Vanlife, like “normal” life, has changed since the pandemic, and Nate & Izzy built their unique campervan with COVID restrictions in mind. They made space for a shower and portable toilet just in case gyms close down again, and they went with a cool murphy bed set-up I haven’t yet seen in a van.
When the murphy bed is up, they have a bench space with a fold-down table for eating meals and working, and when it’s down they have a cozy spot to snuggly up and watch TV. They DIY-ed their countertops with a bunch of 1×2 lumber, and used a salad bowl from Amazon for their stylish sink.
And just to inspire you, Izzy and Nate had never built so much as a birdhouse before taking on this challenge! Check out a full tour of how they made it all work at the end of the post. Brought to us by Tiny Home Tours.

For two novice builders they have made themselves a wonderful home. I love the way everything is so well thought out for instance the electric being able to be accessed without having to tear into anything and the bathroom just in case.
I would definitely gamble on them doing very well in the future.
I can’t believe they did so well as novices. They’re naturals.
For no experience, you did a great job! It’s lovely, and the shower is so clever. The Murphy bed is a great idea, too. Happy trails!
