Planning the layout for your van build can be overwhelming. There are so many factors to consider decisions to make and not that much space to work with!
Here are our top 5 tips to help you in planning your Van Layout.
1. Make A List of Your Top Priorities
You won’t be able to fit EVERYTHING into your van that you want so it’s important to understand what are your top priorities, especially if you’re going to be living in a van with your partner.

We just shared our house and shop tour on YouTube, and we’d figure we would do another blog post sharing about how we designed and picked out stuff for our house.
It was important to us to keep things simple and minimal, and we still don’t have or plan to do much decorating. We didn’t skimp when it came to buying furniture - we wanted high quality pieces that will last for years to come. We feel like we’re past our days of buying cheap IKEA furniture, so we invested quite a bit of money buying things we absolutely love for our house.

If you missed the big news, we bought a house and a shop in Boise, Idaho! For the first part of this year, we were renting a shop in San Diego to build out custom van conversions. With our little boy on the way, we knew that we wanted to settle down and buy our own property with a house and shop to have a home base for us and our business.

One of the first steps to making van life a reality is figuring out which van to build in.
Our top two favorite vans for van conversions are:
the 170” wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter
the 159” Extended Dodge Ram Promaster
We’re currently building in a 2019 159” extended Promaster for our clients, Michele & David, so we’d figure we would cover some of the differences between the 159” extended Promaster vs the 170” Sprinter. Watch the video below for some of the pros and cons for each van.

Welcome to our latest van tour! We just finished this van conversion with a bathroom in a 2018 144" Mercedes Sprinter Van.
When Edward came to us wanting to build a van with a bathroom in a 144” Sprinter, we knew it was going to be a challenge. We got creative to be able to give him a full bathroom with a toilet and shower, a convertible table/bed area, a closet for storage and a full kitchen.

We’ve completed another van build! This van was built for our client, James, in his 2018 4x4 170” Mercedes Sprinter Van.
He opted for the Outdoorsman Layout which features a “mini” garage for storage under the table/bed area, a convertible table/bed area, a wet bath with a Dometic toilet & shower, and ample storage in his kitchen/cabinetry.

Wow, we are both SO excited to share this Sprinter Van conversion for a family of four!
When Cal and Cindy came to us with the challenge of incorporating in another bed for their two kids to sleep, we knew we had to get creative.
They loved the convertible bed/table area that we incorporate into our builds as well as the full bathroom with a toilet and shower. Since we had to install a bench seat for the kids to ride in while driving, we knew that this van build was all about maximum storage and functionality!
