VAN TOUR | Tons of Smart Ideas in this Spectacular Conversion | Our VANLIFE Tiny Home

[@arvison9]

This van design should be awarded as one of the best van design ever. Genius.

[@fridakahlua6674]

I agree 100%

[@beck2929]

A van with a toilet and without a shower? Very functional…

[@marianlumictin2325]

Totally ageee👍

[@phongluu1505]

Add an external shower easily with a standing-shower-curtain ring near the water tanks. Use foot pump to pump out water.

[@nadbwah282]

Finally I found THE most perfectly designed and built van according to me !!!! You can not imagine how much videos I've watched since 2012 !!! From tiny houses to self sufficient diy cabins in woods, and so ... This van is THE most well thought and well designed and built van that I ever seen !!! Looking forward to downloading all the PDFs for the build ! Thank you for sharing this awesome project and ... for designing and building it ! Cheers.

[@sebastianweber5258]

Where can you download the blueprints from? That van ist just amazing! Stealing so many things from them for my own van

[@erdinceraslan3045]

exactly

[@Bigthox22]

where are the blueprints

[@-.acnm.-]

Sebastian Weber I don‘t know for sure but I‘m guessing you‘d be able to find them somewhere on their blog

[@bizim_eller]

Most perfectly designed!! 🤔🤔🤔 Cause I can't survive in the least perfectly designed one, no sirry no!!

[@melissahankoff4034]

This is the BEST build that I’ve seen since watching KZbin for over 2yrs❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ And the artwork is BEAUTIFUL 😍 Way to go U2😎🤩😍

[@ExploringAlternatives]

Thanks so much Melissa, happy you enjoyed the tour :) :)

[@lorirugato6463]

I just love your van and the artwork is so peaceful ❤. I'm looking forward to watching the build.

[@mariteremera8641]

💯 agree‼️

[@barbibutton9619]

Yep!

[@barbibutton9619]

@@ExploringAlternatives very very smart functionality - WOW

[@DukeOfChirk]

The rope/pipe idea is ingenious, and I’m stealing that table idea!

[@dellam04]

I have seen so many vans and this is the best floorplan I've ever seen.

[@papajoe6254]

Hands down the best van build I've seen and most functional layout. The ART WORK is just icing on the cake . WOW just love it all.

[@VanessaAdam]

This van is still my favourite out of the 100’s we have toured. I love the way it feels and it is so cozy for a small space. The natural products you used from the insulation to the finishing oil make it one of the cleanest and eco friendly builds out there. All of the research and hard work paid off and we are so happy that you now can enjoy your beautiful home together as you share everyone’s stories through your channel! Miss you and hope to see you soon!

[@ISpeakHTML]

I hope they know they’ve made the best van I’ve seen on KZbin, I’ve put wellllll over 500 hours into vanlife videos

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Just watching videos?

[@susanmoreno3520]

I agree, one of the BEST van designs ever! The wood and the art work are so warm...truly a beautiful space. Thanks for sharing all your tips.

[@The_Red_Pill__]

This is one of my favorite van conversations! Brilliant, well/thought design throughout. The only things I would change are: have a cutting board that fits the sink hole (easy fix), have a slider counter top to cover the fridge, and a composting toilet. I really love this camper conversion.

[@HumansOfVR]

that looks like one of the *_sweetest_* van builds!

[@DeePaignall]

This sets the new standard, brilliant!

[@thevideostump46239]

Agreed!

[@Warmfireandtea]

Bet you're happy to be one now with CoVid19.

[@genwords1789]

Ahh...that makes me like you guys even more thst you donated one of your solar panels to someone in need.❤❤

[@nicolemayer1671]

after all the tiny alternatives you have featured you have done a great job taking all those ideas and making a beautiful home for yourselves:) a long way from the minivan!

[@amyblack9251]

I LOVE that you built the frig into a countertop cabinet! They didn’t really didn’t lose countertop surface with that.

[@OkieJammer2736]

I've taken so many notes from your WOW! video. Brilliant. Creative. Ingenious. Absobloominlutely AWESOME!

[@marcelashagash5808]

This must be the smartest van that I have seen, everything was very thoughtful. Thumbs up!

[@lenniemargretheragnhof6174]

Very clever, very well thought out I'm quite impressed! A bit too much plyewood to my taste.

[@ian.new.life.]

Apart from the stove thats very unsustainable and disrespectful

[@Cmez872]

Genius build

[@deborahelaine9985]

I noticed that too,@@lenniemargretheragnhof6174, but I wouldn't want it too broken up colorwise or busy. Maybe paint some of it one or more colors? And maybe include some area of design - some wallpaper, fabric, mural or include a few very lightweight pictures/ posters? Upholstered cushions? I would try to imagine and plan where I want what color or design to make a good balance with some places of color contrast.

[@dianashelton1371]

What is the flooring

[@juchinchou]

I’m so tired of van tours... but I was soooo highly anticipating this one. Both in your videos and van build, it really reflects how well thought out your ideas are.

[@kathylowry4813]

The interior is a work of art by itself ! But the artwork by Mat is truly beautiful

[@TVCAVEMAN213]

It was nice to give some credit to those that helped, and those who had had helpful advice, and ideas 💡

[@ppkus]

Im so pumped to start my own van and im watching thousands of hours of van built videos, and I could say this very confidently, you guys have one of the best ones I have seen! I literally took notes of so many solutions u used and they are just great! Peace!

[@tomweber8729]

Fantastic, Beautiful, well done everyone !! I was a cabinetmaker my whole life, designed kitchens , closets , garage storage , laundry rooms , offices , etc . This is without a doubt the best van build I’ve seen in the last yr that I’ve been watching videos on van conversions. Looking forward to watching more of your videos , I’m retired now but reall want to build out a van and travel this country of ours. Thank you for sharing this beautiful project and again well done everyone!!!

[@skakpedersen]

Tom, I hope you will be able to take the steps to fulfill this dream of yours.

[@tallulahbeaverhausen4382]

That is one beautiful and very well thought out van. I love the layout and the artistic touch. Well done ! Best wishes and godspeed to you !

[@nadiaw246]

Holy Guacamole! Now that's a great van! The artwork is insanely beautiful.

[@MichelleWattGentry]

I love all the conveniences, the foot pump for water at the sink, the toilet fan, the Berkey water stand, the versatile bed, the swivel table, the blackout curtains, the wall art... I love it all, and the fridge is the perfect size for two people. The storage is unbelievable!!!! .You two are awesome, you thought of everything.

[@kristinells1235]

Brilliant! Just love these ideas! This is my corona-escape. Dreaming of van life.

[@sagilotus]

I watch can live video every day

[@Tim_Stodieck]

Same same!

[@michelelaganella925]

I spend hours watching these van tours. Funny....I, too, call them my Corona Escapes!!!

[@kunstundklartext1862]

Same!! 😄👍

[@hateiks2345]

Me tooo

[@xLCLIPx]

this is honestly the best build I have seen yet and, iv seen a lot of conversion videos!

[@TheBakingSlave]

They are both brilliant!! They both designed and built it from scratch. The amount of innovation is insane. I wish I had that sort of talent because it removes you having to pay someone else to do it for you.

[@karengossett564]

As an older camper for many years this AMAZING! I could live here very comfortably 😆 💕 👍 Best Wishes

[@AMANANNA]

This system is really great for us

[@abrezy825]

Most brilliant conversion I've seen! But I expected nothing less from you two ;)

[@AMANANNA]

They both are able to waving, very interesting

[@LilithsOwn303]

7:50 The table swivle with simple copper pipes is ingenious! They sell very expensive tables that do the same, but yours was really creative! Bravo! 11:10 that ridge that keeps the content of the wardrobe storage from pushing against the doors is a very smart move! The art on the walls gives it a nice, young dreamy feel to it. Like it!

[@creepingd3ath]

Everything, every detail in this van is SO clever and well thought out, I'm amazed.

[@wwiinnggnnuutt]

I love all the little details and especially the Artistic touchs. 💕

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I love their attention to detail. This is a great van and they really maximized the space. they make me think I might be able to give up my RV for a van someday. Well done.

[@deborahfortin9031]

ditto

[@collinterrell9593]

sorry to be off topic but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me

[@rylandreuben2250]

@Collin Terrell instablaster ;)

[@collinterrell9593]

@Ryland Reuben i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@collinterrell9593]

@Ryland Reuben It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out :D

[@carlacowling1789]

This van conversion is freaking brilliant! I can actually imagine living in that. I saved this so I canwatch again and I'm totally stealing that table idea.

[@leojoseph6385]

This was a great self-build and Thanks for sharing it! The multi-purpose bed/recliner/desk/dining area/storage access and the beautiful art really set this van/home apart!

[@edcpike]

Truly awesome design. Watched it twice and I’m showing this to my hubby. This is exactly the type of design I’m looking for. You kids did a great job!

[@anator18]

Yay I’m so happy for y’all. I just bought a van and currently am transforming it! You too are such and inspiration. Don’t stop!

[@sammospencer8641]

This is the best designed van that I have ever seen.

[@CrookedWarden]

Wow; love it! I could totally see myself living in this type of set up. Very clever and tidy.

[@ferrjerr]

I really appreciate that your build is budget conscious and simple. So many videos feature darn near professional builds that it gets disheartening. Thank you!

[@hamiltoneast]

Nice work! Your video is comprised of 100% useful information. No idle chatter or excess scenes. Great video, really.

[@ChazEvansdale]

I really like the elevated fridge. Most are pull on the ground and pull out, sure they may double as seating, but I like the idea of simply lifting it up and reaching in without bending over. Also you made it look like a nice countertop. Great idea! 👍😂❤ Screens are needed 100%; designs that don't have them bother me. Glad you have them! Amazing bed idea as well! Multi-functional without a lot of rearranging. I've made mockups of some of my designs and found that when things can transform they often just stay the way they're used most, so the don't even need another form, but with your design it's simple enough it looks like it's worth the minimal transforming!

[@QuiteDecent]

This is excellent. You guys did a great job. I'm also glad that you donated that battery to that girl. Her story was great as well 👌🏿

[@virginia_in_the_rearview]

I can’t imagine a more perfect layout! I could see myself living very comfortably in this van. Great work!! 👍

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

I like the use of simple materials and clever multi-function elements. Thoroughly thought-out elegant solutions to make things easy to access and use. Keeping it simple and smart!

[@mijodo2008]

Some of the most simple, basic but elegant van build solutions. Each minute is a treasure trove of valuable information. Intelligent, clever ideas. Very well done guys, thankyou so much for your timely video. Safe travels. Cheers from Michael. Australia.

[@gabimerlin]

Watching for the second time to pay more attention on the bed design, that is just THE BEST I've ever seen! Great work, thanks for sharing!

[@CruisingTheCut]

It looks absolutely fantastic! Love the animal designs ;-)

[@ExploringAlternatives]

Thanks so much David :) :)

[@afringedweller]

Love your website too; I was on it this morning!

[@jofuji8255]

Ha! Fancy seeing you here David 🇬🇧😉👍🏻

[@todb1180]

Some of the BEST designs I've seen in following vannies for over 3 years now - thank you for sharing! Also one of the most beautiful - the paintings and the light surfaces are spectacular!

[@babasofra]

This is beautiful and inspiring. I agree with A R who commented that "this van design should be awarded as one of the best van designs ever." I so enjoy following the life-affirming work you do exploring alternatives. Peace.

[@yvonnerodriquez8143]

Love the simplicity and natural design. All it needs is a space for daily personal cleansing and I would consider it perfect. Ty guys for sharing. God bless us everyone.

[@JoPaul]

Excellent, you Incorporated lots of ideas in such small space

[@MsLLMan]

I absolutely love this van. The thought that went in to every detail for a small space and the craftsmanship. Thanks so much for sharing. Bed design is awesome.

[@DC-kg3tm]

This is the most gorgeous van I've ever seen! You put so much thought into every detail. Amazing!

[@martinbrinley1725]

I have watched quite a few videos now and there are some brilliant ideas here .. Many of which do not require spending out a lot of money ; very encouraging.

[@stevewright6290]

A water pump, water heater and outdoor shower would make this complete... Love the couch / bed combo

[@mapleleaf0]

This was unusually beautiful, functional, and exceptionally well thought out.

[@melissatorres1968]

Paying for a membership at a gym in which can be found in most states is all so useful for showering options

[@innerstream]

M.T.A awesome idea if it’s a national chain....always a gym, shower, people, sauna... great idea

[@freespirit2364]

Mind Bender what is their annual fees ?

[@InfernosReaper]

Too bad when a pandemic scare happens, those places get shut down. So, you end up having to use truck stop showers instead.

[@schmatever]

Also good for hooking up with other couples...

[@Live-Life-Freely]

YMCA. I lived out of my car for fun and I paid for a YMCA membership. It was amazing.

[@Bluebirdray]

That's the coolest so thought out. Love how the holes in the cabinet exposes light.

[@TheJennflip]

The bed rope idea,the lid wire idea,so many more are ingenious ideas,beautiful build guys,you should be proud of that,I am jealous!!!!

[@dawnsmith4275]

How have I never seen this before?!?!? This is a spectacular build!!!!! Everything about it is perfect. Genius design and use of space. The time you put into planning is very obvious, and the craftsmanship is fantastic. I hope you're still enjoying this van 4 years later.

[@amrital9351]

The interior is very well designed, excellent space management .looks beautiful.

[@stilcrazychris]

You two did a great job. I'm so happy you finally got a home. Have a great day, Chris from Missouri

[@dancingemus]

I would love a deeper dive on how you built your bed, though this was already a good explanation! I want to make a similar one for my bus!

[@maryelizabeth7528]

Emma Levine how about buying a used futon and convert the slatted platform to suit your needs? You should be able to find one at a repurposing store like Habitat’s Restore...and the purchase goes to a great cause!

[@susanniz8080]

Genius. Love the bed/lounge/work/dining table. Clever toilet too. Nice artwork. First time I've seen a kitchen not overdone! Awesome.

[@rrhopewell]

I just watched the building of your van and totally forgot to say how beautiful the art work is. I think it amazing

[@theresa5059]

Congratulations on completing the van build. It looks amazing!!! 😍

[@DaDavidVids]

Certainly one of the most well thought-out designs in Vanlife. I'm shocked by how much is fit in there, especially storage-wise.

[@kathrynmayes6670]

Love your van, love how you share what you know and learned from others.

[@lone982]

Looks like an easy to convert bed/ table and seats. Much more practical than pulling the whole bed apart every day

[@astzfat3319]

LOVE your heron & whale! I've seen many many vans. Your clean, functional, simplicity makes for easy breathing!

[@lucylou5766]

Hooray! FINALLY, the perfect conversion. That table! The bed design! A beautiful aesthetic throughout. I love your choices in materials and low tech approach. Congrats you two. 👏👏

[@williamfurner6747]

Great patience in assembling the van! You are one of two I was certainly impressed with! Way to go!

[@DianeLSullivan]

Wow, you have really Incorporated the best features of everything you have observed and shared in your travels. I am so happy for you and can't wait to see what you do next😁

[@EdurtreG]

Honesty is the word that comes to mind. The frescos are mesmerizing, faint ( ? ) and yet so powerfull.

[@anisab9506]

Absolutely brilliant. Love the way you used plain pipes and easily accessible materials. Thank you for sharing!

[@kheff46]

Very nice build, well thought out!

[@kimberleecutter349]

This is my fav so far . It is just so well thought out and beautiful

[@lornajaneadventures]

I love this. One of the best conversions I’ve seen. The animal paintings make it perfect

[@debslifesimplified6406]

All your van interviews have paid off, your van is very well thought out, and love the colors. Great use of space, and not cluttered at all. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@linarush1393]

I have been looking at van for well over a year now. I have a friend that is offering up some land. Putting the house up for sale. This is the best van I have seen in a year. Thank you

[@kathrynb4683]

Best van build by far I have seen! Love the art touches. Love also the use of pipe for the table. Saved this for future reference. Great job. Have fun.

[@subspaceanomaly]

i thought the pipe table looked like it would be really wobbly which would be really annoying. I could be wrong!

[@jackie4588]

Extremely smart with your toilet system; love the fan!

[@TeamFish15]

This is one of the most amazing, ingenious builds I’ve ever seen! Marvelous!

[@dianebondhus9355]

This is the best van design I've seen. It's really beautiful. ❤

[@ExploringAlternatives]

Wow, thank you so much! We're really happy with the design too :)

[@Cruzinsusan5101]

Wow! You two should start designing vans! You utilized the best spaces possible for your van size! It looks huge and still lots of room to walk around! I want one just like it! It's truly awesome! Great job you two! Very impressive! I agree with Nadra! I also have watched a ton of van conversions! You have EVERYONE beat! Seriously!

[@michaelconchscooter8940]

This bed arrangement is so well done my wife and I are wondering if we should change our own design when we build this summer. Very very clever. I can’t say the bucket works for me. I like a simple porta potty but we were sailors before composting was fashionable!

[@manny-perez]

Loved the video guys, I can't wait until you publish the ones for the whole built!

[@almostemptynester777]

this is one of the best van builds I've seen and I've see ALOT! Well done!

[@daleandcolleen4059]

This is probably the nicest, simplest, most thought out van build I have seen! Congratulations on time well spent, your design is incredible!

[@chandra11116]

WOW, finally I found the Van so eloquently designed and still practical. Everything in it is so perfect !!! Thanks for sharing....

[@lilafrogod1019]

I love how Peaceful and artist it looks!🥺❤️ Maybe I can get some tips on how I can get my future van to look like that! Well done U2!!!💪

[@westkaintuck6482]

Get a planet fitness membership for your showers, there are locations everywhere. great job on the van by the way.

[@theducklinghomesteadandgar6639]

What a cool idea, very cheap and accessible and great alternative, and less expensive than campground fees on the regular!!

[@reitmanma]

utub333 you can workout too

[@benitamaudfronemanrodrigue730]

A good idea..the shower was also my concerne. The toilet scares me though. ..but otherwise everything is brilliantly figured out and acomplished. ..especially the bed.

[@elizabethsatterthwaite9176]

I love the design of this van! Personally, the only thing I would need additionally is a way to take showers. The van has so many ingenious storage ideas that are unique to this vehicle and video! Thank you so much for sharing! You have me thinking outside the box now! It is the best van design I have seen as yet and so well thought out!

[@MariaMorales-nn3fg]

De verdad es la mejor conversión que he visto hasta ahora , y lo que más me gusto es la simplicidad de ello , sin embargo es bastante ingenioso....no menos importante es lo sencillo de su personalidad , es un placer escucharlos narrar cómo lo hicieron Bien hecho🌸

[@davidwellen830]

This is the most simplistic and basic yet totally practical build I have ever seen. I watch a lot of this type of video and this one wins the grand prize for perfection of what I want in a van camper. GREAT JOB !!!

[@lornadeboer7346]

Your little home is beautiful! You have utilized the space so well. I love the colors.

[@IshikaShanai]

I've been waiting for this van tour since the marine pump video! Thanks for the update you two. :D

[@tomworth6219]

Ingenious, going to steal the table design!!

[@eileeninmaine333]

What a great van design! I love the use of friendly materials, the quiet of the marine pump, the ingenious design of the bed!

[@keithdaris6537]

I keep back to your video because it still astounds me how well you all did!
