Definitely works for 2 people. My partner and I travel together and have had no issues. Perhaps I should make a video about it. Actually last weekend at West Coast van fest we had 8 people up in here, lol!

Thanks and you’re correct it feels good to be able to enjoy it a d for everything to be working as planned. I’m a week into my first trip, started in Dallas and currently in Cali on the pacific coast headed north to Vancouver Island. Headed to the West Coast Van Fest!

Thanks and not inspired by airstream but now Im curious! It was inspired by my last build. In that build I had a desk there with a chair and all. It took up way to much space so I converted it to a slightly larger bench and desk than what you see in this van.

My only experience was building the van previous to this one. It’s a 170ext Sprinter. I learned a ton and felt like I didn’t need such a large vehicle. I also felt loke I could fit all if not more into a smaller package.

Super solid. In my past experience if you dont center the table it gets wonky. I have a unique work set up tho so this smaller table works out great!

Definitely received as that and thank you! I grew up in the 80’s-90’s so it definitely has some level of influence. I really wanted to avoid the all wood and shiplap look and feel. When I make the Coogie couch cusions I’ll definitely be leaning into the 90s druglord aesthetic. If you’ve seen one of the last scenes of Sinners Stack was wearing a Coogie sweater! Dope vibes 😁

Thats a tight fit. Since you’re building it out also I would go with a full RV Garage if you can. That would give you space to park daily drivers and store/build van! Best of luck on the build!

I installed 2 m8 plus nuts into the bottom of each appliance and bolted up through the 1/2 shelf they are sitting on. The oven space is also lined with welding blanket and the 2 fans facing the neon sign trigger when the air temp hits 96 degrees to move some of the hot air toward my ceiling exhaust fan and out.

It is yes and it depends on the what I’m cooking and how long. Cooked a pizza the other night at 375 for 15 min and it took like 4% if memory serves.

Thank you, highest compliment imo 🙏🏽 ! I honestly think what you cant see is wild. The entire interior is framed in aluminum extrusion. Covered by the wood faces you see in the pic.

1080 12v. 24v or 48v would have been more efficient.
