2024 Van Mods and Upgrades with Drifter Vans and Nomadic Cooling ❄️
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
- 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!
Hi Sarah I am So Happy to see you and Rue and all the Upgrades you have done Wowzers it makes your van the Palace of all van's
Drifter Vans stepping up your game!!! WTG!
Very nice! Drifter Vans look like a quality builder.
Wow! All the updates look really great. Have fun Sarah!
Oh wow! I love the upgrades and love knowing that many of them will be installed on my upcoming build. I'm just bursting with excitement. It's coming on so fast now. ❤💙💚💛
Your van is going to be so amazing!!!
Love your home. So classy and high tech. They do great work.
Thank you so much, Beth! Drifter's work really is top notch.
I am impressed with how clean the shop is.
Awesome upgrades! So happy for you and Rue!
How wonderful to gain all that new space! Looks like a great, quality company. You are ready to go! We are in Michigan right now, and will be going to the UP too! - Michelle
Well done Sarah! Well done! 👏.
Ya Sarah, welcome to Michigan I’m sure you will love the UP have a great time.
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. !
Love the updates!😄❤️
It looks good and I think you will enjoy your van even more! I hope to do some upgrades to my Solis especially all that bulky plumbing under the sink!
Epic upgrades. I love that you partner with a company that you are actually using the products and are able to give true feedback to them as to whether the upgrade or product is a hit or miss.
I totally agree! It's a beautiful partnership.
I blurted out paddleboard way before you did, lol! So happy for you girl.
Thank you!! I used to have one and loved it. Time for a new one!
I have followed you for awhile, Sarah. I live in the U.P.. in the keweenaw peninsula; Calumet to be exact.
I love it! So exciting!!!
Awesome video
Love your vids Sarah
That was a good van upgrade on this video love everything
welcome back next time stop and say hi im in michigan also enjoy your much needed upgrades thanks for sharing
Everything's looking great!
Thank you!!
Nice upgrades!
Good video!
Great video. Enjoy the mitten
Well Done Drifers...Well Done. Hey Sarah, can you confirm it Drifter do upgrades on RVs...If so I will provied you with the link of the RV that I'm thinking about purchasing...Good Lord willing🙏🙏🙏 💅 As a rookie..Glamping is my interest Guys!
Safe travels to the UP! Make sure you hit Mackinah Island!
Are you trying to be funny? Mackinaw Island.
Love, love your new update, but there one ☝️ thing where the toilet ?
Fantastic video. Stop into the grayling area I have hook ups for you…. Be safe…
Wow flash as now
Enjoy ❤
Ok, now I’m leaning more Drifter Vans than Embassy or a cookie cutter Winnebago or another Roadtrek 😉
Huge difference!! You wouldn't regret it.
❤
Nice Shower update. Who many gallons per minute does it take to shower/ wash hair ?
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
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.
The 48w Nomadic Cooling was not available so I went with the X3 24 volt. Where did you get the rear shower hose?
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?
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
@@NomadicSarah thank you
Nice upgrades. Will you be updating your power kit?
Heck no, I love my power system!
LOL…Just meant adding an additional kit for more power for the AC. ❤
Is there a spacelot rent for camper van here in California?
How much did all upgrades cost? Or were they comp'd for being a rep?
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??
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.
@@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
what is wrong with 12 volt roofm top ca unit ??
The Indel B AC is super energy efficient and blows cold air, but it's not very powerful nor does it aim the air downward. They definitely let us down.
What about room for an electric bicycle and charging the battery?
The garages in the newer vans definitely have enough space for that!
Why didn't Drifter Vans put that air conditioner in the beginning?
The 48V AC's were just starting to roll out and Nomadic's wasn't available yet during my build.
