    I'm Shaiden, the designer and builder behind Mothership, and I'm thrilled to take you on a comprehensive tour of this game-changing vehicle. I've refined the last 4 years of experience building/living in vans into a rig with features, and technology that is simply unmatched in this industry.
    In this video, we dive deep into the Mothership, showcasing its high-end amenities, innovative design, and robust power capabilities. The Mothership isn't like other van conversions; it's a powerhouse designed to fuel electric adventure toys like e-foils, electric dirt bikes, OneWheels, electric paramotors, and anything else you can imagine. Now, the wilderness is your playground, and you've got the power to explore it like never before.
    The Mothership is the epitome of luxury on wheels. Picture making your morning espresso while gazing at a serene mountain vista, choosing a bottle from your on-board wine cellar to toast a breathtaking sunset, or cooking a gourmet meal on a dual induction stove - wherever your adventures have taken you. Imagine stepping onto heated floors from a comforting indoor shower, or rinsing off under the stars with an outdoor shower. The conveniences of air compressors, exterior lighting, and security cameras are balanced by the reassurance of Starlink Internet keeping you connected no matter where you roam. With the Mothership, the possibilities truly are limitless. If you can dream it, odds are I can put it into your mothership.
    Join me as we explore every corner of this unique vehicle, demonstrating the attention to detail and innovative features that each Mothership embodies. These aren't mass-produced units - each Mothership is a limited print, tailor-made to meet the unique needs and dreams of our clients. No two Motherships are the same, making each one a masterpiece in its own right. We have new models currently being built, with the highest quality cnc's, waterjets, and finishes, all assembled by a team of craftsman with impeccable attention to detail.
    Interested in learning more about your own Mothership? check out my website or follow me on instagram!
    Thanks for joining me on this tour. The Mothership is ready for takeoff. Are you?

    I think the hydraulic beds are the only way to go. I absolutely love this build. The wood details are absolutely gorgeous and give the van so much character, making it look like a home. The only thing I would do is add a wall with a pocket door to separate the cab. I can picture how stunning that would look with the wood paneling.

Looking forward to more video's. You are the cutting edge. Every van must be like an artist canvas to you. Absolute quality and perfection. You hold a high standard to your work.

Looking at building one of these in several years and if you are still making them at the time I will look at designing one through you. Great job!

    Beautiful craftmanship. There is a significant - general - issue for vanlifers regarding life of their batteries that is commonly not discussed (esp. during this era when e-vehicles are so desired, and their lifecycle so questionable for the eco-footprint it leaves): the more electronic "treats" you have (lowering bed) the more usage/wear on your batteries (even with direct solar) and that will require replacement of the batteries sooner than a van that does not have so many electronic treats.
    This said, beautiful craftmanship, and design-flow, no doubt. And anyone would be lucky to own this :)

    Awesome build. One suggestion I have or maybe I'm not understanding fully is the venting from the power bench to the stove. Would it be better to vent that hot air outside the van? Or even make a vent that can switch to vent to outside or inside? If in warm weather you have the AC on, you can vent that hot air to outside and visa versa. 27:08

    Shaiden, you are at the forefront of custom van conversions. You seem to have most of the best features and highest power capacity before anyone else. I was hoping you would be the first to integrate an atmospheric water generator into a camper van. Have you tried? Was it impractical? I heard their foot print was relatively small. Your power system can easily handle one with plenty to spare. Please give us your thoughts on this.

    Even if those seatbelts allowed you to face forward, they would still be deadly. There’s a reason they require shoulder restraints. It’s because in a head on collision the seatbelt will cut your organs in half. I met a nurse who was in the front passenger seat in a commuter van for UCSF hospital on the top deck of the Nimitz freeway when it collapsed during the ‘89 quake in a oakland. the front of the van was crushed and her legs were pinned and she could not move but she had a shoulder belt. the driver was killed instantly, but some of the passengers in the back were still alive but all only had lap belts. she took very little chunks of concrete that ended up inside the van from the freeway and tossed them onto their faces, trying to keep them from passing out and going into shock. Unfortunately, she was the only one to survive, and when I met her several years after the quake, she had regained the ability to walk, although not perfectly. I suspect some of the passengers would’ve survived had they not been wearing those lap belts. Do not wear only lap belts. you’re better off with nothing. I’m pretty sure they still don’t put lap belts in the back of school buses for this very reason.
