Two New Vans! Sprinter/Promaster. Two Awesome Floor Plans!

[@edbyron3483]

George, two great designs and look forward to the detailed builds. Your community of followers are so passionate - it is like a national research firm making suggestions to solve every day issues..That makes you a Genius!!! You are like the enigizer bunny never slowing down or resting. Congratulations on your two new concepts.

[@HumbleRoad]

Many thanks Ed! Will we ever get a chance to travel together again?

[@TradShowTom]

Absolutely loving your Swinging Shower Closet. Pure genius!

[@HumbleRoad]

Glad you like it!

[@geoffsimns8424]

George, glad to see you are taking life easy - you deserve it... Just in case someone hasn't told you, you are a genius, a genius, I tell you - the way you approach your designs and incorporate beauty and practicality can only be explained in one way - you are a beautiful genius - now don't let that go to your head - oops, too late - no, I know it didn't, because you are humble - it's right there in the name. Love what you do, George. Stay well, stay safe.

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you Geoff!

[@laurelaugustine6189]

I LOVE THE PANTRY SHOWER. Brilliant.

[@johnmca5643]

Agree.....I've never seen that. Absolutely a great use of typically dead space.

[@alearnedlife]

Can’t wait to see them. With the beauty of the last build and these floor plans, I think it will be amazing!

[@HumbleRoad]

Can't wait!

[@kathleenreyes4345]

Two very creative floor plans, George!! Great job. Can’t wait to see your progress on both of them!

[@HumbleRoad]

You and me both!

[@avocado3748]

Wow 2 entirely different designs - very nice!

[@romlyn99]

Watch a lot of van builds videos and the retractable shower door seemed like a must in van shower, light weight and self cleaning. But I always thought the shower area was lost space and wondered how you could utilize it for storage and still use the retractable shower door. You just answered that question. You are a genius! Loved both designs. I wish there was a van builder like you in my country. You are brilliant. I can't wait to see the finished product.

[@dancarroll6349]

George, I’ve been following your channel for the last two years and have consistently marveled over your seemingly infinite energy and creativity. The high quality products you and Alex are building have a wonderful aesthetic appeal. Your builds are works of art!

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you Dan. I approach them as more of an art creation than a van build.

[@TheHills7777]

Yes, indeed, you are genius! I finally found a van build that's fits my taste (face to face dining is a must).. love the subtle humor. Great videos 😁

[@HumbleRoad]

Awesome, thank you!

[@TheSkiseeks]

Brilliant!!! I really like the folding bed to allow space for a dinette.

[@HumbleRoad]

Me too!

[@mcooper5929]

Your designs are amazing. I'm voting for you in 2020.

[@annkaufmann2549]

George you are a GENIUS!!! Loved the Carry's van and I can't wait to see how the two new vans turn out. You and your son are true craftsmen and your work is OUTSTANDING!!! Thanks for all your hard work and thanks for sharing your journey with us!! Take care and God bless!! XOXOXOXO from the Heart of Dixie.

[@MamaKim.]

That hidden shower is inspired! Really like the fold down bed / extra worktop system too. Nearly forgot the desk with a view! Great design

[@HumbleRoad]

Thanks so much!

[@guigomusa]

It’s always a MUST to watch your videos. It only gets better and better!!!!

[@ronwiejaczka8635]

Another great design by George. I will give you a 👍 for the hidden shower design, you surely maximize the van space. Thanks again George.

[@HumbleRoad]

Thanks 👍

[@ginnyhorn2708]

Brilliant George!

[@pierre.a.larsen]

Both plans look real good. A mixture of plan 1 and 2 would also be real nice. The fold away desk and the hidden shower combined with the large kitchen, dinette and folding bed. Anyways, I look forward to the builds. There will be tweaks and the end result will be amazing of course.

[@wdb391]

I can’t wait to see the desk and flip open shower. You really do meet the specific needs of the client and the end result has always been spectacular. Thanks for including us while you build.

[@HumbleRoad]

Coming soon!

[@sereniebellini8973]

Always intrigued by your floorplans... the layouts may not be ground breaking but you never fail to put your stamp on the design and your spin in the execution. I'm looking forward to the progress videos and I can already imagine it being fabulous!

[@HumbleRoad]

Thanks so much!

[@lindak8664]

I love that secret shower idea, very clever. Showers take up an annoying space to use ratio. I’m concerned about dampness and mildew though. Leaving the cupboards open may be inconvenient or annoying for whatever reason. Maybe put a fan and vent in that runs automatically for however long after the doors shut to absolutely ensure the cubicle is dry. You’re probably already 10 steps ahead of my ideas 😊

[@HumbleRoad]

If you shower in a van you should wipe it down afterwards. But yes, I will include an exhaust fan to assist.

[@johnskinner200]

It's a pleasure to watch George continue to create options after his collaborative conversations with these van owners. I think this attribute alone is a golden-value-added bonus for anyone considering a van build. That said, there's always at least one breakthrough design element that appears in each new van build that I get excited about! There's one I recognize in these two new floor plans I can't help but admire. In the Ram 3500 plan it's the dual purpose pantry-storage-shower foot print. I'm reminded of the best tiny house designers, or those micro apartment designs I've seen from Japan where living spaces are modular, and commonly dual use. This is a brilliant use of space in a van, and I can't wait to see how George and his son design and execute the concept.

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you John. These two clients truly understand the potential of the creative process.

[@saywhat7150]

Love the bathroom concept. That cover-up with front cabintery is Handy for a safe to hide valuables. I like the layout video before the build. Thank you.

[@HumbleRoad]

Glad you liked it!

[@maitildamcintyre9344]

OMG I can’t wait to see your beautiful builds take shape and the artistry you and Alex will bring. With two simultaneous builds you’re definitely going to need to bring all the George’s out to help. I often go back and watch your videos and was doing so yesterday when I came across the one with all the George’s lol. You will always be my favorite builder to watch. Stay safe and healthy 😷❤️

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you Maitilda. This is going to be a great build series!

[@jimeckert607]

George! These are unbelievable floor plans!!! Wow, wow, wow! I'm so excited, and they're not even my vans.

[@HumbleRoad]

Thanks Jim!

[@Ajuster62]

Great idea to put the desk across the entrance. Also appreciated the creation of the shower space by folding out full-height cabinets. Nice plan on the Promaster George.

[@paula.jackson5463]

full cardboard build walkthru, you amaze me!

[@crv20051]

George, thanks for taking the time to post and share these updates. That Merc will be cozy with two big dogs! Look forward to seeing the cardboard mock-ups.

[@plainjane8920]

Love the detailed designs, perfectionism and pride in a job well done. You are always thinking how to make things better !!!

[@MultiPJoys]

My first thought about the desk was to hinge it to the kitchen side and store the drawer section on top of the toilet but it might be too heavy to lift and too much hassle. I would add a slide out table underneath the desktop for when your sitting in the passenger chair. Can´t wait to see these builds, especially the unique hidden shower design 🤩

[@FreedomStrider]

Lovely base designs 😃 - For the desk, instead of flipping it up, why not swivel it 90 degrees (preferably inward towards the toilet block). That way, if there is stuff onto the desk that is still in use, you wouldn't have to move everything off the desk to get out. Can't wait to see how they both turn out.

[@HumbleRoad]

Your swivel idea is spot on! I might also incorporate a hinge up and down behind the passenger seat. Options!

[@mattburns7286]

Glad to see your "retirement" is really taking off.

[@HumbleRoad]

😄

[@stuartboyd6340]

That shower unit and cupboard is such a clever idea

[@mannycarrero2487]

Great designs. I love the hidden shower layout.

[@jameslamb7300]

Another way to incorporate a Desk in the van is to use a design like Winnebago used for it's forward bunk that used a scissor mechanism to lift the bed over the driver and passenger for stowage while driving. Those van's have the space to use that design for a desk that raises and lowers. That way you can leave your desk cluttered with your desk stuff.

[@HumbleRoad]

A perceptive idea, but the sliding door entrance is the lowest point in the van for entry and exit. My client is on the taller side.

[@jameslamb7300]

@@HumbleRoadGeorge, I think having a desk is a great idea! As I was watching your design unfold it came to me that people like messy desks and utilizing the space above the driver would allow people to hide there messy desks... (Grin) The location you have chosen is a great use of space! Imagine a "U" shaped seating area that would back up to the passenger seats with a desk chair folding out of the couch with a desk stored above the drivers area... And a dining table that rose from the floor that could retract to bed height utilizing a rear kitchen design like HR1?!?! (Ha! Vans are great spaces)

[@bobbymcknight6671]

Really loving the dual purpose spaces you have designed. Very creative. Hope you do a fully modular set up in the future.

[@alliejr]

Your thoughtful engineering is impressive.

[@cmezzane]

Multipurpose design with "Options" Love it. Can't wait to see these complete.

Wow those two van built are going to be so beautiful can't wait to see the next episode.

[@md51236]

The space saving pantry in the shower is brilliant.

[@TravelingSag]

These vans get better with each build!

[@donjones3355]

They both look great George. Can't wait to watch the build series on both vans.

[@bromz8]

Love the build. I was working on a similar shower design but half height for counter space and a window on that side. Love it, your creativeness is outstanding. You remind me of my Dad in many ways.

[@daviddickerson495]

This Sprinter floorpan is almost exactly what I have drawn out for my future RV build or renovation.

[@riftgod6169]

Love these types of videos! would love to see one with a 144 sprinter or a smaller van

Noted!

[@exploringoptions9747]

That hidden shower is amazing! You're brilliant!!

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you! 😊

[@statewidefilms]

Couldn't believe there would be that many designs you could come up with. Ì think the swinging cupboard doors from inside the shower space is one of the best ideas of dual purpose I've seen so far.. that's brillance so far . Very inventive ..

[@HumbleRoad]

Thank you!

[@mayinnlin1879]

Thank you George for sharing! Love it. Wowww! It's amazing build and beautiful as always. 👍❤️

Just when I thought I'd seen it all. Very excited to see these two beautiful designs come together.

[@HumbleRoad]

You and me both!

[@vita-girl4345]

I love how everybody has different ideas and needs for their builds. It’s about time somebody asked for a desk in their build too! I’m not so sure about the secret shower though, seems like trouble down the road.

[@pierre.a.larsen]

Yeah - a desk would be my priority #1

[@vita-girl4345]

@@pattymcclimans4447 the drain to the grey water would be in the same cabinet as food stores or clothes. This can cause mold or odor transference. Even if plugged, I think it would get through.

[@lemonherb1]

@@vita-girl4345 So adding some vents would help with that. And they can build a sealed cabinet like the dresser in the Vagabond build

[@sarahjackson6714]

Both of them are very nice!

[@HumbleRoad]

I think so too!

[@SamSung-ew3dk]

George: You truly fit the definition of the “Renaissance Man”. Can’t wait to see these builds.

[@srahmidewi8427]

I love the hidden bathroom idea. Was thinking how to fully utilized the space but still getting easy access to it

[@spellmadam2947]

Great ideas

[@24hourtravellers]

Love the double use of shower n wardrobe.hinges!!

[@jamesgill5511]

Hey George, I'd like to point out a real life concern with the ProMaster build. Being that the Promaster is front wheel drive it is best to keep as much weight(fridge/freezer/water tanks) as far forward as possible. When traveling up hill a lot of weight can be transferred off the drive wheels. If you check out Trent & Allie's channel you'll see it happened to them quite a few times. They actually got stuck in the middle of a hill because the front tires would just spin when any torque was applied.

[@HumbleRoad]

Good point!

[@Eyagsf]

Wow😳 Love the Sprinter layout💙 !!

[@elizabethpeterson4029]

I truly admire the ingenious imagination of your art!! I can see why you only do a couple a year....so much attention to details & creative ways of getting so much in small spaces. Brilliant Only thing, I wanted to see the cardboard 'build ' Peace

[@deborahgiles3649]

Awesome as always! I love your videos.

[@N3pea]

The hidden shower left me speechless and so excited at the same time. I wish I could afford for a van and the build from you. JUST MARVELOUS!!!

[@rexgold101]

George.. loving your videos so far.. Can’t wait to see these vans being converted to full build..

[@johntatman9168]

George your plan for the Promaster shower is brilliant. Never seen it before but I feel we will be seeing a lot of it from this point on.

[@issamusharbash6486]

Hey George you know what you should do for the table, you should have it on a linear motion that can lock in place whereever you want so you can move the table top of the desk towards the front seat (for sharing purposes obviosly) and then once the table top is moved towards the front passenger seat it can easily be lifted up attached by some sort of pivoting hinges and stored away, if you understand what I mean, this will make it easy to store the tabletop and also will make it nicer for sharing the table if needed :)

[@dg5433]

I would subscribe if all you ever did was post your floorplan ideas! Keep them coming George, You have a great eye for innovation!

[@lindac7146]

[@HumbleRoad]

I totally agree!

[@jaygarcia6176]

Well done HR. You have evolved your ideas where 1 = 2, maybe even 2.5 to 3 depending upon how your initial design idea develops and adjusts during the build. Closet/drawer/pantry space = shower stall space - genius! Bed 1/3 "end" board becomes extra large prep area, or sitting area - genius! As far as your craftsmanship and quality of product - incredible top-end engineering/build standards - unmatched.

For the folding desk top sounds like a piano hinge mounting two drawer slides would work. When in the desk position the drawer slides are in the extended position. To open the top is flipped up and the drawer slides then retract.

[@HumbleRoad]

Nice

[@michaelrs8010]

Thank you for your video. Right now I'm just kind of winging it in Sienna minivan, but I hope to upgrade to one of the smaller Promaster's soon and build it out. I was kind of lamenting because I would like a shower in it, but due to space constraints I figured I was just going to have to settle for standing in a bucket with shower curtain wrapped around me and a flex hose shower nozzle hanging from a wire hang coat hanger 😄. But the idea of those removable cabinets recessed into the shower stall is brilliant!

[@benvernick]

Greetings from your neighborhood Philly Chef. Awesome job George, the hideaway shower is brilliant! Have seen similar in Euro vans. One of these days were going to make the most incredible kitchens in a van the world has yet to see! Unfortunately I got laid off, not a surprise though, restaurants are getting killed by this pandemic. But we will over come...

[@HumbleRoad]

UGH! Sorry to hear that Ben. But yes, good times and bad times, both temporary. I've been busy, but that doesn't mean I have softened on your idea for a pop up Al Fresco dinner prepared in a Humble Road van. The timing is perfect! You know, these next two owners might be open to an event like that! Surely their galleys will be adequate.

[@benvernick]

Humble Road keep me posted if they are interested I am game! In fact it’s funny I had talked to the Vagabonds about me starting a KZbin channel dedicated strictly to Van/RV cooking, they had some great advice for me. That pop up would be a great way for me to kick off my channel!
