After travelling around Europe for 5 weeks in our self converted campervan we thought we would give you the full tour of how we fit 7 people in it to travel. We believe this is the perfect layout and has everything we need, we haven't seen another van with this new layout. Our van has 7 seats for travelling, 3 single beds and 2 double beds , toilet, kitchen, and full off grid electrical set up.
We built this van in just 4 months.
Let us know what you think in the comments.

I’m the same! I’m planning a van build for myself and my dog and I have friends saying “what if I want to come see you on your travels?” - I’m like… errr get a hotel close by?? 🤣🤣 I only want a bed, a shower, large fridge freezer, toilet, kitchen/possibly small sitting area and solar and to be able to drive round Europe with my dog! Just need to find a van and a van conversion/builder - cause I can’t knock a nail in! 🤣😖🤪

Truly lovely, efficient & comfortable set up ~ so impressive! How thoughtful to arrange the extra leg room for your tallest~ I'm sure he's grateful. Our youngest son was already 6'4" at 14 yrs old, so I understand the adaptations. The experiences & memories you're blessing your children with are priceless~ such a wonderful life they're having. Not to mention the cooperation skills, patience & tolerance opportunities, also priceless, imho. My husband & I live & travel in a 21ft Vista Mini class C that's 7ft across at widest point, & somehow you seem to have more room =) We could pare down some more I suppose, yet w/just the two of us now, it's actually more than enough. Thank you kindly for sharing your build in this post.* I notice you both still have all your hair, which means you're already modeling enormous patience yourselves~ well done!

I would need to see this with all 7 people inside it to really see how it works. Those 4 seats look less comfortable than in an airplane. Where does everyone sit (presumably) to have meals? Or is this only used in good weather so you're outside? That top sleeping area for the littles is positively claustrophobia inducing. I live in a conversion van with 2 cats and people wonder at that. 😳😂

It's cool there are so many beds, but I assume this can't be a long term/full-time living space... But even so where do you put all of your clothing (clean and dirty) and other personal items? Do you use mostly disposable dining and silverware? I only ask because again, it doesn't seem like there is a huge storage area. I like it! Instead of a tent it's like a more sturdy camping situation and gives you some extra comforts you wouldn't necessarily have in a regular type tent and you can drive it places so it's easier to set up!

Id' like to know how you get all those electrics off of one battery. I've got 2 batteries and a solar panel, no inverter as the 3000watt inverter I had was draining the batteries too much. I'm freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer. So, I'd like to know what I have done wrong? It would be lovely to live completely off-grid, but I can't because I don't have enough power for the heater in the winter nor the fans in teh summer. I've resorted to buying one of these Ecoflow batteries, which is really noisy when I power it up via the solar panel (which smashed soon after I bought it!) and it's really noisy. You have managed a great set-up. I just wish I could get mine sorted.

The only thing we didn't see was how you cook your food. You mentioned that on one trip you had a microwave along. Do you have a cooktop? Cook outdoors? We were amazed at how much storage you created and still had room for each of you to sleep comfortably! 😊 It took a lot of planning to accomplish that.

I think under the bed, to the left he mentioned a range thing. I’m assuming for indoors or out.

@@bobbigeehan7221 To me? Better than a mat on the ground in a tent. 🤷‍♀️ Navy sailors don’t seem to mind either. Don’t know what to say otherwise if it ain’t your thing. They are camping, and having adventures with a place to sleep, not living in it full time.

Thank you for watching. We cook inside and outside of our van. We have two hobs, air fryer & microwave. We store them away so we have more prep area when we are making meals without equipment 😊

@BudgetTravelFamily that's similar to what I do when I use my Instapot. Get everything ready to go and then bring it out to cook the food in. You get creative in small spaces! 👍

We haven’t put a shower in yet, although we made the room for it. It would be waterproofing before we do.

Good for a vacation, but to live in fulltime. What about privacy for the kids. Teens need privacy. But a good job.

Overall, it’s not really a bad van. I would say that if you’re travelling around York for five weeks and then it’s going to be very classy phobic. I would also say personally, I never liked facing that way when I’m travelling like to forward where I know I’m going In theory, I’d have to be sleeping just at that top Also, do you have like an awning or something that you can add to it? So I in the daytime or something or wherever you’re travelling for a couple days so that you can have an opportunity? What do you do when the kids are sleeping?

How do you get Into the top beds. Do you have a ladder. Impressive amount of beds for a small space. A RV would be more spacious for a large family.

How do they climb up their beds? I don't think I can on my own without a ladder or climbing like spiderman on the walls and grasping on things.. hehehe I'm also baffled on how 7 people can have a tiny space in the garage for their bags and clothes. Really impressive minimalism. 😀

We created a space for a shower but haven’t set one up yet. I doubt we will now as we much prefer to use that space as our toilet & extra clothes / toiletries storage. We shower at swim / gyms or campsites
