Would I like an integrated AC unit, bathroom with shower and all the bells and whistles? Yes. But I have other things I would like to do with my retirement. I know my skill set does not include the DIY needed to convert my own. I know if I plan my travel route to the four seasons, I can be comfortable with this set up. Butane tabletop stoves work well for us (even indoors) when we go tent camping (get the Japanese or Korean models at the Asian markets) as well as our iCamper ISO fuel disc. Might even find space to add a portable Traeger grill. Wish you would include mounting for marine swivel table. But this is a viable, affordable option to get us out on the road. Glad your design has such a spacious dedicated sleep deck. some vans make it a project to set up a bed for an after-trail, afternoon nap. Good sleep is underrated.

Thanks for watching!

Good job... happy for people that can afford turnkey top o the line van....i love all the small steps from boyscout neighborhood creek camping ... Ive had 5 vans all no build builds... lots of wonderful things to have fun, enthusiasm... weird for me to think of tearing out of a vehicle what i paid good hard earned cash for and pay someone another fortune to replace upgrade... im committed to a last new vehicle I'll probably buy and no build, build it for travel camping...Ford transit 350 high top, extended trails ... order 4 months ago ... ??? Most people say good luck... hard to be patient but practiced for 74 years... ha

[@cinbird6284]

Have lots of fun camping.

Wish that you have more power options as the Yeti is lithium chemistry. Would have prepare either Anker, Ecoflow or Bluetti for LifePo battery chemistry. Overall, interesting.

[@TitanVans]

Yes the Yeti is Lithium NMC as opposed to LiFePo but still is a great power. Easy enough for consumers to swap to another option if they prefer as everything is plug and play.

[@cjpwrs8263]

Beautiful build! Lots of simplicity and theres room for composting toilet!! Extra solar generators would easily fit under bed. Congratulations!

@@TitanVans yeah for some reason I thought that was already available. I almost asked. I am willing to bet your labor is priced reasonably.

Very impressive kit, I love the no bathroom/shower inside. I also like the Yeti power station so it is easy to take in and out. I would use my van for long weekends chasing powder in the winter and hiking from trailheads the rest of the year. I think your kit is the best one I have found for my needs. Just need to get moving on finding the right van for the build.

[@LilyBecca]

I would love to get a kit like this, except my number one must have is a hydraulic bed. I want a big couch/sitting area under the bed during the day. I also want a shower, but it looks like I could forego some of the cabinets to make room for a small shower. I will keep my eye on your company to see if you come out with a kit with a hydraulic bed.

[@jacktyler7599]

Clear, thorough presentation - excellent job and thank you! Of the van build-out companies I'm familiar with, this appears to be the most well considered design. Baltic Birch, Isotherm, oil/wax finish - quality seems to jump out at one. Very impressive option with only a few details to personalize (toilet, shower, install vs. portable frig).

[@H.pylori]

Thank you for this very complete demonstration of the van conversion. I like the basic setup that fits the budget and needs of the non wealthy person who can not afford $150,000. Now all that I need is the Van. Once an appointment is made, how long does it take to install the conversion? Can one drive to Boulder and then wait for the installation to be completed?

[@TitanVans]

Our main goal with this product was to make van life accessible to a wider audience. Current build times for the TIMBER are estimated at around 3 weeks and are likely to decrease as we produce more TIMBER conversions.

[@jacobcash6067]

Thanks for the question bud, and thanks to Titan for answering!!

[@rickowen4410]

It looks like a solo traveler could push the bed forward, use half the mattress, and have an open space in the back for carrying things. Is this correct? Nicely done kit. Quality materials, good fit & finish, simple & clean styling, and laid out well.

[@TitanVans]

Its designed for the bed to be slid back and used as a solo bed. It could be done as you suggest but the retaining tabs would need to be secured as the physical stop is welded only on the rear of the bed rails.

[@sandyhightower9166]

I think this is just about perfect for our 2015 Sprinter. I’ll be calling soon but I need it done next June when I have vacation time to drive out to Colorado.

[@duvessa2003]

😊

[@scottmonfort]

I hate the 1/4 tank cut off for the heater. In a larger RV that is $100 of gas. In this Van it should be 1/10 of a tank at the most ... you can still go 30 miles! Also, I often arrive in the mountains late at night with less than 1/4 tank. I can get gas in the morning and continue my journey when the gas station is open! If you go deep into the forrest, then you should really be full and be tracking your gas usage anyway! Plus, having the heater on all night does not use that much gas! ... you are not going to use even 1/4 of a tank!

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

You don’t need to eliminate doors to cabinets. Just use sliding panels for doors. BTW, your small cabinet doors under bed have the same swing out problem

[@TitanVans]

Thanks for the feedback. We have found sliding doors to rattle. The other doors that open we consider more utility storage. Nice to have both from our experience designing vans for the last 7 years.

[@TitanVans]

There's a lot to go over when it comes to this question and we're actually working on a video that goes over this. What I will say is we're partial to the Sprinter and Transit chassis.

[@Brads-strung-out]

[@lilyLily1824]

What about Pirates? JK enjoy it! Love it!

[@Oldrush]

This popped into my KZbin feed. I’m shopping these van builds and am excited to see companies offering affordable options. I like this setup. I am also looking at the wayfarer modular setup but the like this a bit better. I saw in another comment that you say your finishes are superior and I’m not sure one way or the other, but I am wondering how your spray adhesive attaching fabric right to the vehicles sheet metal is supposed to hold up to condensation? I see wayfarer uses wool insulation for a barrier and you guys use a synthetic insulation in some areas. All spray adhesives fail, so this is my only issue otherwise this is a nice clean well thought out layout.

[@TitanVans]

We've been utilizing similar products for fabric and adhesive in our full-production models for close to a decade without any signs that this setup isn't capable of handling challenging conditions. Feel free to reach out to us or the Timber team if you have any other questions!

[@user-cj7dv2kc6d]

Looks like quality work! But where do you go for a toilet and shower? Why not 30 gallon water? Air conditioner? Not intended for full timing eh.

Correct, this is tailored to those who want a simple, durable, and functional van but not planning to live full time. If your interested in other options we offer full production models through www.TitanVans.com

[@diamondly6250]

it would be nice if you did a part 1 and 2 order for the full dyi kit so you dont have to spend so much at once. for example part 1 would be the flooring, panels and pluming. and part 2 would been the bed, bed frame cabinets and so on.

For $25k, every cupboard or cubby should have a door. That's an awful lot of money to pay for "cubbies".

[@TitanVans]

While the cabinetry makes up some of the build cost, much of the cost is in the systems and labor to install. This including Li-ion batteries, solar, alternator charging, plumbing, insulation, etc.

[@alismart8113]

Fantastic. Don’t need it all. Some of us have kids so need a system for them

[@TitanVans]

This can be modded to sleep 4 people if you pick up a foldaway bench seat and something like the Cabbunk

[@aaallllen]

Is it a problem if the Ford Transit has a dealer AC unit more mid roof than where you put a fan? Also, is there a desk mode for eating or remote work?

[@TitanVans]

The Timber is currently not compatible with mid roof vans or with vans with rear AC units. Fans if already installed are easy to work around and move paneling cut outs if needed. Marine tables/Lagun tables can be added with front swivel seats to create a work/eating area.

[@mick6384]

Seems very similar to the Wayfarer 25k van build, what are some advantages and/or differences between the two?

[@TitanVans]

Quite a few differences. The Timber is offered for the Sprinter, Transit, and Promaster. We use high quality materials, marine grade hardware, and marine appliances. Our product is offered with install for less than $25k or can be shipped flat pack to your door for under $16k.

[@kitbram2033]

Very nice. Any indoor shower option?

[@TitanVans]

Not currently, however we offer some models with interior showers. www.titanvans.com/models

[@lazib008el5]

I like it but cooking, pooping and showering is all done outside?

[@TitanVans]

Not necessarily. There are many portable options for all 3 that could be incorporated by the owner after the buildout is complete. You still have ample space to store a composting toilet. There are outlets located on the galley that would allow you to utilize an induction cooktop. Although portable showering options are much more limited there are products on the market that could work.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

It doesn’t make sense to put the heater’s hot air outlet right next to the sliding door. Well if you’re stuck and you’re freezing to death you will want to drain your tank rather than die with a quarter of a tank left

[@robinrandall4133]

Can this be installed on a mid roof transit?? This is sooo perfect! 😍

[@TitanVans]

Currently only offered for high rood vans. The lofted bed design in the rear would not have enough head room in a mid roof van.

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

Such a nice looking build. BUT as a over 50 person the placement of the fuse panel is shortsighted low light small fuses no good. Make 12v breakers standard you can feel the tripped breakers in the dark which might be necessary.

[@TitanVans]

Thanks for the feedback. Keep in mind the fuses should almost never be touched unless there is an issue. They are like the house equivalent of a breaker panel. You may need to access them 1 once every few years if ever.

[@Oldrush]

Would also love to see a north south twin bed design

[@TitanVans]

Well keep that in mind when we start designing new layouts 👍

[@TLeppur]

Great video that shows this wonderful build out. Question: can the telescoping bed be moved forward leaving the garage open at the top in back. My concern is enough space under the bed for a tall bike in a cargo tray. If bed can slept on forward then the bike can go in back without concern for not fitting under the bed. Thanks!

[@TitanVans]

Due to the telescoping nature of the bed, the bed rails are designed to keep the back section stationary while the front is free floating. That being said, the bed rails could easily be flipped, moving the stationary point to the front of the bed. Also there's about 3ft of clearance under the bed which should allow most bikes to fit underneath it.

[@TLeppur]

@@TitanVansmuch appreciated reply. Thanks.

[@TLeppur]

@@TitanVans thanks for your replies. I moved the bed to just in front of the stops in back and compressed the mattresses just that much and the bike fits in front of that. I found that I like the full bed and probably will keep it that way.

Lots of trolls in the comments, eh? It looks like a nice package at a reasonable price. A serious question: what is the standing height in a transit high roof with this floor and ceiling trim? I know that you said that you were 6'2" but I'm 6'5" and trying to figure out if this will work or if I need to get a van with a pop-top. Thanks!

[@TitanVans]

6' 9" at the peak. A couple inches less at the sides.

[@Raver_S_Thompson]

Curious if any worry about having a pump located above water source has been and is sure or thought about. At least in IT having the pump as close to level to a reservoir if not slightly gravity fed has always provided ideal. I know air in pump isn’t as much a worry but I wanna know how much RnD information has provided. I’ve never used that pump as I’m old and when working on rvs it was almost always sureflo. I just don’t know it’s capabilities.

[@TitanVans]

Modern pumps are very good at self priming. We have been using this pump for years on simpler designs and never had an issue. Even with it be mountes above the tanks it always will prime and pressurize.

[@VocalVirgo]

No hot water, no shower, no toilet, no standard heat, no air conditioner. If you do the numbers, this is almost a fair price for what you get. And for what you don’t get.

[@TitanVans]

This price is whith labor to install. We now also offer this, at any even lower price, as a DIY kit that ships with everything needed to assemble and install yourself.

[@TLeppur]

Do I need to pressurize and blow out the lines to winterize this plumbing or can it drain by gravity. Thx

[@TitanVans]

We recommend using the included water pump to purge as much water as possible. However, for the best results, blowing out the lines with compressed air is ideal, as it ensures a more thorough winterization.

[@TLeppur]

@@TitanVans thank you

[@robbblair6289]

I’m wondering if you can flip the kitchen to the other side of the van? Other than that I really like this kit!

[@TitanVans]

You could but it would take up quite a bit of the slider door entrance. You would also need to flip the wheel well cabinets as all the plumbing is contained on the passenger side with the setup seen in the video.

[@mavilla221]

WoW, great video, you didn't leave out a thing! Is an A/C an option?

[@TitanVans]

Not with the Timber because of the inverter/battery size of the Goal Zero power packs. AC units would pull too much power to be practical for these systems.

[@ColbyPhillipsPhD]

Great looking build. Do the optional add-on features like the windows and the heater have to be installed at the same time as the rest of the standard build, or can they be added later? Also, do you have any relationships with dealers to help source a van?

[@TitanVans]

We can absolutely help you source a van! Features like windows are typically installed towards the beginning of the build, for a few reasons, so these would not be able to be added after the fact. Items like Webasto heaters and Maxxair fans are much easier to integrate into a finished build. Feel free to contact us or the team at Timbervankits if you need more information!

What needs to be done to substitute an Anker SOLIX F2600 Portable Power Station in place of the Yeti? What about a table for dining, what provisions for that?

[@TitanVans]

Not sure on substituting the power system, likely just swapping out the wiring harness plugs to connect in. You would also need to verify appropriate wire size for inverter output and alternator charging. Marine tables can be added easily to any camper van and simply require a recessed floor mount.

What is the ideal Ford Transit size for the full Timber van conversion. What engine (3.5L V6 or 3.5L V6 EcoBoost)? What payload (250 or 350)? What size (148 long or 148 Extended)? Will Titan Vans find the Transit for you are is it up to you to bring the van to Titan Vans? Thanks.

[@TitanVans]

148 vs 148 El is mostly personal preference (how much space would you like to have on the interior of your van). The conversion is rather light (as far as van conversions go) but going with the 350 EcoBoost will offset some of the performance lost from the additional weight of the conversion. We can help you source a new van if you'd like us to.

[@BibleMadeSimple]

@@TitanVans Thank you so much for responding to my questions. I'm really impressed with your van conversions and how you run your company. Very smart. I'm just a little ways away from pulling the trigger on a build, but when I build, I'm going to go with Titan Vans.

[@TLeppur]

What position should the valve be when filling the water tank? Will the overflow work when it is in the off position?

When filling the arrow should be pointed left or down when facing the back of the wheel well. The overflow will expel excess in any of these settings.

The set up seems expensive. How much is the total price of the van plus the conversion? Seems like a lot of money and youre not even fully “self contained”. I’m in the market for something similar but still researching.

[@TitanVans]

The total price can vary widely as customers typically acquire the van themselves based on their preferences and budget. Our TIMBER van conversion is designed to be fully self-contained, providing everything you need for comfortable living on the road. This includes an integrated water system with a rear shower, a comprehensive electrical system with solar and alternator charging, an extremely comfortable nearly king-sized bed, and ample storage for all your gear. When comparing costs, a 23' Sprinter van can be obtained for around $50,000, with the TIMBER conversion costing approximately $25,000. This makes our setup a significantly more affordable option than alternatives like the Storyteller Overlands, which usually run around $200,000.

@John_Duh_Vader This van includes the (Finished option, Bunk Windows, Driver-side Awning Window, Maxxair Fan, and the EVO 40 heater option). Fully installed here at Titan Vans will run approximately $32,000. If you opt for the shipped kit these options will still fall under the $25k mark.

[@John_Duh_Vader]

@@TitanVans seriously considering a simple build with less components that can go wrong. Much appreciate the info and getting back to me. That says a lot.

[@staceyater8761]

Would it be at all possible to run the heat off of the solar? Gas is a bit pricey. Better than it was but still not what it was before this administration. I don't recall you mentioning a hot water heater. No hot water is a no go for me. 😢 Also is there an option for air conditioning? I don't like dying.

[@TitanVans]

No, heat on any camper vans is not doable off of electricity unless you are plugged in to shore power. It requires too much energy to run for extended periods and the number/size of batteries needed would be cost prohibitive. The Timber van conversion/kit does not come with hot water but it could be retrofitted. Air conditioning is also not an option on the Timber, similar to the reason for the furnace. If you are y wanting these features, check out our full production line at www.TitanVans.com, we have many options including water heaters and AC.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

Transits are not good candidates for overhead cabinets due to intrusive bulge where walls meet roof/ceiling and the premature slope of the roof two feet behind the front seats compared to Sprinters and Promasters.

[@jh9616]

Do you include insulation for cold climents in the build?

[@TitanVans]

Yes the Timber includes full insulation throughout the walls, doors, and ceiling.

[@andreathomas2099]

I want it now......

[@Nicole-fj3pt]

This is very nice, but adding veneer edging to the wood would go a long way. The raw edges look cheap.

[@TitanVans]

Thank you so much! Maintaining a respectable price point was our main concern with this product. All of our full-production models come with some form of edge banding on the cabinetry.

[@SylvainSybaris]

regarding the spray shower... can it be switched to a heated shower of just the temp from the tank.

[@TitanVans]

The Timber van kit is not offerred with a hot water option. The water at both the sink and exterior wash will be whatever the ambient temperature of the water is in the fresh water tank.

[@pjbeattie1]

Very nice guys!! With a 2023 that houses the aux battery under the passenger seat, where would you relocate the Webasto? The cubby on passenger side seems like a good location but the Yeti is there. Also, how do you use the cubby as steps to the bed if the bed is pulled out all the way and covers over the entire cubby? I just cannot see how it can be used as a step to the bed? Maybe I do not fully see how this would work based off the video? But great build and looks like a wicked option. Will this be offered as a DIY? Or any other DIY kits coming online with you guys?

[@TitanVans]

Yes, eventually we will releaee this as a DIY kit that you can assemble and install yourself!

[@pjbeattie1]

@@TitanVans thanks guys! Trying to battle a little bit for you online with all the dumb comments. Anyways, what about the Webasto heater location for newer vans with aux batteries?

[@TitanVans]

@@pjbeattie1 is that Ford specific? Possibly a specific option with Ford? This video is of a 2023 Ford Transit 148 and the batteries were still located under the driver seat. Mercedes is still under the driver side floor board.

[@pjbeattie1]

@@TitanVanshey guys no sorry I meant for a new Sprinter. The new vans have the auxiliary battery under the passenger seat and the heaters cannot fit very well with the battery in there as well, so I hear? Are the brand new Sprinters that you have built not having the Aux battery under the passengers seat?? The dealer says the change was for the 2023 year with AWD.???

[@TitanVans]

@@pjbeattie1 No, they are mistaken. We have built dozens of builds on the 23 AWD Sprinters. Battery is still under driver floor board. Same for 24 as well, we have some coming in in Decemember

[@アランパーソンプロジェクト]

Please give us the break down on your material and labor please !! From looking at the video , your material should not cost more than $7k

[@TitanVans]

The Timber Van Conversion is currently only offered with install and prices are listed on our site. www.TitanDIYkits.com With the electrical system, water tank, plumbing, cabinetry made from the highest grade plywood, stainless steel latches, top of the line hinges, and marine grade flooring, we believe this product is priced extremely competetively.

[@embr9723]

@@TitanVansAlso, as a former designer, I’d like to point out that you aren’t just buying materials. You are paying for the many, many hours of planning, test tries, and experience of the designers. You are paying them to make all the mistakes first so that you don’t have to. Not everyone will love the design, but respect to the people who put this together- it’s a well thought out option at a good price that will work for a lot of people. Thank you for the option!

[@TitanVans]

@@embr9723 Thanks, certainly a lot of folks these days that undervalue the effort of engineering and design. This product took us 3.5 years to develop with many....many....iterations.

[@JamesMcGillis]

I did not see any options for storage of a cassette or other toilet. Obviously, no shower or hot water.

[@TitanVans]

Utilizing the extra cabinet space in the galley for toilet storage is certainly an option. There's also ample room between the slider door and bed, or between the galley and driver seat for this. While the TIMBER doesn't currently have an option for an interior shower, it does have the spray-down shower off the rear of the van. Many of these features are available for our premium models found at www.titanvans.com/

[@peterkettelkamp7162]

Could there be an option for a composting toilet?

[@TitanVans]

Certainly! While our current design doesn't include a designated area for a composting toilet, you can certainly add one after the build is complete. This provides you with the flexibility to customize your space while still allowing us to offer the lowest prices we can. If you decide against the fridge option, consider that the galley offers a convenient spot to store the composting toilet. Thanks for the comment! Designated toilet locations are however implemented in our full production models like the Metis and Ultra.

[@ritaweygint4038]

Beautiful!

[@TitanVans]

Thank you!

[@gregmano427]

What do you guys use for the bed slide mechanism?

[@TitanVans]

The bed is manufactured in house, it less of a mechanism and more of an assembly.

[@patriciatusay1768]

Basic product and maybe a little too much storage space. I would be interested if there was a bathroom. Thanks!

Everything checks out...just wondering about those air bubbles in the fabric above the driver side sleeping window...are they all like this or is this something to expect if we order a kit?...I still would get one just like mine not to have any bubbles.

[@TitanVans]

Those are not air bubbles but actually a bump out to allow the factory wire harness to pass through.

[@TCDShow]

How could anyone pick this as a van home? Eye roll… anyways Great content

[@cloudytuesdays]

Can the bed be used as a desk? Or how would two people work there comfortably?

[@TitanVans]

Certainly could be or add a marine table foe the front chairs and add swivels.
