There will always be the buyer who wants all the best of bells and whistles.....kudos to that customer and your company meeting those needs.

Everybody else on RUclips is fired. This guy should narrate and show all campers from now on. Fully informative, well spoken, concise. Beautiful. Oh, sweet rig too,. I did not read all the comments but what is the LxWxH of the full rig? EDIT: It's on their website for those curious. Body height 10’ 8”- Body Width 7’ 2” - Overall Length 23’ 6” Including Rear Storage Box.
@@nomadrvs Bed is quite isolated from EMF's (branch circuits) and although panel is near bed circuits can be managed if necessary. Fridge is in brilliant location and super large, chassis is 1 ton which appeals to me and certainly in terms of capabilities. Simple stow away range to maximize counter use AND convection oven! Battery capacity, shell construction, 4 season and heating system appears to be truly winter capable ... there's a ton of genius and appeal to how this was put together. Very nice!
This is just phenomenal!! No wood, no rot. 1 ton. I love all of the power, off grid capabilities for those times we want to drop off for a week. Didn't sacrifice toilet/shower or fridge space for longer stretches of time. Also appreciate the true queen, husband is just a hair over 6ft. This is crazy capable and gorgeous to boot. One of the best we've seen!
To eliminate partner crawl over consider a north south twin bed floor plan. For a less claustrophobic feeling open up the inside by eliminating the full height hard side shower. Consider a shower pan/ toilet base with flip up top and magnetic ceiling mounted shower curtains. How does the battery location affect the departure angle?
WOW! Kudos on a spectacular build! You obviously know camping and the many deficiencies of poorly built campers presently on the market. Love Love Love that it is a TRUE off-grid 4 season camper! I'd like to see: 1. Hard surface counters 2. Flat instead of shiny powder coat to cabinets 3. Inside dump switch for the gray tank 4. Divider to separate living area from cab when you need to block off cold/heat 5. TV option. Overall, very impressive build of which you should be very proud! Nicely done!
Solid surface options and we are changing this one to it. Interesting idea on the flat cabinet. We are thinking about finding a large enough valve for dumping. Working on the divider and Rv option as well. You hit it on the head of things we are already looking into and have been in the works. Appreciate the feedback!!
@nomadrvs I liked the storage in the back for electric bikes, the huge fridge, shower and powder coat interior. Overall you really focus on quality and function
@ My favorite feature is the huge power bank to start. But what sets this build apart is the compact powerful size to go off road, huge fridge, study aluminum construction, tech integration, storage on a less then 28ft platform and sleek design without a huge cap over the drivers quarters. Just to name a few. Very nice Nomads. Keep up the great work!!!!
We spend alot of time in yellowstone in jan and Feb how will this handle those temps with tank pads? Right now our main purchase option is the Ekko. We love the layout and setup but our main concern and question is how low will the tanks and lines handle montans and wyoming temps in winter.
Nice purposeful rig. Has a Hymer euro look on the outside. What I like: 1) Composite. 2) Massive 48v electrical system. 3) Garage. 4) 50 gallon fresh. 5) Super singles for improved off-roading 6) Aqua hot heating. 7) Large fridge. 8) Tern Overland windows/doors Critical feedback: 1) Garage door/inside not large enough to store 2 bikes? 2) Gloss interior roof and cabinets, should be flat. 3) Battery outside! This could be a performance issue with hot/cold weather. 4) Preference to build on Sprinter 170 chassis to allow more interior/exterior space. 5) No comfortable lounge space, especially as driver/passenger seats are not part of the habitat! 6) Shower stall looks a bit tight. 7) Need to know more about the manufacturer of those composite panels and construction + insulation used. 8) Need to know more about how chassis flex versus habitat box is attached and issolated - please explain more @2:50. Overall an excellent rig. Congrats
Hey Patrick. If possible, when you take us into the rig for the first time, could you do a quick 360 tour of the interior before the owner starts the tour? I think it flows better and more naturally that way, because that's what the first thing anyone would do when they enter a vehicle, take a full look around. That would be great! I love this rig, so clean on the outside and in.
I'm waiting for a pullout stair with a landing and steps parallel to the rig. Likely to the rear. Tons of innovation by this RV builder already. Thanks Patrick.
I won't be ready for a couple of years, but this is perfect. Maybe, Maybe, Maybe there will be more advancement of EV's, hopefully Mercedes will be there. I would love to see this platform on a Mercedes EV in the future, seems doable. Thank you for the excellent presentation.
As someone who does vehicle recovery to fund my off-road addiction, I hope tons of these things are produced and sold. I think I might be able to afford a gold toilet in my van !
I must say, thats the top in its class that I've seen so far, only not sure of the aluminum cabinets. It reminds me of file cabinets. I also like more cook top space. My all time favorite, is still, the 3 or 4 burner propane Wedgwood range with a small oven. But i am definitely interested in your company and her creations. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
The cabinets do look sturdy, I guess with all the power aboard, and the heating system (which I don't quite understand), Propane ain't necessary. I'm used to 80's old school RVs. But I am impressed.
Very cool. I'd be a little worried about the plywood used along the top of the rear cargo storage area. I imagine a lot of folks will use that as wet/dry storage and any condensation would eventually rot it out.
@@nomadrvs The cabinets were really cool. I assumed they were wood, had no idea they were metal. It was a nice touch and they will last forever with little to no wear.
@@nomadrvs Also if you ever build a 19 foot version with reduced features (no shower, smaller refrigerator, etc.) in the 160K-170K you could reach a whole new customer base and you wouldn't really have any competition that I am aware of.
Amazing rig! 3 questions. 1) Gas mileage? 2) I know the Sprinter 3500 has a GVWR of 11,030. What’s the dry weight? Cargo carrying capacity? 3) I need a TV! Any way to lose a few of the upper cabinets at the end of the bed to mount a TV?
One last thing. I’ve seen a few truck campers that have the bed mattress on gas struts with 6-12” of storage room underneath the mattress. I think it’d add quite a bit of storage. I’ll be in the market for something like your vehicle in the next not too distant future. You’re definitely at the top of my list!
i am afraid to ask the price, gas milage? demensions of the back storage how wide the opening? my bike is trike and is 31 inche wide on back and 80 iinche total lenght. 45 inche high, total, nice looking rv.
Introductory pricing is mentioned in the end of the video. $199,500. Mpg is per user. I got around 17. The trike is super high. Won’t fit. For reference the interior is 78” so your trike is higher than the bed counters etc.
I love the compact size, massive battery/solar systems, large fridge and water tank, hydronic heat/hot water, off-road capable, nice suspension upgrades, well insulated, plenty of storage, easy to clean light weight cabinets, etc. This is exactly the type of van I want to retire in. The only thing I'd definitely change is to move the starlink and heating pad switches so they are easily accessible at all times. I'd also like to know the exact payload capacity as well as more detail into how it's build/assembled/wired, etc. I did see some exposed wiring in the wheel well, which isn't good, but hopefully that will be addressed in future production models. I'd love to see a manufacturing documentary on how this van is actually put together...that's a great video idea for you Patrick!
Correct this is the prototype and there are some changes for production. Just weighed it this morning and still need to weigh myself but looking like 2,085 OCCC
Wow!!! I was giving the Sprinter EKKO serious consideration, but the few I seen in person already had some yellowing of the glues on outside panels, and some other minor fitment stuff… I’m happy that I seen this. Quality and fitment looks awesome.
Worst off is their entire quality. For instance their current solar problem for last 4 months which finally has a fix for the recall. Thanks for the kind words! 🤙🏼
@@smitty_schmitz If you ever have a need to come to NJ we'd be happy to show it to you. Or if you want to do a facetime call to check anything out that is certainly an option as well.
Great tour, amazing rig. Got to see the Euphoria in person and meet Steve at Overland Expo East. It was definitely a show highlight for us. There has been a ton of thought put into this build and the price may not work for everyone, but for what you're getting you are not going to find this quality / feature combo for any cheaper. If I'm missing something, I'm all ears...
Thank you. We are the biggest fans of hanging it there and taking up space. So we just put the roll inside when using the bathroom. We might do a flush mount that encroaches about 1/2 the roll or so inside in the shower and rest ends up under the sink area with a cover. Not sure.
Great presentation! This is a very tempting option. One question: I see the rear panel angled up to help departure angle. But I wonder if the huge battery box below affect the departure angle a lot. What’s the data on approach / departure and break over. Thanks.
The battery bank is very similar to the panel angle. Maybe 1” lower. However with that said we are looking to move them inside as we believe there is room now that everything is laid out in the real world scenario
@@paulbailey5915 yup! It was the original plan then I didn’t think it worked so we designed the heated box. But now that it’s built it will work to have them inside.
Love this floorplan and how airy it feels inside! I've been looking at other B+ vans. Any chance of getting this onto a Ford Transit chassis in the future?
This is awesome I just wish it had a way of having three separate bed systems.. although I guess if your kid was small enough which mine is not they could fit in that upper cabinet above the cab.. we have a five year plan I'm a retired truck driver you know I got to go all over the country Canada and Nova Scotia Alaska entire lower 48 got to drive them but never got to stop and enjoy anything my grown daughter has never seen the country at all and then my grandson who will be 14 so she's going to homeschool him and we're going to take off we were looking for something like this that can house all three of us and still go anywhere and everywhere we want during any season but nobody's wants to share their sleeping space.
Love the build you ticked all the boxes , I would add a extra alternator for charging the batteries and cut half the solar then it would be perfect. Awesome job 👏
I noticed no out door wet bay like normal RVs. I guess what from what I seen everything is spread out like out door shower, 30amp , water fill and dump. All in different places. Did I see a tv in the rear or miss that. Great set up though . I need to come by and review in person.
Electric on RVs is always in a different place than the water on the exterior of RVs. Wet bay depends. I’ve had class A’s with water and sewer in the same bay and travel trailers and class c’s spread out to their locations like this one.
Really? Could have used a US chassis but chose a German one. I don’t care where something is made. Just want quality at a fair price. Enough of the US made as much as possible. Much more was possible.
Thanks for covering these types of builds. I do wish you shot with a slightly wider angle lens. Its kinda hard to really get a feel for the space unless youre at one end looking back.
@nomadrvs really like you're vids, just thinking out loud as a videographer. It's a balance though because if you go too wide it also misrepresents the space. But I love watching these because I have been trying to design my ultimate van build. Been gathering ideas for about a year so I can really maximize the layout. Each tour gives me ideas.
For starters they are built strong. But also they are attached to the walls for the shower and inside cabinets has hidden sound deadening and carpet lined bottoms making the insides more quite than wood
A lot of features which would make this my choice over the Ekko, only would prefer smooth finish on cabinets maybe light gray color, and cabinets delete over bed.
Very nice design. After living in my Sprinter, I definitely wouldn't want to deal with putting blackout covers on the windows in the front cab every night. Definitely needs a partition door between the cab. And not sure if it's possible with the design of the table but a pass through from inside to the garage would be nice so you can access some things without going outside. Great job!
33" tires are totally adequate for taking this to it's limit. If you can't get somewhere with these tires you are probably going to need a tow from being stuck some where. Watch Matts off road recovery to see many people who thing their big rig is off road capable
Yes Yes Yes. I owned a Tofino for 2 years. This van might be the most complete, well thought off in the smaller class B+. I was as impressed by the vehicle as the tour. Very well done....Yet, as others have said, the price is way too high for me. Looking back, my Tofino by Pleasure-Way was maybe the best middle ground: solar panel, lithium battery, gas heater, 2 burners induction cook top, sink, bug screens for $75,000.00 out the door. What kind of world do we live in that a $220,000 class B van should be alright?
@@nomadrvs I work in a similar industry here in the UK. Happens all the time, you build a stunning vehicle then something extremely small catches someone’s attention and it’s game over 😂😂
Great specs, love it. This has made my very short list. 2 quirky questions: Are those outdated USB-A's (hope not) or (C = more future proof) how many watts output? i.e. for fast charging Mac pro or similar laptops etc? Are the aluminum available in white? thx. Kudos on all your systems.
Very nice design and the materials used are great, I would seriously consider to buy one but one concern for me is the engine , 4 cylinder twin turbo , these are running very, very hot, require serious maintenance on regular basis, also not many service shops that will be able to help you outside of the mb dealers , it would be good to get a full weight info, breaking distance , side wind issues, what is the lead time on one of these , thanks
I’ve been running it hard and it’s never been hot? Also there are shops outside of MB to work on it. This same motor is used on larger, heavier 4500 chassis rigs too
@ thank you for your answers , I was in process of buying a sprinter with this engine and stoped because of many reports of engine issues , many films on YT my point is that out,,, your offer is fantastic but such a rig needs different engine , MB is not what it used to be to be, consider Ford as an option, Jul 3, 2024 - ... Mercedes-Benz 2025 Sprinter van with the 4-cyl. twin turbodiesel engine. ... The engine had a catastrophic failure at 65k miles. Reported on ...
@@fiberboss2255 to each their own. All manufacturers can have issues. 65k is still under warranty. We’ve built transits that had issues earlier. But I understand. Everyone has their view on certain vehicles. Keep exploring 🤙🏼
This tics a lot of boxes for us! Maybe just became a favorite. One thing we’ve learned, you’ll never really know if you love it until you get in it! Where can we get an in-person viewing? We are in north-central WV.

Correct this is the prototype and there are some changes for production. Just weighed it this morning and still need to weigh myself but looking like 2,085 OCCC
@@nomadrvs Cool that's a solid payload
@@dlg5485 thanks. I’m stoked on it considering all the mods it has on it.
That thing is sick!
Thank you. Best feature?
@ the size, simplicity, and quality of
Really appreciate you debunking the B+ myth, thank you.
That is nice. Well done.
Thank you. Favorite feature?
Awesome rig. NJ built, nice.
Yes, it is!
Thank you! 🤙🏼
I absolutely love it. So perfect. Just can't afford it.
Thank you! Did anything really stand out?
Can anyone afford it :( its beautiful but not realistic for the majority of people.
wow, super cool.
It is a really great little RV!
Thank you! What is your favorite part?
nice rig , compact & capable ... my opinion , the cabinetry should be flat not gloss... i think he mentions options . Thanks ! ~peace~
Appreciate it 🤙🏼
I'm not too sure I like aluminum cabinetry, thinking of all the clancking. Notice they carpet the port side upper cabinets.
@@nomadrvs- You need some pictures of this on your website! 😎
@ very much so!
@@drivinglessons5813drawers and lined and so are the uppers
This is fantastic! Love the design and layout. Will you have power in the rear storage to charge electric bikes, boards and stuff? Great job Nomad
Eventually
Yup!
Wow!!! I was giving the Sprinter EKKO serious consideration, but the few I seen in person already had some yellowing of the glues on outside panels, and some other minor fitment stuff… I’m happy that I seen this. Quality and fitment looks awesome.
Worst off is their entire quality. For instance their current solar problem for last 4 months which finally has a fix for the recall.
Thanks for the kind words! 🤙🏼
I know it’s early in production cycle, but do you have any headed to dealers on the west coast.. specifically SoCal? I’d love to see it in person
@@smitty_schmitz Right now we are direct to consumer so nothing dealer wise
@ copy that!
@@smitty_schmitz If you ever have a need to come to NJ we'd be happy to show it to you. Or if you want to do a facetime call to check anything out that is certainly an option as well.
Great tour, amazing rig. Got to see the Euphoria in person and meet Steve at Overland Expo East. It was definitely a show highlight for us. There has been a ton of thought put into this build and the price may not work for everyone, but for what you're getting you are not going to find this quality / feature combo for any cheaper. If I'm missing something, I'm all ears...
It’s a great RV!
Thank for recognizing it all! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Best thing I've seen. Finally something worth my money
@@joellynparks7805 thank you
Looks awesome! One question, where is the toilet paper roll? I didn't see it anywhere.
Thank you. We are the biggest fans of hanging it there and taking up space. So we just put the roll inside when using the bathroom. We might do a flush mount that encroaches about 1/2 the roll or so inside in the shower and rest ends up under the sink area with a cover. Not sure.
Wow that's really great. I would love to have one.
It's awesome, right?
Thank you! What was your favorite part?
Great presentation! This is a very tempting option. One question: I see the rear panel angled up to help departure angle. But I wonder if the huge battery box below affect the departure angle a lot.
What’s the data on approach / departure and break over. Thanks.
The battery bank is very similar to the panel angle. Maybe 1” lower. However with that said we are looking to move them inside as we believe there is room now that everything is laid out in the real world scenario
@@nomadrvs Great idea to move the batteries inside.
@@paulbailey5915 yup! It was the original plan then I didn’t think it worked so we designed the heated box. But now that it’s built it will work to have them inside.
Love this floorplan and how airy it feels inside! I've been looking at other B+ vans. Any chance of getting this onto a Ford Transit chassis in the future?
As of now there is no plan to be making it on the AWD ford transit
You did a Great job in designing and craftsmanship. Nothing else needed for a weekend or several weeks of adventure.
@@AndyGraham-q9t 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This is awesome I just wish it had a way of having three separate bed systems.. although I guess if your kid was small enough which mine is not they could fit in that upper cabinet above the cab.. we have a five year plan I'm a retired truck driver you know I got to go all over the country Canada and Nova Scotia Alaska entire lower 48 got to drive them but never got to stop and enjoy anything my grown daughter has never seen the country at all and then my grandson who will be 14 so she's going to homeschool him and we're going to take off we were looking for something like this that can house all three of us and still go anywhere and everywhere we want during any season but nobody's wants to share their sleeping space.
Love the build you ticked all the boxes , I would add a extra alternator for charging the batteries and cut half the solar then it would be perfect. Awesome job 👏
A third alternator? He said they have a second dedicated one for charging the system a the 5:22 mark.
@MrToyFrog ohh cool I must have missed that item 😅 thank you
I need and want one of those. It's awesome.
Thank you!
SWEET DESIGN!
What did you like the most?
Nice rig well thought out. Can the dry flush toilet be substituted with a cassette toilet?
Yes. Or composting. So 3 toilet options
Yes, absolutely
Love this amazing build and love the effort to keep it USA compliant! Just wish it was in the Ford chassis.
I noticed no out door wet bay like normal RVs. I guess what from what I seen everything is spread out like out door shower, 30amp , water fill and dump. All in different places. Did I see a tv in the rear or miss that. Great set up though . I need to come by and review in person.
Electric on RVs is always in a different place than the water on the exterior of RVs. Wet bay depends. I’ve had class A’s with water and sewer in the same bay and travel trailers and class c’s spread out to their locations like this one.
Awesome build - this thing is sick. American made as much as possible.....nice :-)
Thanks for the appreciation!
Really? Could have used a US chassis but chose a German one. I don’t care where something is made. Just want quality at a fair price. Enough of the US made as much as possible. Much more was possible.
I love this unit. It checks all the boxes for what I would want in an RV. Are they being sold manufacturer direct or will there be a dealer network ?
Currently we are doing manufacturer direct to the customer. This way we can offer more options color wise.
Thanks for covering these types of builds. I do wish you shot with a slightly wider angle lens. Its kinda hard to really get a feel for the space unless youre at one end looking back.
That’s funny. After shooting the video, Patrick brought up the point of a wider angle lens.
@nomadrvs really like you're vids, just thinking out loud as a videographer. It's a balance though because if you go too wide it also misrepresents the space. But I love watching these because I have been trying to design my ultimate van build. Been gathering ideas for about a year so I can really maximize the layout. Each tour gives me ideas.
@ awesome! 🙌🏼
I Love it !!
🙌🏼🤙🏼 thanks
Very nice 👌🏾 👍🏾
Thanks 🙌🏼
It's really nice and well thought out. Yet the price is almost what a conventional house would cost depending on what state you would be.
Highly depends on where you live. But it’s a house on wheels 🤙🏼
Can you reach the rear innermost storage without a slide tray? Will a mountain bike fit? So it’s a bargain at over 195,000 right??
You can reach inside from either side to the middle. 36” tall so bikes fit easily.
Very nice. Checks all the boxes!
Thank you! What is your favorite part?
I’m wondering what was done to keep the metal cabinets from rattling and also to dampen sound from the large metal walls in the shower.
For starters they are built strong. But also they are attached to the walls for the shower and inside cabinets has hidden sound deadening and carpet lined bottoms making the insides more quite than wood
Love it! And dry flush: smart!!!
I'd like to see a shelf or some hooks in the shower to place shampoo/soap, somewhere for TP, and a hook just outside for a towel.
Good thoughts 🤙🏼
A lot of features which would make this my choice over the Ekko, only would prefer smooth finish on cabinets maybe light gray color, and cabinets delete over bed.
There is a gray option available. We could eliminate the cabinets over the feet of the bed. There is still decent cabinetry for items then.
Very nice design. After living in my Sprinter, I definitely wouldn't want to deal with putting blackout covers on the windows in the front cab every night. Definitely needs a partition door between the cab. And not sure if it's possible with the design of the table but a pass through from inside to the garage would be nice so you can access some things without going outside. Great job!
We are still working on a thermal divider curtain.
Between the dinette and garage is all the systems and water tank etc so can’t really access
@@nomadrvs thanks for the reply. I'll be looking to upgrade in the future and will definitely consider one of your builds.
@@MikeChampionTravelsready when you are 😎
Awesome. Like a Mini Uni Mog
Indeed! I joked it looks like a van and a unimog had a baby
It's all about functionality.
Love this thing. It would be next level with BIGGER more aggressive tires and a cool wrap!!
Bigger than 33” AT’s? How big we going 😈😈😈
33" tires are totally adequate for taking this to it's limit. If you can't get somewhere with these tires you are probably going to need a tow from being stuck some where. Watch Matts off road recovery to see many people who thing their big rig is off road capable
That is really nice. Great build for a rv much better than the big manufactures. Jellybean outdoors❤
Thank you! 🙌🏼🤙🏼
Yes Yes Yes. I owned a Tofino for 2 years. This van might be the most complete, well thought off in the smaller class B+. I was as impressed by the vehicle as the tour. Very well done....Yet, as others have said, the price is way too high for me. Looking back, my Tofino by Pleasure-Way was maybe the best middle ground: solar panel, lithium battery, gas heater, 2 burners induction cook top, sink, bug screens for $75,000.00 out the door. What kind of world do we live in that a $220,000 class B van should be alright?
It’s a class C but the vehicle itself is nearly $75,000 to buy. Just the cab chassis to start with. ☹️
Wow!! Awesome rig!! It must be heavy with those building materials. 17mpg… 4 cylinder? 24 gal tank? Still, thanks for sharing! Looks amazing!!
It’s a 1 ton chassis. Turned to a RV. You should see what other RVs get mpg. This is much better.

Yea tell me about it. Cut them right when it got back to the shop 😂🤦🏻♂️

Well engineered I like how you said you set up the troughs for the utilities piping or electrical wiring
Thanks!
Great specs, love it. This has made my very short list. 2 quirky questions: Are those outdated USB-A's (hope not) or (C = more future proof) how many watts output? i.e. for fast charging Mac pro or similar laptops etc? Are the aluminum available in white? thx. Kudos on all your systems.
Very nice design and the materials used are great, I would seriously consider to buy one but one concern for me is the engine , 4 cylinder twin turbo , these are running very, very hot, require serious maintenance on regular basis, also not many service shops that will be able to help you outside of the mb dealers , it would be good to get a full weight info, breaking distance , side wind issues, what is the lead time on one of these , thanks
I’ve been running it hard and it’s never been hot? Also there are shops outside of MB to work on it. This same motor is used on larger, heavier 4500 chassis rigs too
Lead time right now is 4 months worst case scenario it things can change as orders come in
@ thank you for your answers , I was in process of buying a sprinter with this engine and stoped because of many reports of engine issues , many films on YT my point is that out,,, your offer is fantastic but such a rig needs different engine , MB is not what it used to be to be, consider Ford as an option,

@@fiberboss2255 to each their own. All manufacturers can have issues. 65k is still under warranty. We’ve built transits that had issues earlier. But I understand. Everyone has their view on certain vehicles. Keep exploring 🤙🏼
This tics a lot of boxes for us! Maybe just became a favorite. One thing we’ve learned, you’ll never really know if you love it until you get in it! Where can we get an in-person viewing? We are in north-central WV.

Very nice!
Thank you. Favorite feature?
