Welcome to our latest van tour! We just finished this van conversion with a full bathroom in a 2018 144" Mercedes Sprinter Van.
When our client, Edward, came to us wanting to build a van with a bathroom in a 144” Sprinter, we knew it was going to be a challenge. We got creative to be able to give him a full bathroom with a toilet and shower, a convertible table/bed area, a closet for storage and a full kitchen.

Your van builds stand top tier above the major brands! Wherein most corporate camper vans are badly engineered that ironically struggle to fit or, rather, possess a washable lavatory. How insane is that? But for your business and ingenuity, it's a no brainer! *GREAT JOB!*

At last! A van that has my priorities! Shower & toilet, no oven and no cooktop. Just give me a good sink like this one, and enough counter space for a hot plate. Only thing I'd add is a convection microwave. I don't need "workspace" because I'm (blissfully) retired. Love this.

I think the design, especially a full sized shower into a fairly small van, is just great! Very skilled designers Ive been wondering about whether to buy a MWB or a LWB to get fitted out. I need an office and if i get ideas I need to fly outa bed and get it down. So its either an office or a bed. Unless I get a LWB. No making the bed each night. Office always there.

This would be perfect for me when I'm in California and to take road trips in the summer with my 5 year old grandson. The only thing I might change is having the table almost the same height as the kitchen counter and a small pull out counter on the side of the countertop to make a little extra corner counter, food processing space. If that makes sense. I also have ideas about the kitchen being in the back for an outside type kitchen, opening the back doors. Yet that might take away from the self contained aspect of the whole design. (Maybe put the faucet on one side?) Idk. Anywho, I would love for you guys to build me a custom designed van. That would be epic...

have you heard of Natures Head, C-head, or AirHead? They are all composting toilets that you do not need a holding tank in your van. you just regularly empty the pee jug. No plumbing required. We have a review on our channel on the Natures head: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pstjddWYv8nZYXU.html (Spoiler alert, we love it, it is worth it's weight in gold in regards to vanlife, tiny living, or just the eco-conscious consumer) We are excited to give a review on the c-head (in the newest build that we are currently building). Not too many people go with the C-head, but the best part about the c-head is that you can switch out the pee jug with any gallon jug, not just the proprietary pee jug (like the natures head and the AirHead) that you must rebuy if you don't want it to get too rank smelling. if you have a composting toilet, you know the smell isn't ever the poop. It is always the rank pee. Pee mixing with your solids is actually what makes all that business smell, if you keep it separate it shouldn't smell at all.
