This is a van build that I completed late 2021. It is based on the Ford Connect (2016 with 56,000km. I was able to fit a lot of features that usually don't exist in a van this size. It has 100L/20Gal water storage, shower, toilet, sink, hot water, fridge, automatic bed, 600w inverter, battery isolator, shore power, 200w Renogy solar system, aftermarket stereo and sub/amp that can be utilized with the vehicle off, heavy duty roof rack, class 3 receiver for a rear mounted motorcycle, dimming lights and neon mood lights. This van is best suited for someone 5'10" or smaller. Reach out with any questions as it is new and for sale.

Great build, and I'm so glad someone else uses a cassette toilet and says it doesn't stink! I use one because my van is just for trips, and it's so easy to take care of. You are right - if you use the proper additive, it doesn't smell at all. I often wonder what those people are doing that claim they smell. They sure aren't maintaining it properly... Maybe if I was full time, I would feel differently. But if you aren't living in your van, can you imagine having to clean a composting toilet every time you just take the van out for a weekend, because you sure couldn't leave it while the van is parked for a few weeks! I just dump the cassette in my toilet when I return home - easy peasy!

That is all possible but your heat source just has to be portable. I really really wanted a fixed heat source but there was no room left unfortunately. You could likely ditch the cassette toilet and that would solve that issue. 🤔

Awesome build. Super clean and well thought out. Only thing I would have done differently is the bed change. Seems like a waste of limited battery power when gravity would take care of it on the way down, and a simple hand movement in the other direction. But, if you're not worried about it, it's all good.
