Welcome to my Van Tour Video! I’ve put my heart and soul into this 4x4 Van and I am here to help others that are building their own creations as well. I am not claiming to be better than anyone else at anything, just here to share my experience and be as helpful as possible as many are on this journey!
Please see more pics and info at my instagram / aux_built
I will be creating more videos about specific aspects of this van so like and subscribe if you want to follow along! Many thanks!
If you have questions, please put them in the comments below. This will build an FAQ for the van and potentially other builders who may have better answers than I, can chime in as well.

When I turn 55 after saving for years, I purchase a 4x4 Mercedes Sprinter Conversion Van. I quit my job and took 2 years off. Me and my 6 month old dog traveled from the Texas Gulf of Mexico to Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay, via Southwest Canada then South to Baja California, Mexico then cut across Southwestern US back home. Fly fished every state and/or province along the way following the spring hatch as far north as you can drive in North America. Best decision of my life. I came back with a new lease on life and an adult dog bonded for life. Went back to work like I never lost a beat. Point being stop thinking and start planning then went set do it! It’s hard to pull the trigger but you can sell your “Beast” to the next adventurer! It well be worth it. Sorry to jack you video but it got me to thinking.

Love the builds! I’m looking at getting a Fire chassis myself for a conversion. Just wondering what you feel is the best chassis in your opinion? Gas, diesel? E350, E450? I know the 7.2L is a great engine…

@justanotherguy3850 2 жыл бұрын

I think now is the wrong time to think about diesel or gasoline since you know Putin attacked Ukraine. LOL. I would be prone to diesel. But then his drip down fuel would have to be changed out for something comparable. The only thing I find missing this is a microwave. I am more inclined to use microwavable then I would be the stovetop. Everything comes with a trade off. This is an awesome build. I especially like the consideration to his winch system to get the spare tire up and down. That was my first thought. As it stands now my spare tire weighs a ton and being disabled I have a hard time not just getting it down from my Dodge but getting it in place. Lastly, five hundred amp hours is probably a good place to be. But has an amateur radio operator I would be using additional DC to power radios. I might find a way to get a generator installed. Something that could be pulled out of a storage container I suppose although it'd be nice to be able to start it up from inside the cab and switch over. That's just me. And then lastly, I would put up a 4G/5G long-range antenna. I'd also like a piece of SpaceX by Elon Musk that gives you high speed internet out of the middle of nowhere. These are custom items on my part and it should in no way take away from the excellent build he's done.

Excellent build. The Coachmen Starflyte was an important part of my initial foray into the RV industry, and I was the lead engineer at that time. This was the 2nd of the 3 floorplans that we developed. A piece of info you might find interesting is that while Coachmen Vans produced the Starflyte, another local company named Supreme built the steel-framed fiberglass body. It is based on the StarTrans bus by Supreme Corporation (Goshen, IN), which is what makes this body so much stronger than the typical RV construction. If you ever venture near Elkhart Indiana, I'd love to see YOUR Starflyte in person. Safe travels!

Nice work young man. My first build was a 1941 military 6 wheel dr. 6 cyl half ton. Built a stage coach sleeper outa wood. It was a canvas top org so I took a 20s truck body used the doors and built a cab. No ac but windows cranked and it had had push breathers for circulation. Put my surfboards and tipi poles on top. Lived outta it for 3 1/2 years. Hit 17 states took odd jobs and had the time of my life while traveling. Lived in my 16ft tipi most of the time. Solid rig cooked over a campfire and .grate. To much luxury today. Only pd $250 for truck in military sale 1970. Even had a hand crank to start it if battery was dead. Didnt even have $1500 in it mostly in tirw cost. 6 volt sucked but that was ww2 and we won. Happy trails get a guitar and save your money. Yours cost what a king kong house would be today. I went slow and saw everything. 6. Yl flat head and I got an old snorkel kit at army navy store. Sorry you missed it. Every complains about the bucks no matter what it the out come and you did a beautiful job for todays bs. God bless Im selling my house and making a new canvas tipi again. At 69 Im short of time but long on love to do it again. Keep my money and using a 2002 trail blazer simplified. Good luck but I can see over half million in todayz prices. Bet you get 15ft to the gallon with all that weight. Hipe you got time and mega bucks cor this hobby. One of a kind raised 4 kids on a farm. In Iowa and on the peace river in florida over 25 years til these last few years. Lost my wife to health God bless her heart and soul. Big world with alot of fishing to do.

Anyone who read your comment is wiser and likely more appreciative of the life they have knowing that the cost of things is irrelevant to someone like yourself. Time is the priceless unit we all want more of, and this van albeit expensive to build, gave me the time of my life in the middle of nowhereville!

I also spent a few years in the Dearborn NMPDC (NEW MODEL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CENTER) , or Pilot Plant, where the design and development aspects were performed. You picked an excellent vehicle platform for your continued redesign and refinement of an established and rugged vehicle! GREAT JOB!

They like the Chinook are great Ford conversion Van platforms for builds. Which I glad you pointed out these builds, 30 year old vans/rv they require much restoring, rebuilding, Being a vanner since the seventies and had 94 e350 4 wheel drive van. In my old age few years back started an overland Van build, My wife didn't want to 4 wheel anymore like we did in our youth and we weren't planning on driving the Van during the Winter at all except Baja?(please dear) We've found we just need to get a mile or so passed all the other Rv's and we usually have places to ourselves. with the reduced cost and maintenance of the conversion, we decided to do 2 wheel drive.1995 airstream b190 conversion Van. First all new suspension installed by #weldtecdesign custom 6"lift, bigger brakes, fox shox, Latest update had Scotty at parkland machine services in Tacoma Washington He rebuilt, balanced and blueprinted my gas fi 460cid 7.5 stock 220 horsepower motor, now pump gas dynoed @384 horsepower 460cid bad ass Fuely motor. I'm now looking at the ultimate rear end for the thing. I like your setup and hope to have something that nice someday. Thanks for letting me ramble Aloha.

What an awesome van. The inside would not work in my living situation for me but love the detail and design. The outside is amazing and looks awesome. I’d love to see some off road videos of where the van goes 👍🏼

Very impressive technical upgrade of the suspension, breaks and traction components. I also particularly liked the solar and battery mode. More impressive was the spare wheel hoist. Overall good design and immaculate execution.

Well thought out in every aspect of the design and modifications. I like the consideration made to the tires and suspension, and especially the outer shell protection, which gives it a very custom and stealth look. The roof is crazy good with the solar and well thought out storage and appears very secure. You can tell that a lot of money was poured into this but I'm sure its less than half the cost of something comparable.
