  • I get excited when I get to tour high end vans, but what's also nice is when we get ideas from high end vans that we can do too! Check out Terra X as they as some of the best builders I've seen.

    Always love when I get the chance to check out pro builders. Terra X knows what they are doing for sure and look forward to following up with them in the future. If you want to see more tours check the playlist below. I also have vlogs for information on vanlife and vlogs of day to day. Lastly my entire last van build I made a series for too.

    The lift up countertop to access the huge fridge and freezer is one of the most ingenious ideas I have ever seen! And ive watched a LOT of van/bus/car builds. Absolutely amazing! I would *need* a freezer for myself, and so many builds don't have one or one that can only fit ice. That is such a *luxury* in these homes. Amazing!!!

      @sillytorque Před rokem

      They will make a van however you want......We never used our shower so the next won't have one...... it depends on how you use the van, for us we use the van as a weekend getaway and annual summer holidays, we aren't living in it. We will have a night here and there at a "informal camp" but we will then have a few nights at a proper camping, so we can shower then. It adds cost, takes a lot of space, and showering in a van or caravan is rubbish.....

    Love it. Sadly your guests couldn't explain their ideas because you know everything they did. So, they became redundant, although if you're reviewing something that is not your project with the owners and creators, they should have, let's say, some 80 to 90 percent of the time rather on you taking over everything before they did. I could tell they would have been amazing explaining their own project.

      My goodness... You're not wrong and you're not right (including all of you who have hit thumbs up). Different people have different styles. Jarrod is over the top excited and talking over others is a part of that. If you don't like it, if it's not your preference, if it rubs you the wrong way, don't watch. Some people are here because they like his excitement. He's gotten your kind of message many times over from many people and hasn't changed probably because he doesn't want to. His choice.

      Totally thought the same thing, as an Austrian/German-American. I remember my father dropping our ceiling to save energy on heating/cooling in our very long living room. One end was 1/8 inch lower than the other, which was completely not noticeable. He took the whole thing down and redid it until it was perfect. It's in our genetic structure.

    Can't wait to see more van builds in the new AWD Transits. The two main drawbacks with the Mercedes is they are extremely expensive to work on, and that's only if you can find a mechanic who is certified to work on them. Ford has way more dealerships nationwide than Mercedes does. This is still a pretty cool van build, though.

Flipping from color to black and white is not effective in showing/telling your story either. It’s all very distracting.

      They wanted counter top space. Most van builds have like 7ft of countertop space, which is more than a studio apartment. If im not mistaken the cargo area of a sprinter 170 is 14 or 16ft long. That means they used almost half of their build on countertops. The side with the stove was like 5ft and the bed was probaly 6ft.

    i would like to see a { FAN OUT } sys above the stove so when a person cooks the smoke/heat from the cooking can be taken out of the van. i know it’s gonna add to the build but i think it’s needed. should make it so it can run off dual power , electric or solar. i was really impressed with the the location of the cooler , fantastic.

    Oh I saw their awesome home van the other day!

    They are obviously very handy, they should take the skylight LED's out and replace them, and maybe even add a dimmer to it. Modifying it would be an easy enough job for them imo. Having every little detail custom-designed and so many parts hand made it only makes sense to not leave this one thing that they both don't like as is.

    Hey, I love your van built and I'd definitely want to get one built with your guys. Hopefully, that'll happen soon :D. Could you help me with the link or the name of the projector that you are using? That would be of great help. Thank you.
