BEAST MODE | 4x4 Sprinter Camper Van Custom 4wd Overland Mercedes Build VAN LIFE

[@temp4now]

That was one of the best van setups I have seen. The owner seems super nice. I wish him the very best with his adventures.

[@onionhead5780]

Finally someone installing a water fill with a lock. Intelligent decision in this time of human indecency.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Yes. Recommended

[@martinr4884]

So sad that you should have to think this way ... :(

[@rubeclayton8233]

Yeah... and a gun safe.

[@araps]

Jetski has the best van setup and he can now do custom builds for anyone who is interested and likes his style!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Never heard

[@bigdrob54]

Awesome, almost has a military look! Love the full bathroom and WOW someone finally showing a regular type fridge installed instead of a cooler type of fridge!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you 😊

[@mogdaboi]

Nice humble chap, and amazing van. Very impressed UK guy here 👍🏽👍🏽

[@flybyairplane3528]

PATRICK, Hello, as soon as I saw this rig, I knew that the ONLY THING MB, was the BODY & Engine, MBs 4wd, is made by an outside company, warranted by MB, so this had larger tyres, & the LIFT was wonderful , now THIS IS A RIG, nothing I see that I don’t like , great interview Cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for checking this one out

[@kathryntaylor4608]

So glad you said a van build is never done. I agree with you. Thanks to Jesse

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

True, never complete

[@suzannecranford6819]

I love the wood, it's beautiful. You really do have everything you need. Great conversion.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

We agree!

[@juniortupai8049]

Love this layout. I’m shocked that you’ve even been able to even fit a toilet/ shower with it being a SWB van! 👍🏾👌🏾🙌🏾

[@marcomcdowell8861]

Creaky floors give it character like a old house. And no one sneaking up on you while you're sleeping lol

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

True. Good point

[@LifeinCamoMedia]

I thought the same thing...it really felt like a home!!

[@stonedog23]

Nah, those creaky floors were annoying just on mic for this tour. They were as loud as his voice.

[@fahadyounus1]

Having a huge countertop and being a chef goes perfectly well. Explains the reason for giving it most of the space in the van. Lovely interior. Thank you Patrick 👍🏻

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

We agree!

[@rosett3487]

Thank you for all the information about your Van. You shared a lot and I appreciate it. I really liked the outside of the van and how rugged it looked. Really nice. The inside was setup so nice and easy too. Enjoy your home and travels.

[@oanab8051]

I'm in love. I even love the way the floor creaks! Just clean and cosy. Great work.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you like it!

[@GuyCruls]

the bathroom abutting the bed creates a nice corner, emphasising the two spaces - front and back. the van has a cosy feel to it.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for checking this one out

[@laurarusso551]

Awesome build... He should think about putting cargo nets up over the bed. Super cute guy with a great outlook on fun! Thx patrick!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Oh yes, great idea 💡

[@vagabonddeesadventures8491]

Awesome van and a great guy! All that wood is amazing. Must cost as much as a house but he loves it and that’s what’s important. Good luck on your travels.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for checking this out

[@linacabrera3172]

Very nice!! You have all the main things. Enjoy it, and God bless you!!

[@LifeinCamoMedia]

LOVE this van. Especially the flat green wrap and wood interior. Great tour!!

[@SN-qu2gz]

Come on Patrick, why did you have to show me this thing.? I'm never going to be the same after this.. wow.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Oops 😬

[@triciac4240]

Wow! Badass bomb indeed! I have rig envy. You've sure upped Tourig's, et al biz after this show! Thank you. This is perfection...every detail and the health minded aspects as well. Rory too!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you Tricia.

[@freeinFL]

It’s an awesome adventure rig but those squeaks would drive me crazy. Good to know not to use residential hardwood flooring in a vehicle. Thanks for the great tour!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

You bet!

[@johnettew3957]

This van has everything! Wow!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@stevenmc56]

I love the oven!

[@johnwang9914]

That's a Naturehead composting toilet. It's what's called an urine diverting dry earth toilet and the fan is to ensure aerobic bacterial action instead of anaerobic which is what you'll get with a black water toilet. Aerobic decomposition doesn't smell but aerobic action does. Keeping the compost turned and the fan going and no objectionable odours will form. The peat moss is also optional after first being set up as rather than emptying the bucket, you can empty half of the bucket and the partially decomposed waste remaining will do what the peat moss was intended for, this will also help carry the desired aerobic bacterial culture. Of course, such a toilet is a living toilet so if the van is in constant use as a home then great, but if it"s to be unused for any period of time, the toilet should be emptied, scrubbed out and restarted with peat moss when you do decide to continue using it. There are three well knien commercial urine diverting dry earth toilets, Natureshead, Airhead and C-head, both Natureshead and Airhead run about a thousand dollars each, the C-head runs about $500 but is essentially a 5 gallon bucket, a funnel to divert the urine, a hand crank and a normal toilet seat. You can easily make one yourself.

[@lauratibbles6598]

I think this is a great build he’s kept it simple but it’s thorough he has everything you need thank you for sharing

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

You bet

[@stevenannett1739]

Such a cool van and love that its 4 wheel drive

[@Just.Ashley.S]

It’s a cabin on wheels. I love it 🤗

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Yes! Thank you!

[@piplup10203854]

Dang this van is incredible! I love the interior look a lot and I’m super glad to see dual swivel seats I feel that really is a must. I never use an oven so I would take that out personally for maybe a lounge bench for a second bed with more storage or a larger swivel table for like an office or dinette :)

[@seawaynebowpeacecoralsea5834]

Nice van. Very well done and a lot of good work has gone into the vehicle. A lot of people are commenting and wishing you well. So am I. What I have noticed is that you have pipes with water and electrical equipment in a situation where one day inevitably something is going to get punctured , broken or will come loose. My opinion is that the inverter should be put somewhere else away from those water pipes that appear to be over the top of it. It all improves with time but I’m sure others will comment and you will find a better place for the inverter. All the best in 2021. It will be the new decade..

[@JohnVigg]

I love this van. Mine is often confused for his, people are constantly texting me that they’ve seen me and it took a while to figure out this is the van they are referring to. Two things though, that propane storage is quite scary!! I’d also move the inverter and water lines away from each other. Especially since there are connections made right above it. Keep up the great videos.

[@LucasHenrique-te5sp]

One of the bests i've ever seen

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Yes, it’s really cool

[@KWicksable]

Uniquely done; very creative and efficient. I admire your van.

[@TheWoodensong]

Thanks Jesse, and Patrick as well…nice rig! ~ ~ ~ Yee-Haw, Y'all!!! This is "Ol' Scooter"…signing off from the piney Woods of East Texas!

I love your lay out and this van is 😎. I’m so looking for a van!

[@not_just_a_pretty_face]

finally a layout that I love! I would just add a small camping washing machine somewhere.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you Susanna

[@vinoto]

Perfect build, cool guy, only thing missing is a cameo from the pup 🐶

[@joeperry9589]

Beautiful build! I’m going crazy with the creaky floor boards though.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Its the old world character.

[@nicolemoore8120]

Wow wow wow, that’s a super sweet van Jesse! Drive it out to Cali for a surf with me! Thanks for sharing Patrick

[@Cassandra321]

I have a Great Dane named Rory and she is also my baby. GREAT VAN.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Oh wow nice 👍🏽

[@johnswick4593]

The first thing I noticed was the PEX plumbing directly above the inverter. It would be bad enough to spring a leak, let alone have the water take out the inverter as well. I would move the inverter away from potential exposure to water. Otherwise, a nice van

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for the feedback

[@gypsydal]

I love the creaks....gives it a really homely sound ❤️ This van is awesome!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

I wonder how much weight is in that van... But good looking van... the Van's name should be squeaky patavan... at least no one can sneak on him while he's sleeping. So safety should be good for him. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁

[@Michaelw777.52]

Wow. Just wow.

[@carlapierle8623]

I understand the need to vent the bed but I'd also be worried about the heat and cold coming up through those slats. Other than that I think this is a great layout. Agree with needing more storage for clothes.

Really nice build! I want a 10" screen on my dash too but I keep telling myself that a thief is going to be able to see that massive screen from outer space and come jack it.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

The whole screen is removable for security

[@sammic974]

Nice van but I was curious as to why the propane was inside the van when cupboard space is at a premium? Surely the garage was plenty big enough to put the tank in, and a bit safer?

[@timgoodsell4053]

Neat but my problem with these vans is that they’re so damn tight in the interior. I looked at a million of these but decided to go the travel trailer route for more room and put in an order for the new Airstream Basecamp 20x for delivery this spring. I live in northern Wisconsin so didn’t order from Patrick but it was his detailed review of the 20x that sold me. Good video as usual.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for checking this out. Good luck with the Basecamp 20x purchase

[@nomadicfoodie6286]

I love the flex of a trailer and especially the tow vehicle flex, but prefer the capacity to upstakes and drive off in a van - bed to steering wheel in a minute for security reasons. Each to their own.

Really neat rig, I like the fit/finish details on the cabinets like the leather drawer pulls...nothing to get snagged on. Two points for Jesse: 1) Serious foul not offering a beer at the start and 2) You CAN use magnets in this van, just screw (or glue) a fender washer anywhere you want a magnet to stick, you already have screws in the wood anyway right?
