Loved, loved everything about it until ……. I saw the Mercedes emblem. I will not pay the ridiculous prices that Mercedes wants for regular maintenance and repairs. 😢
Freaking brilliant! We find this really inspiring. As a fellow builder, my takeaways are that the woodwork and features are top notch. We love that it’s fully off grid capable. As an ABYC certified electrician, the electrical system is impressive and means business. The styling is sleek and rugged. It’s got internet, hydronic heating, interior and exterior storage, AWD….the list goes on and on. If you’re thinking of buying a conventional RV, just know that you’re not comparing apples to apples. This is the real deal. The west coast is known for this sort of thing but I’m proud that the East coast and especially NJ is on the map for RV’s of this caliber. Well done Steve, and the team at Nomad RV’s
Easy to develop and engineer, customize with an unlimited budget.... The real magic is producing a vehicle within a reasonable price range with decent end product quality, warranty, and profit margin for you. There will always be the buyer who wants all the best of bells and whistles.....kudos to that customer and your company meeting those needs.
@@nomadrvs Bed is quite isolated from EMF's (branch circuits) and although panel is near bed circuits can be managed if necessary. Fridge is in brilliant location and super large, chassis is 1 ton which appeals to me and certainly in terms of capabilities. Simple stow away range to maximize counter use AND convection oven! Battery capacity, shell construction, 4 season and heating system appears to be truly winter capable ... there's a ton of genius and appeal to how this was put together. Very nice!
This is just phenomenal!! No wood, no rot. 1 ton. I love all of the power, off grid capabilities for those times we want to drop off for a week. Didn't sacrifice toilet/shower or fridge space for longer stretches of time. Also appreciate the true queen, husband is just a hair over 6ft. This is crazy capable and gorgeous to boot. One of the best we've seen!
@@nomadrvs The cabinets were really cool. I assumed they were wood, had no idea they were metal. It was a nice touch and they will last forever with little to no wear.
@@nomadrvs Also if you ever build a 19 foot version with reduced features (no shower, smaller refrigerator, etc.) in the 160K-170K you could reach a whole new customer base and you wouldn't really have any competition that I am aware of.
@nomadrvs I liked the storage in the back for electric bikes, the huge fridge, shower and powder coat interior. Overall you really focus on quality and function
As someone who does vehicle recovery to fund my off-road addiction, I hope tons of these things are produced and sold. I think I might be able to afford a gold toilet in my van !
This is awesome I just wish it had a way of having three separate bed systems.. although I guess if your kid was small enough which mine is not they could fit in that upper cabinet above the cab.. we have a five year plan I'm a retired truck driver you know I got to go all over the country Canada and Nova Scotia Alaska entire lower 48 got to drive them but never got to stop and enjoy anything my grown daughter has never seen the country at all and then my grandson who will be 14 so she's going to homeschool him and we're going to take off we were looking for something like this that can house all three of us and still go anywhere and everywhere we want during any season but nobody's wants to share their sleeping space.
I'm waiting for a pullout stair with a landing and steps parallel to the rig. Likely to the rear. Tons of innovation by this RV builder already. Thanks Patrick.
I must say, thats the top in its class that I've seen so far, only not sure of the aluminum cabinets. It reminds me of file cabinets. I also like more cook top space. My all time favorite, is still, the 3 or 4 burner propane Wedgwood range with a small oven. But i am definitely interested in your company and her creations. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Nice purposeful rig. Has a Hymer euro look on the outside. What I like: 1) Composite. 2) Massive 48v electrical system. 3) Garage. 4) 50 gallon fresh. 5) Super singles for improved off-roading 6) Aqua hot heating. 7) Large fridge. 8) Tern Overland windows/doors Critical feedback: 1) Garage door/inside not large enough to store 2 bikes? 2) Gloss interior roof and cabinets, should be flat. 3) Battery outside! This could be a performance issue with hot/cold weather. 4) Preference to build on Sprinter 170 chassis to allow more interior/exterior space. 5) No comfortable lounge space, especially as driver/passenger seats are not part of the habitat! 6) Shower stall looks a bit tight. 7) Need to know more about the manufacturer of those composite panels and construction + insulation used. 8) Need to know more about how chassis flex versus habitat box is attached and issolated - please explain more @2:50. Overall an excellent rig. Congrats
Love the build you ticked all the boxes , I would add a extra alternator for charging the batteries and cut half the solar then it would be perfect. Awesome job 👏
This looks like the Ekko Killer a lot of us have been waiting for. A couple of questions / thoughts… looking forward to the cargo carrying capacity being posted. And would you please consider locking or relocating the gravity fill? And SO HAPPY to see that the steps are NOT powered. Wow, the venting above the shower door near the galley exhaust fan… brilliant! And is there a grey dump switch inside?
Gray dump is manual. Potentially could be powered via a switch if we found a ball valve large enough for decent flow. Where are you thinking for the gravity fill?
33" tires are totally adequate for taking this to it's limit. If you can't get somewhere with these tires you are probably going to need a tow from being stuck some where. Watch Matts off road recovery to see many people who thing their big rig is off road capable
A lot of features which would make this my choice over the Ekko, only would prefer smooth finish on cabinets maybe light gray color, and cabinets delete over bed.
Thanks for covering these types of builds. I do wish you shot with a slightly wider angle lens. Its kinda hard to really get a feel for the space unless youre at one end looking back.
@nomadrvs really like you're vids, just thinking out loud as a videographer. It's a balance though because if you go too wide it also misrepresents the space. But I love watching these because I have been trying to design my ultimate van build. Been gathering ideas for about a year so I can really maximize the layout. Each tour gives me ideas.
Amazing rig! 3 questions. 1) Gas mileage? 2) I know the Sprinter 3500 has a GVWR of 11,030. What’s the dry weight? Cargo carrying capacity? 3) I need a TV! Any way to lose a few of the upper cabinets at the end of the bed to mount a TV?
One last thing. I’ve seen a few truck campers that have the bed mattress on gas struts with 6-12” of storage room underneath the mattress. I think it’d add quite a bit of storage. I’ll be in the market for something like your vehicle in the next not too distant future. You’re definitely at the top of my list!
It's actually a pretty great deal given the features and quality. You can buy a mass-produced RV that'll fall apart in the first year for the same price or more, easily.
What is the price? I've looked everywhere, and they don't even hint at the price range online. My good friend owned a popular car lot for 43 years. He said he never advertised the price because he did not want to scare anyone. Could you get them in the door first?
@ first of all I’m not middle class or high class I’m poor so I drive & live in a 2003 Chevy Express conversion van. Saved quite a while to buy it. I built it out myself. There is a video on my channel. I live in poverty and not by choice but by extreme health issues. It would be nice to have that vehicle just for the bathroom alone. Maybe I’ll hit the lottery😁😁😁😁😁🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐
@@nomadrvs I am 6’ and my husband is 6’3” so it’s annoying that most TT/RV/Vans are for short people. So 5star on the bed and height. I like the aluminum cabinets and the windows. Plus fiberglass. It’s really well thought!
Patrick.. is the camper shell made by those Girls you featured from Toms River? I'm retired from Sunbird/Camping World Lakewood RV sales. I think this IS the perfect rig..!!!!
Also Those 2Outside boxes If I were to buy the vehicle I would want That real estate to be inside The vehicle not outside Because I'm not an adventure person I'm not gonna put Surfboards and ski things I don't do any of that nonsense That's what those things are for that big space in the back.
@ Yes~ the high clearance, suspension, banging battery solar power, all wheel drive, the heating and cooling…. I would want to take my interior layout with your exterior/ framing and components. I love my diy van, but I don’t have the clearance and engine power that yours does!
Btw- 2.5 yr solo female work full time w starlink as a virtual doctor. I pretty much only boondock mountains in summer and winter desert. Very outdoor active- hike bike SUP.
Nomad - man, you need a better website. I went to pour over pictures of that beauty, and nada! 😊 Great design and looks like great quality. Based on most of the other stuff I’ve seen for $200k, would seem like an easy decision.
The garage is 30” wide though we will probably change it to 32” for the production model. It’s 36” tall. So they will fit now and will fit with a larger width too.
For starters they are built strong. But also they are attached to the walls for the shower and inside cabinets has hidden sound deadening and carpet lined bottoms making the insides more quite than wood
Very nice design and the materials used are great, I would seriously consider to buy one but one concern for me is the engine , 4 cylinder twin turbo , these are running very, very hot, require serious maintenance on regular basis, also not many service shops that will be able to help you outside of the mb dealers , it would be good to get a full weight info, breaking distance , side wind issues, what is the lead time on one of these , thanks
I’ve been running it hard and it’s never been hot? Also there are shops outside of MB to work on it. This same motor is used on larger, heavier 4500 chassis rigs too
@ thank you for your answers , I was in process of buying a sprinter with this engine and stoped because of many reports of engine issues , many films on YT my point is that out,,, your offer is fantastic but such a rig needs different engine , MB is not what it used to be to be, consider Ford as an option, Jul 3, 2024 - ... Mercedes-Benz 2025 Sprinter van with the 4-cyl. twin turbodiesel engine. ... The engine had a catastrophic failure at 65k miles. Reported on ...
@@fiberboss2255 to each their own. All manufacturers can have issues. 65k is still under warranty. We’ve built transits that had issues earlier. But I understand. Everyone has their view on certain vehicles. Keep exploring 🤙🏼
Excellent videos here at 'New Jersey Outdoor Adventures' The 2025 Euphoria is very nice!!! 'Nomad RVs' could help save 8 billion people and 8 billion pets!!!

Nice to see a competitor to EKKO/AeonRV.... but the external batteries are a deal killer for me. Those external batteries completely negate all the weatherproofing. Whats the point of having high R value inside the cabin if your external batteries are frozen? And dont pretend battery heaters will work in sub zero temps.
Really depends on the weather but they will work. They are insulated and heated. Besides that we have been exploring the option of putting them inside as I believe there might be room for it.
@nomadrvs I have a similar exterior metal box for my batteries.... In cold weather below freezing the warming pads are overwhelmed and the batteries stop working. Moreover the batteries get drained from trying to heat themselves and can't be recharged below zero. So this is NOT a four season RV.....
Nice, but I would never want any RV based on the MB/Sprinter chassis -- and nothing diesel, either. So regardless of how nice it is, I'll pass. Put it on a Ford Transit AWD chassis (sadly, retarded Ford won't make it 4x4) and it'd definitely be under consideration. As for the RAM ProMaster, something this size/weight (meaning Class B/B+ RVs) is a bit too much for its otherwise very good Pentastar N-A 3.6L V6 gas engine (it's in my Jeep Gladiator but it weighs lots less than a B/B+) so really it seems like the only serious GAS engine choice for the Class B/B+ segment would be the Ford EcoBoost...except I'm concerned about the durability/reliability over time of turbos. Oh, forgot to mention: Given how expensive the B/B+ segment is, I'd have trouble justifying that kind of expenditure. If I already had a huge truck (hig payload-capacity) I could get a truck-camper...but I don't. So my mid-size Gladiator is best limited to small towables (TTs) only -- BR
Maybe retire the R word for describing things you don't like. I get it, it's been in the vernacular for a long time but times have changed and it's not ok.
@@drivinglessons5813 Agree...but was just talking engines/chassis -- if they were built right. Besides, do you remember this -- "Quality is Job #1." -- Ford (1980s TV commercials) Are we still waiting for quality? It's only been ~40 years now so maybe Ford needs more time? -- BR
When a tiny motorhome is better than the 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment I pay $1900 a month to live in! Especially knowing I will never own the unit I live in! I've spent more than 172 thousand dollars on rent since moving into this apartment complex back in 2017. All for what? For nothing! To barely keep my head up!
Beautiful build. Great quality. The paneling over the back wheel well is very slick. Do think the manual stairs are a bit janky for something at this price point. Some smaller electric steps would be an improvement there but this is an awesome camper.
Problem with electric is they aren’t adjustable and don’t touch the ground so aren’t as stable. It was a first choice but after owning many RVs in the past and knowing how much movement there is from people walking in and out we wanted something stable.
"14KW hours. You might not understand that but it is a ton of power". Yes, we do understand, Steven. Please don't make condescending statements. This is a very well thought out RV and high quality build. Cabinetry is top notch. Love the wood countertops, and layout. Best part is the metal roof and sides, solid build and powder coating on everything. Built like a tank, love it! You did an excellent job redefining RVs!
Was simply breaking it down for people. After doing a RV show I had blank stares about the power 99% of the time. Also it’s not metal walls and roof. They are composite panels. I appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. 🤙🏼
Yeah, speak for yourself. It’s good that the guys explaining everything in this. If you’re gonna commit that kind of cash then he needs to be as specific as possible.
I love it But I hate the shower It is a complete and total waste of space Almost every Probably around 90%Of the people I watch on TH-cam that are van lifers Living in an RV Unless it's a giant RV The 1 thing they regret Is the wasted space on Shower That they almost almost never use because everybody has a gym membership Also That queen bed I would have it reduced down to just a single bed And not have that extra bed that can be turned into a bed that's a waste of space too
So my wife can’t sleep in this with me because it should be a single bed? Kidding, there’s choices out there for everyone. And for me I need to shower and love it. I can’t go without.
You could always just convert the shower area into storage. Add some shelves in there that are removable if you ever wanna go back to using it as a shower again.
Have you used a van/rv shower? Gone on a rainy hike or MTB in BLM/national forest when it's 50 outside and your options are no shower, or an outdoor hose? Interior shower is a luxury worth paying for if you have a build like this that creates enough space around it. Yeah, the shower in a Revel blows because it's in the middle of literally everything. This has more than enough room and storage alongside something that's for many super valuable.
Composite, aluminum, powder coating, counter top options, awning windows, fiber glass, large fridge, wet bath, full length mirror, sleeps up to 4, full queen bed... Sensational!!! Thanks for the tour!
So glad you enjoyed it so much!
Loved, loved everything about it until ……. I saw the Mercedes emblem. I will not pay the ridiculous prices that Mercedes wants for regular maintenance and repairs. 😢
@@dianalee508 there are independent shops that are much cheaper.

We do too!
The Mercedes is much more durable and reliable, with a 5 cylinder diesel engine. They go 800,000 km easily.

Nomad - man, you need a better website. I went to pour over pictures of that beauty, and nada! 😊 Great design and looks like great quality. Based on most of the other stuff I’ve seen for $200k, would seem like an easy decision.
Tell me about it. It’s like pulling teeth to find a designer. It’s been in the works for weeks but we are trying!
I would want the whole rig sprayed with Raptor liner.
That does sound pretty cool!!!
Nice
$225k 😮
What are the dimensions for that garage area? Can 2 29" MTBs fit in there?
The garage is 30” wide though we will probably change it to 32” for the production model. It’s 36” tall. So they will fit now and will fit with a larger width too.
I’m wondering what was done to keep the metal cabinets from rattling and also to dampen sound from the large metal walls in the shower.
For starters they are built strong. But also they are attached to the walls for the shower and inside cabinets has hidden sound deadening and carpet lined bottoms making the insides more quite than wood
Very nice, but that wiring bundle in the passenger side wheel well needs to be protected from road debris kicked up by the tire.
It will be. Wheel wells weren’t finished
I would love more windows
Optional to add the same size window that’s by the bed on the back wall.
For 200k what is the warranty? On everything?
So many great features but that passenger seat swiveling seems pretty useless.
It works. I’ve done it. Is it the best? No but it’s functional if you are stuck inside.
Very nice design and the materials used are great, I would seriously consider to buy one but one concern for me is the engine , 4 cylinder twin turbo , these are running very, very hot, require serious maintenance on regular basis, also not many service shops that will be able to help you outside of the mb dealers , it would be good to get a full weight info, breaking distance , side wind issues, what is the lead time on one of these , thanks
I’ve been running it hard and it’s never been hot? Also there are shops outside of MB to work on it. This same motor is used on larger, heavier 4500 chassis rigs too
Lead time right now is 4 months worst case scenario it things can change as orders come in
@ thank you for your answers , I was in process of buying a sprinter with this engine and stoped because of many reports of engine issues , many films on YT my point is that out,,, your offer is fantastic but such a rig needs different engine , MB is not what it used to be to be, consider Ford as an option,
Jul 3, 2024 - ... Mercedes-Benz 2025 Sprinter van with the 4-cyl. twin turbodiesel engine. ... The engine had a catastrophic failure at 65k miles. Reported on ...
@@fiberboss2255 to each their own. All manufacturers can have issues. 65k is still under warranty. We’ve built transits that had issues earlier. But I understand. Everyone has their view on certain vehicles. Keep exploring 🤙🏼
Excellent videos here at 'New Jersey Outdoor Adventures' The 2025 Euphoria is very nice!!! 'Nomad RVs' could help save 8 billion people and 8 billion pets!!! Am I the only one getting my volume turned off? It has happened in the past, then the volume suddenly turns back on 'by itself' so maybe someone is hacking my computer. Best Wishes to All
Very nice, but what is the ceiling hight? For me, that is often the limiting factor.
78”
Continued: 11/8/2024 because they stopped dating all videos, making it difficult to find in the future. Every detail here is really well planned.
Thank you 🤙🏼
Fantastic👍 is it a 144 or 170 ? Thanks
144” wheel base but longer than a 144” van. About 8” leas than a 170” bumper to bumper
It’s a 144
Wish I could afford this🐾🐾
You can do whatever you set your mind to!
Is there vents in the cabinets?
Shower, fridge and microwave have vents. Is that what you meant?
A small entry door grab handle would be nice
It may not be complete. Can we protect the undercarriage from the assault of thiings beiing kicked up and perhaps as a legal courtesy rear flaps?
Correct. Not completed there. It will be
is there an electrical outlet in that large outdoor storage area? Does the,entry door window have a screen?
We are adding one back there to be standard. Entry door will more than likely get a roll down screen once we are happy with one.
Nice to see a competitor to EKKO/AeonRV.... but the external batteries are a deal killer for me. Those external batteries completely negate all the weatherproofing. Whats the point of having high R value inside the cabin if your external batteries are frozen? And dont pretend battery heaters will work in sub zero temps.
Really depends on the weather but they will work. They are insulated and heated. Besides that we have been exploring the option of putting them inside as I believe there might be room for it.
@nomadrvs I have a similar exterior metal box for my batteries.... In cold weather below freezing the warming pads are overwhelmed and the batteries stop working. Moreover the batteries get drained from trying to heat themselves and can't be recharged below zero. So this is NOT a four season RV.....
@ this box was engineered for us for cold weather. But I hear you. 🤙🏼
Does the toilet pull out from the shower?
Yes it’s removable
The lift on it got my attention let’s see interior that will make or break
Nice, but I would never want any RV based on the MB/Sprinter chassis -- and nothing diesel, either. So regardless of how nice it is, I'll pass. Put it on a Ford Transit AWD chassis (sadly, retarded Ford won't make it 4x4) and it'd definitely be under consideration. As for the RAM ProMaster, something this size/weight (meaning Class B/B+ RVs) is a bit too much for its otherwise very good Pentastar N-A 3.6L V6 gas engine (it's in my Jeep Gladiator but it weighs lots less than a B/B+) so really it seems like the only serious GAS engine choice for the Class B/B+ segment would be the Ford EcoBoost...except I'm concerned about the durability/reliability over time of turbos.
Oh, forgot to mention: Given how expensive the B/B+ segment is, I'd have trouble justifying that kind of expenditure. If I already had a huge truck (hig payload-capacity) I could get a truck-camper...but I don't. So my mid-size Gladiator is best limited to small towables (TTs) only

Appreciate you enjoying the build anyway. 🤙🏼
Maybe retire the R word for describing things you don't like. I get it, it's been in the vernacular for a long time but times have changed and it's not ok.
Thank you for your post
I wouldn't trust a Ford 'anything'
@@drivinglessons5813 Agree...but was just talking engines/chassis -- if they were built right.
Besides, do you remember this -- "Quality is Job #1."
-- Ford (1980s TV commercials)
Are we still waiting for quality? It's only been ~40 years now so maybe Ford needs more time?

When a tiny motorhome is better than the 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment I pay $1900 a month to live in! Especially knowing I will never own the unit I live in!
I've spent more than 172 thousand dollars on rent since moving into this apartment complex back in 2017. All for what? For nothing! To barely keep my head up!
whats the difference,other than amentities than this and an ekko.?
2-3.5 times the battery capacity, 2.5 times the solar. All higher end electrical components etc.
You won't have your fans leak, headliner sag and 5 water leaks in your system to deal with after about a year of use :)
I want I want I want
😎😎
If off road, I scrape the rear end with a steep departure, it bangs the box with the batteries. That seems like a bad idea.
Steel box, padded interior too. Basically its own skid plate. Mounts directly to frame. Very strong 🤙🏼
Really? That's what you want to complain about? By a dirt bike....
Beautiful build. Great quality. The paneling over the back wheel well is very slick. Do think the manual stairs are a bit janky for something at this price point. Some smaller electric steps would be an improvement there but this is an awesome camper.
Problem with electric is they aren’t adjustable and don’t touch the ground so aren’t as stable. It was a first choice but after owning many RVs in the past and knowing how much movement there is from people walking in and out we wanted something stable.
Isn't this considered a "B-Box" (Class B with Box) rather than a Class C?
No. In the RVIA world there is A , B and C. Then park model, trailer, truck camper
Class B is a cargo van shell
I’m very impressed with the build.
Simple and practical.No moisture inside or between.?
I’m assuming the above .
Glad you enjoyed it 🤙🏼
Is this smaller than the Ekko?
Yes
@@nomadrvs I wonder if one of those fridge doors that open from both ways could be installed? :)
@@DesertHeat12 that would be interesting
The price is insane to me. But maybe not someone else. Great rig tho. $224k. Ouch
Offer a Ford Transit option and it would be almost perfect…
How much?😊
$199,500 for a limited time
"14KW hours. You might not understand that but it is a ton of power". Yes, we do understand, Steven. Please don't make condescending statements.
This is a very well thought out RV and high quality build. Cabinetry is top notch. Love the wood countertops, and layout. Best part is the metal roof and sides, solid build and powder coating on everything. Built like a tank, love it! You did an excellent job redefining RVs!
Was simply breaking it down for people. After doing a RV show I had blank stares about the power 99% of the time.
Also it’s not metal walls and roof. They are composite panels.
I appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. 🤙🏼
Speak for yourself. This guy's providing a tour he has to do for a huge swath of comprehension levels. Relax.
Yeah, speak for yourself. It’s good that the guys explaining everything in this. If you’re gonna commit that kind of cash then he needs to be as specific as possible.
I imagine it is very expensive
Video tells pricing. 🤔
$200k 😢
RV loan 🤙🏼
Too choppy for me inside. It needs to have a better interior layout including a slightly bigger bathroom
Unfortunately 49% of Americans just put major nonessential purchases on hold.
Politics into a walk through video? 😢
Very nice, but I hate the hyperbole. I guarantee there's thermal transfer in the corners. Also, the wheel wells are purely cosmetic. Wasted space.
There isn’t in the corners due to our construction. But ok?
I love it But I hate the shower It is a complete and total waste of space Almost every Probably around 90%Of the people I watch on TH-cam that are van lifers Living in an RV Unless it's a giant RV The 1 thing they regret Is the wasted space on Shower That they almost almost never use because everybody has a gym membership Also That queen bed I would have it reduced down to just a single bed And not have that extra bed that can be turned into a bed that's a waste of space too
So my wife can’t sleep in this with me because it should be a single bed? Kidding, there’s choices out there for everyone. And for me I need to shower and love it. I can’t go without.
You could always just convert the shower area into storage. Add some shelves in there that are removable if you ever wanna go back to using it as a shower again.
Have you used a van/rv shower? Gone on a rainy hike or MTB in BLM/national forest when it's 50 outside and your options are no shower, or an outdoor hose? Interior shower is a luxury worth paying for if you have a build like this that creates enough space around it. Yeah, the shower in a Revel blows because it's in the middle of literally everything. This has more than enough room and storage alongside something that's for many super valuable.
