Wow you built and designed this on your own? Very impressive. Beautiful van, well thought out design, and a beautiful color scheme I also love how externally it looks stealth; it does not look like someone lives in this van from the outside. Smart!! Well done.

[@ellaova]

Looks like he took some pretty hefty inspo from a channel called Drink Tea & Travel...not so original.

[@randyhammer7777]

Seriously, if you did that van build out yourself you are FAR more talented than you give yourself credit for. incredible.

[@yussieb2276]

Just came across your channel. It sounds like you've had a pretty rough year between losing your beloved car/home and then your girlfriend. But it certainly seems like you've channeled your energy into creating this beautiful work of art. I still can't believe that this wasn't professionally done. Anyway, congratulations on a job well done it looks very exciting. Wishes for a much better new year Stay safe!

[@TravelersTale]

Thank you so much!

[@sweettina2]

Aww, I didn't know he lost his girl! Well, he's a handsome guy, he'll have them beating on the van door soon.

[@xballsport]

Believe me, he didn't lose anything with that toxic girlfriend.

[@VanessaMallia]

You dodged a bullet honey!

[@phyllisburrell3523]

I agree with what seems like all comments, LOOKS AS GOOD AD ANY PRO BUILD. When it rains it pours. Life happens. Gear up nothing lasts forever. You are pretty resilient. Keep moving forward, onward and upward.

[@itsmichele]

I’d love to get the blue print for your conversion. Only thing Id add is a toilet:standing shower like a wet bath. Gotta get a shower every night. I’d be in Heaven quite literally. GREAT design. 👍🏽🙌🏽

[@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794]

I've seen sort of buckets on the floor by the sink with a hook up curtain that goes all round you & a shower attachment - but in reality would make a mess & you hardly have elbow room. Alternatively, you would have to sacrifice half the sitting area to make a wet room at the back and this means no permanent bed up against roof etc. Could just get a Tny House on wheels instead !

[@HardRockMaster7577]

Just get an RV for all that!!

[@LDSKIPPER1911]

I have a friend with a similar setup to this with the exception it’s a Mercedes. What he does is pay for a gold gyms membership and use their showers.

[@stonedog23]

There are a ton of builds with a dedicated bath and still there is plenty of space for seating and storage.

[@sashabenoit1518]

I have a couple of suggestions! 1. I would definitely insulate those back doors! It will make such a difference for temperature control, especially with draftiness and potential condensation. You could even add small, shallow shelves or, since you have the curtains covering anyway, hang storage racks/pouches/hooks for gear, tools and what not. 2. I would get a small emergency, dry flush or cassette toilet and put it between the 2 front seats while parked with window covers... that way the temperature will be more regulated and all you have to do is slide the partition door open and you've got a little bathroom, at least for emergencies if you don't want to leave the van. Also do you have something under your mattress to prevent mold? There's lots of products out there that take up virtually no space to put under it to prevent any condensation or mold/mildew. Also, have you heard of "Beddys bedding"? They are absolutely PERFECT for beds in vans, you basically never have to make your bed, and they're super comfy! And a little idea for in bed or just lounging on the couches, I would put a small reading light in the top corner on each side of the wall cutouts. That way you have a small light when your on the couch if you don't want the big lights overhead and you have a small reading light for when you're in bed that you can reach quickly if you need to put on a quick little light! Last thing I promise lol... there are super awesome bugscreens that you can put in your doorways, I couldn't live without them! Anyways, sorry for the novel I got a little carried away! Safe travels! 😊✌️💚

[@KapKen]

How about running away from the cold LOL.

[@andreamollo7130]

Good suggestions. Do you, yourself live in or have a customized van. This is probably one of the nicest van fit outs I've seen. Absolutely beautiful. This makes me want to invest in a van and trick it out. The only thing missing is a bathroom.

[@fonda7760]

As someone exploring my future van life options, I read most comments for suggestions. I appreciate your ‘novel’ suggestions!

[@Livewellwithtia]

This is my favourite van layout so far! Great build 👌🏻

[@frankiesmom7703]

You are a fascinating man. I could listen to you speak for hours. Great job on the build and the explanation of the finished product. You definitely are a engineer.

[@ecaryn.]

Let me add my Wow! to the chorus of very impressed viewers! You've done a fantastic job! I love everything about it. I hope for some additional build out videos but I certainly understand if you were just focused on keeping your head down and getting it done. Amazing work, Everest!

[@TravelersTale]

Thank you so much!!

[@eric9964]

I just had that feeling of 'home' yesterday! I was walking back to my van and all of a sudden started running because I was just so excited to get back. You summarized that feeling perfectly!

[@sassygeorgiapeach]

Absolutely beautiful! This is by far the best van conversion I’ve ever seen.

[@deloentertains3370]

Would've been if it had the bathroom tbh

[@Diorella_scent]

Well done 🎉. This is by far the best van (mansion on wheels) that I have been hoping to find in my now 2 years of extensive research. It is simply perfect, elegant and so sophisticated. I would however need a bathroom of some kind and bring myself to think about the toilet situation that grosses me out the least!! Then I would have to find a van builder here in Australia. Also, aircon is as vital as the very air we breathe down here. But your gorgeous creation has just knocked out all of the previous contenders in one strike 🎉 Thank you so very much for sharing your dream machine, and wish you an abundance of joy, health and happiness in the many kilometres ahead ❤

[@derekrichard9189]

Wow I’m very impressed!!! Seriously that’s one of the best builds I’ve ever seen ….

[@TravelersTale]

Thank you!

[@darlenedavis8690]

Love your van. It's so cozy and homey looking. I LOVE the barn door that you added. Such a great personal touch. The bed is amazing. Can't wait to see where you and your van take us.

[@desendean6488]

Nice conversion , never ceases to amaze me how many different ideas people can have for such short bit of space 12 feet bit of space , impressive that you did it in such a short space of time . I've been living and doing mine for the past two years and still only 80 % completed , well done fella 👍

[@teresasanchez9813]

Nicely done👍🏻!!! Love the modern look inside, once inside doesn’t even feel like your in a van. Best part is the elevating bed, you get to have both dinning table and a full bed. Congrats!!!

[@Cjs_Travelin_Van-Na]

Not only is this a beautiful van, but an excellent video. Thank you so much.

[@angelapietras1235]

This is definitely the best I have ever seen,it’s really been thought out properly,it’s a beautiful cosy van love the bed idea also.I would like a portable loo too.

[@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794]

Carry a potty like the old days !! 😉

[@roger7900]

This is really impressive. I have been looking at van tours for a period of 3-4 years and I must say your is one of the best I have ever seen. Good Luck to you!!!!

[@corporealj]

i’m so proud of u bro. this is the best van i’ve ever seen 😭😭😭

[@TravelersTale]

Thanks!

[@tp06]

I love the design! Great job!

[@AL-vw7kx]

Okay.... that's why I love the lift bed..... you can still have your dining/living area as well, definitely want this kind of designed.. but rather have the stove by the door .. basically opposite how it is.. plus shower at the corner behind driver cabin! other wise perfect for me!

[@LilyBecca]

Yes!!! Hot water on tap. That is so amazing! I have this at home, and it would be hard to live without. I think this is my favorite van build so far. I also love the white and wood.

[@dmb6559]

Amazing build-aesthetically beautiful and incredibly well thought out.

[@sharonpollard3969]

Totally impressed with all of your details, while maintaining aesthetics, of your van! Job extremely well done!! Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@TheWindcrow]

I found your channel yesterday. It's awesome that you are so motivated and your attitude is very positive which seems genuine. Keep up the good work .

[@lorisavino2225]

Amazing build and layout. So well thought out and super functional. Enjoy all your journeys.

[@doubled5037]

Outstanding!! Thanks for sharing and lookin for new winter adventures.

[@marshayerby3448]

Beautiful design. Lots of space. Love the bed

[@TravelersTale]

Thanks!

[@muriellehall4416]

This van is exactly how I want my van to be. You did your thing. Extremely cozy and very well done. You are incredible.

[@janetstonerook4552]

I love the head space. I used to crack my head so often in my little mini RV! And began hunching over and having bad posture to avoid that!

[@mrski4945]

Congratulations on a superb build!! It looks fantastic

[@polizovski]

Great build. Enjoy it. Well designed and built.

[@Graceology101]

I LOVE YOUR VAN SETUP ,THE COLORS REALLY POP OUT..THAT WOOD LOOKS REALLY NICE .

[@bobsnabby2298]

The most efficient inner build I've seen so far. There's a thought on every spot. The lifting bed / sofa alternative combo is top!.

[@mikefry5704]

Enjoy

[@wendygould4476]

Beautiful craftsmanship and ascetically a relaxing and tranquil space. You have every comfort, every convenience you need to live a fulfilling life. I’m impressed by your skills and overall vision to live life on your own terms. ❤️💛

[@fortheloveoflike3996]

Great video, love your van and your attitude towards looking after everything and exploring. The way you speak is exceptional, minimal ums and repetition, in one take! great work.

[@ZebaKnight]

This is a beautiful job. I took away from your tour (in addition to some practical ideas) how important it is to know what you want and how you actually live. It sounds easy, but it's not. Because you did that so well, you clearly love the result.

[@nathaniellafontaine8078]

This type of build was exactly what I’ve been looking for! Well done!

[@2specialkittys]

I love this van. Awesome job on this design

[@tinalaws7506]

What a gorgeous build! I actually feel like I could be completely happy in this van! Great job 👏

[@gauravchoudhary1489]

Best conversion

[@Jeremiah_Johnson139]

Quite a beautiful build! A very aesthetically pleasing, and serene feel. While I've seen more functional builds, this seems to suit your needs.

[@Ballygirl886]

Absolute best van build I’ve seen so far.

[@christopherroyluna2877]

Let ur mattress breathe so u wont have problems. Drill some holes on the board that supports it maybe. Stay safe.

[@elizabethm6657]

Light, bright, clean, roomy. Really nice.

[@1966cambo]

The other option you failed to mention regarding hot water heating is a diesel/hydronic system. That is the option I am going with because I plan to use heat exchangers for in floor heat and a recirculating shower. Thanks for sharing your build!

[@debbiemonkton7982]

Look forward to your new travels just keep being you . I love your van by the way good job done

[@SwellerVanDweller]

Pretty cool build! Mine is much more basic and built for sitting on the floor with cushions with the stove also at floor level, kind of Japanese style. But I appreciate all the thought you put into yours, like I did, to come up with something unique. 👌

[@eileenalexander]

Wow! The conversion is stunning Everest, well done. You've certainly come of age during these past couple of months, the world (again) is your oyster. When one door closes, another one opens. Enjoy, be happy and stay safe 👍😃🇬🇧

[@TravelersTale]

Thank you so much!

[@tmontes1974]

Love it dude, first time seeing you since snowplow. You’ve done a great job.

[@KourttneyL]

This is the best one I’ve seen. Wow. This is beautiful on the inside!

[@lindsayfranklin3452]

Wow just wow you've done an absolutely fantastic job on your van, it's perfect, are your videos, your trips are amazing, love the fact you go into really deep snow and nothing seems to bother you, with a smile and a laugh, oh I'll just calmly dig myself out if needed, such great content, it like we've all come along with you, we live it through you, I would just like to say a big thank you for brightening our lives it's a pleasure to watch, may you go far with your dreams we will all be here with you, all the very best, looking forward to your future choices enjoy your journey, stay safe and be happy.

[@lindabonomi7274]

Beautiful!

[@arianebihan6399]

Seeing you hard at work all summer was inspiring. It was definitely too hot to work on your van conversion right in the middle of the summer in Austin, but when motivation and talent are present, here's the result! Proud of you Everest! Keep the videos coming but stay safe ♥️

[@brianjohnsadventure]

Totally agree! He is the best. Can’t believe the level of work he put in during the hottest time in Austin. I was living in Austin at the time as well.

[@backpacker2417]

WOW, I have seen a lot of van conversions on you tube and this is my favorite.

[@WandafulWrldWide]

I’m so glad your channel came up in my feed. I love the thoughtful way that your van is set up and it is very aesthetically pleasing as well as functional. Love the ambient light on both sides of the seating area as well as the way the curtains allows soft light in when the back doors are open. The barn door is lovely and the closet win-win! I’m with you, I wouldn’t want to have so much work to do to get out of bed each day. What a beautiful build!!🎉

[@TravelersTale]

Thank you so much!!

[@larrykoroush6995]

Your van and layout is the best I've seen. Keep up the great videos

[@EstherLiberty]

You have a lovely homey van home Sure like the bed move up or down. Gives you more use of the space. I really like the indent behind the sofa. It looks more open

[@sweettina2]

Beautiful van, you did a wonderful job! Just found you, and subbed fast. I'm crazy about rv's, but can no longer travel, so I built a tiny house behind my mother's in Florida. I opened a vintage dolly store, then built a tiny doll workshop onto my tiny house. I used to take care of everyone else, then multiple sclerosis took my ability to totally live on my own. I had to retire early from nursing because of my health. I sold my home in Dallas and gave away nearly everything I owned. I had a grandmother that always used that old saying about life giving you lemons, so you make lemonade....well, it works. Never give up. I've never been happier in my life. One thing I had to have, a potty. Lord bless and keep you in your travels and adventure, I can't wait to follow along!

[@dottester3039]

What an amazing space, best build beauty I've seen fulfilling all your needs. Quite emotional.

[@karenolson5556]

WOW..WOW .WOW!!! GREAT LAY OUT AND ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL VAN!!!!!! ENJOY YOUR TRAVELS.

[@dividendbro6362]

Absolutely awesome build --- Do you think it would be possible to shorten ur countertop to include a small shower/bathroom? So cool man!

[@terryjeric7655]

Very beautiful van build ,without words.

[@80ZX]

The Van is Awesome Mate. Great job.

[@bloodswarms]

My #1 question for every van build I've ever seen on KZbin is: After installing the flooring, counters, insulation and everything else... How does that affect MPG?

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Wow. What a fabulous build!!

[@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794]

Brilliant! Marvellous! Wonderful! 👍👌👏

[@windspan20]

So nice....well thought out and planned. Best bed idea.

[@kathleenp9643]

Wow, you did an AMAZING job on this van. LOVE it.

[@KimBockBooks]

Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations and well done! Greetings from South Africa🇿🇦

[@ryansmurda1552]

Thats amazing! Very impressive!

[@christinegreen6421]

WOW. I love your van.

[@FosterScott]

So cool! Great job on the conversion. Would love to do something like this.

[@btapann]

Very nice layout, happy and safe travels! 👏🏼

[@kelleywimberley]

I love your build! I definitely want a happy Jack bed- I couldn’t make up a bed every time. I’m with you on that. Those mountain shelves are BEAUTIFUL

[@virginiabarber7999]

Beautiful build. Well-done!!

[@LilyBecca]

One thing I have noticed is that when the cab is walled off, it makes everything look more spacious and homey. If Inwas doing a van conversion, my number 1 priority would be to have the cab walled off.

[@maryhight6030]

I really love your layout. Safe travels ❤🎉

[@patshankle3281]

WOW that's amazing how you did that on ur own and it's someplace you can definitely be proud of. ❤😊you did a really good job on the conversion of making it into ur home. 💜 ❤️

[@WhiskyCardinalWes]

Great build! Not a bad way to travel!

[@eagleeye5890]

Great van build!!!

[@willow1141]

Wow! Really NICE! Travel lots more comfortable in your new van

[@operationhighjump4656]

Thank you so much for the introduction of this vehicle . It would have been even more exiting to see how it was build. Especially the entire interior. Soooooo awsome I love it this is brilliant. Thank you for your videos.

[@ryanduchschererjiujitsu7449]

This is by far, the nicest camperized van Ive seen. You could make these and easily sell them! Congrats on a beautiful rig! Well done!!

[@karengresser201]

Love your van! You have so many cool things and really like the aesthetics!

[@umie66]

Very cool, nice job!! Love the bed.

[@exploringwithhank]

Your van build is awesome!

the dream van🤩

[@bishnubiswa207]

Nice, love it!!

[@emepleez]

Well done!!!!

[@FranciscoVargas-we8sb]

Beautiful

[@racheljustrachel2732]

I would put a shower pan on the door entrace and a shower curtain. And shorten the cabinets in the entrance door. I would put the stove near the window . And put the sink where your stove is now.

[@sandrahawkins7515]

Love the van. Excellent job to make it yours!

[@janetmariaburke4208]

You've done really well with the design of you your van/home.

[@scottterry2606]

WOW!
