    I have searched and searched for the best layout for a van and have always thought Trent and Allie's came out on top. You did a beautiful job on yours. It looks great. I don't like the bed / table, seating combo either. I would be too tired at the end of the day to have to make up the bed every time. I say, leave the one cabinet open. It looks neat and organised and is easily accessible. Well done you two. You should be very proud. Enjoy! 👏💜💚💙

    Beautiful van! Really well thought out. Would you be willing to share roughly how much it cost for you to do the conversion? Also what is the weight load with everything you have in it and what kind of mileage do you get? Great tour- my vote is that you keep the door off.

      thanks for the feedback, Phyllis! We came in just under $25,000 for the build. We have a video that breaks down all of the costa called: How much does a diy van conversion actually cost? We haven’t weighed it officially, but it doesn’t feel heavy when you drive it. Last time we checked we were getting 17.8 mpg. Thanks for watching!

    Nice work. What are the dimensions of your shower and would you be able to make it shorter based on your height and the position of the airhead?

    • @NomadicVisuals
      @NomadicVisuals  2 роки тому +1

      The inside dimensions are 35x24. There is some room to shorten it length ways but not width because of our shower pan being 24x24. For the airhead we put the hose on one side and the handle on the opposite so I suppose you could put both on the same side and also do a smaller or custom shower pan and shorten it width ways by maybe 3 inches or so. Height wise we can’t afford to make it any shorter bc of our height (Jelaine’s 5’10” ish and she’s the shorter one).

    Did you or have you considered going with a larger water tank? And are you all able to shower and all that everyday or do you have days where you don’t shower to save water? Love the van by the way!

    • @NomadicVisuals
      @NomadicVisuals  2 роки тому

      We think the water tank is sufficient - don’t want any more weight back there. If we both shower every 3 days then the water would probably last a little over a week. Depends on how many people, how long you shower and how much access you have to water to fill your tank. We always try to conserve water when taking showers and everything else!

    The heated floors? Do you find them useful? Worth the expense and the install? Do they get hot enough to make a difference?

    • @NomadicVisuals
      @NomadicVisuals  2 роки тому +1

      They are of course more useful during winter and if you plan to go barefoot are definitely worth it. They do get pretty hot! We left them on accidentally all night and when we woke up they were too hot to stand on and would burn your feet! Ultimately we think it’s worth the money (assuming you plan to go barefoot) and the install is fairly simple. If you plan to wear shoes or slippers then I would not waste the money.

    • @NomadicVisuals
