Check out the reclaimed cherry woodworking on The Silver Forest EcoVan!
In an extremely small footprint, we've managed to create convertible multi-use space to easily live and travel with two people. The swiveling Lagun table pivots from dining table, to extra counter space, to office desk with the twist of the hand.

The bed of 'The Silver Forest' EcoVan is custom engineered to to retract by 1/3 to provide 200% more counter space.
Simply pull the head of the mattress back by 1/3, unlatch the footboard, and slide the frame back and relatch. Now you have a lofted couch with BUG views out the back doors over the handmade walnut and cherry headboard!
When it's time for bed, simply unlatch and slide forward to relatch and the mattress will automatically fold flat again. And, because it's 100% fair trade organic latex, it will never wear out or crease.
Don't worry though, even with the bed fully extended, the sink is fully functional and the solid wood footboard keeps splashes away from the sheets. There's also your swiveling Lagun table up front so there's plenty of space for the earlier riser to make coffee while their partner sleeps. ☕️☕️
Along the sides of the bed are padded storage pockets specially sized to fit common electronics like laptop tops and phones for safe storage after movie night.
DM, or head to the link in the bio to purchase! Open to reasonable offers, worst we say is no thanks ;)

I always liked the look of the Bluebird Microbird, but I'm really starting to appreciate it more deeply and feel like it's actually a well designed and stylish vehicle.... not just for a Bus, but generally. 💛

ECOVAN.org is a resource for building a DIY Eco Camper Van
There are many, many aspects to consider when building a truly ecological camper van including materials, design, and construction. EcoVan.org is a resource for ideas and products to inspire and empower you to build your own ecological home-on-wheels.
The information on this website was initially collected through the process of building the world’s most eco-friendly adventure van: The Vitruvian Van. Through the process of crafting the Vitruvian Van, builder Christopher Ives poured over the internet, spoke with government scientists, did experiments in the garage, spoke with industry experts, and carefully pieced together a collection of resources for building an Eco Van. The resources and insight he collected are now available on EcoVan.org, free for you and the world.
And if you get stuck, we’re here to help you out!
ECOVAN.org is a Vanlife resource for ecological living on the road
Once your build is complete, EcoVan.org is here to support you in your efforts to live ecologically on the road, too. We have tips and ideas for reducing waste, clutter, and your impact on the land. We also dive into what ‘ecology’ actually means, why it should matter to everyone, and how to apply this perspective to different aspects of your life — especially for Vanlife and your adventures out in Nature!
New articles are coming out all the time, but you’ll find the Living Resources section of the site is a good place to start.
