Killer Power system! Personally if it was going to be my home/full time dwelling, shower is an absolute must. We are starting a van build right now and don't want our travels and plans revolving around us having to be near a Planet Fitness or wherever or near someone we can mooch one from. My solution was a 30x32 shower pan that has teak "decking" I built that fills it and is flush with van floor level. Shower curtain hanging from a track in ceiling. That area is normally going to be a sitting area with a Lagun table so no wasted, "dedicated" space for shower only
Lots of idle judgement in the comments... they built their dream home and did it for themselves not for us! Good for you guys for chasing down your dream and making it your reality - it is a truly jaw dropping rig, thanks for giving us a tour! Miles and miles of smiles ahead for you and the doggos! 🤙
Thanks so much for turning us onto Elementum Adventure Vehicles! I drove down there, talked to Ben and they just seem to get it. I'm so bummed we had someone else build our first van but I learned a ton and if we can sell it, we will have EAV build our next one.
Hey Martin! First and foremost, thank you so much for commenting. We can believe our video inspired you to inquire with EAV 😊 We were actually just in the shop yesterday dropping off Waimea for the week and we learned you lived nearby us in Seattle. We're currently back in the city and would love to just extend an invite to meet/chat about our experience if you the time or interest! Let us know! We can coordinate and connect via email or message us on our instagram (@waimeawanders). We would love to connect!
I see about 400k in Australia, with our labour charges and vegan left govt maybe more. Whoa, edit, double that now I've finished watching. Not much change from $1M !
I feel like this is the first out of many custom sprinter van videos I've seen where it's an extended sprinter rather than the normal everyone has, in all its beautiful and amazing 🤌🔥
The BEST VAN. I have watched: •Leisure travel vans. •Storyteller Beast. •Revel from Winnebago. •Skyloft Van from Redtail Overland. But yours is SUPERIOR. -Water capacity. -Electric Energy. -Off-Road capabilities. -Comfort. -Internet connection. You guys NAILED IT!!!! (All those other Vans in the market try...... But you and the company that helped you build that Van, you JUST DO IT.) Congrats!! ✌️🙂
Thank you so much for this comment!! We have been watching van builds and researching for YEARS! We are obviously biased but we couldn't agree more that Elementum Adventure Vehicles is the best builder in the market! We have worked with them since 2022 on this build and they have a ton more with different specs on their website elementumav.com ✌
Absolutely a Beast of a adventure van build, It takes someone living this lifestyle and several irritations of vehicle builds to now exactly what is needed and where it should be to be accessed, and this couple sure now what they wanted out of there build. Thanks for Sharing this amazing vehicle. can't wait for part 2 of this tour.
good van the only I would of done different was use the back end as a half bath room half storage closet, especially since you have a bed option upfront. but this works for y'all so I understand
Can’t believe you did run 18” wheels to have the ability to run a big brake kits. Our 2500 144” is at 10k and they need big brakes. Go Visit ALCAN spring in Grand Junction, CO. They made a custom set of rear springs. We were able to ditch the Sumo’s and the VC springs. BEST upgrade we ever did, they’ll fix the saggy butt. Nice build.
Hey there! We do have a dry flush toilet and outdoor shower in this build. The shower is always a topic for debut, however, we lean 'no shower' inside of a van build. Just preference in regards to space, water usage and access to gym showers! We find it would just become storage if we had on and no shower keeps our layout super open 🤷♀️
A new high water mark in vans. So practical and not an apartment on wheels. Max performance and function = money well spent. EAV rises to the top of the list for our build.
Awesome van. I noticed your koi fish sleeve is facing down. The koi symbolizes strength and they are should face the other direction with the head pointed toward your shoulder.
Yes, but then you couldn't afford to travel to awesome places whenever you wanted and you would be stuck with whatever neighbors you have or who move in.
There are nice builds up there …. And then is this! You put my build that I thought is pretty impressive to bed. This is a cool project! Btw you are correct about the showers, those who use them understand how often we end up using them!
@@Liimpy Valid comment. Although we would argue that some of us are okay with being dirtbags at heart and don't want a built in shower/also don't prefer staying at parks... We tend to go a week before we even break our the outdoor shower. It's all preference and comfort 🙈🤷♀
@waimeawanders the point I'm making is that you don't seem like the type to stay out for weeks at a time without the amenities , I own a nice built out sprinter van, and a travel trailer built to stay out off grid, currently typing this, in my travel trailer, in the middle of the Colorado wilderness, I enjoy the amenities of the TT sometimes, Including the daily shower it offers me, instead of showering outside the van, when the weather turns cold.. maybe I was wrong. Maybe I shouldn't have judged you based on this single video
Congratulations for your beautiful rig. Nice to see the installation of the Agency 6 lockers, I was told they would not fit the 170 extended. Any hints to install those would be much appreciated.
Great van👌👍❤ it seems like you guys thought of everything and animal lovers. I'll follow your adventures 😊😊 I wished that you had more priv🎉place for your toilet and your shower.
Just amazing and so talented guys love it for the Highlands of Scotland 🏴 also love the Hawaii look as love surfing here the best job ever If I had another van it would be like this see your advice soon 🩵🏴🌺
Sweet van ! One of the best I have seen on here ! Awesome to see some of the best of the best all in one build ! New sub here and look forward to more ! Safe travels !
There's a way you can have a shower without losing too much space. I've seen a couple vids with the shower pan in the floor, and a curtain held up by hooks in the ceiling. If you're happy, fine. LORD willing, I can find the links to those vids if you want.
Beautiful van guys can’t believe the amount of rude comments you get just so you know that’s the broke and uneducated. Good job on the tour. I wouldn’t put a shower in mine either cheers.

Phenomenal build. You have a modded murphy bed! I am curious why you didn't go with a classic murphy that was just fold and go, bedding and all? Best build I've ever seen as it relates to my preferences. Remarkable build!!
Great question! We actually came from a classic murphey bed in our last van. We tend to prefer things stationary most of the time but love the option to open up the space if we need to! We really wanted both the large garage for storage AND the height of a traditional stationary bed. The trifold allows us to have just that, with also the option to haul larger cargo if we need to! It's a win win all around in our opinion 😊
Aloha no from fellow O’ahu ex-pat, now in Seattle with my Ohana adventuring out of our T@B Teardrop as (every) weekend warriors. Congratulations on your Waimea build and being a kid that grew up driving from Kaimuki to the Northshore to surf or boulder-climb Waimea, you 170cm buildout is just unreal access to nature that is unbelievably detailed-thought-out. Holler when you’re in Seattle as it would be a blast for us to see you guys on some beach or stream nearby our teardrop site. Aloha and good luck balancing work/adventure life! 🏄🏼♂️📸🤙🏼 #MalamaPono
Wait- an ex pat from Hawaii now in Washington? Isn’t an ex pat someone who moved from their native country and is living somewhere outside of their country of citizenship? But Hawaii is part of America. I’m genuinely asking too.
@@corinnelsmithyes technically an ex-pat does mean country. Hawai’i was once its own Kingdom and we are the only State with a Palace. Many people don’t think Hawai’i is part of the USA. When I traveled to France and studied the University I studied had an International talent show of all the students’ home countries. They split USA and Hawai’i since we have the Spirit of Aloha and act differently from many from the mainland. Hope this helps.
Crazy van. Can’t wrap my head around the power though. Maybe a huge power bank but the re charge of it sounds crazy with so little from solar. We have a lower power consumption in a 3 bedroom house! I would find that van a bit nerve racking in a true off grid setting. Great tech and design but feels like it’s a bit miss match.
Been watching you guys I love this build! I have a 22 170 ext 4x4 2500 same color and getting some serious inspo from your build! I have van compass 4.3 but now I need 6.3 on 35s lol curious what mpg are u getting w this set up??

This is an absolute dream. As a Marine Corps Infantry Vet Im obsessed with getting a Van and hitting the road full time.
best i have ever seen. have 2 labradors and this is the perfect build. you guys crushed it.
Cool but still want a shower that I don’t need to set up, but the van is gorgeous
@@soniavalentines4379 Totally just a preference! Thanks Sonia 😊
This is literal dream van, can't imagine how much this cost
They won't answer because they don't even know. They're just loaded with money and spent them maxing out all the specs of this van
I see about 400k in Australia, with our labour charges and vegan left govt maybe more.
Whoa, edit, double that now I've finished watching.
Not much change from $1M !
Bit overkill 😅 but nice
THAT'S A PURE MONSTER!!!!!!
"this is our first van tour so give us some grace" haha bro this was the most detailed van tour ever lol. keep it up! awesome van im jealous
I feel like this is the first out of many custom sprinter van videos I've seen where it's an extended sprinter rather than the normal everyone has, in all its beautiful and amazing 🤌🔥
Electronic system and the hydronic heating was awesome. Thanks for doing the tour.
good job you and gf got tinted windows.. it's lovely 👍🏼

Were the other vans 144” short wheelbases that you looked at?
@@J.Young808 All except the one from Redtail: their "Skyloft van" which is a 170 (and, after this one, the second one in the list of my favorites).

The exterior does it for me. Beautiful.
I love the lifted 170ex didn’t think that could work looks beautiful

I hope the back doors don’t sag , a lot of weight hanging off them, but what a great setup, have fun!
Great video! One of the most complete builds I've ever seen. You've given me a lot of ideas.

First van review I've seen with a nod towards the soundsystem, bet it sounds good in there with 2 subs!
Congratulations, a beautiful van
Nice build guys! So important enjoying the things while you travel!

Heavy as the titanic !
Cybertruck and Hummer EV are probably heavier lol.
inside toilet & shower is a must in a van

Sweet build! Love seeing fellow big van energy. Jelly of that Artek system. Might need to upgrade to that in the future.
This thing has to be well over 500k
Great build. I must do full size shower w hiding sliding toilet option but personal preference only.
A new high water mark in vans. So practical and not an apartment on wheels. Max performance and function = money well spent. EAV rises to the top of the list for our build.

amazing van brother ! literally u covered all my questions and worries bout living the van life. sheeesh thats a great van !
🙏 Glad we could help! Let us know if questions come up and happy travels in the future!
Amazing van. Super fully loaded. ❤
No shower so not really on the "fully loaded"👎🏼
Killer rig. Love it!
Thank you!!! 🤘
Awesome van. I noticed your koi fish sleeve is facing down. The koi symbolizes strength and they are should face the other direction with the head pointed toward your shoulder.
I bet with that price for a custom van you could afford a buy a small apartment/house. But its still awesome.
Yes, but then you couldn't afford to travel to awesome places whenever you wanted and you would be stuck with whatever neighbors you have or who move in.
im so jealous. have a feeling i can't afford something like this!
There are nice builds up there …. And then is this! You put my build that I thought is pretty impressive to bed. This is a cool project! Btw you are correct about the showers, those who use them understand how often we end up using them!

Very cool to see how the wealthy go glamping! Would be interesting to hear how much the total cost of this land cruiser.
