Design Review of Eamon & Bec’s Van Tour / Vanlifer Reacts to Their Conversion (Sprinter)

Episode 3! Today I’m doing a deep-dive into Eamon & Bec’s Sprinter Van Layout. With over 5 million views on RU-vid, it was surprising to me to see how few people understand the best ways to optimize small living. Nothing beats experience when it comes to design, but the more educational information you can find, the better! I hope this video can help YOU with your future tiny home on wheels.

I’m Margaret and I’ve lived in multiple vehicles all over the world since 2017. I love tiny living, travel, and efficiency. There are very few voices in the vanlife community that are willing to be real about the campervan layouts we see all over the internet. Let’s get to it! Enjoy!

I love Eamon & Bec and I was a bit defensive when I watched this video. However, you are giving your opinion based upon the design of the van and I think there are some valid points. The new van they are building improved the design and for sure will face new challenges. It is good to point out the hits and misses as when we are designing our vans we can be aware of the flows and try to avoid them. Or if you are going to repeat them you'll be aware of them.

Yes I’ve been surprised how many fans have taken this review so personally. Frankly, as a vanlifer myself, when you meet other travelers we ALL discuss what we’ll change or do different in the next build. No van is forever, because our needs/ wants constantly change (like with Ladi and I we will need a new van when we start a family) I only care about design, and I’m glad you could see that. ❤️

To say they have a fixed bed on the new van is not 100% accurate. The foot of the bed (about 1/3) doubles as the back rest of a couch. With this design the seem/crack in the mattress goes across your legs and neither partner is forced to sleep in a crack in the mattress.
@cwestte
@cwestte 4 года назад

In cold climates the air under roof-windows gets a lot colder compared to the rest of the vehicle so that its is literally dropping down on you. Yes circulation is nice, but it depends a lot where you go camping if a window above the bed is a good idea or not.

@wilsonwombat3456
@wilsonwombat3456 3 года назад
I disagree on the need for two roof vents, as hot air is drawn in when hot or allows escape when needed, they are generally impractical for air circulation in very wet or cold weather, offer minimal insulation and all too often take up prime rooftop real estate. A vanlifer should always consider passive ventilation first, something as simple as a window/small hatch and a well located floor vent* (a floor vent allows for cool air in or cold air out) . A ducted or ductless rangehood over the stove is ideal as they don't allow moisture from cooking to pass through the living areas or sucking it around the cooks head like a central ceiling fan does. In reality, 14" fans are overkill for a van, at max they can circulate a vans air over 60 times an hour (commercial planes full with passengers replenish the cabin air a mere 20 times an hour at cruise speed) , are noisy, energy inefficient (1- 3 a/hr), etc; Whereas an individual 120mm, 0.14 amp, high static pressure fan combined with a low profile Mueller vent can replenish up to 6 cubic metres of air every three minutes (20 times an hour in a low roof van). A low amp hsp fan is very quiet and can be left running 24/7. * In my van build, I am planning to use a pop up sink drain (without overflow) in the side wall of the step well. Easily opened and closed, will draw cool air from under the van and roughly allows for 60 cubic metres of airflow per hour. tinyurl.com/y6bzf8dy

Since I am completely new to this, I have a question: how do I mount a watertank underneath the van and put the pipes etc. everywhere? Sorry if my question is not asked well. English isn’t my first language.

Exterior water tanks are only good if you plan to NEVER travel to cold climates (pipes will freeze).

React to their new van. Offical van tour just got uploaded. Their new van design is lit.

I think they put the spices there because of their face in the cabinet, I’m not sure on that. That same looking at the camera with a sound effect a bunch of times was done one or two times too many.

just to point out this was their old van - they learnt a lot from Trinity and their new van is amazing! (except possibly for the complexities of the shower! ) much better bed design and layout, lightweight doors (frames and rattan), etc.

yes I know, but I only care about view count for now :) tours with high views are what I focus on, I don't pick individuals for any other reason other than that

This was really good. I'm in the planning stages of mine and the bass thought is from Trenton and Allie's then bill. Can you review there so that I will not follow exactly if there are some pitfalls other than the ones they discussed in their own review?

So many of the DIY vans seem to have thick, clunky cabinet material. I think my favorite cabinet type involves 80/20 aluminum frames with a nice thin & light bamboo plywood. Like Ken does on ourkaravan.com/ (they have a RU-vid channel by the same name).

2 thoughts. First, I would think that Eamon could run a hose from his water pump up to fill the outdoor shower reservoir if he desired. The volume is not insignificant at 1.469 US gallons per linear foot, there is probably close to 20 gallons of extra water storage up there. Second, if you know, and bring up that they are in the midst of a new build, why show their years old build as if it were relevant? What works for them... Right? So, in the years of having their build, they changed their mind about a fixed bed and full garage. Third, bonus content, as they are based in Toronto Canada, it is Inconceivable that they would mount their water tanks under the vehicle. But again, that is a years old design.

Hey Brian, thanks for the long comment! In all honesty, I’m less interested in their new build because I pick van tours to review based on view counts. This van tour is one of the bigger of the genre, and therefore gains a lot of attention from people who are just developing an interest in the lifestyle. Even if a tour is 5 years old and the owner has the newest and best van ever, I’ll still review the old video if it has this many views, as it’s important to point out for those who are only just learning about design. Fair point on the shower option, but I would just prefer to not have to think about multiple water storage tanks, but that’s me. As far as the water under the van goes, I both agree and disagree. The reason I point it out is for viewers who are looking to build vans all over the world. We’ve had our water tanks below the van in cold weather, but we also don’t like Vanlife in the winter, so we opt to fly warmer places instead. In our case, it’d be fine to have water tanks under because they wouldn’t be in use. Every vanlifer makes decisions for different reasons, I’m just trying to explain the pros and cons of those decisions for the masses 👍

I thought the layout was kinda bad. They put a lot of emphasis on having people over. The pole is one thing but where are people supposed to sit?. They would all sit in one row staring into the wall while banging their heads into the shelves above. I don't think it could become more anti-social than that.
