I had the pleasure of visiting Dustin last year when I started planning my build. He helped me a with the few questions he answered in the short time I was there. I even got to see one of his builds that just had some upgrades, and briefly spoke with the owner. I can't speak highly enough of this guy, his shop, and his enthusiasm about his craft.
I don't know why I'm watching this Van life thing every day all night . I just love watching it and dreaming although I know it's not gonna happen . And this CEO guy , I've seen him so many times , he's the best!!!
I had been thinking about a 3 part Murphy bed myself to make full use of width for a massive bed, I hadn’t seen anyone else use this method until now. Thanks I now know it works and is possible. This is an amazing van!!!
the bed folding to one side, allowing, theoretically, to extend the galley's worktop to the very end of the van is really critical in a short base such as the 144 chassis. hugely space saving and making electrics and plumbing super accessible 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great video and cool layout. Thanks so much for doing these videos. I am in the portland area building out a 2019 sprinter 170 extended 4x4 very cool to learn about all these local resources. If your still in the area when I am done it would be cool to have you do a tour. Thanks again Luis
For my first child we had a diaper disposable system. It was a long tube and you put your diaper in and twist it. and it never smalled. So it makes perfect sense to design a toilet that does the same thing... so cool.
Wow lovely home o really like it and especially the toilet 🚽 wow good idea where you got it didn't see your fridge our freezer but well done love your bed.
Those inches are so important... between tire and that sliding door, when it is opening... Reminding me over following quote :) "Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more." ~ Louis L'Amour
@@milcotto4153 Front tires looks like quite ok even with mud there, but true back tires might be slightly problematic even. On the other hand, that van might never get itself for that kind of terrain where it would be any danger with the mud... BUT, I suppose that if that might become small problem, then they should be able to fix that issue. Let`s see, if they might test it on the roughest terrain with lot`s of mud...
@@milcotto4153 Apparently you guys didn't listen to him when he said he took it out on some rough terrain and sand and mud and didn't have any problems
Love this van color and specs. So much functionality. How much would a complete van be for all? I’m looking to invest in one, could you give estimate to get something just like your van. Anyway to rig one just like that with sleeper for 5 to 7 if needed for emergency.
If the batteries are in a super low state of charge they might overheat the alternator during idle if you don’t have a dc-dc charger or 3-stage externally regulated alternator. Also, once the batteries cut-off the charge upon reaching 100% SOC, it could destroy the alternator due excess current that has nowhere to go.
From van builds I've seen they usually use a thin layer of wood or frames of wood first to put the insulation behind or with, then use industrial glue or something of the sort.
This may sound small but I wish it was shown how the bed comes down (6:20) and what the space looks like with the bed up where the floor is and if the bed comes down is one piece and if the cushions for the bed have segments? Perhaps there's ano ther video that shows this on their website or if they have a UA-cam channel? also as a suggestion at the corner of the counter which is next to the two seats that go down, perhaps the kitchen countertop Corner could be more narrow at that spot or have an indentation so the corner doesn't come out like that so that when the two seats are upright a person can pass through diagonally without running into the two seats. finally as a suggestion the company needs to consider also having a different color scheme version of the van perhaps wheree more of the ceiling and walls are white - tbh I wouldn't initially consider this van bc the general dark look but with a more light color palette option and a tour where you get to seen the whole of the interior as one shot from back wall to front of van i would consider watchng the tou again to ponder if its livable. Right now im having to use my imagination to do that however it is something that a few good shots of the interior of the van could Remedy or even if there is a van life couple who would provide a tour of the van that they have been living in
hello, what was the name of the company at arount 21:10 for the cabinet above driver, I heard "shuxin" in black metal with an "S", not sure spelling is correct. Thanks in advance !
Incinerating toilet don't make sense for van life. They are too expensive and they take too much power. It's a longevity thing with the power too, because most power systems can handle the power but over time and using it many times a day doesn't make sense on a battery draw.
You have the faucet and soap dispenser I just installed in my home. I am looking for the B van and for someone like you to build it out. How do I get in touch?
He only has two 45-watt solar panels charging two 120-amp hour batteries, but the batteries also charge from the alternator when the van is running. He also mentioned that he built another van for a customer that had more solar capacity and five batteries that gave it a total of 600 amp hours, and they were able to run air conditioning for 8+ hours. I love stuff that is overbuilt, so I would go for the 600 amp hour beast. The only drawback is that there would not be any room for a deck on the roof unless you bought heavy-duty solar panels that are safe to walk on.
How do you run a induction cook top and a electric water heater off a 2500 inverter? Is there a switch that only allows you to run one at a time? Or can you only use the water heater when hooked up to shore power?
Hi, I am going to be 2 adults, and 4 children ( 3 girls and 1 boy; all under the age of 10) --- I am looking for a 4x4 unit that can handle traveling and hauling with the crew. our bicycles and able for me to use as my mobile office. What would the approximate cost of a NEW VAN BUILD and a USED VAN BUILD??? STAY HEALTHY!!!
Please contact van builder directly because the price can range from $60k to $200k (not including cost of 4x4 van which is about $60k) depending on certain wants and needs throughout the build
UA-cam is a love for me and I'll always share content and what I've learned with everyone. I make income in various ways. What's upsetting me with van life UA-cam is there's SO MUCH misinformation out there. It's a lot of people that made the mistakes back when I first started out years ago but I never made content about my mistakes. And now people are taking what these others are saying as gold but there will be hard truths coming soon. In regards to a house, building a home, another van is still up in the air. I can tell you what I want but having money is a factor. I want to build a container home on a lake somewhere, BUT I also want a workshop space to build another van. I have some plans in mind and right now I'm just having things play out and I hope to have my ducks in a row soon. oh and comedy, it's sorta on hold for obvious reasons but my brother and I are now doing my podcast together! Hope to be back in stage full time this time next year
At 20:33 in the video, there is a retractable cable mechanism to limit the pivot of the side table. Where does this mechanism come from? Is it custom, or retail?
@@JarrodTocci are you sure because i had a cdl i think class c is when the vehicle is less than 1799 pounds, class b is 18000 to 25999, and class a is over 26000 pounds I'm not sure if the weight is right but its on the back of the license
@@raymondmotosue4568 class b is the smallest of the 3. I know it's weird. Class a is the big bus type. Class c is mid size and class b are the small sprinter, Promaster, transit and I believe under 15000 but I'll have to check the weights on that. But definitely the class b is the smallest
@@JarrodTocci well I'm from Hawaii and we don't have any recreational vehicles in Hawaii i tried to check with California with no help I checked with Washington state and i think I'm right about the ABC and why everyone should have that type of license just because of the h endorsements for hazardous material like propane
@@JarrodTocci ok i found out why some vans are class b, because it has a tow bar that can tow over 5000 pounds and together with that makes it a TOTAL GCWR over 15000 pounds

I've never thought about having someone build me a van until I saw this. Awesome build.
I had been thinking about a 3 part Murphy bed myself to make full use of width for a massive bed, I hadn’t seen anyone else use this method until now. Thanks I now know it works and is possible.
This is an amazing van!!!
Please, would love information on the foldable seat. Awesome build. Lots of extra thought put into this build for sure.
This is by far and away the best van build I've ever seen.
You can tell that Dustin approaches everything very professionally! Quality work.
FINALLY! Something I can use with my motorcycle. Thanks so much Jarrod! Love the channel. Keep 'em coming.
Where can I buy these foldable seats? They are amazing!
This build is excellent and now my favorite. Hopefully some day I will own one.
Nice van. Thank you for another fun tour.

Are you kidding? We are talking about grown men and women using it.
Wow lovely home o really like it and especially the toilet 🚽 wow good idea where you got it didn't see your fridge our freezer but well done love your bed.
Without a doubt, Overland Van Project will be building my van in the future
That is exactly what I’m thinking right now!
That's awesome guys, very inspiring ! Thanks for sharing !
Great build! Thanks for using our Foldaway seat.
Very cool, so functional and the shou sugi ban bamboo beautiful
Excited to see you using the Laveo dry flush. I have one on order now!
Very very friendly van..
Hi from Kiev..
Thanks you..👍
Awesome van layout, so nice, thanks for sharing and as always stay safe, safe travels, and God bless love ya Nancy
Jarred, awesome interview 💫✨and Overlandvan Does some crazy work thank you
the ceiling is beautiful!😀
Great build! Well thought out! I recommend second alternators just to be completely in charge of the electrical power from the engine :)
Awesome build!
谢谢博主，你拍的内容非常丰富，谢谢你让我了解了国外的房车文化和知识，希望能看到你更多的视频更新。
The strip lights remind me of a bachelorette party in a limo. I bet that flooring is easy! We have it on pontoon.
The pro fit and finishes is what sets this rig apart from the rest... Love the countertops and super clean electrical install 🤘🤘🤘
Joseph Gordon Levitt is building vans now? Dude does everything, cool build.
The term for his military truck is UAV "URBAN ASSAULT VEHICLE" 😀
Or a LMTV Light Medium Tactical Vehicle.
I have a 2001 Pleasureway RV I wish I had some of this magic in my van.
I really like the long ceiling lights. What brand are they? Thanks Jarrod for all you do.

Those tires look unable to spin around if they get the slightest bit of mud on them. They look way to big for the van.

Hi
I am very interested on the passenger retractable bench... can you give us more information on that item?
Awesome tour! Where does he keep the e-bike when in motion. Can the spare tire go under? Always worried about theft.
Spare tire locks and can't go under because of size increase
Beautiful rig! Did they give any kind of cost estimate for the vehicle and build? Looking for total cost.
Total cost with van is right around the same as a Revel, $165k
Any insight on how the bamboo ceiling is attached? I don't see any fasteners
From van builds I've seen they usually use a thin layer of wood or frames of wood first to put the insulation behind or with, then use industrial glue or something of the sort.

If the Murphy bed came down already made up, add the shower and this would be perfect.
I’d love to have a van to just hit the road in. Great channel and new subscriber 👍💜
Thank you for watching :)
Where did you get that folding back seat? Or did you fabricate it?
Please tell us!

@@burningsky23 looks nice but a tad bit too expensive especially since the upholstery does not look that finished. Great concept though.
Very nice set up

awesome van I'll never be able to afford lol
Those two 'molinillos" you bought from Oaxaca are actually to make hot chocolate (makes it foamy) not to grind things lol
Hi Jarrod, Great tour!
Beautiful great van ❤
Awesome channel, just subscribe. Been looking into van life. What do you recommend on storyteller overland stealth or would recommend another?
FINALLY someone did a different toilet!!! Do an incinerating toilet next ~ PLEASE
Incinerating toilet don't make sense for van life. They are too expensive and they take too much power. It's a longevity thing with the power too, because most power systems can handle the power but over time and using it many times a day doesn't make sense on a battery draw.
OMG this van is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This Dustin guy is a cool shit. Great video!
This is the opposite of stealth haha, I wouldn't want to live in this without a security system! It's so nice though
Is it the opposite of stealth because of that ceiling thing that comes out from the side of the van sorry but I forget the name of those awnings?
How much does this whole setup cost
Only thing I would might change is a two way door on fridge.
Nice build, quality shows! What fridge is he using?
It’s a Vitrifrigo
Nice
What companies make those amazing captains seats and jump seats?
can anyone provide any info on the folding passenger seat? thanks,
It’s on overlandvanproject.com under shop!
@@dsauer0117 thanks,
What is the cost of this van?
Love the bamboo.
Who manufactures the fold and flip seat? I would like to put one in my van>
You have the faucet and soap dispenser I just installed in my home. I am looking for the B van and for someone like you to build it out. How do I get in touch?
where can I find that folding seat?
Overlandvanproject.com under shop :)
“You down with OVP?”
“Yeah you know me.”
Ahahaha that was brilliant
Lol that rap is sooo old.
This van is clean!! Love the tour. Silly question - If you want to go off grid for a while, is that enough battery?
He only has two 45-watt solar panels charging two 120-amp hour batteries, but the batteries also charge from the alternator when the van is running. He also mentioned that he built another van for a customer that had more solar capacity and five batteries that gave it a total of 600 amp hours, and they were able to run air conditioning for 8+ hours.

How do you run a induction cook top and a electric water heater off a 2500 inverter? Is there a switch that only allows you to run one at a time? Or can you only use the water heater when hooked up to shore power?
Yes it's best to have a switch for most things in a van. The ability to turn off any product is key and you wouldn't run both at the same time.
Bed frame as a unit? When? I’m interested
What is the info for the shower?
I like it
The flares. Are they painted black or is that the color they come in ? Thanks.
I believe you can order them to match color of the van
Thank you

Its posible to put toilet&shower room

Does he do partial builds ? Or only full builds ?
Full builds but he also owns a company called Alpine Vanworks and those are kits which could help your needs
At 20:33 in the video, there is a retractable cable mechanism to limit the pivot of the side table. Where does this mechanism come from? Is it custom, or retail?
Or, is it just a piece of cable with a "knot" on the hidden end to limit the travel?
It's a cable system but custom done. Not sure how they did the custom part of it
Did anybody notice when he had the toilet seat cover up the angry eyes on each side of the toilet seat..lol
