@voci4202 4 года назад

This definitely puts "stealth" in "stealth van," I would absolutely use this approach when looking for/building one of my own in the future. Nothing out, no suspicion, just a nice little "business van" with everything concealed just right in plain sight. The only other thing I could ask for is a shower system, which I would have used part of the closet space for on the toilet side. Maybe something that comes down, so it's not an established part of the van. Other than that it's perfect, I would absolutely take this van. Edit: spelling error, extended on idea.

@terryholdredge6393 5 лет назад

The man has built and now sold 5 vans... in a country with a population over 300,000,000. It's not for everyone. But that interior would pass for a slick business office anywhere, which fits the needs of at least 5 people. Kudos for finding a niche and doing it well.

@lorcro2000 5 лет назад

Love the Murphy bed. That's pretty much exactly the design I've been considering for myself. A bed you can put away fully made and then just flip down to sleep is just perfection, none of that aggravating making-your-bed-twice-a-day stuff, and you don't have to use up 75% of your entire living space on a permanent bed platform. I still want the living area up front as well, and the ability to rotate the front seats, and somewhere in my van I am going to wedge in a shower, and there will be at least one window in the sliding door... but I do like the build choice in this one.

@JarrodTocci 5 лет назад

I agree with you but I've said before everyone is different when it comes to personal designs. That's what makes van building so cool 😀

@lorcro2000 5 лет назад

@@JarrodTocci Yep. And all in all, this is absolutely one of the best, if not even the best, build I've seen. Personal choices like windows or no windows, and using the front seats or not aside, this is an awesome build (aside from the shower which - for me - would be a deal breaker.) The huge Lithium, dedicated alternator, all-electric everything, even floor heat, no propane and just diesel furnace to heat the space - just a dream spec that's probably super easy to live with, and my hat is off to Brandon. I suppose building a few vans has let him drill down to a good setup. I do take some issue with the notion that solar would take 20 days or whatever to fill 600 Ah - sure, if you start from scratch and have tiny solar, maybe, but you can put 3-6-900 watts of solar on top of a van, and rarely does anyone use that much every day. So solar is still very useful even with 600 Ah or more of Lithium - it keeps it topped up making it that much less necessary to run the engine.

@Mrandy8895 5 лет назад

This build is being big red up for its design. It's different I agree, and very fancy. LOTS of money spent on it. However, look passed the gloss and the swensha bull. And see the actual WASTE of space!!!! He as not even managed to get a shower in!! And the Murphy bed in fact takes up room more than saves room!!! That complete side of the van is bed. It's fancy but not very good. Certainly not anything to get excited about. ALL those sacrifices for "supposedly" better stealth. When we all know, well those of us that live in vans. That if you park in the wrong area, it makes no difference how " stealthy' you THINK your van is. You get trouble or moved on. It as far to many negative points for me to even consider. The only thing I line about it is the skylight lol

@lorcro2000 5 лет назад

@@Mrandy8895 I disagree about the Murphy bed. With it, his worktop can extend all the way to the back, and he still fits in a big comfy sofa back there as well. This design has the benefits of a normal convertible bed-sofa while making it much easier to switch between sitting and sleeping, literally flip the bed down or up, since the bedding is already in there. It also has all the amenities you need in a home except for the shower - toilet, fridge, kitchen, etc. I do agree with you that the obsession with being stealthy has gone too far for me personally, but if he's willing to make that sacrifice then that's up to him.

@Mrandy8895 5 лет назад

@@lorcro2000 yes totally up to him you are right. But it's being "promoted" as some kind of out of this world van.....And quiet frankly it is crap! I did not want to take this further, because the thing is in fact so crap. 1- Go to your local police station. Or better still mental hospital. Ask to be put in one of their isolation cells!!!! No wait sit in this van it's the same!!! We mentions winter, in winter a d ever just in inclement weather you spend a lot of time in the van!!! Or in this case a ISOLATION CELL. 2-Take a look at his cooker? Well that was well thought out wasn't it? Flaming cannot even stand in front of it! On it work surface is on its left! And it's at the very back of the van, so all the heat and condensation from cooking stays in the van. Or you have that fucking great hole in the roof open, which as NO EXTRACTION FAN!!! And good look cooking in the rain with it open. Very clever.......NOT 3-Then there is the sink.......at the OTHER END OF THE VAN!!!!!! Do you cook???? Have you designed your kitchen in such a way???? In fact have you ever seen a kitchen like that????? No! Why???? Because it's fucking STUPID!!! 4-Whats all the WASTED SPACE between the beautiful sink and the beautiful cooker with there beautiful covers!!!!! 5-No shower!! 6- Ready made bed, many many campers have pull down beds full size and do NOT stop you from having windows!!! I could go on and on........get over the Murphy bed and the super expensive batteries. Apply some actual practical thought into IS IT FIT FOR PURPOSE??? Just with difficulty but not a long term enjoyable home. No the bloke does NOT know what he is doing.

@hongshi8251 5 лет назад

Jarrod, thank you for another great video. I'm not buying into this guy's authoritative statement that you can't live in a vehicle. Rather than argue the point, others should just consider alternative views. The fact that insurance companies offer policies for full time van dwellers is enough to give you some respite. Montana and a few other states allow you to setup LLC companies to avoid sales tax and have a legal mailing address with services provided by long established providers. In terms of build quality, this a very fine example. It's obvious that most of your viewers, including myself, prefer the shower option. Other features such as the heated floors are outstanding. I find the addition of the electric blanket very thoughtful. I still consider the bed position width vs length to be a better option especially when combined with your workshop layout.

Chris Reed kinda what i was thinking. it is absolutely beautiful. the efficiency and design are unparalleled. but if i had $120k to drop on a house, i would probably...well, drop it on a house. my favorite tiny house builder could make two houses, both with proper showers, lofts, laundry, thermal control, etc for that price, and i’d be able to rent one out. $120k for a single house for two people, no shower? not happening. again, this design is impeccable and i’d love to draw from it in the future, but. that’s so much money for a van.

The design is very clean which is nice. I do think that it's not a good design for people that go out for hiking/mountainbiking/snowboarding as you need more storage space and a spot to put your dirty items (bike, shoes, snowboard, wet clothes,..). I do think this design is nice just to travel around to visit cities, beach, walks, .. I saw the comments about a missing shower, but I think that's easy to fix. You hook up a shower head on your sink tap and you can shower outside. During colder days, you can easily take a tub inside or shower at the gym. Maybe he is already doing it that way. I like the bug screen at the door! I like the skylight as well, but I wonder during hot days if a fan is necessary to create low pressure (cooling).

@olivergradwell5206 5 лет назад

A camera on the outside is perfect for stealth? lol

@abundantlyclear 5 лет назад

I wish he had shown us the way he uses the cameras.

@williefisterinc.7624 5 лет назад

Oliver Gradwell actually yes it is. cameras these days are tiny and be mounted anywhere...for example on the dashboard of the van.... also compared to a huge window it is PERFECT

@williefisterinc.7624 5 лет назад

anyone else want to back me up on this? I guess this guy has never seen a hidden camera show or anything else that has a hidden camera...

@williefisterinc.7624 5 лет назад

just an after thought... most vans have back-up cameras. for all someone knows it's a dash cam or back-up cam. i wish people used thier noggins before making comments...😂😂😂😂

This is insane! So much of the thought behind this build makes sense!

Sold, huh? Who was the buyer, Daniel Craig? If James Bond needed a stealth camper, this would be the one Q would build for him. The Murphy Bed truly blew me away. Jarrod, your van tours are entertaining, inspiring, and informative. You are the Anthony Bourdain of the DIY camper build. Somewhere around 1900, the Murphy Bed's inventor was looking to hide the bed in his one-room San Francisco apartment so that he could entertain ladies without them becoming alarmed. Any parrellell here? Got an opera singer in your life, Brandon?

Cleanest build I've ever seen. Amazing!

@cesalt2408 5 лет назад

Wish we could have seen how he set up the murphy bed. What hinges, etc. No hardware gets talked about in this video, and that's important.

@lorcro2000 5 лет назад

Probably not that complicated. My plan is to buy some t-slot aluminium and construct the bed frame (80/20 is probably the biggest supplier in the US) and after that all you need are some hinges and a support structure, which will (for me) also be t-slot aluminium bolted together and bolted to the van. A bed that size doesn't really require counterweights or complex mechanicals - but that said, I agree, I would have loved to see a build video of that bed.

@shnuggumz 5 лет назад

This gentleman built out a very similar murphy bed, I feel like I could manage it myself: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5cnPGioJksw.html

From the way this vehicle is presented I get the feeling his skills lay mostly in design and not fabrication. It’s been my general opinion that when someone builds something themselves, no matter how crude or clumsy looking, they love to go on about the fabrication process, while someone who contracts everything out, is indifferent to the process and it wouldn’t occur to them to ever talk about it

@colleenkaralee2280 4 года назад

There are companies that sell murphy bed kits.

@tylerasmith52 5 лет назад

Ok. I’m gonna say it. Seen 100’s of van builds at this point. This is my favorite! Brav-the-fuck-O man, crazy smart design

@JohnnyFD 5 лет назад

Wow I love that Murphy bed! Best of both world's to have it hide away while being easy to put up and down. Love the Skylight. Would still like a window through, just with a cover up. But I guess with the door open it's kind of a big window anyways.

@mscalucas 5 лет назад

Seriously sweet van. In these van life videos, I see alot of people comment about the need for a shower. To stay clean between shower availability, just give yourself a sponge bath and you can wash your hair in the sink,if your hair needs to be washed that is. And I really appreciate the feng shui aspect. If it adheres to feng shui principles, I might put more mirrors on the walls to open up the space and for light reflection.

@os2841 5 лет назад

My partner takes up to 3 showers a day and at least two esp if he is running around all over the place, so thats not gonna fly haha

@abhinavmailing 5 лет назад

The most logical van built. You don't need the bed open.whole day wasting precious space.

@colleenkaralee2280 4 года назад

yes, and it resolved the annoying only two feet or less of laneway in a Class B, and that counter top could even be narrower in depth. I like a nice balance between open space and necessary furnishings and storage.

@CurseMonstr 4 года назад

Needs a shower, great ideas just no shower really torches it. Cost wise also you can get a much more luxurious rv for that price with air conditioning, full bath, full kitchen.

I rather buy a house for $120,000 instead a van. 🏡Van depreciation and house usually increase value in long run.🚃

@kathryntokarska6062 5 лет назад

I would buy a house, rent it out, and live in a van.

@thehoff3189 4 года назад

Where I live, there are no houses below 300k unless I want to drive 2-2 1/2 hours to work everyday

@ZestyUdders 4 года назад

I mean if you can find a house for only 120k sure.

@orange1872003 4 года назад

If you're financing the things you buy, and those things don't, or can't, generate money for you, you're already losing... Financing your primary home, and then considering it an asset, is a pretty delusional thing to do.

@demonkid16 4 года назад

@@orange1872003 A house is an asset. You can depreciate in your taxes (A certain amount each year)--so you pay less on taxes year round. You can depreciate expenses paid on improvements to the house. Get financial incentives to own an actual home. Pass it over to kids without them needing to pay taxes on it later on. Use it as collateral for loans with better terms later on if you want to open a business or get something nicer. GOOD luck trying to do the same with a van. Going to try to depreciate a van that costs 120k? And have it fly over the IRS? There is a limit to how much can be deducted on a vehicle. Also, a banking institution will not take this as collateral for a loan of even 60k. So there is a lot wrong with what you said. I understand where you are coming from but... owning a home? Yeah. Thinking badly of it is folly. The biggest reason people end up millionaires is through real estate and building equity in homes and using said equity/leveraging it and expanding your real estate portfolio (plus renting it out). It is not van-lifes.

@MLCDelux 4 года назад

I watch a ton of these videos, I love seeing so many unique builds, this is my absolute favorite stealth van, Brandon is on another level for sure, so impressive. My question is, does he still build these? I assume there's a price tag that matches the awesomeness of his work, a van to live in full time that is of this caliber is worth the investment. I'm going to be looking for a vehicle to live in at some point this year and after seeing this I really want to connect with Brandon to see what's what. Thanks for so much great content on your channel.

Jarrod i love the videos you make and i love this van.. but still, can you find a few more stealth vans like this with no windows because realistically stealth living is the way forward and to be honest i would rather not everyone know that i am living in the van where ever i happen to be park, amazing van and keep up the good work ✌️
