A Vansmith customer shared these photos from a trip they took around Washington. We love getting photos like this, it's the best way to see how these builds actually get used out on the road.

This build went with the dry flush setup, picked specifically so nobody has to deal with a dump station mid-trip. We still build cassette and composting toilets too, depending on how someone plans to use the van. Save this if a dry flush toilet is on your must-have list.

Two full-size bunks here, with storage cabinets built into the wall on both sides, so nobody's stepping over gear bags just to get to bed. It's a real option for two people traveling together without giving up storage to make it work. Bunks for two, or one big bed, which layout wins for you?

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?
