    It’s so crazy to think all that fits inside a van! I’m thinking of buying one of these vans because of how long they are! Great job

      Thank you so much! Definitely an Iveco LWB has so much room, which allows such a unique layout to each owners tastes.

    How in the world did you come up with the most innovative van design I’ve ever seen. My mind is blown by what you fit in there. It’s the Narnia of vans. From the kids bunks, bathroom, and amazing double bed to the most adorable floral upolstered fifth dining chair, I’m just blown away!

    What an amazing build… possibly one of the best self builds I’ve seen. This has helped me out massively with the confidence that I can fit my family of 5 in a van. All I need now is your imagination. Well done

      Thanks for your comment
      I have updated the bed setup as it was a bit high but yes 5 can be done. You can see all the updates on our Facebook page. If you like a bit of DIY then go for it as the hardest bit was actually making that decision to say I can do it, after that it was all fun and well worth it.
      Hope this helps you with your build.

    I would just add some ventilation to childrens beds somehow to be sure of the flow of fresh air n oxygen. The van is small cube for 5 ppl alone however. I would consider to basically put pillow in their beds on side thsts opened n in night I would be afraid of using any curtains that stop air flow. Just my point of view but couldnt not to get back here n share it as breathing especially in the night is important n fresh o2 is crucial

    • @bikefan7836
      @bikefan7836 3 роки тому

      Wanted to underline anyway that the van is amazing n how U contained everything is wow. Ur folding bed leaves me speechless at this point ... but Uve inspired me if I will eventually ever afford buying a van to make my dreams I know now its possible for my family to contain in that cubic :D
      All the best! Blessings

      Hi thanks
      From the back of the drivers seat to the back wall is 15ft so can get 2 6ft beds and a shower on one side

      its about 15ft from behind the drivers seat to the back doors so got 2x 6ft beds and a shower on 1 side
      it was hard fitting it all in but we managed it, safety was first with proper seats in the back for the kids then work with what was left
