Yasssssssss, I cn easily do this bed set up everyday. So, this is the first build tht lve seen, tht l literally would not hv to do any changes to. It fits my exact nds. I hv blueprints & l cnt believe, their a near match. Not many modifications whatsoever.... I'm actually taken aback by this magnificent build. For me, l want to be able to walk front to bk, use cab seat(s) on a 360' swivel for more in van seating, hv a full bathroom w dry bucket system, hv a full functioning kitchen w full undermounted (double) sink, plenty of cabinet & storage space, hv a bed tht l dnt hv to mk up everyday, but cn be use easily, (be it murphy or elevator) & cn be put up out of the way for sofa lounging on both sides. As well as outdoor shower accessibility. This is awesome & it's beautiful. Grt job...thxs for sharing & be safe.

That bed is great! I've seen similar ideas once or twice from HiJack, I think it is, but they leave big metal racks glaring out from the walls. Your system makes your van's interior look very long and keeps it homey rather than industrial-looking.

Thanks! Thats why we chose to go this route. Plus the cost was significantly less.

This van is awesome! Do either of you have a background in engineering or design that helped you build this van?
@Drinkteatravel3 жыл бұрын
Nope. Just KZbin ;) We did renovate an Eco Lodge in Costa Rica that we own so that was a bit of experience.

Do you have info on your eco lodge for when things open up for travel?

I have a suggestion, why don’t you glue the little mat thing underneath the bed? That way you don’t need to put the Mat thing every time you move the bed down

Wow this is fantastic considering converting a van too and traveling, also hello from 🇮🇪! I’m very curious to how you go about washing your clothes? 😁

We typically go to a laundromat. They are all over the place here.

Just Amazing simple/clean/compact design. LOVE the shower/bath room in front. Will copy your design for my van conversion if/when I have time to purchase the van and start to. Thanks for sharing. Really LOVE your VAN.
