VAN TOUR | Transit Van Converted to Trail Ready Tiny Home for VAN LIFE

[@williamgildea8348]

I watch just about every van builder on KZbin, this has to be one of the nicest if not the best vans I’ve ever seen. One of my pet peeves is the toilet in the shower. I don’t know why every builder doesn’t install a toilet that slides away. When I decide to do the van life I know who I am going to have build my van. ❤

[@elvinamanapova4222]

soo true

[@medic4life7]

Agreed. I was very impressed on their build.

[@Overfews]

Fully agree

[@levt2156]

Very true about the bathroom. I designed my van, and the toilet in the shower is always an issue. It wasn't until about a year ago that I saw my first slide out toilet and I still have it on my mind! A retrofit would take a lot of remodeling and relocating, but, if I can make it happen, I will!!!

[@FeelingPeculiar]

The only issue is the composting toilet in the shower. Edit: Sorry just realized you mentioned that

[@samlc7]

The toilet placement is genius!

[@justjudy7320]

😂 sorry but it wasn't his genius. Some contractor several years ago on either New Jersey Outdoors or the tiny home tour about 5 years ago❤ very pretty build❤

[@Danieljordan2]

For sure, the best van camper I’ve ever seen, even among the industrial.

[@TimKatie]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@e-scooterguy]

Campervan builders/designers take note! What an amazing van, layout, with so many neat ideas to make it practical and liveable.

[@TimKatie]

Thank you!

[@frankartale1026]

So, out of all the builds. You are the first to use a 45 angle on the counter top. Well done. Little things like that, make a big difference in the way everything looks. These builders need to add curves to these interiors. Alot of the builds i see, look like boxes thrown in the van.

[@markjensen663]

This is an amazing build. Far better than anything the RV industry could put out. The only thing I would do different is swapping the cooktop and the sink. Would rather have the cooktop away from the bedding and below the fan and near the door which could be opened while cooking.

[@Camping.by.nazanin]

[@mattbristol8138]

THis is the cleanest, best van design I’ve seen, utilizing all of the best vanlife equipment available. Literally the only thing missing is a gasoline-fueled water and air heater instead of just the air-only heater and the electric water heater and floor heater. But the way you went might create a cleaner design. WELL DONE!

[@kelmscot21237]

How much?

[@Chuckles..]

Ingenious. One of the best examples of "if you want it done right do it your self" I've ever seen.

[@rangerider51]

Oh you guys are engineers. That’s why this van is so well built. Awesome!

[@TimKatie]

We are actually both physical therapists, but thank you! 😊

[@michaelgiorgio7447]

This is your best work yet. Congrats on a super-clean, high-end build

[@TimKatie]

Thank you, Michael!

[@hanweisim9232]

This should be the best modified campervan I have ever seen, in which I have learned a lot. Thank you for being there.

[@TimKatie]

Thank you!!

[@Camping.by.nazanin]

❤

[@sonyacarmichael8146]

The toilet, how perfectly placed. More room in the shower!!! The cooker also amazing. Love the build.

[@benten1453]

This is 1 of the best van builds I've ever seen

[@DeeMontezx1]

Super impressive in every way. Beautiful van and design and on top of everything else you two seem so down to earth, intelligent and attractive people. You are so blessed!

[@phantp78]

This by far is the best build I’ve seen. With a few changes in decor and upgrades. 👍👍

[@TimKatie]

Thank you! 😊

[@margreetanceaux3906]

What I love the mist is that you can leave the shower door open, without the toilet bowl in sight.

[@robwickham8530]

Each build blows me away, and this one has me speechless. The whole thing is perfection down to the smallest detail, and you guys exemplify the kind of expertise and humility I would want from a builder. I’m pretty invested in my own build, but when I’m in the market next time around you two are my go-to builders! Love this van to the moon and back! Hope to see you this summer out on the road…

[@TimKatie]

Thank you, Rob! That is very kind of you. We appreciate your kind words and support and hope to see you on the road this summer!

[@janineseymour9497]

Love your work. The attention to detail is on point, well done. I’m sure a very happy customer

[@TimKatie]

Thank you! 🙏🏻😊

[@beverleyschilder8008]

This has to be one of the best set ups I've seen .Well done.

[@MarvinFord]

Excellent job, Tim and Katie! I know who I am calling when I need a van build.

[@TimKatie]

Thank you! We hope to hear from you one day :)

[@susanrioux9889]

You guys are such a cute family. I love the vans design, seems practical, efficient and it’s very tastefully styled and decorated. Excellent video. I like the way you both made comments and switched off pointing out things. Fantastic job you two. I hope you enjoy your van.

[@TimKatie]

Thank you so much 😊 We appreciate your kind feedback and support!

[@mikemanjo2458]

Gorgeous home! What was the total cost as it sits?

[@levt2156]

I'm curious too. Based on the cost of my own build without so many of those extras, I'm guessing in excess of $200K.

[@kaseyh1948]

Levi is the supervisor every great employee needs!!!!😂💙. This is one of the best functional builds I’ve EVER seen. You really did an awesome job maximizing the space yet keeping the aesthetic clean, spacious and warm. The angled counter top…? GENIUS!! Bravo you two!!👏🏽👏🏽 (Levi deserves a promotion!)

[@joshuacoolidge5995]

I would recommend a folding ledge or staircase to access the bike rack. This build is incredible. Although the driver seat swivel options seem limited. The extra large window flairs give great space for the bed although you might hit your head especially if you have a mattress topper. Kitchen and electric system is excellent

[@Bingwadc]

Perfect layout, really like the Transit. Great job!

[@TimKatie]

Thank you!

[@kevinjackson4192]

This one of the nicest van builds that I have seen. Congratulations!

[@ronbeardsley5961]

Definitely over the top! Each build gets better as does your workshop and fancy tools/equipment! Really nice rig!

[@Camping.by.nazanin]

❤

[@PeterLazar]

This is the best van conversion I have seen so far. Congratulations!

[@TimKatie]

Thank you!

[@Camping.by.nazanin]

❤

[@kfeldinAZ]

Excellent bathroom design and love the clothesline!

[@BossRedRanger]

You made the bathroom the FIRST thing you covered! That means so much to me. Without a full functioning bathroom, most vans are worthless to me. I appreciate making that feature a priority and demonstrating the function as well. I immediately subbed to your channel based on this alone! Cheers!

[@Hike303]

I'm blown away. This van is so well thought out and has so many neat features. The layout is also perfect. Amazing job! Safe travels!

[@TimKatie]

Thank you so much!

[@bikeninja956]

This is very smart build. Thank you for sharing. You've implemented a few features that, after researching Van builds for the past few years, I've come to the conclusion are the best ways of doing things. 1. The pull out toilet is a great idea, it hides away when not in use, leaving a more open space, slides make it easy to pull out vs. just sitting in there and putting it the hallway when needing to shower. Q. Where did you get the access hatch for it? 2. The hidden projector screen, it's a very good way to get big screen real estate in a small space. Q. Do you find the upper portion of it takes up a lot of room in your cabinet?

[@Ronmt52]

The most beautiful and functional Van I have ever seen on youtube. Well done guys!

[@jwhaley616]

Katie & Tim, Wow! This is the best van conversions that I have seen so far! My wife and I are entertaining the thought with doing a project like this! Obviously you have to be somewhat DIY inclined, which we are and would most likely do something similar to yours! The details matter! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together! I am sure you have had a lot of fun traveling! Just Awesome!

[@MegaBpop]

I agree this is one of the best van builds . Congrats.

[@anwaar1647]

The rig is fantastic! But more importantly I cannot overlook how cute the two of you are together. Two pure souls that found their happy space in each other. Wishing you all the luck in your adventures!

[@edd1106]

All I can say is WOW!!! Never seen a van design that compares! Do you have an architectural design background? Overall design so clean, efficient, attentive to detail, highly functional and innovative. Really, really well done.

[@ilibana]

I have watched tons of these videos - and this van is the best!

[@ShaneKelly]

Perhaps the best conversion I have ever seen.

[@2ndExoduspending]

I give this build a 98.9% rating. Because no one is a complete 💯 the front heating under the passenger rotating seat that rely on the Gas is a no for me. The gas these days are incredibly expensive so I wouldn’t need that! Other than that this build is hands down for me. I would absolutely want you guys to build for me thank you!

[@paulinekehoefiveelementalc2628]

Looks incredible thoughtful with very clean design. For us, I would flip the bathroom with the table. Love the toilet pull out! 🎉 Impressed!

[@CarryOnRTW]

Hi from a van on the beach on the north coast of Tasmania. 😀 Great work as usual guys. Your vans are much better than the rentals we've been using down here. You are really dialling in the details with each build you do and I'm sure your customers will appreciate it.

[@Camping.by.nazanin]

❤

[@johnbass9399]

This is one of the most thoughtful design and build I have seen. Excellent presentation with clear explanations. Congratulation on a great build.

[@ritawoodfork3086]

Makes you want to move in! Absolutely has everything and so well done! That battery bank is outstanding so no worries about power, heating and cooling systems, entertainment - so comfortable looking!

[@KnightMD]

Mind blown here. I've been watching van lifers for years and this is the most complete 2-person van I've seen. If you have kids, I suggest the following to make it a 4-person van: Add a flip out table under the one you have, as well as flip out extensions to the seats. Mount the bed on an elevator to lift it up and make room for a second bed. Finally, consider a recirculaing shower because you'll need more water.

[@TimKatie]

Thank you! Great suggestions for making it a 4 person van 🙌🏻

[@KnightMD]

@@TimKatie lol I'm sure you didn't need any of that unsolicited advice you guys are the pros thanks for the lovely video!

[@Camping.by.nazanin]

❤

[@scoro8964]

Another beautiful and impressive build and video tour. Thanks

[@TimKatie]

Thanks for watching!

[@kimyenchu]

Your shower room is the best I have seen. It is the one I would want including the washing line. I would have placed the cooker on the door side of the counter rather than next to the bed as that could cause fat to splash on the bed. I also prefer a convertible bed so I could have a bigger table for guests. The overall decor of the van is lovely though.

[@mattie787]

I agree about the cooktop near the bed. I want to feel as far away from the actual kitchen as possible. First camper van that has had me even remotely considering a composting toilet. Smart, smart, smart! Kudos! A pleasure to watch!

[@toh2002]

Best layout I have ever seen. Great job!

[@judithbyerly5888]

What a Beautiful design! Love everything about this van. 🎉

[@JR-ic8ry]

Wow, your design and build quality is fantastic! Very impressive

[@BroadwayLTDProductions]

The undermount AC evaporator appears to have the heater core in it as well. You can add a hydronic system to that so your heating and AC comes from the same place. I plan on building a system like that when I build either a sprinter or promaster (leaning more towards the promaster because it is wider).

[@brandyramos9372]

What impress me is the wet bath. The toilet has hidden storage for bigger room in the shower. ❤

[@alejandramguerrero5885]

Ditto to all those previous comments !! You guys are truly outstanding !! Thank you so much for sharing . My first time at your channel - I’ll be following you guys from now on ! Keep on rockin’ it !!

[@TimKatie]

Thank you so much! We appreciate your support 😊

[@levt2156]

Stunning! What talent! Incredible design and decor. You've thought of everything, and the quality of your work appears to be outstanding. I would love to add some of these features to my van to step it up to the next level, and you've provided an abundance of great ideas. Thank you for sharing this and your build video.

[@TimKatie]

Thank you so much. We appreciate your kind feedback and are happy to hear it’s given you some ideas for your own van. All the best 😊

[@GabeDonzelli]

This is pretty much how I have designed my 4x4 van with a few differences given my preferences. Thank you for sharing.

[@Rhyonized]

How have I not seen this channel before? Super impressed by the clean looks and functionality that really helps with convenience from the control panel, monitors, switches, mountings etc. Considering getting a van soon too but really want it to accommodate a large enough garage so that a raptor quad can fit but unsure if a bed lift and all the systems will fit and/or if it’s too heavy. Blending together aesthetics with functionality and convenience seems a bit difficult even if it seems like a boujie request.

[@TimKatie]

Thank you! Ah yes, the dance between space and functionality and design requirements is tricky! Good luck :)

[@jimjefftube]

Great Job and Congratulations on the Supervisor!

[@TimKatie]

Thank you x2! 😊

So beautiful and efficiently planned too! I would love to see a urine diverter to the gray so you don’t have to dump that one. Glad I found your channel!

[@drew-andresvogt652]

Wow, well done! I love it, aesthetically and functionally fantastic...one of the best ones I've seen, and brilliant idea for the shower/toilet situation!

[@noneyabusinessnoneyabusine1959]

Love watching all of these but I think most of us would like to see the battery system and all .

[@michelleviloria2802]

This is so far the best, classy van.

[@zareththealchemist8982]

Absolutely beautiful build. Amazing attention to detail. Large RV & Van manufacturers could take some lessons from you guys. Looks like the most beautiful thing you made was that baby. 😇 🫵😉👍

[@TimKatie]

Thank you so much! Agreed, Levi is the best of all haha

[@clayhaskell2093]

@@TimKatie Speaking of babies, where does that cute little one ride? I only see 2x seats. This is the best build I have ever seen, we also have a little one so just trying to figure out how they safely ride. Do you anchor a baby seat in the forward facing dinnette chair ? Cheers and safe travels! Best- Clay

[@julleehh3991]

A divider between the cook top and bed be good 😊

[@Hallsvoice]

The best camper I’ve seen yet!

[@kelmscot21237]

I love the design!

[@alismart8113]

There are some great ideas here. We’re looking for some of the options listed but not all. We don’t need self sufficient but we need basics ie aircon, insulation/heat & water because we’ll be tapping into other resources depending on location. Thank you

[@lolabear6788]

That has a lot of really good design in it.

[@carolsakaguchi3739]

Wonderful build…great design…love that toilet slides away!

[@cjm3242]

would swap the cooktop with the sink so that it would be near the sliding door and exhaust fan for better ventilation rather than near the bed.

I am going to start following you guys. This is soooooo genius! Totally love this unit. Absolutely the best

Fantastic One of the best designs with so many facilities .

[@MissMaggie246]

Beautiful, and very clean! I think I would round off the corners on the table though…easy enough to do.

[@kenp4464]

Be interesting to know the weight limits and what the van actually weights. "Tons" of storage on the rear, racks, and butcher block adds tons of weight.

Amazing build!

thas so smart what you did to slide the toilet and your clothes line !!

[@libordostal886]

Wow you got me with the projector :D

[@mikenguyen72]

The very best built by far I see kn KZbin

[@Mebeknob]

There needs to be a gizmo you can mount in the shower to hang clothes and gear on…. Then swings out into the hallway (with all the stuff still on it) close the door and use the shower. There is so much space in the shower!

[@YetiYada]

What is Tim's education background? He explains the details so well.

[@DavidJimenez-xt2sj]

Love it guys. Great work, and the supervisor, well he rules

[@kamwickw933]

REALLY nice wet bath setup. The slide out toilet is wonderful. Would prefer a shower head that also can be used as a hand shower, though. Would love to see an extra window above the kitchen counter. I know it would be obscured when the door is open, but would add so much extra natural light and breeze when closed. Might also make for easier driving? Also a window above the dinette? I know it's not great for stealth, but would be nice. Also, is there any kind of venting for the cooktop? I think I would opt for a portable induction plate. Lovely van!

[@Recipes-u9g]

I literally love your van conversion ❤
