Family of 4 VAN TOUR ! UNBELIEVABLE Open Layout - Shower, Toilet, Screen Doors! | Van Life

Self-built van for a family of 2 ADULTS and 2 TEENS! We watched ALL the videos and couldn't find a van conversion that would seat and sleep four grown-sized people while keeping an open layout. So we designed our own!

After a year of travel camping, we're happy to introduce the world to our van!

We're loving Black Vanlife !

I don't come across to many black families doing this but as a black woman it very inspiring. New subscriber!!! 🙋🏽‍♀️🥰

The whole time i was confused on how they would sleep. Then Boom ! The best sleeping arrangement for a family of four. The bathroom/shower, and Kitchen can still be used without disturbing each other. Most importantly the early folks can exit and enter the van through the back without disturbing anyone ! 👊🏽👊🏽

This is amazing!!!
I’ve never seen a van conversion with soo many innovative solutions! Good for you as parents for addressing many obstacles in order to give your teens such a beautiful experience.
I’m really inspired!!

This is the epitome of van life. So simple and functional. Not about showing off or collecting. Everything has a purpose and function. Hope your family has great and safe travels.

Great DIY build👍🏻. I would like to express how sad that I feel that your family have to worry for your safety while in traveling. It’s disheartening that our society can be so cruel, and closed off in regards to different cultures. This is America for gods sake, we are a melting pot of all peoples. Thank you for the video of your van tour. May you experience only joy in your travels.

I have been living in my van for 10 years and counting. It is not an actual camper van, but just simply a cargo van adapted for living. I plan to upgrade to an actual camper build or camper van from a lot. I have seen many camper van builds, this is one of my top 3 that I have ever seen. I am very impressed with you and your wife. May God bless you and your family and keep you safe on your journeys. Thank you for sharing!

The sleeping situation blew my mind 😂 Very nicely done. I’m so excited about the “AboveGround Railroad”… it’s desperately needed!

[leahhorak]

I watch a lot of van life / van builds on YouTube and yours is amazing. Love the whole layout. Please don't let the climate of our country keep you from going anywhere. My husband and I have been Rving for years and we found that even the places that we didn't think we would feel comfortable in, turned out wonderful there's beauty in the scenery and in people everywhere. Just remember no matter where you go there's always a chance of running into a moving on and safe journeys.

By far the best small set up to accommodate a family of 4 and lack nothing that I have seen. VERY functional and that bathroom!!🤗 So well put! Kudos to you all!!

[daphnesawyer]

This van build did something for my soul. The fact that you guys braved this DIY with two teens, you can tell there is so much love and intention in this build. Good luck in all that you do!!

[forevaeva]

Love everything about this. As a black woman who is into this kind of stuff I always kind of worried/wondered about black van lifers and their safety. You guys are the first ones that went into detail about the above ground railroad! Look forward to more content.

[kellyps]

When i saw the title i just couldn't imagine a family of 4 in a VAN!? Your thoughtful use of space is inspiring. Beautiful setup, family and mission ❤️

[locket]

Ok - I’ve watched probably 500+ of these van tour videos and this has to be the best bed set up I’ve seen, especially for a family. The bathroom is brilliant too - love the way the space can still be used and it’s so spacious. Really didn’t look like it felt that you were passing the shower etc. Happy touring to you all ☺️

I love the above ground railroad resource. I've had exactly the same thoughts and concerns about traveling on a cross country road trip. It's so refreshing to see people representing black folks perspective of traveling through parts of this country even in 2022. The van is amazing 👏🏽 👏🏽

[FitzyS]

I’d never want to live like this but I find these videos so interesting! How so many are able to create a whole living space in vehicles amazes me.

[dawnsmith]

This is a fantastic build! Congratulations! It's wonderful that you found a comfortable and efficient way to travel in the van with your teens. I'm happy to know there are means for people of color to find safe places to travel, and I wish it were not necessary. As a white person, I only recently learned how difficult it is for POC to feel safe traveling. I knew there was racism in this country, but I never realized how bad it was, and is. I've only learned in recent years the gravity of the situation, of the white-washing of our history, and of systemic racism. It's very sad and I don't understand it. I wish your family safe, comfortable, and welcoming travels❤

[ohthehorror]

What a great layout. Yeah I was wondering how you sleep 4. Love the bunk bed. Amazing design. The bathroom is ingenious. Happy travels to you and your family, and may you always be safe.

[vanmuhammad]

That hidden bed reveal was DOPE! I had to hit the "Like" button for that alone. Great job.

[zzzzzzz]

The craftsmanship and design! This is so amazing can’t wait to hear the adventures had in this van

[roadtriplover.]

Your van design is really well done. For a family of 4 to travel these days, well, it’s just getting harder and harder. It is amazing that you’re doing this as a family. I’m white and have many friends who are black. None of them have ever mentioned to me that they feel unsafe or insecure in certain locations. I’m embarrassed that I’ve been so ignorant of those concerns and appreciate your vulnerability in sharing this concern. I hope you enjoy many, many enjoyable trips and that you create amazing memories. Congratulations!
