About this van:
Mia's first self-build campervan was one of the first vans I toured on this channel! And you can see that first film here; • ARTIST creates a CHIC ...
Since then her talent at building incredible homes has only increased and this new build from her really is something special! From its unique, murphy-style flip-bed, to its massive work area for her to paint and its kitchen and spacious shower room - this is one of the most innovative conversions I've seen in a long time! Not one to miss!

I love how you can walk through the van and the bed space is still its own cozy little nook. There’s plenty of storage and a real indoor shower. I would say, it’s one of the best, most unique builds I’ve seen, replicating the look and feel of a home on wheels.

You can put the toilet in the shower, ive seen that heaps, people just roll it out when they shower. Simple, also the vacuum seal toilet is brilliant. It vacuum seals your poop 💩 down to a tiny size, once all the cartridges are full, you just put them in bim. No smell, no liquid to empty and environment friendly. 😊

This does NOT look like a van, or any kind of RV. It looks like a really nice studio apartment, both in floorplan and decoration. I absolutely adore this!! The only thing I really wish you had included in this video would be the entrance from the side sliding door. If there are other pictures, I would love to see them. I am so impressed with everything she did to this van, including her artwork. I am so inspired (& slightly envious) of her talent. She really should consider starting a business doing this for others. Not only does she include all the neccesry items for day to day living, she also adds little touchess here & there to make it so homey, elegent, comfortable & unique. Best van ever!!!! 💕💕💕

@mmariemarkel7482 9 ай бұрын

This has to be the most genius van layout I've seen in the thousands I've watched over the last seven years. The ONLY thing I'd change if it were mine is the wall color. Coupled with the dreary cloudy days of the UK 🇬🇧 it would take less than a month to have me so depressed I would do little else but sleep. 😴 Next would be hospitalization which isn't good. I'd paint it some light happy color, and some teal somewhere. Possibly the base cabinets in the kitchen and a very light teal for the back splash. Thanks for having her here.❤

@sophiemarcaurele 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, I agree that she should have plans for the layout! 🤔🤗 I love the Murphy bed... I’m rather claustrophobic so I would choose lighter colours and add a nice big window above the couch. I’d have to fit in a toilet and small fridge, then it would be perfect for me. I def want to use aluminum framing instead of wood as well so I love seeing good examples of this! 👌🚐 🎨 🐦 💪🏻🗺😎

Definately a good build for your purpose and for northern European climate! Assuming one could fit a toilet in somewhere and some form of fridge it’s amongst the top five plans in my book. I’d have put a picture window in over the seat for natural light doing artwork and a place to enjoy a scenic surrounding, but that’s just me, I need windows to not get the heebiejeebies in small spaces ;) Lovely and very schrewd! You should definately put your technical bedbuild plans out for purchase! ❤️🙏

This is exactly why I want a van too. To escape and be able to focus on my work for several hours at a time each day with minimal other demands on my time or attention. Since I'm just one person, I opted to build a sofa that expands to a bed for one but CAN be extended further up against a sideboard to fit 2 people if needed. I also did not want a fixed bed for the same reason. I MUST have a good work space. I love her color palette and the shower door! Well done!
