Yes, I agree. Too many are overstuffed with things. Yet it looks unfinished. Some like the wood look, but I personally think raw wood always looks like the carpenter got called away in the middle of a job.

Your van is laid out really nice, but would be cool, eventually get a HI-Top as it gets old not being able to stand up in my opinion.. Thanks for the tour.. What a cute little dog... Good luck in all your adventures and with your channel. I love to fish too but I do it from my kayak. I live permanent in a 28 foot converted construction trailer. However I have a six car garage on my property as well.. I only wished I was as organized as you....

What a great home, I love it! I've literally watched hundreds of videos on nomadic/tiny/skoolie/van living and I've never seen those pop out utility panels, those are magic!! lol Just think of all the things you could do; I love to cook so I see a potential food truck that one can also live in. Or think of those bump outs ppl put in their vans to add a few inches so they can sleep east-west rather than north-south; these are bump out 2.0s!

Smart and functional layout, excellent job! Also loved the wood floor and blanket, nice design features. You have all the basics covered, and good use of storage place. Sweet dog too! Please get a bucket toilet, its very useful. I would put a rubber flap in front of the inverter so no water gets in. That's a costly mistake! When I travel and its cold, I use a beanie cap on my head. 50% of your blood is in the head, so cover it up to stay warm. If you are sick, try Source Naturals Wellness. Its all natural and will kick out anything you have in 12 hrs or less. You will never get sick if you take this, a life saver! All natural herbal mix. Please don't say 'Um' so many times, bad speech habit. Your voice is lovely and easy to listen to, but too many Ums makes it hard to listen to. I used to join Toastmasters sessions and it helped polish my speech. Next van - high top! World of difference standing up and being able to store your bikes under your bed. Its cooler for the dog too. Happy travels, and thanks a lot for sharing! Loved it!!

You Can buy a shroud for the top side of the Fantastic fan to protect it from the elements while driving. Basically it allows you to crank the top of the fan up and it is still protected while allowing air through. I have had a vent top blow off in the wind on a trailer I was pulling even though the cover was cranked down and installed in the correct direction.They sell them at RV parts stores. Very nice simple and elegant build,especially those pop-up back panels!

I have a '94 G10 Chevy Van and LOVE it.. I took the cab divider and metal shelf unit out to make as much space as possible.. like my kayaks, I don't like to overload/crowd.. defeats the whole purpose.. I have a 5.5' x 10' trailer and 20 rolling plastic trunks.. I'm leaning toward an organized, "as needed" system.. I have been collecting camping equipment so I wouldn't be staying in the van all the time.. I just want a mobile, practical mancave.. 😎😁

Sorry to tell you this but the "Access Panels" on the sides was a FACTORY available option and was very sought after but was not an aftermarket add on.just an FYI.. You rarely ever see them come up for sale and they are great for resale although not ideal for van life as they are not very secure..they can be made to be more secure but from the factory they aren't too hard to enter.. They were very popular among tradesman and plumbers to reach in and grab small parts from interior bins..

Just a note: I noticed your roof vent cover is into the oncomming wind while driving. Most are turned as to be opening toward the back draft when driving. Less stress on the hardware, resisting the lifting effect from on coming wind. :Nice interior build, I like it.

my suggestion as well, buy a roll of screen at the local Lowes/HomeDepot and use magnets since you have so much metal exposed, or Velcro trape..You can have a screen for the 'French door's' , the driver and passenger windows, and the flip out windows too. The first time you came where there is an over abundance of flies or mosquitos you will be happy you have screens.

Did you mean you have a carbon monoxide detector? Carbon monoxide is a consideration with burning propane. If you meant CO, then your detector is in a great place. Carbon monoxide is lighter than air, so your high placement of the detector is great. I had a CO detector in a cabin actually go off once. I got out and opened everything up so fast! If you did actually mean carbon dioxide, then your detector should be placed low. CO2 is about 1.5 times heavier than air, so it will sink to the floor. I LOVE your rig. It’s simple and you have everything you need. Nice design.
