I recognize that bridge, I grew up in St Johns. Cool beans. I’d love to support my hometown economy so I’ll look up OVP when I’m ready for my truck conversion.
I remember this guy from your earlier tours. Fantastic he is doing so well. People are so crazy I hope no one is suing him seems vehicle modifications would draw the lawsuit bloodsuckers. Hope and pray for the best!
Why would they sue him? Extremely hard to have a design patent in a van. Those that do are bs (my opinion). He’s following everything that he’s allowed to do
@@JarrodTocci Forgive me it was a stupid comment. This guy is as professional as professionals get. No I am thinking of the slip and fall artist or someone purposely smashing the van to claim injuries. I have witnessed this stuff in Richmond VA and even Flagstaff AZ. It varies from place to place.
@@JarrodTocci I was thinking and remembered this example. I guy I knew in the Mid-west pulled his car out in front of a speeding semi truck and was rear ended. His wife was permanently crippled. The trucking company paid a large damage settlement then the guy divorced his crippled wife. Need good insurance and hard as nails boiler plate legal shields.
Thank you for sharing Jarod! I would love to win a van already converted, but my husband doesn't want all the same things as me, I often wonder if I could win one, if he would be willing to travel with me!? Hmmmmmmm thank you, you got my gears turning, lol! Absolutely beautiful tour! Much love to you and I'll see you later! Be safe, well and protected! Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Haha you sure did. OVP has a good Assembly line of how to build their vans. CNC machines help and having a good team does as well. They have been in business for many years now so they were prepared to take that on
@@JarrodTocci Good to hear, I'm struggling with weight in my build...and jeans. Keep in mind all that fancy suspension DOES NOT change the GVWR rating. Axles, Tires, Brakes etc. all contribute to that GVWR limit. Airbags, shocks, sway bars, etc. all improve handling but the GVWR doesn't change.
7kw from alternator charging? That's running 2 alternators at ~583amps just for the battery regeneration. I'm highly skeptical on those numbers, but would love to see their setup.
1 alternator is for the van itself. The 2nd alternator is only for the power system in the van build and is much more powerful then the factory one, plus larger in size
@@JarrodTocci got it. On top of that you’d need so many dc to dc chargers it’s insane. Cool to see Cathedral Park featured. I take my dogs there all the time.
@@nicks-fix Volta uses a version of the WS500 programmable voltage regulator from WakeSpeed. It utilizes a shunt to be able accurately control charging current. I am using the WS500 on my 48volt system with 4-Tesla S modules in a 2P-2S configuration and the same alternator that Volta use from American Power System. It is capable of 160 amps at up to 56 volts, so the math does check out. 7KW and beyond is possible. I have my system set up more conservatively hoping for better reliability and longer life.
@@toomuchhair4553 thank you! I was trying to cobble together mechman alternators and Scotty dc to dc chargers for my system design. I’ll reach out to APS to see how that could work!!!
This van is in a category all by itself. Seems well-built, however I can't see ever feeling comfortable in this. I'm not a fan of overly-cutesy "Instagram-ready" vans that are comfy while not altogether very usable. This is the opposite - seems really usable - industrial. I suppose a bit of artwork or splashes of color would go a long way, though I'd still not like their fuel bill! I am building my van now, and putting in a similar Murphy bed. Hopefully I won't end up so sterile and overly efficient.
proprietary wiring...? something about that just really rubs me the wrong way. murphy beds can give you easy access to your electric and plumbing but they can't troubleshoot it themselves?
So you have a locked cabinet, that the owner of the van won’t have a key for? Guess that will happen if they cross the border and customs decides to search the van…
Love the videos but please buy some mics. The Rode or the DJI are cheapish and work great. Stick one on the subject and one on you. It'll fix your bad audio. Having the audio go up and down in volume as the subject leans down to show off the shower or your naration changing as you move the camera sucks. At the very least try to keep the audio consistent in post. Keep up the good tours.
Here’s the thing. I’ve done that. I’ve had mics all over the place. I’ve used wireless and shotgun and none. Honestly no matter what I do I get complaints so I stopped and did what was best for me. The audio is not that bad seriously. I edit everything myself and even listen to it on a phone after and it’s fine. So I don’t know what to tell you 🤷🏻♂️
A lot of people feel this way. However I believe it can be for everyone. The ones that are part of this lifestyle don’t care if someone has a $300k rig or a $10k rig. We are happy to be out and enjoy life. There’s also nothing wrong with having an RV. The only difference is in a van build we can custom more things. I personally believe the RV industry is 5-10 years behind van builds is all. Just as we are all behind the marine industry.
Locked proprietary access? What IP are you protecting and why? Is this a Google build? Also pleeze get with an interior designer. This build feels like a man designed it for a doctor's surgery suite.
The build-the-shower hidden shower is not to my liking. I’d rather have the full time shower at the back. The bed is nice. But I’m always wary when someone says #2’s don’t smell.
This is honestly why I watch van videos, but don't buy vans...the crash testing just isn't there. You cannot say that it's "close" to DOT approved because you have zero clue how the L track bolts will hold up. Plus, without a bulkhead that stops everything from flying at you, you just don't know. Same problem with busses and motorhomes, etc. I love the idea of traveling with my kids in an arrangement where they can have a table and do fun activities and see me well during the drive, but it just doesn't feel safe to me. Still, I watch the videos cause they're amazing for ideas for trailers. Just wish someone would sell one that's crash-tested. Never gonna happen, though. Too pricey, too much customization.
I'm sorry but for the price of these things for them to not have that much power to last for that long is kind of ridiculous you'd be much better off building your own to where you can put as much of a supply that you can fit as well as that would be great for whatever you plan on doing with it
@@JarrodTocci I like the ones where it's meant to run of mostly solar power to remain unplugged, that's what I mean they're better for mostly off grid.
@@beckycrump8831 what part of I'm speaking of not having to plug in to be provided energy do you not understand apparently? And they're being plenty of power I'm talking about off-grid
@@beckycrump8831 and let's be real you're just a weirdo that took this opportunity because you seen that this man decided to comment under my comment so because the comments are so small you decided you would say something so that you can be heard LMAO you're a funny one LOL
I don't get all the praise dor thus build. It doesn't flow well The broken up makeup of the floor would drive me nuts. The layout of the cabinets and countertops is choppy. It's too cluttered looking.
Guys, do you seriously think that by continuing to repeat things like big, huge pantry, massive loads of storage space, now stepping into the next room, etc, you are going to squeeze another millimeter out of those sardine cans? Either magical thinking or serious denial. Really. No need. Just be real.
Fantastic!!!!!! I think that is the best location ever for a shower!
I love this floor plan.
Love the St. John’s Bridge!
I recognize that bridge, I grew up in St Johns. Cool beans. I’d love to support my hometown economy so I’ll look up OVP when I’m ready for my truck conversion.
This guy builds the coolest stuff! Love their work.
Love this build, they do amazing work and I love that they use the Volta system. Thanks for another awesome video.
Brilliant as always 🌱
Down with OVP, yeah you know me!
This is the most innovative design on the internet!
His vans are soooo dope!! Thanks 😊 for sharing the tour, Jarrod.
🍁👵🇨🇦
That fridge though!!!!
I was jealous when I saw it!
@@JarrodTocci me as well
Awesome build.
An AMAZING amount of storage and that Murphy bed design is OFF the CHARTS "smart" !!!!!
Wow. What a toilet set up. Amazing.
Thirty years ago we used to joke about living in a van down by the river but now it's looking to be the only real option.
Nice layout
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Very impressive.
First time I see someone cut a hole in the floor as big as a hole for a roof vent fan. But it's great. Love it.
What an awesome build
Great van!
Another awesome build! I really like the screen in the rear.
Now that's what I want in my van. A hidden shower and a hidden toilet.
Wow!!!!

I just need a bathroom in my Honda Accord. DC rush hour can be crazy...
Awsome xx
Another awesome build by Dustin and the OVP crew! Keep up the great video work, Jarrod.
Thank you. Would still love to show off your company and all the cool products. Send an email when possible info@jarrodtocci.com
Awesem Van build!! Can i get some more infos about the shower and especially the magnetic curtain?
I think I linked their sites in the description. Maybe tourig is the shower curtain they used
Engineering this stuff is great, but I suggest he teams up with an interior designer to get the best of both worlds
Is it a hospital room? Trying to imagine camping in this. I think this convinced me I really prefer rustic and woodsy.
50 vans by the end of the year, did I hear that correctly? Does he have a will prepared?
Haha you sure did. OVP has a good Assembly line of how to build their vans. CNC machines help and having a good team does as well. They have been in business for many years now so they were prepared to take that on
Wow.wow.wow enjoyed your video jarod. Thank you. Wow.
JT! Love me some OVP vans! Whatever happened to the military truck they were working on?!
Why did you decide to have the shower head facing the seating area, rather than the outside??
There’s another shower in then rear outside
Beautiful...looks heavy though.
Comes in way under GVWR but also with that suspension upgrade it doesn’t matter too much
@@JarrodTocci Good to hear, I'm struggling with weight in my build...and jeans. Keep in mind all that fancy suspension DOES NOT change the GVWR rating. Axles, Tires, Brakes etc. all contribute to that GVWR limit. Airbags, shocks, sway bars, etc. all improve handling but the GVWR doesn't change.
Anyone know what material these cabinets are made out of? Obviously a furniture board of some kind. HPL perhaps?
Yes HPL which most pro builders will use
@@JarrodTocci sweet. I’ve been planning my build out with HPL.

48v? Wait until you see the Ford eTransit van from Winnebago with, I believe, a 400v AC unit.
Love this van. Wow. Can this build fit on a chevy. Same dize chasis and length. What is the price of this van . thank you.
I'd rent one in the SoCAL/LA market....... hint hint.......
The RUclips channel for Overland Van Project needs your help J updating their site so we can choose the best type for us.
Nice van!!! What kind of toilet?
Laveo dry flush
@@JarrodTocci thanks!
Um where can I get that shower pan?
We showed it. It’s cut into the floor
@@JarrodTocci that's not the question, I saw it in the video. Where can I buy it? I want to see specs of it'll work ony build.
@@vita-girl4345 my guess is he had a sheet metal shop fab the stainless shower pan.
Wash off the dog after it rolls in something. Yep, that’s funny.🤣
Beautiful cabinets. I dont like murphy beds. A stationary bed from twin to a queen size. Thank you.
So what about the air conditioner? he said the rig has one but it wasn't on the ceiling, did they mentioned it?

Vanlife becoming another lifestyle trend for the ritch. Why not just buy a ready made RV. Price gap is closing fast .
More discreet, easier to drive and park, cheaper, more customizability.
