  • I get excited when I get to tour high end vans, but what's also nice is when we get ideas from high end vans that we can do too! Check out Terra X as they as some of the best builders I've seen.

    Always love when I get the chance to check out pro builders. Terra X knows what they are doing for sure and look forward to following up with them in the future. If you want to see more tours check the playlist below. I also have vlogs for information on vanlife and vlogs of day to day. Lastly my entire last van build I made a series for too.

      @sillytorque Рік тому

      They will make a van however you want......We never used our shower so the next won't have one...... it depends on how you use the van, for us we use the van as a weekend getaway and annual summer holidays, we aren't living in it. We will have a night here and there at a "informal camp" but we will then have a few nights at a proper camping, so we can shower then. It adds cost, takes a lot of space, and showering in a van or caravan is rubbish.....

    Love it. Sadly your guests couldn't explain their ideas because you know everything they did. So, they became redundant, although if you're reviewing something that is not your project with the owners and creators, they should have, let's say, some 80 to 90 percent of the time rather on you taking over everything before they did. I could tell they would have been amazing explaining their own project.

      My goodness... You're not wrong and you're not right (including all of you who have hit thumbs up). Different people have different styles. Jarrod is over the top excited and talking over others is a part of that. If you don't like it, if it's not your preference, if it rubs you the wrong way, don't watch. Some people are here because they like his excitement. He's gotten your kind of message many times over from many people and hasn't changed probably because he doesn't want to. His choice.

      Totally thought the same thing, as an Austrian/German-American. I remember my father dropping our ceiling to save energy on heating/cooling in our very long living room. One end was 1/8 inch lower than the other, which was completely not noticeable. He took the whole thing down and redid it until it was perfect. It's in our genetic structure.

    Can't wait to see more van builds in the new AWD Transits.

      They wanted counter top space. Most van builds have like 7ft of countertop space, which is more than a studio apartment. If im not mistaken the cargo area of a sprinter 170 is 14 or 16ft long. That means they used almost half of their build on countertops. The side with the stove was like 5ft and the bed was probaly 6ft.

    The "garage" is beautiful! I'd lean toward all wood and beveled corners vs the child proof bumpers on the corners. One thing they could improve is to mount a beveled box to lift all roof items to better water proof all mounted hardware. There is no doubt Terra X is not notch craftsmanship! It really shows in the final product!

    Well done interview. Microphone for your interviewees would be helpful. Also lighting was a little dark, hard to see some items. But again, well done interview. Very informative. High lighted products you don’t see often.
