The BEST CAMPER KITCHEN Designed By Professional CHEF 🍳🧑‍🍳 // EPIC Van Conversion With TWO SHOWERS 🚿

[@hoppas77]

The best van build ever! The only thing I would change is a collapsible sink faucet and cut out a crawl space to the cab. -As a woman,- I would want the option to get back into the cab without going outside (at night) to drive out of the area if I felt unsafe.

[@texasoutlook60]

ditto!

[@TangledNana]

Yeah, definitely agree. I would want want to be able to hop into the driver seat and get outta dodge in a pinch should something sketchy happen.

[@adriancaldwell]

agreed with the cab access. such good finishes

[@heelsonwheels721]

I've been watching van builds for years. Every time I think I've seen the best, I find another... that all being said THIS van is my favorite. From the look to the functionality. Great job!!

[@getlostwhenwondering393]

Love this van, just wish there was a way to have this build and still have access to the front seat.

[@johannafatima5911]

Jacqulin Burrell-Smart Maybe you can open up the upper half of the sink area? It would be uncomfortable to pass through though. But if you’ll just be using shortcut when it’s raining, then I guess it’ll be tolerable 😁

[@yourmajesty3569]

For safety I want to be able to get out of bed in the middle of the night due to animal or human danger and just get in the driver's seat and go.

[@curtisgriesel9503]

Put the sink next to the stove, in what is now the doorway. Then put a flip up countertop or maybe a countertop on lagoon table mount, in the space that becomes the new side entrance. That way the counter can be moved around to provide access to the van as well as the front cab.

[@getlostwhenwondering393]

@@johannafatima5911 just a safety issue, on rare occasions when you need to leave a questionable area.

​@@curtisgriesel9503 -That could be done but then wouldn't you lose clearance for the fridge door to open? I love this layout except for the inability to enter the cab from inside the van.

Best video I've seen cuz he's actually using the van while showing it. I've only seen 1 other van utilize that dead space at the entrance of the van.

for me i would totally turn the kitchen area into a sitting lounge for friends then have the kitchen slide out from under the seat all cooking should be done outdoor with the awning on top for light rain cover his current sitting area is hella cramp just leave a microwave inside the van for a quick cook incase of thunderstorm or you dont feel like going out for various reasons

[@cantfindmykeys]

The splashback wall in your kitchen is gorgeous. The entire van is spectacular.

[@anitavermaak2616]

Absolutely awesome... Everything fits perfectly without taking up more space than necessary. Personally I would add a BIG skylight above the bed..to give even more natural light and also.to get on the deck from the inside. SUPER neat ..I just adore the headboard of the bed.. Fun ,modern, comfy, homey and one of a kind Van built.. God bless.

[@saz6511]

This man is living my best life. Amazing van.

[@huibu8987]

3 things to add / change: 1. Cab entry through the inside shower by a waterproof panel would be an easy addition. 2. I'd also like to see a inside ladder in shower room through roof-window to get to the rooftop without having to walk around the van.(also better to not have a permanent latter outside your van) 3. Watermanagement: They all talk about saving water. After 3 min of showering most dirt is gone. From then on you can circle your water back into the showerhead. eww you think? There are UV-water sterilizers out there with reasonable flow-rates. Like this you can almost endless shower and you just drain power for the water pump and the sterilizer element.

[@jerrykorf4444]

'Cab entry through the inside shower by a waterproof panel' would be directly behind the drivers seat, and nearly impossible to facilitate...

[@sewistnotsewer]

Beautiful! This has more counterspace than many Class Cs I've seen. The detail work in this van is fabulous!

[@lisadefries6718]

Now I come to think of it it’s better than my kitchen too 😂😂😂

[@anoddviewcreative505]

That is perfect!! I’ve been watching many of these and yours is so well designed. Is the van capable of towing a separate trailer for musicians PA & guitars etc to leave more room in the van garage for bikes etc. as a woman I’d push the shower down to where the bench seat is and move the sink, prep area along beside it. I’d leave the fridge and cupboard where it is as love the fold up prep area. Perfect place to sit and write and could store a tall stool in the shower recess while travelling. There would then be space to ingress, egress to the cabin and sit and dine looking out the open door.

[@johnaquino4291]

Wow. That backsplash in the kitchen area has blown away anything else I've seen yet. How the frige door opened just enough to grab a cold one makes sense. So much of this build was amazing - thank you. Wow.

Omar Williams I like fact it’s so portable. Easy to drive down the road in Europe etc (we have narrow country roads) I think these vans all about locations you choose to camp out. Best unofficial camp sites probably only known to a few. It’s the idea of the adventure I love. Space for a foldable kayak and cycle and a world of fun

[@user-fz3vx6tu4z]

Alright it’s official. I’m doing it. This was the most perfect van build I’ve ever seen. Exactly what I want. The kitchen facing outside so you’re cooking with a view. The roof top deck. His personality. Everything is perfect!

[@littlemisssunshine2931]

Hi Kiwi, I'm very impressed with your oven and your neat little box for your outdoor shower. Haven't seen those two versions before (obviously impressed with the van in general too).

I really like the roof deck! That would be great for all sorts of things. But to be honest I wouldn't want the ladder permanantly fixed on the side like you have. It just looks like it would be a magnet for anyone looking to steal stuff, like the solar panels or what ever you might have stored up there. But yeah this is a great conversion. Well done.

[@vandammeconversions6900]

This van doesn't but the new designs will and thank you.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

Fantastic! My kinda van!!! Only thing I’d add is some form of drop down hatch in the back (or if part of the bed folded down, so theres a space for two to sit and read or eat and enjoy the same rear view as in the bed in the shade with ease. For me a 120-130 cm wide bed would suffice for one or two people. Aircon is also a must, especially travelling with a dog. This goes up to the top of my list bc I love a great kitchen, need shower and toilet, love the roofdeck and the easthetic is my taste exactly. Bravo! 👍👍 And much thanks! ❤️

[@kelliemarquet5125]

see lots of vans with porcelain or ceramic tile...what product do you use to keep it from cracking? I imagine the grout would move and create gaps that could leak...
