Gorgeous DIY Sprinter Van Conversion Tour
Переглядів 723,255
День томуTake a tour of Julia and Joe's beautiful camper van conversion they've built using recycled materials. They've converted their 2006 Mercedes Sprinter into a comfortable home for the road to go on adventures with their dog Taika.
The van features a large kitchen, living room with dining table, a bed running the width of the van, and an off-grid solar setup with diesel heater and hot water shower. #vanlife

Jordan Osmond Already subbed. Hard to say what my fave part was. I love THEM tho; they’re just so down-to-earth & seem like very kind ppl. I do love the tile & the fact they didn’t rush so they could recycle & upcycle things other ppl toss. This is one of my fave conversions. Oh, also I really liked where they placed the kitchen. I wish them all the best’✌🏼
@lilypoodles 3 роки тому
I loved the kitchen, and the fact they had one large bed and a slide out table! You can tell he's an excellent carpenter!
@patsypureheart3294 3 роки тому
I really liked the slide out table , much easier to use that other table units, I think I love that the bed goes all the way to the back, I’m thinking that would be a much better set up, our van leaves 18 across the back for utilities. Did they have bathroom facilities? Liked the shower option too. It’s a winner

@marirose756 3 роки тому
Katie Girl That’d be easy to rectify by putting in the garage a compost or even luggableloo seat w/5 gallon bucket; not best location but they might also be able to repurpose or dual purpose another area inside the van. But in any case, aren’t they an adorable couple?!?☀️
@Mel-qr5ob 3 роки тому
If u built a van like this one u could just switch out that giant dog stuff storage cupboard for a toilet. Or even a wet bathroom to get a shower in that spot as well. I have a whole house and don't even need that much dog-stuff storage space.
@bishokhan8926 3 роки тому
I have never been more jealous of short people lol
@tamistone2632 3 роки тому
Not only short, but apparently they never have to use a toilet either. That’s something to really be jealous about! Outside of a shower, there were no bathroom amenities in the van, amazing self body control.

@thomasbutera-kelly5626 3 роки тому
tami stone Did you miss the beautiful kitchen set up they’ve designed? You don’t do your business where you eat usually do you? This van’s space has been maximised for it’s purposes and that’s something to applaud - maybe they can hold it in a little longer than you can and make use of the many available bathroom amenities on the road, or if not, provide Mother Nature some fresh fertiliser! Fix your attitude.
@tamistone2632 3 роки тому
Tommy, I don’t know how you were raised, but since at least the 20th century let alone the 21st century people have inside plumbing WITH doors and walls. I know this might come as a great shock to you but a lot of these Sprinter Vans have bathrooms, cooking, and sleeping areas. It won’t behoove you to do a simple UKposts or Google search to confirm this. More importantly though, is why you would be so easily triggered by a strangers comment? It was a dry humorous comment that apparently went over your head. Everyone else that responded, save yourself seemed to get it. You do know there’s a correlation between intelligence and the ability to comprehend all forms of humour don’t you......?
@thomasbutera-kelly5626 3 роки тому
@@tamistone2632 Ha! Tami you can stop projecting now, your inferiority complex is fully justified. I wish I could agree with you here but then we would both be wrong. Not all van conversions have to tick off your subjective list of amenities to serve a purpose and be functional for different peoples' needs.

Ginger-- I know what you mean. It's a lovely conversion, but where could they put a toilet? I'm at a stage in my life that I don't want to wander out early or late to use a public washroom. And what if there is none nearby when one is truly off the grid? :( Also, is there an external electrical hook up if an outlet is available?

Brilliant. This is exactly how I'd love to do it, except I'd go for long wheelbase and live in it full-time! You've gone for the same colours/textures as my - 'compact' - kitchen at home. White cupboards open up the feeling of space and your wooden surfaces bring a feeling of warmth as well as bringing the 'outside inside'. Its simple, sleek, uncluttered, modern yet warm. Just perfect! Except you don't live in it Sandy - YET!

This conversion has been done with class and FINESSE. The tiles, wood work, and spice rack all add personality and flare but the functionality of every inch of space shows how much thought has been put into the design. I’m inspired by how well this young couple have maximised the space of this conversion. P.S. to the commenters obsessing over where to do your business - I’ve lived in a van without a toilet conversion for the last 5 years and always comfortably made do with my surroundings and nature. Truth be told, a nature squat is one of life’s finer pleasures. 🤠 More power to you J&J!
