I also recommend the water fill on the inside of the van to prevent someone from messing with your water supply.

[@Canoecamper]

He said water fill is still on the inside and that he'd probably "get flak for that."

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Good tip

[@0708scott]

Honestly, I didn't think it was possible for such a small van to offer so much. This is an incredible build. Great job!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you!

[@bra2il]

Unreal the use of space Come to Australia please

[@siegaurich]

How the heck do you take a shower? No room to stand! Looks like the toilet is fixed.

[@ronmee7738]

On top of being a great build, your tour/commentary is the best I've heard, clear and concise.

[@improvagility5516]

Great design-simple, clean, functional, beautiful. Looks like great craftsmanship! Congratulations!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you very much!

[@flywst]

Wow! Every door, every panel, every inch, every detail. Just wow!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you like it!

[@lizzym9029]

Love the twin size bed that can expand. It opens so much space for the little dinette situation. Nice !

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Yes it does!

[@gloriamariadc7757]

Agreed!!

[@dross24MA]

Yup, it "fits" those of us who do not require a large bed whilst traveling solo.

[@Beach652]

Agree, this is a brilliant compromise between the desire for a large bed and also a sitting area (and not wanting to pack up/set up the bed every day to have a sitting area). Really clever!

[@BrittMFH]

Very nice!!! I love that it's a twin bed with option to expand. (Inky and Blinky 😂♥️)

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you like it!

[@Brigand231]

Yeah, I'm wondering if someone is a Pac Man fan.

[@NicMercy]

I love the build. If I had any suggestions it would be the swap the table mount to the other seat so it can double as a nightstand table when it's time to sleep (assuming you don't extend the bed).

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you very much for the suggestion

[@mattmullen46]

Great point! My left handed bias is showing

[@dross24MA]

Me being me, I would have two mounts because I like the idea of being able to use it as either a night stand or as additional prep/work space when needed.

[@mk_mlt]

Wow! Just wow. That's one amazing van. Gongrats to owner.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

We agree!

[@midlifemom5829]

Love the sliding screen, window functions , shower exhaust fan, and light and bright style

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

We agree!

[@amandaparkeradams7965]

Yeah. I’ll need to have the slide in screen in my van. I have one cat and want a second one. I want to keep them safe but have good airflow and light.

[@trishdawson-saul9449]

Not sure how it is to shower with the toilet same area, bit tight for me

[@ajhourniforever]

This is by far one of my favorite vans I have ever seen. It is everything I want except I need to fill water from the outside. This is excellent!

[@mariocooke5463]

Tremendous design! Congratulations. You'll have work for years

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you very much!

[@della7]

I've watched hundreds of van-life videos over the last 4 years and gleaned the best ideas to put together my ideal van layout, which is basically THIS van!! (I have an idea to make a full-size hidden ensuite and use your shower space for wardrobe but essentially the rest of the van is identical). Wow! It's great to see "my" van in the flesh (not as 100 pages of sketches and notes!) Well done!!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Great to hear!

[@YouTubeCensor]

This is just what I said on Matt's first build!

[@jaytabac6525]

excellent. creative, well thought out. first time i ever saw a convertible bed that goes from twin to full.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you liked it!

[@cynthiawilliams5508]

Holey moley, this is a work of art--the craftmanship is crazy.

[@mattmullen46]

Thank you!

[@mimijango5553]

This is the van of my dreams! Love the layout which is perfect for me and my shepherd! Thank you for sharing.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Our pleasure!

[@littlegrandmajill5923]

If I was to ever have one, I would want it to be almost exactly like this one. ❤

[@paigepyrtko7079]

Love that screen door. The best idea I’ve seen yet!!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Yeah, totally

[@ekdaufin1485]

Thé pull out bed and the storage cabinets on the seat backs is fantastic !

[@scottthejeepguy7499]

WOW, OMG, very nice build, beautiful job, thanks for sharing. Good job Patrick. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you very much!

[@paigepyrtko7079]

Matt does it again!! Incredible build! Love seeing how well thought-out his builds are... Everything transitions so simply and easily. So beautiful. Hope Inky and Blinky enjoy their time on the road 😂 Thanks for sharing Patrick!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Super clean build

[@mattmullen46]

Thanks Paige! Inky an Blinky will be traveling in style

[@gailbrown7156]

Very professional, love the way you did the panels. One of the best .

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you very much!

[@holiday07]

Lovess the design, one of the tidiest and well thought of I’ve seen. If I was the owner, I would find the toilet quite strange so I would probably add more space for the shower area apart from the toilet and would sacrifice the oven and air fryer so I could move the sink to the passenger side.

[@mattmullen46]

Thank you! We work with clients for a totally custom build out- so totally possible

[@dross24MA]

I don't need an air fryer, but having had an oven in my old Class-C, I know how great it can be to have that option when you are living there. At the worst, it was a great temporary storage.

[@janetfolkerts5827]

VERY practical ! Plenty of kitchen storage, and deep garage. THANK YOU for sharing.

[@Jtbarry02]

Absolutely love!! A screen door is now a must for every camper van!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

I agree

[@valappleby9960]

Absolutely beautiful, clean, neat and really usable van!!! Love it!!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks so much!

[@daveb224]

That's certainly one of the better ones I've seen on here. Good job, Matt.

[@gloriamariadc7757]

Wow!! That was absolutely gorgeous!!!!! & super excellent walk thru description!!!!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you so much!

[@justsomeguy6474]

I really think this is best build I've seen for a Sprinter type van.

[@mattmullen46]

Thank you!

[@dross24MA]

...and it does not have to be just a Sprinter ...

[@justsomeguy6474]

@@dross24MA That's why I said Sprinter type.

[@glenchilada]

I'd rather have a second solar panel than the perch or skylight, but this is really well thought out.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Yes, options

[@geraldmerkel7145]

Yo Patrick,❤the clean look on the inside. Smart storage space under the bench seats but easily removable panels to get to the hardware 👍 Nice option on the bed. Another great tour! Thanks again! Hello from freezing 🥶 Mid Michigan

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you very much for the support. Stay warm spring is coming soon.

[@ASLLOVE]

Another great build by Matt. I would eventually lose at least one remote. Good thing there's a backup 👍🏼

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

You and me both!

[@paigepyrtko7079]

Hahaha 😂

[@leonardcroft1467]

Hi Patrick Always Enjoy Your Build Videos. Very Nice Van By Matt !

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you like them! I enjoy meeting everyone

[@paulbailey5915]

Beautiful clean build. Very impressed with the attention to details, for example the covers for the batteries under the dinette seat.

[@ellanamilan8132]

I really loved this build! Wow❤

[@jimdelarosa9776]

Nice to see Adam Lavine doing work without Maroon 5.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Yeah 👍

[@user-gz5bv2bn2v]

Beautiful design.

[@rspencerttc]

This is a very nice build. You could use walkable solar panels to expand the roof deck.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Absolutely

[@loveu2222]

Perfect floor plan,love the" clean" simple but everything is there solution ❤❤❤👌✌️🗽

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

We agree!

[@ekdaufin1485]

BEAUTIFUL shower.

[@pumpkin4539]

I'm sorry that my takeaway for your absolutely beautiful van is the pantry with adjustable shelving! I understand why builders don't do it but man...making shelves adjustable opens up all kinds of options.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

We agree!

[@seedsoflove7684]

Hanging rack in shower door for hanging clothes. When u shower, the door opens, clothes are now outside the bathroom, close 2nd sliding door.

[@MargaritaVioleta]

Some people called Court and Nate have a van looks a lot like this one! Great layout 🤩

[@mattmullen46]

Thank you! Court and Nate do amazing work and were a large part of the owners inspiration for this build

[@doronsherman]

Cleanest design I've seen 👏 the twin bed expanding to queen is slick. Alas, my 2 Mt bikes and 2 inflatable SUPs require a full bed footprint to fit under (with front wheels taken off). The large battery and water tank take precious space in the back. The art of tradeoffs...

[@dross24MA]

I bet he could adjust it for you!

[@helenhartshorn4205]

I love this van. Absolute dream.

[@mattmullen46]

Thank you!

[@SPAWNOFSATAN013]

Impressive, I want this.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

He can build one just like it

[@ann66pearson4]

Oh I love this build out. Excellent work done and finishes are beautiful. Now if I can live long enough to save up enough to have one built.

[@mattmullen46]

Thank you!

[@jennytravis6247]

I absolutely love this build

[@bee-anca236]

Beautiful build! So clean and thought out!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

I agree

[@sonia_1970]

Parla come i piloti d'aereo quando danno indicazioni alla torre di controllo! 😅 😂 😂 😂

[@mojo7493]

Id love to see more about the using the bed as a queen such as how do you store the additional mattress

[@mattmullen46]

The bed is cut into sections and stored in the garage, underneath the bed. 6in memory foam mattress takes up a fair amount of space- but not overwhelming

[@ekdaufin1485]

Thank you.

[@blairbowen198]

Very clean. Liked everything about it.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Appreciate it!

[@mattmullen46]

Thank you!

[@MP-ih9sf]

The galley alone does it for me!😊

[@andreamantovani5354]

Fantastic build, well done!!

[@mattmullen46]

Thank you!

[@TerryW5379]

Patrick I agree, his design is neat and easy to use. Lots of counter space plus the white panels makes the inside appear larger. I love it! Thanks

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Totally agree

[@ruthadejesus7838]

I love this!!

[@TraderChick]

Oh good, inky and binky are safe! Love the build 😊 flows very thoughtfully

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you! 😊

[@laurabeckwilson6963]

Love the details and build.

[@Canoecamper]

What an amazing quality build!

[@gailkellum832]

Wow! Very sleek, stylish and functional build. Beautiful!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you like it!

[@laurelanderson-rostami109]

Thank you Matt! Beautiful work on this van!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you like it!

[@meridethhendry5733]

WoW! Brilliant build!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

He has done an incredible job, and this is only a second Van build out

[@captainhml3868]

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikemanjo2458]

So beautiful! Glad the hookups are outside! Now for the water!❤❤❤Jane

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

I know!!

[@wendylbranchfield7959]

These folks know how to finish. Beautiful!👏

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Yes they do

[@kirstenveneziano1205]

Genius! The only change I would make is moving the lagun mount so the table swings over the driver side bench. I like to sleep with my head on the driver's side, and I like lots of room when I sit up to swing my legs out of the bed.

[@mattmullen46]

Great point!

[@dross24MA]

Someone else said similar thing further up --> moving it to use as a night stand. I would like two, one for night stand and one as is for prep/work area.

[@deeplansandbudgets]

This is the exact floor plan I would build.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Go for it

[@susans8539]

Impressive! What a wonderful setup.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks!

[@88Kidlat]

Very nicely done! GOOD JOB!!!

[@277kne]

Too many things compliment you on. I'll give you a few. I like the white color cabinets. And the white oak looks good. Especially like the round corners on the counter extension.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Great feedback

[@shawnnakaminski2104]

I like the water fill on the inside. I get that there is no way around having some things on top of the van. I like keeping it as stealth as possible.

[@dross24MA]

Also, having the water fill on the inside prevents anyone from prying open the fill cover and contaminating the supply. (Trusting soul that I am...)

[@stephennowicki7158]

Really nice and professional! Good job!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you very much!

[@edwineugene2715]

Great workmanship in the van, and l like the design inside! 😊 Good job 👏 👍

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you! 👍

[@Shoebutie]

Terrific looking van

[@johnjuza2659]

Love this design!!!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you! Cheers!

absolutely amazing

Always stunning work matthew!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks again!

[@mattmullen46]

why thank you Courtney!

[@karenshirley5449]

Very, nice, thanks for sharing

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@hahamee]

this is exactly the same design that I have in my mind. 🎉

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Oh cool!

[@delisaseale5881]

Such a beautiful and practically built van. Very impressed. My one question has to do with the toilet. It didn’t look as if there would be leg room while sitting on it in the bathroom.

[@mattmullen46]

Left to right is a bit tight, but you can actually set the shower doors right out for *some* privacy, and face the toilet towards the slider window for extended leg space. Loo with a view!

[@WatersandWilderness]

Wonderful build.

[@moichinessmoira7028]

Nice and clean build. Love it!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks!

[@hld123]

Matt - what a beautiful build!

[@mattmullen46]

Thank you!

[@theJuniverse]

Personally, I love the twin bed the most. Too many small vans try to put huge beds.

[@mattmullen46]

We agree, not a fan of taking up half of your usable space if you’re not going to be keeping a bunch of gear (or people) inside. All about options

[@SuperClare]

Clean af. 🏆🏆🏆

[@polizovski]

Nice design and build.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks!

[@scoutfinch47]

A lockable water fill on the outside is cleaner and safer..I'd always recommend it.

[@Eyesis_1]

VERY NICE! TFS

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MotorcoachTony]

Wait, wait, wait. This van build is INCREDIBLE!!! As a wannabe perfectionist, this clean detail is like no other van build I've ever seen. From aesthetics to function to necessities, this is nothing short of BRILLIANT. But I'm sort of new to this channel, so help me out, please. WHO IS MATT? Does he work for NJOA? Does he have his own business? Does he have his own channel? How can he not??? Please tell all of us who aren't familiar, who Matt is, and how can we get him to build a van for US, or let us watch him build these 4 wheel perfection specimens in every last detail. I'm sincerely amazed. 😮💙😮 EDIT: Ok...I SWEAR I looked all over the info here to find out more about Matt, but I must have been enthused so deeply, my eyes missed what was very evident on the top portion. I can see where he is from, and am doing a deep search on the van company to learn all about it. I'm leaving the rest above this edit, because it all holds true. I can't tell you the number of times I shouted "YES!" when he talked about each feature I loved and was something "I" would want or would have done if I were talented enough to do this. lol. Favorite van build EVER.

[@mattmullen46]

haha wow! Thank you for the praise Tony, feels great to see small stuff we sweated over acknowledged. Our roots are in custom cabinetry, Franley Wood Products (hence Franley Vans). We've put our head down for the builds but will be posting more on the Franley Vans instagram going forward.

[@MotorcoachTony]

@@mattmullen46 @mattmullen46 FANTASTIC! Can't wait to see more. Now that I know you were originally a custom cabinetry company, it makes so much sense your attention to detail. From all the other comments I read, everyone felt the same way. Kudos Matt, to you and the team. Really looking forward to seeing what you present in the future. 👍👍

[@nbc902]

Great van!🎉

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

We agree!

[@lynnee.garland2854]

Love this

[@ss-mf3xm]

Beautiful

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Canoecamper]

Definitely not a problem to still have the water fill on the inside. Either would want that or a lockable panel so absolutely no way for a vandal to contaminate your water supply!

[@franb1958]

Very impressive. Love it!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Bioluvskatz]

Amazing build!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]
