Van Build: 3D Layout Reveal (with real stone!) | Ep. 1

Description

We're turning our new Fiat Ducato into a Mediterranean cottage on wheels, with a log burner, an incinerating toilet and a REAL STONE WALL! In a van?! Yes. Here's the full 3D layout reveal and every design decision behind it. After 3 years living in our low roof 2012 Ducato, we're starting a brand new Fiat Ducato van conversion in a much longer, taller van. We have 8 months to turn it into a home we actually want to be in 24/7. In Ep. 1 we take you through our campervan layout in 3D, starting in Vanspace3D and then building a complete, detailed model from scratch in Blender. We cover what we're building, why, and the bits we still can't agree on. 🛠️ Design our van in 3D with Van space 3D (our first ever affiliate link): https://lesgofree--vanspace3d.thrivecart.com/vanspace-3d-lifetime/ What's in the design: 🪨 Real stone veneer on the walls and ceiling, plus lightweight stone behind the log burner 🔥 Log burner and fully electric setup (no more gas) 🚽 Incinerating toilet and indoor shower in a separate bathroom that doubles as a mud room 💻 Two dedicated workspaces for remote work 🛏️ Raised bed with a garage underneath for bikes, paddleboards and electrics 🧱 Raised floor for storage, pipes, cabling and extra insulation 🍳 Kitchen with oven, pantry, raised fridge and pull-out worktop 🌿 Terracotta, olive, copper, cork and rattan to get the Mediterranean cottage feel 🖥️ A full 3D model of the van built from scratch in Blender, so we can check every measurement before we cut anything 0:00 Intro 0:45 Choosing a Van 1:30 Our Must-Have List 5:45 Basic Layout 7:52 Raised Floor 9:58 Designing in Van Space 3D 11:22 Mediterranean Cottage Materials 13:13 Detailed Modelling in Blender 19:45 Final Thoughts About us We're Danni & Angela, two van-dwelling lesbians working full-time in climate and environmental science.
