This van life dreamer has learned a lot. I hope to one day own a converted van (made with my own design) and either live in it full/part time and/or just travel in it. Thank you for sharing all kinds of Van builds from the professionals to the DIY'ers.
I love showing the view of the front part of the van, incuding all the extras in the front: swivel seats, how the second row of seats works out with a table, the shelf, etc.
OMG the complaints you get. I hope you ignore them. All of your tours are great, and you’re absolutely right. We learn something from every single rig. I had a great idea based on the collapsible overhead cabinets you showed in your last video.
Thank you. But if I didn’t get hate or complaints I’d worry. No one is perfect so I don’t expect to be. I’m used to people and I know most are projecting own insecurities. Sometimes I won’t read comments for days but I also like to read the positive ones or the ones that ask good questions
Beautiful build! For first time and normal average buyers like us we're happy with our 20AT Thor Tellaro w/lithium. Also sits 4 and sleeps 4 with the skybunk. 11,000W /800ah, 3000w inverter can run alternator at idle. We can run AC, microwave, heaters, TV etc no problems. We got ours for low $100K range. For next rig we definitely will consider custom build, ohh but all electric..
This is a totally awesome van, they do an amazing job with their vans and this is a great layout for families. I would loved to know how hefty the deposit is. Totally beautiful inside and outside. Great job on the walk through.
Thank you! So many ideas because of your videos. Needs vs wants is what you’ve made obvious for me. I have a better understanding of limited space with comfort. I don’t need everything. I only need my build to be an expression of me instead of everything cool and wonderful. I’ve cut my budget my 40%.
I know absolutely nothing about the modeling of vans or anything (definitely want to do it!) but watch Mercedes start doing those lights on all their vehicles now bc it’s AMAZING! 😍
Great! We came up with a similar layout for our 170 also needing to seat 4 and sleep 4. But since I'm 6'3 we will have the lower bed in the length direction of the van. This gives a little less room between bed area and seeting area. And we probably won't use the shower that much, an outside shower is enough.
Love this build drive 4 sleep 4 is what we would personally need. I have actually thought of some sort of double Murphy bed designs trying to figure how to maximize space to fit kid space.
I saw one design where there are two single bunk beds and they both can fold up and out of way.... Similar to a murphy. But also can leave bottom bed out and fold the top bunk DOWNWARDS to make like a day bed/couch type of sitting. I am also fond of the two benches with lowered table type beds too! Personal space no matter how small can make it break it for sure...... Cheers! I thought it was very clever! The guy does have a you tube! Cheers!
Holy hell…you guys are seriously, seriously talented! I truly would love one of these for some easy car camping-and to live in if I ever lost my house, lol. Congratulations on your builds!
Wanting to do this layout DYI in a year or two when I need to get a new vehicle…no shower and I’ll go much more simple/straight forward in terms of complexity with electronics and water systems. With that in mind, if I’m only driving 8 miles a day for work, would it be a huge deal to use this as a daily driver too? I can’t afford this as a fun vehicle. It would need to function daily too.
Why there are so many exposed metal parts of this van inside? Is it insulated at all? I always thought that one of the crucial things to do is to properly insulate it. This will not only help keeping the van warm in cold weather but also keep cool in warm weather.
My dream is to get one of these that is a Boondock model with solar power generator an engine alternator for a 2500 a month I have a lot of money saved up for it. But I’m having trouble with the quality, and the distributors around me I don’t trust I’ve been to them before and they’re nasty. This is the first one I’ve seen for 80,000 all of the Thor scope/rizes I’ve seen our 120. This right here is exactly what I want and if I could get it from a local trusted dealer and buy it today!
The tour was awesome, the van is even more impressive. But that Volta system being such a closed garden, totally unfriendly to right to repair is a total dealbreaker for me.
Hey, I'm a huge fan of your videos as they are so very informative and now even I am considering getting a camper van. According to you which are the best shows or exhibition to attend for seeing the best of camper vans?
Adventure van expo has high end builders. Time home shows/festivals have a good mix of DIY and pros and all sorts of vans and tiny homes. Open roads fest is lots of info for outdoorsy type stuff.
I really appreciate the hard work y'all put into these vans... But...uhh Im 6' tall. ...i dont like having to bend over while moving around.... So maybe a box truck that has a 7' tall interior???
@@JarrodTocci Thanks for the reply! I was thinking same, although lagun sounds good because you can swivel it around it may not be as sturdy. Any link for this new telescoping pedestal table style pls. Ty
Beautiful van, thank you for the interview. But all I hear is the interviewer screaming in the microphone when I would prefer to actually listen to the gentleman being interviewed.
I want no solar. I just want a ton of power!I want my pups to be comfortable. I need AC bc I have an autoimmune disease! I’m pretty sure OVP for my build.
Mercedes Sprinter is one of the most common vans in the Netherlands, and parts are easily purchased. Other brands are stepping up last years, with better wholesale prices on chassis and parts, and less repairs. That last point kept in mind: their suspentions were the reason that the MercedesVan was -next to Chevrolet- primarly used as Ambulances.
With pro builders I don’t because so much can change and I also respect the owner. With DIYers I ask if I can share price or cost and some say yes and some say no so again it’s a respect thing
I feel as though vans are now becoming a fashion statement with Rich people showing off their wealth by having the latest battery system etc. Instead of buying a supercar they are now splashing £100k on a van to go camping in a couple of weekends a year 🙄. Although it's an impressive build, I do find the DIY vans more interesting where the owners have invested their time learning new skills building it rather than just opening their wallets.
There’s room for everyone. When I got into vanlife nobody ever judged anyone and that’s why I loved it so much. I felt very safe. Hope we can get back to that. Live your van life
It's what it feels like for sure. Though for me it's more a matter of like... what's the longevity of Lithium Cobalt Oxide as opposed to Lithium Iron Phosphate and what're the cost differences at play here?
@@JarrodTocci yes, thank you!! I don't have a van/ambo/bus yet, but am planning on building something out when I retire and I *love* your professional build tours so I can learn from them. You're incredibly helpful, informative, and easy to watch. Dunno if I will DIY or buy from a pro, but either way your videos are very influential in my planning process. #liveyourvanlife (loved that guy, too!! His build was as creative as he is 😁)
Hi Adam Adam I just talked with you about your trip today and we are all all set up on this weekend so so much much to you you and and I I can see if we we could do do do that and we will do not need need need a plan to to to help us with the other PRs or
My DIY sprinter build was possible only because of how much knowledge I got from Dustin. Great shop, amazing builds

All these technological innovations make me feel really old. This is not the van my sister and I used to run away in the 70s 😂. Very cool 🥰
Jarrod I'm extremly appreciative of the fact that you guys provide us this much content to learn from. Keep crushing it dude!
I love showing the view of the front part of the van, incuding all the extras in the front: swivel seats, how the second row of seats works out with a table, the shelf, etc.
Probably the single best build I've seen. Congratulations!

Wow! Great tour of an amazing van. Dustin and OVP have really got their designs dialed in.

Just beyond perfect engineering. It’s amazing how van builds have advance with new upstart companies paving the way.
Right!!! Pretty awesome for sure!
Cheers!

Finally locating a Volta system van that has customizations. Awesome.
Awesome build. Very well done it's great to see family options. Very cool bumper
This DIY’er has learned s TON from OVP and your vids!
I love your tours dude, you are literally living my dream lol
I Love it. Absolutely fantastic van great job. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this van it’s amazing
I absolutely love this layout! Definitely want to buy a van from these guys!
Good to see Dustin again. He’s such a handsome guy
Holy hell…you guys are seriously, seriously talented! I truly would love one of these for some easy car camping-and to live in if I ever lost my house, lol. Congratulations on your builds!
Woo-hoo, it's the sexy af Overland guy again! Love your builds! And I totally learn tons!
Great build. Thanks jarred.
Keep showing those professional builds
Uploading one of the BEST now!
Love this !!! Don’t need the 2 beds personally but love the power and design
It’s a good idea if you have kids.
This vans are getting crazier and crazier by the ton!
Great video! Thank you so much!
I've noticed fabric wrap isn't great for fulltimers with pets unless it's Kevlar fabric.
Finally Jarod a 4 sleeper
I’ve done others that sleep 4 😝
lucky family....that is BEAUTIFUL.
yea that sprinter van is nice! id love one
Beautiful color excellent set up
A conversion like this by moving the camera around showing the relevant parts of the van would be nice,
Didn’t see a small refrigerator in there, is there one in there?
Wow love the shower and space can be custom for wheelchair planning for van in future
Thanks for the video, super helpful.
Could you put some links in of some of the gear he spoke about that supplied him with some of the many cool things he used!
What was the brand and model of the side awning... and the brand of the seats please? I couldn't make it out from the video and it's not listed
Beautiful electricals ,,, my dream 😍
No dirty water filtration... holy hell that's cool.
totally bummed that a West Coast custom van builder is standardizing. That said, I get the need to pump out more product to keep the doors open.
Would that massive 2nd alternator have much impact on the fuel economy of the van? That is an awesome build!!!
It shouldn’t. All an alternator is generate power so depending how it’s made is how much power it produces
Wow, gorgeous van!
If I win the lottery or they start paying teachers alot more I'm definitely getting one of these xD awesome video again!
For a minute there I thought Jarrod had snagged Mark Zuckerberg for an interview.
I like the pro builders
Great looking van, I’m interested in their battery system… I started following them.
Wanting to do this layout DYI in a year or two when I need to get a new vehicle…no shower and I’ll go much more simple/straight forward in terms of complexity with electronics and water systems.
With that in mind, if I’m only driving 8 miles a day for work, would it be a huge deal to use this as a daily driver too? I can’t afford this as a fun vehicle. It would need to function daily too.

I have a question, with a 20 gallon water tank, how they are going to shower if the family have four members?
Nice ! Can i see the tire rack up close ? Just beautiful work thank you ...👊😎

Where is it that the stainless steel shower is being purchased from or is that custom?
I need to get my credit up and start saving I want one!!!!
The seat quality and patterns should match
The tour was awesome, the van is even more impressive. But that Volta system being such a closed garden, totally unfriendly to right to repair is a total dealbreaker for me.
I wonder who will be first to stand up from back seats and concuss themselves on that cabinet corner?
Beautiful ❤️❤️
Hey, I'm a huge fan of your videos as they are so very informative and now even I am considering getting a camper van.

That was totally awesome!!!!
Nice design, how much is it?
The ceiling strip light, during day time and light is off does that strip light look ugly and affects the nice look of the ceiling?
do they make vans with an extended roof? im 6'6 am i just out of luck when it comes to van/tiny home life?
how has the volta system holding up?
Great review.Thak you.
It is a great van. The stainless steel is so nice in the bathroom, but I wouldn't be able to fit in it though.
Who doesn't love forts.
Sorry if I missed this; Where did you source the shower/toilet enclosure and pan? TIA
Wow....impressive.
The alternator is 7000 watts, at 48v direct output....right?
Then the alternator is only 145 amps?
4 people no,2 people definitely. Use the lower bed area for storage.
How much would one of these cost
Really very awesome
How much something like this cost?
Awesome... thanks for sharing
That is amazing van. Thank you for showing us. After rvlife, we are looking forward to Vanlife and than boatlife #kapken
This Dude should stop talking and let this guy show the van👍
NICE!!!!! build. Wow.
Great video. Great company. Could you provide any additional info on the Oregon/Washington RV loan (workaround) that he mentioned?
What's cost plus maintenance on average?
Beautiful, but way above my price range!!
Is it slick though?
I really appreciate the hard work y'all put into these vans...
But...uhh
Im 6' tall. ...i dont like having to bend over while moving around....
So maybe a box truck that has a 7' tall interior???
Ford transits have a high enough roof and I’ve seen a lot of 6 foot people in sprinters and promasters too
@@JarrodTocci
Alrighty then
So Freaking Awesome!!
What are the pros of pedestal table like on this video instead of the Lagun swivel style table pls. Pros n cons, ty!
Weight. Lagun is great but can’t handle as much weight. This new style of telescoping pedestal allows you to remove it
@@JarrodTocci Thanks for the reply! I was thinking same, although lagun sounds good because you can swivel it around it may not be as sturdy. Any link for this new telescoping pedestal table style pls. Ty
Did they say the customer was locked out of servicing the Volta system? That would be a easy deal breaker for me. Right to repair.
What r high idle kits to charge the batteries?
Yes! I want to learn from the builders that know what they're doing!
Beautiful van, thank you for the interview. But all I hear is the interviewer screaming in the microphone when I would prefer to actually listen to the gentleman being interviewed.
I want no solar. I just want a ton of power!I want my pups to be comfortable. I need AC bc I have an autoimmune disease! I’m pretty sure OVP for my build.

what are the light strips on the roof?
"not a small guy maybe 5'10"...." Everybody over 6' watching this is secretly rolling their eyes
It would be really nice if we can have the price tag for each final product for references.
With pro builders I don’t because so much can change and I also respect the owner. With DIYers I ask if I can share price or cost and some say yes and some say no so again it’s a respect thing
Very nice. Seat 4 sleep 4 tho
I wouldn't buy a system I couldn't add things to myself, but then again I would want to build my own
How you doin today?
