Super clean looking build, love it
Also a great job on the presentation.
Hmmmm so cool!!!! I so would love this so I can just take off to camp and even travel out of winter weather!
Beautiful build! Lots of simplicity and theres room for composting toilet!! Extra solar generators would easily fit under bed. Congratulations!
Great value solutions here!

Would I like an integrated AC unit, bathroom with shower and all the bells and whistles? Yes. But I have other things I would like to do with my retirement. I know my skill set does not include the DIY needed to convert my own. I know if I plan my travel route to the four seasons, I can be comfortable with this set up. Butane tabletop stoves work well for us (even indoors) when we go tent camping (get the Japanese or Korean models at the Asian markets) as well as our iCamper ISO fuel disc. Might even find space to add a portable Traeger grill. Wish you would include mounting for marine swivel table. But this is a viable, affordable option to get us out on the road. Glad your design has such a spacious dedicated sleep deck. some vans make it a project to set up a bed for an after-trail, afternoon nap. Good sleep is underrated.

Yes the Yeti is Lithium NMC as opposed to LiFePo but still is a great power. Easy enough for consumers to swap to another option if they prefer as everything is plug and play.
Very impressive kit, I love the no bathroom/shower inside. I also like the Yeti power station so it is easy to take in and out. I would use my van for long weekends chasing powder in the winter and hiking from trailheads the rest of the year. I think your kit is the best one I have found for my needs. Just need to get moving on finding the right van for the build.

Baltic Birch, Isotherm, oil/wax finish - quality seems to jump out at one. Very impressive option with only a few details to personalize (toilet, shower, install vs. portable frig).
Nice job guys and girl
I would love to get a kit like this, except my number one must have is a hydraulic bed. I want a big couch/sitting area under the bed during the day. I also want a shower, but it looks like I could forego some of the cabinets to make room for a small shower. I will keep my eye on your company to see if you come out with a kit with a hydraulic bed.

Its designed for the bed to be slid back and used as a solo bed. It could be done as you suggest but the retaining tabs would need to be secured as the physical stop is welded only on the rear of the bed rails.
it would be nice if you did a part 1 and 2 order for the full dyi kit so you dont have to spend so much at once. for example part 1 would be the flooring, panels and pluming. and part 2 would been the bed, bed frame cabinets and so on.

Great looking build. Do the optional add-on features like the windows and the heater have to be installed at the same time as the rest of the standard build, or can they be added later? Also, do you have any relationships with dealers to help source a van?
@TitanVans
23 күн бұрын
We can absolutely help you source a van! Features like windows are typically installed towards the beginning of the build, for a few reasons, so these would not be able to be added after the fact. Items like Webasto heaters and Maxxair fans are much easier to integrate into a finished build. Feel free to contact us or the team at Timbervankits if you need more information!
It doesn’t make sense to put the heater’s hot air outlet right next to the sliding door. Well if you’re stuck and you’re freezing to death you will want to drain your tank rather than die with a quarter of a tank left
Is it a problem if the Ford Transit has a dealer AC unit more mid roof than where you put a fan? Also, is there a desk mode for eating or remote work?
@TitanVans

The Timber is currently not compatible with mid roof vans or with vans with rear AC units. Fans if already installed are easy to work around and move paneling cut outs if needed. Marine tables/Lagun tables can be added with front swivel seats to create a work/eating area.
You don’t need to eliminate doors to cabinets. Just use sliding panels for doors. BTW, your small cabinet doors under bed have the same swing out problem

Hi, I love your conversions, but I don't see the packages at under $25K on your website. Please clarify.
Curious if any worry about having a pump located above water source has been and is sure or thought about. At least in IT having the pump as close to level to a reservoir if not slightly gravity fed has always provided ideal. I know air in pump isn’t as much a worry but I wanna know how much RnD information has provided. I’ve never used that pump as I’m old and when working on rvs it was almost always sureflo. I just don’t know it’s capabilities.

Not sure on substituting the power system, likely just swapping out the wiring harness plugs to connect in. You would also need to verify appropriate wire size for inverter output and alternator charging. Marine tables can be added easily to any camper van and simply require a recessed floor mount.

The fridge is an option that can be added and replaces the door on the kitchen cabinet. Some customers prefer cooler or chest fridges though that can be plugged in and taken in and out.
Transits are not good candidates for overhead cabinets due to intrusive bulge where walls meet roof/ceiling and the premature slope of the roof two feet behind the front seats compared to Sprinters and Promasters.
No air conditioner upgrade?

The Goal Zero Yeti power system can not support AC units needed for this size vehicle. Our full production line, offered through Titan Vans has AC options for all its models.
The set up seems expensive. How much is the total price of the van plus the conversion? Seems like a lot of money and youre not even fully “self contained”. I’m in the market for something similar but still researching.

The total price can vary widely as customers typically acquire the van themselves based on their preferences and budget. Our TIMBER van conversion is designed to be fully self-contained, providing everything you need for comfortable living on the road. This includes an integrated water system with a rear shower, a comprehensive electrical system with solar and alternator charging, an extremely comfortable nearly king-sized bed, and ample storage for all your gear. When comparing costs, a 23' Sprinter van can be obtained for around $50,000, with the TIMBER conversion costing approximately $25,000. This makes our setup a significantly more affordable option than alternatives like the Storyteller Overlands, which usually run around $200,000. If you have more questions or need further details, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Basic product and maybe a little too much storage space. I would be interested if there was a bathroom. Thanks!

PLA, PBAT, and PCL to name just a few. There are many grades of both plastics and flooring. We use flooring by Lonseal which is one of the highest grade flooring available and is used in marine applications as well as in all Boeing airplanes.

Our full production line offered through Titan Vans has several models with interior toilet\shower and even saunas!
I hate the 1/4 tank cut off for the heater. In a larger RV that is $100 of gas. In this Van it should be 1/10 of a tank at the most ... you can still go 30 miles! Also, I often arrive in the mountains late at night with less than 1/4 tank. I can get gas in the morning and continue my journey when the gas station is open! If you go deep into the forrest, then you should really be full and be tracking your gas usage anyway! Plus, having the heater on all night does not use that much gas! ... you are not going to use even 1/4 of a tank!
No hot water, no shower, no toilet, no standard heat, no air conditioner. If you do the numbers, this is almost a fair price for what you get. And for what you don’t get.

I think this is great and a fair price Question: can I opt for a larger fresh water tank, bug screen installed on side/back doors?
@TitanVans

Bug screens are an easy upgrade as they do not affect cabinetry or other interior components. We do not currently offer a larger water tank option though you could retrofit a fresh water tank that goes in the spare tire location and plumb it into the main system.

Well, most van builds that come standard with some form of internet access are much closer to the $200k price range. That being said, our service department offers Starlink installations for under $5,000 if consistent internet access is a necessity for you.
