It is a good van build and my respects to the young lady but there are many good van builds been done each unique in various ways but I feel you are short sighted on saying this is the best. But it is not a competition and I respect each and every one I see for the unique vision that each has for their desired outcome and visual appeal of interior style, space and functionality; and maybe more important than all those is access for possible repairs should a fault occur in the future. This young lady has not come up short on any of those point.

10 year vancamper here. California coast mostly. Mount a 4' diameter hula hoop above your hotwater heater output on the side of the van. Hang a shower curtain from it. Make a welded one foldable into quarters. They make small tankless waterheaters that run on propane you can mount inside rear doors inside a wooden insert. Bolt the wooden insert to the cut doorframe. Fit the insert to the waterheater. The insert can be thicker than the door. Use a foldable mat under the shower. You can just have it pull water from portable 5 gallon water jugs. The tankless waterheaters usually have a built in pump to suck water out of the jug. Plug in propane when showering. Put a filter on the line between jug and heater when filling at rivers/lakes. No need to waste space with indoor showers when there's truck stops, beach surfer showers, gyms, aquatic centers, and city pools to shower at. Wetrooms and watertanks are overkill and a waste of space unless you have a bus.

Also, your van-build is brilliant not to say the least, but that's utterly understandable being South African. That's just how we are. ń Boer maak ń plan. We are excellent all rounders, that goes without saying. Thumbs up for you. I'll be the next one to do my van build but I'm much older than you.

Lots of other considerations outside of the 'money' aspect.

I'm (eventually building [fairly expensive]) framing a 30cm tall case across my entire van roof. Inside the case are vents for two maxair fans (or just smaller 6" homemade ones) and possibly, a DC powered air conditioner they make for vans/Busses/RV's now. Between the vents to the outside, are water/airtight cases for surfboard/Kayak, waterfoil storage. On top of the case is a 700 -800 plus watt solar array on a light tiltable deck. With plastic, sealed solar panels aluminium reinforced. Tiltable toward the sun's angle. But it cranks over by hand all the way to 185° forming an awning over the side doors. You can support it at 180° with poles forming another deck under (now on top) the panels. The panels can be cleaned from the ground. With another sealed array of plastic panels forming a deck over the van. But built into or adjacent to the lids of the surf gear storage between ducts. Increasing the wattage to a potential 1.5 - 2 kilowatts. Enough to recharge an electric vehicle parked at the beach for a few days, if you ever decide to install an electric, or hybrid engine.

How much weight was added to the van and how is the gas mileage impacted.? The cost? The sale price? Now she's selling it after 6 months? She'll find a unique high end buyer and make a profit I'm sure but I wonder if there is a warning here about uber-conversions.

Very nice build, it's beautiful! Her outlook about her van build and life is so positive. I don't think I could let such a beautiful build go? For her to do all of this work by herself with minor help is mind blowing.

I just bought a retired utility van from my work today with the intention of converting it. This is amazing and her story is so relatable in my own life. I can't wait to hit the road. Amazing, thank you

Fawwad Shafi I should think it wouldn’t be to challenging for the next person to make the change if they feel it’s necessary, just need some ply a jigsaw a router and some new flooring, I am building a camper in a citron Berlingo right now but I am planing to build a big van when I finish my post graduate course so I think I will steal this underfloor Idea when the time comes 😀

This van conversion is one of the best I've seen. I really appreciate how the spaces are separated so you have the feel of different areas for different uses. Very tasteful. Well done! I love seeing powerful, strong and confident women.

You put my feelings into words about being okay with putting your heart and soul into something and then being okay with the fact that it's not going to be yours forever. That can be said about raising children, teaching children, building a business. I've done all those things and I had to sell my dance studio when the pandemic hit. I returned to teaching math and that is definitely something you put your heart and soul into if you're meant to do it.

Ok so just to add a little credibility to what follows... I’m a multi skilled tradesman, and as arrogant as it might sound, I’m pretty fucking good. The work interests me. I’m in absolute awe, the build is not just well executed but fucking flawlessly planned. It’s the work of a true craftsman, attention to detail, knowledge enough to have great decisions. Genuinely Now, this is the first ever big compliment I’ve ever paid on here... I’m blown away. You my lovely are awesome. Just so you know, I’m picking up my first project this weekend and spending Christmas converting it... stealing you’re idea for the floor for sure!! Anyhow... needed to say that. Carry on being brilliant. X

Been watching van conversions after my gf convinced me that they're cool (she's right!) and at some point we wanna get a van and plan one of these. Watching this, I hope you are more flattered than offended when I saw "we wanna steal some of your design ideas" I wish I could steal your shower idea, but unless we get a schoolie that ain't happening considering I'm 6'3"? lmao, tall woman struggles.

Raising the floor is just brilliant. If the roof is high enough you could build it on top of the wheel wells. It would also make it easier to reach the top cabinets. I would build deep drawers that pull out from the back door. Some of the cabinets could have a deep bottom for bigger items. All the plumbing and water tanks could be stored there. You're a genius.
