    Very impressive kit, I love the no bathroom/shower inside. I also like the Yeti power station so it is easy to take in and out. I would use my van for long weekends chasing powder in the winter and hiking from trailheads the rest of the year. I think your kit is the best one I have found for my needs. Just need to get moving on finding the right van for the build.

    Would I like an integrated AC unit, bathroom with shower and all the bells and whistles? Yes. But I have other things I would like to do with my retirement. I know my skill set does not include the DIY needed to convert my own. I know if I plan my travel route to the four seasons, I can be comfortable with this set up. Butane tabletop stoves work well for us (even indoors) when we go tent camping (get the Japanese or Korean models at the Asian markets) as well as our iCamper ISO fuel disc. Might even find space to add a portable Traeger grill. Wish you would include mounting for marine swivel table. But this is a viable, affordable option to get us out on the road. Glad your design has such a spacious dedicated sleep deck. some vans make it a project to set up a bed for an after-trail, afternoon nap. Good sleep is underrated.

    Great looking build. Do the optional add-on features like the windows and the heater have to be installed at the same time as the rest of the standard build, or can they be added later? Also, do you have any relationships with dealers to help source a van?

    • @TitanVans
      @TitanVans  6 днів тому

      We can absolutely help you source a van! Features like windows are typically installed towards the beginning of the build, for a few reasons, so these would not be able to be added after the fact.

At least in IT having the pump as close to level to a reservoir if not slightly gravity fed has always provided ideal. I know air in pump isn’t as much a worry but I wanna know how much RnD information has provided. I’ve never used that pump as I’m old and when working on rvs it was almost always sureflo.

    • @TitanVans

      Certainly! While our current design doesn't include a designated area for a composting toilet, you can certainly add one after the build is complete. This provides you with the flexibility to customize your space while still allowing us to offer the lowest prices we can. If you decide against the fridge option, consider that the galley offers a convenient spot to store the composting toilet. Thanks for the comment!
      Designated toilet locations are however implemented in our full production models like the Metis and Ultra.

    Very nice guys!! With a 2023 that houses the aux battery under the passenger seat, where would you relocate the Webasto? The cubby on passenger side seems like a good location but the Yeti is there. Also, how do you use the cubby as steps to the bed if the bed is pulled out all the way and covers over the entire cubby? I just cannot see how it can be used as a step to the bed? Maybe I do not fully see how this would work based off the video? But great build and looks like a wicked option.

      No, heat on any camper vans is not doable off of electricity unless you are plugged in to shore power. It requires too much energy to run for extended periods and the number/size of batteries needed would be cost prohibitive. The Timber van conversion/kit does not come with hot water but it could be retrofitted. Air conditioning is also not an option on the Timber, similar to the reason for the furnace.

      The total price can vary widely as customers typically acquire the van themselves based on their preferences and budget.
      Our TIMBER van conversion is designed to be fully self-contained, providing everything you need for comfortable living on the road. This includes an integrated water system with a rear shower, a comprehensive electrical system with solar and alternator charging, an extremely comfortable nearly king-sized bed, and ample storage for all your gear. When comparing costs, a 23' Sprinter van can be obtained for around $50,000, with the TIMBER conversion costing approximately $25,000. This makes our setup a significantly more affordable option than alternatives like the Storyteller Overlands, which usually run around $200,000.

In extremely cold conditions, it's essential to have a powerful heating system that can quickly warm up the interior.
