I'm watching in January 2024. This guy's wood working is beautiful and functional. I have seen the newer videos and can see the upgrades. I would consider Matt for a build.
Watching this after seeing several of their newer builds was really fascinating. You can see the origins of many of the concepts they use today, though clearly it’s gotten more refined over the years. It actually made me feel even more comfortable about hiring them for our future (2022) build, knowing they’ve been building, tweaking, improving for that long. Also, this van was great!
This is why the Sprinter is so popular for a home away from home. Having the ability to walk thru from the front seats to the back is the winner for me. 👍👍👍👍😊
It always makes me wonder why people need to have bench seating and a separate bed. Why not have a day bed that can do both job without the hassle of putting away the bed every morning and setting it up at night?
ive seen over 100 of these and this is easily the best conversion ive ever seen. you pack a full kitchen and shower/toilet, also have a 2 person dinette set up and a cool bed conversion.
I agree. So many times you see the perfect build... Except! The shower has to be set up outside and attached to the van...or the toilet is just shoved into a cupboard or something weird like that. This one makes very few compromises. I would say the water storage is a little small at 20 gallons...I have seen smaller vans with double that capacity. The water heater is another. You have to have some serious power draw to heat up 4 gallons, and it is electric. By itself that is a plus, considering you don't have to worry about propane running out, or open flames in your highly flammable house. The downside is the power system is apparently not sufficient from the batteries/solar to power it. He does say that you can use it with the van running for around 45 minutes to heat it up. I would say that is an okay trade off. Lee Blake's van can output 30A loads, but again, his shower is outside lol. I think my perfect van would be lee blake's van, but with the vanity section converted into an indoor shower near the back.
one of the very best builds yet...ive been following van builds for a while now and man, this one has to be one of the very best...i personally would have just built the bed even higher up so that i could fit a small motorcycle/scooter in the trunk and/or bicycles without the need of an external rack
I have watched so many hours of van conversion videos and this is the best in every way. The garage has even room for a bike or two. Very very well done
Very nice. Like the shower curtain rail! Only observation, dark wood/finish seems to be popular in US RV,s . European ones use lighter finishes which make the interiors feel "larger and lighter!
Yeah I do like walnut, but when its everywhere like that it just makes it look dark and cramped. It like I must show hard wood luxury everywhere even if a plane white ceiling or wall would look and feel better.
Whoa. Super nice design. I've looked at a 100+ van build videos. Your's is definitely among the top 3. Just bought my Sprinter and will refer to your video for inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
Holy crap !!! Nice job... LOVE the bed, I've watched a ton of conversions but NEVER seen a bed slide out and over w/a table pull out. :o My fave so far ... AWESOME !!!
I feel it is even more than clever and functional, it's also a bit historical as the table pulled out of under the bed is very classical of sheep wagons from the late 19th century. But under a sliding bed, for sure it's a smart modern combo.
That's funny, you also did a good job with classical use of US wood + the use of white textile on the roof... so I thought it was in purpose. I guess you were in the spirit and the idea naturally came to you as it came to your ancestors. :) Maybe would it make you come with a completely inspired and revisited sheep wagon / modern rv ? If so I would enjoy to see the result cause you look like having golden hands, really you did an amazing job there. This one isn't 100% traditional but it shows well the sliding table : www.doityourselfrv.com/classic-sheep-wagon-rv
These guys do a great job replicating traditional wagons : ruclips.net/video/I0m6MpjFvS8/видео.html Their daughter and her boyfriend made their own wagon and it's been filmed for a TV show called "Tiny House, Big Living". It's the season 4 episode 3. I can't find the stream from France maybe could you. The interesting thing is her father shows them exactly how the table sliding system is traditionally done (and many other things).
That van is some of the best I have seen so far ,,, and I have seen a lot of selv made vans on RUclips ,, thanks all the bay from Denmark in eu 👍👍😊😊😊😊😊
Yep, this is the layout I've been looking for. As a carpenter I will build it myself. As for some things I will need to buy, I've bookmarked your site and subscribed for more ideas Thank you
This is one Awesome conversion, it got everthing on it including bathroom shower, kitchen fridge, lounge with pull out tables and an expandable bed, and what else? its got a solar ! I wonder if this is a year round van or mostly for warmer weather.
Matt, yours is a VERY nice build! In fact, one of the best I've seen in a long time! But, I have a question: why would you install an electrical outlet in the SHOWER??? ...last 'I' heard water and electricity (be it A/C 'or' D/C) don't get along at all! Overall, I would hire you to build the same Class B van for me! I noticed your Colorado license plates. I lived in Denver (Westminster) back in the early 70's. It's very sad that Colorado is nothing NOW like it was back then. Back then it was like 'heaven on earth'... people cared about each other, very little traffic, very few freeways, and, so much more. Definitely not that way now! Travel safe, be happy, and, God Bless! (6/7/2018 Thursday 5:01amCST Houston, Texas)
I agree with the other comments very much, only one thing cought my eye negatively. You have a 210V outlet in your shower, that's illegal where I live, else awesome build.
This is a great van build. Well thought out. Layout is super useful and functional. I love it! I follow all the usual van lifers (Create Wondr, Barefoot Theory, Indie Projects, Dylan Magaster etc) and your build is awesome. I have a better idea for a bathroom build but you definitely top the storage and bed designs. Well done 👍😃👏

Have to say that's probably one of the best fitted out vans I've seen for some time.
This is why the Sprinter is so popular for a home away from home. Having the ability to walk thru from the front seats to the back is the winner for me. 👍👍👍👍😊
this is one of the best build outs I've seen, and I've watched dozens apon dozens over the years, you're got great features with this van, GREAT JOB!
Incredible work Matt North. I’m looking to live the van lifestyle
I thought the exact same thing; a really really good conversion with good use of the space and you have everything you need!
It always makes me wonder why people need to have bench seating and a separate bed. Why not have a day bed that can do both job without the hassle of putting away the bed every morning and setting it up at night?
agreed, beautiful design and build
ive seen over 100 of these and this is easily the best conversion ive ever seen. you pack a full kitchen and shower/toilet, also have a 2 person dinette set up and a cool bed conversion.
The bed pull out feature is the best that I have ever seen. 👍
Check out the updated version. >> ruclips.net/video/KKME42qpoVg/видео.html
Nice layout
That's wtf I'm talking about! So many builds have severe compromises. This van has everything you need and still plenty of space. I love it!

I was trying not to be repetitive, but I have to continue with the flow. It is fenomenal!!!
Like everyone else is saying. Amazing! The design solutions here are among the best. The way the bed folds in just genius!
Very nice job
One of the best van ever for me, i love the features and set up. Great job!
Best designed shower I’ve seen ! Well done!!!!
I have watched so many hours of van conversion videos and this is the best in every way. The garage has even room for a bike or two. Very very well done
Really well built. You must feel really proud
Very nice. Like the shower curtain rail! Only observation, dark wood/finish seems to be popular in US RV,s . European ones use lighter finishes which make the interiors feel "larger and lighter!

Beautiful and comfortable.
Hands down best conversion!
I think this might be the best sprinter van build outs that I’ve seen.
Lots of sharp corners and angles to snag yourself on. Feels like some wasted storage space under bed. Love 26 gal tank
Nice shower setup
Very nice van
One of the best design n facilities I've seen. Love it.
My jaw was hanging down, until I caught myself and just smiled. I've seen dozens of videos on this... Ace, job. Guys. Really great.
Holy crap !!! Nice job... LOVE the bed, I've watched a ton of conversions but NEVER seen a bed slide out and over w/a table pull out. :o My fave so far ... AWESOME !!!

Really like your bed idea, haven't seen anything like that before
I love this one. I think this is it!
You have done an excellent job. I really like the layout and all of the storage. This is much better than many commercially made vans.
Best bed option I've seen. Nice job!
One of the best custom Vans ever I seen! BRAVO. Very clever and comfort done!
Amazing build. I’m just blown away!
best build i have ever seen
Nicely done! I didn’t know a range top could be fueled by diesel. No propane!!
Outstanding conversion. Lots of great features. Happy travels.
This is the best adapted Mercedes Van house inn I ever have seen. The most useful adaptation very nice awesome JOB!!!!!!!!!!!

I like a lot of the design and functional ideas, you should definitely start your own business and if I could I would have you to build mine!!
Matt North does Titan Vans have their own YT page? Website?
I have to agree. One of the best. Wow!!!
WOW !!! verry nice build !!!
Nice build mate, very well thought out. Thanks for the tour - Peter V.
Of all you have built I like this one the best great job

One of the best builds I have seen too! Wow! Wanna build my own now :) Great job indeed!
This is one Awesome conversion, it got everthing on it including bathroom shower, kitchen fridge, lounge with pull out tables and an expandable bed, and what else? its got a solar ! I wonder if this is a year round van or mostly for warmer weather.
Year round. The Webasto heater keeps it nice and toasty in the winter.
Excellent!! Well thought out. Made me rethink van conversions.
Dang dude-BEAUTIFUL work!!!----add some color it's good for the spirit.
Matt, yours is a VERY nice build! In fact, one of the best I've seen in a long time!

I agree with the other comments very much, only one thing cought my eye negatively. You have a 210V outlet in your shower, that's illegal where I live, else awesome build.
