FULL VAN TOUR - Mercedes Sprinter 170 Extended 4x4

[@motogibronius]

Great build and this walkthrough can also be a drinking game. Take a drink every time this guy says “little”.

[@mattkohlen5240]

All that great workmanship and attention to detail and the black wrap on a white paint job just looks brutal.

[@TitanVans]

The wrap was customer requested and installed by another company.

[@redstone5149]

💯looks so sad and cheap. Awful.

[@TitanVans]

@@redstone5149 nice thing about wraps, you can always take them off.

[@nickh3533]

First thing I noticed is the white lines showing around the door/side window, needs the door shuts wrapping!

[@filterfreephotography]

I was just about to say the same thing. I thought maybe my KZbin settings were wonky.

[@deathngravity]

excuse my ignorance... why not just paint it instead of the wrap?

[@PWCDN]

@@deathngravity paint is more expensive and you can't get matte/chrome colors I think. Also if you're leasing from a dealer, you're not allowed to change the car's color. wrap also protects the paint and cheaper to repair especially if you need to return the car after the lease is up. might be other reasons but this is what i know.

Perfect van. Nothing fancy but everything practical. Would only add a fan in the bathroom and the passenger seats would put a track from left to right to give some space between the seats.

[@travisfinlayson4137]

worst wrap ever!!! the whiter door jams steals all your attention both when the doors are closed or open

[@filterfreephotography]

For a build that cost upward of $20K (my guess), a better wrap that included door jambs and edge seams of the trim or a full paint job should have been done to this rig.

[@jess4mathews]

I was wondering if that was intentional...could that possibly have an effect on 'radar'???🤔

[@clintroberts1]

@@filterfreephotography only $20k. You’re way off on this build cost estimate.

[@filterfreephotography]

@@clintroberts1 Yeah, I agree. I forgot a zero and should have added a plus after the $20K... $200K+. I know it is still low, but depending on the quality of materials, it could be a lower cost build. If you look at the wrap, I would not feel confident about the quality of the remainder of the build, if you know what I mean.

Wish the bathroom had a vent fan in it, but very cool build.

[@fty-ys4ni]

Personally would’ve left it white like mine. I put some accent vinyl stripes down the side though. This is an awesome rig otherwise. A lot of “influencer” types are putting tons of home building materials in their vans, like plaster and tiles. Also, cheap but heavy plywood as opposed to the composite material used in all your cabinetry. Sure some of them look good but THIS is all you need. Barebones and functional. I imagine this rig doesn’t have a lot of rattling going on as it’s driving along. Super nice!

[@GuyCruls]

the sink and cooker worktop is superb though.

[@fogman0007]

[@gregormiller4037]

I happen to like it.

[@chrisnoren777]

What's wrong with it?

[@DreiBeinTobi666]

Maybe it depends on personal preferences, but i think it is just not done properly and looks like „come on, i don‘t like white, can you just give me a grey outside? We‘ll shoot a Video in 4 Hours...“ „Yep, i can make it look grey, but i won‘t be able to Cover the inside, the edges and folds properly. Just don’t Open the doors for the Video and stay away More than 6 meters while shooting, so no one will recognize it.“

[@acbad434]

You can see all the white in the lines between panels. If that’s what someone was looking for I guess but if they didn’t specifically ask for that it doesn’t look good at all. I’m can’t imagine what they paid to have the wrap stop short on the hood.

[@dominey]

Love the bed design. Very clever

[@alisoncalton1113]

One thing that I truly enjoy in this build is the dearth of televisions. Thank you very much for your time and effort.

[@JoseMDeras]

This Mercedes Sprinter is AWESOME!!! Great Video guys!!

[@TitanVans]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed.

[@ohroonoko]

If the rear of that van can support a queen size mattress then I’d rather have a full time bed with a super comfortable queen sized mattress like a Beautyrest or Tempurpedic or whatever.. Access the garage via the rear doors and a small compartment up front inside the van. That would be my ideal set up.

[@steveatx8295]

sweet Van. putting rounded corner on the door cabinet lasts longer and is more comfortable, rounded edge on the over head cabinet reduces injury from the all too common head bumps, Matte Black would roast you here in Texas.

[@DR10002]

Cloth wall behind the cooktop? Brilliant.

[@mikeallensonntag]

I'm going to say this... I've looked at van builds from major rv companies and I was like you got people on KZbin building better layouts there is no way I would spend 90+ k at general rv on van. You guys are doing it right the layout is absolutely excellent one of best ones I've ever seen. If I were to change anything I would get rid of dinner area and have proper dry bath. Then use fold up table or something using rotating front seat to get eating area back. This customer you know has reason for all that seating but rest of van man you guys did a awesome job. Specially being able run ac through the night without any external power.

[@mogarcia9755]

For being the extended van I felt the shower could of been a little larger and the toilet raised a little, but as you stated it was as the client wanted, not a fan of the bed arrangement either, but electrical engineering of the van is excellent..

[@277kne]

I'm glad you responded to my comments. I like the split murphy bed. One on each side. Was wondering about the seam in the middle as far as comfortably. Also do you do rear shower,toilets?

[@lincolndave1966able]

Some nice ideas incorporated into this build. Personally I thought it looked a bit dark but that may have just been the camera lighting. It's a very masculine design. Only a male would have a fabric splashback to a kitchen area. That will become damp with sink water blowback, splashed with cooking oils and absorb aromas from steaming pots and pans. I like the look of the fabric as it's ties in, perhaps overlaying it with tempered glass would be a practical solution. Overall it pretty impressive and the base vehicle is a beast of a machine. I am glad we don't really need ac in the UK, they seem power hungry items. I would kill for a 1000W of lithium battery capacity, that's just fantastic but UK prices are eye-watering for big lithium batteries. Great job, great rig.

[@Zrenda]

This would be a dream come true to have wow

[@wandajanetrusett]

Like two alternators under the hood good ideas

[@trailingarm63]

Loved the bed concept - best I've seen. The auxiliary passenger seats are well thought out and make a great lounge/dining area. Also liked the shower which is smart and compact. But I've got to say that wrapping the vehicle matte black and then cooking up a big charging system to AC it cool seems like a lose-lose. Don't show it to the tree-huggers!

[@pervaizrandhawa1521]

its NOT their idea. Thy should have credited others who have been making these beds for years

[@TWBrit65]

There is a lot I like, a few bits I don't, I think with so much Bluetooth, a tablet with it all on in the main seating area would be helpful, and the shore hook-up placed somewhere more robust maybe. But considering it's a custom fit-out, I'm sure that anything is possible, I like rear cabinets for sure. I like the idea of a 170 4x4 and possible coil springs on the rear to aid axle articulation. Is there a self-levelling kit on it? I'm not sure if one was mentioned. My issue is I like to get out to places to take photos, come back to edit them and then rest like a slob on a sofa lol. Oh and in the latest version of the Crafter van, which I would need to import to be fitted out. Great design, great work - and a great vid

[@piplup10203854]

I like the Murphy type of beds and double Murphy’s are a great idea. I love having a hidden bed with space to walk or sit that’s what I’m looking for. Very nice build though! As a retired vet that’s what I’m hoping to get so I can chill on the road

[@john-5246]

HI have been dealing with tourism and traveling for over 30 years. and recently more and more attention is paid to traveling by van. As for the Mercedes company, I have nothing to add because it is one of the best automotive companies, I used these cars myself when models such as 207d, 208d, 508d, or sedan 223 models from the 1990s were on the market. The version for sleeping and traveling, due to the power and 4x4 drive, with a raised suspension, is perfect for long and even mountain trips. If I had any comments, it would be a very modest shower room without a sink, a bit too cramped and without a window, and with a very primitive toilet. The bed is suspended very high, because as I can see you have a lot of cabinets under the bed. I wonder some of them could not be placed under the rear seat for passengers (eg batteries). It has no space for bicycles, at least two, although maybe they could fit under a fold-out bed?

[@F_Dot_]

Not bad. A few things I would have done differently like the wrap but the interior looks fire 🔥🔥🔥

Great Van! Love the green wrap but the interior just isn’t it unfortunately:( I would love a proper bed.. Shower is meh and the kitchen is just I don’t know, Sort of a let down but good job :) Im just picky I guess

[@Max-Bliss]

Great van, in mine I had a water heater plumbed in to the engine cooling system that was a heat exchanger and electric so that after just 20 minutes driving, the water was fully heated and stayed hot for over 24 hours and therefore no need for electric but handy to use electric for extended stays, also you may want to look at diesel cooking to save electric use. Awesome ideas you guys are using and very innovative, well done guys.

[@TitanVans]

We have used diesel cookers and decided against them. 30-45 minutes to heat up and longer to cool down. For the water heater, cutting into the coolant lines voids Mercedes warranty. We opt to keep the two systems separate and just use the electric option. This can still be used while the engine is running, though does require you to turn the heater on, and not use any of your battery power as it will be powered by the alternator electricity.

Overall I like most of the layout and build ideas in this van and it gives me some ideas for a future van build for myself.

The other negative is the dark interior which makes it seem like a cave as opposed to a pleasant living space. It's a small space to begin with and lightening up the interior paint and finishes would make it so much more inviting and livable. Just offering a bit of constructive criticism from a female perspective.
