    Really nice build. Totally understand the need for the dinette with separate bed lift. Counter tops and clean white oak 🔥

    I did the van compass shocks front and rear myself but took a picture of the spring kit you used from their kit to my local spring shop that I’ve been doing business with for 45 years and they’ve been in business over 70 years. The owner thought it was the craziest thing he’d ever seen. He added one standard sprinter spring normally sold that adds 1500 pounds of load over the GVRW to the vehicle. I’m no engineer so I can’t say I really know who’s right but I’d certainly like to know. Congratulations on growing your business so well. You guys deserve it.

    CAn you help me I am planning an Install of PVC tile for my bathroom but it has tricky 135 Degree angle from the 1-1/2 story roof line upstrairs. How can I customize molding/trim for the PVC tiles? I like your lines inside your shower. I suppose if one is really could with Caulking a clear silicone could be used. But ideally some material that matches the color would be even betterA moldable material would be amazing? Any great ideas. P.S> I might also use these for a Shower Build in an Upcoming Promaster

    Another great looking van! Interior design is tasteful and modern. Love the drop down bed to the U shaped dinette! I've started to see a few builders use linear actuators as an alternative to the hapijack system. Wondering if you guys have looked into them and if you think they are a good alterative? Pros and cons I'm sure. Thanks for the tour!

    • @SaraandAlexJames
      @SaraandAlexJames  8 місяців тому

      We haven’t looked into them, but seems like it could be a good solution.

    • @KellysVanVentures
      @KellysVanVentures 7 місяців тому

      @@SaraandAlexJames Please don't use the actuators, it may save you a bit of money, but it's the worst setup (I felt like I was floating in the middle of the van). I had them installed by a Van Co. who I won't name as they are currently working on my van and doing a terrible job. I'm not sure what I should do at the moment, I just love how this van turned out and it's my dream to have mine look very similar. I'm so sad that my van has been with the builder since April 2023 and it's still not complete, even though I flew there on Nov. 13th to pick it up after they told me it was ready to go. I sat around waiting for two days and it finally was ready at 5:30pm the next day. I had to drive it about 45 minutes away to the Mercedes dealer for an appointment the next day. On the way there I heard a loud noise, I couldn't pull over at that time as it was dark and on the highway. When I finally got to a safe place to pull over I notice one of the black plastic panels had come loose and it was dangling by one plastic clip, so I removed it and put it in the van. I thought that was the noise I heard, but unfortunately I was wrong, one of my solar panels completely flew off my van (scratching and denting it on the way out). I'm just so disappointed that I went with this other company instead of using you. :(

    Nice quick tour of your beautiful van. Just one comment, Sara your mic was very muffled so it was hard to hear you. Maybe better mic placement? Really a nice van. I wish it was in my price range!

  • @charlevoix418
    @charlevoix418 8 місяців тому +1

    I think that the Espar heater controller is way too close from the heater itself and should be located at the back of the van, close to where people sleep.

    • @SaraandAlexJames
      @SaraandAlexJames  8 місяців тому +1

      We place it there so that you don’t have the red light on the heater control in your face while you are sleeping. But again, it’s all custom so our clients can request whatever they would like. 👍🏼

    • @SaraandAlexJames
      @SaraandAlexJames  8 місяців тому

      They have an induction cooktop they pull out and plug into the outlet in the back splash. Since counter space is minimal in this build, they didn’t want a built in cooktop.

    Can you confirm the number of “flushes” from the Laveo? You stated 30, but I thought it was only 15 per cartridge. The Laveo website is very determined to keep that number a secret! Appreciate a non-biased answer 😊Thanks.

    • @JR-ic8ry
      @JR-ic8ry 5 місяців тому

      I emailed the company and they confirmed it’s only 15 flushes.
