The cook top limitation is ingenious along with the perfect explanation of why to omit it. I like that, it’s different.
This is truly a beautiful van build! Love the wood!❤
Thank you!
Beautiful design & decor. Great job.
Thank you for the exterior shore power idea. Now I know where to put mine.
As always, an impressive build! Nicely done!
Thank you!
I think it’s a beautiful build love the white oak ceiling and the use throughout the van the green is a nice accent color like how you used it on rear doors I thought that was a nice touch. Every inch of that van is creative and beautiful great job
Thank you! We definitely appreciate the nice words. We work very hard on these vans and yes the white oak turned out amazing!
Really nice and cozy van! Luv it !!!
Thank you!
I love your tiny home ❤
Very nice!!
Thank you!
I have noticed more vans getting toilets, but not cassett or composting. I like the urine storage idea. Great build as alwsys
Thank you!
Very Nice build. I’m anxiously awaiting to see if you will ever have a van build without a shower. It will be intersecting to see what creative ideas you would have with the additional space freed up from eliminating the shower.
Thank you! We have actually done 3 without a shower, and we are working on another one now. You can see tours on our channel and pictures at customcraftedvans.com
O banheiro deveria ter sido colocado na entrada, para dar mais sensação de espaço
😍 masya Allah.. I wish I could have it one..☺️
Do your separating toilets come with a fan?
Great looking van. How do you prevent shower water from flowing across the horizontal potty surface in to the blue separette basin?
We recommend clients take the shower head off the holder and do a hand held shower so you minimize splashing. Also it’s key to wipe the shower down when you’re done 😊
How much did it cost all in including the price of the sprinter.
Nice build, but I would rather see more rounded edges everywhere (cabinets, toilette, overhead cabinets…). Too many pointy ends for a clumsy like myself.
I have a black tank in my bvan and my wife and i have used it so many times. Sometimes I go in to the bathroom at the rest area to save tank space (its 10 gallons) but my wife always uses the toilet in the van for poopoo.
Hi I have been watching your videos. The Sprinter van as we see it, what is the est. cost for one like this. Thank you. I see you are almost booked for 2024👍
How much does a build like this go for?
are awning windows possible on these vans? don't see any windows that open on the sides of the vans
Yes they are possible. This van was custom to the clients requests.
That is a very nice van. Two thumbs up 👍.
Thank you!
I love everything about it except the toilet. How much is this van?
🐐🐐🐐
You guys always
Exceed my expectations 💪
Thank you!
So far the best I've seen ❤
Thank you! We appreciate that a lot
What would something like this cost all in?
Cool! 👍🏼😎 But I’m curious about your taking off the “plastic panels” then a moment later saying it prevents rust. Does plastic rust? 😊
Behind the plastic panels is a spot sprinters are known to rust
@@SaraandAlexJames - Great, but I’m still lost on how the coating prevents rust on the metal behind them? The only thing I can think of is if you coated them too?
Yes we coat the panels and behind the panels@@Erin-Thor
@@SaraandAlexJames - Wonderful!
How much did this build cost? Are the owners getting a separate loan for the van itself and then another for the build cost or are you able to wrap them together? I am wondering how so many folks make it affordable because i definitely wsnt to do one
Most of our clients pay for the van and build out in cash. We have had a couple recently that used RV financing for the build out. Most of our builds are in the $100-200k range - obviously a large range but it really depends on materials and extra features
@SaraandAlexJames When you say RV financing, are they wrapping the van purchase cost and build into one loan, or financing the build separately? I am trying to create a way to build a dream van but don't exactly have the cash on hand although I can afford the financing
Light bars and most extra lights are illegal for non-off-road use in CA
You are correct. These amber running lights are legal. 👍🏼
Is it true that a new Sprinter outfitted like that could be around $300K USD?
Yes for a quality build. Some are VERY overpriced in our opinion for the features they include.
Similar to many vans. Clean build. Do not like toilet.
Yes a lot of builders started building our layouts. Toilets are whatever the client chooses 👍🏻
By accident I talked to a guy with one he said the Mercedes part great the rest was a disaster he said it's been a mess selling it 170 000 rig was a mess!!!
There are definitely some not great (honestly scary) builders out there. Covid made the industry boom and a lot of people started building vans for the money, without really caring about how the van functioned or looked. We’ve seen some REALLY bad ones. It’s sad how much some paid for terrible builds.
Nice build but not that different to many others I have seen.
Thank you I was going to say the same. Layout is pretty standard
Where's the garage?😊
Not everyone needs one 😁
for some reason, it was hard to understand what you were saying, maybe it was your tone, which would go down and quiet, and also sometimes you would run your words together or maybe just talking fast without a breath. However, it was fun seeing the van.
Nice van, but couldn’t watch past half way. What’s with the subtitles, etc?
Owl refuses to publish any weight capacities of their products so watch out for voiding warranty on rear door hinges
These are all Aluminess products and they do publish their weight. Also we always track GVW on our builds. This one came in a couple hundred pounds under GVW
Yeah , I just lost it all .
It’s kind of sad to see that there are not a lot of floorplans suitable for tall people.
We have designed vans with longer beds for clients 6’2”.
Nice setup. Just remember that as soon as you start 'building' in a van, it looses its flexibility of being a multi-purpose vehicle. For example, most van-lifers with built up vans cannot carry any large items ... say, as a way to make money.... as there is no room.
- This is why you see vans that have fold-down or removable seats in them... to keep them multi-purpose.
I don’t know what stain/finish you put on the white oak but it looks in your video to have hidden rather than enhanced the distinct grain inherent in white oak, medullary rays. Instead of claiming it is beautiful how about showing a close up so this skeptic can decide for himself. So far I’m saying no to this finish. Sadly, 99%+ of cabinetmakers today hide the beauty of the wood with their stain/finish choices
Clicking when showing text is an annoying first in my experience
too many playing with video effects i broke my eyes (((( jumped few times expecting i can watch pure video then but it is not til the end. closing will not watch longer and i remove my like back
😂😂 totally understand. Thank you for the feedback. We are working with a new editor and we are with you. Working on revamping things to be simple.
Videography 101. Show or tell but don’t do both
I fully agree. Beautiful build but the video jumping was hard on me.
매우매우 마음에 들게 만들었습니다 그러나 슬픔니다 한국에는 없는차 이니까요 설령 있다 하더라도 수입업자들이 폭리를 취하니깐요 직접한국에서 판매했음 희망해봅니다
Why do you even need an editor on an informative video. Can’t watch for even 1 minute lol
Too much talking instead of showing. I’m bored and gone
Lmao are you serious? Less than 30sec into the video and they're showing the interior
My RV is way nicer than this
Your craftsmanship is always first quality 👍
Thank you! That means a lot to us 😊
