See How To Build These 7 Different DIY Vans
The Beach House
Perfect for singles and couples!
This van layout is our personal favorite. In fact, we lived in this van as a couple for almost 2 years.
The best feature of “The Beach House” van layout is its expansive window layout. The wraparound side & rear window design allows you to back your van up to any landscape and instantly live in natural luxury.
This van layout includes a functional design with light wood features, lots of natural light, a full kitchen, full bathroom with a toilet and shower, and convertible bed/dining area.
The Outdoorsman & the extended outdoorsman
Perfect for the adventure lover!
Underneath the main living space, this van features additional dedicated space for bikes, boards, camping gear and more.
“The Outdoorsman” van layout boasts darker, more natural looking wood features, a full kitchen, bathroom, shower, and convertible bed and dining area.
If you’re bringing active gear with you on the road, this van layout is perfect for you. It’s dual floor design gives you plenty of extra storage in the main van area as well as in the mini garage area underneath the table/bed.
The Family Van
Perfect to Sleep a Family of 4!
This layout was inspired by our clients who needed a sleeping and seating solution for them and their two kids.
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!
So we ended up coming up with a convertible bunk bed solution by utilizing a HappiJac bed lift. This gave them the best of both worlds - they have a place to sit and eat together as a family AND two beds - the lower bed is an almost king size bed and the top bed is double size.
MINI BEACH HOUSE
144” Sprinter with a Bathroom
This is our most recent van layout and was inspired by our client who is a solo male traveller. He didn’t need as much space so he opted for the 144” wheelbase Sprinter Van but still wanted to have a full bathroom since he is living in it full time. We adapted our original Beach House layout to fit the 144” Sprinter.
THE SEASIDE
159” Extended Promaster with a Bathroom
The Seaside layout is perfect for those who want to store longer items like surfboards, skateboards or skooters inside. The 7" tall "mini-mini" garage between the two benches is perfect for sliding in these items.
We built this 2019 159” Extended Promaster Van for our clients Michele and David. They are going to live in this van conversion full time so they wanted a full bathroom with a Nature’s Head composting toilet and shower as well as a full 3 burner stove and oven combo.
THE LOFT
159” Extended Promaster with a Bathroom
The Loft layout features a full-time platform bed with a full bathroom, kitchen, closet and seating area that converts into a secondary sleeping space for guests.
This layout was designed to fit bikes and other gear in the garage accessible from the back doors.
