Your van build is gorgeous and so functional! I think you were smart not to add a lot of decor to the van. That will allow you to find pieces that you love from your travels and add them to the van at your leisure! It is so sad to fall in love with a beautiful little something but have no space to put it!

Iโve seen many van conversion reviews and this is by far the best one. Amazing layout and plenty of storage while still having room to move around. I donโt usually leave comments, but I am very impressed. Great job guys!

Your build came out pretty incredible... I mean, it is utterly GORGEOUS. Not sure if Wehan is an electrician/wood craftsman or just a natural genius, but I did get lost on the electrical/inverter/yadda yadda stuff- I wish so much that my brain could understand it since I will be building out a Promaster soon. Anyway, thank you for sharing - so inspiring! Seriously, your van is beautiful!! I think you showed everything but where all your clean clothes are stored. I have so many clothes, I can't imagine sharing that kind of space with another with the amount I have, lol
-
This is one of my fav van conversions ive seen its super simple but everything serves a purpose and the colour choices are great! i think if i where ever to do a van it would be very similar.
-
I really like the van tour, two thumbs up for the bathroom and I like watching the way the couple communicate with each other. Both of them seem to be very knowledgeable about their van. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐

You are the first Van video person I have seen make a point of DC to DC computer charging!! Finally!! Love it. Totally the most efficient way to power anything that can take DC. I turn on my inverter for the microwave, the induction cooktop, and things that aren't used often so they did not make my mental list.
-
I love this van! The layout is so clever and the van is so bright and cosy. You've done a great job guys! You are very pleasant, natural and charming and this is reflected in the little house on wheels that you've built. A big hug from Chile.

Omg i love how organised and practical you guys are!! Itโs brilliant
-
Excellent and thorough tour. It's great to see a Sprinter in Oz as we plan to bring our Sprinter from Europe. It was great to hear about the seat conversion, fire extinguisher and rego for a self-conversion. This might not be interesting to others but very very interesting for us! Thanks so much
-
Such a lovely & airy interior. This is a functional and creative floor plan...lots of storage and room for everything!!! Oh, and I LOVE the coffee bar. Having dedicated spaces in small areas (like vans) makes such a difference in being able to organize. "A place for everything and everything in its place," sort of thing. Really well done and very special ๐๐

What an awesome van! It looks roomy and very homey! Thanks for sharing your home with us โค

Iโve seen alot of van builds over multi countries. But this 1 is absolutely perfect. Every thought, every detail, cost cutting that makes ton of sense, I love it. Only thing I think Iโd add would be a small window between the kitchen sink & work area. An make the shower just a little bigger. Other than that I wouldnโt change a thing. An you 2 need now is some home touchโs, plants, pictures. You 2 are awesome, look forward to more videoโs, so glad I came across this 1.

Your built is incredible... Hope you two have great van trips!
-
This is some of the best organizing I've ever seen (and my daughters are super organizers!) Your van is also very tastefully done! Good job!
-

Well done guys, very functional design, thanks for sharing.

๐ Straight up, you have my favorite van conversion yet. Really stylish and cosy and extremely functional. It feels like a home. Kudis to you!๐

Funny you two were a pleasure to watch. Honesty is the best policy โคyou told it like it was. Keeping it real. Great job and have an awesome journey!
-
Great tour of your van! I love the design, especially the table and seating area. Appreciate the very thorough tour and all the details.
