Best and most different layout Ive seen was a recent van tour where the bed came down from the roof on tracks at the front of the van over the living area which gave basically two queen size sleeping areas and giving a "full size" bathroom and kitchen layout. Plus the concrete type wall material was fabulous on the walls. Completely different look and feel of these typical layouts and styles shown here (nothing wrong with these mind you).

It’s all personal preference. I had a convertible bed that had to be pushed in for sitting, cooking, etc. and it drove me nuts having push-pull it in and out every time I wanted to lounge with feet up, nap, etc. A good rule of thumb is do you spend most of your time during the day at home sitting upright or doing things or in a lounging position. Even working (online) I almost always have my feet up and definitely when watching videos, movies, etc. so a fixed bed was best for me.

Family of 5 with a 120# Newfoundland in PNW here. Some feedback from our 10 years of vans, we DIY the build. 1. Get flares, sleep sideways. 2. use stock 3 seat bench against the bed. 3 Put the kitchen in the van step. Yup...9" deep, take half the step and extend the cabinet inside another 20" back. Kitchen opens to the outside with drop down counter and extension. Why? Cooking inside is a mess and totally not needed unless lots of winter camping. 4. A 15gal water tank behind the bench seat, horizontally, 6 gal gray water tank next to it (passenger side) all in the garage. Plumbed to a pop up sink on the inside side of kitchen. Foot pump to RV click in faucet. No electricity, easy to fix. No hot water, heat some up. 5.Batteries underneath means you get ALL the garage width. Why? Nobody shows all the inflatable kayak/SUP, fishing gear, surfing gear, wetsuits, coats/blankets, firewood, dutch oven, s'more sticks, hatchet, grill, bike tools...you know...camping stuff. 6. One easy to setup tent/sleeping pads/pillows/sleeping bags because nobody wants to sleep with their parents all the time 7.Top load National Luna Twin fridge freezer behind driver with Lagun tables that swivel both sides to allow surface as prep space or as a table for the bench seats. Mom preps by fridge and pantry (see #8) Dad cooks outside. 8. Headliner shelf, the LOW one is your pantry. 8. SOFT cabinets. Reduce weight and injury in case of accident. Build with nothing that can splinter. Secure ALL hard objects if not in the garage. 9. Soft zippered bulkhead, the front window shades are a pain, don't insulate as much and give away someone is inside. 10. Cassette toilet only for urine. Store in garage. 11. Solar shower or heat some water. Use a teak mat out back with a cheap battery driven shower head. Plumbing inside a van can be a mess, a "bathroom" takes up valuable space most rarely if ever use. 12. Drop down movie screen from headliner shelf, small projector in ceiling.

The most important thing for me is a bed, I do all my cooking outside, washing, well I use a campsite shower or do without washing for a day or two no big deal, brush your teeth and use a bottle of water to rinse your mouth. I have an awning to sit under, cook under, a small BBQ to cook with and a gas stove. It is camping after all not luxury living! ✌❤

Love this design, thing is…i could use the dining area as the work and play space with the flat screen tv there where the bed dining table conversion is. Then have bathroom extended where the work space is and with a small closet space with shelving and stuff to hang clothes wrapping all around in front blocking driving area with a large hanging closet and shelving there also, or maybe a sitting area in front of entrance where the window is still there with storage below and has a pull out feature to extend into a another bed that way also. That so work for me. All the fixtures and design elements are nice for me. I am definitely saving this video for a great idea to live in for the rest of my days while in America. This be amazing and love it. 😊

You don't need to sit four five six people, you need a work space, a place to eat and a place to chill for you.

For me, a Murphy bed takes away an entire wall of storage. I’d rather have a drop down bed over a lounge area, that can also convert to a bed. And still fit some lockers to the underside of the drop-down bed. But this is the great thing about van layouts, everyone has different needs and you just need to find what suits you best.

I would be interested in your ideas for layouts for a soon to be retired couple with dogs (small less than 24 lbs). We anticipate doing both weekend trips and longer cross-country trips but not for extended periods (i.e., 2-3 weeks instead of months). Also, we anticipate dividing time between van and hotels during the longer trips. We don’t anticipate passengers so additional seating isn’t an important consideration, but a bathroom with a toilet and shower is a priority. The van will be for travel, resting/napping, relaxing, sightseeing, overnighting and most importantly, providing a comfortable area for my dogs to rest during the long days of cross-country travel. Thanks.

I have been watching many videos and thinking about the various layouts. Don’t know if I’m up for a build as I’m 61, but the family of 3 layout looks intriguing. Anyway, I don’t really understand the whole wheel base factor? Googling For Transit WB’s it said they come in 130 or 148. But you said most people opt for 170? I assume 148 vs 130 just means that the 148 is 18” longer than the 130? Also, if a 148 WB is used then you would have to eliminate the fixed shower and maybe install a shower pan in the floor and have a removable shower curtain? Finally, how much height would a rack with solar panels & AC add to the van? I would like to store medium roof (101”) van in a 9’ (108”) garage door if possible? Thanks.

Family of 3 layout is my fave.... only if because it truly does allow for keeping multiple zones without "re-configuring" zones as needed. I wonder if you'd have any tips for me ...I have a GMC Savana 1500 that i in pretty much mint condition original built inside. I will use it mainly for weekend getaways and don't need a bath etc. In fact for now I'm apprehensive about destroying the original pristine wood paneling, or carpet, but would love to brighten up the space a little... I've taken out the 2 extra passenger seats, and will lay a rubberized white floor floor on top of the carpet but still want to brighten the walls, and change the front passenger seat to a swivel and install a "lagoon" type table for that chair so my bed can stay in bed mode and I can have a sitting, eating, area in front. For a kitchen I'm thinking of a kitchen box so I can take it outside when it's nice out but bring inside if raining etc. Any suggestions on what to consider when DYI or where to buy materials. I'm also looking at installing an awning in the front. Thanks in advance for your time, and keep up the great work.

lacking info for some personal touch like the best layout for solo stealth (longer and extended van effect on some parking lot, etc), best layout for people who love take off-road (more into outer layout like need rail guard for solar panel, place for saw machine, extra lamp, etc, best layout for 1 or 2 people who like side activity like hiking, ski, diving, etc.
