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.

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.

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.
