      100% out in Washington it's $1500 for a 400sqft apartment. After you add on utilities it's $1800 a month or $21,600 a year to survive and you'll have nothing to show for it once the year is over.
      If you spend two years worth of rent on a van like this(obviously not one this fancy) you can have a place to live for years, flexibility to upgrade when you see fit and when it's all said and done you have a van you can still sell.
      Right now I'm putting everything I need into place to create and live in a van full time for the next 3 or 4 years.
      I had completely given up on any notion of home ownership but not only will van life give me a chance to have a place of my own It will also allow me to save significantly more money so I can actually have a chance of being able to buy a real house.

      Basically moving both, the living area and the raise bed to the back together. You can hangout looking at the beach an still having two queen size bed.
      Just pay for the rest, toilet, massive battery pack etc. I at least will also put a full size (10.3 CuFt) 12V fridge.

      it's not just the toilet but the ancillary upgrades required that make this expensive. It requires a 2kw+ *dedicated* inverter(hence why the build uses a dual phase 3kw inverter) and takes about 2kwh per flush. That's 50% of a winnebago revel's power supply just for 1 flush. Once you have the power down, you now have to upgrade the suspension due to all the extra weight of the electrical system or the car will be undriveable.

    @SpanishSpearo Рік тому +46

    Love the layout and styling. Just an idea for the lifting bed. Part of the roof of the van could be cut and raised a few inches so when the bed is raised and not in use it sits flush with the rest of the van ceiling. This will give you standing height throughout the van. The bulge on the roof can be made aerodynamic. This is used in larger camper vans with a raising bed. I think it would make a significant improvement not having to crouch for taller people.

Go to bed with push of a button, make you bed also by the push of button. Just perfect, you got the big seating area, for dining, working or having friends over yet can sleep in a proper sized bid. Even better then his last build which I was really into as well. The incinerator toilet was a little over the top luxury thing, but hey, if you can afford it why not enjoy van life and off grid camping without the stress of other camping toilet solutions.

The only thing I'd change up is the storage and that's personal preference. I'd make the back a hanging closet and the hanging closet a pantry. That massive battery bank is amazing. Everything is overbuilt and finished really nice. Great attention to detail. This is definitely how you do a build. This thing will last for years.

I love this layout so much because the kitchen is near the back when you're picking up supplies from a grocery store you can open the back and not go through the side. I wish I could have an incinerating toilet, it is so worth it, I think. I love how you incorporate walkable solar panels on top and a sky light to look through. This literally is the best layout I have seen because I want to walk completely through the whole van for flow. Oh and I also love the little garage for storage, it's perfect.
