I don't ask price with most builders for many reasons. Every build is different, prices go up and down daily due to products and materials, privacy for the client, if he (or anyone) says the price there's no way for me to edit that part out therefore whatever is said its now "the price" even though it could change. As you can see it's not easy to just ask the price.
We wanted this tour to be quicker BUT there is so much good information that needed to be shared like the expandable recirculating shower, huge batter bank/power system, design on how everything fit, why things went were they went. Brandon has spent years fine tuning this layout and it keeps getting better.

I got questions! Amazing build, can this be done on a larger chassis n make a space for 3?
Hi Brandon, Amazing stealth build - like to see how the toilet works vs the Incinerator Toilet? - Ref Water Generation A Roof Rain Capture and Filter system be good.
Then you don't need anything apart from food and not another machine to take up space to make water.
I like you first stealth Van with Wooden sides that you pull up and have mirror, clean.
Love to see a little wood burner stove that can do it all one day as a back up - eg heat - cook - hot water etc stealth chimney.
Be Cool to see a Hilux or Tacoma Truck camper with this kind of build you can slide in rear tray and good to go like the azar 4 but with brandon stealth magic and then you have the 4x4 element and can drive it anyway and still be comfort.
Have you seen the hardtop roof pop up access from inside van - one of those would be great then you got another upstairs area, overlander some have been fitted to vans very slick. + Walkable when down and solar on that.
The over thing that I think is cool for full timers is these massive awnings that people can attache to vehicle so you got a massive space thats waterproof and private.
Keep pushing the Bar Brandon!
Great work

How much for this build?
Sadly I don't have Instagram. But I'm very interested
This guy looks like Mark Zuckerberg wishes he looked like.
😂😂 ok that was good
Mark Zuckerberg x Hugh Jackman
Zuck looks like an ai’s depiction of a human.
deep fakes have gone a long way, too realistic
😂😂😂
This is the type of stealth I have been looking for. No one can see in and I can still see what's going on out side. Good job all the way around.
not only that but there are no real outward clues that it's a camper van, can't see an AC/fan unit or solar panels sticking up on the roof or really anything other than the beefed up front grill/bumper to indicated it's anything beyond a stock cargo van
@@amythistxue1 These days any van I see I assume its a camper. This van life has exploded the last few years.
You found it now what?
@@MonkeySpecs301 now I start getting my money together to buy one.
@@alkohl5106 that’s what’s up, hope you get it soon.
This is incredible. I’m a solo camper and have a 20’ travel trailer which is fine for me. I’ve never, EVER wanted to live/camp in a van until this one. I could definitely see this as something I’d love. It’s gorgeous!!
In the dark and chaotic depths of 2015, while shackled to a soul-draining job in the heart of NYC, I stumbled upon the fabled RV/Stealth RV world. It was a tantalizing vision of freedom, a shimmering mirage of escape from the suffocating grind and I became obsessed. Day after day, I found myself captivated by dreams of hitting the open road, leaving it all behind.
But as time mercilessly passed, the dream became more distant, unattainable, and I lost myself in the shadow of doubt. Life's demands kept me chained to my desk, suffocating any hope of venturing into the unknown and I reluctantly turned my back on the dream, and the videos that once ignited my spirit were abandoned, gathering digital dust.
One thing that always really impressed me at the time was how impressive the builds were. I would have been totally satisfied to be living out of so many of the rigs I would see back then.
Fast forward to today when I stumbled upon this video. All I can say is my mind has been truly blown!!! The build quality now is absolutely insane!!! The level of technological advancements and design is truly unbelievable!!! Seeing this has totally re-ignited the dream...the possibility of living an extended period in one of these amazing setups.
...maybe this really can happen!
How's that desk?
I’m a poet. Just wanna say you used vivid language in this. Consider writing prose or poetry 👍🏻
This build is incredible. I’d feel like a secret agent living in this thing. The guy is a genius! Love it! 😍
That'd be appropriate. You'd be as obvious as government agents in black suits and shades talking into their lapels with a finger to their ear while driving this thing around and parking it up at night. This is not stealth. :)
@@ButterfatFarms Not even. Most ppl lack situational awareness in general, and this black van is nice enough it could fit in most higher end neighborhoods while plain enough it wouldn’t be outta place in a poor or industrial zone either.
@@Noadvantage246 Wrong
@@Noadvantage246 there's nothing stealthy about this van and if you think otherwise that you're failing.
Come on how is this not stealthy
Even though all his builds are similar he is always trying to improve his builds. Love his builds for the clean uncluttered look and how it feels like truly separate living spaces.
Where do you put a blanket? Clothing? Anything personal, like books or plants, pictures? Minimal is one thing, but nothing personal, no space for pets, zero soft texture. It may be perfect and minimal, but also impersonal and cold.
They said something about bedding... like not needing it!? But it was difficult to understand what he meant. There were several things in this video like that, which I played 3x times, but still couldn't understand because it was skipped over so fast and so few words used.
There's the wardrobe. The garage. Under the bench. This van has tons of storage. Enjoy your cluttered life and your narrow mind.
This is the first one where I can say.. YES this is worth the 6+ figure rig cost for paying for the build. The black cabinets are not for me personally, but if I had the money, this craftsmanship, stealth, features, etc is exactly what I would want, just with different cabinet fascias. Beautifully executed.
Totally agree. This van is absolutely perfect and should be going into mass production! Only thing I'd change is the shiny black mirrored interior. Definitely matches with that yacht aesthetic he mentioned but not very cozy.
I’d need a stove and fridge included in the build, non the less still a nice build
@@diegosegura7617 It had both
Brandon is thinking on a whole other level with this type of conversion, WOW! Seriously impressive!
Completely amazing van. Love the philosophy of making the entire interior have use modes instead of breaking it up into use zones. Nothing worse than lying in bed looking at the kitchen sink. Fab design!
The tinted windows are amazing holy cow, more builds need those!
Most advanced build I've seen so far. Very, very impressive. 100% electric/solar too. Expensive for sure, but it shows just how far you can go with these luxury van builds.
I have watched Soo many Van builds, and this is by faaar the most impressive and practical build. I could actually imagine myself Living in this comfortably and also have friends over and not be embaressed
I'm in the planning phase of vanlife at the moment and this stealth van layout is the best I've seen so far. Genius!
Never use condensation from an A/C unit as a drinking source unless it's gone through a microbial water filter that is capable of removing microorganisms.
WOW Brandon! This build is stunning! The absolute perfect van build in my opinion!
Amazing. This builder is like the "Mad Scientist" of stealth vans! Total respect.
Wow! Love this!!
I was very interested in this van so I reached out to him the unit ranges around 245k-250k out the door
This dude just keeps blowing my mind. What does one of these cost?! He continues to perfect his design....I didn't think anyone could top his last one but ... wow.....this is unbelievable
the last video of his build someone said its like 200k
Do you know if it’s a brand new van 0miles ? If so it’s totally worth it
😮 he has the best van every time. His aesthetic is so modern and easy. Really beautiful job @buckSD. Thanks Jarrod for grabbing this before it headed off into the world.
Been watching a lot of van build videos for the past few years. I want a van cause I'll be pulling 3000 lbs. behind it. (trailer with side by side)This build spoke to me. Sure there are a few things I'd change. Like no T.V. or microwave, but otherwise everything is spot on. Brandon is by far the best builder of vans I've seen. The ingenuity of this design goes into the future. Thanks for touring this van Jarrod.
Very impressed. Pretty much as good as it gets for this size of van. Completely stealth and no messing around with blinds or building up/breaking down a bed every day like most of the others. The pull out shower space is such a great idea. From the outside it doesn’t look like a camper at all. Not even a little. Having a lounge/kitchen/bedroom is also great as a multi use space. Great job!
He's definitely top 3 van builders I've seen on this channel.
Design and functionality is a total beast. You make this complicated function to look too simple for its design. My fave so far 👌🏻
Absolutely incredible build and so well thought out. Love how Brandon thinks! If you could somehow shoehorn a washer and dryer under the passenger front seat and some sort of sliding screen door I would be all over that thing.
I am watching a lot of van conversions and this is one of the best I've seen. A rare van where you can actually live without taking showers in the gym or any inconcenience really. Very well done!
Brandon’s attention to detail and design is unmatched. Thanks for posting this Jarrod, yet another great video with great questions and dialogue.
BuckSD is definitely the KING of Stealthy Innovation! (Those WINDOWS) Great van and another great video by the Tocc-Man!
The guy I bought my oregano from in High School lived in a Bread Truck he had gutted and built out......the outside was Perfect Replica of the wonder bread trucks and he would pull up behind grocery stores and plug into an outlet and hook up a hose. Had hot water/ shower/ rv toilet...stove AC etc. Being young and dumb I wanted to grow up and be just like him.
This is visionary. Any one else who doesnt like an obvious kitchen in your face when you step into a van. Also the kitchen bench liftups are brilliant. Means you can have a great workspace for a studio. Loving the tv placement and how you can curl up on the bed and watch with ease! This is a different plan from the usual, so sleek and versatile. The stealth factor with the windows are perfect. Well done!!!
I've watched you interview him several times. Dude got a serious imagination. His conversions are really innovative. I think this one tops them all. It has everything and you can't even see it. Another thing about him is he gives you enough power and not just the minimum. He likes 48 volt systems. All RV's should be built that way instead of turning on a different switch all the time and cutting off the A/C so you can use the microwave. This one is a genius build. 👍 Good job!
That's crazy... so many ideas i have been planning for my van. Murphy bed, cameras all around, very stealth tinted windows, the stovetop under the countertop, AC and heated floors. Love that there are no handles. A lot of these systems i was going to look into also. He took my ideas and made them better. Very impressive.
Ideas are a dime a dozen.
The proof is in the pudding
He keeps saying 'we' but I don't see a website for build requests. I see the instalink but I don't do insta. Is there another way to contact him. I'm very interested!
@@kellinomnom In the video, he only mentioned direct messaging him on Instagram as the way to contact him, unfortunately.
This will form the basis of my first van build. I love everything about this. Mine will be slightly less polished but will take the advantages of this multi-modal space solution. Absolutely brilliant.
That toilet/shower solution is amazing 😍
Loooove the stealth style 🥳
My only dislike is the oven by the floor 😆 my brain is in, "how would I fix it" mode - knowing I could never do a better layout or build 😅💃
I Love this build 😍♥️
Thank you for great videos 😁🙏🥳♥️
Something tells me this guy never cooks.
Awesome van! Everything you need, efficient use of space, clean lines, and amazing power system!
I've been watching a lot of van etc. builds as I've been getting interested in them (if I could ever learn how to drive one). This is pretty much exactly what I had in mind if I ever got into it. Love the couch/murphy bed combo and hidden TV! Only thing I wouldn't do is have the sink completely hidden. If I decide to build one, I know who I'm calling. Great tour!
Wow,Wow,Wow.Pretty darn good!
Perfect EXEPT for the Ram Van!
My ALL TIME FAVORITE van ! ! ! I loved the first two, but this is perfection! Thank you Brandon - Thank you Jarrod! Give Glacier a hug from me!
Love the build, the ideas! Great work!
Only thing is the sliding Cabindoor, the gap. A little smaller door and a u-form slide-in for the door and the gap is closed. No light through.
I wish I had something like this when I was escorting windmill blades around the country. For three years I lived in the six foot bed of my Chevy Silverado. I used a portable ac unit, space heater, tv, Xbox and cot with no water or space. I powered everything off a 2500 watt generator modified with a extended run gas tank. I thought it was so clever at the time but seeing what can be done with a van now I feel like such a caveman. Love the channel and videos keep them coming!
The systems engineering is just so incredibly well thought out and executed. The whole thing is just amazing! Incredible job! I have other things to do now so I can’t just sit here laying down superlatives all day!
Let’s gooooo!! 🎉 Conversion looks awesome.
Wow those ideas about home office desk setup and dropping bed, awesome! I like how these have more than one option to use. Congratulations on being creative! Wonder how much this build would cost
This thing rocks! Comfort without the clutter.
Clutter is what drives me nuts about most of the self builds. I don't like the ones with all the knotty pine. I don't want to live in a rustic cabin. I want to live in a modern VAN.
Love to see Brandons fine tuning, innovative design. There is much to comment on but the thing I picked up on most was the 48 volt power. Will Brandon be the first to design a perpetual EV recharging itself? Close to that happening, excited for the possibility. As always, thanks Jarrod
Not sure how you arrive at perpetual self charging... But just bear in mind, all the energy comes from solar, charged from external source, or via the engine (alternator). There is no free energy except when the sun is out
Technically the alternator generated power is free in a sense as you’re going to be driving anyway. You’re not going to drive just to charge it. Plus there are places that have free EV charging so that’s also free as you can use a ev charging station.
@@PaulSmith324 nothing is free. You will have to use the engine to turn the alternator. It's 6kw output iirc. A typical car will use 6kw to maintain steady state speed on the level at about 30mph.
engine idling produces next to nothing, fuel is just there to keep the engine turning.
However, one can harvest during braking but that's just here and there and needs the alternator to be designed to do so. Highly unlikely it is here.
Perpetual energy......you should try to retake high school physics.
@@darksnow1111 you should better understand sarcasm. Have a great day (that was sarcasm )
This build is incredible. For a house, I think having some color here and there would be nice, but the engineering in this build is the best that I've seen. I wish I knew how to make my skoolie that capable. The back charging to power a house is awesome.
Damn that's literally my DREAM BUILD CONVERSION VAN! STEALTH BLACK! With all the necessities, Low-key classy and clean!
This is by far the best iteration from Brandon. Clean and minimalist.
This build is absolutely incredible! He’s a genius!
This gentleman being interviewed is absolutely brilliant. And not too shabby physical shape! Thank you for sharing this. I don't get to see builds of this character much these days. Mind blowing!💪😎👍❤🔥
So “stealthy” but also blatantly obvious at the same time 😂😂
The black gives it away. Makes it look upscale. White blends in with work and passenger vans. Is there a way to do windows that don't stand out in white? If not I'd forego the windows.
Wow I love the windows and how they don’t look like it from the outside. And all the other amazing stuff!
Sleek, stealthy, and sexy. Amazing build, incredible ingenuity and use of experience to fit all of these features in- without it looking like it has all of these features. Just gorgeous!
What? I don't think Brandon is stealthy at all. 😉
The compressed shower 😍 I have never seen it done that way. I absolutely love it!
One of the best thought out vans I have ever seen. The engineering on this is great!
Amazing. Next level build. I’ll be rewatching. I loved everything. I want one for myself to travel. Best van build yet 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
My experience of a 900mmx1500mm skylight is that they let way too much heat in in summer. I've now replaced it with an extra couple of solar panels.
A black van will be even hotter. I'd still keep the skylight in a white van and go with no windows like in the first build I saw of Brandon's. For me, it will essentially be an efficiency apartment on wheels. More bedroom, less kitchen.
This is the best that I have seen I love the way things flow inside no clutter just simplicity .Everything you need yet don't want to see till you need it ..
That pull out shower is epic!
King of stealth….for sure! Always memorable builds. Love it!
That shit is CLEAN damn
Brandon's builds continue to improve with each iteration. Love the style!
Let's Go! Love it when your excited and smashing it. What a great build.
This guy, as always, is killing it with his genius ideas
That build is another dimension ❤
So well done. Classey build and well designed. Professionally done and something I would want myself. Excellent
I'm surprised more vanlifers don't use Beddy Bed products. It acts just like a fitted sheet, but has a zippable top sheet/blanket so all you have to do is just zip it up and it's "made". Especially for a murphy type bed, it would make the transition that much easier.
But this van is insane. If I ever built a van, I would use this as inspiration for a lot of things.
I do agree with you here! Good product but I feel they need a better design
Hi Lauren: Thx to you I know what a Beddy is, just ordered my first one to check it out :).
@@LJ-jq8og I hope it works out for you!
@@boehmlauren01 Thx, I love the concept, the design seems fine to me !
@@JarrodTocci we all gotta start somewhere
Wow - I would love to live in a van like that!
Incredible build
FINALLY WINDOWS!!!!!! They look BEUTIFUL!
I'm in awe. This is the COOLEST van ive seen so far! the turf in the cabin feels like front yard! I'm so psyched about van life after watching this video!
I think I remember that first tour with Buck SD. This one is absolutely incredible, the only other van I like as much is the Hymer Venture S, but the Venture S is no where near as stealthy. Thank you for the tour!
This is by far the greatest van build I've ever seen! I'd love to know a ball park cost for a build this brilliant.
Brandon knows what he's doing. Magnificent van!
I love this design so much it looks so clean and still has all the amenities you would need
I absolutely love it! A little short on storage but you can only fit so much. I love the pull out bathroom! That was REALLY a good idea! And I like the idea of having use of the condensation from the AC to get water. In Florida where it's super humid and warm most of the year, we do use AC most all of the time. So it would be really practical here. And I love the garage that is just large enough for a couple of bikes. VERY cool! I love the hide away sink and stove too. I would love to have a little extra freezer unit big enough for a frozen meal or two and a couple of pints of ice cream. And if I really wanted to live it up, I'd get something with an automatic ice maker. :D
Wow, if Brandon collaborated on a "virtual build" with Humble Road and Ladi & Margaret that would be incredible 💪 To me Humble Road, Brandon, and L&M are the unequivocal world royalty of van building... Can you imagine a GUTTED where only those three competed 😊
How could you leave out Seven O Seven ?????????
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
@@007nadineL OUCH you are right, he is great too ! 😊
@@007nadineL Seven O Savage
Awesome build, I LOVE the slotted window & the skylight. So amazing! ❤🤘
Wow! The thoughtfulness from experience.
This dudes got to be the leading top designers for van builds. Almost wants me to take a 200k loan out so he can build me one.
I expected nothing less of greatness 💥
What a beautiful build, and it's so stealthy, amazingly beautiful.
Been a year and i still come back to this build. That pullout shower though 🤯🤯🤯
Partition is fully insulated he says. And yet, you can see major gaps in the door partition. lol
I noticed that to since I’m a thermal/humidity geek! Needs to use some of the Schlegel draftstrip that slots into a 3mm groove you cut on a tablesaw. I did that on my sliding bulkhead door & it works great (much better than any normal foam compressible type due to the u-shape)
I am at a lost for words. I could literally use some oxygen to catch my breath for what you have done with this van. Numero uno without a doubt. I don't even have the strength to continue and talk about the uniqueness and innovative designs in this van. I can simply say that Brandon you are the cream of the crop. You are definitely the top designer.
LOL! Great build, with great features! I love the black on black. It looks fantastic. One thing to note is that the recirculation idea was generated by that old guy! who has a TH-cam channel (I can't remember his name, but I have his channel bookmarked somewhere from many, many years ago) - you know who I'm talking about. He came up with the idea. I hope Brandon didn't mean he came up with that idea himself, because that would be untrue.
The recirculating idea came way before vanlife. There have been designs for years for ‘shower loop’ and I’m pretty sure that’s what they use on the space station seeing how there is no water source there. The guy you’re talking about actually saw a video I posted back in 2018 of some friends that did a recirculating shower in their van
Amazing! With such a sleek interior design you don't feel closed in. Love it! 😃
This build is absolutely amazing! I would want him to build my van, if I could afford him.
He made what I envisioned for the pull out shower...this guy is such a boss
Rialta rv's have had this expanding bathroom concept for years (so do the LeSharo rv's). Super efficient use of space, and an amazing way to hid the shower pan under the floor (not sure what this guy does)
But do they cook on the floor? Some people worry about standing up in their van not this guy.
I wish they'd showed more of the shower. i.e. Point the camera at the floor! (Obviously part of the floor you stand on when showering has to either go under or over the floor the toilet sits on.) Looking at the finished product means little without understanding how it's practically done. Also how to make a good seal between the two halves, so water doesn't escape when showering.
That pop out bathroom is NICE!!
It's funny how Van Life is like LUXURY for rich people, I just want a minivan with a mattress in the back.
To live in full time? After a while, you’ll want more.
@@donaldvanvliet9039 Oh for sure, I dream of a time when I could afford it :/
A happy medium is to replicate these on a budget. It can be done. I bought a $60 recirculating shower pump on Amazon. I use it in my 65 square foot off-grid cabin.
I mean, for this cost you could actually buy a house.
BuckSD is wasting his time with vans. He should be working on habitats for living on Mars.
😂
That's a beautiful build! Thank you!
Placing the A/C unit within the van is genius; I wish more houses were designed that way. In Texas, many builders place the HVAC system outside the conditioned envelope of the house and in an unconditioned, ventilated attic, so the HVAC has to cool the air in a blazing hot attic (sometime above 130 F), and the ductwork loses some of that cooled air to roof vents. Matt Risinger on his Build show advocates for extending the conditioning envelope to include the attic so that the HVAC system can be more efficient. I loved seeing that idea applied in this van build.
This van build is utterly amazing--brilliant concept and beautiful execution. The panel/door that separates the driver's compartment from the back of the van seems to have some light that can get through when it's closed--is that just because it isn't closed all the way, or is there a gap that actually exists even though the panel/door is closed? I would think that gap could be an issue with stealth at night.
If you watched all the High-End Details in this Vid, I HIGHLY doubt your concern was overlooked.
150'000$ Van Build and you think he let the light go through the driver compartment....
🤣
Thanks Jarrod, Amazing friend and amazing creativity in this van-build! WOW!!! I had no idea that much could be built into a van...Likes and sub'd for more great ideas...
Wow, it definitely goes to show people that when you actually live the life , experience is the best seller!
This van is incredible! I look forward to seeing more.
