Behind the Scenes: Building the 2024 Living Vehicle HD - Factory Tour & Upgrades Revealed

[@astromeo3467]

This is literally the perfect RV now and perfect house!!! This is literally a work of ART! I cant wait to buy one once I can afford it in a few years

[@LivingVehicle]

Thank you so much for the kind words. We look forward to having you as a customer!

[@LivingVehicle]

Keep the comments coming! Your feedback is extremely valuable and influences the design of Living Vehicle to become better.

[@bobbyhaye]

Matt said “tremendous” 27 times during this video, but he’s not wrong. Another stunner from LV! Great work guys!!

[@LivingVehicle]

Thank you for the feedback Bobby. You're right, I do tend to get some word in my head and repeat myself - as my brain goes on autopilot. Appreciate the comment and the support.

[@beaux7985]

Mathew does it again ! Raising the bar

[@LivingVehicle]

Thanks so much for the support. Stay tuned for lots more information as we provide the full launch coverage of this new model.

[@voltair92]

I love the looks of this camper i wish there would be toy hauler edition.

[@LivingVehicle]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@donovanshackelford1118]

Well done Matthew,! You hit all of the "HD Wishlist" items I had brainstormed about what I would want to modify to ruggedize the Living Vehicle. I also love the satin black walnut......you were in by brain brother! It is now the ultimate, no excuses needed. Congrats, best wishes.

[@LivingVehicle]

Thank you for the kind words. Appreciate the feedback. Let me know if there's anything you find that you would suggest we make better, or any additional comments about the design. The design solutions at LV are a collective response to our customer base. "Figure out what your market wants, make it happen, and deliver it to them in the best way possible" - Matthew

Insanely cool! WOW

Closing hatches gives off a solid sounding Mercedes level quality. Well done ! The little details tell anyone this is the best on the market .

Agreed. It gave me an ASMR feeling listening to the drawers open and close.

LOVE the bullet cameras!

[@LivingVehicle]

We do too!

[@greerdaniels2842]

Hey Mathew. Love the HD Model. Would it be possible to have the TV raise up out of the media center? I like to have the TV hidden and I have suggested in the past to have it fold down out of the ceiling just in front of the kitchen island facing the lounge and table. But, now that I see your new model, I can see how you could put a big window in the media center to look out over your view, and then have the big TV raise out of the lower part of the media center to cover the tinted window if one wants to watch TV. I would rather be able to sit and read a book and be able to look up out at a pretty view, then go back to reading than have a big TV always blocking what could have been a great view. I know you have the big sliding glass doors to look out of already, but I think the more windows the better and at that table would be perfect to fit another big window. Please consider this as I believe it would add to the functionality and comfort of the LV. It would be like turning one room into another room. A media room or a reading and meeting room for when you have guest over. That said, I love the new HD and I am a huge fan of Living Vehicle. Keep feeding us videos! And, let us see Joanna cook something in the LV kitchen sometime. I very much would like to see a video of you guys or anybody actually living in a Living Vehicle for a weekend or more to show more details of just how easy and fun it is to live the LV life! You guys are great! Cheers from SC!

[@LivingVehicle]

This is a great concept! The primary issue here is storage in my opinion. Under the TV we locate all the equipment for the media center and audio system. Once the TV lowers into the cabinet, we loose all that valuable storage space. That being said, I really like your idea and could certainly see another window at that location! When we redesign this product for the coming years, I'll certainly consider this. Thanks for the feedback! Are there any other suggestions you can offer?

[@Phil-xn3cf]

u need to get a hobby I think

[@L0rdZedd]

@@LivingVehicleI would suggest doing the window also. However delete the TV all together. Cut down on weight and free up more space. Use a pull down blackout window shade as a high quality projector screen. Pair it with a short throw projector and you can use it day and night if you want to. Something to consider perhaps.

[@mskayekitty]

Really enjoyed the video of your prior LV truck’s modifications. Will you be doing a similar video walk around with your new LV truck?

[@LivingVehicle]

We're glad you found that video informative and will consider an updated video tour for newer truck models.

[@DanielDaniel-eu9yq]

Amazing. Talk about sturdy and modern and well-thought. Almost perfect... but not because of the infloor heating which is a NO NO (this is trap for dust and debris and should be located in an interior wall-mount spot) and the dishwasher placement at the floor level (!!!). All in all, this unit is genius. Have two questions: 1) would a hydronic heated floor system be possible? 2) could cork floors be possible also? Thanks and kudos again for such craftsmanship!

[@LivingVehicle]

Thanks for the feedback! By the way, the in the floor heating was a special request from a single customer, so not a standard feature. Warm floor is already accounted for as the conditioner basement warms the air below the floor radiating upwards. Cork floor could easily be installed over the current floor material.

[@donitaarender7839]

I love it. Great quality! Thanks for sharing

[@brenchomsky3515]

TELL US ABOUT THE GRAY WATER AND THE FRESH WATER how it is being managed.

[@LivingVehicle]

All the Spa Bathroom option features are maintained with a compost toilet replacing the standard toilet. The installation of the compost toilet fundamentally redesigns the wastewater management system. Living Vehicle® converts the existing black water tank into a secondary greywater tank. This design nearly doubles the capacity of the standard gray water tank system and creates significant resource savings for traveling off-grid.

[@ArthurRondeau-me1sb]

If I had a million dollars, I’d buy this and leave it to my kids in my will! Pass it down to the family!

[@Meena-lp]

Hello Matthew, You have really achieved something wonderful, breathtaking actually.To be able to be completely off grid and moblie is just amazing.You have truly done something wonderful for all of us. I would like learn about how your water system works, do you have a video on that subject? Also what would be the minimum power our truck should have to tow this model?

[@LivingVehicle]

We appreciate your response! More information on our water generation technology can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYWxnoaHbbOendEfeature=shared

[@paulf1177]

Incredible vehicle, one slight improvement that I've seen on other RVs are vertical heating ducts. Keeps dirt and dust out of the ducts so that when it kicks on it won't blow its collection around.

[@LivingVehicle]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@raemanning4693]

This is my dream travel trailer, from. The chefs 👩‍🍳 kitchen and water purification the countless other details that allow you to be totally off grid and unplugged.

Each unit is completely custom-built and therefor, there is a great range in weight. Check out our website for more specifics: www.livingvehicle.com/

How about conversion to a portable clinic for Doctors Without Borders? They could make great operating rooms for surgery.

[@LivingVehicle]

We're open to all uses of the LVs!

[@BlckSparrow]

Living Vehicle offers an immersive travel experience. The innovative design offers a space-saving layout, maximizing comfort and convenience. The vehicle is well-equipped with modern amenities and features, such as climate control, full kitchen amenities, and beyond sustainability. Whether you're looking for a comfortable home away from home or just a home on the move, the Living Vehicle is sure to exceed expectations. I prefer the previous bedroom design layout, and it would be nice if you use the independent suspension for the hd pro model.

[@LivingVehicle]

Thank you for the comment. We are looking forward to many wonderful innovations in the coming years.

[@carmas54]

nice video, my only concern are the two hoses that roll out from within the basement...the water and electrical cord. Mice and rodents will now be able to run up those two hoses and be able to come in the RV. That's typically what happens, so if you have a way to minimize that from occurring you might want to address this in your full video.

[@LivingVehicle]

Good point! I really appreciate your attention to detail - precisely the real-world use case of how folks will be using this. Each hole has a cover over the hole itself, so when not in use, the cover is applied. In addition, when the chord is deployed, there's a smaller opening that is just big enough for the cord to escape through. I can really appreciate this concern, however. The back compartment is already a dedicated compartment - even if something gets in there, there's nowhere to go. It's completely enclosed in 1/8" aluminum. I'll do the same for the front compartment where the hose reel is located to ensure the same protection. Thanks for the feedback! Your comment is helping us make the design better!

[@carmas54]

@@LivingVehicle good just made the hole covers made out of metal because if its made out of plastic like they're usually placed in RV's the mice and other rodents will eat through it to get into food or earth.

[@carmas54]

@@LivingVehicle Also you might consider getting an articulating hitch in instead of a traditional RV . Australian trailers all have them. We were just in some BLM land in AZ and the areas to park in all had a foot dirt curb you had to drive over in order to find a spot to park. The articulating hitch would make that happen a lot easier with out the fear decoupling and having a really bad day.

[@LivingVehicle]

If you know of one that is rated for 20K Lbs, let me know!

[@LivingVehicle]

Thanks for the feedback. In all my days renovating 400+ vintage trailers from my former business, this could not be more apparent. The concern is legitimate! When pulling out the interior of completely neglected vintage Airstreams and removing the interior wall sheets, we regularly found little mice and rat colonies buried deep in the fiberglass insulation between the studs. RV owners never know what is lurking behind the walls - and like you said, it's all in the details!

[@AdventuresOfSpaceCowboy]

50 or 30 amp service? Do you still do the creative studio option with the king size bed? Could a Google Nest doorbell be used instead of the Ring? Thoughts for On board air compressor? Great rig!

[@LivingVehicle]

Thanks so much for your interest! The creative studio comes with a Queen bed standard, however, the GT series could accommodate a king bedroom and separate mobile office space. See here: www.livingvehicle.com/lt-coming-soon You could absolutely integrate the Google Nest system instead of Ring, however, that is not an addition we currently offer.

[@chas333]

Wow. Really considering a LV rather than a standard house.

[@LivingVehicle]

Many of our customers are individuals who were ready to make the change from a residential home to something that could function off-grid independently. We invite you to do the same!

[@gjohn7792]

Wow about every feature especially a basement model. What is your recommended tow vehicle? I don’t think a 3500 or 350 (1 ton) will suffice.

[@LivingVehicle]

You got it! The official vehicle for 2024 is a 4500 RAM HD - fully decked out with a host of aftermarket options, including a single rear wheel military conversion. Of course, other manufacturers like the F450 will also work wonderfully - personal preference really. We will be releasing a video highlighting this amazing new Living Vehicle truck in a couple weeks. Stay tuned!

[@nwdualsport]

Very, very nice! Just wondering about adding a small lip to the edges of all the Walnut shelves so things don't slide off while moving, rough roads, etc. Maybe it's there and I just missed it. Nice presentation!

[@LivingVehicle]

Great question! We currently have two fifth-wheel options and have an entire specialty division for custom builds. You can learn more on our website: www.livingvehicle.com/custom

[@astromeo3467]

Is there a reason the bedroom design was changed btw?

[@LivingVehicle]

Yes! First and foremost, we expanded the bedroom and changed the orientation of the sleeping space so that we could fit a king bed. Many of our customers requested more sleeping space and larger bed options. In addition, we were able to put in a completely flat floor by moving the closet adjacent to the bathroom the closet also has been expanded to 6 foot. The new design also allows for cross ventilation with windows from side to side.

[@astromeo3467]

@@LivingVehicle Ah alright! That makes sense! Will this affect the office option since the bed orientation has changed?

[@LivingVehicle]

Not at all - that option is still available, only better! The Mobile Office is now installed across the front wall of the bedroom. Allows for more light, and significantly more floor space when in office-mode!

I can always dream of owning one of these amazing trailers, perhaps some day I will if my Tesla shares go to the moon!

[@jdice6868]

I look forward to the expansion your growing business. I'm curious if demands from clients and potential clients as your success brings you attention will make it profitable to eventually design full time fifth wheel rvs w/ bunks, mid-dens or toy hauler models. It'll take time because you do things very thoughtfully, but it will be fun to watch how things unfold. Best wishes for your well deserved success with your exceptionally designed and built rvs. Edit: I am curious as to how loud the powerful air conditioning unit is. I'm not concerned with the sound on the inside, but if you aren't off-grid and it is loud on your neighbor's camp-side, it would be an issue. I imagine you've thought of this and the unit is as quiet as is possible. I do wonder if it is possible for such a powerful unit to be at a decibel level that would not disturb the neighbors though. Just a passing thought.

[@LivingVehicle]

The new mini split air conditioning system is darn near silent, both indoor and outdoors! This is a game-changer when compared this to the industry-standard, ancient style rooftop RV air conditioner (quite loud).

[@jdice6868]

[@JeremyLand]

Nicely done. This type of unit is exactly what I hope to have someday, along with an electric truck to pull it. Along those lines, I haven't made it to the end of the video, so maybe this is listed, but what kind of weight (tow and tongue) does this have? Props for the mini split. I hope those catch on industry-wide. Are the wheels independent suspension? A couple of suggestions: 1. Curt designed a system to tie trailer brakes into a tow vehicles ABS system. It's currently brand-locked, but please please please bring the tech over as soon as you can. It's a massive safety boon. 2. Have the bottom row of solar panels slide out and keep the top ones static. This can allow better water runoff.
