Nothing back here has to fold away before something else can happen, the bed stays made and the table stays up, all in the same footprint. That's really the point of a layout like this, not choosing between comfort and function every time you want to sit down. What's the one thing you wouldn't want to fold away every time?

In this video you can watch the VersaBed slide sideways instead of folding up or converting from a bench, which is why the walkway through the van stays clear even with the bed fully out. We also show the bamboo and walnut finish options side by side so you can see the difference in person. Drop your questions about the VersaBed below.

Same tongue-and-groove ceiling on every build we finish, but the cabinetry underneath isn't really up to us, it's up to whoever we're building it for. Swipe through to see this one finished out in blue instead of the usual white, same ceiling overhead either way. Warm and neutral, or a pop of color, which would you pick?

The captain's chairs swivel all the way around to face a table that mounts right between them, and fold flat out of the way when you need the floor space instead. Swipe through to see it all come together. 🪑

This build has a Laveo Dry Flush toilet, which means no black tank and no plumbing hooked up to the toilet at all, just a liner that seals everything after each use and gets swapped out when it's full. We also build cassette toilets and composting toilets, depending on how someone actually plans to use the van. Which style would you go with for your own build?

We left before sunrise and didn't park again until the sun was going down, and the drive itself ended up being the whole point of the day. Some routes are worth taking slow. Coast or mountains for your next long drive?

Step through the side door and it's a full kitchen with a real sink and faucet, a swivel-mount table that folds out of the way, and a bench that doubles as extra storage, all before you even reach the bed in back. Ask us anything about how it all fits into one van. What's the first thing you would add to yours?

This build is built on a Transit platform, and it gets the same hand-finished cabinetry and attention to detail as every van that leaves our shop, regardless of what chassis it starts on. Swipe through to see how it came together. Save this if you're still deciding on finishes.

The dog picked the spot before anyone else got a vote, and honestly it wasn't a bad call. Swipe through to see the rest of the setup. Share this with whoever keeps talking about getting a van and hasn't yet.

Most people drive out to the trailhead and drive straight home the same night. This time, the plan was just to stay, park right where the trail starts, and let tomorrow morning be a hike instead of a drive. Where would you park to wake up at a trailhead?
