Jarrod! I been watching you for a long time , you went away for awhile , so happy to see you back . I'm kinda going to see if you can help me or some guidance to the right direction . Btw , I'm 65 senior citizen retired , I might become a homeless here cause I'm selling my very cheap condo , because it's not safe for me to live here anymore , no choice I really need to move . The condo is only $30K and it's in the process of getting sell I hope . $30K is all the money I have in my life , so I can't screw up on the decision I'm going to make . I'm already decided that I want to live in the camper van full time . I'm trying to find one that I can buy with the money I got , which means I'm looking for a used one . So many crooks out there and I'm old it's all the money I have , I don't want to get coned of buying a bad one and won't even last for few months and have so many issues . Please help me find a fordable one that I can live in for a long time . I know popular people like you knows a lot of people that may be you can trust for me not to get riffed off . That would really ruin my life and become a homeless . I do have a fixed income social security low income . And cannot afford a house with what I have or apartment rent . Can you help me and guide me to get a good deal . Shower is not very important for me but I gotta have a nice sized sink we're I can clean myself there . But I want my tiny living area to feel cozy and feels home . Hope I'm not bothering you too much , for some reason I feel that you might be able to help me . Hoping to hear from you .
I wish you read this brother , I'm not asking for money , I just don't want to make a terrible decision . It's always been my dream to have a camper van conversion , so I'm going for a used one and hoping you can help me a good one for that price .
On our van trips we always have way more clothes than we actually wear. We were in Europe for 5 months with hand luggage only. Ok it was a glorious summer. Ian had 2 shorts, 4 tshirts and a light sweatshirt, 3 sets of undies and socks. I had 4 dresses, 1 pair of leggings, light jumper, 3 sets of undies. Walking boots and sandals. We could fly, go by bus or train quite cheaply. We returned and immediately downsized what we carry in our van.
while i personally will never be able to afford a luxury build like this, i love watching all of these tours to find little tips and ideas for when i do a DIY years in the future and man, a laundry chute is a fantastic idea! beautiful van everywhere, too, of course :)
Most expensive van I’ve personally stepped into was 350k and I’m sure there are some out there that are more. I can say this one is expensive but it’s not that high. Might be worth that much but they got a great deal too
@@JarrodTocci sounds about right. I just viewed a few that where close to $300k and thought they were way overpriced. This is a beautiful build. Especially love the outside upgrades and 4x4 on a 170 body.
They are quality upgrades. If under $300k, then a steal, imo. It sounds like he maxed out in some key categories which to me should add more $$$ to the build, like heated flooring, off grid capacity like suspension, 4x4, has 50 gal. tank, a black tank--wahat?! Inverter. Is 3000 a lot? So yeah, a steal, imo. Not a fan of the decor for my own taste. Sorry, but reminds me of my 80's van conversion childhood😂😂!! But i can appreciate the hours of craftsmanship that went into it.
Hey, a friendly tip: why not consider wall niches in the back of the van - one on passengers side and the other on the drivers side, you can take wall mounted Murphy bunk beds - put each set on two different slide outs, The first to extract the flipable wall mounted bunks out of the niches, once they are out, the second slide out can send both out of the door, a pull down projector screen can hang from the ceilings edge, a porch or a floor platform can eject outwards - esp if you are willing to consider refashioning the doors differently, let’s say in a box package form - so four doors, with this concept in mind, please look up both “Murphy doors” and “Murphy desks” If this concept interests you, you could look into “four sided kitchen cabinetry, create wall niches inside/outside of doors, put four sided kitchen cabinetry on a slide out to extract it from door frame when you would like to use it, but also place a “lazy Susan type mechanic underneath so it can spin - if you are willing do do the same for the door exterior, - may make a cool concept for outdoor kitchen - then you get to free up more room from inside the van, From there I would consider adding at least two slide outs, one on each side of the van that runs the duration. I’d then look into the following rvs Volkner rv with solar panels in between glass to create fencing for sky deck I’d look into Draper Landark for a pull down balcony from exterior I’d look at game changer toy hauler rv to see how you can store and slide furniture to the wall, and to take this concept a step further, you can add storage within the edges of the floor, then you can look into floor pits. Lehel by Alexander’s - in one video at least you can see a removable podium - might be a cool concept to consider - anywhere from An outdoor entertainment center or library If you are interested in floor pita, same can be done for a roof deck and any balconies. In the backs of both sofas and chairs you could create desk space, plus more places to store things. You can also create slits inside of kitchen cabinetry for pullout/slide out dinette tables or desks. Steps can be used for storage too. If you have interest in floor pits: For furniture I’d look at “smart beds” and “smart sectionals” at jubilee furniture, Sobro coffee/dude tables, “prepdeck” for meal prep, kitchen sink workstation - a cutting board to use as a sink cover with containers underneath, (you could also add foldable legs underneath so it could easily stand up.) After that, for balconies and decks, I’d look up hammock stands and swing chairs or benches that can be converted into bunk beds to dinnette tables, and then more additional desk space behind. If you are willing to consider the four doors esp in the back you could sort of hollow out the roof door and store both a drop down shower or tent…. Etc, etc, etc… Another cool thing you can do on both of the exterior of the passenger side and drivers side at cockpit area - create slits in the outer shell and have pull out swivel dinnette tables, with swing away Bård stools latched on the body or legs/base so that if anyone seated inside of the vehicle, someone else can quite litterally “pull up a chair” and a desk/table/bar and hang out. :) Hope this helps! 😊
I’m going to answer this the best way I can. I have no idea hahaha. But seriously I’m friends with great people that share great information with me. I have no problem going up to people to ask them if I can check out the rig. I’ve said it 1000 times and I’ll say it again. I tour the person, not the van. The person(s) personality shines through each build
OK. Great build. But - 800 miles?! (almost 1300 km.!) I'm from western Canada, and we are used to driving long distances for various occasions and reasons. Wow! You guys can just wander around and drive for ages. Impressive build and design - and ---800 miles!!
This van…. although you can really see the workmanship it’s not my esthetic at all. I am on the complete opposite camp. (Can you imagine that fuel bill? And waiting behind them at the station! But love they don’t have to stop and look to fill up.) That being said I can see they really wanted comfort and they weren’t afraid to buy the best.
@catchingepic amazing van! @JarrodTocci you voice and style are remarkable :) Question: would you do the Brava again? It seemed you went to a lot of work making the electrical system support it. I read on their site that they don't recommend under counter but you have it on a slide for venting so that likely works just fine! I am considering Nomadic for a build. As a westcoast Canadian the currency conversion pushes my budget a bit hard.
Lotta nice gear here! I wish they would have tucked a cubby for the toilet to have a better shower experience and it can go into 1 part of that bench. Also what is the water capacity? Seems they extended on many things yet not sure on the rest but nice build of course he went to the best!! Ideas for me but so thanks for showing it!!
Yeah the cubby setups are nice but it really doesn’t get in the way for the short time when using the shower. The space the cubby would’ve taken is more valuable as all the time storage.
@@catchingepic PIt made a difference to me so I do want it in My build but I have a different set up so incinerating toilet as well as a recirc shower.
@@SherylKatz Love the idea of the incinerator toilet but the power consumption efficiency just wasn’t there to be practical yet. We also had slated to beta test a recirc shower system but it wasn’t ready in our time frame - we left room to add a system later when a more reliable, compact, and easily maintained system is developed.
@@JarrodTocci Appreciate you Jarrod, I know you can't tour them all. Glad you're well again. That box type van looked very intriguing oh well next time
We have 3 overhead cabinets above the bed on each side for clothes, plus the rooftop box that's bigger than a few home dressers. Plus 4 additional overhead cabinets and a slide out pantry for food-not to mention the refrigerator. Kitchen items are in the 8 drawers below the galley countertop. Trash can and cleaning products under the sink. We even have a laundry chute with a removable bag in it. Additional storage under the bench, overhead shelf of the cab, and in side cubbies in the garage - we have MORE than enough space.
Love that they got exactly what they wanted in their van, with the exception of I wish that exotic vulnerable/rare/endangered/threatened woods wouldn’t be used. They seem like a great couple, and this was a great tour!
Out of respect to the client I did not ask. I know so many want to know but we have to respect those that don’t want to share. This is why I ask brand names and give the builders name because if someone really wants to know they can look up the products and contact the builder to get an estimate.
Theboointnof the video is to give information. Saying not cheapmdoes not help the viewer. For future videos askndielrect question, like " what was the cist" this will give the audience true information for their own build. 🎉
We chose the 4” less in width of a Sprinter vs a Promaster to gain the extra 3’ in length over the longest Promaster. Plus putting that much weight in the back of a front wheel drive Promaster wouldn’t work for where we want to go.
I know it's common to not want to ask prices, but like... look, I want to know. I get if I have to ask, I can't afford it, but like... even if I had a six figure income, I probably couldn't afford it THEN either so... humor me? xD
Consider this. It’s respect, and change of pricing. Once anyone says a price of anything then it’s locked into what this video says. Let’s say some someone watches video in 6-12 months. Look at all the things that could change in price, bumpers, suspension, roof rack, power system, solar panels, LABOR, windows, appliances, even price of wood changes. ALL of those things go into an estimate when a professional builds on a van. I also don’t share to respect the client that, in most cases don’t want to share the price. This is also why I ask the brand of products so the person watching can look up all the products and do their own homework. This is also why I started posting videos on why vans cost what they do. Maybe you’ve watched them but I’m trying to help educate those on van pricing. Including the van this total van and build is probably north of 200k but south of 300k
It’s between 200-400k 😉 if you’re truly interested then I’d say look up the parts I asked about and contact the builder for an estimate and add the cost of a van. You’ll have a better understanding of what all vans cost
@@JarrodTocci i’ve watched enough of your videos over the years (especially the ones where you break down online listings) to have a pretty good idea lol my guess for this one would be slightly under; i just enjoy trying to set the lines for over/unders
Didn’t forget. I asked the customer and some don’t like talking about price. Some of the builders I’ve shown have talked price many times. A custom van will cost $80-200k depending on what you want. That’s a wide range because there are that many options. It’s hard to gauge what a custom van will cost off one van. It’s also hard to gauge what a diy van will cost too. That’s why I ask product names so the person can look up what each item is and determine how much and how difficult it might be to install or build. Lastly time is a value as well and something to consider
@@karenpsrsons1596It could… but we wanted something that will get us somewhere off-road and off the beaten path. That allows us better maneuverability and put our bikes safely inside. That can go farther, and give us better mileage and performance. That isn’t made of cheap materials and lesser components. So instead, it put us into exactly what WE wanted.
Incinerator toilet is the way to go with a mini indoor fire box to heat the van and panoramic day night surveillance camera system on the roof. Might as well go with Armour plating, bullet proof glass and run flat tires, when you show you have money, expect the undesirables wanting to rob you at gun point…
All I can say is WOW!!!! I would absolutely love to live in this rig I mean I am not at all surprised with the amazing and beautiful woodworking that Mark did (along with his entire team that also need major shout outs) but all the storage put in all the nooks and crannies, and I really wish he would have given a ballpark figure for cost because I'm very curious but also know probably well over $130,000.00. Thanks again Jarrod for another amazing tour! 🚐

Deserves the luxury stamp
Wow. That is how you do it. All top end by thoughtful companies. Enjoy it and each other.
Another example of a luxury high end hand crafted build. That little Thor's hammer was like Nomadic's mic drop!

I've never had my mouth open for 22 minutes from amazement, this was so unique and so insane. Absolute beauty my gosh!
That wood work alone qualifies as pieces of expensive art! Love it!

Great tour! Just when I think I can’t see anything new. Mark and team do such great work. I like the Brava or whatever it is cooker thing.
Awesome van❤❤
Damn.... dude must have struck oil twice. Cool build.

Finally someone understands why I tour the high end rigs 😂 thank you!
Beautiful!!
This is what I would do. My wife has no idea. Congratulations on Beauty and Operational Strength!!
I'm drooling, but my best guess, based on all the options & craftsmanship, is in the $260-300k range.
Probably closer to 400-500k. I’ve seen a few in the 300k and they’re not even close to this in detail and mods.
Most expensive van I’ve personally stepped into was 350k and I’m sure there are some out there that are more. I can say this one is expensive but it’s not that high. Might be worth that much but they got a great deal too
@@JarrodTocci It's impressive, regardless of price.

Hey, a friendly tip: why not consider wall niches in the back of the van - one on passengers side and the other on the drivers side, you can take wall mounted Murphy bunk beds - put each set on two different slide outs,
The first to extract the flipable wall mounted bunks out of the niches, once they are out, the second slide out can send both out of the door, a pull down projector screen can hang from the ceilings edge, a porch or a floor platform can eject outwards - esp if you are willing to consider refashioning the doors differently, let’s say in a box package form - so four doors, with this concept in mind, please look up both “Murphy doors” and “Murphy desks”
If this concept interests you, you could look into “four sided kitchen cabinetry, create wall niches inside/outside of doors, put four sided kitchen cabinetry on a slide out to extract it from door frame when you would like to use it, but also place a “lazy Susan type mechanic underneath so it can spin - if you are willing do do the same for the door exterior, - may make a cool concept for outdoor kitchen - then you get to free up more room from inside the van,
From there I would consider adding at least two slide outs, one on each side of the van that runs the duration.
I’d then look into the following rvs
Volkner rv with solar panels in between glass to create fencing for sky deck
I’d look into Draper Landark for a pull down balcony from exterior
I’d look at game changer toy hauler rv to see how you can store and slide furniture to the wall, and to take this concept a step further, you can add storage within the edges of the floor, then you can look into floor pits.
Lehel by Alexander’s - in one video at least you can see a removable podium - might be a cool concept to consider - anywhere from
An outdoor entertainment center or library
If you are interested in floor pita, same can be done for a roof deck and any balconies.
In the backs of both sofas and chairs you could create desk space, plus more places to store things. You can also create slits inside of kitchen cabinetry for pullout/slide out dinette tables or desks. Steps can be used for storage too.

Outstanding channel. I have 5 years before I'm selling my home, retiring, and hitting the road. Very helpful.
God I love builds done by Mark
Really like the topagraphical pattern on the side of the vehicle

I love their wrap, it looks like a giant gold brick. But I would’ve done a rose gold color, it would look cuter. 👧🏻
Trash and Laundry was the First thing I thought about. 😂
I’m feeling claustrophobic
Not my vibe. But they seem happy 🙌🏼
Another nice tour video! Thank you for sharing!!❤ continued prayers and love for you!❤
nice build for the 1%...
What’s stopping you from working towards being in the 1% every day?
@@JamesRailProductions. buying stuff like this making me broke!!!
Wow! Drive about 800 miles before filling? 😳 Awesome!
Fun van tour! Thanks!
👍👍👍 Great Interview. (And more proof that everybody loves Mark... and his team.)
Amazing build! Is there a full can tour video on this build? Would love to see more, but I can’t seem to find it… 8(
I never knew you could make WallPaper WaterProof. Cool trick, Im going to use that one. Did he not have propane? To heat up hot water etc..?
No propane. It’s a company called Van Life Tech and they use a heat exchanger
So nice!
Aside from the extended fuel tank, what were the other tank capacities?
I think standard gets 300 miles range. Maybe 400. I’m sure that’s a quick look up. Gallon capacity I’d have to look up, sorry
32 Fresh (including WH); 22 Grey; 15 Black

So waiting behind a fellow citizen at a pump triggers you?
You should cover that back tire. They ain't cheap.
It’s locked on
@@catchingepic nice!
Beautiful Build
This is a great build. By chance, do you have a view of the roof?
@NomadikCustoms will post a video eventually that should show a view from the drone
This is why I need a b-roll checklist lol
Clearly costs more than my condo.... nice rig but over the top.
We just wanted to take the comforts of a condo with us wherever we go 🤷🏻♂️
Wait, What issue is caused by the Victron Inverter with the Brava oven? I'm mid-build and planning to use both of these components
@catchingepic amazing van! @JarrodTocci you voice and style are remarkable :) Question: would you do the Brava again? It seemed you went to a lot of work making the electrical system support it.

I have a Brava in my tiny home. They don’t recommend it under counter because of venting so it needs to vent a lot
Yes it’s luxury, but too much! I feel claustrophobic just watching the vid!
I bet it’s overweight and that is legally bad in any accident!
Lotta nice gear here! I wish they would have tucked a cubby for the toilet to have a better shower experience and it can go into 1 part of that bench. Also what is the water capacity? Seems they extended on many things yet not sure on the rest but nice build of course he went to the best!! Ideas for me but so thanks for showing it!!
33 gal fresh water. Been plenty for up to 10 days so far. Have a collapsible 5 gal if we want to bring a little more.
@@catchingepic Thanks!! Love the build just that cubby. 👌🏻
Yeah the cubby setups are nice but it really doesn’t get in the way for the short time when using the shower. The space the cubby would’ve taken is more valuable as all the time storage.

Great Tour Jarrod, will you be doing the Grey Van in the background seen several times but seen good @ 18:00 ?
That was filmed at an event a while ago. I wanted to tour everyone but I got sick so I was very limited to who I toured
@@JarrodTocci Appreciate you Jarrod, I know you can't tour them all. Glad you're well again. That box type van looked very intriguing oh well next time
where do they put their clothes, dishes, pots and pans, trash, etc? i didn't see any storage in all that space.
We have 3 overhead cabinets above the bed on each side for clothes, plus the rooftop box that's bigger than a few home dressers. Plus 4 additional overhead cabinets and a slide out pantry for food-not to mention the refrigerator. Kitchen items are in the 8 drawers below the galley countertop. Trash can and cleaning products under the sink. We even have a laundry chute with a removable bag in it. Additional storage under the bench, overhead shelf of the cab, and in side cubbies in the garage - we have MORE than enough space.
Love that they got exactly what they wanted in their van, with the exception of I wish that exotic vulnerable/rare/endangered/threatened woods wouldn’t be used. They seem like a great couple, and this was a great tour!
At what pricetag are we looking including the van? 300.000 dollars? 😳 Can you get more on a vanbuild, love it buy the way❤️🙏👌
This van was custom done so it’s not for sale
What is the deal with the Multiplus and Brava incompatibility exactly? 20:50
Frequency output
What do van lifers do when their van's break down? ....hotel or tent for a few days?
Just from experience and different kinds later. Black refrigerator metal is not as durable as stainless steel or white. It bumps easier.
Where is the cooktop, storage, ya know, all the girl stuff?!!
I keep missing it. What kind of oven?
Brava
I'd love to know how much they spent on this setup
Out of respect to the client I did not ask. I know so many want to know but we have to respect those that don’t want to share. This is why I ask brand names and give the builders name because if someone really wants to know they can look up the products and contact the builder to get an estimate.
What is that rubber looking thing with treads above your bike rack in back?
Those are for when you get stuck in the mud. Even though they also have a winch and massive offroad tires
The poplar brand is maxtraxx but there are knock offs sold online

I'm sure you meant to say that you don't know if anyone could top them.
Who did the Exterior Wrap?
A company in Portland, OR - through Nomadik Customs
@@catchingepic Are you saying that I should ask Nomadik Customs, or do you know who did the Exterior Wrap?
@@tomchan2901 I don’t know the company. Nomadik handled it.
We will soon see vans with washing machine/dryer/dishwasher….
A GREAT van!!! But it is WAY over it's GVWR. Wonder why they didn't build it on a 3500HD Sprinter?
total cost？
Sheesh, what a dream van! Ballpark $ range, how much are we talking?
100-200k not including van
Very narrow compared to a Promaster
We chose the 4” less in width of a Sprinter vs a Promaster to gain the extra 3’ in length over the longest Promaster. Plus putting that much weight in the back of a front wheel drive Promaster wouldn’t work for where we want to go.
Seems like Promaster = widest, Transit = tallest, Sprinter = longest. Pick your poison😃
Jarrod,Let people talk,please✌️👍
Are they saying “brava” cook system? Anyone, please?
Yes. If you look up brava cooking then it should come right up
Cute*
What's the electricity...did I miss it?
630ah of Lithionics (12v system)
What would you guess this total build is?
Build plus van probably over 200k
I know it's common to not want to ask prices, but like... look, I want to know. I get if I have to ask, I can't afford it, but like... even if I had a six figure income, I probably couldn't afford it THEN either so... humor me? xD
Consider this. It’s respect, and change of pricing. Once anyone says a price of anything then it’s locked into what this video says. Let’s say some someone watches video in 6-12 months. Look at all the things that could change in price, bumpers, suspension, roof rack, power system, solar panels, LABOR, windows, appliances, even price of wood changes. ALL of those things go into an estimate when a professional builds on a van. I also don’t share to respect the client that, in most cases don’t want to share the price. This is also why I ask the brand of products so the person watching can look up all the products and do their own homework. This is also why I started posting videos on why vans cost what they do. Maybe you’ve watched them but I’m trying to help educate those on van pricing. Including the van this total van and build is probably north of 200k but south of 300k
Where do their kids go?
Who said they had any
over/under 300k?
It’s between 200-400k 😉 if you’re truly interested then I’d say look up the parts I asked about and contact the builder for an estimate and add the cost of a van. You’ll have a better understanding of what all vans cost
@@JarrodTocci i’ve watched enough of your videos over the years (especially the ones where you break down online listings) to have a pretty good idea lol my guess for this one would be slightly under; i just enjoy trying to set the lines for over/unders
I'd say 170K plus the van, to include all the exterior upgrades
How heavy is it?
Not sure you saw in the video but I asked and he didn’t want to share. I respect anyone not wanting to share any details with the public
@@JarrodTocci I see...
Shame he to afraid to tell us how much it cost to build the camper van. It help us decide should we go from Pre-made or Custom.
Didn’t forget. I asked the customer and some don’t like talking about price. Some of the builders I’ve shown have talked price many times. A custom van will cost $80-200k depending on what you want. That’s a wide range because there are that many options. It’s hard to gauge what a custom van will cost off one van. It’s also hard to gauge what a diy van will cost too. That’s why I ask product names so the person can look up what each item is and determine how much and how difficult it might be to install or build. Lastly time is a value as well and something to consider

Honestly if it doesn't have a bed lift you better off living in a car
Yeah, the kitchen, large bed, table, full bathroom, internet, solar, ability to standup and walk around in isn’t that important for a live in vehicle.
😂🤣
😂
Spending that much could put you in a nice, spacious class A or Suoer C.
@@karenpsrsons1596It could… but we wanted something that will get us somewhere off-road and off the beaten path. That allows us better maneuverability and put our bikes safely inside. That can go farther, and give us better mileage and performance. That isn’t made of cheap materials and lesser components. So instead, it put us into exactly what WE wanted.
there's a way to film conversion builds that isn't torture for the audience...this is not that way
It’s my style and I’ve been doing it that way for 200 tours 🤷🏻♂️ to each their own
Incinerator toilet is the way to go with a mini indoor fire box to heat the van and panoramic day night surveillance camera system on the roof. Might as well go with Armour plating, bullet proof glass and run flat tires, when you show you have money, expect the undesirables wanting to rob you at gun point…
All I can say is WOW!!!! I would absolutely love to live in this rig I mean I am not at all surprised with the amazing and beautiful woodworking that Mark did (along with his entire team that also need major shout outs) but all the storage put in all the nooks and crannies, and I really wish he would have given a ballpark figure for cost because I'm very curious but also know probably well over $130,000.00. Thanks again Jarrod for another amazing tour! 🚐
