Hi, we’re Shelby and Steven! We lived in our self converted van for 2 years and now we build luxury camper vans for others. Follow along as we post van tours, how to videos, and our daily adventures.

Very cool for a kid, or a very short person. I wonder if it would be possible to add a temporary dividing curtain to give the guest extra privacy. Maybe with a tension rod or something.
I originally thought that the front flip out seat that turns into a 2nd bed was one of the coolest things I have seen and then I watched the video again and it was obvious that there are some problems with the design of it. Nobody is going to want to sit the way you were sitting with your leg on an angle while working on the lagun table which doesn’t appear to swivel all the way in front of someone sitting in the seat. Also, the drivers seat doesn’t appear to be able to swivel all the way as the seat goes all the way to the back of the drivers bucket seat. It would have made more sense to have moved the seat further away from the drivers seat so that someone could sit facing the front of the van and slide their legs under the table. Obviously, there may have been not enough length? Also, the seat might be too wide to have someone sitting comfortably ith their back against the wall?
There’s not really a lot you can do with layouts, especially with a 144WB. Also van conversions aren’t a new concept anymore, so most designs have been done.
Narrator has a voice like rough sandpaper. This is called Vocal Fry and quite the rage with the Kardashians. Her voice sounds like sandpaper over metal, deliberately grating and low. It is irritating to listen to. My ears feel abused. This is an affectation amongst young women today, done deliberately, and its very unpleasant to listen to. Your voice affectation chased me away. Know that. Worst possible voice for a narrator! Ugh. By the way, it is not natural for you to speak like that. It is done deliberately to sound 'cool'. It sounds awful. I had to turn off sound and speed it up.
There is a van tour out there where a van lifer has a whole gaming system set up. Has a gaming chair, some kind of satellite connection to play online, a big screen. It was pretty cool but I saw it a couple of years ago. Don’t know if it is still online.
