Hey hey! There's been a ton of interest in where the kiddos sleep in the rig, and @shelterinplacezz just made a video explaining just that! Check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rM2TpNeWl7ivpGQ.html 😊

Hey everyone, thanks for all of your comments! I do see a lot of interest in seeing where the kids sleep. We usually set up a tent if we’re staying in a campground but I will be putting together a video and showing how we all sleep in the van! Keep looking out for the video should be coming out soon!

Greg & Maria mentioned that typically they set up a tent outside for sleeping. :) However, they are going to make a KZfaq video soon about how all of them can sleep in the van. Check out their channel to stay up to date: youtube.com/@shelterinplacezz

Looks like you upgraded to more aggressive tires? Totally worth it. I have the same van and never get stuck. The original factory tires were more for commercial use.

Great job! I have the same van and it cost me nearly double to have it custom built! Mine has many more features, but still, the fact that you did this yourselves, so beautifully, is impressive. You did all the important things😮. Congrats! Btw, I had the same concerns with propane and, like you, went with induction. In hindsight I was probably over cautious. The cooktop is a huge power hog, tho I love it.

@shelterinplacezz 2 ай бұрын

I totally agree! It takes a lot of energy. We cook outdoors whenever we can. The B2B charger really does a great job to top off the batteries when driving

THANK YOU, great van and appreciate you sharing with us. @shelterinplacezz 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻,. Love the above door ‘flight centre’ reminds me of an aircraft flight deck hub. In case you are interested, there are some great WRAP Campervan Awnings (OLPRO) (CAYMAN COMBO AIR) that connect to the back and the side of a campervan RV, super for extra sleeping places and a great lounge area as well, and they are drive away, so you can use your vehicle & Awning stays and your campsite saved 👍🏻👏🏻 Thank You again for sharing 👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️🇦🇺

Thank you! Very much appreciated!!! This was a crazy project born during Covid. As first time van builders we had no idea how much work it would be! It was definitely worth it in the end, we are making some great memories and enjoying every minute of it! Let me know if you have any links to the awnings, I have been checking those out, but can’t seem to find any that would fit our build.

I am thinking that everyone gets on the bed for relaxing, as you mentioned however, should you choose, down the road to do van living, you have to figure where the kids will stay, at night. Can you, in the future, cover an issue like this because, so many if us our thinking the same way. Nice tour.

@thevagabondonwheels4918 Ай бұрын

In terms of basic layout, this is actually pretty similar to the (albeit much more expensive) Panoramic RV van. That Panoramic is, as far as I can tell, the only manufacturer to adopt this floorplan surprises me because it really is an excellent basic floorplan for a Promaster, which is the only one wide enough to really to an elevated east/west bed without bumpouts. You guys did a great job, especially considering your budget.

@thevagabondonwheels4918 Ай бұрын

Update: I have since noted that the Noovo van also uses this basic layout. So that's two.

Not so “family friendly” if half the family doesn’t get to sleep in a bed! I specifically watched this to get layout ideas for a van with two kids- why do I have to watch another video to find out where the kids sleep?

@lanawallace2964 2 ай бұрын

Beautiful van but where the heck do the kids sleep when you’re temporarily on the road? Do you all just squash up on that bed. It’s not really a family van if there’s no mention of where the kids sleep. It’s perfect for a couple though 🥰

@shelterinplacezz 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for checking out the video! We are going to be putting together a small video to show how all four of us sleep in the van. We are part-timers so we spend most times with the family in campgrounds where we set up a tent for the boys.
