Quality build but a quarter of a million dollar van and no toilet, no indoor shower , very narrow walkway.. seems ridiculous to me. Fancy laminate were I doubt regular wilsonart or nevemarv or Formica would work just as well. I think some of these van builders make it more complicated than necessary. Just my opinion

@LilyWasHereMB 2 жыл бұрын

AGREED! (and I have one that no one will work on)

@JarrodTocci 2 жыл бұрын

I do like listening to other opinions and I don't work for them, but I will say a few things. I thought the very same things until I started to really look into some things. The cost of everything outside really adds up and is the bulk of the price. The van itself empty is $80k easy so if you subtract that from overall price you can see what the cost of the build is. But like I said look at the price of the outside components and see what I mean with that, it's crazy. The cost of electrical, heater, that seat really add up quick too. Break it all down the labor is actually $100-150 per hour which is really really good in today's market and where the industry is. Not having a toilet and shower is mostly a decision done by the client and the builders will typically listen to what the client wants. Hope that helps understanding a few things but I'm just a middle man

@vanman3752 2 жыл бұрын

@@LilyWasHereMB No one will work on it because it is an unreliable Sprinter that no one knows how to work on? But if you are talking about the conversion then the simple answer is no one wants to fix someone else's mistakes and poor workmanship. There's no quality control in this business and everyone and anyone is on the get rich quick bandwagon.

I was going to email the company to see if they would add a 5x1 Blue Sea 360 DC panel to my van, an upgrade to my existing system but Leland's response to your screen question told me that would be more waste of my time. Last month I drove 500 miles round trip to a Battle Born & Victron dealer to discuss upgrades, including 4 more batteries. There were no cars in the parking lot and only one van in the shop. was told I'd have a quote in a few days. Two weeks later I followed up by phone and email. No response. Two more weeks later, now a full month, I received an email saying they would not quote. Today I returned from a 400 mile round trip to a different Victron Battle Born dealer which I was referred to by Battle Born as a result of my negative experience with the first. Shortly after getting in the door I receive an email that said, thanks for driving all that way to let us eyeball your project (the pictures I sent weren't good enough) but, we don't want the work. Last year I drove 700 miles round trip to a van expo to talk to exhibitors for my upgrades. Parts exhibitors only sell, they don't install and will not refer. Builders only build, they don't maintain or upgrade. Jarrod, consider doing a service to your community by delving into the problem of getting custom, pro-built, vans maintained. Over the last year I've reached out to a couple of dozen builders, auto/truck, 4x4, stereo, auto alarm shops etc., and those that bother to respond at all, won't help. Seriously, where does one take a "quarter million dollar" van of the type Benchmark is known for, for service and upgrades to the coach builder's work ... Camping World? Winnebago?

@JarrodTocci 2 жыл бұрын

I'm sorry you have had some bad experiences. I will say the people I show will have warranties for their van builds like OVP, Beachmark, Nomadik, Exploration Vans, etc. I believe the next thing in Vanlife will be service shops but this is like a mechanic shop and shopping for the right one will be tough and take some time. The problem right now is there's no regulations on who can do what. If people only knew the things I know it would make a lot of people sick. Why don't I talk more about those things? Because people don't believe me and they feel I'm attacking the "content creators." However, this will change and I plan on doing videos on just this thing soon. I know Nomadik Customs is planning on opening a service center soon. Other big builders really don't have it in their means to handle that much more work over their current builds. The other issue is working on someone else work and they will all say something is wrong with someone else work.

I don't like the floor plan. It's not good use of space. If he had placed the bathroom just behind the driver's seat, it would have freed up more space for the kitchen drawers and the whole floor plan would have made more sense.
