That’s bad ass!😊😊 I want the big sky moonroof thing so I could climb on to the roof from the inside. Also being alone I could speak to anyone that’s outside the van safely if it were night or I’m just uncomfortable! Nice build!
5 days of battery but only ice cubes and popsicles in the freezer. Every single build I’ve seen need a larger freezer, and could also use a larger fridge.
@@DJ_TTC8Which is funny cuz if I wanted to live in a van, I'd definitely want to store up on frozen goods so I can actually stay out at places longer without fearing it spoiling in 3 days
I love the use of eco flow but the battery layout I feel is a little messy. make a frame put 2 on the bottom 2 on the top inline and the fuse panel facing the back. that would make a much more usable garage and easier to service. but great van seen in person lay outs great fit and finish is amazing keep it up
Love the tilt up bed but I would say the sections where the uppers are, be able to tile the bed more to sit more upright to look towards the front of the van, and also to enjoy the view out of the back of the van.
Thanks! Yes the bed could tilt up higher. I think it was on the lowest setting in the video. If the client wants it, we can also tilt it the other way too.
Awesome build guys, three questions for you. AWD or 4x4? How does it do in the sand? There are NO videos online of the all-wheel-drive system in sand. There are only 4x4 videos. I’m curious how the van handles (without rear locker) What are you using to charge the battery bank other than solar and shore power? The EF alternator charger will take days to replenish your massive battery bank! What’s your special sauce? Lastly, why Webasto over Espar? Again awesome build cheers 🙌🏼
Hello and great questions. The van we have here is a 2024 AWD 144WB. We had some pretty deep sand getting there, and this cruised through easily with the tires aired down. Most people prefer the AWD over the 4x4, which was discontinued since the 2023 Sprinter. Overall, the AWD drives a lot better, has better fuel efficiency, and is more user friendly, but the 4x4 still holds a special place for serious off-roaders. The EF charges 1.1 kwh hour through the alternator, so less than 15 hours on it alone. As for Webasto / Espar - we choose Webasto because it has a HQ in the US, it's widely used in the marine world, which means easy access to parts & servicing, and we are also certified Webasto installers. Hope that helps!
@@brooklyncampervans Thank you for this information! 15hrs, I think we can see the aspect EF overlooked. Still 1.1 kwh is better than EF 800w. If you find yourself on the beach again, you folks should make a video of deep sand crawling in the AWD. Cheers!

5'8". The interior height is 6'2", and the bed is 6'6" in length. We also add a lot of insulation under the floor and above the ceiling. Since these are custom vans, if the client wants to sacrifice some insulation for more height, we can accommodate that.
Nice! 👍🏼 When I’m an able, I’ll be contacting you!
Sounds good Ken! Happy to chat through everything with you any time!
You had me at Batman
Haha! Mission accomplished

Thanks Lily!! Yes we add a big skylight on some of our builds. You could go through it onto the roof deck.
Brooklyn does it right!! My van build is going to require a small built in pizza oven. Hope you can make that happen!
We can look into it! That's awesome.
5 days of battery but only ice cubes and popsicles in the freezer. Every single build I’ve seen need a larger freezer, and could also use a larger fridge.
But you didn't build anything. Stop hating
The garage is massive and there’s plenty of battery to run a portable chest freezer. Problem solved.
Van life people don’t eat frozen food lol

Vanlife people like me go to restaurants!!! 😂😂😂 @@DJ_TTC8
Crazy build! I need this
Thanks Logan!!
Wow awesome van and cool video on the beach! 🎉

I agree. It suits the Batman theme
Love the van
Haha, thank you, looks like our internal name is way catchier than the name we had "The Modern Van"
tanta roba ragazzi, davvero complimenti!
Grazie mille!

Awesome one of the best I have ever seen 👍🏾👌🏾

Love everything in the van that’s my dream van when I get ready I’ll be contacting you guys
Sounds good, we'll be here!
I have some Owl products on my van but my back door rack base is from Avatar Offroad. They don't get enough love on these Van build videos.
Atwoli's voice to the world haha
Haha! I'm impressed you recognize it!!
Dope build guys, and feast video. Appropriatly named van haha. Great job!
Thanks David!! Appreciate it. Hope you're well.

@@brooklyncampervans All good to know, but knock off a few inches on that 170WB. It's a very nicely laid out 144.
@@johnclark3436 oh yeah thanks for correcting the typo, I just edited my comment. Appreciate it.
Was there a 2nd alternator?
How many days can you use the AC with this amount of batteries? And is it really helpful for hot weather?
Hey Shan, you can run that AC constantly up to 48hr with 15000wh battery, and it works really well, especially in hot, humid weather.
Amazing van guys, i have a question, what shower cubicle do you use? And what is the name of the shower curtain/screen
Hey Alex, we use the Nautilus shower door, and we have our metal pan on the floor custom made by Our Way to Roam!
With a dark color is it warmer in summer?
It's pretty heavily insulated, so there's not really much of a noticeable difference. The AC is always on too.
@brooklyncampervans I am super curious how did you do the starlink mount ontop of the AC? Does it affect the AC performance at all?
We custom welded a bracket and it does not interfere with the AC at all!
Awesome build! I gotta ask, how does it do in the sun? I'd imagine that with all that black it would heat up quite a bit!
Thanks! And totally fine, plenty of insulation and climate control options.
nice but the question is, how do you put that bike on that rack?
thanks! we usually bring it up with a telescoping ladder stored in the van
Amazing! One of the best builds I've seen. Curious what camera system you've used? Did you connect the cameras to an NVR or direct to the display?

Weird that the monitor for the security cameras is inside a cabinet.
Hey there, it can be moved from where it docks. We have it on the wall for some layouts, but generally clients prefer to keep the walls minimalistic.
Is it available in Australia?? 😮
It can only be sold here, but you can then ship it to Australia
Do you have a full list of everything you use?
You can see the full list of specs on our website under "The Modern Van"
Which wheelbase is this? Thanks
Hey there, this is the 144WB Sprinter
How tall is the guy in the van? I'm 6'3" and he makes the van look huge.
5'8". The interior height is 6'2", and the bed is 6'6" in length. We also add a lot of insulation under the floor and above the ceiling. Since these are custom vans, if the client wants to sacrifice some insulation for more height, we can accommodate that.
What is the name of the walkable solar?
Hey Cody, they're from Custom Marine Products
Ima guess $250k.
The fact you haven't called it the Batvan is sad news
Haha, didn't even think about it until now! You're right
