Great video, great ideas! Open concept layouts are really needed. With bug screens, you can still feel like you are outdoors even when resting inside the van.
I like the idea of keeping the van feeling open. However, the lack of a wide sofa type seating area is a big negative. In this layout there’s no place to lounge about in the van. In my 144 sprinter I have a sofa type seat similar to your Helix layout which is my favorite place to sit and relax while looking out the sliding door. I also enjoy looking out the door while I cook so having the galley on the opposite side of the door is another negative. Feeling open is not about what it feels like looking into the van but what it feels like when you’re lounging in the van looking out. In the syncline you just can’t lounge about the seating area is too small.
Good job and best of luck in competing in the turnkey ready to go van market. I have a Murphy bed in my van and i love it. It allows me to put the bed up and use my van to haul large objects (dry wall, plywood, furniture , etc) I like the shower set up as well. every person has unique needs so hopefully this layout is popular enough with part of the market to be successful.
Love the attention to detail on this van!!! I think Scott from go small live large, understated his A+, in build quality. To see how you guys use strain reliefs on the plumbing 90’s to leaving access to the plumbing lines going under the floor, and probably the most impressive thing I noticed was how straight and clean the lap sealant looked on the roof vent fan!!! That kind of attention to detail, on a production van, is high quality!!! Kudos to you guys for your hard work, innovative ideas and true craftsmanship!!!! Can’t wait to see one in person!! One thing I would like to see would be scene lights on the driver’s side too. It would help with hook ups at night and dumping. I did have a question though. Would your custom shop be able to augment a syncline, after purchase, or do they only focus on full buildouts?
Thank you for the kind words! Depending on what the ask is, we could do an upfit on Syncline. At a certain point it might make more sense to consider a full custom build. Feel free to call us to chat more about options! (800) 971-8830
Not the Phil Lesh of vans! I'd cheery pick the parts of production vans I like, & modify them for a custom van. For the money, I'm not buying somebody else's vision! If I only won the lotto!
So many things to like about this van. Appears to be very good craftsmanship. But, we need a true bathroom with a real black tank. The cassette or dry flush toilets are just not good. They are difficult to empty and simply gross. Put the black tank in! Airstream is doing it in the 144.

Totally agree!

Beautiful and well executed. Great job.

Nice
Awesome van design. 👍🏻Go Small Live Large got me here. Definitely on my list of choices when I ready to purchase.

What is the reason for no windows in the back?
It provides more storage options. We have Molle panels on the inside of the rear doors for storing gear!

I kindly disagree
Laveo dry flush best possible.
