With a touch of a button the table moves down and levels with the rest of the seating area, meaning campers simply have to add an extra pillow and they have a large sleeping space.
Plus, there is both a washer and dryer neatly tucked away behind cabinets in the kitchen area.
"The galley features great storage underneath with a dual slide out refrigerator," added Philip.
There's a generously sized sink with flip out 20 inch countertop to create extra prepping space, and two in one propane fuelled stove for cooking.
In the living area, a tiny wood burning stove provides warmth and creates a cosy atmosphere, along with the dimmable lights overhead.
"We've also got a full wet bath which is brush aluminum walls with a stainless steel pan, composting toilet, and fully adjustable shower head," continued the camper expert.
Passengers can enjoy a comfortable night's sleep in the queen size bed, which comes with plenty of storage, two windows and skylight.
Fans were impressed with the custom build and hailed the project in the comments.
An excited viewer penned: "This is a pretty perfect build, checks all the boxes with internal bike and ski storage, wet bath, fireplace heating option, etc.
"Hopefully I’ll be ordering it one day."
"Finally a design with bicycle storage. A truly fantastic build, wood stove and just everything I would want," agreed another.
