Shaiden and his company Mothership Vans have absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one! One of the most kitted out, LUXURIOUS van's I've ever seen! This 4x4 Sprinter Vans exterior is fully equipped with 150,000 lumens of light, bumpers, walkable solar panels on the roof rack and more!
The interior is no different, with room to sleep four adults, a pop up shower, and a fully separate and waterproof gear closet. I hope you enjoy this tour!

I think this has to be the most thoughtfully designed adventure van I've seen in 5+ years, & the craftsmanship & attention to detail are amazing
Fully agree, there was not an inch of wasted space, nor was there a drop in quality anywhere in the van!
Really impressive build. One amenity that I have yet to see in a van build is Steam Closet.
"thoughtfully design? " i mean esthetic wise is good bot lots of wasted space and no toilet but still nice for city space living..
I agree! I’m afraid to ask the cost as I want one! 😊
@@c00ldud3 Did you just skip through the video? There's a Laveo dry flush toilet.
This Is one of the best vans I've ever seen, genius design, so many features and solutions i'd never thought about, this has so much practicality and everything is so well thought out, I love the easy to use and dispose toilet, the shower solution, the hot water solution , the heavy duty Solar Panels and all the Electrical redundancy systems, in actual fact there's just to much to take in :) everything he mentioned was a "wow that's clever " moment !!....he should be very proud of his problem solving, skillful design and quality finish .....the only disappointment is as an Expat living in France, i'll never be able to get my hands on such a wonderful Van...Thank you Nate for bringing us another wonderful video.
Thanks for watching Mark! I agree on everything you’ve said above, simply WOW.
Website says $300k - $450,000 for conversions!!! 16:21 Exposed pocket holes? So much attention to detail but then they leave those, interesting. Imagine that ski trip with friends (presumably people in their 50s who have the cash for this ) sharing this space...doesnt sound comfortable. Especially since you could all fly first class and eat fancy meals at a luxury ski resort for a month (every year for probably 25 years) before you catch up to the price of purchasing, fueling, maintaining, and insuring this beast.
we just came from a 4 day ski trip in Park City/Deer Valley on a relatively low budget for the area. Cost me about $10K. stayed in an older, relatively inexpensive condo, took public transit, flew on points for free. The 'wealthy' people spend about 2-3x that much on accommodations alone. secondly, you have no idea how people in their 50's value their money. To some, this kind of van can be a fun way to travel around for 2-3 years, and then sell it the way you would sell a toy or an old bike. I agree that you would probably not see 4 people living in this van full time, but if there happens to be a guest who wants to stay over, or one of the grandkids, the option is there. there is a market for everything, and i bet this van will sell quickly. Shaiden seems to know what he is doing.
Careful, don't wake them up out of their dream 😅
Seriously what type of a moron would pay for a van that costs that much? You’re deficating into a plastic bag and showering in a condom. You can’t even stand up. Those “blackout” window coverings don’t blackout the light emanating from within the van.
That is a different perspective , good comment
😮
I have to agree with the comments. This van build is really over the top. From the bed design to the shower to the plexiglass glass over the power system and beyond. This is really one of the best if not the best designs I have seen. Great job and thank you for the video.
Absolutely agree, the finish detail work is absolutely incredible and well thought out. Thanks for watching!
This is the best van build I've ever seen.
Agree, thanks for watching!
So many smart, practical ideas. Dedicated space for the coffee maker. Vertical gear garage in the back. Dedicated trash chute so you don't have bags of trash inside the cabin. Large lounge area with bed lift (since you won't use both at the same time). All that reclaimed space from not including a full, standup shower. Insulated shelves for glasses. The list goes on and on.
One thing I do question however is how sharp those cabinet corners and edges are. They look very sharp in the video, which wouldn't be fun to bump up against. Also, the overhead bed appears to significantly lower available head room when using the lounge area, which might not be comfortable for tall owners (the kitchen area appears to be normal height).
I don’t usually go for hide-away showers, but this one I could live with. I also love the bamboo cupboards. What I am concerned about are the countertops. Unless they are made of NASA grade super durable laminate that I have yet to hear about, I don’t think they will last with me with my hot pots and my invariably wet bottomed dishes.
Agreed, that pop up shower looks very useful! We have filmed many vans with varying types of laminate and they do hold up well over time! Thanks for watching!
This is absolutely amazing build, smart solutions, beautiful materials and great layout.
100% agree, thanks for watching! :)
it is really practical i saw several van but i think that it is the one that i like the most and another one that he himself presented at the edge of the beach i am senegalese and i would like to know how much to have this kind of van thank you
The layout is amazing. I love the huge open space!!
It truly is incredible, thanks for watching!
Gorgeous van, and most importantly it’s practical!! Great job mothership!!! 😍😍😍
Absolute masterpiece, agreed! Thanks for watching :)
Truly!!!
nice van. i like how it has multiple built-in ways to go do yoga on the roof
Cool! And FINALLY a feature I’ve always wanted! The ability to dump my grey tank to discourage tailgaters. 👍🏽💙
What an incredible build!
Heated floor Korean tradition 4 thousands years
Amazing AMAZING BUILD!! WOW!!!
Agreed! Absolutely amazing - thanks for watching :)
Best van build I’ve seen. Great work!
Agreed - and thanks for watching!
Perfect design.
It truly is incredible, functional yet luxurious!
Someone needs to do a rooftop deck that’s fully functional, meaning making it fall proof, with a built in slide. This build is amazing and innovating! Love the garage!
Very clean
One of the cleanest!
Been following for a while, now subscribed. From South Africa
Glad you are here, and enjoyed the video!
No toilet? 😢
I think this is a really cool design. I like how the bed comes down from the ceiling. I wish more would do this but on the other hand if it ever broke I’d probably have no idea how to fix it
11:36 Toilet! He just didn’t pull it all the way out. I am kind a curious how the shower works or used. I’ve been a few vans and shower space sometimes sucks!
@@Erin-Thor Ok I missed that. A dry flush toilet. Still I'd rather have a black tank toilet.
I agree. Showers are generally useless. Takes up too much water, too much propane to heat, and too much space that could be used for something else. Just a toilet and sink is all I want.
I have a shower in my 25 foot motorhome and I used it once out of curiosity. I am 6 feet tall and I fit. A very tight fit so not something I would want to take a long shower in. But ultimately I would only use it to get sand off my body after a day at the beach. And at that point I would rather have an outdoor shower. Just a hose that pops out somewhere on the outside.
@@milantiquestudios7460 - I’m considering an RV, went to a few RV shows, and very few showers were acceptable. I get the using less water part, shorter showers are no big deal. Keep in mind too he said in this video that they use the engine to heat the water, and store it in an insulated tank that should keep the water hot for 2-3 days. That is very cool! 👍🏼
@@Erin-Thor Oooo. I love my RV so I highly promote getting one. Is this going be your first or an upgrade of your last?
I agree. The hot water thing is a wicked cool feature and a lot better than my water which stays hot for like an hour or so. I am amazed at the creativity and skill that goes into some RVs. European and Japanese ones are out of this world.
But so I don't give you the wrong idea of RVs keep in mind, I am a boondocker. I go to a campground every 3 days or so just to dump my tanks and refill my water and electricity. Which means I don't plug my water in to shower. It uses my tank so I have to be more conservative about how I use my water.
Also I have an Anytime Fitness membership so I shower at the gym. And Anytime fitness is everywhere so even if I can't find one near me, there is usually one 30-45 min away at most.
So my opinion on RVs in general is based on how I live in mine and the limitations of mine. While I see a lot of youtube RVers put a lot of time and money in their bathrooms which end up looking amazing. But they also use their showers more than me.
@@milantiquestudios7460 - My parents had a class A, and I used to have an Airstream 23FB years ago, but it died. I’d love one of these, mind if I ask a ballpark price?
This van really appeals to my OCD.
"Luxury" table that bends when you put your hands on it.
"This is in celcius unfortunately". Not unfortunately, it's the real deal ;) Nice job shaiden! What an amazing build. Keep up the good work!
Agreed, Shaiden’s work is incredible!
Amazing
Agreed!
They sure have changed. I bought an older dodge in the 90's for 300 bucks. I put around a thousand into it of second hand and homemade stuff. hahaha !! I'll bet I had just as much fun. :) :)
Oh how the times have changed, right?! Awesome you enjoyed that truck of yours!
@RandyRides...omg such a cool story 😎
Very sleek❤ and few girlie touches and it will be perfect for me 😉
Hi there, it's definitively one of the best production vans I've ever seen.
Just wondering what LED strips you used as they look really bright & thick. Also are they bi-color? Many thanks
Very nice
Absolutely agree!
really cool
It is such an incredible build! Thanks for watching :)
have you ever considered putting a diesel apu on these for heating/cooling/battery charging redundancy
That space in the back would of been great for shower.. just open the door from the inside..than putting the shower curtain together :( .. otherwise van looks great!
Looking forward to an electric version of this!!!
Well most class b vans of this caliber are around 150-250k for you folks who don't have one yet.
Look up Storyteller Overland Stealth.
Everyone seems to kit out these 100k sprinters to vanlife nowadays. (If you can splurge for one, if not 50-80k is a good starter budget into RVs)
absolutely stunning build! Congrats!
100% agree, unreal job!
16:55 the very first Surround sound from the mid 80s is a minimum of three channels and four speakers. Modern surround is minimum 5 channels all the way up tp 12 channels and 12 speakers. What you have is Stereo sound, which in my opinion is more enjoyable, not surround. I know it isn't a big deal but why not use the correct terminology when you can.
I agree. This was a nothing build. Valentine looks tired. There's nothing fresh or new in this build.
Yes, but where do you keep the chickens? ive been told not to wagon around without them.
Hey, It looks amazing and all, but how does the shower ever get dry in there??
Love your work! To bad I live in Australia….I would have love if I had the money to let you built my van…..you are the man! All the best!
Truly an incredible van, thanks for watching!
EarthRoamer is still the ultimate VansLife experience if you can afford it 💸
decent build !
great build, who is the maker of those solar panels?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolute fire is right! Haha thanks for watching :)
check your VOLUME LEVELS!
Well bro this thing is way outta my budget lol maybe one day when I’m a bit more established as a software engineer. This thing is unbelievable! The level of imagination that went into this build is mind blowing 👀
Agreed, mind blowing imagination! Tied together so well!!! Thanks for watching 🤙🏻
WOW
That sums it up!
Now this is what I'm talking about!
Agreed - such an epic build!
What a Build...amazing
Absolutely amazing, agreed!
Ho lee khow. That's amazing.
It was even better in person!!
The Tesla flex isn't the flex he thinks it is. Great van build, though. I'd delete beds for Murphy bed from cab wall down. Love the clean look.
Lol poor deers! Sweet build tho
LOL very sweet build!
Amazing van! Which driver license would I need to drive it?
Right, it’s incredible! In the US where this van is located you don’t need a special drivers license :)
Very nice, so many ideas at play; but the price I am sure is astronomical. 🤔
So many great ideas from a build like this! Yes they are very expensive, but the quality and craftsmanship is hard to beat!
Tío eres un jodido maestro, está carabana es perfecta, el grado de detalle es increíble
100% agree, master level is a perfect way to explain it!
Excellent work Shaiden. Maybe a bit of custom trim to hide those pocket screws
Shaiden produces some absolutely incredible vans - thanks for watching!
Where do you shower or go for number 1 or 2
Whoa! That's a van I need for a trip
It would be amazing to take out!
Not bad.
Not bad at all 😊
Where is your operation located? Shipping costs? Or we have to come to your location for pickup?
they are in the San Diego, California area! :)
how much tho?
First time viewer, very very slick & modern! Looks like it would be easy to maintain?
I look forward to see what you come up with next!
Very slick and modern build, completely agree with you! Thanks for watching :)
What a build! Wish I could afford it!
Absolutely stellar build 👏🏼
How much?
I never understand how iron bumpers can be accepted for insurance coverage ? In case of accident you will do a lot of damage to the other car, van..
nice design. probably needs a bit more power, but you gotta save some $$ somewhere . . . but seriously, if someone wants to spend about $300K (I am assuming that would be the cost), why did you do the build on a 2021 van? you would think that someone who is spending that much would want a new van, no?
Mercedes stopped building 4 x 4’s. The new ones are AWD now
I’m 6’6 what are the chances there is a van out there that I could stand up in?
The ford transit has a ceiling around that height I believe!
Perfect
Utterly perfect, thanks for watching!
Brilliant.......until the toilet and shower let down the entire project. :-(
It's a design choice. It depends on the end user what their ultimate priorities. You've just stated it's not yours. Ok no problem. You could easily put a door to the garage, put a shower head and toilet in that space.
Hence the beauty of a custom made vehicle. Duh
Nice van, 6,80m or 6m?
6.8m, or a 170” wheelbase Sprinter van in the US
It looks very esthetic pleasing, but I miss storage.
It is gorgeous indeed, maybe it didn’t seem it in the video but there is loads of storage in person! :)
Take my money
Hahahaha!!! Agreed 🤣
I've been watching Shaiden from his very first video - way back when he was doing video of builds not his own. He clearly has a ton talent. I expect him to work on the toilet. I'm not acquainted with a female that will use a bucket - like this build.
He is so extremely talented! Like he said in the video, this van had a different purpose vs a full blown bathroom :)
I would never take a shower in that
Price?
$400k
Unbelievable.
Agreed, as long as you mean it in a good way ;)
@@NateMurphy absolutely!!
Very nice build. Ruined by the feeble toilet and shower location / option . Most would say this is very important. Unless you like living in a smelly box. I would totally add a mini washing machine combo in a build also.. why people don’t do this 🤷♂️
Alhamdulillah, pihak2 tertentu dah mula nak sedar yang issue Imam Mahdi ni mmg diorang cuba nak instillkan dalam subconcious mind dan juga dalam minda masyarakat, sebabtu diorang banyak upkan berkaitan imam mahdi, dan kemudiannya KPOP, dan selama ni diorang banyak sasarkan berkenaan hoodie saya pakai dan sebagainya, cara saya bercakap. Ini semua bentuk diorang punya propaganda. Saya kena jawab semua propaganda mereka satu persatu, dan kali ni mereka sasarkan berkenaan project antigravity pula, mereka tak dedahkan berkaitan dengan torture untuk teruskan project itu dan semua mereka berikan tekanan dari sudut kewangan, sumber pendapatan dan sebagainya, kemudian mereka akan bermain propaganda berkaitan dengan hacking dan ketika di thailand, perkara ini terlalu banyak sangat dan seandainya tidak dijawab ia akan jadi sama keadaan seperti di Malaysia, sedangkan di Malaysia ini semua disasarkan adalah sebab menyokong Palestine, kali ini pada pihak Palestine pula saya disasarkan atas perkara Imam Mahdi dan defamation lain. Seandainya dunia dapat lihat sebalik semua fitnah ini, pasti pihak tangan ghaib itu dapat dikendalikan dari semua sudut
Not a fan of how the toilet and bath/shower are so secondary in this build but I would probably still buy that van - very well thought out/designed. 👍🏼
For sure, give and take with this one! Extremely well designed, thanks for watching!
And…. Where does the shower water drain??? Just askin’
I believe Shaiden mentioned there’s a heated gray tank onboard so it probably drains into there somehow!
These type of builds look sleek but the're so cold. It's like living in a silicon valley office. No thanks.
It is super sleek, and I totally understand what you are saying. Maybe it comes off that way in the video but in person it feels like a high tech home on wheels :) either way thanks for watching!
@@NateMurphy 🍻 Well built, for sure. The fun of it is seeing what types of builds people prefer.
the distribution is wrong
Probably cost for fortune
nice things do these days! At least you know the craftsmanship is as good as it gets! Haha
Where do i take sh*t?
there’s a toilet, it’s shown when he gets to the “bathroom” section of the tour!
@@NateMurphy don't know how I missed that!
A great looking van build. The rich folks motto Montana will love this. But this is way over priced for what you get. Half a million for a van? Young folks do not have the capital to pay for this. I’m retired now so I full time RV in North America. My ride now is a Volvo 670 semi truck pulling a 45ft Spacecraft 5th wheel trailer. This van does not have a quarter if the luxury that my Spacecraft has. And I think this van costs more than my entire setup. No thanks to this over priced van.
garage is small
Would still take my Storyteller over this build. That garage space is way too small, roof rack is useless with all those solar panels. Looks nice tho, good luck
It’s a very nice build, the solar panels are walkable at least! thanks for watching :)
$400,000 lol
for some silly reason, i thought it was going to be affordable...
300k-450k, I could buy 2-3 revels and triple the spaces. Lmao give me a break.
Really a stunning build but sadly with no charm of a campervan at all. No disrespect❤
Stunning 100%, definitely a different style to a cozy camper van, glad you still enjoyed watching though and thanks for the comment!
8:19 what a bs you are already waaaaay too heavy to drive really off road. Imagine 8 people in there like he suggests, that adds ~ another half tons! This van wouldn't even be legal in Europe. It probably is where it's build. But good luck travelling elsewhere as it's breaking many EU laws. With this weight it needs to comply with the same regulations as a truck. And follow the same rules. Like speed limit etc. There's a reason no one else is building their van like this.
you must be fun at parties!
Are you dumb or just pretending to be dumb? We all know this is your second account. 😂@@pedropulido4570
lol. I very much doubt there would EVER be eight people in there while it's moving. Especially when there's only seat belts for two.
@@RandysRides Yeah true! Also that pedro guy I'm pretty confident it's the same guy as the creator 😅 I wrote that at his clown reply. And that reply got deleted.
he never said that there would be 8 people in the van while off-roading. what a silly comment. it can seat up to 8 people. You seem angry. it's a good thing this van is not going to be in europe. he is in the US silly.
where to poop?
Cargo vans now = millionaire toys
All that spec and style but no bathroom and no integral blinds and fly screens. Why do Americans always get those things wrong.
Build an off grid van but take a shit in the kitchen and have no space for bikes.
Far too much space given to the lounge.
I like the van, but disliked the video for the stupidly loud van build guide ad. Especially since the video audio is so quiet.
I cant understand when they say 170" !! What is the OVERALL LENGTH!!!!! Is it long or medium 😡 toilet are secondary to living and garage nah wonder uk vans are better and CHEAPER 😡 no blinds ??
In the US they have a 144, 170 and 170 extended so you can say the 170 is the medium wheelbase sprinter van! Hope that helps :)
170" is the distance between the center of the front wheel to the center of the rear wheel which is also the wheelbase. From the rear of the front seats to the rear doors is about 15 feet (if I recall correctly). Hope that helps.
Overall length is about 19 feet -- again if I recall correctly.
It's big. Not the biggest but it's still big. Won't fit in a normal parking space, underground parking lot or fit(height) in a standard 40ft shipping container. Jumping off the roof might break an ankle. Washing it might be a little difficult
@Stum8374
Seems like we had a war of independence almost 250 years which showed that we Americans don’t really care what those of you in the UK think. We’ve since bailed you out of two world wars or you would be typing in German now.
It’s not van life though is it. This is the equivalent of when music companies buy out raw musicians and make them mainstream media.
