My Expedite Van Sleeper Set Up & Inside Cargo Area Reveal

[@williamrobinson6680]

Van interior appears very complete. Common sense engineering and thorough. You can see many years of "fuss free" service just the way it's set up now. As for lodging. Two years ago, my initial thought of considering adding hotel/motel expenses frightened me. But back then, business was excellent. And my family encouraged me to "splurge". Plus they didn't like the thought of "grandpa" sleeping in a van at travel stops. So I complied with family wishes. Result? I was twice the man/driver after a hotel stay. More refreshed and rejuvenated. More like a "reset" between each delivery. Able to drive many more miles direct, more refreshed. Improved quality of life.

[@DKBlair]

Thanks for showing your setup. You mentioned some of your drivers have nicer setups (fridge, microwave, etc.) If you get a chance could you show us those setups too?

[@ajruck8766]

Thank you for showing us the inside of your van. Gives me some good ideas with the carpet on the walls.

[@jessespencer6330]

Perfect thank you so much. You just gave me the perfect template for my van. Just getting my business started up

[@ffbarbosa100]

Great video!! Great van. I have the 170 but, my next one will be 192

[@Eagle-Xpress]

👍 They're all 170 but this is a 170 extended.

[@maximolotov]

Супер уютно смотрятся обшитые ковром стены. Мне попался ван который стариков возил 9 мест. Окна везде в круг и тонированные. Оставил 6 мест. Двух этажную кровать сделал + мобильная шиномонтажка внутри. Серенивая отделка внутри из материи. Когда едем с семьёй в отпуск убираем все стонки и инструменты . Такая же зановеска как у тебя.

[@christophercharles7302]

I've been enjoying your videos and learning much important info! Thank you!

[@SeaOrcRonnie]

Have you done a video yet with everything you feel you’ll need in terms of supplies, tools, etc…to outfit your van with to do the job efficiently and effectively? Thanks! Love your videos.

[@Eagle-Xpress]

this video pretty much covers the basics. if you watch more of my content I cover it in the other 250+ videos Ive put out

[@ericgarrison3569]

There should be a tutorial on how to use the straps the merchandise so it doesn't move all in the cargo because me personally I don't know how to use clamp straps

[@ericgarrison3569]

​@@Eagle-XpressI will just deliver my sprinter to your house with all the supplies and u can install everything for me bed and all I watched your videos I know everything to get and yes I will pay u like a contractor or your price I think that makes a huge difference seriously

[@Sakhtlaunda1]

Great video .I believe You shared enough info with us. Thanks

[@darenceasar1055]

The flooring, installing your floors with the rails are the rails needed

[@Eagle-Xpress]

E tracks are not required but recommended. Freight slides easy on metal and it helps with securing the freight as well.

[@dylanseaman5163]

thats cool! thx for the basic tech.

[@ThePlowGuys]

Basic, Basic, basic. When you carry cargo you tend to stay away from the fancy stuff. In my Transit I have a bed that slides and fold behind the front seats. Chinese heater, and a ryobi 18+1 fan for the summer. No T.V. why cause if the wheels are not rolling then I am sleeping.

[@chulo9477]

Do you ever need each channel on the side walls of the van or do you just need them on the floor? Let me know. Thank you. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you very much for your info.

I learned that floor e tracks is all that's ever needed in my 10 yr experience.

Would you do a step by step van heater install for the viewers?

[@Eagle-Xpress]

Mines already installed. There's tons of videos online on how to install them.

[@cardicio9383]

Nice

[@ffbarbosa100]

Btw, how did you do your flooring insulation? and, I definitely need a Chinese heater as well. I use the "wave 2" by ecoflow, it is great for ac however, not so great as a heater. Is the heater easy to install? it? Thanks a bunch for all your info and videos

[@Eagle-Xpress]

Yes heater is easy to install. There's tons of install videos online. Flooring is easy too. Just screw it in the the metal.

[@williamrobinson6680]

One video a while back, you mentioned a high mileage tire you've been pretty happy with. Was it a 60 or 80k mile ? May we please have that link again? Thanks!

[@godvsevolutionmythgodvsevo1038]

How long can you run your diesel heater before before recharging your battery and do you have a custom A setup for the very hot summer time what's our thoughts on portable showers for expedite vans?

[@Eagle-Xpress]

Planet fitness has memberships that cost 15 bucks a month. Almost every city has one... You can shower daily there. There's no room for showers in our vans. Cargo space is most important. I ran my heater for 3 days before and it didn't drain my battery. They use very little power. For hot summers it's good to have a roof fan / vent. And if you're in the south drivers carry small ac for the window and a little generator. That's the cheapest way to cool the van. Having a very good insulated van helps a lot too.

[@godvsevolutionmythgodvsevo1038]

@@Eagle-Xpress OK thank you

[@Zikolondon]

Question please how do you sleep if you have three pallets ? And going long distance like 1500 miles ? How do you use the bed

[@Eagle-Xpress]

Put my mattress on top of the freight and nap that way. If it's too tall I can put my mattress straight on the floor too and still have room to sleep as this van takes 4 pallets so even with 3 on board I still have 48 inches of width to rest on the floor on my mattress.

[@dustinlampston7618]

"sometimes I sleep on the freight" lmao

[@Eagle-Xpress]

It's true. There's even videos about it. I've slept on top of the freight many times. Sometimes u show up for delivery that's supposed to be direct and it's all closed and u unexpectedly have to layover of course that's where I'll sleep to save money and make more by not spending it on a hotel or motel.

[@irwin240]

I had to sleep btw the freight before lol

[@ZavHustles]

5 kids??😮 I give you props, and your wife lol

[@Eagle-Xpress]

Thank you! Filling up Gods Kingdom!

[@AmandaAllison-h8m]

What is the best "power" set up do you recommend? Gas generator or solar?

[@Eagle-Xpress]

Probably solar is the less headache to use. Once installed it just works.

[@CATALINA922]

So I’m cases of full van long hauls where you have to stop and rest overnight, you can’t use that bed system, right? If so, what do you do?

[@Eagle-Xpress]

Sleep on top of the freight. But most our loads deliver direct anyways so sleeping is done after delivery more often than during transit

[@randallalderman2260]

Whats the height from floor to ceiling and distance from wall to wall? Also how far do the wheel wells stick out from the walls ?

[@Eagle-Xpress]

That part I do not measure because it does not matter. You can only fit 72 tall through the door opening and 53 between wheel wells.

[@BradyRay_333]

Do you have any idea of what it might (or did) cost to get the closed cell insulation professionally sprayed in for a 170" extended sprinter? I'm on the West Coast like you.

[@Eagle-Xpress]

I did it myself. I think I paid under 300$ for it

[@BradyRay_333]

@@Eagle-Xpress very nice man, thank you for the reply. I need to embrace the DIY philosophy. It would save me a bucket of money.

[@OzhanSa]

Hi Buddy,Do you think if I drive with my friend non stop it is worth ? or are you recommending team drive ? thank and safe drive...

[@Eagle-Xpress]

Depends how you plan to split the profits. Usually if you drive yourself if you can handle sleepless nights and long miles you can do well. But if you cant and have to team drive then it will depend how you will split the profits.

[@OzhanSa]

@ thank you so much for your answer!!

[@BlueDoggxlt]

E-Tracks.... I see yours are mounted on the floor surface. I hear others say to have it inset into the flooring so pallets dont get hungup on them, etc. What are your experiences in this idealism? Anyone else, please comment as well. BTW: Bed idea....Brilliant. Its what I did.

[@Eagle-Xpress]

It's my 3rd sprinter and this is the only way I mount them. You Want your pallets to slide on top of your etrack so they can load easier and unload like butter too. Wood on metal slides great.

[@Wolfhound327]

What is the heater you use in the back by the bed?

[@Eagle-Xpress]

Diesel air heater. Webasto Style. There's a video about them on my channel.

It all depends on the state you live in, on your driving record, your credit history, age, marital status, etc etc. Cost is different for every driver.
