Meet this awesome couple who took inspiration from marine set-ups to create a functional Sprinter van home. Unlike many vans we’ve seen, they put the kitchen along the cab of the van, creating a solid divider between the driving and living space.
That design choice gave them room to include a full banquette, a breezeway and a permanent bed setup. They chose a simple garage without much shelving so they could maximize all their space, and they have a huge battery bank for their solar power.

I am a fan, too, of a permanent sleeping place as opposed to having to move a lot of things around to sleep every night. Nicely done with lots of storage and a great place to hang out.
Thought I would add one more thing. I love the way the kitchen is set up with open doors on each end, and plenty of space to move around. I also like (ok, 2 things) the dedicated seating area with a table. It’a a really nice build!
But, the downside is that you are crouching inside the van which is not good for one’s back. That is a big, big drawback for a large number of (potential) vanners.
