Van Craft has been in business for many years and their motto has always been simplicity. They have done many test to what works best for the campervan industry and here are two of their vans.

I looked at this and the short wheel base option at the Denver RV show, and I think he was standing by. I got a couple good ideas that I think I will incorporate into my build. I also like the concept of limited options for efficient manufacturing and keeping costs down. EDIT: Damn, that flip up bench back to bed is another great idea
I live single in a RAM Promaster City and besides being cold I do like it. This presentation is very common sense a nice cabin on wheels. I think all the sleeping beds is a little crazy though it must work for some people.
say what you want about having a chest fridge/freezer on a drawer slide, but having one in a drawer sure makes the counter above it a lot more functional because it doesn't move. So Jarrod, you'll be in Maine soon, eh? Congrats. You're moving North and we're moving South. We looked at VT & NH last fall but found out it gets cold in New England and what's more, they get snow - a lot of snow!
Great build....great ideas especially the fridge....BUT as a lady I could never be without a proper toilet and shower room. I shower every single day and need a toilet every morning. What would be a great selling point is to accessorize the can to give a reality look to show potentials just the way retail showrooms do -displays for visuals.
Good one Jarrod! Glad you did a second video with Van Craft! His builds are simple but very practical.. keeping it more affordable for sure! Like how he builds them for the cold!
Bathroom is kinda important. Especially if ur a woman. Safety is a factor for women. There u go....like when u had food poisoning u need a bathroom asap.
Jarrod….you’ve been doing this for awhile so am fairly certain you have the answer. How does insurance compare on rigs like these vs ones built by the big manufacturers like Winnebago?
Did you not watch the video? They spoke in length about the AC, and also about the proper heater and insulation since they’re in Utah and are skiers. Watch it again.
Why don’t they do bathrooms in their vans right now? They are very important especially for women because we don’t have the kind of equipment as men have to easily pee if you know what I mean 🌭 and it’s harder for us to have outdoor showers because safety is a big factor for us. They’d sell a lot more vans if they give people the option of bathrooms.
Thousands of people live out of van builds like this every day. Many of them have done it for years. But I agree that it’s over priced. SO much cheaper when you do it yourself.
People live full time in vans with less amenities. One of the biggest mistakes that most people make is thinking they need the comforts of a small apartment to do van life.
I have no ideal why you don’t talk about price with “pros.” If we watch a real estate video it’s customary to know what the builder is wanting for that home.
You only see me ask every other video and that’s because I ask them before I turn the camera on. I ask them if it’s ok if we talk pricing. Some say yes and some say I’d rather not
These van builds look amateur and basic, not professionally finished. I could spot gaps in the ceiling edge, uneven ceiling and basically the worst build out I’ve seen. Sorry, but you need to revisit better building materials and better fit outs. Terrible.
When he said no bathroom…. I stopped watching. Bathroom in a any RV/VAn is anecessity. Hygeine is important. I dont want to dig a hole outside to do my business and I shower everyday.

I love when they r able to talk about prices, that way we r left wondering. Especially if you're in the market for a van .
I love how he operates and builds campervans. Thumbs up to his company.

Nice practical build that will stand the test of van life. Thanks for another excellent video Jarrod.
16:22 that is amazing. Never saw this before!

I like the cold and snow :) but most don’t
Very nice!! Thank you for sharing!!!😊❤👍
😂
The 'how do you do scenario, if you need to go urgently to the toilet' before the explanation of the way to do it the right/intended way.
Great build....great ideas especially the fridge....BUT as a lady I could never be without a proper toilet and shower room. I shower every single day and need a toilet every morning. What would be a great selling point is to accessorize the can to give a reality look to show potentials just the way retail showrooms do -displays for visuals.
NICE SIMPLE LAYOUT
Caught Nate (?) checking his watch which means he's going to talk faster.
These vans look great! Simple & clean. I love it.
Good one Jarrod! Glad you did a second video with Van Craft! His builds are simple but very practical.. keeping it more affordable for sure! Like how he builds them for the cold!
pretty cool build

Jarrod….you’ve been doing this for awhile so am fairly certain you have the answer. How does insurance compare on rigs like these vs ones built by the big manufacturers like Winnebago?
Essentially van craft and winnebago are the same, or at least that’s how insurance will see it. Doesn’t matter if that name has been around longer.
Howdy Jarrod from Firehawk in Colorado.
Nice hoodie. ✌
Is that classified as 'simplicity'?!
That's real nice.
Compared to the vans I show from some other companies 😂
@@JarrodTocci
Everything is relative. 🤣
I’m def one who would hate having to always put my bed up or to pull it out! Pretty nice build. Def not “fancy”. But, it’s doable.
Excellent video; looking for a Promaster build, unfortunately 👍👍👍
Around that same price range you can look up boho vans for promaster
I love this 🔥✌🏽
No freezer?
Hey Jarrod, thanks for the latest and greatest...BTW, where can you get the TMAT?
Not sure where to buy but nothing a quick google search can’t handle
@@JarrodTocci Hi Jarrod, yeh, I did search TMAT didn't show results so wondered if vancraft could share
I really don't like that all of the weight is on one side of the vehicle. Especially on the left side.
I don’t think $125k is what people are thinking when they click on a title for the “most affordable camper vans”…
Have you seen what other companies charge for van builds 😂 you don’t know until you know
What is the name of the flooring in the garage. I understood "C mat" but can't find anything.
T Mat
Additional heat or AC? It's very hot in Texas during summer. Front AC won't be enough.
Did you not watch the video? They spoke in length about the AC, and also about the proper heater and insulation since they’re in Utah and are skiers. Watch it again.
Why don’t they do bathrooms in their vans right now? They are very important especially for women because we don’t have the kind of equipment as men have to easily pee if you know what I mean 🌭 and it’s harder for us to have outdoor showers because safety is a big factor for us. They’d sell a lot more vans if they give people the option of bathrooms.
Does Trent and Allie work here? They have a TH-cam channel in Utah.
Looks like quality workmanship. Although cabinet handles look like cheap plastic?
Not worth $125,000. It’s a mistake to think that a single person could live out of this fan.
Facts
Thousands of people live out of van builds like this every day. Many of them have done it for years. But I agree that it’s over priced. SO much cheaper when you do it yourself.
I don’t understand why you think a person can’t live in this van when there are tons of people who do it.
Toilet not provided? No shower? Not liveable.
People live full time in vans with less amenities. One of the biggest mistakes that most people make is thinking they need the comforts of a small apartment to do van life.
What are the floor mats discussed? T-mat?
Yes t mat
6:01 just tell your customer "Mise en place" and they can stop worrying.
Don't get a loan ....... buy outright
Agree but most don’t have 150k
I have no ideal why you don’t talk about price with “pros.” If we watch a real estate video it’s customary to know what the builder is wanting for that home.
Impressive operation. To bad the Van life didn't catch up in europe. People stick to the factory ready dreadful Fiat and Ducati versions..
You talk about pricing every other video
You only see me ask every other video and that’s because I ask them before I turn the camera on. I ask them if it’s ok if we talk pricing. Some say yes and some say I’d rather not

Fair. But some also don’t care 🤷🏻♂️ however I’m with you. Need my bathroom
