99% of Van builds have same floor plan. If it's raining or snowing you cannot open the back doors without getting bed wet. A shower with no fan- during winter. The amount of condensation in the van will become an issue.
@@ironpig701 yes, everyone understands how they are designed. Most people do not want to remove all of the heat in the van when taking a shower. Also: The max fan is designed to automatically close when raining.(so water does not get in) Having a dedicated fan and heating vent in shower is far superior. Obviously
@@jabreck1934 my maxx air is designed to be used in rain. So i guess if its such a huge issue then you should market something as folks would buy it or you fail and see its not needed
@@ironpig701 maxx fan is the most common. I have the same one. Designed to operate in the rain? That’s just not true. The airflow does not keep water out. That is why there is an automatic rain sensor to close the fan. Even the dedicated fan in the shower lets a little water in but, it goes right on the shower pan. 10 years, full-time, in every kind of weather,
Nice but I have to say I think the European builds seem to be far better built with better finishes and much better at using the space for about the same money. Check out Kabe or RP Motorhomes.
Macho macho van! Best garage I've seen. Does the shower have a clothes bar and its own dedicated fan? Forgive me if you covered that. If the shower door was lockable with an inside release it could be a safe/safe room too.
Hi, the shower has L-track installed in it that allows you to connect all sorts of items to it, including a cloths line. No fan for the shower, it has a vent grill across the top that allows it to vent and then the main cabin fan can help to pull out moisture.
I really like the foldaway bench seat. Nice for friends. That's slightly different than a linear actuator. It's a gas spring, which sort of does what an actuator does, but passively, meaning no electricity involved. Convenient devices.
I like van builds I will love to build my self one day when I am old enough but I would want a gaming pc in it roof full of solar panels 4 tesla batterys for power washing machine/drying machine 2 in 1 if possible and kitchen for cooking making food I already got the most efficient in space planned out I bet I will be able to build it in a month cause its already planned out and I don't need to follow alot of tutorials to teach my self something so My van I want to build should go to plan and Also thanks for reading this comment and good van build love it I subbed and liked this video
That bench seat is worthless. Can’t ride on that very long hurt back. You have to think about seniors we are the ones downsizing and converting to vans.
The batteries are charged in three ways. Off of solar, from the alternator, and when plugged into shore power. The alternator puts out 250 A and would take just over two hours of driving to recharge. Solar is more of a trickle charger in comparison but can produce around 25 A in direct sunlight. Once plugged into shore, the batteries charge at 80 A and as long as you are using less than that at any given point in time then you can run off shore indefinitely.
This is TRULY the number 1 VAN ON YOU TUBE.... outside of LOUIS the Van... You guys rock... If this would be Perfect if in was in a PROMASTER... ..but we Love it..great JOB
@@emmcey well if thats testament to there build quality and or joinery skills i would urge people to steer well clear of there van builds or has everything inside the camper to be made from steel like living in a vault ?i have watched a ton of off road camper builds never seen any mention of the furniture failing or would that only happen on a titan van ?
@@SuperDemon1973 They are all made out of steel or stainless steel. I don’t understand the dislike of it. The van is made of steel isn't it? That shower is from www.vanwifecomponents.com/store/p/24-x-24-shower-with-base-angled-headliner Only the winnebago revel makes it out of particle board. And Titan Van is booked out for builds until 2022 so I think their quality must be pretty good.
Poor use of space - didn’t see a wash basin on your tour or as pointed out table & seating for eating - using laptop - watching tv etc. Where’s the wardrobe space ? Garage design not compact with loads of wasted space. Why do you need extra seating if only a two berth sleeper. Spend a year touring in a ext LWB sprinter like I have and you will see the shortcomings.
Love your efficient elegant design! I assume 2 kids car seats fit comfortably and easily on the back seat? Curious about final price excluding cost of base van. It appears well insulated for 4 season use so will do well in CO. Smart to have manual awning!! This Sprinter 170 4x4 has it ALL!!
All cabinet gassprings is installed incorrect. The piston must face downwards, otherwise the piston sealing will dry out and gas pressure expell and gasspring is defect……
You’d be surprised how much you try to conserve on water when you’re doing full-time you’re not taking showers every day small things like windows are easy to put in also if you’re customizing your van
Good design but the hot water could be electric and heat exchange system connected to the main engine cooling system so heats the water when driving, I have used this and heats water for free in 20 minutes of driving, insulation keeps it hot for over 24 hours
Great van, amazing garage but the sink is too close to the bed with no protection from splashing. Also no splashback to protect from cooking. Other than that awesome van!
Where is table for eating and working on laptop? I like many of the designs. Would like more of the powder coat metal in the garage where wet things are likely to be.
I have the same question. I want to be able to work online while on the road and not have to stand or sit and hold my plate. I would opt out the extra 2 seats and put a portable table with a removable post.
It’s the shower 🚿 toilet 🚽 room are little disappointing.The wooden slat base of the shower,would be difficult to keep hygienically clean,mould will start to accumulate and will smell and become unsightly...The toilet sits too low for an adult,especially if they have a joint problem.If those things could be addressed,you’ve got yourself a PERFECT VAN!!
In case that you are coming from other ultra-luxury caravan camper videos. Yes they have fancy looks, have luxury stuff and they can grab so much money and they are pretty wider. If you want to touch another button you have to pay another dollar. And when you drive them probably they will say ohh baby slower pls slower ...I called them Kım Kardashian. But, Look at the Titan Vans not so much not so less, exactly the true needs genuinely at your service. Lean,rock-solid, and powerful. I call Titan Vans Linda Hamilton from Terminator 2 . They protect you and are ready to give necessity when needs to. And when you drive, Titan says: Get out my way.
Quality build, kudos for that! But the overly utilitarian aesthetic isn’t very inviting or pleasing to the senses. I get sleek ‘n modern, but this is dark and lacks style (that shower is just depressing!) Remember that “open” cabs are primarily for display. To function without looking messy and cluttered, they need doors. Lastly, there’s no real prep space. Swapping out washing for prepping alongside the cooking area is inadequate, you need both. Simultaneously. The layout just doesn’t work well if you actually cook. And stepping inside kitchen cubbies with your socks or bare feet to get into bed... that’s just unsanitary. I will apologize in advance for my blunt critiques but as a professional interior designer (33+ yrs experience) I’m merely trying to offer valid suggestions that will give your build more appeal and perhaps broaden your target market. I hope you won’t take offense, none is intended. I do like and appreciate your attention to detail work; and the mechanical considerations are very well thought out. Good luck going fwd.
" The BIGGEST, BADDEST Camper Van You Can Get! " - Not hardly - but maybe this is the biggest baddest one you can make , Only a fool would make a claim like this. - But I will say that there is one or two items that I thought were done very very well .
Can I get this with fifty gallons of fresh water and 1000 watts of battery power ... skip that back seat and give me a bench smaller for one person ...enlarge the shower a little and give me a Leguan table by the captain chairs and bench???? Oh and electric awning I don’t need the garage pull out but the shower has to stay
Why do people only use two induction burner tops in these vans? in your house you probably have at least four burners. how are you supposed to cook a meal where everything’s hot and done at the same time with just two burners?
can you explain more about the dish setup, is this a company that provides this? Also. Any idea how much those holding tank heating pads use? I'd imagine they use a lot of juice if they have heating elements... also, what are you doing for airconditioning?
We use 18mm baltic birch core with HPL on both sides. It is a type of plywood but with many layers wich makes it much stronger and stable with the large swings in temperature, humidity, and vibrations.
Van dimensions and where beds tend to be in the vans are close to queen bed dimensions already. None of them sre exactly queen dimensions, 60" x 80". Most customers want larger beds and many of our beds are actually closer to king beds.
full time living.. we had a few guys that lived in their cars full time in the neighborhood I grew up in. My Dad called em bums. The prices on these vans.. your better off buying a house in middle America and getting a cheap 4x4 =). Great looking van though, somebody with a lot more money than me will park it in their drive way 50 weeks a year.
Lots of 'selling points' but they seem like token gestures....the shower is too small, the floor space is wasted, too much reliance on electric and not really much room when you take into account food and kitchen equipment, clothes and personal nick nacks etc. Ok for a few nights or a week but not comfortable for much longer....better for the hire market that personal use.
Just my opinion, but after watching many van conversion videos, this one does not have a good use of space. It looks like it was designed by guys for guys & not much thought given for actual living or organization.
Push button locks are my favorite, I don't live in a van so perhaps it may become something tedious but for me I love them. Hidden slide drawer shelves and push button locks like that are my favorite things I would have a fan with both lol
Very nice build and video. I had a few questions. Is 300W solar enough? Surprised not to see a folding counter extension at the door. Also, you didn’t mention electrical outlets at the bed. Curious if the manual crank for the awning is more common than an automated version for lazy people like me! Finally, I didn’t see any work area/bench/dining area for one or two people working on their laptops. Perhaps I just missed this!
You should add a cutting board on the other side of a sink cover, one side is good wooden and other is plastic. so you just need to turn it around and you have a cutting board. many boats use this thing. Sorry for bad English))
Any metal will condensate and the lack of insulation over the wheel well is an issue, no extension of heating vent into the shower would be an issue if using it as a drying room i think adding the larger heater is a plaster for the lack of insulation and bare metal on display .
Great van… great size, but you really didn’t make use of all the space…. For what the chassis already provides, you didn’t do a awesome job to maximize the benefit of a EXT 170
Fair. At the end of the day the customer has the final say regarding the layout and many prefer to leave some open space for their gear and other belongings.
Does the bed have slats under it to provide ventilation? Also, can you build one with a pull-down table for extra counter space? and maybe a lagun table where the passenger seats are so there is a place to eat? Love the materials and colors.
This is really awesome. Looking at you guys and Outside Van. My family currently role in a LC with a roof top tent with a trailer for outdoors stuff. We are big time skiers in the winter and campers in the summer. These vans caught my eyes only very recently. Although very cool, unique and practical my only concern is reliability. Looking for some long term users here locally to talk to
@@TitanVans Different strokes for different folks design wise. I like the more earthy feel with natural wood. Are you able to do something like this which sleeps four with elevator bed and has a dinette area to boot? Also, can you do propane stove and heaters? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5j0AESCpt_M.html
@@amirizadi7782 We do not do any propane and we have learned over the years that solid wood does not last due to expansion/contraction with the temperature and humidity changes that a van will experience. Also we are no longer doing custom builds. We have 8 models that we now offer after having designed hundreds of custom vans.
