Do a collab, but instead of building a van, work on an u-haul or ambo so you have more interior square foortage to play with your design. Just a suggestion. Then, maybe the bathroom / shower won't have to be so crammed. lol

getting 7 miles per gallon is a great way to go broke in this game

At 7:52 he says it's not squatting, referring to the van. At that moment a man in the background proceeds to squat. LOL.

Looking forward to the Murphy bed van tour

“Ol’ Scooter” in East Texas see…COLLABORATE, COLLABORATE, COLLABORATE!! I’d love to see the Scout!

I love the exterior color and the add on's. The inside of this one isn't bad but not my favorite.

Very nice build!! Happy new year!! Thank you for sharing!!😊❤

amazing vans. wondering about the impact of having all that weight attached to the exterior of the van doors after 1000's of miles . . . would be interesting to see how the door hardware hold up.

@JarrodTocci

4 ай бұрын

Good question and the factory does give specs on how much weight can be bolted onto doors. Now over time is a different story. I hope they hold up over the years but only time will tell, however I do have more faith in Mercedes than other van companies.

Collaborate. Twin beds, dual alternator, 1000Ah so it can power an Incinolet. Bump it up to the 170, and add a tall stacked freezer/fridge/convection microwave.

Haha that is overkill but I like where your head is at

I like the stealthy nature of this van. I would like to see you build on chassis other than Mercedes. Yes, a collaboration would be cool, as long as you guys shoot a video of it.

Happy New Year Jarrod 🎉. Love your videos.

I challenge you to make a desktop gamer friendly build you could live full time in

@JarrodTocci

5 ай бұрын

Tbh it’s not hard to do that. Need a large enough power bank and set up a desktop. Reason people won’t do that as a spec build is because the percentage of van gamers are very low. Very cool style of build but also not practical

Collab yes. i would like to see the Scout version since we've already seen style. Does Sandy Vans build on any other chassis, specifically the Ford Transit? BTY for the land lubbers out there, the way I learned Port and Starboard was Port and Left both have 4 letters, Starboard and Right do not. great vid great van.

Collab coming!! As far as I know they do sprinter 144’s with the 170 coming soon. They have plans to build on all chassis in the future but they are still in “start up” mode so growth will come in time

Very nice, although door pulls with open ends should be a no-no. You can get your pants pocket snagged in them.

Haven't watched the video yet, but just glancing at the thumbnail, I noticed yet another van-life chess board set up incorrectly: Each player's LEFT rook should be on a DARK square, or "Right on light" is an easy way to remember. And... I have no idea why I'm single 😂

Nice van. Insulation? Head? Havelock or Rockwool? Insulated floors?

@JarrodTocci

Yes insulated floors, rest of van I believe they use thinsulate but better question for them. Assuming you mean toilet as head and yes their builds have toilets that are typically cassette style

Damn that price is crazy good. Sign me up

LOVE IT!!!!! Very nice work I need some more money 😂 Definitely do to collaborate and donate it (to me hopefully)

I just got the collab. What’s the outcome of that supposed to be? For sale or Jarrod’s house??

didnt the guy in the movie also have wheels?

Nice. Where's the mattress?

@JarrodTocci

5 ай бұрын

Mattress are the cushions already there. This type of van is designed that way and it’s easy to put a sheet over before bed or you can also do the sleeping bag thing if only going for a few days. Many ways to make it work

Interesting video but you need a better camera and/or lighting as it was hard to see anything.

Nice Build , Almost stealth , Acceptable quality , The affordability is questionable / Subjective especially for a weekender. I LLike it a LLlot . When I heard it had a diesel heater I figured that was a smart move on saving $$ Both on installation and overall cost of equipment/ Maintenance / operation. I think radiant is way overrated Dollar for Dollar. I also think all vans anywhere close to this price range should have a decent comfortable means of toileting and showering. It brings value and broadens your customer base. Obviously the customer had control over that with this build. I also like the DC water heater, they have come a long ways . I think the targeted customers you guys are aiming for like this type of design which seems very focused on aesthetics rather than being practical. The booth box is practical but scream's vanlife. The ladder is great both in its quality and design, yet it is another vanlife flag. I like the bike rack but would rather have my Surron in a garage (inside the vehicle). Silly spot for a spigot / faucet . The lower cabinets are perfect with numerous drawers for keeping stuff organized. Nice spacious counter tops. The hide away sinks are also a better option. I think the both of you guys would definitely compliment each other on a build. I would treat my builds like an investment rather than a luxury . Whereas you are building them specific to a customers I understand your "Niche" approach. That being said, How about allotting a space big enough for a " Bathroom" area that could be used for an alternative storage area when offering layout options ? Just an Idea . You guys are fortunate to be surrounded by an abundance of talent and resources. There is an actual need out there for lower end , livable rigs that would also be profitable to the builder. I also think the CNC equipment is a game changer when applied to this business. Look into HDEP color core . Love watching your informative videos. Long time subscriber from Maine

Plastered all over their website but I believe they start at 140k (including van) and go up to 189k

Why do people get a sink but not a shower/restroom? They get cabinets and a sink but not a place we all use 80% of in homes. 10% of living is done in a kitchen. They make a kitchen 80% of the build. Then no one uses the cabinets to its full potential. They end up having space as well as not using them all. You need space to put things in. How long are you going to be in the van? If living in it why not down size. It's a van. And yes bedroom is first second is restroom. Then third living area/dinner area. Then the kitchen.

The indoor lighting setup is not good for a YT creator. Looks like poor quality led strips that dont have the full light spectrum. That is why the camera acted up. I was really hoping you would just open everything up and let the natural light in ☺️

I know that this may be off topic but how can you knowingly want to NOT advertise to 1/2 of the population. And he knew it when he dropped the stripper comment. Just saying - I’d spend my money with a company that respects females and I am sure I’m not the only female that feels this way. Like evolve already.

I’m a woman and I didn’t find it offensive at all, just like I didn’t find the reference to LT. Dan offensive. So maybe she should lighten up and get a sense of humor. I’ll help her out and give her, her first stripper name…Eileen Sideways.
