[@cindyherget5196]

Wonderful Orange I like the build out

[@volb9817]

Cancer survivor? Didn't know that about you. That's wonderful! 💪

[@JarrodTocci]

I had a sit down talk with a friend that runs a podcast. I put the video footage of that podcast on my channel

[@mscalucas]

I cannot express in words how much I absolutely love *everything* about this build.

[@netteleverett4871]

This build is HOTTT!!!🔥🔥🔥 I’m single.... so for all of these awesome builds, I’m going to be open to having a bed half the size in the rear so that I can have a bathroom in that space and a larger water tank for sure! Not sure when I will build... but it is definitely coming! All of these videos are GREAT for ideas. And I will be totally electric/solar... no gas at all!🙃

[@michaeldc80able]

Everything about this van is just perfect! The on board air compressors, the color, the suspension and hammock really top it off 👌

[@avpr1c]

She looks like the breadwinner and pant wearer in the family. Good stuff

[@Js18100]

8:06 - that table though - I want!

[@holyfox94]

Fantastic, modern, minimalistic van for the true outdoors. 👍🏻

[@gearheadted5110]

Great van. Simple, yet nicely equipped and layed out. Beautiful table top!

[@KatyInNH]

Beautiful! Looks like memories of a lifetime will be made in the van!

[@salsan2946]

What a gorgeous build!

[@albertcassler8763]

I'm glad to know she is a healer....I too have foght with cancer although its not life threatening now thats its stable. And I have an auto immune desease thats a nag. I'm impressed with her van build and got a few ideas for mine....its a 77 GMC remodel...I hope to visit with you guys some day....nice van and great people

[@michaelsmith9308]

Great Mercedes build 4x4 love the table and fridge:) I heard weannie so much that i know she does NOT settle for a weannie!

[@riprincejr]

Absolutely beautiful. And the Van is nice too!

[@EricsVeganVan]

Very nice looking van. Enjoy it.

[@brianjoyce9742]

Well built with realistic abilities for off trail off road outback usage

[@ChakraW]

Great build. More importantly, I need to talk to her about autoimmune issues, so thank you.

[@livingitup9647]

Geezus! Oh, to have the resources for such a fantastic build...(sigh).

[@naimasrael6829]

I think I got lost, shocked and still shaking my Head 'cause I flip over to the window shades website... wow, the prices are huge... for window covers!!! IAm in the wrong club house. I will defnitely appreciate the ones I make for myProMaster🤣. Thankhz so much for sharing Jarrod. Wholeness n Essence of Love ((-;

[@roxannajenkins2297]

I love the colors in your tabletop. Can you tell me where I could possibly find one like that?

[@laurentcresson89]

Nice and simple van... And Toréa is a really nice girl... She's cute !!! ;)

[@carguyatelderford]

you always find such amazing van builds

[@ZILAwelds]

Nice build! I am doing something similar with the bed ( where it is removable so i can still use the sprinter to haul some bigger cargo when i need it)

[@grf1426]

What a woman - on top of the technical detail. Faced down a F****** big bear and said "so what?" And very attractive too.

[@Landoffakedreams]

Wish I could, one with a bathroom and 4x4. Maybe one day :)

[@stephenbrickwood1602]

It's raining here in the South West Pacific at Sydney. Great show, great insights.

[@davemenard5089]

Good to see mainstream/well off folks playing with the VanLife too. I do find the full timers more compelling though. Thx for the tour.

[@HillWillE]

That is beautiful!

[@laurajphillips]

Great Tour!

[@jamiep5780]

Sweet build!! Hope moxy loves the adventures!

[@michaelrs8010]

Another interesting video. QUESTION: is there some plan or list or video out there with a general rule of thumb guide for the order one should be doing things in in building their van? ( IE first due flooring, then do you insulation, then do electrical etc.). Maybe I'm using the wrong search words, but I just haven't come across something like that I hope to do mine "right" the first time so I don't have to go back and do anything over again, mainly because I'm not overly flush with cash.

[@harryupmann]

Hi, I'm self building too with no experience, currently laying the floor. Here our my random thoughts. General Phase Goals: 1. Climate control while preventing rust and mold. 2. build living space and storage 3. advanced systems (things that move and control electrical, gas, water, wifi) After prepping the van, ie rust, and sealing it to make sure its water tight, drill and cut holes and wiring then paneling: ceiling, floor, walls and end caps. some people do holes and wiring after insulation and holes after paneling. There is no order to the paneling sequence. After that then internal fixtures and systems, water, gas and electrical. Due to the small space parts of the van are built or worked on to a point and then something else, like I did wiring, insulation and continued wiring. There is so much variation it's hard to have a step by step checklist, just make sure it adheres to sound principles and it logical, do lots of research like to where you can't stand researching anymore and everyone around you who isn't involved in the build has an opinion on AGM or Lion or Polysio vs. EPS. My biggest mistake was not checking out if my van was waterproof, the side panels leak into the van and I had to tear out the bottom 1/3 of the lower insulation to remove rust. Just remember, your plans will change and evolve. go slow, be logical, do research, work hard. Good Luck

See Nate Murphy videos. He offers an ebook guide that I think is exactly what you're looking for. It's only $14.00. You get 3 different things for that price, plus lifetime updates. Check it out.

Pimping van thanks for the tour!

[@anthonymarino4260]

NICE BUILD

[@WelcomeToMyDream]

Super cool!

[@3lightsteps]

Love your van!💗

[@geruner]

As its said --- bless this mess.

[@semperoccultus1969]

Couple things... bear spray is NOT as effective as a good .45 round to the brain stem on a bear attack. I live in bear country. Don't listen to urban dwellers who don't understand firearms or the animal. Those fox shocks are like $400 each at least, and that build is fantastic. I love that van. Thanks for the video, bud.

[@hollaaa8339]

Niiiiice build! Jarrod ur van may be a mess right abt now, but ur far from a mess. Ty for sharing. Hows ur build coming along?

[@JarrodTocci]

Haha thank you! It's coming. I do a lot more updates on my Instagram. But my build videos are coming. I'm planning on being at Tiny Fest Northwest in mid August. Don't know if my entire van will be done by then but pretty close

[@hollaaa8339]

@@JarrodTocci im so stoked to see the finished project, esp since u now own a narrow ass sprinter lol thank God u thoroughly planned out ur build n having that murphy bed, genius idea my dear!!!

[@scnomad3626]

Pretty sweet van but where do the bikes go? Maybe enough room in the garage. Maybe

[@MyGoogleYoutube]

All the names dropped :p

[@jamesco1078]

Cool or what!

[@donwyates]

Really nice van! Though it seems like "... having your priorities when you're in the middle of nowhere..." would necessarily include a toilet of some sort.

[@scnomad3626]

Don Yates I don’t know why so many people are hung up on the toilet. A 5 gallon bucket with a $15 lid does the trick in an emergency

[@azb2010]

When you're out in the middle of nowhere is when you have no need for a toilet. The world is your bathroom. It's when you're around other people or travelling down a busy freeway where a toilet comes in handy.

[@rangovanlife]

Honestly I prefer self build vans, living in a van it is important having a warm ambience like at home. Decor etc. 😉

[@KiruHana]

I've seen several comments like this in van videos recently. What does "with character" mean? Every van has character. I think what you really mean is that it is not your style/not your aesthetic preference. Implying that something doesn't have character is a little rude.

[@rangovanlife]

@@KiruHana I am all but not rude, it was just a thought dedicated to professional builders, that campervans are often synthetically furnished, cold. It was not a personal criticism of the person who purchased it.

[@JarrodTocci]

@@rangovanlife I hear you. I didn't think you were trying to be rude. Sometimes things can be taken out of context but the pro companies definitely focus on functionality over style and making sure it's all DOT approved. For adventure vans it's definitely a good way to go. The more "home" look is probably easier to do in a self build plus pro van builders are more engineers then interior designers 😂

[@rangovanlife]

Your right, maybe because my mother tongue is latin, I used not the right words. Anyway what I would say is, that if I have to live fulltime in a van, for myself feelig comfortable, I need a decoration similar to home 🤩

[@MG-cp8xk]

Love the van. Great silverware draw. Wow your table ...wow. Dose your swivel lock (key lock) in rear facing position?

[@JarrodTocci]

No key lock just lever lock in place

[@Retha91]

Amazing van🚐😎

[@Adiscretefirm]

I don't know why anybody goes for the park queen, glossy cabinet, pavement only , class b's when you can get something like this.

[@karencooper6634]

all that awesomeness and no bathroom?

[@morrowr08]

What's best way to get in contact with Tiny Watts solar about solar roof deck? I tried contacting by email over a week ago and haven't heard back, I imagine they're crazy busy but just curious if you had any insight.

[@JarrodTocci]

Which email did you use? [e-mail] is best

[@morrowr08]

Jarrod Tocci I used their site to contact them. Their CRM sent an auto reply from that email you mentioned. Email mentioned they try and get back to people within 48 hours so I didn't want to spam them and reply just yet knowing how busy they probably are.

[@alexschlitt6453]

Are these Sprinter 4x4s always in 4x4 mode? Can it be switched on/off? Always 15 mpg?

[@JarrodTocci]

I'm pretty sure you can turn on and off

[@JarrodTocci]

My 2 wheel drive sprinter gets 22mpg. I know the 4x4 would make that worse but I'm also sure there is a switch

[@scnomad3626]

They’re in 2wd until you stop (complete stop) and push a button for 4wd. Mine gets 18 mpg at 70 mph.

[@doubled22495]

how tall is torea? it's hard for me to get a scale of the sizing because it looks like she's under 5 ft tall.

[@JarrodTocci]

She's 5 foot

[@bugsea54]

Wow I wonder the price of the whole build van and all?

[@shellyperez6707]

Can u please provide prices?

[@JarrodTocci]

I'm sorry but I typically don't ask prices during tours unless the owner of van is ok sharing that. It's just out of respect for the owner. I understand there's a lot of people that would like to know pricing but there are ways of finding out prices of certain things if needed. Thank you

Don’t ever say “Look at you!” Ever again!! What did that elite Sprinter cost? 150k ?!

[@12sisters1bride7]

It sounds costly to me too

[@law40177]

You got the price right outside van charges so much

[@bugsea54]

I seen a similar build on you tube and the total was 70k, and not outfitted with off road. Why do I know the price because they had to sell it right after the build. I guess they couldn't make the payment on the van, lol and that was what they had it listed for. Yeah so I am thinking more than that. So yes I wonder how this was funded.

[@Camey71073]

I need to get to know her. Chronic health issues AND 2 auto immune diseases...

[@chuckjones5797]

Sorry, and it's probably just me, but those bare feet with painted orange nails took away most of my concentration of this video. Lol. That sounds like a very costly(expensive) build that most people could not afford. A four-wheel sprinter is pretty pricey.
