Nice RAM AEV Bliss Mobil, Bliss Mobil is 2 kilometers from my home! Great company with customers from all over the world.
Will this trailer be available as a stand alone unit or only with the Storyteller?
will this be available through dealers or only paired with this van?
I am building à vanlife starting from a mini bus. I am looking for That gratiné systém heahting floor Do you have a diagramme ? Do you have a hot Thank présure for your glycol ? Do you have thé compagnie name and adress ? I am from Québec Canada Thank you in d’avance for your answer !
Hey! I doubt they’d be interested in giving out proprietary info BUT they are called Van Life Tech.
So annoying!! I think the MB is too much for you. I love mine!
Too much? Haha sure thing bud.
I need this for my Costco runs
Lmao can you imagine the silliness?
Really nice looking wheels…😎👍🏻
Those guys did great work. Which Mainline Overland location completed the installation of your winch?
West Chester PA
Well bigfoot, its not made for everyone. Keep looking
I’m really not that tall haha
YOUR PETTY!! PATHETIC!!
I know Rixen’s Enterprises taps into the engine coolant to heat their glycol loops and use the diesel furnace less often, are there other setups that do the same? Does this one ?
I encourage you to actually watch this video haha. It does not use anything from the engine.
@@thebatlwgn haha sorry! (thanks for the fast response!) I did watch it, loved it, and worded my comment poorly. Was mostly wondering if that was a consideration when you were finding the best system for you?
@@stephensanders1876 AH gotcha. I think its a horrible idea to pull engine coolant for something like this. You open yourself up to risk with engine issues by modifying that system. On top of that, it requires that you run the engine for substantial amounts of time to put enough heat into the system for it to be functional, THEN on top of that you are putting unnecessary wear on the engine components by running it for that purpose. The biggest issue for me was messing with the engine. These things are NOT known for being ultra reliable so doing that makes so little sense to me. Especially when you can run a small heater that sips a small amount of fuel and is an enclosed system to itself. You're not losing BOTH if there is an issue.
@@thebatlwgn Thanks for the considerations! I thought it was a good idea as it charges the glycol loop as you drive and can then be supplemented with the diesel furnace but you're right... a lot of hassle, expense and risk. Busting a coolant line because it's under the vehicle would kill the entire vehicle. Thanks again! Next van, I'll probably follow your advice!
Unless you want to see how much storage is in the empty box.
I wish the narrator would let him show the vehicle instead of interrupting him. Adding his own comments. Back and forth.
Just tried to keep it moving along man. Sorry.
Looks great, I hope you have more content coming soon to show the additional upgrades
More updates are coming soon!
Not enough knowledge……Missing so much information….
HI I looks like this will be top notch when done :-), When the weather is warmer and the heater is off if you want hot water does this still heat the floor?
Be interesting to compare this to an electric system in terms of total costs , install , space used etc .This system has a lot of vital equipment under the van that could be damaged by rocks dirt road salt snow etc did u inclose it?
This is known as lack of UAT. User acceptance testing. This is basic project management.
Nice bitching bud. I agree 100 per cent.
What is the height of the two layers?
1.5 inches
265k down, 15 year fixed loan. Will have ours Spring of 2025!
Heck yea congrats!
I am building an outpost 32
no link to the heater?
“Show us the good the bad and all the stuff” 😂 yea they are going to show you the bad! Seriously let them talk
Does the beast still have the 2 inch lift ?
First world problems honestly is not that big of a deal
Anything with a sprinter van is a first world problem 😂
No Go On XO.
I bought a used 2017 25’ RV mounted to a Sprinter 3500 170” chassis. Total GVRW is just under 6 tons. I get approximately 14 mpg pulling a Chevy Trax on a tow dolly. If I don’t tow and stay under 65 mph I can get upwards of 16 mpg. The engine is strong for its size and maintenance is not that difficult - better to DIY or find a former MB mechanic that specializes in Sprinters. Oil change about $120 (12.5 qts + filter). I do add Archoil 6400 at each fill up. The DEF fill being under the hood is okay. I had to add a 2.5 gallon box after about 400+ mil
This poor vehicle builder...why must you constantly interrupt him when he's trying to talk?
We have a 2024 Beast XO and we LOOOOOVE it. Just took it on its 3rd trip since we got it in September. So intelligently engineered. I like the idea of the strip lighting in the back, as an upgrade. We're using a Cabbunk in the front for extra sleeping space. So manueverable, so capable for handling bumpy forest service roads. And we were in temps in the 'teens last week in the mountains, and it was warm and cozy the whole time. Overall, we're SO GLAD that Westfalia's manufacturing delays led us to dropping our order, because we have a far more capable, durable, and well-designed rig than we would have had. Bravo, Storyteller!
Imagine building something for 40,000 and selling it for 350,000. There truly is a sucker born every minute. Nice unit but seriously?
I had the 4 x4 144 WB with no bulkhead. You talk about not being able to get up in the van, well with the factory 4 inch lift it was almost impossible. I returned the van the very next day and opted for the rear wheel drive with the bulkhead. What a difference! With the bulkhead you don’t hear all that noise from the cargo area and you can heat and cool it much faster and i saved 20k in the process. I agree about the placing of the handle, it is stupid , half the time i grab the steering wheel and the upper handle. Thanks for the video !
Captain Morgans mustache matching Storytellers vehicle game. Like a pair of lip binoculars my good sir.
I think I see what you mean! Ha!
Too much. Ditch the rooftop. Make the rear a garage, 3.5ft deep under the bed and sleep sideways. Copy the revel layout forward of the bed. Push half of the kitchen into the van step and include outdoor cook space (cooking indoors sucks). Make it affordably. Nobody is doing this. Nobody has the right layout for those who use these vans for outdoor activities who need a full garage.
I’ll try to pass that onto them!
Oh NOOOO, a Cumzin motor , that 24 valve was 130 hp a GUTLESS WONDER FROM THE FACTORY !!!!!!!!!!! A very weak 53 Block which cracked much later then the extendedly extended warrantiee. I COULD NEVER HAVE ANOTHER ONE OF THEM THINGSssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!
The Germans must have have KINDERGARTENS Engineer some of the things On these vans They should have left the Engineering to the Japanese
I have a 2019 and there is a pad on the right side of steering wheel, like the left side for the dash control, swipe to change songs... all day!
You sound like my wife.
With a 3500XD chassis, they could put in a black tank like my Boldt has
Looks good. Progress is always good. Can't wait til that first camp out with you and whatever crew you put together.
Me too! Should be fun.
It's looking good Jon.
I saved $345,000, I have a portable stove, a tent, sleeping bag, blankets,food,water and fire making materials, and my 2001 Camry....oh, and my leatherman
You’re more prepared than most!
I also have a boring everyday driver. I bought it to save miles on my super duty diesel truck. It is a 2016 Subaru Legacy in a fairly low trim package. It may be boring but it starts every time and gets 30 mpg on my commute.
Sounds like a smart move to save some money!
Ugh, an Avalon? You have 🔫 that cost more and rattle less.
Haha this thing is actually pretty great
This is really the hot set up but it costs somewhere around $5000-$7000...wayyyyyy out of my budget
Interviewer, wow annoying.
Sorry man! Trying to keep the video moving along got the better of me this time.
Would be nice to hear your process, while in holding… Something you said, “not to bore you with” would actually be VERY helpful to many people… the build process. What did you have to do or consider first, then have to consider next… hope that makes sense and thank you for sharing your honest experience… It is baffling how “van tax” doesn’t come with price equivalent support.
I’ve tried to document most of that in other videos. Is there something specific you want to hear about?
I thought about your van tonight on the way back to Lancaster from down past Oxford as I was trying to listen to some music that really shines in a quiet environment, but at the end of the day, mine is a work truck and most guys think the espresso machine in it is already overkill... I'd love to see yours (and hear it) when it's all done. Maybe one of these days our Sprinters will meet up :)
Thank you for giving me ideas on what to do and equipment to use
You're welcome! Hope it comes in handy.
Once it is finished, what is your first planned trip?
That all depends on when it gets done. I have some BIG trips on the to-do list. I think the first one might just be a small thing to get used to it and try living in the van for the first time with an interior.
Please do that by a river. Lol.@@thebatlwgn
