I was lucky enough to meet Konrad and Lisa while climbing at Oliana and they gave us a tour of their really innovative van conversion.
The craftsmanship and attention to detail were really impressive. It's amazing that they've managed to fit a large bed and a dining area into the van without having to go for an extra long wheel base. (The van is a Renault Master LWB HighTop)
The bed extends with a slider, as does the seats and there are a few other cool features. I am sure there are a few ideas here that you could use for your own van conversion in the future!
I hope you enjoyed this tour, don't forget to help us out by liking and subscribing :)

Thanks
I´m also not the best english speaker and im happy to see all the positiv comments here! It give you a good feeling about the humanity and the own skills! Thank you!
The pass-through from kitchen to front cabin is genius. Pure genius.
This is the most german conversion video i've ever seen - and it's beautiful!!
I love the little touches of the folding tables. Not just because it's space saving but because the couple are climbers. The clips and such are climbing tools so it's adorably personal
Regular van folks would use an eyelet to hold the table up.
Climber van folks use a carabineer and a 30 kN anchor hanger :)
haha so true!
And the climbing gear is much more resistant and more stylish
like a true carpenter, he is very proud of the details....vel done!
This was soo calming to watch due to their chill vibe and cute accents. I have friends from from Germany and they too speak like this. I could listen to them all day.
Those two are the perfect combo for designing a van. Architect and carpenter!
Maybe throw an engineer in the mix, might not hurt. >.>
Maybe a interior designer :P
I didn't like this layout or design.

For being an architect and a carpenter I would of expected much more out of this van...specially for the table and storage solution!! I did love how they placed their kitchen tho!
That’s a cracking design and use of space. My only concern would be the steel support beams for van shell were not insulated so cold could transfer from van shell to warm interior then produce condensation. A fantastic van conversion though. Many ideas to pinch👍😂
"60 centimeters breit"; "just fold this um" - I love German-English😂
Denglisch :-)
its much to less
Love the work space that folds to allow access to the cab. Brilliant.
Always in awe of non native speakers' English speaking skills... it takes a lot of balls to just talk a filming stranger through the technical features of your van conversion in a language that is not your own
Love the whole fridge/ seat / worktop/ walk through to cab section - really clever. Only thing I would alter is the table. I would prefer a fold down leg rather than the strap. Love his attention to detail with the cabinets.
i thought the same.
Strap at the top allows feet and legs to be swung under the table easily. Much easier getting two people in and out of the setting.
I have a folding table similar to theirs in my van and I used a very strong folding support bracket that can hold 200 pounds or more. I got the bracket at Rockler in the USA for $30 US.
I use a similar strap set up. This is practical for many reasons. A support or leg is not practical for many reasons. (A support/leg would need to be longer than the table itself. If the van is on any angle the support/leg is useless etc etc). Easy. Lightweight. I too like this idea for accessing the front. I've kept my metal bulk head and as yet not devised a way (many ideas) to access through... but this has given me some inspiration...

This actually gave me a very good idea to copy for my layout, the kitchen there it's great to use that space that I had otherwise left almost empty but without purpose. Now I can have more space in the middle, for mini living room and have a bigger bed than I was planning for.
Plus I really like it more than the average kitchen on the sides.
Finally a good inspiration!
Plus I love the top furnitures, seem more reliable than the bigger ones. I had terrible experiences with my former van (that I didn't build) and now I am terrified that furniture would just fall off at the first bump while driving.
You can see where each person has applied their skills, and beyond that, you can see they have thought about each other in the design. Very nice.
There are some really great multipurpose ideas I can use in my bus conversion, cannot wait to get started. I think my favorite was the seat over fridge and the area also works for food prep.
You meet such nice people , this van is great love the walkthrough kitchen. Best wishes on their travels and thanks for sharing.
It’s a lot easier to listen to at 1.25x speed
I didn't know this feature existed until your comment. 100% true in this case =)
maybe 1.5
1.75 and the girl speaks normally
Great tip, thanks!
Holy shit
i like this design
its basically a fixed bed with more room to move around in the day then just slide it out to full size bed
love that they put the control panel for all electrical and gas away from the sleeping area. and neater. always make you feel anxious to see all cables and wiring so haywire at the back or below the huge bed 😁❤️
I love the small attention to detail (wood grain etc) that only the builder would ever know.
I love the way they speak it’s literally adorable
cool van with some clever ideas I like the magnetic curtain, so simple and works so well. Would like to meet those people they seem so friendly and kind.
I love how they left some of the interior van frame exposed, the holes in it become subtle design elements, picking up the holes he used in some of the wood for ventilation as a theme. It reminds me of some of the modern buildings I have toured, they expose the ceiling structure and wall structure, adding texture and interest. Exposing these interior frame elements also lets your walls be as thin as possible, moving the effective wall outward, as opposed to people who cover the frame with boards, then add another layer of covering, closing down the space losing the openness. It also gives you access to places to hang stuff later on, as you live in it. One of many little elements that show the care and experience and genius of the builders!
But it's not insulated, which is a big mistake if you ever visit somewhere that doesn't have +15/20 c in the night. Also the heating gets much harder. Their "design element" of exposing is just stupidity here.
Put magnets on the front of your bed frame to store the green curtains and hid your boxes during the day...better aesthetic...
Love this van (and the builders!) - I’ve come back to this several times whilst designing my own, so thank you!
I love them and their van build!
Very inspiring, thank you, Nate! Lovely couple, and fine work in building out this van. Loved the kitchenette area, smart!
Stunning, so practical, and clearly so much thought and skill has gone into the design and the build. Wonderful! Happy travels😊
I really like this van build!!! Sooo many creative and very organized useful ideas here in this van. It's amazing how he remembers all those measurements. I know how he feels, only i know where the mistakes were made in my van build and they'll drive you crazy but no one else understands nor sees it lol. Thanks for sharing.
Love this van. You can see the time they put into making this masterpiece and what a lovely couple 👌
It is nice how you utilized the small space.
The Grey boxes are known as "Euro Crates/Containers/Boxes" if any one wants to get similar boxes for their van!
In several European countries you can buy them at the Bauhaus homedepo stores.
Or find a company selling storage equipment for offices and workshops.
Awesome! Was gonna put a comment about them but don’t have to now. Cheers!
Easy to find in U.S. they are used in manufacturing plants etc. I like them because you DON'T have to build anything.
These guys are like really, REALLY chill. I like them already. Nice van.! Maybe a little insulation, but hey, just cuddle.!
Gorgeous ~ love the wood color & details, Oh La La
It is such a beautiful van, and such a beautiful video. I don't know you all very well, but it looks like you are beautiful people. Thank you for sharing!
The attention to detail is amazing! Beautifully executed! Nice couple.
Their German accent is so strong😂 I love it🙈
yes, it's so funny. I am from Switzerland and I can speak fluently English. For me it is so funny to hear German words mixed with English✌🏽😂
ganz ganz furchtbar 🙉
"And if you don't need so much cooking space, you may sit here and drink some vine or vatwever" Lol. Adorable. 😁
@@Lotte07 ja gell
Switch the mattress "um" because :) 9:30
All I could think the whole vid was "They didn't insulate." Still great touches.
DaDavidVids same 😁
And it appears they did very little research on the solar, BUT they have some GREAT ideas & beautiful setup
germans dont insulate,bitch :D
Apparently insulating is pointless in hot climates.
@@007nadineL In hot climates you wanna insulate because @ midday your car can fry you and all your stuff inside.
Very nice build.love the craftsmanship and the clever usage of space. And i like the quick lesson about the wood grain.
I just decided to sketch up some ideas last and I did something similar to your kitchen!!! I am so excited to see this. I sorta dont like when people block the large slider door so I thought that work around would be nice! Thanks for the tour.
Exceptionally functional van design. Stay safe, and thank you for sharing your home.
Great job! Thanks for sharing.
I feel like this man is my friend
He would probably be!
Not these people, only the man, right? That female thing should go in the kit-schen and prepare y'all men some dinner.
The fact that you can build furniture facing with 9mm, and structural 12mm....saves a lot of weight. I'd like to see how the insulation is done :)
Such a great build! Thanks for sharing.
Magnetic window blinds are brilliant.
Your use of English is adorable in addition to very descriptive.
Furnitures
That is one sweet van.
Well thought out and executed.
10/10 for Van Build
That is super similar design idea which I am planning for my future van. Both the bed and kitchen area, just are few differences 😄👍👏
What do they do for shower and toilet? Lovely matched veneer work! Like the detail on using stable material so no warping as well. I'm not fond of the plastic containers in plain sight though. For aesthetics perhaps add sliding accordion folding doors to cover up some of those areas. Very nice couple!
They want ventilation. Maybe a open weave fabric panel? Or fabric attached to the front of the boxes?
Should include links for the brands of pieces he mentions. I think its well done. The attention to detail is special. The mountain climber in them shows in the straps to hold the tops, where someone use supports below. Thanks Mr. Nate.
Very nice and you have to have the right person to share the space together I see they have that. 👍🏽well thought out and put together
Beautiful space. I love the pull out seat and fridge. The double deck utensil/coffee drawer is brilliant. I see there are metal parts of van showing around/between the wood walls. Does that cut down on the insulation efficiency?
I'm thinking they felt the hanger holes were worth the loss, since just insulation would be insufficient without a heater anyway?
Super-clevere Design-Ideen! Toll gebaut! :)
The van seems to be small, so they went for the essential stuff. And, it's the first time I see a kitchen right behind the cockpit, why not.
Very nice, very talented people.
Ingenious details and beautifully crafted but I wondered why the 'hanging' table did not use an undermounted swing out, wooden and routered out triangular brace as this would have allowed more space around the table minus the strap ... maybe knee room ? Perhaps move the table a couple of centimetres over, thete looks to be room - as when you are eating/working you won't be cooking - then knee room is not an issue. I guess if they had used wire to minimise the intrusion instead of the bulky material strap it could be hazardous as it would be almost invisible. The strap seems so big and in the way though! Also noticed the lack of insulation/cover along the van struts (original manufacture metal 'studs' with holes in it) and back doors. R-value would drop due to thermal loss ?? Has this been a problem or was this a part of their design - perhaps to increase the footprint of the interior of the van ? Most conversions I have seen stuff/spray insulation into the voids and cover these. I am curious why these were left exposed. The standard of construction is so great and everything is considered otherwise ... so presumed they had a reason ?! What was the length /wheel base of the van please. I love the colourful straps used for her 'library'. Really nice design - looks like a piece of art.
I'm watching this in bed, with the same IKEA bedding as they have :)
I got some ideas from this van, thank you, but the kitchen, bed, rear storage, small tables, overhead
storage, fridge... are in every van, the difference is in how you balance the use of space to solve toilet and shower needs which were not addressed.
Some nice clever details 👍🏻
Fantastic! Your Ideas are amazing, and two lovely people you are ,well done and thankyou! dx
Incredible build and couple! Thanks for sharing y'all!
Who else guessed they were climbers when the folding table presented the clip and strap???
This is awesome! Excellent work! Love you guys from Bangladesh.
Used to have a van, I prefer a see through curtain, I had a gray one that was thin enough that you could see out in the daytime but not in because of the darkness inside/light difference.
German carpenter, still remembers the exact dimensions of everything. I forget that shit on my walk to the saw.
Matching wood grain is a bitch and I feel his pain. The PAIN!
Haha :D
A designer and a builder. Super 👍
I can see those details too. I like the choices they made in engineering and design. I'm taking notes
Innovative and impressive design, I'm thoroughly impressed. And I didn't see the mystery millimeter.
Hello, Your video gave us some great ideas for making more storage room in our motor home. I see remolding in the near future.
I read architect and I was so excited. Then the guy pulls out the seat and looked like it was going to break than he moved down and try to convince us and his self that 2 people could fit lmaoo. I'm done with that strap to hold the table lmaoo
its more like a climber gimmick
Good job guys .its like very good.!!!
I "like"! ;) really cool van Konrad and Lisa!!!!
lol
Gorgeous!!!!!
This is a great build. I have a question, what is the insolation in the walls and roof? Because I see that the original metal frame is still visible. Is it the Renaud factory insolation or did they made it? I wish they left their IG or YT
I love this design! Cheers!
Love the sink hand pump!
Aaaaaaand finally subd...
As a non english spoken, i understand much more better when a german, or french, or spanish speaking in english.....
I really can't to understand english when an american, canadian, British or australian speaking...
ya. its fine. i love the timid enthusiasim!
Lovely conversion. Loads of storage space, I like that 👍
What do they do about showering though? I didn’t hear anything mentioned. I’ve seen a couple of conversions with built in showers and toilets which, although great for comfort, seems to take up loads of space. What’s the alternative though?
Deniz Mehmet Their European, not anal Americans, myself included!
@@mitchellbarnow1709 I'm European too, but have an imported American RV, when it's dark, cold, wet and windy I couldn't imagine being without my nice warm bathroom!
@@byebye9785 There's nothing like a nice hot shower when its cold outside.
Thank you for sharing! Safe travels.....
Very neat van
very nice little cottage.......thank you!.....c
ive never seen a van builder who aligned the grain like that lol well done m8
I know right... serious attention to detail!
Any van converted by an architect I’m there. I clicked on this so fast. Lol
love it! really like the use of space :)
Actually, would be awesome to know where they got that pump for the sink. I am trying to find one but I don't find mechanical ones, only electrical, which I also would not want.
This van is really German!
Great video! Love the build :)
Beautiful van and one of my favorite! ❤❤
Ach ja se tschörmäns on se road
luja sog i
Very nice!
Well done!
That's a wonderfull work, enjoy your travel ! All your's are welcome in Málaga
Hi nate I commented the other day that your channel was going more down the climbing and cooking route I was saying that I subscribed because you were building van and that was what I was into since I made that comment you've been putting a lot more van builds and van tours on your channel great work mate is getting better and better love watching cheers Jason 😊
Thanks Jason! Glad you like the van content we are making :D
Nicely done. Did they insulate? What about thermal bridging from those exposed metal ribs? I guess it’s a trade off for more space.
Very nice people and. This van is not not luxurious but functional. My regrets no toilet and no bathroom and impossible for a full timer I think..
Sorry for my English, i’m a real french 😂😂😂
Thank’s a lot for sharing
Sam 💚 Pyrénées
congratulations... very nice!!
