I met Paul and Hunter in early 2022 and was very impressed with their creativity, skill, and craftsmanship. Back then, they were installing fixed shower bathrooms in the back of the van. We chatted about a hidden shower. I was impressed with Hunter’s planning and executing of this hidden shower, with the two drains, magnets at the top and bottom of the two shower curtains, and how the curtains can provide privacy for the toilet, if necessary. The hidden shower and Murphy bed really make the shorter vans more practical. For me, this is the perfect van, expertly crafted.

Very nicely built. These videos are so useful for getting inspiration. Pre-pandemic, I did a self-build conversion (with basic skills and tools) on the road outside my house. I had a lifting bed - just using sail ropes and block and tackle to help lift up, which worked very well. When stowed, it was about 1.5m (5ft) height underneath, so I had the seating under there. It was at the front of the van, and when stowed you could slide it about 18" above the cab to reduce the low height section. The rest of the van was full height with a normal domestic under counter compressor fridge (converted to 12v, but next time I'll just use standard 240v AC from the inverter), LPG gas hob and oven, a sink with a retractable shower tap and a recessed shower tray as this guy's done (but my effort was nothing like as professional looking!), a swing table made out of a bit of oak, and more storage than was necessary. All the electrics was from solar (no alternator from the engine or shore supply). In three years I used the shower about four times (the rest of the time I used service stations, campsites, lakes, or just had a flannel wash). Every other van person I've met says that the shower was a priority when they built/bought the van, but then never use it. So a system like this I think it's a good compromise - it doesn't take up space. The retractable tap means you can use it outside of the van to wash stuff (or shower). Next build will have a similar layout, the bed worked very well (although I'm tempted but the Murphy) but probably no shower tray, and I'll cut down on the storage, and hopefully build it so it's more professional looking. As it was an old van that I bought for £4k ($5k), and I did everything myself, the whole cost was about £8,000. As well as cost, my priorities were as low tech as possible as I planned to go to West Africa in it and didn't want it to be too reliant on tech that would be affected by dust and difficult to fix, and although it was a 2wd van I had BFG AT tyres that gave a 1-2" lift and was very effecting on gravel pistes in Morocco. Sadly the standard Mercedes rust took over and I had to scrap the van. Next time I'll use a Fiat Ducato.

Its a really good build. I would buy it with a couple of changes and if it was cheaper. Being a poor disabled person trying to survive in the age of cost of living crisis, I could live in this build. I would take out the shower and built in monitor. Add folding out steps or ramp for easier access for when I'm older or my health declines further, with handrail. I would add an outdoor shower system to avoid rust, mould or damp inside the van. Have easier access to electricals such as cables etc in case of much needed repairs rather than having to take some of the build apart to access them. I would add more cold food storage such as a large fridge freezer. Getting to the shop while disabled and poor can be hard. So bulk buying on the cheap is easier and more cost effective. I didn't quite catch how much solar it has but I would also add a small wind turbine for energy generation. Either on the roof acting like a weather vein or an out door system you fold away like on a tripod. Living in Scotland, the Sun is almost non existent but we do have plenty of wind and rain. I don't know if I missed it but I didn't notice anything mentioned about a heating system. I would add an electrical one as it gets really cold here in Scotland during winter. And maybe some sort of air conditioning for the hotter months. Or for traveling where its generally hotter. Thanks for the video. It helped give me ideas for my own build. Now I just have to find a van I can afford and someone to build it out. Unlikely sadly. ^_^

I'm not sure if they make 48 volt panels, but they might. My house has 220 volt panels (never heard of them before they installed). The other minor thing would be to have the tank monitor up where you can check it easily, instead of near the floor in the cabinet. Anyhow, great van design!!

Great narration, the hippy sounded like a pro announcer! Kidding..., but no uhs and ems, he talked good. On a more serious note, just because it's a 48 VDC system, is no reason to not have solar, two 60 cell modules, wired in series, will produce their best power at about 30-32 volts. Run that 60-62 volts thru a quality MPPT charge controller, set to a 48 VDC battery, simple.

@GVV860 Жыл бұрын
Thanks Darlene 😊 With such a large battery bank charging from solar, it would take roughly 5 days of sustained sun with 400 watts of solar . So, to make sure it has the most efficient charge rate, we used a 48v battery bank coupled with a secondary 4,800 watt 48v alternator. At cruising speed, it will completely charge the battery bank in two hours. While exterior temperatures can fluctuate its power consumption with the air conditioner, you could expect the battery bank to last 2-4 days if running the a/c (average 8 hours a night) and using the induction cooktop (.5-1hour).

This costs more than my home, so, it's out of my budget, but I still love seeing the innovative ideas.
