Tip?: stick a safety pin in your paper towels. Keeps them from unrolling when that’s might be a problem. A small black magnet at the side will hold the pin when not used. You two are absolutely AMAZING!

I like the open feel because you didn’t put upper cabinets on one side and where you put the toilet. Good job!
@markbajek2541
@markbajek2541 Год назад
Have you considered some type of magnetic anchoring system for a clothesline from the rear door to the front cabin of the van , so you could hang hand washed items while you are driving or out hiking and you don't want to drape unmentionables on an outside clothesline? You could do it with a couple of 20lb magnets with a hook and just use whatever type of cordage you've got in the garage lying around.
@melissahoffman4687
@melissahoffman4687 Год назад
You can put hooks on the ceiling above where the toilet is. Put a shower curtain on the hooks on the ceiling, then a jug full of warm/hot water you can heat with your stove. A storage for the toilet can be pushed under that other couch of yours, like a Coby. Like what you did in your bus. Another drape, or shower curtain will be handy though. Just an option of you want to try your shower/toilet like this in your future. You can put more cabinets on the other side of your van. Your food storage can go there. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the tour video! :)

Your van and bus both look amazing, you guys did fantastic job building. I would like to suggest you find a way to store your extra food that is under the couch bunk, in some kind of plastic container or something mouse proof, as the day will come when you get a visitor and will regret having that food just sitting exposed and easy to get into.

Really well thought out van build in terms of the craftsmanship and engineering . Ending was really cute with Natalie's folded arms on Jimmy's shoulders . In addition to the barrel bolts for the drawers , do you think rigid pipe straps would aesthetically work where you then can slip a 3' or 4' dowel through the loops so with at least one drawer 'bolted' the rest of the drawers should be safe from accidentally opening .

I love your van--one of the best things is those quilted window coverings--I have seen van dwellers go cheap with home made covers that ultimately fail--when I build mine I want those quilted ones--I know they are pricey but I think a good thing to spend $$ on--and I love that your van is all electric--I will do that, too--I will have a microwave cause it's all I usually use now
