guys are so organized! Beautiful!

[@angelahartman3272]

You win!! This is the absolute best van conversion I have ever seen. I really like how you were able to use black so much yet keep it feeling bright and airy. 🌚 The puppy was even amazing. Nicely done you guys!!

[@cliffferris6399]

Out of all the van life type rebuilds. This has got to be my favorite one.

[@ginajones4729]

Very Nice! Love the seating & bed conversion. BTW Stacey is BEAUTIFUL

[@dorryfrost3915]

What a beautiful van with a stunning interior. Just my style. 🖤

[@cattsmahal1005]

A van is not complete without fur balls. Very nice build! 🥰

[@averysmallcampervan]

Very nice build - and so nice to hear you talk about keeping the build light and keeping things from moving in case of sudden braking. I want to know more about balsa plywood... something to look into

[@tangwendeo]

i have done a lot of research on van living. this is THE BEST ENGINEERING design.

[@GimmeDaBacon]

Very dark with the black and etc etc I like it especially with all the shades to not let light in definitely my kinda place

[@toosexy12jmb]

Best explained and builded van, everything lite to minimize vehicle damage!😍😍💰

[@maureenjossick429]

Great build! I love the ideas with the light wood,and the sliders on the drawers,never seen that yet! The only thing,😅 the bed seems VERY close to the underneath of the cabinets? LOVE the projector/sound system! Very cozy!!! But still a great build! I like seeing what different ppl like in their builds!

[@gma729]

GERMAN ENGINEERING !! ANY WONDER IT'S PERFECT !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

One of the best if not the best build I’ve seen my favorite so far

[@tms4945]

❤️🏆 that is the sleekest setup I have seen yet. 😍 Beautiful

[@inventor1v]

Love the use of old sleeping bags for a cab divider, I think I'll use that idea myself! 👍

[@clemsonteach80]

I like the Atlanta touches: Shakey Knees tshirt and Dekalb Farmer's Market spices! Really good job on the van.

[@Andy_M986]

Very much like the inside of a yacht, very cool stylings.

This build is super clean. Really like it.

[@garymattox1495]

Very nice van set up. You guys did a awesome job.

[@chase43078]

Your van and your craftsmanship are very impressive. Great job!

[@delanimoon]

This van soothes all the anxiety and ocd stressors I got from other builds. ESPECIALLY THE BED! 🛌 Omg always seeing those thin plywood boards, or dining tables stressed me out. I literally let out a breath I didn’t know that I was holding, when he lifted up such a thick and firmly supported chair back. Thank you 🙏 sooo much. Your skills are great.

[@d.j.selfstar.7684]

Nice build. Have a great idea for a piece of furniture. Its something like a sorta recliner. Your skills will make this piece wanted by everyone world wide. There is no furniture like this. Together we can make it happen. Ready to make millions. Ty.

[@strangerspodcast]

Absolutely amazing. It's perfect. I'd love this honestly. I just can't use the bathroom or better yet eat in a van where someone else just took a #2. Not everyday. I can't.

[@MHarenArt]

LOVE the decor in this one. Sleek, smart.

One day I can afford this. Excellent ideal on the choice of wood and the couch 💡. I love the clean lines. I also love the sink with soap dispenser.

Excellent van and a more excellent video. Your German engineering and craftsmanship are definitely showing.

[@kristenpittman4601]

Beautiful work! I have a very basic build on a Promaster 1500 with a Wayfarer Vans kit. I love it, but yours is definitely more of a complete home. I am a truck driver in the states but a have my van in Hawaii where I vacation several times a year.

Nicely done, very orderly. Very nice cabinetry. Love the galley kitchen

This is beautiful. I like the curtain wall and will want something like that in my van. Than I can still have a swivel seat in the front. Excellent workmanship.

[@noa5641]

Pamela ive seen that curtain wall before but a better version of it. Trying to remember where I saw it. Not likely it was on living big in a tiny house but a similar channel, might be Nate Murphy. If I find it I will post the link for you.

[@pamelamolina5623]

Noa thank you noa

[@amyfmc1]

@@noa5641 I saw it too and I think it was on Nate Murphy.. Was it the one where the guy said he bought it from a home type store and just had it cut down to fit? The van had the double sized swivel passenger chair, the couch and then the bed and he had that adorable reddish dog that he called a cocker spaniel ( which I'm sure it was but to me it looked like a baby Irish setter lol).

wouldn't this just be something you could pull inspiration from the curtain between first class and coach cabins in an airplane from?
