Custom Sprinter Van Rocker Lockers. Extra Storage for the Van!

[@ClarityOffGrid]

We've finished our Blue/Grey Sprinter build and have been out traveling for the better part of a year, but we just had to come over to your channel and check out the progress. We'll probably not install a rocker locker, but we still love your videos. They are so clever and fun to watch. If we do decide to add locker, we'll know who to contact. Keep making great videos. We send folks to your channel all the time because your DIY videos are the best! Cheers, Kristina & Matt

That sounds like the dream! Progress has been slow as we’ve been ramping up the parts we offer that’s been taking a lot of time away from the van build but also helping to support the expense 😅. I’m probably planning on filming a bit less and just finishing up to get things ready for the spring time. Hopefully the weather cooperates this year last year every weekend it rained from November to March. Was sunny during the week while I had to go to work of course…. 🙄 Where have you been traveling and what are some of your favorite spots so far? Thanks again for the continued support and sending people our way!

@@moonrakerdesign We understand the challenges of weather and van builds. After selling our first van, a 136 Promaster, we purchased a new 2022 Sprinter. We had waited for months for a Transit Trail we ordered, but finally threw in the towel and found a Sprinter in the next town over. Phew! That was a fortunate moment for us. We bought the Sprinter in October, which meant a winter van build in Colorado at 7500ft - no heated garage or workshop, and the van doesn’t fit in the garage. 

 Matt finished it enough for us to travel to Texas for the Solar Eclipse this April. From there, we traveled through the desert SW and then up to the Oregon Coast. We just returned from a nearly three-month trip to the Eastern Sierra, a return to the Oregon coast, as well as to Glacier NP and the Badlands, to name a few. 

 We love exploring our country, but there is a special place in our hearts for Baja and mainland Mexico. We were new to KZbin and van life then, and still figuring things out. We still go back and watch those videos - pure magic. You can find all of our travels on our channel. 

 Thanks for continuing the conversation. Your videos helped us in many ways. Even though we’re done with our Sprinter build, I always get a laugh from your clever videos. I hope you continue making videos once you’re out in your van.

[@nictones]

Yup. Take my money. Clean as always.

[@moonrakerdesign]

Thank you! Happy to do so when things are ready ;)

[@RobinsonMastering]

Great work. Please make em!

[@moonrakerdesign]

Thank you! I’m definitely thinking about it. Lots of extra logistics involved when making them for others in terms of getting documentations or manuals together.

[@robertludwig5308]

And again you maid my day ❤ I would definitely get your rocker locker on my rear end 😂

[@moonrakerdesign]

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the continued support Robert, it really is appreciated!

[@OldExodus]

This is way better design and product than what’s out there. The raptor liner would be a great addition. Maybe an LED light as well.

[@moonrakerdesign]

Oh dang I love the idea of the LED light that turns on when the door opens 👏👏👏! Thanks for the kind words!

[@JeremiahSenn-ks1zs]

Uh, yes, please. Love it. Perfect spot for a spray off hose.

[@moonrakerdesign]

Exactly, spray hoses, air hose, recovery gear! All the things that don't really store well inside the van!

[@AndersonJay07]

Excellent work as always! I admire the attention to detail, and I’d definitely consider picking up a pair of these if you decide to market them!

[@moonrakerdesign]

Hey Jay, thanks for the comment and the encouragement! Thinking about doing a small run. I think I want to switch to an actual template trying to make it so it’s super easy and foolproof to install because it’s actually a lot of measuring and positioning to get it right at the moment. Best thing to do is sign up for the out of stock reminder on the website to stay notified!

[@robertludwig5308]

U rock 😮

[@SprinterMike]

Awesome! I want some! 🙋‍♂️😮

[@moonrakerdesign]

Hopefully can get these coming soon to everybody!

[@raphaelliu68]

Nice product. Definitely want it. signed up!

[@moonrakerdesign]

Thank you for the support and the kind words I really appreciate it!

[@tullynation]

Please make these for the 170! I love that they are clean with no visible studs (you excepted of course) or branding.

[@moonrakerdesign]

lol! 😂. I have to get to commercialized for 144 first, but yes this is my long term plan. It’s quite a bit different building one set for my van and giving people enough of a product/instructions they can do it themselves.

[@tullynation]

@@moonrakerdesign You already have the video tutorial (instructions) made! So 1/10th of the way there! I'm keeping my fingers crossed it works out for you (read: me) though, and won't be installing any existing boxes until I can get by hands on the Moonrakers! Please don't delay: I need a place to stash full doggy poop bags when I head home from the trails! Until then, I'll continue to stick them under the windshield wiper... but man, that can get dicey when the automatic rain sensor kicks in...

[@moonrakerdesign]

@@tullynation I wish it was that easy :) But thank you for the support and encouragement. Actually the doggy poop bags is a pretty good use case for it actually! Never even thought of that. On my drivers side I put the shore power in there so the cable and the plug fit in there perfectly.

[@_DarkDwellings]

Quality content and rhymes as always!

[@moonrakerdesign]

Thanks for the continued support my friend. Much appreciated!

[@AllenKrughoff]

Signed up for the waitlist - any chance you'll end up making another batch? I jussssst decided not to put on the Agency 6 ones sitting on our shelf because the latch was going to rattle my brains out.

[@moonrakerdesign]

Hey Allen, thank you for the kind words. I do plan to but it’s probably going to be a while, unfortunately. I need to get this first batch wrapped up then give it some soak time to collect any feedback to roll into the production batches.

[@LenseEnvy]

Signed up for one if you decide to hit production!

[@moonrakerdesign]

Awesome! Thanks for the support. Finalizing a few of the last details then gonna run a small batch!

[@pauldeacon-x1v]

yup need me two of these please

[@moonrakerdesign]

Thanks for the support! Working through the customer facing details like instructions and better templating and such!

[@pauldeacon-x1v]

@@moonrakerdesign Todd great - I have sent you a note on sprinter source and on your site so so hopefully you have me on the first batch ...

[@1336Studios]

would absolutely buy from you!

[@moonrakerdesign]

Thanks so much for the support that means a lot to us 🙏

[@1336Studios]

@@moonrakerdesign actually, would this design fit the regular 170? Not sure how different the tail ends are on the different WBs

[@ziasiddique1800]

Again, please let me know when you decide to make and sell these!!

[@moonrakerdesign]

For sure! Best way to be notified is on the out of stock reminder on the website.

[@benrowe681]

We really wish someone made these in Europe / UK :( for LWB

[@moonrakerdesign]

Is LWB - long wheel base?! I'll work on trying to find someone to distribute stuff over there. Happy to ship overseas as well which is actually not to bad for smaller parts.

[@benrowe681]

@ hey ! Yes sorry LWB we so that instead of 170/150 over here lol I’m sure there’s a few company’s over here that would do that there’s nothing over here like that apart from a round boat hatch they looks soooo good too love your videos and appreciate you’re reply brother 🙌🏻

[@mrfish270]

Hey Todd, Would you consider listing the parts needed (PEM, hinge, etc) to build the locker rocker? I'd be happy to buy a pair from you (I'm on your notification list) but I could build them myself, leveraging your research and experience. I'm building my 2023 up in Petaluma.

[@moonrakerdesign]

Sure you can send me an email and I’ll provide the HW I used.

[@ndraju]

@@moonrakerdesign Can you add me to that email - I am also signed up for a set once you make them but also have some other projects in mind - thanks in advance - I already emailed you a few days ago

[@fernarango]

Great videos! As always very educational. Thank you. Do you consider making this awesome lockers for the Sprinter 170 Extended?

[@moonrakerdesign]

Hey thank you I appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately to really mock them up and design them I would need a Sprinter 170 extended I can take a look at. I made the 144 Rockers because I have the van sitting in my driveway lol.

[@fernarango]

Thank you for your reply Todd. I will be starting my build in couple weeks. If in the near future you have the opportunity to make it I definitely buy from you.

[@renzo9689]

Hey Todd, what would be the best way to get on the guinea pig list to test out one of these from your beta batch? I'd love to buy one from you

[@moonrakerdesign]

Hey there's been an overwhelming amount of interest in the project and I've been behind on bringing it together. I have a newborn at home that's sucking a lot of my time and trying to make progress on the van in parallel. It is coming, but it might take a bit more time for me. I hope you understand and thanks for the support!

[@renzo9689]

Congratulations dude! Family always comes first. Hope mom and baby are doung well✌️

[@moonrakerdesign]

@@renzo9689 thank you! We are doing well and getting the hang of it!! No instruction manual for these things!

[@Mjdi]

Let me know if you sell these too!

[@moonrakerdesign]

For sure, I'm going to do a small BETA run here next month to get feedback and see if I need to make any changes to templates and instructions.
