I must’ve watched hundreds of van builds. This gentleman has it down pat! Thought of everything. He is obviously very well educated in this industry. And I love how he incorporates the yachting world into his van bills. They complement each other very well

I think a slip over, cover that hides the whole thing would be best. Then you don’t see it’s a toilet at all. It’s a covered box seat with a cushion on top.

Actually Paul at the age of 55 he lost his job as a high end photographer. He had to reinvent himself. The process is a joy to watch. He bought a used van, hit the road, and did brochures and photographic art for wineries. Cool. George likes to cook. His first mods are primitive but he is making the van his. Go find his first videos. He put in a deep, bigger. Stainless Steel sink. Watching his mind work is fab. BUT IT'S THE WOODEN SCREEN DOOR SYSTEM THAT WILL BLOW YOU OUT OF THE WATER!! Then while at a national RV boat show the big boys are putting George's sink in their RVs. George is a genius. If everyone approached unemployment like George did think what this country could accomplish.

@Jose Martinez Yeah......and then you lose your drawer space.......

@Jose Martinez And remember, this is what the owner, Sam, wanted. He's the one who's going to live in this build and it's what he wants and he's paying for it. So, when you all get your van built then you can have it your way.

Yo Holmes. I agree with you. instead I would of cover it with a box that could slide right into the armoire and that will give it a touch of protection and elegance.

I've only been watching George for 15 minutes and WOW, what a builder! and the logic that goes into each and every part of the build is amazing! And George is an excellent speaker/teacher! George (and his crew) were born to build RVs!

Thank you very much

It's such a joy watching any of George's builds!! His video production, and of course his personality, make his videos all enjoyable to watch! Such a good guy with utmost integrity and transparency in what he does! I've been following him for years now, and without a doubt, his attention to detailed quality in his designs are second to none! There is well thought out beauty and function in every nook and cranny of the living space as well as additional beauty and function of the mechanical components behind the walls and cabinetry. It would be an honor for George, his son Alex and the rest of the Humble Road crew to create a van for any lucky client! Thank you Patrick for this detailed video letting Mr.Mauro take us through this recent Promaster build!

Thank you very much Perry

I appreciate that he does his builds with maintenance and servicing in mind. I have watched so many videos and I have not heard anyone say that. Getting to those pipes and wires without having to deconstruct anything is AWESOME!

Most tradesman thinks about the next guy who has to work on it life's Easyer this way

YES YES YES

I appreciate that!

I do love how accessible everything is to repair and if I ever do this, I want this guy to build it

It is the best way to build for the future

This is one of the best thought out van builds I have seen. You can tell this man takes pride in what he builds for his clients and how he builds them.

The shower and toilet design are genius! All that space is available for other activities when not taking a shower. The toilet is a foot stool or seat most of the time. The shower curtain stored behind the armoire and the drain pan extending below it solve so many problems. Love the whole approach to the windows, inside and out. Designing the build so that all systems can be accessed for repairs or changes is such a good thing.

Thank you very much

A very practical man. Common sense runs through his veins. Edit: The cardboard stage is a brilliant idea.

Great tour of the van! This is the first time so far I've heard anyone creating a cardboard mock-up of the actual van built to the client's specs. It's a simple and incredibly important step of the entire process. Yes, it is time consuming work, but very effective. Thank you for sharing!

Pretty good idea

This guy is a van GENIOUS! Seriously soo many great and new ideas that I haven't seen yet (and I watched A LOT of van videos). My favorite are the hidden shover, the bed for movie nights and hidden window coverings that aren't taking any extra space. I also appreaciate how he custom this van to fit his client's needs, it feels so indyvidual.

I am wondering if the window coverings develop stains from sitting in a trough near windows that may develop condensation. What doe the owner say?

@New Jersey Outdoor Adventures could you fix the toilet with a hinge, that could swing out from the shower, without needing to lift? Great Build by the way

Thank you 🙏🏼

"Thanks" Patrick .... There are NO "Higher Quality" Pro Van builds than HUMBLE ROAD !!!! George and his crew go way BEYOND in every detail, to custom build, for each individual client's needs, desires ....... Truly "TOP SHELF"

Thank you very much Rick

He is freaking brilliant!! I am following him now! The thoughtfulness of everything he puts in the vans for the future problems is just amazing. You can tell he actually listens to everything the clients say, and don't say. He's now my absolute favorite van builder now!

Thank you Michelle

Gorgeous, well thought out build. I'd only ask for a few more things, a slide out table from the rear, and the ability to set-up a hammock. Maybe an outdoor shower curtain and a more disguised toilet in the seating area and perhaps a swingout mirror rather than the need to remove it to access the shower faucet. Other than that, an absolute triumph!!!!

Thank you. great suggestions

He really thinks through everything when building these. He has access to anything that he might need to fix or upgrade. I don't want to say simple for the things he does, because that doesn't sound right, but it's so well thought out with all the materials that it seems "simple" and yet very aestheticly pleasing. It's a work of art. And knowing his background you can tell he takes that eye for video and photography and uses it in his builds. I know nothing is perfect, but this is about as close as you can come.

Thank you very much for all the kind words

Absolutely beautiful! Probably the best build I saw so far. The 1st great wow was the "hidden" shower and removable lightweight toilet. Everything after that is also a total wow!

@Norbert Kappenyy it's a compost toilet. It's never full to the rim with brim. He explained how it works. Go back and watch the video.

@Norbert Kappenyy I was thinking that also. Needs to be able to slide or roll out the way.

@New Jersey Outdoor Adventures . What about moving the toilet,when it is...full to the rim,with brim

Ikr. Fareal. It's phenomenal.

Wow, thank you!

Congratulations, what a beautiful build! The woodwork and details are very special. Your thoughts regarding opening the space of the bath is ingenious. Villeroy and Boch has a wooden bench with a hidden toilet within, something that could be a great solution for the toilet so it is not seen. The adjustable bed, wow! And the attention to lighting is so important. This is a dream van.

Would love to see George's take on a weekend camper built out with simplified water and electrics infrastructure . Cargo on week days with water and electrics tucked away safely and roll out and install the modules for the weekend with plug and play for his clever 80\20 sturdy modules. His fastidious head and eye for detail would do it with real style.

I cannot wait to feature his next build

I watched many van travel videos so far, each time I was impressed by the comfort and beauty of each of them. However, without a doubt, this van built is the best and most thoughtful I've seen. It really puts in the thoughts, necessities and client's needs into one tiny van. To me, that is an impressive achievement and mastery of the builder themselves. I very much would have felt more safer and reliable on the road if I live in this guy's van. I wish to see more videos in the future too :)

We agree!

This is an absolutely amazing build. It has so many things, yet still compact.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Love love love the aluminum modules. And I love that George doesn't scrimp on fixtures and finishes (Isotherm and Corian). I want one...

I want him to make my van someday because he seems to think of everything needed to be comfortable in van life.

Me too!!!

I would love for him to build my van out someday too, because he thinks of everything and knows what he is doing. That van build is awesome and I love it!

I would too if I were able. I'm just going to live vicariously through him and you all.

Go for it Lillian

George has outdone himself again. My favorite van of all his builds so far. The interior looks great and technical he still found ways to improve the systems. The Elon Musk of van conversions.

@New Jersey Outdoor Adventures wow! Your build pushes my buttons. The practicality and aesthetics…a great blend!

@New Jersey Outdoor Adventures will this van for sale? How much ?

@New Jersey Outdoor Adventures beautiful van , what is the refrigerator’s brand name?

Amazing, superb. I'm in England and very envious. Talent and integrity my friends shines out.

Thank you very much

Even after completing our own build we still love to see what he pulls out of his sleeve. It’s so cool how he hides things. We love how well thought out everything always is.

Outstanding job and possibly the best walkthrough I have ever seen! He is also duly proud of his son's cabinet work. The walnut is beautiful. Thanks for putting this out for others to see.

I agree, the bathroom is just unbelievable… love it

Thank you very much Patrick

Can't wait to see what George does with the mini cargo van builds. Didn't know he was planning on that.

I know, me too

Don't believe I've ever seen such a well thought out van plan. Awesome work.

Wow, thanks!

This is amazing! So much attention to detail and thoughtfullness! 18:20 Corian countertop 20:24 A20 skeleton in full view - Advantages of A20 - lighter than plywood box, easier access for maintenance 27:14 Formica 28:45 Marine vinyl padded panels 41:34 PVC sheet

Thank you for the bookmarks

Amazing build! This man is a genius...a true visionary engineer. I really enjoyed my engineering lesson. His recommendations are top notch. 👌

I would like a price on this very van build. I love every bit on it.

Does that include the van?

125k

I appreciate the modular design not only giving you access to the behind the scene working but the possibility to redesign portions without stripping down the entire van. Definitely a over thinker but it all makes sense. Nice work!

Such a stunning build! Very well done, and I LOVE the grain-matched walnut.

I am so glad that he started on the inside. Many van videos go around the outside with incredible detail before showing the inside. There was so much inside this build that was creative, ingenious, and so well crafted! I don't want to see what's on the outside if I don't like what the inside layout is. Usually I won't finish the video because I don't really like what's inside. I watched this entire video!

Glad you enjoyed it

This is Simply amazing!! 2 questions: are these 4 season for life in New England or winter Canada? And how much does one of these conversion cost?

So great to see George! He's my dream builder. This long tour of what can be done in a Promaster in his hands makes me relieved that I don't have to have a Transit. Bravo.

Wow it’s beautiful. It would be great to have a new van that you can fix. But I have a 1999 dodge van ram 3500. I have found it hard to get someone to work on it. Wish someone like you would work on it you have great ideas.

Lovely van but having been a banner for many years, couldn't put up with that bathroom!

Glad you liked it Martha

What a beautifully and thoughtfully crafted van—one of my favorites you’ve covered. I love the insulated covers for the roof fans! Are they commercially available or custom made?

Every time I watch a Humble Road video I shake my head "no" (which is a giant YES), because I just can't believe what a master craftsman he is! Every detail is the top of the line. If I had the time and the $$$ to get a glampervan, HR would be my absolute first choice.

Thank you for the support

I just love how much thought goes into his builds and the craftsmanship is amazing and gets better every time. ❤

Another thing about having handles flush with cupboards, they won’t catch on your dogs collar and with danger of choking

This man is one of the best van builders on earth! If you want a good van build, he is the man!

I love this man! He is an artist / craftsman. I enjoyed listening to him describe his van build and the wisdom he applied to his build.

Thank you very much Tamara

Brilliant! Love your design sense. Obviously comes from a lot of experience. The cardboard mock-up/custom fitting stage in the creation of the design, is going to get you a lot of customers!

George is the best I've ever seen at explaining nuanced design elements informed from lived and used experience. I've seen fancier builds, but none where every little detail has a purpose. Brilliant.

Wow, thanks!

Man this guy is a boss ,the quality and the forethought that went in to the construction and design is incredible I love it, would love to get a quote about a build he's probably booked already

You get what you pay for. I like the detailed reasons for his designs.

The kind of work George does, he’s probably booked for the rest of your life and his life. Maybe next lifetime…

I am happy you liked it

This is an amazing production. I enjoyed the extensive technical considerations and the importance of safety that he highlighted. I am new to the concept of vanlife but it is very attractive to me as I consider next stages of 'full' retirement. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it Shirley

OMG, Patrick. I’ve been watching van life videos for two years and I think I may have finally found my build! Thank you so much.

I am glad this was helpful

I really appreciated the length of this Video to highlight all the wonderful things about this Build. These Men really are master craftsmen! Thanks Patrick and I hope Your well

I love longer format videos with excellent guests

I am so hiring this guy when it's time to do my build. Is there anything he doesn't think of to meet his clients' needs??? If you want the best, hire the best.

Wow the best van ever ! What a built ! This guy is so meticulous! Every thing in that built is thought to the smallest details!

Thank you very much

This is one of the most beautifully crafted vans that I’ve seen. Amazing craftsmanship shows at every angle. ⭐️👏

I love the way George talks about his builds like a proud parent. He keeps safety & conservation in mind in even the most minor details. Awesome quality build.

Thank you 😊

I love how thoughtful you are, it's honestly such a pleasure to watch. This was the first time I had ever seen George / Humble Road. I'll be on the lookout for this type of content in the future.

Thank you very much William

George does amazing work, and it really is so well thought out and put together.

Thank you very much Dan

Mister George ! I really enjoy your presentation; we fell your passion and it's a very good feeling sir ! Your build is wonderfull, but your attention for your client is awesome. The "prototype" that you make before the real construction is a wonderfull idea ! Details are well think, Gold medal well deserve !

80/20, what a brilliant idea. And ease of access to everything even after the build!! Great job.

Thank you very much!

Wow! Great design ideas that can be utilized by others. Saw a shower similar to this in a tiny house. Good use of space that is otherwise unused except for few minute shower. One question ...aren't the fans really loud? Would find them difficult to use at night. Thanks for the explanations re: your choices.

Thank you very much

I love this van, especially the shower idea and thanks for all the extra explanations. So many good points. One question: aren't carbon monoxide detectors supposed to be installed near the floor?

As per instructions, they can be installed low or high.

I watch a lot of these videos and finally, you have come up with a good solution to getting a decent shower in such a small space. Too bad the toilet is minimal but something has to give with limited space. So many people have bad designs but overall, yours are great.

Glad it was helpful

Been waiting months for this tour ... wonderful attention to detail as we have come to expect from Humble Road. Sam is a very lucky customer. The bed and shower configurations are both awesome. Thank you for the clip NJOA 😎

Glad you enjoyed it!

The shower set up on this is very innovative. I’d have put the mirror cover on a 180* hinge though so that it swings into the walkway out of the way. I do wonder if having the drains up under the wardrobe won’t be an issue. It could be hard to keep them clear of debris such as hair due to access.

Thank you for the input

I wish I had seen this three years ago. I contemplated a van to live full time, but because of my age I bought an old tiny mobile home and have sunk money in it ever sense. I really like your design , only a couple things I would change but it would be just for my things I'm interested in. You have done a wonderful job and thought if things others have not. I'm going to keep your site in case I change my mind and want to take off to do what I want to do. Thankyou and God bless. Carlene

Thank you for checking out the tour

I have watched hundreds of van conversions and this was the absolute best van I've seen. The bed and shower areas incredible use of space love it.

Thank you very much William

Great job! Now, although I really like this build, my favorite builds are the ones that don’t cost 50k+. Van life started for people who had little money and want the freedom of living like the rich without being rich, traveling and enjoying their new found freedom. For me, these builds are overkill and becoming more commercialized. Great for business, not so great for why this movement started. With that being said, there are customers for this type of van and I think you’ve done a fantastic job.

I like that post, back down to earth,a good used van and hit the road jack,don't ya come back no more no more,yea!hit the the road jack🚲🐕🎼🕺😊❤🙏🌞

Thank you very much for your insight

I've seen a lot of van builds but this is the best one yet!! Keep up the great work George, just beautiful!!!

Thank you for the support

this was such a joy to watch, I had it on 2x speed for the first 10 min but listening to this guy's thoughtfulness and sincerity, it's so nice seeing someone who loves what they do that I just HAD to watch it on normal speed

This is a beautiful van, love his attention to details to accommodate his clients. That is my kind of bathroom and shower, not enclosed in a tiny space.

Thank you very much

I watch a lot of van videos and this van is one of the coolest, most practical, and beautiful builds I’ve seen. I love how this builder thinks into future potentials and has accommodated them like with the way piping and electronics can be accessed for any possible repairs over time. The big surprise (in a good way!) was the drawer microwave. That is an amazing innovation.

Glad you enjoyed it

The detail is excellent, my only suggestion would be to have a panel that is wrapped that can slide behind the window opening in a pocket to block the light or for privacy rather than the loose fabric. It could have a small finger pull to slide it with maybe some more wallnut

Thank you for the suggestion

Wow 💕 definitely 1 of the best builds I've seen and that woodwork incredible!! Thanks for sharing ❤️☮️

Thanks so much 😊

Hey George, I don't know if I could ever afford any of your buildouts but they are the BEST! I'm not a fan of the window treatments, the screen door or the exposed toilet but with your ingenuity all things are possible! Thanks Humble Road for such a great class B RV! Wow! I win the lotter, I'll look you up first :)

So many thoughtful details. One simple addition is the "gradient" light dials. Such a simple addition that I'm always surprised to see absent in other builds.

Dude your son has major talent!!! What a beautiful build

@mark pope you are kidding, right?

Yes, agreed

Very creative and practical design. Beautiful craftsmanship. Great attentention to detail. Love that the appliances are electric. Love the bed, refrigerator and microwave choices. Love the efficient shower design but not totally sold on the toilet from an aesthetic viewpoint.

I've watched so many conversion van videos. This guy has thought of everything with such precision. This is the best video I've ever seen. He really knows what he's doing with all the yachting materials incorporated and that free hot water system. So intelligent!

Thank you very much Roseann

Love love the bathroom. George has broken new ground with the movable toilet. Wow!! Amazing vanbuild!

I love this van !!! You provided GREAT detail and all the safety features are a much have!! Thank you.

This thing is amazing! So clever so thoughtful and efficient. Engineered. Impressive.

Thank you for the support

This build is a totally another level - closer to perfection, all potential problem areas thought out and provided for.

Thank you very much

As a former DIY boatbuilder I really appreciate the detailed construction on this van. Excellent job!

Thank you very much!

This is an amazing informative video ! I am just in the process of getting my first big van after a Eurovan - thanks for all of the helpful explanations !

Glad it was helpful

Incredible. The shower is great! I also like how you think through the problems that could occur. Do the windows go up behind the cabinets? Also, curious what steps you take to avoid mold?

Love the shower, and also the hot water heated from the engine.

This is most professional vanwork i have ever seen. The attention to details, the hought. Just wow

Thank you 🙏🏼
