Nice van, the last thing you want is outside lights when viewing the stars! At least allow a red light option.

Perfect!! Only someone who has dealt with this in any way can understand how good a story you have made down to the smallest detail. P.S. The only detail I would add is a small lip spoiler in front of the solar panel on the roof. It would significantly reduce air resistance and look nice.

Thank you for appreciating the details! Yes the front spoiler would be great, in the mean time at least there is zero wind noise from the panel when driving!

How deep is the air space between the solar panel and the roof? I know it’s important to have air flow or it heats up the van.

I love that you added the side windows 🪟 but it's a shame to hide the one with the cushion like that. I also would have the windows in the barn doors...maybe some porthole ones (I'm obsessed with those). Love the skylight and that you have a cassette toilet. 4 myself, I'd add some hanging space 4 a few pretty dresses 👗 right as you enter to the right at the end of the counter. A few hooks on the side would be great for a jacket or slicker and my 🐕 dog's leash. It would also be the perfect place to set the toilet at night, and a swing arm with a curtain can be installed 4 privacy when using it. An overhead shelf over the cab would be a Perch 4 my 🐈 😻 🐈⬛ 🐱....and finally, a collapsible washbasin with drain to set inside the sink 4 dishes, washing fruits and veggies, etc to prevent cross contamination with the sink that is for everything else; washing 🤲🦶 hair, sponge baths, teeth brushing, etc. All in all, a very charming conversation with such limited space. 😊👏👍👌

I love your builds and was excited to find you until I saw this video. It’s my hopes to find and buy a pre-2013 high top model, which you don’t build out. I’ve just watched almost every video you have and enjoyed it. Without ever seeing your videos, I recently planned doing a pocket door, but in a different way. Having never actually worked with the hardware my idea might not actually be feasible. In my current van I wanted the third piece to just slide out of the way so that I could have my swivel seat. The section behind the driver seat would need to be hinged in pieces so that I can still put my seat back to take a quick nap break from driving.

I really like your builds but just realized that the main entry is always on the driver’s side. In The US that would be the traffic side and if you park on the street it seems to me that would create a dangerous situation. All RV’s enter are on the camp side or passenger side. I’m sure you have a good reason and I’m curious what it would be.

Isn't it a design flaw in that by having the fridge and toilet dictate the seat height this means you can't sit upright in the van?
@SmallVansBigWorld
2 жыл бұрын
It would be a flaw not to include a frig and toilet in the design. At 12 inches tall the seat height is already quite low. A regular chair is around 16 inches. So with that in mind I think we found a good middle ground, not compromising too much one way or another.
