  • During my visit to Drifter Vans, I showed up with a small list of new items to be installed in my van, including a lift kit and new 48V AC by Nomadic Cooling. By the time I left, my van was decked out with upgrades and modifications beyond belief!
    Drifter has changed a lot of the items used in their builds within the last year. I am so proud to be a part of a team that is staying on top of this innovative and constantly changing industry. These vans are only going to keep getting better!
    I'm incredibly grateful for all of these new changes to my van that have completely changed my vanlife experience for the better! Thank you for watching and please let me know if you have any questions in the comments.

    This is the nicest van build I’ve seen on RUclips. Everything is well thought out and makes for a very livable van. It certainly looks to be a better quality build than you get from an RV company!

    A light coloured (preferably white) van will be much cooler to start with, this will make your a/c unit work less. We have a white VW T5 with a pop top, the pop top was black when we bought it I had it sprayed white to match the body this has resulted in a decrease in internal temperature on the few sunny days we seem to get here in the U.K. !

    How loud are these vans when using overnight? e.g. if camping w fam who are tent camping, is it loud & will disrupt their enjoyment of peace and quiet?
    Thank you

    • @NomadicSarah
      @NomadicSarah  Месяц назад

      The van itself does not run overnight. The AC makes minimal noise, but my Espar heater can be a little loud and give me away if I'm trying to stealth camp.

  • @MOTORVESSELFREEDOM
    @MOTORVESSELFREEDOM Месяц назад

    Why did drifter vans not install this a/c on original build? The lift gives the van a sexier look…..how long are they out on builds? Would you go with a Mercedes again or a ford/Ram?

    • @NomadicSarah
      @NomadicSarah  Месяц назад

      It totally looks sexier!! The 48V AC's were just starting to roll out and Nomadic's wasn't available yet during my build. Now Drifter uses Nomadic AC's on almost all builds unless the client requests something else. We are booked out for the rest of this year! I would get a Ford Transit Trail if I did it again. These also weren't available during my build... The Promasters are not AWD and Sprinters are just much more expensive. Drifter actually specializes in Transits! Hope this helps. Please email me if you have any other questions! sarah@driftervans.com

      I dropped a PRETTY penny on the AC and lift kit as well as installation. (Both completely worth it!) You can check out pricing here: www.nomadiccooling.com & vancompass.com

    Why was the choice made for the weak a/c unit? Did somebody sell you on it? Wasn't that only at the beginning of 2023??

    • @NomadicSarah
      @NomadicSarah  Месяц назад

      Indel B was one of the most energy efficient 12V AC's on the market at the time. It blows cold air but is not very powerful nor does it aim downward. The 48V AC's were just starting to roll out and Nomadic's wasn't available yet during my build.

    • @TeutonicNordwind
      @TeutonicNordwind Месяц назад

      @@NomadicSarah Your van is a great layout/build! Nomadic's X2 was out back then but not in 48v I don't think. Am about to pull the trigger on an X2 24v for our Premaster build. The X3 jumps a thousand in price and consumes more power (although I'm sure kicks butt on cooling!) . We'll have four 200ah batts set up in 24v but aren't going to be full time so not going for gusto
