I’m not an expert or anything, but this is one of the best van builds I’ve ever seen. I love the hidden toilet. Everything is so clean and organized. Levi did an awesome job supervising you guys. Lol.

I wish you were from Poland 😅, I would order my first van directly from you guys ❤🎉 good job 👏 👍 👌 I always wonder why people take a shower in little space with toilets under the foot 🤔 😅😅😅 ... I thinking toilet should slide outside 🤔 but your idea 💡 is more practical 😊. I wish you and baby all the best.

I had a Van conversion shop in the 70’s we were proud of our selves mounting a toilet seat to 5 gal. bucket and they were metal back then!!! Hand water pumps for sink it’s come a long way and you’ve made best uses of space I’ve seen, the oven I like it’s perfect for space and I don’t think many cook 5lbs roast while out on the road. Having a shower and toilet space Perfect, I wish you could have seen the one I found back in the day, it had a metal pan that held water that you heated and poured in 12volt pump and a ring that you could hang on back door with shower curtain and spayed water from the ring it was great idea then but you all have this van Perfect you should be Bizzie WOW really it’s great to see this BEST OF LUCK TO YOUS.

I have been a couch RV'er for the last year and have seen hundreds and hundreds of videos. This is one of the best well considered camper van builds I have seen so far. Great to see independent builders doing such a great job. I think most of the big companies are stale in consideration of innovation, design and functionality. Need people like you to shake things up. Great job.

This is an awesome build! The only thing I would change would be to move the shower/toilet room opening closer to the front of the van. This is in order to make it easier to access the toilet if you want to leave it out when the shower isn’t needed and you wouldn’t need to step around it to get into the space. Moving the opening forward would also make the toilet less visible.
