[@reneefrance6921]

So functional I always wonder why solo traveller's have queen size beds. Definitely makes sense and creates a lot of space with a twin bed.

[@kamikazitsunami]

I'm sure they're hopeful that they won't always have to sleep alone every night. 😂

[@AnnieGill7]

Never know who You might meet! 😂🤣😆

[@MarineAlli]

So they can get laid?

[@irenegarbrah4901]

My thoughts exactly.

[@marciamonti]

When my man comes to visit, I have him take me to the Ritz Carlton. Lol. 👸

[@shantelstonehouse]

After watching hundreds of different van life’s this is the best one I’ve ever seen, I love that the bed is to the side with the shower up the corner, the kitchen is so full of storage it’s amazing, and your seating area is in the best possible place to catch the views… is absolutely stunning!!

[@DrifterVans]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy ☺️

[@Deekers2020]

I’ve watched hundreds of van build videos. I never understood why single people always seem to put in a full size bed. You were spot on. Exactly what I would do if building out a van.

[@mikalabaker6110]

A lot of them have a queen sized beds, takes away so much room!

[@Selfcarebae077]

This is my favorite van build and I've seen thousands

[@DrifterVans]

Thank you! That means the world to us.

[@theartistjodievans]

I agree! And I’ve been looking for YEARS.

[@kellyu765]

Everything is fantastic but I would never have gotten rid of the toilet!! For me for late night emergencies would be a must for me!!

[@suzigrekin8849]

100% need a toilet

[@kiwigirljacks]

I’ve been waiting for this yayyy 😁 I’m obsessed! This van is exactly what I’d want. I know she said she would move the pantry up front, but I actually like the separation of the spaces…it makes the part that has the electrical in as a get ready station (I’d put a mirror above that) and you have the bathroom and bedroom there too (I’d keep a chemical toilet in the shower area). Then you have the kitchen/lounge area separate, and you get the view from the couch outside if you have the door open 🙂 I would absolutely love to have this van. A few tweaks here and there to personalise, but otherwise it’s PERFECTION.

[@DrifterVans]

Thank you!!

[@TC-yc6dm]

Me too!

[@DanielleSamoneJohnson77]

Holy Cow, Batman! This van is meant to be on the cover of Better Homes! It's beautiful and so well organized. Stunning 👏🏾💕😍

[@DrifterVans]

😄 Thankyou so much! Glad you like!!

[@RRE769]

I agree. Out of ALL of the pics I've seen so far, this one always takes my breath away. I keep replaying the video over and over.

[@blossomct]

WOW that's a beautiful home-van!! Love where the shower is too as so many are in the front. Love it!!

[@DrifterVans]

We are going to add this to our standard models this summer!

[@strawberryroad1347]

I like that the bed is to the side, and I love the double curtain idea.. It just makes sense, the light let's air in, without you having to watch whatever is going on in the front (mess) and then with both, it probably helps isolate better too. 😀 It's really a clever design, very different from most of what is out there. 👌

[@DrifterVans]

Thanks so much!

[@JackieArdoline]

This is probably my favorite van bills I ever saw. It looks so functional, but it is also very beautiful.

[@DrifterVans]

😄 super functional for a solo traveler!

[@JackieArdoline]

@@DrifterVans I agree

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

I have wanted to see a van with a single bed and this is beautiful. I don't see anything I would change! Well maybe the pocket shelves I would put a divider to half was open to inside and the other open to the back. The drawer in the back is genius!

[@kathrynpiche4864]

I find it amazing how people don’t have toilets in their homes, must be a real pain to have to search them out late at night or early morning.

[@DrifterVans]

Sometimes it’s not for everyone and there are many other ways to get access to a toilet while living in a van 😊

[@debbiefieldsdourte6842]

LOVE it! I've been looking for a van layout with a twin bed! Thank you SO much for sharing!

[@DrifterVans]

😊

[@susandunick6983]

This is a stunning lay out, well done ✅. I probably would change to a thetford oven gas stove instead. Otherwise I just Love 💕😊 it.

[@DrifterVans]

Thanks!!

[@connie1779]

Beautiful but, I would want a toilet. Where was the toilet?

[@DrifterVans]

She took out the toilet to make more room for storage!

[@cheersdarlin916]

I love this style of video. Being able to hear about a build after someone has been living in it for a while and what they like and what they would change. Very helpful when planning what I want/need.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

The two things I would have in such a great place is putting sliders in/on the long cupboard shelves and however possible a tiny bit larger bed. -Because sometimes I sleep like I am in a Zumba class. Otherwise the design in this home is speaking the most to me of the hundreds of other rigs I’ve watched tours on.

[@mandakayx3]

Your team did great! I love all the storage and it’s so unique! Love all the light colors as well :) can’t wait for mine! I also like how you guys did the tour after she lived in it so we can see what she would change. Great job :)

[@DrifterVans]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@mikalabaker6110]

This is my favorite layout so far! Love the single bed idea. Yiu have everything, except where'd you put the toilet? You can store it in the shower? Anyway, beautiful spacious layout!

[@DrifterVans]

She took the toilet out for more room for storage!

[@karenthompson8038]

Beautiful but how do you go to the bathroom if you took the compost toilet out?

[@jesaminetehuia9098]

That is a very elegant van conversion. A king single bed is a brilliant idea for a solo traveller. Really like the layout and the little touches. It has a warm homely feeling especially with the sheer curtain - that definitely doesn't make it look and feel like a van. When I saw that I thought it was a different setting and then said wow that's really nice. Well done.

[@DrifterVans]

Thank you! So glad you like it 😄

[@johna.a.9829]

Great build - what about a toilet? All the toys, all the storage, but no toilet?

[@DrifterVans]

There used to be a toilet, however she decided to take out the toilet for more storage!

[@joanfraser6500]

Beautiful design, but why wouldn't you have a toilet? You removed it from under your couch area and decided you didn't need one... curious.

[@DrifterVans]

Marcia took out the toilet to make more room for storage!

[@2011lindak]

I would have considered a cabinet door under the pantry, facing the shower for the toilet. Would have raised or shortened the pantry, but put the toilet back in the bathroom area. This van has a "master suite" feel, separated from the front day use area. Before I would always debate the open front vs the wall between the driving area. The curtain gives you both options and with the sheers it allows some privacy with difused light. Very nicely done!

[@pdmullgirl]

Love this van! One of the nicest ones Ive ever seen. Really nice. Makes me want one! ❤️💜💚

[@DrifterVans]

So worth it!!

[@snenhlanhlankutha1340]

Probably the best van van life conversion. The single bed and then bathroom is a great idea!! Such a beautiful van

[@DrifterVans]

Thank you so much!

[@sarajenner1989]

Best design for solo traveller I’ve seen (especially for females) - love it!

[@singingnomad5099]

Very nice! I dont see a lot of twin beds in vans and I have wanted one for my build. I dont understand solo travelers that have huge beds that take up so much coveted space. Well done!

[@DrifterVans]

Thank you!

[@mjlavallee2609]

Super functionality. You mentioned the composting toilet was removed from the one storage space. Where did it go?

[@samruddhi8381]

I believe she should make some space for the toilet.... But rest everything is amazing....

[@carlospar6896]

Love everything as u say u could remove the storage unit so u have more room in ur bed 🛏️ also where is ur toilet ???? U do need one

[@DrifterVans]

Marcia took the toilet out but it was in the bench.

[@MZDezi1010]

This was really a beautiful setup. I would definitely do a similar set up

[@Stasharenee]

Love it. I didn’t hear her talk about the heat and most importantly, the a/c that it appears she has. Can you explain these two??

[@RestorationRanchHealing]

Bravo ! Beautiful esthetically and functionality. Great space utilization also. I didn’t observe a rear safety or fire exit. Great job and happy travels. I do health and life coaching and nature is definitely the best space. Happy and safe travels . I have lived in a 40’ Bluebird Wanderlodge since 2014 name #The Beachnest

[@soulfullatina68]

seen several videos of European builds that have that bed/bath configuration. this is the first video I've seen of an American build with that config and I love it!

Yay, I was waiting for this one. It's really cozy inside. Well done Drifter Vans. That's a ton of storage.

[@DrifterVans]

Thank you!! Storage is so important 😄

[@deanatruppa5452]

There's no toilet?

[@DrifterVans]

Marcia took out the toilet to make more room for storage 😊

[@arosefortes6507]

Beautiful build! Some really great ideas. I like the kitchen and the fact it's built in two burners, though would be nice to see counter flush if it was possible. Loving the white, makes the space roomy, any added color can be in accessories that could be changed out if you want. So much to like!

[@DrifterVans]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@eileensvarczkopf1914]

Beautiful build...thought! Could you sleep at the other end of the bed?

[@BrittMFH]

Great idea! 😃👍

[@evangelistsianneanderson]

I LOVE IT! 😍 This is just like the Winnebago Travato 59G floor plan that I love but better. I love the garage space which is very important to me.

[@DrifterVans]

Thank you! So glad you're liking the floor plan.

[@mmqqq8246]

The shower cubbies should have long rollouts flats or drawers to store towels and bathroom supplies and oohhh those cabinets right at your head ...oohh claustrophobia....id love to see the shower open to the back and the cabin like walk in shower then go inside clean and degermed ....

[@DrifterVans]

Good ideas! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@phoebevanderhorst7760]

My question is, since the compostable toilet is now gone, what has replaced it?

[@DrifterVans]

She made room for more storage!

[@peggymowery8804]

I agree with the cabinet above the bed! I too would feel claustrophobic! What if you slept with your feet tucked into the back part? Just a thought!

[@RE-bg9ds]

Dam it!!! She took my idea on the layout . I was hoping to be different. Get out of my head LOL. It's cool to actually see it outside of my thoughts . Its beautiful & totally functional

Best design as it have lot of storage the only issue is bed it's enclosed bed one can feel uncomfortable in small squeezed bed

[@cjatchley1]

You noted you took out the toilet, do you not have one now? I like the single bed concept.

[@DrifterVans]

No she does not have one now, she prefers having the storage!

[@AngelLuluBlu]

No toilet? That’s a must have. Period.

Beautiful build! I am surprised that you have a shower but no composting toilet. Also wondered about your power source- solar? And you didn’t mention a gray tank.

[@DrifterVans]

Thank you! She took the toilet out for more storage. And yes there is solar!

[@meetoobaa]

Those crystals will scare away most men. Is that why women love them so much?

i really like your design in the van but where is the toilet?

She took out the composting toilet they was under the bench seat. personally, I wound have a chemical toilet in the shower area that you can easily remove to shower. She likely just uses rest areas 👍

[@cherin6703]

I love that bedspread and I have the same one! My husband and I stayed in an AirBnB a year or so ago and it had this bedspread and I loved it - not just the design but the feel of it. So when I saw the tag and found it came from Target I immediately looked online and they still sold it! It's now on my bed at home :) Love your van.

[@DrifterVans]

Thank you!

[@DonnaCrow-HealingSchool]

Very pretty. I would like a queen bed, even as single person. It makes me wonder about using a piano hinge to split bed in half and flip the right side up to create the left wall of the shower. Then lay it back down to sleep on. And I think you are right. Removed the one cabinet over the head of the bed and move the pantry area to the front. All in all, I love your style. Very pretty.

[@carylfontaine3640]

Beautiful and so very functional..the cost of it all keeps me from living my absolute dream.

[@leannemeissner6344]

Waiting for the Extra High Roof (extended) Pro-Master. This is pretty perfect. I'd lose the cabinets over the bed to be able to put artwork - put in a Marine grade sunroof (hatch) over the bed that pops out adjacent small roof deck. Max-Air fan over the vanity to circulate shower steam, etc. out of the van. Froli system and slats under the bed. L-shaped Lazy Susan shelves that rotate 1/2 under the bed (into the dead inaccessible space at foot of bed) and 1/2 under the end of the kitchen counter for pots/pans etc. Foot of the bed - install dog crate for my pup, just behind the L-shaped Lazy Susan. In the slant cut of the bed, install progressively larger drawers in the dead space between the dog crate and the Lazy Susan cabinet. Just above those drawers, a pull out counter top on the diaganol plane of the bed for extra work space in both kitchen and girly vanity area, also could be a standing desk. Open shelving above the couch placed higher for headroom and a small window for airflow and light. Toilet in the shower that can be accessed (emptied) from back door of van (?). Nailed it - great design.

It's like KZbin listens to me! Great find and great attention to detail on the builds! I have been looking for a van built for a solo traveler with a bed that matched! She is correct though The cabinets in the sleeper area are too much. This shiplap looks almost like a french cleat system if so double bonus as I use that now in my home and I could transport baskets from home to weekend travelers. Well done @DrifterVans Well done and ironically Marcia and share the spelling as well as the name. Freaky!! The Oliva is also awesome I pray you are still around when I can afford the dream.

[@cowpunkability]

This is great but it would be nice to know what price this was. Maybe people don’t want how much they bloody spend on these things like this is a house. Yeah it’s really clever it’s adorable but I mean… It’s something a bunch of engineers put together. It’s extremely expensive. It’s a house. Just as an old woman living in a freaking van, I love it it inspires me it’s awesome, but it also kind of hurts a little because a lot of us are trying to live in advance to have some shred of dignity and if I had 200,000 even 100,000? Yeah, I guess mine would’ve had a groovy little slide out shower and ship lap boards and boards and a cool twin bed yeah I’m jealous, lol let’s just face it…

[@davidw_52]

Great design, I just came across Drifter Vans and have been very impressed with their work. I won't be able to afford a Sprinter style motorhome, but was always my plan, Instead I have a Class C which was 110,000 dollars cheaper. But I love to see what great new floorplans but more importantly the tech. Now a 12V Air Conditioner will run off the batteries, along as you have good solar or genterator/solar panels you should be good to boondock.

[@mildredwebster2822]

Very impressed!!!!. You actually have room then most small homes. Love all your storage. Agree with the shelf next to the bed

[@DrifterVans]

Thank you!

[@vanessahenry7238]

OH WOW! This is the first Van that actually has more room then I would need! I have a question for anyone though - Would I get to spoiled and start packing more then I would need if I did have that much storage? STILL! This is the best one~~~

I do wonder how long these live in vans last and what kind of maintenance they require. Do they have some kind of special treatment that prevents erosion by sand and sea salt off one spends a lot of time near the ocean?

[@DrifterVans]

There definitely is more maintenance on a van, but it all depends how often you drive and where you drive to that would potentially corrode the outside😊
