Must-see Luxury Sprinter with EVERYTHING! | Van Tour

Tour a luxury Sprinter 170 Extended that was exquisitely designed. This van has almost every high-end option available. And, while most people can’t or don’t want to invest quite this much in their van, if you want to see all the high-end options all in one place, so you can pick and choose what you would like to incorporate into your build, check this van out.
This video was filmed in August, 2022 at Descend on Bend. There is a lot of happy background noise in the outdoor scenes. Turn on Closed Captions if you have trouble hearing these sections.

Here at TheGalavan I feature vans, primarily designed and built by women (but sometimes by very talented men 😉), to give you inspiration for your own van build. I’m always on the lookout for other van life enthusiasts who want to collaborate and share their love of this lifestyle. I also love to cook from scratch in my van and share accessories, tips, and tricks to make van life easier and more successful for you.

Love the happy hour table/ max tracks!

[@RVingwithG]

Chad is a great designer 😮😮

[@wanderingoutyonder]

Very cool! We love to see what others do with their van! We did the NO BUILD approach to enable us the opportunity to change things up as we need. Happy Travels! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY

[@lawsonmadden4635]

What a great design. The practicality that Chad designed in was great but I also really enjoyed the imaginative side that added the Grateful Dead logos. Subtle but adding a touch of whimsy that truly reflected Chad. Thank you.

Great looking van. Quality design and execution does not come cheap. Really love that Isotherm Cruise 200 fridge.

[@ExieB]

It is beautiful, very neat and organized. He is a phenomenal designer. Thanks for the video. Exie

That's an amazing custom rig! It doesn't have to appeal to everyone. That's what a "custom" build is. I'd do almost everything the same for my own setup, except I'd go with the AWD Transit chassis just because it's more common and easier to get serviced.

[@naomidonovan-perry2667]

Super nice layout!

[@Piperdreams]

Wow It’s a really pragmatic, spacious and functional rig to meet all his needs! With great whistles and bells to enjoy. Personalising it with Althea - Grateful Dead that’s so cool, not seen that done before.

[@RVingwithG]

Great van great guy. 👍👋

[@tony-kj5mc]

Nice ride .

[@ernestoquintero747]

I see I'm not the only one who saw wasted space above hanging clothes and had clothes hanger is mounted near the top of wardrobe. Smart packing is my obsession, even thought I have larger Sprinter based Class C I try to maximize every storage space.

So Nice !!! 😁
