Love it! Seems like the perfect van for me. Recently spent a week in a Storyteller Overland Stealth Mode, but it had more features than we really needed, and it is quite costly. The Storyteller vans have a huge battery that contribute to the high cost, but we found that we didn’t need as much battery for our mission as was installed.
Most vans use wood for the interior and "furniture". The problem is that wood absorbs moisture and swells and eventually can have mold and mildew problems. A much better solution is to use aluminum furniture. (It also adds less weight to your vehicle.) I've seen a number of vans that have the interior removed and replaced after a few years due to moisture problems.....
the tiny watts is $26k, Zen vans... $20k ish... Adventure van kit, $17k... then all the other stuff guessing van + 75-80k. These are some high end kits in this van
Are you using a fixed 35 or 50mm lens for this video? It’s a bit hard to watch as it’s so zoomed in. A little wider view would be more gentle to watch. Lovely van once again though! 👌🏻
@@VanLand UK atm. Would need to see how much complete build would cost including import taxes etc. Lovely van though! Much nicer than most of the prebuilt ones I've seen!
Another great tour. I like most of it, including no side ladder, and the clean front. I personally would prefer hydronic system rather than electric, and a few other tweaks but mostly very nice and easy to put together as you said. Im still liking the Syncline, if some customization is possible. You are my favorite.
Question to anyone who has a van , I hear a ton of horror stories about mechanical problems , I was thinking if ford transit for the 4wd , is there a van that is reliable out there or more reliable , inversely is there a brand to absolutely avoid ? I heard dodge has a ton of transition and other problems , I want to get one for retirement to travel everywhere in north America and want some peace of mind knowing that things can eventually happen
I purchased a 2019 sprinter 144 high roof van with 40k miles last week , the price was 45k$... during my search for a pre 2023 used van , I seen many sprinter vans with 150-250k miles, im not sure about overall reliability, but seeing hundreds of vans with high miles, I feel confident about my purchase, im currently starting to build my interior to my liking.. good luck
Except that everyone who buys a Revel regrets it almost immediately. We’ve seen it a hundred times- those vans are not built well and definitely not made to last. This is a completely different class of build.
@@VanLand So if I brought to you my Sprinter your company can build it out with a enclosed head and shower? I am looking at an extended dual axle Sprinter long wheel base. Thanks!

Thanks for watching.
It's awesome to see how van owners can personalize their setups to their unique needs off the AW base. Amazing build!!! 🙌
Glad you like it!
Man that's a great build! Looks like money.
Thanks- it’s very nice indeed !

Very nice , but not having à shower inside.
How much coasts. Would you make it for European standards?
Thanks
And where would you get repairs done on this van? NO, not MB.
great build ... is there a heater ? is the Van diesel ?
Yes it’s diesel and there is a diesel fired heater. 😋
Total cost all in?
Prob 150k all in. Just as much as a custom built sprinter

@@mycolebeeson3028That Tiny Watts system is $40k. It’s their 3 in 1 system that includes both electrical and water systems.
How much is it if it’s for a ford chassis. Thanks!

Lovely van once again though! 👌🏻
Agree, some amateur camera person needs some training. Yup too hard to imagine d features with focus shots😅
Love this build. The info you and your husband put out is so in depth and it's appreciated.
Thank you so much! We appreciate the feedback!
awesome design and layout
No solar panels!?! So plug in or alternator battery charging only?
The tiny watts is solar ready
Solar panels will be mounted- hadn’t been installed yet. Looking at 200 watts since there’s limited space left on the rack.
Excellent!
Many thanks!
but this ends up being more money than a lot of builders charge for an entree build. I dont get it.
Custom always costs more.
This van is prob 20k cheaper than a custom built. 150k vs 170k
You can order the components and Install them yourself, that's the point, im saving 40k in labor by turning the screws myself
I think it would be better content if you added numbers to the stuff when talking about it.
Do you have factory install for interior kits?
Yes this can be installed at Van Land.
Greetings: How did you get the AMP power boards to work on a 2023? I heard only Sprinter Store could achieve this?
Our Amp kit works great on the new models.
vanlandstore.com/products/amp-research-powerstep-running-board?_pos=2&_psq=Amp&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Is everything on the build available for international purchase?
It could be palletized. Where are you located?
@@VanLand UK atm. Would need to see how much complete build would cost including import taxes etc. Lovely van though! Much nicer than most of the prebuilt ones I've seen!
I'd be interested to know if the parts on this build could be shipped to the UK
Can this be put on a 170? With a few tweaks.
yes
$40,000 for power...tiny watts is might proud of their little power box.

Cool, thanks 🙏
Impressive build! If you like to cook, you would need another hotplate. I know I would. Two is the minimum for me
You can keep one in a drawer and plug it as needed on the counter 🫡

Why did you decide to go with the TinyWatts over the EcoFlow. I watched your earlier review of the EcoFlow and was impressed with the simplicity. Thx
This is what the customer asked for.
@@VanLand thx. So you still like the EcoFlow option.
to build my self? demn i need expensive equipment plus a warehouse to do just thatt!
What colour is the van?
its grey!
Would you know which grey?Blue grey, pebble grey, silver grey, stone grey, graphite grey,…..😂
@@VanLand would you know which grey? Blue grey, graphite grey, pebble grey, stone grey, silver grey….🤷♀️
I believe that its the blue grey😂
No pricing in this video… wasn’t that the point? How much did this cost? Is it cheaper than a Revel?
How much is it you ask? It about Supply and Demand. The more money you supply, the more money the builder demands.
Where are the solar panels?
the roof
Guessing $150K for this rig… love to know.
My sound is not working!!
No shower or enclosed head! You might as well just go out and buy a Sprinter Revel comes complete with bathroom and shower!and it’s all complete!

I didn’t see a shower did I miss it
well insulated, where is it lol
The insulation is in the walls.
Bless me with one thank you
No one will get rich over by my money. 😊😊
Probably around 350k hahaha
Nice to see NO shower in the unit. Especially in a 144. Common sense.
There's an outdoor shower on this rig
