This is a perfect build! The only thing I would change is to put the induction cooktop at the other end of the kitchen and not next to the bed (which is the best bed set up I've seen!)
@shannashuck51584 ай бұрын
I was also thinking I would want a barrier to the right of the cooktop to keep the bed and stove from coming in contact.

Beautiful! What would really be cool is if the bed turns into futon both ways. I could see myself in the morning drinking my coffee while sitting on the futon facing the lake or ocean watching the sun rise or set ❤
@MrCoryb775 ай бұрын
Very nice build. It caught my eye that he has his switches and touch screen control panel right above his induction cook top. I can't see the heat and steam being good in that location.

It's practically perfect! The only 2 things I would add are the ability of the futon to face the driver seats and then convert to face the back doors. I would also add some type of oven - I'd pull the space from the queen bed & use a full size bed instead. Everything in this design makes sense.

Interesting setup. The cook top next to the bed? That means you would have to move the bed so while you are cooking, nothing splashes over. The cooktop should have been under the microwave with a fan for exhaust. But it is nice setup.

I understand what you’re saying. In order to cook, the bed would need to be in futon/couch mode. I think if they put a hidden sliding protector panel next to the cabinet and when you cook, you can leave the bed in it’s position, and just slide up the protector so that the bedding doesn’t get soiled with splatter.

I'm a traveling maintenance man in the New York New Jersey area and I drive a Chevy equinox when honestly I really need an Econoline van. But my job likes me to be discreet and be able to sneak around certain areas without having to pay commercial tolls on bridges where I can go in and out of New York City and not have to pay commercial rates for tolls but I do building maintenance for a bank and I have to put it tremendous amount of hardware and tools into a Chevy equinox and I learn a lot of shit from this show about drawers doors storage shelving I utilize so much of the stuff I learned from the show inside my truck and people are shocked at how much stuff I'm able to fit in the truck and make it look totally normal where it doesn't even look cluttered. I should do a show just on my truck I should roll up on Patrick with my truck. Even though I don't live in it

Awesome layout, very well use of space specially considering that it isn't the extended model and truly good looking interior. That being said, I agree 100% with the person that wrote before me, the controls above the stove isn't the idea, and I'll go beyond the heat factor affecting them, imagin needing yo use the control while boiling water for pasta, also, since the stove is an area where your hands moves about a lot (like when steering food), you'll most likely unintentionally touch the screen more than once. Still on the stove matter, my personal view is, the further away from the bed the coocking point is, the better. I'm currently designing my own van, I concluded a none fixed stove is the best way, my idea is to have both, a two burners induction and two burners gas. Nowadays portable induction stoves are very thing and light, and I'd be covered for any scenario.
