George, do you believe this is worth $300,000?

I'm 6.2 "tall and I've always wondered why a camper van has to be in a sprinter that's narrow and curved at the top. Plus we have to suffer around isolating all the holes in the chassis and not very efficiently. Why doesn't anyone just use a B box .Everything I have imagined and thought about solving this problem you have already perfectly done it. Honestly. I think this is going to be revolutionary and I wish you much success in sales. Also, the idea of the possibility of dismantling the complete living space is great. I am in the bee business and using the chassis for the purpose of transporting the bees and for housing is great.

Well the B Box is not a van, it's a truck. Class B's are built with vans but Class C's are built with trucks and that's what they did here with the B Box... They just kept the footprint similar to a camper van, which is the impressive part as Class C's are typically bigger and bridge the gap between Class B's and Class A's...

This is an amazing concept. I love the fact that it''s the same footprint as the regular 170, but offers more interior layout flexibility, especially side to side sleeping which really opens it up. This is truly the ideal RV for my tastes. Just when I thought you guys had reached the pinnacle, you go and take it to the next level. The only change I'd make would be painting the coach body to match the chassis cab. Other than that small nitpick, this design is perfection. I want one!

The box design is also far better insulated than a van body can be, which makes for a much more comfortable space.

The more often i see these B-Box videos the more i like it. Your vans are so beautiful, that i can't quite depart from them. As this project B-Box grows, its ever more enticing, though its interior must be even more beautiful than the vans. The Tardis quality in the vans is magical, as though to induce another state of being. Bespoken elegance in several of them. So the B-Box has to surpass this & am waiting for the one Imaginer to go there in their design. Thus far the B-Box interiors are more practical. Waiting for the elevated aesthetics to emerge, which can include the charming elements of the vans. Your vans are just too beautiful, so the competition is tough. Proud of y'all, each with their creative brilliance contributing.

This design has so many breakthroughs! Wow! Congratulations for the brilliant creativity shown by the whole team. Very inspiring... and tempting!

Love this solution! Much better than working within the confines of a normal van. Good straight corners and more space! Love to see how you continue to evolve this concept!

I love this! i'm 6'7" tall, and have stayed away from sprinters and the like because of my height. So glad for this often overlooked height capacity for vehicles of this size. One thing I did no hear mentioned was PV solar add-on capacity. With the large, flat roof, I'd love to know how solar would be considered.

I still see those jacks hanging down so clearance is less than 9 in.

Sounds like the best of van lifers vans in 1 van

I am absolutely in love with the B Box! You fella's are off the charts with innovations! Bravo!

Love it! More “trucky” and love the extra insulation as I live in Canada.

I just love this ! Can't wait to get mine. Did I hear you say you can do this on a 144" wheel base? Would love to see this..Love your work!!

This box design is the best! Love the way your company produce the design according to the customers need! Really hope we can have you in Asia, coz Asians loves customizations vehicles 🥰😍

I'VE BUILT THIS! By converting an Australian spec Box Ambulance on a cab chassis, stripping the interior right back to the aluminium skinned insulated walls and fibreglass floor. Mine will be a lot lighter, and the rear door opens right up to turn the interior into a fully fly screened balcony ! Advanced RV is next level though. wish I had access to their machine shop! Awesome design.

This is such a brilliant build. I've been looking at ways of incorporating passive house design principles into a van build with a box, and you've done almost exactly that. I've converted a MWB Sprinter here in the UK for myself and have been designing a chassis cab/box system for my new van. If you don't mind me asking, how does the fuel ecomony differ between van and box and how much did the Aerodyne components help?

It looks and sounds fantastic, could we have an idea of the cost please? I know there is a lot of customisation possible but a start figure for the build that you showed would give everyone an indication of cost.

First of all I was completely blown away with this video! I am a 38 year retired OTR truck driver, 69 years old, having retired in 2015. So, it’s safe to say I was born with nomadic blood! I am about to embark on living full time on the open road very soon hopefully. My first choice of vehicle was the Promaster 159, being completely stealth, no windows, etc. but with as much solar on the roof as possible and with as many ‘goodies’ on the inside as I could get. I soon found very quickly that private builders were so backed up [and still are] that I’d given up on that idea because I’ve waited six years to hit the road again and I don’t want to wait any longer than necessary. So my next choice was the Pleasureway Lexor on the Promaster platform. So, here I am waiting for my settlement to finalize, definitely decided on the Pleasureway, and, then I find THIS video! I’ve watched many box van videos in these six years but YOURS have made me want to change my choice ‘again’! First question: can you duplicate the van in this video with a Promaster instead of the Mercedes Sprinter cab? I don’t want a Diesel engine/rig as Mercedes repair shops are somewhat limited and then comes the repair costs and fuel purchasing cost as well. I’m sure I’ll have more questions later! I will save this video snd am quite sure I’ll be watching it more and more! Y’all’s professional manufacturing is really twisting my arm to say the least! I’ll be in touch! ~Jim~ m.kzread.info/dron/qpvOHDnbJ_Ky-Ce4z-Ntzw.html
