    After living in this Tiny House for a year we are so excited to share our Van Tour of this one of a kind design.
    Full of innovative ideas, this is a custom DIY Van Build/Van Conversion includes; Full-Size Bathroom with Recirculating Shower, Tilting Solar Panels, Attic Van Storage, 12v AC, huge garage and much more!
    This 4x4 Sprinter Adventure Van was designed for Full Time Van Life and Full Time Travel. Full build details are discussed in a series of Van Build Tech Talk videos designed for DIY Van Builders or Dreamers looking for How to or inspiration.
    Join us, Snow and Curt, van life travelers, as we Travel The World for 10-12 years. We have already been living in this van for one year and couldn't be happier that we have joined the Vanlife community and are living our dream.
    We share our journey in a Vanlife Real Talk Series where we keep it real and talk about all the Vanlife details we encounter and in a Vanlife Travel Series where we take you with us on a cinematic interpretation of our journey of a lifetime.
    So come on... take a van tour of our tiny house on wheels and come along with us on the journey.

You can empty the remains in a trash bag and empty into a public waste bin/ rest room or at a campsite...no, it's not a holding tank. I hope that helped.

    One of the main drawbacks of van life to me is the lack of comfort in most vans that I have seen. I mean in terms of a couch or comfy chair. So, I really love the couch you have made. It looks comfortable and I think I could live in that! I also love the division of space, the hall shower, and that screen door. Very creative and very well done!

    WOW! The feedback on our van has been amazing! We love all of the comments. We are getting asked A LOT about van cost and van plans, so here are those answers:
    1) We just hired someone to draw up van plans for our van, they will be available in 30 days or so, so stay tuned... we will announce when they are ready on UA-cam, so make sure you subscribe.
    2) It was a VERY hectic time when we were building our van... working on our house to get it ready to sell, working full time jobs, preparing to retire from those jobs, selling our home, building the van on weekends, and selling everything we own... and all on a deadline! So, we did not track the cost of our build as well as we should have... did not even do a great job of keeping receipts. But, we are going to back up and gather as much data as we can and do a video to let you guys know what it cost to build our van! Hope that helps!!
    3) For other questions we are getting asked a lot, we will be putting together a Van Tour Q&A Video in the next week or two to answer all of those for you!
    THANKS for all of the comments, we try to read and answer all of them!! CHEERS! ~ Snow and Curt

    Phenomenal design and implementation! Probably seen 500 van build outs over the past 6 or 7 years, and this is definitely in my top 5. I did think of something that might work for you in the shower. Have you ever considered using marine grade vinyl or something similar so that you don't have to do so much work transforming the space before using the shower?
    10 out of 10, y'all! Great job.

      like the idea..but wouldn't that be one more thing to have to wipe down after a shower?

      @@nicoleminugh3274 That's true. I guess it comes down to whether you'd rather remove and replace the cushions every time you shower or just wipe them down. On another note, they'd also be spill and stain resistant with the marine grade vinyl but might not be as homey as the upholstery fabric. Either way, that layout is amazing!

      The shower was a lot of work.

    The amount of technical detail that went into your rig is astounding. I know whats behind those panels, and the fact that you were able to cram it all in in there is fabulous. I have never seen anything as detailed but still has that home feel such as your van. Nicely done!

    Best van conversion I’ve seen on UA-cam BY A LONG SHOT.
    The question I come out with is, how do the roof fans work if the entire roof seems to be covered with the solar panels? How do you pull air in or put air out if it’s covered up there?

    • @SnowAndCurt

      The roof box is not air or water tight... it is designed to allow enough sir for the fans... And the height of the box is just enough for the fans to open. They work perfect with the box open or closed! Thanks for the kind words!

      Not just cozy but also great taste in design, color scheme, interior decorating, heck everything is so well put together. Love your taste. It's like it was designed with all my likes in mine lol. Awesome job done with this conversion.
