Mercedes Sprinter 170 4x4 - Conversion Van Tour - Sleeps up to 4 - w/Guest Bed/Couch. Check it out!

[@nudaveritas8195]

Bro explained the entire science behind the induction cook top.

[@heekyongheitz9839]

I've rented out the Titan van built for ten days in the beginning of June. My husband and I loved it very much. It was durable, functional, and simple. Especially the bed was unbelievably comfortable. Also, the heating system worked so well and we felt comfortable in snowy Rocky Mountain National Park. There was a snow in there in June 8th and it was warm in the van.

[@TitanVans]

So glad to hear, hope it was a fun trip 😀. We love RMNP 🗻

[@cfirstp8416]

Good review! And very informative telling us the good stuff. A 10-day trip. Very functional; Extremely comfortable bed. Inside temp was unbelievably warm in snowy weather. Great review. Thanks. I really like this van, and appreciate all of the great feedback.

[@elbee1290]

I agree! Such a pleasure to be educated about this van's components by such a knowledgeable man. His pride in his work was obvious, too. Would definitely consider this company for a conversion!

[@TitanVans]

@@elbee1290 glad to hear! Stay tuned for more videos to come.

[@hornet224]

Excellent 4x4 capable, open-space floor plan. Not a cramped DIY home-made look. Exterior design is a stealth incognito look that won't attract a lot of attention when urban boon docking. Could use a pedestal mount table in front of the couch like the Airstream Interstate has that I own. And roof mount A/C option is a must for most of us. If you do not need a shower/toilet, this could be a winner. Innovative craftsmanship.

[@pardefarmeaurx3720]

It's cool. I'm more of a fan of an internal bathroom/shower option. Sacrifices some space but worth it if you're somewhere cold.

[@cfirstp8416]

I'd much rather a shower/toilet space too, even if it's a wet bath!.

Nice van...seems like the interior is missing something. I like the Outside Vans designs and recently have been very interested in the Storyteller Mode 4.

[@TheSurgeExclusive]

It’s missing a shower

[@floyd48383]

It seems like there might be room for a shallow upper cabinet above the lower cabinet across from the sink. It seems like it would be useful to have just a cubby cabinet w storage openings for a lot of little things as a catch all near the side door.

[@TitanVans]

Certainly could add one. This obviously was a custom build with a client specifies layout. We typically like to keep overhead cabinets all on one side of the van to still allow for ample head room and keep the space feeling large. If you put overhead cabinets on both sides of a van we have found it can feel claustrophobic.

[@floyd48383]

@@TitanVans - I'm not sure about the back story...you were doing more custom vans and now you are trying to do a standard product line-up? Do you still do custom work?

[@TitanVans]

@@floyd48383 In short yes. We were offering full custom builds from the ground up for the last 4 years. After doing hundreds of unique builds we now have now come out with 8 unique builds.

[@TitanVans]

Many of our clients do not want an interior shower, a handful of reasons, space, use frequency, cost. All of our vans have a rear wash station that can be used but is certainly a fair weather option.

Yes we have heater pads on our batteries that are linked to a temperature controlled relay.

[@ingopfeiffer5642]

Great build. Can you let me know what heat pads you are using in the build? Both on water tanks and battery, please. With technical details if possible. Wondering about wattage and how long they operate on the batteries’ capacity...

[@akburwell]

Why would build a sleeps 4 but can only carry 2 down the road? Nice and knowledgable build

[@TitanVans]

The client does a lot of traveling all over the country as a ski guide. She almost never travels with people but wanted the ability once she got to her location to have her friends be able to crash at ski resorts or back country locations. Customs designs vans are just that, custom.

[@morgandunk2836]

There are some really great ideas here!

[@ricardoclemente3255]

nice van! what about the toilet?

[@Matthew_80]

What is the height clearance for that particular build ? What type of battery is in that style build as well ? Was hoping to view and hear your expertise on it. Lastly what is the ballpark cost to convert exactly as shown in this vid ? Thanks for a great video.

[@TitanVans]

The suspension would have been updated to compensate for the additional weight of the build and the aftermarket wheels would give you a few more inches over the stock wheels and tires. We utilize Victron components and Li-ion batteries in all of our builds. The closest model to this particular van build is our Classic 170 which starts at $49,995 for the conversion.

Microwaves on the top looks like it can be dangerous for short people to use. An awesome makes a top heavy. Can y'all put that microwave down low at office space height or lower?

[@judytassone7504]

Beautifully designed. Very knowledgeable presenter. Where do you store the extra mattress and all the bed furnishings? And clothes, etc. Sooooo little storage in this van. Owner must be a weekend warrior.

[@TitanVans]

Van was designed for a Ski guide who generally travels solo but wanted the ability to have people crash if needed. The lower bed platform was intended to be used with camping pads so they could be deflated and stored without taking up much space. More storage is easy to add but can definitely make vans feel claustrophobic, hard balance to strike, and each customer is as unique as the vans!

[@maxfastest]

Thanks , But I will continue to DIY all of my needs . Those that can , Do, those that can't, Pay .

[@denisecatlett7203]

Beautiful layout, but I’m confused ? I can see how 4 people sleep but 2 extra people can not ride in this van. Could the front bench seat be converted to Dot approved passenger seats. Looking for a solution to have 4 passengers ride safety in our new van.

[@TitanVans]

Yup, can definitely swap out front couch for seating with seat belts.

[@user-jk5ph7wc4e]

No love for the smartemp 2.0? No, you can't use it to set high altitude but it would compliment the 360 panel and the BMV for its tech. Not sure why the redundant light switches when the other set are literally an arms length away?

[@nyjunie1941]

Can you install the window shades ? I don't think I am happy to put them on the windows every night. And sharp edges of furniture? No no. Otherwise, very nice design.

[@justsmy5677]

The freshwater tank is inside the van (not underneath), has a heating pad, and yet you state that it will freeze in cold weather? That seems odd, unless you are referring to times when the van is parked and not lived in for days.

[@TitanVans]

Certainly in that scenario but also when the temperature really drops. The heating pad helps but temperatures here every year will hit double digit negatives and the heater pad is not enough to keep up. Even with insulation in all walls and ceiling, the outside temperature will eventually become the inside temperature. Using the heater continously can also help but when temps get really low even that will have trouble keeping up.

[@DustyCowdog]

Just how reliable are these Mercedes vans? I don't see any other manufacturer that makes a 4x4 van anymore... cheers!

[@TitanVans]

We think they are the best built vans out there. You certainly pay for them but looking on the used market there are plenty with over 250,000 miles.

[@matt0198922]

For the devices that are powered off of the 12 VDC system (or really the inverter since that gets power from the batteries, too), do you have separate 12V batteries from the main engine-start battery? Or do you just have a very large Amp-Hour capacity battery that starts the engine and powers all the 12V devices (and the inverter)? If it's the latter, is there a cutoff or warning system then lets you know to stop pulling amps from the battery so that you can ensure you still have enough stored energy to start the engine? Does it have auto-engine-start capabilities? Also, what's the typical battery life like for an overnight situation? As in, running the heater or AC overnight while sleeping and charging phones...can the batteries last for 8 hours until you wake up and fire up the engine again?

[@TitanVans]

Two separate systems. When the engine is running it will automatically connect and charge the rear batteries. There is an auto cut off and alarm system for the rear batteries as well. We design anywhere between a 200Ah and 1000Ah battery bank systems and to calculate run time for a system you multiply the items current draw by the amount of hrs you will run it for.

[@smallg327]

Thank you. You kindly explain that with shorepower the inverter auto charges the L-ion batteries. Sprinter motor will also auto charge the L-ion batteries, correct? Is the standard alternator used for this Build or is the MB upgraged alternator or second alternator added?

[@TitanVans]

Yes the engine also charges. We typically just use the stock MB alternator but can and have added secondary alternators to increase the charge capacity.

[@OrionThrower]

nice designed though but a lot of useless storage cabinet in a place like @12:24 it is better if you place there a nice permanent toilet or shower room, your RND engineers need to use all small spaces for use of such a long body of the Van. I understand if it is just 144 ft you have to void it long but the way I look at it way longer

Feedback: 1. Please buy a Gimbal to film these with. They’re only $100, but it would improve the shakiness considerably. 2. Please don’t film these outside. The glare is terrible and the dust all over the floors is a clear turn off (based on others’ comments). Film them in a large garage with the door open to avoid echo, and lessen the need for a mic. 3. It seems contradictory to state a Sprinter sleeps four when there (truly) are only two safe seats for travel. Is there something I’m missing regarding the seating situation? Because that board with seatbelts is wholly unsafe for travel. Beautiful van, but marketability matters. So just put a little more energy into marketing and video production when creating such a gorgeous van, and I’m sure it will pay off.
