Okay, we're going to give you a little tour of our latest project. It's called the Olivia Project
and it's for a client who lives in Idaho. We're delivering it tomorrow so this is our farewell
video and a tour of everything we put into it. So this is the foyer or the entryway of the van.
We've got our partition door here which locks a couple different ways. It also has storage
which is holding my phone right now. It goes like this. You can lock it from both sides
which is super nice and then you can hinge it back up here. Handlebar for getting in.
Over here we have a table that is super durable. I think it can hold like 200 pounds so it'd be
great for working if you're working on the road or if you want to entertain, make some drinks for
some friends, cook. It can hold your toaster oven and hook into the power which is right up here.
So we'll just turn this back down and then we've also got our electrical here. Every light in here
is dimmable. We've got our wet room over here with our Trilino composting toilet. It's super
lightweight and easy to take in and out. We've just got a bungee around it so that it's secure
when we're driving. We did a riverstone floor which is so pretty. We wanted this to feel like
a spa and not like a typical bathroom that you find in vans. Everything is super waterproofed
up to the standard that you would waterproof a shower in your home. We did treated cedar
paneling along the entire shower. This is specifically a wet room so we've got a drain
in here and then a hook right here for your solar powered shower bag so there's not actually any
plumbing in here. You could do plumbing in here but the lady who is getting it only wants to use
shower you know every once in a while so she didn't want to worry about having a super heavy tank.
So it's a great alternative and then we have our Nautilus self-cleaning shower which closes.
It's awesome, offers some privacy when you're using the bathroom.
Close it, super intuitive to install and actually looks really nice. So then after the wet room
you'll move into the kitchen. This is the kitchen. We've got a nice butcher block,
a solid granite matte black sink with a really cool faucet that I actually want to install in my
kitchen at home, a gooseneck faucet, paper towel holder and then we've got upper storage. We've got
hydraulics in here to keep these open when you're getting stuff out which is really nice and we did
a rattan detail to just kind of bring home that organic look. Our water system and foot pump down
here. Then we've got all of our drawers for storage. All three of these open and have storage.
We have more storage in this unit over here which houses, it's kind of like our appliance
storage area. So we've got our Dometic fridge which is awesome. One of the requests was that
we had a fridge that was at eye level so it was super easy to organize and get things in and out
and then we've got our Jackery battery system up here. Super awesome. It's a 2000 pro. We'll make
another video about how we do our electrical. It's a bit of a hybrid between making your own and then
using an all-in-one generator. So we'll do a little tutorial on that at some point but it
powers everything in the van and it can handle things like a toaster oven and induction burner
etc which you can easily plug in either here or directly into the Jackery and use this table.
Back here we've got some extra storage. She wanted some baskets to store her clothes in which is
really nice and then over here we've got our lounge which is pretty cool. It can seat a ton
of people. Probably three adults on both sides comfortably and then we did this table which
actually has a leaf right here so that we can add some more space if people need more room to get in
out but really nice place to kind of sit, hang out, play cards, look at the view wherever you're
camped out at and then this lounge actually turns into a bed as well. I'm just gonna put this leaf
back up and then down here we just screw this down but the cameraman's gonna have to get out of the
way. And the size of the bed is about the width of a pole. It's a little shorter though. This is
really nice then you can just get on here like this. Lounge, watch the sunset with your friends
and what's even cooler and the best thing about this is that we also installed a bed lift. So this
is a castle wench bed lift and it works like this. You've got a nice place that you can keep
made all the time to rest your head at night and you're good to go. Thanks so much for watching
