I WILL BE ATTENDING the Barrett Jackson car show in Scottsdale, Arizona JANUARY 18-26. This is your chance to see the Odyssey Lite in person! Click the link in my bio to schedule an exclusive tour with me.
Easily the best 144 build I've seen. Its amazing how you have cramped all that functionality and comfortability in this small van. Cant wait for your course!
love this layout! I'm a huge fan of the 144 size and you've come up with a way of utilizing every square inch so that you don't have to sacrifice any creature comfort that you would get with a 170. Bravo!
This is the best 144 sprinter build. Very well thought out. I would have loved to see the toilet installed on a drawer slide and come out of the closet.
Thank you! I’ve put a lot of thought into a sliding toilet for this layout and it just didn’t make sense this time. It would eat into the already valuable storage space. Plus if used for vacations, some people can actually take it out
@@lucasravizza Maybe if it slid into the gear storage? You would only be losing a little off the bottom. Most gear would still fit. Either way great build
I love this one too! Awesome! I’d want mine to have the skylight above the bed! Being a solo female it would make things a lot more comfortable in case I got the knock! I could answer from the top and not slide my door open, to whom ever. It makes perfect sense in my head! lol! Plus I want to gaze at the stars and I’m terrified of ladders! I can’t wait for the build! Very exciting!
Best 144 build I have seen yet. Top notch work and design. Luxurious, yacht type build and finishes. Extremely functional. Impressive. Wish I could buy it.
@@james99118 If you have to ask, you may be unable to afford it. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but look at the time and thought he put into this van, not to mention the materials. If you can afford a vacation home or cottage, you can afford this van; if not, you should consider doing it yourself. I love his designs; he was the first van builder to use the van's front space for the bathroom. I have always wondered why van builders didn't utilize this space since it's closer to the driver, and the whole reason for having a bathroom is to use it while you're traveling.
Seriously Lucas, I WISH I could afford you. My British 1800’s cottage sold in 6 days, but sadly I had surgery go wrong - due to the anaesthetists negligence (bloody w@nker) - a couple of years ago & have used all my savings & a massive chunk of my equity as I can’t work. I have lived in my house for literally HALF my life (bought it pretty young), I am going to miss it, but the plan is a van conversion for myself & two dogs & then just travel all over Europe & Scandinavia! 🤞🏼🍀 You obviously also wouldn’t travel to London to make me a camper!! Something I really want, which most people don’t have is HANGING space. I know you did in this one, but I would love more. I was thinking you could add a section in the big Odyssey, but this dinky one might be challenging. I also REALLY want to be able to have a cushion on the roof to watch the sun go down - would the walkable panels be ok with prolonged weight? Anyway, I shall stop dreaming that your van will ever be a reality, but I am looking forward to the next one. Annoyingly I am right on target for MARCH 2025!!! 🖤🪽
The level of detail and consideration for ultimate functionality in a van is incredible! After seeing this, Ravizza is definitely my favorite van builder.
Your design for Odyssey and Lite are absolute perfection, the best I have seen so far. Congratulations!!! I love DIY and I build everything for myself, so I cannot wait to see your detailed build guides and learn more.. the more detail you include and the longer the videos are the better.. I learnt so sooo much DIY from UA-cam it's the best learning resource.
Absolutely beautiful! And nicely done. I for one enjoy the concept of swiveling the front seats back to create another focal living area. But I guess to each their own.
Man, amazing job on this 144! Everything so well thought out and executed. Everything has its place. Most cut out showers in the short wheelbase Sprinters, instead you used it as the perfect buffer between the cab and camper. Top quality products used throughout. 👏👏👏👏👏
Love this van it’s better than the sprinters I’ve seen built by companies in the UK and Europe. Better thought out looks way more comfortable and has all the bells and whistles congratulations on producing a superb product!
I’m the same size as you and have worried about being too tall for one and you just put out the perfect build in the smallest model. Well done brother. Will be in contact in the future.
YAS !!! You guys are all on fire ! Love this in the 144 specifically ! Layout, finish & utilities all top tier ! Congrats fratello ! Genuinely impressed !!
Bonjour.👋 Merci pour cette belle vidéo. Ton aménagement est juste incroyable. Tout est vraiment bien pensé et fait avec soin. Un travail de passionnés. L'emplacement de la douche 👍, l'évier face à la table de cuisson 👍 l'éclairage des meubles 👍la clim, le chauffage, le petit garage à l'entrée 👍 l'installation électrique 👍 ... Tout est parfait pour moi 💪 Mais j'habite en France 🥺 Encore merci
Fantastic! Thank you for the full video. This is finally a 144 that I love. I don’t want bigger and thought I’d be forced to do it. Im not ready to buy but when I do, I hope you’re still building
Dude I have been looking forward to you making a guide about your van conversion. This is awesome! I'll be following you closely, while building my campervan!
amazing work brother! for me too its “easily the best 144 build ive seen” just got myself a 170 Sprinter that im totally excited to build out for the next summer to travel with my wife and by then 1yo baby. cant wait for the course! subscribed :)
Best layout on 6 meters long!!! A real masterpiece! Personally, i would juste add a large skywindow into the shower to increase the height. :) Congrat's mister Ravizza!
You are truly a stand out talent in this very saturated van conversion world, @Lucasravizza I am particularly in love with your slide out closet/shower/bathroom hybrid. I can only find the short reel showing it, not the full van tour. I would love some follow up on how it has held up and wonder why you ditched that design for the corner shower in your Odyssey and Odyssey Lite builds.
Very impressive. Wish you were in my country so I can order one. ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME, WHILE TRAVELLING..how can you not love travelling in this van?!?
After watching you are so close to 100% detail as I see exposed cables on the roof that will be weathered in time you can add some type secondary exterior protection and a bet cleaner look your work is awesome hold a new level as you do hope to do some business down the road

Awesome build! Really love the walk through shower and the Happijac bed set up. I just subscribed in order to see the educational videos coming next. Not sure if it's impolite, but if so, I'd be happy to DM vs. share in comments... but this van is essentially what I'm hoping to get with maybe a few cosmetic differences... I'd love to know what you would charge to build something similar in 2025.
amazing! you just need a washing machine and you are done :P the problem with with the dry flush its that its very expensive to operate, since the foils last nothing and are so expensive, pee and poo cost you 1,5$ each time. At 4 times a day, thats like 180$ a month to use your toilet.
Amazing build quality and craftsmanship. I only never understand the lifting beds. They waste so much head cabinetry space? At least if im traveling with 2 people i feel like we are missing so much storage for clothes
Gorgeous work and the walk through shower is genius. Judging on the quality I’m sure it’s not cheap. What is the range of cost for a build like this? Do you work up and down on options to work with budgets?
WOW! Two questions. Can that roof rack accommodate folding hammock bars for roof top sleeping? And the beds on the inside, can the top one be stopped mid-way to allow bunks so both beds can be used at he same time? The most inclusive van I have seen!
Hey! Yep the beds can be stopped half way to create bunk beds but you’d have to throw kids up there. And I would assume that yes you can with the hammock
@@lucasravizza Are you saying kids because of tight squeeze between bed and ceiling? I have a gf visit me when I am camping and I am NOT interested in sharing a bed with her, lol. That van has it all, just trying to figure out two seperate adult sleeping spaces! :) I am in the market after the first of February!
Clean! Prefer this lighter colour over the grey, wouldn’t even bother with textured walls to me it doesn’t add much imo. What did you use for bench tops? The matt black looks neat
Do u have a drawn up layout for someone to use for their own build, my plan is to do a pro master so I won’t need to do bump outs and can be more inconspicuous
As a 6'3'' I've been also thinking about the flares (bump outs) but I just haven't seen a single interoir design with them that would look good. It usually goes with these narrow little prison-like windows and that just doesn't appeal to me. Anyone has seen them with big windows (at least 110x50 cm)?
Yea I wish they had bigger windows too. It might be a structural and weight issue for the bump outs to hold a bigger window. Although if that isn’t true, you have your first product

Thank you! I am still surprised that it all fit 😅
I think this is one of the best, if not the best van layouts for the 144. Love it. Well done!
Thank you!
Agreed 💯
this is THE best I have seen so far. Great Lucas. You have made a jewel. Congratulations
love this layout! I'm a huge fan of the 144 size and you've come up with a way of utilizing every square inch so that you don't have to sacrifice any creature comfort that you would get with a 170. Bravo!

Excited to see you build out this new van for all of us to learn from. great for the van life community, your builds are always amazing!
Thanks 👍
That heating system is next level. Only .15 gallons per hour? That’s crazy efficient.
Yea it’s no joke and it cranks in the winter
Odyssey Lite is my latest van build 🚐 What do you guys think?
Looks amazing, curious about the price points
love it! You didn’t mention a price…

apart from the finish quality that is amazing, I am so impressed from the layout. congratulations on this project it is really a piece of art.
Wow thank you!
Amazing. So well thought out!!
can't wait for that tutorial, I wish I could just travel and build it there with you lol.
Let’s make it happen! Hopefully you can follow along during the course
@ hey man, don’t threat me with a good time you might be looking at your new volunteer 😂.
Beautiful
Just WOW 🎉
Crazy impressive space efficiency! 👏
Thank you!

In the 170, there’s 42 gallons of water, and a 140 Liter fridge

Unfortunately not

Are you able to heat the shower area up enough to create a dry sauna?
It can get pretty hot. Up to 80 so not quite

From Portrilux

It starts early next year around March!

What lighting products do you recommend? Looks great.
LED light strips from Amazon
Awesome build and layout. Curious what the weight comes in at…
I think it was around 7,500 lbs

Do u have a drawn up layout for someone to use for their own build, my plan is to do a pro master so I won’t need to do bump outs and can be more inconspicuous

Mastery
Do you have a link for he projector??
Is there no full tour video of this?
Amazing 🤩 Cost 💲 Please 🙏🏽
Base builds start at $225,000 and that includes the van
All I would change would be to add 1k w of solar. 🎉
That would be nice! Doing a solar sail in the next one
