GreenValleyVans is excited to list this brand new 4x4 diesel sprinter. It hosts every option available for a true off the grid boondock camper, all while maintaining a sleek open floor plan. All materials and finishes have the highest durability available from the 11 ply u/v furniture grade panels that are water and solvent proof to the Corian counter top that is stable in any climate. This van boasts 3" of poly iso in the ceiling, 2" of poly iso in the floor and between 3-6" of Havelock wool in the side walls. To complete the exterior we utilized Artic Tern double pane awning windows with built in shade/screen. In the rear entry of the van there is floor to ceiling built in bug screen and privacy/projector screen. In the entry way there is a large 32x32" shower with an easy to use magnetic curtain. This layout was possible by use of a queen size Murphy bed that is spring counter weighted to make for a easy to open and close bed. Mounted in the bed panel is a 32" 1080p i.p.s monitor that provides the highest viewing angle of any monitor on the market. Climate control is provided by a combination of a high efficiency rooftop ac/heat pump and for the coldest climates a Webasto d2 diesel heater. This van also manages to fit one of the largest battery banks available on the market. To provide power for days at a time we installed a 10,240 watt 48v battery bank fed into a complete Victron power management system. To make sure this massive battery bank can be charged in an adequate time we opted out of solar and utilized a 48v alternator controlled by a wakespeed 500 which allows it to be charged in under two hours from empty.
Now for the quick spec list.

This is the best use of space for a shower I have ever seen.
So awesome
I know, right. That shower 🚿 was a creative idea
I met Paul and Hunter in early 2022 and was very impressed with their creativity, skill, and craftsmanship. Back then, they were installing fixed shower bathrooms in the back of the van. We chatted about a hidden shower. I was impressed with Hunter’s planning and executing of this hidden shower, with the two drains, magnets at the top and bottom of the two shower curtains, and how the curtains can provide privacy for the toilet, if necessary. The hidden shower and Murphy bed really make the shorter vans more practical. For me, this is the perfect van, expertly crafted.
@@ricsanturri313 appreciate the support
Patrick and Hunter.... I'm a retired RV salesman with 20 years in the business and I have to say that I am most impressed with this creation !!! Fantastic !!!
Great to hear James.
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures I worked at the old Germaine's RV and Sun bird RV here in N.J. !!!
@@hdrvman I have been with Colonial RV since 1997.
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures Yes.. I know that.We know slot of the same people!
for this price you could build ANYTHING
Someone FINALLY put a sliding screen in the back door!! 🙌🏻👌
Nice touch
Agreed!!! Back door screen is a game changer!!! Impressive and inventive!!
That Murphy bed is innovative. I like the 11 ply maple.
Great ideas in this build
This is the most creative, thoughtful, and amazing van build I have ever seen.
So awesome Sari
This is the best bed/sofa idea. You save a ton of space. 1 item is dual purpose. Excellent build
I agree
The hidden shower & dual purpose curtains are next level ingenuity! ❤️🙏
So awesome
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures
We need that link to brother who makes these vans :: pinned in the comments or description. So it’s always at the top
@@nicolatesla2315 the link was in the description when it was for sale. They do not have a website or social media.
One of the best I've seen, layout wise.
I'm stealing the shower curtain idea.
Great design!! Very cool shower feature. I like how the curtain has magnets. You never need to notice it unless you are using it.
Stealth shower
Played around with a few different ideas. Most track systems hang low and are sometimes finicky with the small rollers. There's 26 hidden magnets in the ceiling, so there's no wrong way to snap it up. 😀
Please welcome Hunter back to the channel for his newest creation. Lots of really cool stuff in this build. Please join us.
yes, what's his contact info?
vanlife4ever!
Yes
Wow!!! Hunter thought of everything!!! Beautifully done❣️❣️❣️
Always excited to see what he comes up with next
Best van build I’ve ever seen and I’v seen allot
Glad you found this one
Great project! Actually one of the best I have seen so far. For my needs I would just want to have a fully-fledged bathroom and an exhaust system for the kitchen. Apart from it, the project is just perfect!
So happy to hear this
There's always the option of an extended length van with a rear bathroom. Thanks!
So great. It has a bathroom in a short van.
Wow! This is really impressive. Easily one of the best layout and design I have ever seen, from the murphy bed do the hidden toilet and bathroom, and the kitchen as well. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Wow, thank you!
Very nicely built. These videos are so useful for getting inspiration.
Pre-pandemic, I did a self-build conversion (with basic skills and tools) on the road outside my house.
I had a lifting bed - just using sail ropes and block and tackle to help lift up, which worked very well. When stowed, it was about 1.5m (5ft) height underneath, so I had the seating under there. It was at the front of the van, and when stowed you could slide it about 18" above the cab to reduce the low height section. The rest of the van was full height with a normal domestic under counter compressor fridge (converted to 12v, but next time I'll just use standard 240v AC from the inverter), LPG gas hob and oven, a sink with a retractable shower tap and a recessed shower tray as this guy's done (but my effort was nothing like as professional looking!), a swing table made out of a bit of oak, and more storage than was necessary. All the electrics was from solar (no alternator from the engine or shore supply). In three years I used the shower about four times (the rest of the time I used service stations, campsites, lakes, or just had a flannel wash). Every other van person I've met says that the shower was a priority when they built/bought the van, but then never use it. So a system like this I think it's a good compromise - it doesn't take up space. The retractable tap means you can use it outside of the van to wash stuff (or shower).
Next build will have a similar layout, the bed worked very well (although I'm tempted but the Murphy) but probably no shower tray, and I'll cut down on the storage, and hopefully build it so it's more professional looking. As it was an old van that I bought for £4k ($5k), and I did everything myself, the whole cost was about £8,000. As well as cost, my priorities were as low tech as possible as I planned to go to West Africa in it and didn't want it to be too reliant on tech that would be affected by dust and difficult to fix, and although it was a 2wd van I had BFG AT tyres that gave a 1-2" lift and was very effecting on gravel pistes in Morocco. Sadly the standard Mercedes rust took over and I had to scrap the van. Next time I'll use a Fiat Ducato.
Oh wow that is awesome, thank you for sharing that
Love it!
Nice job! I have never understood the waisted space of a shower - the shower and bed maximizes the limited space. I get when people say they love the designated bed, but when you have limited space, this is the way to space, comfort, and ease!
Exactly!!
The waisted space in the shower is important, but the shoulder space and headroom are also important considerations. You need to be able to move around and reach all body parts.
Rad magnet shower curtain. 🎉
Nice design
OMG, if I lived in US, II would definitely hire this guy to make an RV for me!!! Such a cool quality, amazing! LOVE IT!!!!!
Appreciate the support.
Nice rig. My favorite part is the inside shower set up.
Yeah, it’s nice it doesn’t take up any room at all
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventuresit’s very sneaky and clever I’ll give you that the bed is also very hidden
The amount of thought that went into the building of this van is amazing.
Always impressed with Hunter and Paul
It’s amazing how they kept this van as simple with all it has
I’m amazed too
Wow, Patrick. I have watched your videos for a long time and just love how you always seem to have such a variety of builds, etc. I have researched this subject for a long time and finally designed what I thought would be my perfect home on wheels. As I watched this video, I kept getting excited over and over. By then end, I was thinking to myself..."THIS IS IT!!! My perfect home!!!!" With the exception of a couple of little changes/additions, this is it!!!! So, I would like to get in would like to get in touch with Hunter to talk with him about his company building out my van.
Thank you to Patrick for this video and to Hunter for being so creative and innovative in your van build. I am so excited, I don't think I'll be able to sleep for a few nights.
Sorry I seem to have rambled on and on, but I am so unbelievably excited that I would like to talk to Hunter right NOW!!!😃 However, since it's the middle of the night here, I don't think that would be too smart!!! Thanks again, to both of you...and now I'll be quiet...promise!🥰
Thanks for reaching out. Hunter is here answering comments and there is a link to his ad with contact information in the description
I’ll be reaching out to him as well. Love this build!
If I just could afford it I would love to by it! The best combination I have ever seen…😊
We agree!
Such an innovative build!! Thanks for sharing Patrick!!
Glad you found it Timothy
Wow one of the best floor plans I have seen really cool build!
So awesome for the feedback
Love the shower pan in the floor.
Thank u Patrick & Hunter...
Glad you enjoyed the tour
Very impressive! Lots of creative ideas.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great build, great layout. Quality built, smart design. Practical.
The feedback is much appreciated
Thankyou from Bunbury western Australia ....much appreciated all your videos but this one and Hunter are both full of info for me to research cheers
Appreciate the support Beverley
Love the design and creativity in these builds.
Hunter is very talented
amazing skill we just seen,thnx
He is so talented
That is a sweet van. I built a very similar hidden shower in my Transit. Except my shower is recirculating and the hot water is Rixens.
The Rixens is great
That's awesome Jeff! I agree with pat the mcs6 is a great hydronic unit . It was a consideration for this van when I installed the s2d2 but with the overabundance of power in the battery bank, the simplest solution was a bosch electric water heater. Out of curiosity what kind of setup did you use for the recirculation on the gray water side?
Grear windows. Great bed system. The designed is amazing.
Love the windows
Definitely built for full time living
Lots of good stuff
Love it well made 👍
Thanks Kevin
Yikes! This is gorgeous.
Thanks Ria
Love the screen door in back. 🎉
Totally awesome
Love the rear bug screen and the tv/Murphy bed 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pretty cool
Very nice hunter
Thanks Janice
That is the most amazing living van ever! Their creativity and use of limited space is spectacular!
Great tour and so much packed into that van. Great designing.
We agree!
Wow best design for small van
Yes, thanks
That’s one of the nicest custom vans I ever seen on your channel. Sweet!!!
So awesome Mark
LOVE he shower idea; I've NEVER seen that before, ever....and I've been looking at van videos for 20+. Ingenious.
Glad you liked it!!
the electronic layout seems like art piece ❤
It really does
I absolutely love this van!! Great job!! Love the shower ....it's genius. Love the murphy bed, too!!
Thanks so much!
Wow, nice build sir, thanks for sharing Patrick, nice job to you both.👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Thanks for all the support
This is one of the best built, well thought out, conversions I've ever seen. I've been planning my rig upfit for years and found a few things I didn't even consider in this nine minute videos. Very, VERY well done. This is one of the few builders I'd trust - if I had the money to pay for it. lol!
Wow, thanks!
The best use of limited space I've seen.
Appreciate the support
Honestly. This is the best van conversion I’ve seen and I’ve watched thousands of TH-cam videos!
Oh wow, awesome 😎
Es preciosa y con un montón de almacenamiento ❤ la cama abatible es 🙌 genial
So awesome
Oh my! I've watched literally thousands of camper build tours. This is unbelievable. It dropped my jaw multiple times. And the price!? Most would be selling this for $250k+! The battery system alone is miles ahead of even most professional builds.
He gives good value to his customers
Wait till you see our newest model coming spring 2024
eeee wtf no
Game changer!! Very impressive build. The magnetic curtain is brilliant- the silly little hooks on all the other shower curtains look like a pain to set up. The magnet system makes the curtains so much more useful- you can hang them anywhere to use or dry them. My only suggestion is to have a spray nozzle next to or on the sink faucet in order to better clean out the shower pan when needed. And big THANK YOU for making the most info packed video under ten minutes! I can't stand the ones that drag out for half an hour. Thank you for your efficiency Hunter! 😄
Great suggestion, I like it
Very nice design. Several features I've never seen before.
Glad you like it!
Incredible job inspiration central as just looking at Murphy beds
Glad you like it
This is IT. A real land yacht ... If I ever get some money at hand this is the guy who I would hand it over to with no worries. Perfect build for fair money.
Happy you found this one
IMPRESSIVE!!
So awesome
Nice work! Well thought out of.
Thank you! Cheers!
This is nice
Thanks Suppy
Cleanest shower setup I've seen. Well done!
Wow, thanks!
I think this is the best van I've ever seen. Only two things I would change. First, it would be nice to have the capability for solar production. I'm not sure if they make 48 volt panels, but they might. My house has 220 volt panels (never heard of them before they installed). The other minor thing would be to have the tank monitor up where you can check it easily, instead of near the floor in the cabinet.
Anyhow, great van design!!
Appreciate the feedback
You don't need 48v anels, a solar controller will convert it from whatever voltage they are to the battery system voltage
I loved the idea of two alternators. I suppose you could have a little portable solar powered battery if you felt like being stationary for a while and not have to drive around to recharge everything but a back up solar system, one way or another would make me feel a little better.
It's a cool van, I like the clean install of everything.
Such a great build
Very nice , lots of good design and good features, price point in line with what is offered , unfortunately 50k over my purchase limit , thanks for the video
Appreciate the feedback
This is a great van build with open living space and it doesn’t seem clitteredd
Very open space

You bet
Insanely cool

Hunter is on another level. Nice build.
Amazing creation!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love your van and really impressed with quality of workmanship and presentation. Also some great ideas on layout and functionality that I’ve never seen before.
NJOA,,,,,HELLOpatrick,HUNTER has certainly got ,great ideas,on this SPRTNTER, did you catch the TV,as part of the bed? Daytime use,shower is remarkable, with no solar how are the batteries recharged,? Or is it similar,to rhe VOLTA system,that restarts its engine with a second altenerator ? Great space usage,, Thanks for showing it ,,,,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It has a 4,800 watt 48v second alternator controlled by the wakespeed 500 charge controller. It's capable of charging the whole battery bank in two hours!
Thanks Hunter for the reply.
Love this build .
I agree
❤Hunters tour. tyvm

Super sweet

Thanks Aunt Nay Nay
Great plan 🎉
Thanks Kayla
great conversion! Amazing work. For those who can afford it...
We agree!
I just love that pull down screen in the. back of the van......where is the storage for the bikes or a few snow boards of just some tools ....biggest negative of this van.
The bikes can get stored in the aisle and the boards on the underside of the flip down bed.
What a amazing high tec van
Love this
