Is This the COOLEST Van Build You've Ever Seen?

[@HuangXingQing]

It's really great to see builders using the best of class in systems now. I'm sure Van Specialties is still using fiberglass insulation. jejeje

[@JarrodTocci]

Zing

[@2flewover1]

Creative build. I'm definitely putting some of these techniques in my 'stolen ideas vault'.

[@evamaria644]

This is a beautiful, beautiful van and it's layout. I wish I could afford these guys for my massage spa. I simply love it when builders use the front of a van for the shower and bathroom.

[@ZsFather]

is that Ryan Twomey's little japanese camper in the background??

[@TheMagnificentGman]

Was wondering the same thing

[@tomascarrasco9892]

I was thinking the same thing lol did he sell it or just back there chilling lol

[@rezarafi4587]

Yes it is

[@JarrodTocci]

Yes it is. Kyle and Ryan work together so Kyle will often take the truck

[@vincenzopromedia]

I don't have the money for your building service but I want to compete at the same quality level to build an express van for myself. Even with a high roof the express is more nimble, and has LS, and Duramax engines. I have my own designs that I've never seen anyone attempt on a van before. I had a G20 van as a child that my parents drove on family road trips. I think of it as a predecessor to the express. I don't see anyone doing a good job building express vans in ways that accentuate what they bring to the table. Only because I find myself struggling to find money I want to make my express also appeal to budget penny pinchers. It's something I think is more possible than we think. You never said how much this van costs and I'm pretty sure it's over $240,000 in this economy; And that's not the most it could be, that's just how much it was for this couple's unique tastes. Although no one would consider my budget truly budget let's be real here; Everything has a price, and everything isn't needed, nor unnecessary, so with all that being said my budget for a van that competes with a shred zeppelin, is $12-24,000 dollars. I'm pretty sure for that price I probably wouldn't even be able to afford an entire build from you guys. There's so many sub $10,000 dollar "budget" van build ideas on KZbin, but not only do they lack full features, but their quality is in question. My build already aims to be more fully featured than shred for less than $20,000 dollars but we'll see.

[@KaiMiano]

What a beautiful design! Great! Compliments to the builder! Thanks for showing this to us Jarrod!

[@nicoleandedden]

Next level. Always pushing the boundaries Shane!! 🔥🚐

[@landship]

❤❤❤

[@jordanhanson316]

I think he should double down and just focus on solar sails, do a rooftop tent version!

[@JarrodTocci]

I love that idea! Or a truck camper version

[@jordanhanson316]

@ you HAVE to do that on yours now 🤣

[@dlbracer56]

SWEET!

[@calilolo2781]

Beautiful and practical, I love it!! Great job guys.

[@lucasravizza]

So sick! Congrats Shane

[@mythicalnomadadventure969]

Real functional and buitful build. Love that tiltable solar sail. They'll never run outta' power ! Real nice, 👍 Rock on 🙂.

[@CorinneClassic]

Stunning. Glimpse of fridge at 29:23 and not sure if that is more storage in the floor between the couches- looks like hand notches in the floor?

[@landship]

Ya se have an isotherm 200 fridge and there is a storage box on the floor in the back, forgot to mention those whoops!

[@JarrodTocci]

Can’t cover every inch on these tours 😅

[@1anita1m]

Beautiful build....love the woodwork.

[@diabeticnomad]

No Shane that is not a bumper worth of zombie apocalypse for that I require a cattle guard! That’d be epic!

[@AbbeMinor]

Next level! Great job Shane and landship :) modern aquatic rock vibes

[@landship]

❤❤❤

[@renegadepermaculture]

top shelf build!!! wawaweewa, I liiike very match (borat voice)

[@ahyomarss]

Wowwwwit get s better every timmmmmme🫢

[@CruiseNComfortUSA]

Great installation of the HD-24L! I really like what you did with the vents - they should distribute airflow across the area nicely. Side note specs on this unit are 11,500 k BTU and 20-33 amps @24 volts. Now back to serious stuff … send me a bill for the Shred Zeppelin tshirts!!! My staff wants them!❤❤

[@JarrodTocci]

Thanks for giving the specs. Nice having the actual company comment. Best AC’s out there!!

[@kendalm.9354]

Crazy question, but do you think they can install a Solar Sail on a Ford Econoline or Transit both with hightops? Only ask because not everyone owns a 60k Mercades Spirnter

[@JarrodTocci]

Good question and I’m sure if you contact Shane from his site then he will let you know

[@darrellfort1668]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! vanlife4ever!

[@culinarynerd]

So this person knows what he's doing and has made his choice - I won't be able to change his mind. Hopefully anyone else watching this might listen - gray water does not contain urine, not even urine with "neutralizing enzymes". Any water with urine is BLACK WATER. Respect nature and respect the places kind enough to let you dump. Also, plants don't love soap in general so, and soap and urine disrupt ecosystems.

[@landship]

Gotta use hippy soap Read the humanure handbook by Joseph Jenkins, it’s the compost toilet bible

[@JarrodTocci]

I see where you’re coming from but your statement also isn’t correct. I’m aware if we try and look up both ways then we can find arguments for both sides. The “tank standards” are made up standards by the RV industry. When it comes to disposal then there are a lot of facts listed by EPA what is allowed and not allowed. He’s following them in this van. Again, I do respect and understand your point as well

[@Kirbywinson]

Amazing van 🚐 ❤

[@landship]

❤❤❤

[@SmirkInvestigator]

Love the external gear setup and system configuration,bookmarked company. Ultra nice details and decorative design

[@trina9523]

I'm so glad to see him again. It seems to have been awhile. He is incredibly artistic. I could not afford him for certain but I love seeing his stuff. I've always wondered with the vans that have things built directly behind the drivers seat, are you able to drive comfortably or are you forced to a straight back seat situation? No one ever covers that (or the inside of the fridge) lol am I the only one that is curious about those items?

[@daveduncan2748]

Cool, but I kept getting distracted by that sweet mini-truck camper out on the street.

[@ethanlopez6398]

I noticed it too. Pretty sure that’s ryan twomeys

[@JarrodTocci]

Haha yes it is. Ryan and Kyle work together

[@PorscheSpeedster-kz6nc]

Need some red reflectors on the bike rack and maybe cabinet boxes. ❤

[@bigdad4967]

Safety police over here

[@PorscheSpeedster-kz6nc]

@ who wants to get rear ended or get a ticket! 😳😤😫😭

[@UnPluggingThePlayer]

So beautiful. I'm liking the colaboration. I like the attention to thermal insulation and congrats on designing a toilet. I'll def be looking into this. Could I get aluminium frames for the cupboards and drawers? I'm likely going to be parking in shade so can I get the sunroof panels to detach so I can put them in a sunny spot? Or would that be too heavy and hard to move. Also, could I get a contained locked enclosure for the bike cage? or is that too heavy and bulky? Is that a pull-out drawer on the floor of seated area? And one last question... I recently saw a British van with a pull out slide from the back end. He literally used one hand to pull out an inserted section from the back. That back end pull-out was nested within the back where the sink ends. It would give a lot more room inside when pulled out, especially with kids if it's raining and would give more room for flip down beds or those trunk beds that pull out. I don't know what that pull-out insert was made of but it was light weight to pull out easily. I thought that if any people could figure out how that Brit did it this team could. 🙏🏼 thanks so much for providing top notch solutions.

[@demolitionbmxd]

Not a fan of the build but can definitely appreciate the work involved. Just tidy up that birds nest of wiring 😂

[@HALEN_Adventures]

I said the same thing about the wiring rats nest.

[@scottmalan1223]

Sweet! I do prefer EcoFlow however for the electrical system.

[@MrDjed69]

love it

[@kelleywimberley]

Beautiful work! Your insulation sounds solid. I’m with you on the cruise and comfort. But how does Rickson compare with Van Tech?

[@JarrodTocci]

Biggest difference is the computer tech. Sorta like when shopping for batteries, why are some “better” than others. There are more things like customer service or lead times might also come into your decision too

[@kevinshea4353]

VERY nice!! Did I miss the refrigerator?!?!

[@CorinneClassic]

Bottom corner of the left (to us watching the video) cabinet in black you can get the quickest glimpse of the fridge looks like a side by side fridge/freezer upright at 29:23. I think there is also storage in the floor between the couches that he missed.

[@JarrodTocci]

Isotherm 200. It’s pretty big and has separate freezer. One of my favorites!

[@kevinshea4353]

@ Nice!!

[@Ghost_SniperAirsoft]

Here's one thing I've wondered about van life, Has anyone done a Slide out Solar Panel setup under the other one that's normally mounted?

[@jordanhanson316]

I’ve seen one on KZbin yeah

[@JarrodTocci]

Yes there have been a few. Personally I don’t see the point. Here’s why: You’d have to wire it separately from the other panels that are static which isn’t hard, just more to do which also means more to fail down the road. Also, van roofs can fit roughly a single 400w panel (with fan and skylight. Can get more solar if removing one of those) and that’s plenty to run your things in a van during the day. With the technology nowadays using a 2nd alternator is more efficient. You can add a relay to auto start the van if your “house” batteries get too low. Actually I think Shane did that with this build

[@jordanhanson316]

@@JarrodTocci true and a alternator is better for cloudy days and night if you run out. I have a massive 1200watts of solar and a 60a DC-DC. That’s more than adequate for everything. Plus you’d need a huge MPPT at 24v just to run it.

[@Onetazien]

about 20k with install for 1200 watts of solar yikes

[@Alesandro113]

Wow teak, copper, leather that’s what I call luxury custom van, congrats is beautiful

[@daveh5629]

Did I just see Ryan Twomey's little japanese campervan in the background there?

[@JarrodTocci]

😂 yup sure was

[@Kasi_Viral]

is that ryan twomey camper at the back??

[@JarrodTocci]

Yes, Ryan and Kyle work together so I’m sure that’s why

[@HALEN_Adventures]

I hate to say it but, what the hell is with the Rats nest of the wiring?

[@JarrodTocci]

😅 maybe they didn’t clean it up yet

[@HALEN_Adventures]

@JarrodTocci I don't think that's it...🤔

[@bobbybeast1000]

how much?

[@HeHwhatsayou]

well the solar sail is $20k alone....so....ALOT

[@JarrodTocci]

hahaha 😂

[@CyberDocUSA]

👍🏻Like #444. Sweet build.

[@dkosawa]

I would like to see another tour without the fisheye lens

[@JarrodTocci]

Fair. Reason why we use a wide angle to because these are small spaces and we want to show as much as possible. Hard to make everyone happy

[@KaiMiano]

First comment yeah 😅

[@geoffmason2618]

DAMN!!! That looks the nuts

[@dfwvtxman]

Pretty nice solar array but when can we see regular folks $80-100k kinda Camervans, one's normal folks can afford?

[@sofiaadelinaaa]

🤭✨🫶🏽🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@puretrouble1603]

That solar is useless if you are in a spot you cannot move once the sun moves past the solar panels!!

[@JarrodTocci]

Facing the panels south west to catch more solar during sunset or facing south east to get more solar in the morning. It's not that hard lol

[@puretrouble1603]

@ you obviously did not read what I actually said! If you are in a campground in a spot where you can’t move twice a day to keep the sun on the panels they are useless!! It’s really not that hard to understand!!

[@boppzz]

How stoned is this guy? 😂

[@JarrodTocci]

Very sober actually haha. I used to think the same when I met up. He's just that chill

[@jofremiller795]

I wonder if these guys would like to sell some of their scrap materials for a poor guy trying to build his own home?

[@JarrodTocci]

Never know, could email him to find out

[@chrissmith668]

Would be a better vid without the fish eye lens distorting everything!

[@JarrodTocci]

🤷🏻‍♂️ small spaces and wide angle helps

[@bfdee1603]

U cannot claim doing R&d on composting toilets...that pretty much has been copied between one brand or d other. Am sure your toilet s just another separator...typical design already been perfected by somebody else.😅

[@rebeccacartier153]

I love this tour, but I love how @ryantwomeyy mini truck is just chilling in the background 😂😂😂

[@JarrodTocci]

😂 Ryan and Kyle work together

[@jeremycovelli]

looks nice but way too much wasted space. I don't get people 1, using full depth 25" counters (you never ever.. ever use the back third of the counter other than to store crap.) and 2, having full depth counters on both sides of the van.. enormous waste of space, and no room to move especially with two people, heck, you can barely even get the cook top out. Any type of open shelving is completely and utterly useless in a van.. that moves. Those sofas with the low back pillows.. also super uncomfortable. A van needs to be function over form. You can also make function look nice.

[@JarrodTocci]

The fridge they used (isotherm 200) requires a lot of room. Not just a large depth but the compressor needs room to vent without overheating. That’s the number one reason fridges burnout in non experienced builds

[@steevencoogan8754]

awesommmmme

[@firemanbenk]

Is that Ryan Twomey’s Japanese camper in the background?!?!

[@LLEWION]

that's my reaction too.

[@bfdee1603]

Jarrod said, yes. That s Ryans

[@JarrodTocci]

Yes, Ryan and Kyle work together
