VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Tim and Katie are physical therapists that wanted a side project during the pandemic. With the purchase of a $50K 2020 Ford Transit and $30K put into it, they ended with a gorgeous tiny home on wheels after seven months of hard work.
This immaculate rig has all essentials like a cassette toilet, a fridge, a deep sink, and an electric stovetop. Some luxurious upgrades include heated floors, easy access lighting, and a recirculating shower. The garage is spacious, and the roof deck has plenty of room for lounging next to five 100-watt solar panels. Tim and Katie travel part-time in their van with the intention of longer adventures as the tiny home on wheels is designed to be off-grid!

I love this conversion. First off they thought of everything from the type of van to the recirculating shower. I haven't really heard much about that, it's great to know there is someone who has done it and it works well for them. This is a clean functional build and everything has been well thought out. Great job to this couple!!

So fresh feeling with all the white and beautiful light wood. Love the stick-on tile and little divider wall at the kitchen/bedroom. I don't know why more folks don't do it. And the heated floors! Super! Can't wait to see how you decorate it making it your own. It would look so good with even just a few plants. It's quite lovely.

I would buy it from you. The biggest things I’m a GO with is all electric, lithium batteries with the solar, and that shower is awesome. I would switch to a compost potty because I would be a single female traveler and wouldn’t want to be using rest rooms. Not that I have anything against them but just wouldn’t feel comfortable. Really love the heated floor also-forgot that!! Congratulations and hve many gret travels! Vaya con Dios!!

I like all the electric fixtures, no emissions. The five stage filtering system is what makes the recirculating shower work. More RVs need this system. I would choose 8 solar panels and drive just about everywhere. Excellent build.

Thank you so much! We're working on another transit now and chose to go with the 8 panels on this one - stay tuned :)

I've seen this van on their channel and it remains one of my favourite van conversion designs. It literally ticks all the boxes for me - dinette/office space, good size shower, usable kitchen, and a bed that doesn't need to be folded away. The recirculating shower is a nifty idea too.

Induction cooktop can be fragile and vulnerable to breaking unless protected ... also would have swapped your cooking area (with no maxxfan to vent cooking steam/smoke directly above) with sink area as you are trapping all your cooking smells/by products and inhibiting the space to move while prepping and cooking in a fairly enclosed area in the middle of your van ...

Wonderful build. Those solar panels are way too big for 100 watts, though. You can easily replace each with 180 watts (at least) that are 9BB threaded for maximum efficiency, and nearly double your wattage intake. 👍
@TimKatie
@TimKatie Год назад
Thanks! I'd love a link to those 180 W panels if you have one, as I've never found any with that much output in the same footprint - we have switched to 9BB panels for our new van and increased the total to 800W in a slightly bigger footprint

I like the van and the set up is 90 percent perfect. I intend to get a van soon. The 90 percent is my personal preferences. I would have put the toilet in the shower so it doubles in purpose. I love the dinette. I will not be installing a permanent bed. I would say 98 percent have a bed that takes up way too much real estate. I am working on a Murphy bed system that is a couch when it's not a bed. while I don't intend to live in the van, I have camped enough to know when it is cold, dark, or raining...or all the above...you will want to be inside. My young adult gran daughter tells me...her generation are the...bed generation...they are in bed all the time....tv, video gaming, texting, social media...etc. I think the workmanship is beyond skilled. I am impressed. Lastly, I love that you did not include propane...I will definitely not be adding propane.

I like how you kept the garage tidy by boxing in the systems, good detail with metal edging so corners don't get damaged by putting stuff in and out there. I am always a bit disappointed in tours that don't show someone lie on the bed, especially a male, to see how you fit, I know people give dimensions but its reassuring to see visually, best with 2 on same time.

Awesome van build and what a fantastic layout. The heated floors and recirculating shower are very neat ideas. I also like the clean sleek look of everything, it leaves an open palette for adding colours with accessories etc. My question would be with the insulation and heating choices and living in Canada, how cold of temperatures do you think it would be able to handle? Would everything stand up to full time living in our cold Canadian winters? Thanks again for sharing. Peace and Calm. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦

Hey. My van builders have come to the stage where they want to build the shower.

I want to find one where i dont have to change the water for a month maybe. Is that too much to hope for? In your video you say 6 showers would you say it’s impossible to keep the water for a month and still be clean? Do you know of any these days with that capability?
