It’s not so much your specific strategy… rather, it’s the thoughtfulness and mindfulness with which you conduct your business and manage your organization which is impressive and to be celebrated.
Mike, you have also subtracted “shoe leather” in your videos. This one was outstanding. Shoe leather is a movie-making term. “The moments are real and true, but don’t add entertainment value to your script.” For RVs, a good example is spending most the time opening drawers and cabinets. Your more recent videos have been impressive.
I think it's very difficult for engineers to subtract anything, their natural inclination is to add. Sales/marketing are also incentiviced to add things. The key is to show the capability to the customer, but hide the complexity that makes the capability possible.
A nice thing to remove from Sprinter van based campers are the siding side door and the rear doors. It is possible to replace the sliding door with a traditional camper door. The rear doors can be replaced by traditional camper hatches. This will open new opportunities and solve most of the insulation issues with vans. Some European camper builders are looking into this.
Ford decided to reduce the number of parts in a 2024 truck by 2400 pieces! Buyers should check to make sure they have at least four tires with the truck.
Thank you everyone for your thoughtful comments here! We will continue to make videos like this.
Love the intentionality of ARV. You can tell when work becomes a vocation. I will be a customer some day.
“In protocol design, perfection has been reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away’
We need to frame that!

Grant, thank you for the video feedback. Your shoe leather point is something we should strive for.
You put out some amazing RVs! Your craftsmanship is incredible! Keep it going!❤
Great video Mike! You and your team are amazing.

Love this company! Mike and his crew have definitely “built a better mousetrap”!
Hopefully, one day I will make a visit!

Subtraction, but addition in price………Love your product……

They offer their B Box design.
I’m a big fan and I also love to travel. My question is can you add an extra fuel tank on a sprinter van?
Thanks for the question. Yes, you can supplement the fuel capacity of the Sprinter as long as it meets weight and safety requirements.
One day 👍😊
Useless weight is always your enemy. Unfortunately Americans have an insatiable desire to carry everything with them.
