Hi Hank this is a long one but thanks to you and him I have a better idea of Midwest automotive process for making a RV and I have a suggestion for the van with individual seats and the r&d is right there can they design a seat like the airline seat with a folding table incorporated to the seat and I am looking forward to the transit based RV from them ❤😊
Would love to see Midwest do something on the Transit chassis to hide or conceal the water hookups and various wetbay connections in a fashion similar to the Mercedes.
one reason why I don’t want a generator is it lowers the ground clearance. With the lithium batteries underneath will it be the same ground clearance as if there was a generator? And how are the batteries protected? Great video thanks Hank
Nice video, Hank. My 2024 Ford Patriot has the 10-way power seats with heat and massage. A real game changer on a long drive. When I first saw it had power seats that didn’t turn, I was a bit put off at first, but I have a bad back and not only can you make more adjustments with the power seats, but I frequently make small changes when driving to make it more comfortable. Mine also came with the built-in Starlink but I don’t have the cellular connection he was talking about for the Firefly. I need to see if I can add that as I travel with my dog and would like something better than the Waggle.
That pattern on the concept vans seats are bothering me. They look like a certain part of the female anatomy. I get it from a artistic view. Many things look like that.
With all that Benz luxury why can't they have a rear view digital mirror like the dodge ram...Midwest should get modernized and create a more youthful Class B between an Adventure and luxury van or else these vans are going to sit on the lot......
Way to much MDF doesn't matter how many coats of sealer you put on it Its still cardboard. I will take plywood with a veneer, laminate or a composite over MDF or OSB board. And really he is going to try and sell us on OSB for the floor. Did he do a pull test on putting screws in OSB. Really! A Coachmen class b is built with better materiel's then a Midwest. And now the dividing line for Esha lance in a class B is having a macerator. This guy is so full of him self that even Hank just says Hmmmm and lets him talk.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I will share that suggestion with Ron this week while I am in Elkhart.
Great video with tremendous insights into the Sprinter van market and Midwest Automotive Design. Well worth watching.
They have solid Marine grade composites for use today. They could have went that route.
Hank did a great job. Well, done, my friend. What a great factory.

Jim needs an entire interview dedicated to him.

Is there a cost savings to the end user on the these specific chassis?
Thanks for the Video , Always impressed with Midwest Designs " Quality Products " , Did not know J.D. Vance had a second job , lol
You’re welcome and yeah Ron does look like Vance 🤣
I wish they would consider the Toyota Coaster in America. That would be the most amazing chassis.
How much is a macerator pump, labor and installation time?
What does Jim Brown think of the Toyota Coaster as a chassis?
What’s the difference between the patriot and the passage?
Do they perform a water test?
They have a lot of women working here. He's right everyone should be wearing PPE and breathing PPE is definitely needed.
Tan is America's away colors.
Obviously they are restricted on building at a higher volume/per day.
So he said bo macerator in a van equals a poor persons van. Did I get that right?
Hank has kids?
