Very well built van, but why does the shower look like a massive gun cabinet.

[@jabreck1934]

99% of Van builds have same floor plan. If it's raining or snowing you cannot open the back doors without getting bed wet. A shower with no fan- during winter. The amount of condensation in the van will become an issue.

[@joeshmoe8952]

There’s your opportunity, invent some sort of restroom exhaust fan for all the van gurus. Might be a good investment.

[@ironpig701]

Open the max air in the van. The top of the shower was vented to let it get into van

[@jabreck1934]

@@ironpig701 yes, everyone understands how they are designed. Most people do not want to remove all of the heat in the van when taking a shower. Also: The max fan is designed to automatically close when raining.(so water does not get in) Having a dedicated fan and heating vent in shower is far superior. Obviously

[@ironpig701]

@@jabreck1934 my maxx air is designed to be used in rain. So i guess if its such a huge issue then you should market something as folks would buy it or you fail and see its not needed

[@jabreck1934]

@@ironpig701 maxx fan is the most common. I have the same one. Designed to operate in the rain? That’s just not true. The airflow does not keep water out. That is why there is an automatic rain sensor to close the fan. Even the dedicated fan in the shower lets a little water in but, it goes right on the shower pan. 10 years, full-time, in every kind of weather,

[@lagunn327]

I love the design. Personally, I would opt out of the additional seats for a larger shower and more counter space.

[@ejays2940]

I’d take it out scoot everything over and have a tv lol

[@tooshay7396]

Mee too. Or a closet

[@Carlos-ig6oo]

I would put a window in the shower somehow, looks like a safe/coffin haha. A view looking out would be nice, tinted of course.

[@this_one_guy]

I hear ya, but it's nice to finally see a build that could accommodate kids

[@gzlpete]

@@this_one_guy Yeah, they can ride, but what are you going to do with them when you get there?

[@raymondford9240]

Finish quality has to be the best I've ever seen.

[@moneypitvan6378]

I really like the foldaway bench seat. Nice for friends. That's slightly different than a linear actuator. It's a gas spring, which sort of does what an actuator does, but passively, meaning no electricity involved. Convenient devices.

[@brianemunroe]

The little finishing details are great. I esp love the removable slide-out tray mounted to the L-track..so good!

[@p.i.e.management9245]

This is TRULY the number 1 VAN ON YOU TUBE.... outside of LOUIS the Van... You guys rock... If this would be Perfect if in was in a PROMASTER... ..but we Love it..great JOB

[@StumpRider719]

Matt, what a great build. I love this Van. Titan Vans, Great Job! Thanks for sharing.

[@Aluminess]

Thanks for including us in your build!

[@RoxanaSoll]

I like the extra seating plus its foldable. Great. I also love the shower and would prefer a window to it. This layout is very practical. I love it.

[@chrisgatlin5832]

You’d be surprised how much you try to conserve on water when you’re doing full-time you’re not taking showers every day small things like windows are easy to put in also if you’re customizing your van

[@piplup10203854]

Push button locks are my favorite, I don't live in a van so perhaps it may become something tedious but for me I love them. Hidden slide drawer shelves and push button locks like that are my favorite things I would have a fan with both lol

[@liannearnote2973]

Macho macho van! Best garage I've seen. Does the shower have a clothes bar and its own dedicated fan? Forgive me if you covered that. If the shower door was lockable with an inside release it could be a safe/safe room too.

[@TitanVans]

Hi, the shower has L-track installed in it that allows you to connect all sorts of items to it, including a cloths line. No fan for the shower, it has a vent grill across the top that allows it to vent and then the main cabin fan can help to pull out moisture.

[@ironpig701]

Never seen a powder coated shower but its gorgues. The little details are fantastic like the vent slots in cabinets. Rounded corners on cabinets. And the colors go very well. A very nice rig.

[@TitanVans]

Glad you liked it!

[@kevinrichards8119]

Send one over to wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 now ,please..it’s a thing of beauty isn’t it!?

[@umiterdem2468]

In case that you are coming from other ultra-luxury caravan camper videos. Yes they have fancy looks, have luxury stuff and they can grab so much money and they are pretty wider. If you want to touch another button you have to pay another dollar. And when you drive them probably they will say ohh baby slower pls slower ...I called them Kım Kardashian. But, Look at the Titan Vans not so much not so less, exactly the true needs genuinely at your service. Lean,rock-solid, and powerful. I call Titan Vans Linda Hamilton from Terminator 2 . They protect you and are ready to give necessity when needs to. And when you drive, Titan says: Get out my way.

[@TitanVans]

Love this!

[@mikeanderson8939]

One improvement option (and the only one - 'cause you nailed it!), It looks like there's room for a larger fresh water tank... vertical space.

[@Max-Bliss]

Good design but the hot water could be electric and heat exchange system connected to the main engine cooling system so heats the water when driving, I have used this and heats water for free in 20 minutes of driving, insulation keeps it hot for over 24 hours

[@TitanVans]

Ya, we opt to not use the heat exchanger as it voids the Mercedes warranty by cutting into the coolant system.

[@ginofurio8108]

Love it, but the shower, I wish I could see an example with the gettleman inside it.

[@Vik_spb]

You should add a cutting board on the other side of a sink cover, one side is good wooden and other is plastic. so you just need to turn it around and you have a cutting board. many boats use this thing. Sorry for bad English))

[@mac22011964]

Nice but I have to say I think the European builds seem to be far better built with better finishes and much better at using the space for about the same money. Check out Kabe or RP Motorhomes.

[@paulaburnette9976]

The shower looks like a gun safe from the outaide.

[@aimlessgamre2065]

I like van builds I will love to build my self one day when I am old enough but I would want a gaming pc in it roof full of solar panels 4 tesla batterys for power washing machine/drying machine 2 in 1 if possible and kitchen for cooking making food I already got the most efficient in space planned out I bet I will be able to build it in a month cause its already planned out and I don't need to follow alot of tutorials to teach my self something so My van I want to build should go to plan and Also thanks for reading this comment and good van build love it I subbed and liked this video

[@thesmithsontour]

It's gripped! Sorted! Let's off road!

[@GX470adventure]

Probably one of my favorite designs. I could see myself wanting something very similar to this except I would want a closet for a few things for sure.

[@TheFastestSrbin]

You've nailed it! Awesome van!

[@SuperDemon1973]

Any metal will condensate and the lack of insulation over the wheel well is an issue, no extension of heating vent into the shower would be an issue if using it as a drying room i think adding the larger heater is a plaster for the lack of insulation and bare metal on display .

[@josiem1681]

This is really gorgeous. I just hate the shower it looks like a locker .

[@silverpantsblue.1780]

full time living.. we had a few guys that lived in their cars full time in the neighborhood I grew up in. My Dad called em bums. The prices on these vans.. your better off buying a house in middle America and getting a cheap 4x4 =). Great looking van though, somebody with a lot more money than me will park it in their drive way 50 weeks a year.

[@1STGeneral]

6:00 Watch your head ouch ! It looks just like my hazardous materials storage locker in the garage curious as to the color under the grey mines red

[@christieoneil9665]

Love your efficient elegant design! I assume 2 kids car seats fit comfortably and easily on the back seat? Curious about final price excluding cost of base van. It appears well insulated for 4 season use so will do well in CO. Smart to have manual awning!! This Sprinter 170 4x4 has it ALL!!

[@santaclausnm]

102K just building cost *.*

[@piotrtrocki3842]

WHERE DO THE KIDS SLEEP????

[@iantaylor2271]

Great van, well done guys superb finish. That crisp, clean finish is not easy to achieve, take a lot of planning. 👍

[@flyslinger2]

The tray would also be good for additional fridge units. Need electric plug ins back there.

[@brotherb5747]

Great walk-around, my man.

[@crippledogdude]

A drop down teak seat above the toilet would be lovey.....

[@this-is-slammin-549]

That steel shower is a total build killer. Why would you do that to such an expensive van?

[@emmcey]

What do you want it to be wood so it can break when you go off-road? This is an adventure van.

[@SuperDemon1973]

@@emmcey does the adventure include passing out from lack of oxygen and heat exhaustion from taking a shower in a diving bell ?

[@emmcey]

@@SuperDemon1973 I am sure they will be happy to build it for you with IKEA cabinetry so it falls apart when you hit a pothole.

[@SuperDemon1973]

@@emmcey well if thats testament to there build quality and or joinery skills i would urge people to steer well clear of there van builds or has everything inside the camper to be made from steel like living in a vault ?i have watched a ton of off road camper builds never seen any mention of the furniture failing or would that only happen on a titan van ?

[@emmcey]

@@SuperDemon1973 They are all made out of steel or stainless steel. I don’t understand the dislike of it. The van is made of steel isn't it? That shower is from www.vanwifecomponents.com/store/p/24-x-24-shower-with-base-angled-headliner Only the winnebago revel makes it out of particle board. And Titan Van is booked out for builds until 2022 so I think their quality must be pretty good.

[@freedomvoyageswithwendy]

You just get it....this van is perfect....

[@TitanVans]

Thanks Wendy! Glad you like it.

[@kevinrichards8119]

It’s the shower 🚿 toilet 🚽 room are little disappointing.The wooden slat base of the shower,would be difficult to keep hygienically clean,mould will start to accumulate and will smell and become unsightly...The toilet sits too low for an adult,especially if they have a joint problem.If those things could be addressed,you’ve got yourself a PERFECT VAN!!

[@TitanVans]

The lower mat is teak and is used in marine applications and consistently wet environments. They hold up very well. Appreciate the feedback on toilet.

[@pault1964]

I like the thermostat on the pads good idea for the forgetful or surprised

[@RockkLeeee]

When describing the active satellite antenna and other features it would be nice to see some b-roll instead

[@rezzmond]

Where is table for eating and working on laptop? I like many of the designs. Would like more of the powder coat metal in the garage where wet things are likely to be.

[@denniscrabtree2170]

I have the same question. I want to be able to work online while on the road and not have to stand or sit and hold my plate. I would opt out the extra 2 seats and put a portable table with a removable post.

[@penguin272]

How the hell are you loading 600ah after they're drawn empty? How long does it take with solar? How long do they last of shore?

[@TitanVans]

The batteries are charged in three ways. Off of solar, from the alternator, and when plugged into shore power. The alternator puts out 250 A and would take just over two hours of driving to recharge. Solar is more of a trickle charger in comparison but can produce around 25 A in direct sunlight. Once plugged into shore, the batteries charge at 80 A and as long as you are using less than that at any given point in time then you can run off shore indefinitely.

[@jeffgoldsmith1679]

Omg that front bumper assembly looks absurd on the Sprinter.

[@TitanVans]

At least you know what you don't like...

[@costasgavras4115]

Great van, amazing garage but the sink is too close to the bed with no protection from splashing. Also no splashback to protect from cooking. Other than that awesome van!

[@mosaicinmotions]

agree, a pressed tin backsplash would be cool (& lightweight)

[@gayegomila6285]

Love the foldable seat!!

[@truthsurfer6062]

It would be nice to have a fold out table under the second small passenger bench seat which would fold out when folded up with a fold out leg

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

Why do people only use two induction burner tops in these vans? in your house you probably have at least four burners. how are you supposed to cook a meal where everything’s hot and done at the same time with just two burners?

[@MichaelWilliams-ro9bm]

We have one portable and works fine.

[@oiulti6900]

Looks small for a 170 extended. Is there a plan for someone who needs two monitors for work - and having a ox tower/modem in a van like this?

[@kjeldpedersen7967]

All cabinet gassprings is installed incorrect. The piston must face downwards, otherwise the piston sealing will dry out and gas pressure expell and gasspring is defect……

Nice but not the biggest. You left out the hi top roof. But the rig is very nice.👍

[@edwardweiszbeck1649]

Question: for ALL your cabinetry... do you use wood, ply wood, or particle board ? Thanks for your time.

[@TitanVans]

We use 18mm baltic birch core with HPL on both sides. It is a type of plywood but with many layers wich makes it much stronger and stable with the large swings in temperature, humidity, and vibrations.

[@mikeanderson8939]

Brilliant design and build!

[@TVAnthologyReviews]

Why do all the van builds have queen size beds? Seems like doubles and twins would make more sense.

[@TitanVans]

Van dimensions and where beds tend to be in the vans are close to queen bed dimensions already. None of them sre exactly queen dimensions, 60" x 80". Most customers want larger beds and many of our beds are actually closer to king beds.

[@ktkl68]

This is really awesome. Looking at you guys and Outside Van. My family currently role in a LC with a roof top tent with a trailer for outdoors stuff. We are big time skiers in the winter and campers in the summer. These vans caught my eyes only very recently. Although very cool, unique and practical my only concern is reliability. Looking for some long term users here locally to talk to

[@PatVachon]

The induction cook top glass itself will retain heat so you can't touch it for at least a couple minutes.

[@TitanVans]

Its true the glass definitely holds some heat but we have found that even after cooking or boiling water the surface was warm to the touch after a 30 second or so.

[@jordanh3740]

I'll be buying mine from you!

[@pamelakilponen3682]

Does the bed have slats under it to provide ventilation? Also, can you build one with a pull-down table for extra counter space? and maybe a lagun table where the passenger seats are so there is a place to eat? Love the materials and colors.

[@SergioBalacco]

The rear doors are not conveniently insulated, there is a thermal bridge with the outside. Why wasn't it done?

[@TitanVans]

It is impossible to create a continuous thermal break in a vehicle without losing both functionality and a large amount of interior space. In addition there are many air penetrations in a vehicle that can not be sealed for a variety of reasons, as well as R0 windows. With all of that we do not find it worth the time or money to cover every metal surface. If you size the heater right it doesn't make much of a difference. We have slept in -20 F without a problem.

[@arneservatius8686]

That bench seat is worthless. Can’t ride on that very long hurt back. You have to think about seniors we are the ones downsizing and converting to vans.

[@bikeninja956]

[@1sailmike]

With this being a 170 extended 4x4, does the back end scrape the ground a lot?

[@TitanVans]

No, not in normal driving. If offroad, it can with steep exit angles.

[@joeshmoe8952]

Does it matter if the Sprinter van is a 2500 or does it have to be a 3500 or higher?

[@TW-qz5wo]

Poor use of space - didn’t see a wash basin on your tour or as pointed out table & seating for eating - using laptop - watching tv etc. Where’s the wardrobe space ? Garage design not compact with loads of wasted space. Why do you need extra seating if only a two berth sleeper. Spend a year touring in a ext LWB sprinter like I have and you will see the shortcomings.

[@grannyanderson5063]

This the layout that I would want for our autistic grandson to travel with us. Just wish the toilet was a little taller and better way for seniors to get in bed. Great built! But how much?

[@samkeino6810]

Very nice build and video. I had a few questions. Is 300W solar enough? Surprised not to see a folding counter extension at the door. Also, you didn’t mention electrical outlets at the bed. Curious if the manual crank for the awning is more common than an automated version for lazy people like me! Finally, I didn’t see any work area/bench/dining area for one or two people working on their laptops. Perhaps I just missed this!

Nice rig, Titan Vans! Have you guys considered box model on the back of a Sprinter front end, with 4*4. It would allow more room for the interior; more efficient use of space.?

[@TitanVans]

We have talked about it but most of our customers want and purchase cargo vans, like the one in this video. If we produce spec builds it is something we could do more easily but the cost would jump up substantially.
