🎙Check out our podcast episode with Nicole & Edden all about innovative van design: tinyhometours.buzzsprout.com/2191822/14012857-innovative-van-design-with-nicole-edden
Totally agree and am sorry you wouldn't want to build this again, bc when I'm ready for my own, I want to hire you to do something very similar for me!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the layout. Such a amazing unique idea to put the elevator bed at the front. I love rear bath vans, but also love the idea of opening the door while I am in bed and enjoying the view. This van has both options!. The finishes are stunning too. Beautiful!!
This is the best camper van that i have ever seen and with the elevator bed and full bathroom it is an awesome home on wheels, Thank You for showing it here on Tiny Home Tours.🤠👋🇺🇲🇺🇲
Having lived in a van, travelled in a van, spent holidays and festivals in a van, I can honestly say this is the best use of space I have ever seen in a conversion. 💜 Especially for its size. In fact, the innovative use of space is better than most built for purposes RVs of a similar size. I love it. 😄😍
I think this is by far the best layout of the hundreds of van builds I've watched over the past 5+ years! The elevator bed is a gamechanger for that old chestnut of "do we have a fixed bed or dual purpose bed/sitting area?" I have also never understood why so many van dwellers choose to hide the views from wherever they sit in their van. To me, the sliding door is a big picture window. One thing I would change would be installing a window on both sides of the kitchen. It's nice to have a view when cooking or washing up.
This is a superb van design. Very well thought out, excellent aesthetic and is, by far, the best van design I have ever seen! Wishing NiIcole and Edden the very best with their ventures going forward!
❤❤❤ ..when I say this is the exact layout that i dreamed about as it enables me to carry my grandkids securely with those seatbelts and still gives separation from bathroom and kitchen plus multiple sleeping arrangements...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽well done..I aspire to have this one day..❤❤❤
This by far is the best layout I've seen. I love the size of the bathroom. I would take out the sink which would allow a more spacious shower area as I'm a larger person. I would probably also add a window in the kitchen. That's just personal preference. The elevator bed is brilliant too. A job well done. I'm watching this video 8 hrs after you posted it and I'm sure the van is already sold. haha
This is really lovely, and so well done! The pocket door between the living room and the cab is gorgeous! It's a testimony to your patience and craftsmanship. This conversion is truly unique. Thanks for the tour and I hope to see what you do next.
Totally dope. I can say of the thousands of van builds I've seen in the past 7 yrs, yours ticks off ALL the boxes of functionality wirh fashionability. Your van truly is an art piece and whoever buys it will truly have a gorg home on wheels. Bravo❤
Wow. There's absolutely no way words could express how beyond impressed l am by this conversion. Hats off to you both AND Shayden Valentine. It's not just streets ahead of anything else l've seen, it's entire cities ahead. The amount of features you have managed to fit inside while maintaining a sense of space is incredible. Every time you moved to an outside shot, l found myself saying, yep, it really is that small. My own "escape pod" is a 1990 Toyota HiAce Reimo Pop-top Van and, as much as l love Poppy dearly, watching your tour was like meeting a species from another planet. If you ever decide to come to Aotearoa/ New Zealand to do another conversion, hit me up. 😊
I love the laundry chute Idea! That was a new one for me. You made the van seem spacious. The wood burning is beautiful and I am a big fan of elevator beds. For me personally I like gas stoves as they don't use much electricity and work forever. I would also prefer a composting toilet.
Wow. Your van build was really nice and unique. I like it a lot ❤ I've never seen a toilet like that before, and I didn't know there was walkable solar panels. Very cool. Good job ❤ Happy traveling.
Probably the m0st unique and creative build I've ever seen in a van. If this model was available to the masses, I think it would sell very well. Because of everything that was placed upfront, that left lots of space in the back to do many things. Excellently thought out!
This is absolutely the best van I’ve ever seen! I’ve seen a lot of videos and “one day” would love to do that to travel, and I could definitely do it in this van. Best design overall! Great job guys.
Very creative. Saw the couch, bed, door to cab and was floored....but found kitchen, storage closet area too dark. Might have made closet, kitchen less deep to open up walkway. Maybe bathroom tad smaller but it is beautiful. Noticed the "concrete" has a dirty look to it which is a shame, sounded like great idea. It is definitely one of a kind and can tell great thought and effort put into this build.
What an artistic couple you are ~ you have made such a beautiful van ~ it is so warm and inviting ~ thank you for sharing this video! Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always . I love you.
after seeing hundreds of van build video's I think this is the perfect layout. I think the best position for the bathroom is at the back for many reasons. I remember first seeing that idea on Scarlet & Seths van build. Your build has a nice warmth to it with the choice of lighter timber and wall finishes. Also love the dividing wall and door into the cab. Well done guys.
This is the best design I've seen so far. The only thing I'd change would be where the spice rack is. I'd add a window there and put the spice rack next to the sink on the shower wall. Love it!!❤
that was fantastic. the bathroom was out of this world, im especially liking the toilet and will need to look into one of them more. maybe im wrong but i get a mediterranean sort of feel with the curves and the concrete. im doing a conversion myself but i wont have the height you have, its a e150 passenger van but you gave me some design ideas, thanks.
I think they read my mind, apart from losing one side of the kitchen cabinets for more space, this is how I would design a van. The Sofa and bed near the front, it allows for easier access to sit down rather squeezing yourself to the back. Then shower and toilet at the back, just seems more hygienic, spacious and allows more air in. I would get in a portable fold away bath somehow. I would also get an incinerator toilet though, can't imagine throwing my poo in a bin and leaving it to some poor sod to clean up.
Countless tons of kitty litter and doggy poop bags have gone the same route...don't think anyone would really care. The pre-made bags are designed to close up tightly and are slightly insulated and tear resistant. Probably no one encountering it would even know what was in it. The only issue lies in how expensive replacement bags that are manufactured specifically for these toilets end up being in the long run, as they are only only good for a few uses before a new one must be put in (they twist closed after initial use, and the capacity is kind of low, so only about 3 uses before there is no more bag left to twist shut and a new bag must be installed).
I really like it. I think it's quite tasteful and clever, but I can't stand that you have a perfect finish to add a nice whitewash paint to, and you haven't changed the color . One can really make it look like a the house, since you said that's what you wanted to do. WHY don't you paint the walls a like a soft sage green the color of the plant leaves in the niche, and then it would blend in. Add a profusion of plants. Add complimentary artwork to thr spaces. A pretty curtsin over the blinds. you don't have any blown up photos, in silver or black frames, on the walls. It's crying out for some color and a nice area rug or two. I mean you can do some things.
Absolutely beautifully planned van. You nailed it. The bathroom in the rear of the van makes this van seem like a tiny house. One question- is the entire bathroom a wet room or did I miss a shower curtain or stall? Best of luck with your new business venture.
This is the best van build I have ever seen, it really does feel like a tiny home on wheels, and your idea for creating new and individual-themed vans is brilliant !!! ...look forward to seeing more. It's also the best video presentation of a van build I have ever seen.
One of a unique styling inside a van limited space which is cleverly designed n really looks like an luxury apartment not a van , must say it's a wow factor
I've watched hundreds of van conversions on RU-vid and this is the most innovative use of space I've ever seen. This van has it all, a double bed, a large seating area, a full kitchen with refrigerator and only drawers much more practical than doors, plenty of storage space and a spacious shower room. All with an incredible eye for detail and perfect taste. Such a feeling of space in such a small van is unique ! Have they built another one yet ? I am certainly curious to see it.
I absolutely love your van build❤ It's so spacious inside with all the amenities! As you were showing the indoor part of your build, I was wondering if you had a bathroom. OMG! What a surprise to see how much room you have in the back of your tiny home on wheels! A great size bathroom/wet room, and more storage space!!! You did a fantastic job on this👍 If I was much younger and able-bodied, I would love to purchase it. Good luck on the sale and in your future builds 😊
What a fabulous build unique homey and the layout is incredible from the L-shaped sitting area to the bed, kitchen and most beautiful and indeed special bathroom area. 🙌🔥
Excellent and creative use of space! I love the idea of an elevator bed;,it doubles the usable space and it must be awesome not having to make and unmake a bed every day. I also really love the rear bathroom. So many even bigger vans skimp on bathroom space, and you’ve made a large usable space with more than one purpose! So cool! Thanks for sharing your home with us ❤
Wow! What great ideas and tiny home! 😍Y’all did an awesome job! 👏👏👏If I had the $$$ I definitely would buy it! ❤️ God Bless you with your future endeavors with tiny homes, etc. Looking forward to seeing more! 👍
This is seriously the best van build I have seen.. and I have Seen way too many LOL ! GREAT JOB!! Inspiring !! I am in love with this van build ! It is just perfect !!
WHOA...BEAUTIFUL!! I have been inspired beyond measure as I watch people like you. I have begun my minivan build and is currently documenting my journey on my youtube channel. Thanks for sharing❤❤
