NEW Van Layout - Murphy Bed, Shower, Toilet, Made to Host and Cook

[@TheRoadprincess]

Van life is already out-of-the-box. This creator is beyond out-of-the-box. Keon, you are brilliant, and you make it seem so easy. $85,000. is not enough money for this. Wish I could !

[@richdefazio2497]

The kitchen angles are very dimensional. Blended with the lounge area, doesn’t seem like you’re in a van. Really great build, bravo man. You’re one of those cats that never runs out of ideas

[@loriesoliwoda-truong]

Agreed! Amazing design! I love the use of space!

[@Temarama7]

Great build what is the PRICE?

[@solymiller659]

@@Temarama7 he said 85,000 in the vid

[@valynteena]

I have watched a lot of van builds but this is by far my best design. I have always loved murphy beds as opposed to sofa conversions or the permanent ones that usually seem a bit too high to climb into and tight. The kitchen here feels like heaven. So much space for work and move around. In fact, this is a studio apartment on wheels. Thank you so much for sharing. Love this ❤

[@rick5653]

I like how he said about the magic of the bed…We can only hope so! Grape van, though😊

[@sandrastevens2793]

I want to be able. To get to cab and out the back. I think with some tweeks this could be changed a little and still have these things!

[@valynteena]

@@sandrastevens2793 there is a small space for that in the build. It was mentioned

[@willardcormier7727]

I just needed to see shower demo, (shouldn't be too many adjustments

I liked his other build better

[@snowmcsnow4732]

Guy is so chill and cool, much success to him and his endeavours!

[@JT_801]

I didn't think I'd like the couch in the front, but honestly, I'm sold because of the door. it would be great for tailgating. Great build

[@leonarddavis8732]

Agree

[@shawnnakaminski2104]

What a fantastic build. He created a kitchen in a van that most wish they had at home. I can’t wait to see what his mind churns out next.

[@source5729]

@John Q. Bebtelovimab Yaaaaasssss!

[@zer0nix]

@Bebtelovimab there are mini dishwashers that sit on the counter for tiny homes and apartments. Not great if you're cooking for 3 or more but for 1 or 2 people it is fine.

[@kellinomnom]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this build. I actually applauded in my living room. Good job! I just messaged him. I'm handicapped so I can't climb into the beds in a usual van config and my loves are cooking and travel. Perfect build for me. 😃🥰

[@leggy1957]

We think alike! When I sell my house, I’m ready! Hope to see you out there!😊😘🙏

[@NoShitSherlock.]

🤘🤘🤘

[@TheRoadprincess]

Me, too!

[@tammybowler]

I love the murphy bed, it keeps people from sitting where your head lays. Also the bed at the front would make me feel safer, with the cab right there. Plus the fact you don't have to worry about rain coming in the the back onto your bed. The Shower is a great idea for placement This is one of those ideas I have had.

[@cindytaylor7269]

I can see that the water system is in the cabinet corner dead space on the driver's side, but does anyone know where he has the electrical since the other corner is open storage?

[@BeeAnythingBeeKind]

The couch and Murphy is for me, however, the shower in between cloth couch is a potential concern. Maybe better to have shower in front of drawer or where toilet is? I would be interested in a new and improved or this if proved no problem with shower/couch and also more garage from back?

[@Dualex_Builds]

I really like that Keon just wants to be different, but won’t skip out on being functional

[@JarrodTocci]

Thanks for watching man! Always love your work and videos

[@TermanusMagg]

Definitely top 3 best layouts I’ve ever seen. Came up with ideas I’ve never seen and he was honestly checking all the boxes especially with the shower set up 😂

[@2gnospam]

You could add a trailer hitch mount with 2-3 bar stool mounts so people can sit at you cooktop height and have a drink.

[@JarrodTocci]

Cool idea!

[@WandafulWrldWide]

Fantastic van build! I was thinking the same in terms of two bar stools. There are those with collapsible fold down seats that would slide into a tight storage space within the van. I love how minimal and clean the van looks too! The greenery might catch dust and grease from cooking, but it’s esthetically pleasing.

[@elisehug9283]

Great idea - I was just thinking of a wider exterior fold down table, but the stools on the trailer hitch mount would be extra. You could also design stools (with foot pegs) that swivel out from the back of the cabinets, or come up out of a bracket and store in the one-wheel garage.

[@pansypuss6831]

Keon, your van is spectacular! So much fun in a short-ish van! Would love to see what is involved in setting up the shower though. As a female, the only thing that's missing for me is a hanging closet, but on the other hand, you have the best kitchen I have ever seen in a van, no matter what the size! Great job! If you were in the UK, I'd be more than interested in your van!

[@vivien408]

I was going to say the same thing

[@ihogenhuis960]

Ditto!

[@tawannarenee105]

Same here. Beautiful layout, best I've seen thus far, how does the shower set up and the toilet do I need to take it out of the bench? I'd like to have mine build out as I'd prefer different finishes than what you have done..and add air fryer oven and am willing to pay for the plans for this build as well.

[@maureenblutekraus3561]

I love the rear kitchen

[@qidongxu7339]

After watching hundreds of RV videos, finally saw one with totally different layout. I like it.

[@ginabrytowski3564]

I absolutely love when people get this creative with build layouts! Absolutely blown away!

[@deedieducati2272]

Love the shower under the corner sofa cushion & the cassette toilet under the bench across from it. My complaints were always "where's the toilet?" and "I want access to & from the cab" for emergencies. THIS is PERFECT! I love it!

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

What a fun dialogue. Two friends cutting up and touring great build. Can’t wait to see #3. The grass as a backsplash is great looking but I want my backsplash clean. Fun fun fun thanks

[@Lorelly5]

I love how he put the couch / Murphy bed by side door always thought it was the layout for me -great hidden shower concept saves so much space & - the u- shaped kitchen is uniquely genius for those who love to have some prep space and enjoy the cooking process -great story Jarrod 🎉😊❤

[@Nicole215]

*I absolutely love the U-shaped kitchen! I like to cook new recipes, so this is my kind of build. I also like the full size bed that's neatly tucked away when it's not in use! ❤ LOVE IT!*

[@anaherathomas5778]

Bro! Such an interesting idea! Love that kitchen... A Lagun table in the corner of the sofa section would make it complete. All round great build, well done Keon.

[@zer0nix]

I love the layout but I have a few issues with it: The shower pan needs to be dry or else the cushions, etc could take on moisture and develop mold. I'd apply some forced air sucking moisture out of the shower pan area, just like for a composting toilet, so that the pan can be bone dry even if you use it every day. If the cushions and bed are marine grade that should make them more resistant but I still don't want to risk it for anything inside the van. The skylight, which is absolutely brilliant and great fung shui from it's location, really ought to open up for even more space and ventilation from the showers, as well as providing roof access from inside, and I would have sized things so that you can shove one of those cushions up there to act as insulation if you travel to anywhere cold. You ought to add a locked gate to the garage, just to deter even the thought that someone could sneak up and take your monowheel while you're cooking. Finally, I would add a latch and a pole hidden behind the kitchen console so that you can open and close the back doors from inside, and I would rest the pole horizontally on a hinged shelf in the swing path of the doors so it can keep the doors open in case of wind. Overall, this is an absolutely BRILLIANT build and I will be stealing a lot from this design :p Ps: you are charging too little. There is another excellent build with a Murphy bed and hidden shower that was SOLD for 155k! I would put your design right up there with that one... yours has a little more storage, theirs has a direct walk path from side to back.

[@chrissyuy]

Was the van your referring to a Mercedes, or a Dodge? That might be the reason for the price discrepancy.

[@prodigalespace7299]

easily one of the best videos you have done, nothing to say about the van as theyre always stellar!!! but the energy between you two makes it feel like youve known each other decades! keep it up! :D

[@amyralls6218]

I think this is one of the best van builds I've seen! You can easily do the 3-S's [sh*t, shower, shave], sleep comfortably, but not have to make your bed every morning, and a GREAT kitchen for those of us who LOVE to cook!!

[@ramonadefore5180]

What a beautiful build!! Love that couch up front by the big doors! You have everything you need, and the shower and toilet are hidden away! Can’t wait to see more of your vans!!

[@KyleRuggles]

This is sweet!!! Bravo to Keon and I love this van! Guy has talent! And we know he'll be inspiring future van builds by this.

[@cottonysensation3723]

Keon has a genuine talent for interior design

[@too2great8]

I absolutely love this build. I have seen nothing like it in the many months I have started looking at people's van builds. I love the idea of having the kitchen to the back of the van. That u-shape is lovely. Excellent job, Keon! And I just knew this van would be six figure range. That's impressive that you're asking for 85k.

[@lbl9066]

Great layout, never thought of kitchen in back! Perfect.

[@tjme]

That u shaped kitchen is killer. Great job on this van!

[@vidibites]

I would like to have seen how that shower unpacks when in use. All that fabric around it seems like a worry. Perhaps he has a cool solution. Perfect build for the passionate cook. 👨‍🍳

[@fishernate]

Best design ever! Like a Baja beach bar.

[@lisaduffy5853]

That van has a fabulous layout, well thought out. Only thing missing for me is maybe a max fan. Really liking his shower & toilet & how they are incorporated into the furniture but the bath mat slit is what its about!! Best of luck to Keon & his mad vibes, he seems like a fun character. Onwards & upwards fella 😍

[@zer0nix]

If that skylight could open up, honestly he wouldn't need the fan. An effective extraction fan for cooking would exchange the air quickly enough that there wouldn't be much difference between having the fan on vs cooking with the doors open, and having the cooktop so close to such a big opening means that there is very little chance of oil vapors ending up inside the van, assuming he has a fan blowing air out from behind. If that skylight could open and provide roof access, this design would literally be perfect imo. It boggles the mind to imagine how he could improve upon this design!

[@tamsolo1584]

He's brilliant and adorable

[@lizzym9029]

What a super cool different layout!! Love your color scheme too! Team pro shower.

[@marilynbio.mincer6520]

[@LovingSoul61]

Nice to see Keon again, he's adorable! Love the kitchen layout!

[@gnarbeljo8980]

No less than 4 different water points! WOW. Bc the bed is where the shower is, and to jist be able to clean stuff, muddy boots, sandy feet, or take an open air shower, that's really practical! The kitchen is amazing! You could probably fit a lagoon table somewhere by the couch so you can work online from your home on wheels. The murphy bed is the way to go I think. The first build I saw with one just like this (same placement) had a wall panel under it and a big mirror that looked like a faux mirror fixed to it, gorgeous! I was thinking, anyone who needed more garage storage (long term living) you could have this exact look, and just fake cabinet fronts on that left hand side, but a deep enough storage opened from the back to fit a paddelboard, hiking gear, you name it! Just insert a sliding rack or drawer all the way to the toilet unit. This looks very soave! 👌

[@lukekao8136]

Keon's van is sick!

[@smooqalstan6795]

Nice different design! Would just recommend skylight that opens (for fresh air, safety, roof access), and make small egress point in kitchen counter (safety). 😊

[@BunnyMomDani]

I absolutely love this build! It's so awesome and unique. The pricing is also seriously impressive. I was expecting so much more than that.

[@JarrodTocci]

Which is why I love him. He’s not out there trying to take advantage. It’s priced right and if anything he could go up slightly more. But he knows not to take advantage :)

[@meli25948]

whats the asking price?

[@jenniferd264]

@@meli25948 $85K which is AMAZING!

[@yenlinhtran69]

People in Hawaii be asking 85k for a used, used van. Ridiculously pricing for old vans with boring layouts and old stinky smells. Love this build.

[@RebelTurtle]

One of the best van builds out there!

[@margarethutchens5463]

A 6×5 Murphy bed is big enough for two adults or 1 chihuahua. Lol. Love this out of the box design. I don't remember where I saw it but I saw a lady who had a sound booth in the back of her van. She's a voice actress. Everything else including her shower was in front of it. She did skylight instead of windows. I'm with Keon. I like the Promaster.

[@jaredgabler5949]

I absolutely LOVE this setup

[@strattonskier7229]

Best van I’ve seen. Love the layout. Super man, great job.

[@jamesoldman3021]

I like the fact it is sealed off from the cab to the living area. Hope it is sound proof.

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

Loved the first build and LOVE LOVE the second one even more. The new layout is incredible. Love how you hid the shower and the toilet. You have it when needed but it doesn't have to be on display when you don't. Love the Murphy bed. The kitchen is gorgeous and perfect for doing some real cooking. You created a stunning can which people will be copying because you have so many amazing design ideas.

[@karimimarjorie]

I love this layout! Makes so much more sense space-wise.

[@qianaricci4502]

Dang Keon. That was super quick. In one van and out the other. Sweet layout 🤌💋

[@estherstephens1858]

I love his sense of humor! I use a different name on IG but I just followed him on IG to see his previous build. I know he sold it but I wanted to see what it looked like. This one here is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for sharing

[@JarrodTocci]

I also put the video link in this video to his previous build. They are both amazing but he really did level up on this one

[@jleedw]

I love this. Having a seat in by side door is so nice so you can have a view. I never understood having it tucked between kitchen and bed.

[@rowdysgirlalways]

This is a fabulous design, I love it! I love the electrical too! The shower system is brilliant, the inside shower is a marvel and the other two shower spots are just darned clever. I definitely approve of the door into the cab. One of the best things about a van is being able to drive away from trouble. The Murphy bed looks so cozy and comfortable. I think this van is a brilliant work of art!

[@lucyfur3]

This is amazing. That kitchen! And the sofa/living space! Love love love!!!

[@mrdeanvincent]

I love these rare occasions when I see a layout I haven't seen before. This is interesting, and very well executed too.

[@danamabey6450]

This layout has to be my favorite!! I have had this in my head for a long time but with a roll-down bed from the ceiling!!! I just saw your first trailer and you did an amazing job with that as well!! With the trailer, for the door, a screen would be nice as well as a window on it.. My mom lived out in San Diego a little bit back. She lived in the town of Mira Mesa. With my brother.. she said it was beautiful there! One day I plan on making my way out there!! I will come and check out your shop while I'm there.. I may pick me up a trailer from you as well!!!😊 Thanks for shairing!!!

[@kerimabrown5404]

That’s the most amazing van design I have seen yet! Murphy bed yes, so much room to sit yes!

[@OldExodus]

That layout is really nice. It’s def built for a cook. I like large TV with the sound as well.

[@CEDROU95]

That shower is awesome, when I was thinking of a shower it was similar ideal but a slide out whereas this is so much smarter lol.

[@cliftontorrence839]

You said it first, it's lovely !

[@danielmelgar8918]

This is a smart layout. I like how the bed is by the sliding door. Reason why that is smart. Sleeping by the driver seat. Sleeping and relaxing by the open sliding door. Better way to chill. Using the back as a kitchen is cool. But living in a van I would love a restroom. U shape kitchen is great to cook for a group.

[@jenniferd264]

$85K are you kidding me? ❤❤ That is AMAZING! Most start at $200,000! Regular people need this pricing! Thank you for sharing it

[@pprigge75]

I remember the Brooklyn Loft! Love the U shape in the back, there was another tour you did with a girl that was using it as a bed and had stairs going up etc. If I ever become a nomad I am doing a U shape 100%. Question, where does he store his clothes etc. Cabinets above kitchen?

[@Aggie4life77]

I really like this! You actually have a suitable place to lounge. So many setups don’t have this in a van. Sure you can lounge outside, but if it’s raining or at night late, you want to do that inside. Only thing I would update is in the kitchen. I would have had the countertop next to tv be a fold down table with no cans below. That way you could eat there with some stools. Closet for close would be under couch.

[@ihogenhuis960]

Triple AAA build! Superduper cool van, from a superduper cool dude. Well done! A side note: I would be willing to sacrifice a part of the kitchen for a hanging closet, being a girl and all that..

[@michellewahl4756]

When I was sitting at the Dream Inn in Santa Cruz, I sat down on the couch and it was just like that looking out over the ocean. I thought if I could get a converted van just like this that’s all I need. I love that he’s not losing space and making it claustrophobic by having a shower, permanent shower. And I like the safety of the closed off cab they have that in European designs. I wonder if you could have the Murphy bed and the other bed so that you could have like a bunkbed? That is perfect. I’d love to have the rest of the back for a closet hanging closet
