VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
In this detailed video tour, Lucas Ravizza unveils "Odyssey," a custom-built van packed with innovative design features and high-end amenities. Lucas spent nine months meticulously crafting this van, ensuring that every inch serves a purpose while maintaining a sleek and functional aesthetic.
Kitchen and Storage Solutions
Lucas kicks off the tour by introducing the kitchen, a true marvel of space efficiency and thoughtful design. The centerpiece of this area is the set of French doors that serve as both a visual and functional highlight. These doors, fitted with a smart tint film, offer privacy with a simple click, transforming from transparent to opaque instantly. Behind these doors, Lucas stores his wine glasses, plates, and other essentials, making the most of every inch of space.
The kitchen also features a KitchenAid air fryer, capable of baking, broiling, and toasting, making it an all-in-one oven solution for life on the road. Nearby, a hidden charger is cleverly integrated under the countertop, offering a convenient spot to power up devices without cluttering the workspace. The kitchen includes ample food storage, with upper cabinets, a dual burner induction cooktop, and a spacious Dometic 140L fridge, which can store up to two weeks of food.
Advanced Heating and Power Systems
One of the most impressive aspects of Odyssey is the full hydronic heating system known as "Rixen's." This system uses coolant from both the engine and a separate rear tank, offering a range of heating options, including air heat, heated floors, and instant hot water. The system is controlled by a simple interface that allows Lucas to preheat the engine on cold mornings, ensuring a smooth start without the wear of cold starts. The van is powered by a massive 1200 amp hour battery bank, capable of running high-demand appliances like the induction cooktop and air conditioning for extended periods.
Shower and Bathroom Setup
The shower in Odyssey is another example of Lucas's attention to detail and design. Featuring a Moen shower head with a water flow of 1.5 gallons per minute, the shower ensures efficient use of the 42-gallon water tank. The bathroom also includes the Laveo Dry Flush toilet, a hands-off, no-compost system that is easy to manage, though it requires refilling cartridges. The shower space is beautifully finished with Italian tile, adding a touch of luxury to this compact area. A walk-through design allows the shower to serve as a passage between the main living area and the cab, optimizing the van's layout.
Lounge and Sleeping Areas
Lucas has designed the lounge area to be both cozy and functional. Despite being smaller than in his previous builds, this space is perfectly tailored for relaxation. The bed, part of the Happy Jack system, is adjustable to different heights, allowing for flexible sleeping arrangements. Side capsules extend the sleeping space, accommodating Lucas’s 6'1" frame comfortably. The lounge also features a Lagoon table and multiple outlets, ensuring convenience and connectivity.
Custom Flooring and Finishing Touches
The flooring in Odyssey is a work of art in itself. Lucas custom-made each piece of the Chevron walnut floor, spending over 100 hours to ensure it was perfect. This level of craftsmanship extends to the Roman clay finish on the ceiling above the bed, giving the space a smooth, marbled effect that feels both luxurious and cozy.
Electrical System and Off-Grid Capabilities
Odyssey is equipped with a robust electrical system, including 1200 amp hours of lithium batteries, a 12-volt cruising comfort air conditioner, and 520 watts of solar power on the roof. This setup allows Lucas to live off-grid for up to two weeks, enjoying all the comforts of home while on the road. Lucas shares tips for managing the electrical system, including the importance of securing batteries, organizing cables, and ensuring proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
Exterior and Garage Space
The van's exterior is just as impressive as the interior. With two ladders providing access to the roof, where the tent and solar panels are located, the van is ready for any adventure. The garage space, lined with neoprene for durability and water resistance, is spacious enough to store various gear, from bikes to snowboards.

Phenom. Hard to believe you are only 24. Mature and skilled way beyond your years.
When your parents pay for everything, you can do lots by 24!
@@IPv6Freely how do you know that's the case?
@@emergent3744 envy told them
Wow, he is 23 years old and he's getting it done. I'm really impressed. It really gives me hope for the younger generation.
Old money. Rich parent.
Yeah, pretty impressive having rich parents!
What a talented young man! If he can do this at 23, imagine what he can do when he’s 30.
Yeah! So talented growing up with rich parents!
@@IPv6Freelywhy you say stuff without knowing the stories, nerd 😂
Awesome idea about the double door shower to the cab! Creative
This is gorgeous! I'm so wowed by this guy's ingenuity and skills! I want this van.
Wow...nicer than my apartment!! Well done. Wish I had the money for a van like this.
this is my favourite build so far
Wow, amazing, This is the first one I've seen a walk through bathroom like this, I think I really like this model 😃👍
I saw that and thought such a great use of space!
@@abeandmel ye so true
I’ve seen tons of van builds on UA-cam, but this 1 is perfect. Great Job!!! ❤❤
all i want for christmas is a Ravizza Luxury Van....Wow!
This is bar none the nicest cleanest makes most sense i want one van conversion i have ever seen- awesome job !!!
Thanks for the tour guys!
Hey @lucasravizza Lucas, love this van! My wife and I have been following you, and waiting to see the tour of your innovative closet/shower. We started our vanlife a little over 2 years ago in a van that we bought from two guys in So. Cal. It's good for now, but in about 2 years, we want to get a custom build. Keep having fun creating!
Everyone should watch his video when he and his friends travel the west coast on Onewheels. I think it was from Washington State to Mexico. I still haven't purchased a Onewheel myself and am still trying to afford one. I had kidney failure in 2019 and it took me 8 months to start walking. I started watching UA-cam videos of people riding(FloatLife, Mario The Board Garage, Kyle Hanson, etc.) Onewheels and fell in love. My buddy had bought one and it probably saved my life. He got my riding when I could hardly walk to rebuild my strength. The freedom and joy it has brought me whenever I can go ride is unbelievable.

Such a beautiful van and design for comfort and living
This van is absolutely amazing!!!!! Best build I’ve seen!!
If I were to ever get a camper, this is what I’d want! So stylish, cozy and thoughtfully designed 😻 And I did like the Scooby Doo green hehe
Incredible build! I could happily live in that. Inspiring young man. Good for you 🙌👏
This is absolutely amazing and so genius! He can sleep SO many people in there when or if he needs to. Love it!

This is probably the most beautiful van conversion I've ever seen!
This is the type of van I’d love to own eventually! So cool!
I'm amazed at your ingenuity and expertise! Your van looks super modern and sleek. Every amenity has been thoroughly thought out. The only thing I personally would like is some color (and not Scooby Doo green either!) just a few personal touches like photos too would be nice. But you did an amazing job!

Un super travail.
Une configuration très intéressante.

I am praying 🙏🏼 to be able to have a van custom made like this beauty so I can go from Alaska to Ushuaia 🇦🇷.
Awesome built👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
THIS VAN IS SUPER COOL 😎
Quel artisanat 😮 Félicitations et bons tours à vélo 🚲 !
Very impressive practical layout. Kodos 👏
How much will it cost to own one?
I always love your vans, but this one is my favourite! The only thing I’d love to see would be a recirculating shower to save on water.
Its well thought out, but ohhhh, the brown. He's too young to remember 80's brown everything. 😂
I do love the walk through shower
Beautiful!
I want to move into this apartment!! Very nicely done and looks so comfy!😊
Beautiful build...kudos to you. You're very talented & artistic!
This is awesome! Id love more insight about the pros and cons of all these alterations for insurance and warrant purposes.
The walkthrough shower is brilliant
Great design, beautifully executed. I would have different priorities (like I wouldn’t care if people can see my wine glasses, and I wouldn’t give them that much space) but it’s your van, so enjoy.
Beautiful van. Well thought out layout.
Great build! Incredible
Fancy😍.
Happy Trails 🎉
JO JO IN VT 💞
Epic build. You did everything yourself??
Great job, the layout is fantastic with that pass through shower. It does look suspiciously a lot like a Shaiden Valentine designed van.
At such a young age, you got skills. Great build!
I'm looking for a van set up just like this!
Whats the cost??
300,000
Nice.
Great for a techy. I’m for keeping it simple.
Great job.
Old fashion bachelor pad on wheels updated for today. Had to smile.
All that storage for wine
❤ Wow impressive
I am sure it’s very expensive but I think it’s perfect. Thank you.
Crazy van! such a beautiful work!
Iceland? Just know your paint job will take a beating there due to the wind and lava rock/sand. But fun trip.
Your work is amazing! Well done! Thoroughly enjoyed watching your video - shame I live in a different continent or I’d be asking a lot of questions 😂😂
Beautiful job! How much do these range? In price txs
So cool.just lovely. Great job. Hey we're you always interested in automobiles? My grandson has always loved anything on wheels! He's 2 but has alway loved wheel and what's on them. I can't believe all that you've been able to put into that small van!
wow this is everything!!!
Looking all great. The only thing I would change is the placement of the oven which is too uncomfortably close to the bed ...
Top job buddy great inspiration to other young ambitious people
Very well designed!!
I love this van , some day I hope to own one
I love the wall coverings, but maybe I missed what you used? If you could elaborate on how you got that look. I love it! Thanks
Beautiful.
Very beautiful build.
This is really awesome. You did a wonderful job. I could definitely live in this. ❤️😊
Beautiful! I want one!
Yes
Wow. The best I've seen on You Tube.
Nice Build ❤
Genius
The best one so far 💜💜😊😊😊
Beautifully done. 🥰
Very nice. Very talented.👍👏
Stunning!!
Are a born designer. There is a market for these for sure.
Really beautiful, fantastic design, construction, ideas, tech… so many fantastic things about this. And the windows add so much ‘space’. That said, one constructive criticism… after putting in so much great work you ended up with sloppy caulking. It really shows. Seems like a small detail to some, but like they say, “The devil’s in the details.” Great and inspiring though.
Impressive !!
Awesome build 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome work!
beautiful
My question is that during the video you indicated that you are from Washington, I think, so how do you get the Van to Iceland to hang out in it? Is there some kind of ferry from the east coast of the US to Greenland and then a ferry to Iceland? Anyway, feels like a long drive? Also, I know you said that you have a 12V AC and I’m not sure but your battery system is 12V? If that is the case given that you seem to opt for the newest technologies, why didn’t you opt for a 24V or 48V battery system?
Genius !
Impressive.
Wow that van is really superb! ❤ it. Keep going and good luck from south africa😂
YOU ARE AMAZING 😊
