I love how he understands that any rattle is never to be tolerated! EVER! ❤️
Well. I have watched a lot of build over the years. How have I not heard of this company? This has got to be the crown jewel of the road. What an amazing team!
Thanks for the support Jodie. Glad you enjoyed.
I agree, they exceed Road Treks which (were) IMO the leaders in advanced battery systems by far! AR, as i previously posted, does custom details not found by most RV van designers. I am picky with my choice of vehicles, aircrafts and jewelry after working my tale off over the last fifty years and just will not settle for business class anymore AR is First class!
@@michaelsmith9308 right on. 💥💥👊🏻
I agree 100 %
Very good. Very expensive.
I like the fact that you help me improve the design to my needs.
THIS SILVER MBS VAN IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS !!!! ADANCED RV ??? THAT'S A HUGE UNDER STATEMENT. MORE LIKE ADVANCEDDDDDDDDDDD !!!!!!! X 10000000000000000000000000
My channel is all about self-conversions and I'm usually skeptical of "professional" van conversion companies... That being said, this build is legendary. The amount of forethought put into the interactions of each component is a demonstration of how truly skilled your engineers & builders are. Very impressive.
Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. Awesome channel by the way!
This shit is for millionaires. No one we know could afford this bro.
Why would you be skeptical of professional conversion companies?
@@jeremyfreetoroam because a lot of them should be called Bodegit and Scarper ltd
Seven... I really enjoy and learn a lot from your channel! Keep "trucking". :-)
I LOVE HOW MUCH YOU CARE ABOUT THE BUILDS THAT COME FROM YOUR SHOP, THAT'S TOP NOTCH STUFF!
IT GIVES ME HOPE FOR THE HUMAN RACE. 😁
Advanced RV? Never heard of this company! THAT is criminal! This is a TRULY awesome build! They need a marketing team to get the word out because the finish of this build is BEAUTIFUL! EVERYONE should know this company! I LOVE this build! LOVE IT! Those cabinets are BEAUTIFUL! This is just a terrific build! As a side note, how on EARTH can you have a van with no windows! That makes me sad! If you go to the ocean, how can you see it as you sleep? LOL...to each his own!
Incredible. I just getting a feeling the customers are preparing for a American revolution, stealth luxury.
hatch readily accesses the roof mounted 50Cal..
This is the best RV I’ve ever seen! The team is very talented.
The greatest camper van I ever saw,salute to all the professional workers there.
I have one word WOW 👏 👍👍👍🗽🇺🇸🗽THE VERMONTER
This RV manufacturing people remind me of Boeing company, great quality , proud of you guys .
Absolutely unreal! These guys are “true” professionals / craftsmen of their work👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 watched every second of this epic build - favorite part is the roof hatch instead of a ladder
OMG. What a team! This sets the bar high. Thank you for sharing.
For anyone wondering why company converted vans seem so expensive compared to building one at home... Please view this video :D That... is a lot of crafts people that all need paying and deserve their income... Incredible process video, highly enlightening.
While I understand the price, sadly its a price I can't afford... but... as someone just starting their own build journey... this has made me see the build in a way no "home" build channel has ever show me, no matter how good or extensive those channels can be. And don't get me wrong, there are some incredible home build channels out their with incredible content. But to see professionals, who do this for a living and clearly have done for the better part of their careers, and so how they approach it... has been a massive help.
thanks so much for the uploads.... truly appreciated
Neil - our team appreciates your thoughtful comment. Thanks for watching our work.
Cannot afford, yet appreciate the design, engineering and build quality as well as video production. Excellent.
I've watched hundreds of van videos for ideas, this just set the bar really high!
What an honor! Thank you for the support 🚐
All it takes is $ lol
too high and impressive.
Advanced RV How does one get in touch with your company?
Just found it. Thank you very much.
wow there might be no reason to watch van conversion videos again. does not get better than this. great video
We are grateful for your kind words, Mitchell. Thank you.
@@AdvancedRV where is the the price for the 4th time. Must be overpriced! Absolutely
I keep coming back to watch this one. I just love how they made living so comfortably in just 144” a possibility.
This is not only breathtaking but also why we need a bit more recognition and appreciation for these craftsmen.
The level of pride, skill, and subsequent fit and finish makes this build an exhibit and / or the new benchmark for quality.
Although not my first choice for wheelbase or even layout...the stealthy design is groundbreaking.
"A Van with No Window's"...is usually frightening, and most of them...aren't filled with actual candy. (Too soon..but)
No Windows is usually a huge no, but here is living proof that it works...and if done correctly, the end result is not only functional but also elegant.
The truth about an honest 4 season build...has to have compromises and yet...the "No Windows " component...actually works and makes sense.
From an installation aspect to a security...it just makes perfect sense.
So...I salute the entire team for building what I feel....might very well be...the new benchmark in quality, function, utility and for the first time...exposing a new category to the market and generating much needed excitement and movement in an otherwise boring and coagulation and overstuffed industry.
Price however....yikes....but technically..this is a forever home...so

By far the nest build I have ever seen. Thoughtful design, practicality and quality. Well done to everyone.
*I want to have them customize my stealth almost exactly like this.* One difference for me would be a jam packed solar roof rack. Forget cheap builds. This is absolutely beautiful.
🤘❤️
Still the nicest build I have ever seen. Wish I could afford it, LOL
I’m just glad that there’s numbers on the cables. That makes a world of difference.
Thank you for the time and attention to this video. I was fascinated at your detailed review of the build. Now I want one, but I’d have to have a tad more room. But this is something else. Well done guys.
When I am ready this will be the first company I look at.
Agree!
ARV...you probably are to RV world what Rolls Royce is to the automobile world.....beautiful and perfect job.
They should have named this van Ne Plus Ultra because it is built like no other. Wow!
Wow..this is the one i want! I'm off to get some lotto tickets
If you win the lotto you won't have to live in a van.
Me too!
You’re missing the point. It’s WANT TO, not have to! 😉
How much does this cost.
Another rolling testament to the craftsmen, planners and visionaries at Advanced RV! Best video so far👍👏👏👏
Thanks for tuning in John. Appreciate the support!
Great job! But bottom line. What would something like this cost? Roughly?
Omg...what talented craftspeople to bring to life the client's vision!
Utterly beautiful...💚
I don't see carpenters, electricians, etc... These guys are true artists... The dedicated team is awesome 💪🏾👍🏾
Beautiful design and build!! Wow!! Amazing that you fit all that into a 144.
Excellent job, wow! Take this one to a van show, it's a trophy winner for sure.
Thanks Johnny Bravo!
That coffee maker pull out and swivel was the reason I gave this a like... Also you have a great company. Keep up the great work!
Clearly a dedicated team.
You guys really stepped up the video production this time and I respect that you were willing to show your design and build process and team. Kudos.
Thanks for the support Richard. Glad you enjoyed.
This was a very detailed video, brought in all design facilities, this video alone will double revenue for ARV:) Actually, wish they would triple these video builds.......................
wow!!! preparing for any end of the world scenario with this build.
This thing will be reduced to a basic shelter in an end-of-the-world scenario. There will be no water, fuel, electricity, food, etc. This thing is toast after the batteries run dry, with no solar and no diesel.
100% evaluation for these designs and Implementation of all items
My best Grateaing for all Team members.
Wow! Incredible workmanship!
This is by far the most detailed van I've seen. Good job!
ARV, This is your best video yet ! Shows why you are an an amazing converter. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the support Tom.
I'm not a van dweller, just a basic RV owner, but... THIS is absolutely amazing. This is the best build vid I've ever seen.,
Thanks for the support!
You guys are clearly the most innovative solution based company making RVs. You have established a standard that smart companies would be smart to follow. Every RV I've seen (on UA-cam) has recalibrated a state of the art. Most companies are too intimidated to tackle a Class B. You appear to revel in the challenge.
Well done! Impeccable workmanship.
Thank you for the compliment George. Glad you enjoyed!
Nice to know the team involved in the evolution of this beautiful van!... thank you for sharing:)
Very nice indeed. As a retired engineer I have to say that is very impressive. Not easily accomplished with me.
My mother purchased a custom van from a company who claimed to be a professional conversion outfit. My brother and I had to redo almost everything they did. Compared with such pretenders, you guys are outstanding. A long time ago now and though she has since sold the vehicle, she still reminds us and tells any who will listen how proud she was of us at the time... Haha bless.
The work you guys are doing here reminds me a little of those Nasa engineering documentaries, detailing how they built and maintained their spacecraft. Your whole ethos, methods and attention to detail along with customer centered design. Here is the remit. How can we make it happen as opposed to, we can't do this or that and it's not what you asked for, but would this be ok?
Nothing is impossible.
Also the fact that your customers are willing to attend a mutual appreciation gathering every so oft is a testament to their satisfaction.
One small thing though. The client mentioned sitting on the roof deck. Doing so with non fixed seating on that small area looks a bit dicey to me. Couldn't you have made a couple of folding single post seats that could be fixed to the deck? Just a thought. Still fabulous.
This is a masterpiece .
This is one of the best videos that I have seen you guys do in a very long time. That’s not to say the others are bad, but, this explains who you are and why you care.
We appreciate your support. Thanks for sharing this journey with us!
You got an awesome crew!
Speechless. I grew up in the town where Ocean Yachts are built. This is a top of the line land yacht. AMAZING build!
Wooooowwww! What a great built man. Team, you have done an amazing job. Hats off !!! This van has everything. I am sold
This has to be the best build I’ve seen.
Thanks for watching Indira! The build is a testament to the client's vision.
What an amazing build! I never thought of having a windowless solarless (Is that a word??) but the design is elegant in that it coordinates the technical complexity with a very simple exterior. Amazing job! This old engineer loved the video. Kudos to the owner and to Advanced RV!
Agreed ... Windows essential imo - Solar too ..
I love this van built. Great job!!
I also love what he said, "Life is about experiences...new experiences with people that you love" 🥰
This looks like a luxury Yacht inside a van! Probably the best van conversion I've ever seen. The build is probably over 200k easy.
Such an impressive build. Everytime I think I have seen your best, you surprise me with something else. Keep up the excellent, creative work and thanks for sharing the video.
Thanks for the support John 👍
Just perfect!
These guys are true professionals! They go all the way to the small details!
Impressive, amazing teamwork, knowledge and skills working in harmony to meet the client need, everyone’s a winner. 👍
Man what a great build!!!
Thanks for watching!
If you saw the price you would change your mind, these toys are for the rich reliant on a functional society, if society collapses it becomes an expensive paper weight.
@@aberdeendeltaforce
If society collapses, it’s a great way to escape/survive
@@source5729 you will quickly run out of fuel and have to abandon the vehicle so unless you have some serious back country survival skills and able to hunt of the land and protect yourself from the real badasses out there hunting you then you will be dead in a few months.
You guys definitely are being watching to many Zombies Apocalypse, seriously?!?!?
Anyone who wants something like this is simply to enjoy life,
if actually something bad happens, you custom turn your van into a MadMax vehicle and run over the zombies! 🤔
What a great company to work for, where everyone has a chance to be part of the finished product, a credit to you, quality provides job satisfaction 😎😎🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks for watching, Simon. We appreciate your kind words.
One of your very best builds to date....time was not on my side, but I got what I wanted..
Thank goodness our family has land and home. Mine are all welcome because the land homes belong to the family. I will never spend money with a company that doesn't support family.
The engineering, design and build is amazing. You have a great team. I would love to spend some time there to see the process. You guys are taking the lead in custom builds. I wonder what a tiny home would look like if you guys were leading the design and build process.
Fantastic video & another spectacular ARV build perfectly suited to the individual client. Congrats!!
Hey Sue!! 👋Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for stopping by (and helping answer questions). Hope to see you soon and hear about your travels.
You definitely pay for this high quality build. And you pay dearly!
Love the chuckle at 9 seconds 🤣 telling his kids sorry not enough room guys/gals.
Very impressive. I think that they will be adding a window to the sliding door as they will find it is still just as stealth (with a blackout curtain) but gives them something more than a camera view for those other times they want the beach or mountain view. Nice work ARV!
Thanks Ken!
As someone who works in this industry, this van looks great inside, awesome job! Doing custom one off cabinets is incredibly frustrating and time consuming trying to keep an even reveal and tight tolerances.
There are no utilitarian traits on the inside but it seems like the roof rack missed that production meeting all together. No windows, but a helicopter landing pad, very stealth indeed.
I always enjoyed to make models when I was a boy. The exactness, the attention to every conceivable detail.
As an electrician I appreciate the beautiful wiring. If the wiring is a mess, it shows they don’t take pride in their work. Always check for neatness, it makes a difference.
Excellent design and execution. It shouts quality that could only be produced by master craftsmen.
Thank you for the kind words John.
Spectacular
Glad you enjoyed!
who else is watching and dreaming that one day i'll get one like this and start travelling.
Very impressed! This is how a custom B Van should be designed and built. This video flows perfectly. Great job!
Amazing job on the van and putting this video together ARV!
Thanks for the support!
@@AdvancedRV hi. I am a US Army veteran. I'm differently abled now due to a bomb blast during war service over seas, several years back. Anyways I'm looking for someone to work w that can build me a camper in a good van. I plan to live in the van full time. I dont have an unlimited amount of money and keep coming to the issue of not rlly being able to afford a new van and the customization! Any thoughts or ideas? Or could you possibly help in some way. I am in California currently. Hope to hear from you, you guys have good designs!
Beautiful van. I would love to own one like it.
Wow, best conversion I have seen. Fit finish, attention to detail, packaging - awesome work.
I grew up in Cleveland. Famous for it’s chuckholes. The ultimate vibe-test!
Best video ever
Glad you enjoyed 👍
Nice build! I want one...
Absolutely stunning video; one item that was NOT mentioned is/was COSTS!!
Damn, these people got this to go travel to see all their friends and family all over the country right before the pandemic crushed all and every dream of any of that.
This video was nicely layed out with so many details I'm sure I will watch it as few more times
One word comes to mind, perfection!
Thanks for sharing....
And thank YOU for watching, Dale! We appreciate the support.
Excellence:)
Love the work that you do....
We appreciate the support James!
@@AdvancedRV if u can’t give a ball park figure, you have lost me. I was not impressed over 80k for van and build. You d not need to triple your price. Shame on you
Wow! How very impressive! Build quality and attention to detail in #1 with me. I have see full sized ultra plush class A’s not built as carefully and with as much care as this amazing machine! What a fantastic option that I did not even know existed when choosing an RV.
Wow love you all! What an amazing job! The result is utterly stunning!
Very nice, very well done. You guys appear to be a very high-quality oriented team and if we ever decide to build one, we'll be contacting you. Well done!
Wow, love to see this in person!
Thanks Paul! You are always welcome to visit and tour our facility. The Last Resort is on the road now, but there are plenty of builds-in-progress for us to share.
I really do not think I have seen a better build than this.
Holy Cow! Fined Luxury in a tiny space, we're considering this in the next year. Wow! The Craftsman's design, fit, finish, Insane!! 🤙🤙🏜😎Shad in Az
Nice build. You guys seem like a really solid company... I'd love to have you guys build me a van. Hopefully, one day... =)
Hi Paul, thanks for the support. We'd love to host you for a visit.
Excellent video explaining the design and build process. Both the cabinetry build and deck construction epitomize ARV’s quality. We’ve been driving our ARV van for 24,000 miles now and still no squeaks, creaks or rattles.
Glad you enjoyed the video Bob! Looking forward to the next time we can connect, at this year's Fest or in the future. Eager to hear about Hand-in-Hand's adventures.
Fantastic build can se the quality is first class.
WOW, If I ever could, you guys would be who I would approach. Well done, amazing work
I wish I can afford it so perfect for me💕
sell a home to get this home. was their idea and it worked.
Just sell one kidney and work for someone rich enough to pay you $50K for 3 years while living in your used Honda Civic 😭
OMG! A drafting board? I haven't seen one of those in over 20 years.
Old school.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH If its not broken:)
Love this longer format video! I could watch these every day
Its nice to see your attention to detail during the build process, not only the finished product - thank you very much - more of these videos please ;)
