      Yeah, those were good tips about the lightness of the balsa wood and lithium batteries. Another tip I saw on another van build video was to use ceramic tile-looking decals in place of real ceramic tiles on the splash guard behind the cooking area.

      You get what you deserve. When 99.99 % of comments are “this is the best build I have ever seen” there is no incentive to be real. I’ve decided when I hire employees I should look at their UA-cam comments to see how high their standards are.

    This is the best ever bed solution. You always have a 2/3 bed done, and save a lot of space. I always imagined this solution, but never found in any van conversion.

      I agree. I would still do things differently for myself. Fridge in a drawer? No. The toilet needs a curtain, no matter how much you love your partner, I don't need to watch them poop. But I think they only use it in an emergency. And do you need 5 big knives on a magnetic bar when camping? I'd rather put spices on there. All in all, a well thought-out and professionally executed solution.

The van had the double sized swivel passenger chair, the couch and then the bed and he had that adorable reddish dog that he called a cocker spaniel ( which I'm sure it was but to me it looked like a baby Irish setter lol).

      Most dumps are done in the morning that's mother nature. And they have an exhaust fan. And the pee quietly and instantly goes into the pee reservoir so there is no flushing noise. They could rig up curtains for visual privacy. And public bathrooms and nationwide gyms are all over the place so you dont have to rely on the toilet 100%.
