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 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!!
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
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 👍🏻
Stop waiting and just do it lad. DO IT.
Put the phone down, get the plan together and DO IT.
START. Everything else will fall into place as you go.
Your writing really is excellent.👍🏻
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.
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.
Brandon is thinking on a whole other level with this type of conversion, WOW! Seriously impressive!
Amazing. This builder is like the "Mad Scientist" of stealth vans! Total respect.
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
😂😂😂
The tinted windows are amazing holy cow, more builds need those!
Amazing....it is so clean and modern inside. Looks minimalistic inside but has everything anyone would need plus it looks so stealthy but elegant outside. Best van build I've seen.
Out of all the van builds I've seen, this is the one I keep coming back to. I love the blacked-out windows, the murphy bed and the overall sleek designs of the cabinets and finishings. I think I'd still prefer a walk-in wet room at the rear of the van though in lieu of the slide-out shower and garage space.
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!
There are many things in life worse than lying down and seeing a sink.
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!
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
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!!!
WOW Brandon! This build is stunning! The absolute perfect van build in my opinion!
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.
noooooooisy
Brandon’s attention to detail and design is unmatched. Thanks for posting this Jarrod, yet another great video with great questions and dialogue.
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!
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
@@justinankarPeople who buy such vans, probably around 1/4 million €, don’t go for mass production. 😉
Wow! Love this!!
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!
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.
😮 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.
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.
Design and functionality is a total beast. You make this complicated function to look too simple for its design. My fave so far 👌🏻
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.
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
That seems about right. I’m guessing most of these end up belonging to somebody that can also afford a nice house… rather than somebody considering full-time van life… Is that true? Many of these will prob. be used a couple weeks out of the year…that’s my guess.
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.
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!
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.
One may also use an ozone bubbler in the water tank. Ozone kills germs. Acts like a gentle bleach. Will precipitate any chemicals in the water. Great for shower or bath and Is Drinkable once you let the ozone dissipate.
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!
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!
He's definitely top 3 van builders I've seen on this channel.
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!💪😎👍❤🔥
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.
One of the best thought out vans I have ever seen. The engineering on this is great!
BuckSD is definitely the KING of Stealthy Innovation! (Those WINDOWS) Great van and another great video by the Tocc-Man!
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 ..
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.
I am clearly late to this video but this build is absolutely amazing. For all the things that give it a wow factor though the thing that really hooked me was that he planned in space for 2 bikes on the inside. I have seen so many stealth van builds where there has been discussion of bikes or surf boards but the only place to put those bikes is on a rack out back-you don’t want your pride and joy out there in the elements or being stolen while you sleep and the only solution for me up until now has appeared to be a fixed bed layout with a garage under a bed placed 104 cm above the floor (my saddle with front wheel off). I have seen this concept before of bikes upright in the back but never with the rest of this package. Brilliant, awesome, unending stream of superlatives…
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.
Murphy beds make so much more sense than a fixed bed in a van.
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
Very sleek build. I'm in awe! Funny, I was just thinking of some way to draw water from the air and you guys talk about it in this very video. Thanks for the info and tour!
Awesome van! Everything you need, efficient use of space, clean lines, and amazing power system!
I am used to writing a lot when i comment on camper vans but i was literally left speechless by this one. I onlg have one word: Perfect ❤. This is a dream. I mean, everything from a dry flush toilet, my favourite in a motor hime ( my first time seeing one in black) to everything neatly tucked away but magically appearing when you need them.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was very interested in this van so I reached out to him the unit ranges around 245k-250k out the door
That’s unexpectedly reasonable for this build
Do they service them too?
@@kelleywimberley what do you base that on? the Noovo Lite cost $100k less than this build and is even the extended version of the RAM Promaster.
That’s much cheaper than the ridiculous 700k this other couple wanted for their rubbish build 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 ridiculous price
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.
@@PaulStallion yeao, same opinion here...
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
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 )
Amazing. Next level build. I’ll be rewatching. I loved everything. I want one for myself to travel. Best van build yet 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow I love the windows and how they don’t look like it from the outside. And all the other amazing stuff!
This is one of the build that i really like. minimalist. straight to the point. Appreciate the pull out cr.
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.
Thank you for no music, so soothing! Bravo Jarrod, that is an improvement!!
The slide out shower is genius design, wow! What a cool looking shower and toilet.
6:23 - Notice the detail on window frame. It is grooved on the sides, so the blinds are inset into the wall, ensuring there is no light leakage around the side edges. Brilliant design.
The things I don't like about this build is the lack of window openings, no visible venting for stove or microwave. It feels claustrophobic inside. I want to feel one with the outdoors and have views, and this is like a sealed coffin. Very good for a peaceful night, with sound and light blocked off, but what about hearing birds singing, the ocean waves, the salt air and sunlight coming through the windows, all missing. So its just like an artificial apartment in a fancy tower, no connection to the earth and outdoors. Not my thing.
fyi
The guest being interviewed needs a shirt microphone. Audio was fading in and out.
Visuals were very dark inside, I could barely see. More light is needed.
We never got to see his power grid set up which was disappointing. No internals shown. If I were buying a van build from him, I would want to see how accessible and modular the power grid was - easy access to replace components, solar panel positioning, quality of components, layout. This is not a state secret that others will steal. Its well known how to do this.
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
Damn that's literally my DREAM BUILD CONVERSION VAN! STEALTH BLACK! With all the necessities, Low-key classy and clean!
It does look absolutely cool inside but, a few issues I've seen: 1) The mirror like cabinets will be a pain to clean 2) the oven/microwave is uncomfortable to use in that position(but I understand the lack of space) 3) TV under the countertop? Thats a kitchen, so cooking will be happening. Spillage happens :) 4) the wood panels/walls look fantastic but how do you dust them and how often? I love the fact that the living area is separated from the driving area but still accessible from the inside. I've seen many builds when you have to get out of the van to drive off...and that's not a great idea sometimes. The bed setup is absolutely fantastic! Best overall build I've seen so far and I'm kinda addicted to these videos :)
🙄 Debbie Downer.
I watched so many Van video but I feel this is the one that will meet my stealth needs it has the power, stealthiness, sleek clutter free design I would want in a van pray one day can own one truly love it ....
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. 😉
This build is absolutely incredible! He’s a genius!
Wow,Wow,Wow.Pretty darn good!
I think this is my favorite build of all time: it would fit my needs the best. Don’t get me wrong, Shaydens builds are insane but this is just right for me… taking lots of notes
The compressed shower 😍 I have never seen it done that way. I absolutely love it!
That expandable shower is brilliant! But does anybody have any idea how he kept that water sealed, that's hard am I right??
Wow now this is top quality construction with function love the stealth and black windows very well though out in design i love this i would love to have him build me one like this' i do prefer rounded edging i love the black class look really nice unit luxury shows like a show class van
Brandon's builds continue to improve with each iteration. Love the style!
That probably best setup I've ever seen. The concept when you can transform space depend on your purpose and needs are great especially for such small space like van. I don't agreed about microwave near floor, but that is compromise I think. Idea with shower and kitchen are really smart. Good van for living, work and travel, maybe not so good if you just do outdoor trip.
King of stealth….for sure! Always memorable builds. Love it!
JESUS..... this is an Absolutely amazing build, damn near perfect, I love this and want it some day. Not sure about long term living in this, but this is beyond great for adventuring. One idea/suggestion for an upgrade option feature could be a small projector in the ceiling at the end of the skylight, that can be closed flush and be hinged to pop open to point at the back wall. What was under the bench area though? And I think the only two critiques I can think of are:
A) Put the oven where the Xbox was instead, so it is set slightly higher for practical use and central for food preparation.
B) I would highly advise forced cool air circulation for the enclosed storage area intended for the entertainment electronics like the Xbox.
@richard harrison jesus f’ng christ, relax goddammit!
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.
It was built for a client so i guess He/she was happy with that.
Yeah, it's a little too sterile for me, but to each his own. It is very cleverly designed.
Is it dangerous to not have a back exit when inside ie: fire in middle front area?
Gorgeous!! Probably already know this but always rinse off (outside if you have) just prior to getting into your rv shower. We have so much skin cells that fall off everyday so rinse please. Oh 1 more thing make sure to wash your pillows as well as your pillowcases and bed sheets at least every week. Here's why. every night your bed is collecting about 300,000 dead skin cells. They continue to accumulate until you wash your sheets yuk lol
This guy, as always, is killing it with his genius ideas
Masterfully thought out stealth camping van build. This presents very close to the ultimate that can be done within a very small space.
The only design decision that I object to is the human waste-handling arrangement, since it puts the solid part that will produce methane into the dump rather than recycling it back into crop production. Also, we are imminently going critical, not only in regard to climate, but also, to a global shortage of phosphorus. This makes urine a valuable resource. We will soon require soil nutrient management sophistication provisions on par with systems integration achieved in this build.
I only point this out, because I am so impressed by Brandon's capabilities as a designer and doer. This relates to my opinion that the urban infrastructural landscape requires major upgrades in order to to enhance all aspects of sustainability. While being compelled to muddle along as best we can with what is already here, we must provide for much more sophistication supporting sustainability when providing for growth. I want to encourage him and others with his capabilities to expand the scope of their interests to broader concerns.
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.
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.
Let’s gooooo!! 🎉 Conversion looks awesome.
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!
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!
This is perfect, because no kitchen. People, nowadays we have shops, restaurants, bars everywhere, even in bush. More important is just to have comfortable workspace, bed, shower and toilet. 100% you can live there for months, working and traveling.
Wow - I would love to live in a van like that!
Incredible build
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.
This build is absolutely amazing! I would want him to build my van, if I could afford him.
Brilliant work. I just wish you had all windows all sides around the bed area.
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.
They did an excellent job on this stealth van. The windows are incredible! Kudos to BuckSD!
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 ! 😊

This build probably is the best van conversion. I've been watching TH-cam videos for years about class B RVs because I'm considering retiring. Well, there is always a question in my mind about the cooktop and the fridge size. The second cooktop is probably unnecessary because the fridge can't store many groceries and meat.
Perfect EXEPT for the Ram Van!
What a beautiful build, and it's so stealthy, amazingly beautiful.
I think the van is next level and close to perfection. My only "complaints" with the van is a dinning area (I guess people are supposed to eat at the desk in this van?), and potential more sleeping areas (for friends/ kids etc.). Given how smart the water and electricity designs are, how chic and customer experience focus it is, this is truly unbeatable!
🙄 Kids? Guests? Get an RV.
This is my dream vehicle if I were wealthy and bored. Very impressive. Easily my favorite build of all time.
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....
🤣
Bucks builds are Awesome! And it was nice chatting with you & your Dad at the new england van expo!
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...
I love this design so much it looks so clean and still has all the amenities you would need
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.
