Jon, I followed your link, but I don't see these lights as available in the USA. I sent a message to Strands Lighting USA.

Not making fun of your pain, but I love my T1N.

⁠ Hey Everybody! This is in all Honesty (Hand on Heart) a TRUE STORY! I have a 2020, same model but with the 3.0L turbo engine. I think it’s a 319 from memory? (Not Important) Anyway, that’s besides the point. I’m in the exact same position as you when it comes to design issues I honestly thought that it would be slightly better considering the amount of money that they cost, especially Downunder. I am disabled Guy in my late 40’s (Due to being run over by a truck when I was Three (lost my right leg, right hip and pelvis is pretty much gone now and my lower spine has left the Chat. Also I’m a semi-functional paraplegic that suffers from a lot of Chronic Pain and other things, but hey. Such is life and Life goes on, right? lol 😂). Anyway, I drive from my Power Wheelchair, so Imagine my surprise, frustration and horror when I had to refuel my shiny brand spanking new “Mercedes Sprinter” for the first time, lol 😂. And after enjoying the first real freedom and excitement It quickly became apparent that I needed to get some fuel. At first I was like, ah no worries. But then it became very evident that the closer I got to the Diesel Pumps, that the electronic sliding side door, which is where the Solid Metal One Piece wheelchair Ramp lowers from, (it’s basically a hydraulic lift that is also electronically controlled lol) that is on the left side of the Van because we are Righthand drive vehicles Downunder. So then I realising that there is no way to lower the ramp safely, I can’t just jump out and walk around 🤣. So I finally put everything back in place, finally find a service station with a single and separate Diesel pump, get myself unloaded finally, only to find out that I now have to open the passenger door, to open the fuel door, so as to get to the fuel cap, 🤣. So there I was, feeling like I had finally got it all sorted out, YAY !!! But NO! I ended up going home without any fuel. Because in my haste to find the right fuel pump, with the correct amount of clearance I needed, in all the excitement I missed the sign that said- OUT OF ORDER.

An offroad go anywhere home that's got 6 inches of ground clearance and a wheelbase longer than a limo.

When I got my 18 I was mostly amused by some of the idiosyncrasies. My build quality is solid, but the 18s are thankfully, very low tech and I have upgraded much. Do you still have it?

This think is amazing but for 50k more I can get a gxv hilt from stroryteller.

100% profit built into the price

I have been exploring doing my old build similar to this

Could you do a video recapping the ballpark market cost of parts and labor?

Have you thought about anything to maybe somewhat cover the rear brakes since they are very exposed?? I'm also considering swapping to a super single on my 3500 and the exposed brake wouldn't stop me but I would like to not have the rears so exposed if I could

I have two 2024 2500s and honestly don't have the same gripes as you do but can agree on the infotainment system. Would really like a next song button. Everything else is still better than Ford and Ram. Go drive them, ull wish you were back in the Benz lol

Feed the paranoia.... I want a cartel proof vehicle....remember the Landseaire Catalina flying boat...

Can you tie this into the engine coolant for heating as well?

Loving the BATLWGN build series! It's great to learn from the common mistakes. We sent you an email, take a look.

That is so perfect ! I am a gamer and was thinking about the setup and I didnt expect that bed/computer desk. I love it. Thanks for share

Man, you wasted 1/2 hour of my life with this video. A lot of silly stuff (NOTHING you mentioned is relevant). WoW!

Jon, I’m sending this to Nathan. Let’s see how your feedback helps.

Eh, not nearly enough storage for stuff, especially for a long haul. I’d like to see some of the storage options you see in super c’s and bunk houses, especially if you have family.

Door handle is leaking from inside?

You want to have a 4x4 van with a bit of ground clearance but also low seats an entries. Interesting.

отлично. молодец. только синий цвет.. мимо.

YO Dude! Are you trying to kill everyone! Have you ever heard of *CARBON MONOXIDE ! ?* You can not have a propane stove in a RV without an exhaust Runge hood over it! It totally lacks any real storage space for your clothing, food or gear, it doesn't have a decent refrigeration/freezer, no entertainment of center any type, You can't really sit back and relax on those uncomfortable bench seats plus there's no dinette table. As for comparing the aluminum outer skin of this to say Earth Roamer vacuum infused carbon fiber camper body. The carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter then the aluminum body of this RV. No real solar or battery capacity and it way overpriced for what little that you're getting.

Killer look man,good job cant wait till it's done, you are sinking some real cash into the zombie mobile...lol...

part numbers of king struts? plz

good job from australia . do you have details on front/ rear struts? ie part numbers, not much accessories here in aus

I can't believe that I watched all the way tô 20mins and all u did was just talking and much more talking with only 2 ends of some details. (entrance and back rear) &_(& a real waste of time with too much bla bla bla.

So, it has been 5 months since you put them on. Are they coming out all the time, now? Does the van recognize them all the time now?

Poor mans Earthroamer lacking the luxury, durability, sturdiness & off road capability. The first thing I noticed was the lack of adequate ground clearance. No thanks...

I think the only reason I'd ever want to be a man is to own one of these and go wherever I want and feel safe and free in the woods or mountains lol

Can you measure how far the extend below the body when they’re up?

I am looking at the 144" & 170" sprinters awd and this is my first & going to be my home on wheels for some years to come & I am afraid the 170 will get stuck easier than the 144 going into the desert ( i want to be able to go out for a week /2 at a time & since I am single I was thinking the 144 would be enough space as I will be building a similiar setup to what you have minus all those lights as I do not have the $$ & I want the van compass 6.3 and 35 inch tires conversion with a locking diff & my $ will be gone ... & didn't even get to the inside and the 16 kw 48 volt system I really want. Ok so I am new to van life but I use alot of power so I feel the 48 volt 16kw battery bank is something I will need since I do alot from computers etc & AC . I would want the 170 inch wb but if you were me would you get that or knowing that its just me & my dog or would you get the 144" I am planning on living in remote areas in the desert as well as going to cities from time to time... I just am torn about if the 170' will prevent me from some of the whoop's/ dippin up and down small hills ( I call them) I see some of the 144's make & think it couldnt be any bigger or he woulda not made it (the departure angle is a little less but ogh the extra space * I am 6'4" 265lbs ;/. Since you have the 170 what made you decide on that instead of the 144 ... Thanks and do you know what model Sprinter I should get as far as amenities like lane assist ( as alot of those dont work once you puut 35"tires I hear so I dont want to waste my $ on packages that become unless. I appreciate any & all info you have & thank you alot for this awesome video . I will be one day soon starting my own series . GOD Bless P.S. Liked & subbed

This whole build is dumb.

They make it to break it. They make their money in the service bay.

Sorry but having those rear rotor calipers exposed is dangerous to me dually much cooler

SCHLACHTWAGËN

Radiant heat is fantastic but boiler can be a nightmare long term. I definitely suggest a backup heat source!!

Really like the ambitious humvee setup, but Dude the audio is really fucking bad

I’m disappointed that you didn’t go with the A team paint scheme

Looks Sick!

Did you delete the DEF system?

Nice work. Both you & mainline, nicely done

You should not let your 60-year-old mom with both knee surgeries climb on your work van. Yes, Mercedes need to pay attention to that other stuff.

Nicest thing I’ve ever seen. Earthroamer kick rocks

Jon, just a heads up for when you start bolting stuff to the interior based on my experience in my 3500 XD with shelving units and a near catastrophic incident last week. The issue is the sheet metal that the interior framing is made of which looks to be around 1mm with paint or 20 gauge steel. My shelving unit tore loose from it last week, in spite of there being 4 5/16-in rivet nuts installed (just to anchor the top of the 8-ft shelving unit) because the sheet metal is so thin it allowed the whole thing to flex enough that it stressed the metal to failure, pulling the riv-nuts out with chunks of truck frame. If you're going to mount anything heavy to that inside frame with any kind of L-brackets, I'd recommend riv-nutting at least 14 or 12 gauge steel mounting plates along the sheet metal and fasten to them rather than directly to the truck itself. That will prevent flex at the riv-nuts. It's amazingly sad how cheaply modern vans are made, even the expensive ones...

Where can I get theses !! I want them on my new 24 4runner 😫

DUDE! So stoked to have stumbled on your channel. I have a 3500xd Chassis cab on order and will basically getting the whole shadowmarq treatment aswell. Thank you for sharing your build!

$350,000 sorry but this is a bad business model. Needs to be $60k or less to be competitive for what you are offering. Jack stands under rear bumpers says it all.

Dont even tellmusmthe length and width.

Not sure but the guy that showed you the interior needs to get off the drugs or company is gonna crash
