Say some bought a Jayco Terrain and wanted a company to tear out the current build and replace it with a custom upgrade, would that be a possibility?

I like ARV's embrace of custom work. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when owners share their design ideas with ARV staff. Keeping dreams compliant with the law of physics and the GVWR must be quite a chore sometimes. :-)

Girl picking at 0:32 best part by far…

0:32 lolol

👋 ARV ⁉ I have an idea 💡 for ARV... Would you ever consider applying your wonderful craftsmen and workmanship to a cargo-trailer build if I were interested ?

Wow the first point is a great observation I actually agree with that: The need for travel experience to cultivate the vehicle vision(s), as I have done.

Why the mask at the beginning

Wood stoves and Espar type heaters will dry and keep dry a van better than anything else. After that you want to create a thermal break at every thermal bridge.. do that with firm closed cell foam strips. Then control air exchange into the structure of the van with controlled venting. You can divert some of the forced air from an Espar actually into the open structure, behind the walls to keep thing dry (and remove snow ). Did this on a T1N.. worked perfect.

This is a good video for those who make over $500,000 a year, already have their house, car, child's education paid for and $1 million already saved for retirement. You don't have to explain the details to those people, they are looking for high quality products. And let's face it, they want something unique to stand out from the crowd. They worked hard and deserve it. ARV doesn't need to do this, but it would be interesting to see a full video showing the complete cost item by item. The price goes way down if you have the same vehicle every time and make an assembly line (like Winnebago) One design works for thousands of vehicles on the road. With ARV (and other companies) each vehicle needs an: engineer, designer, mechanic, plumber, carpenter, electrician, upholstery and metal worker. Imagine the cost of contracting all of those people. It will then cost even more than you think because you need these workers to be skilled in specifically making RVs. (rare skill set, higher cost) ARV has to pay for all of the equipment for all of those diverse workers. Finally, they need the storage to build several projects at once. Finally, the owners get their cut of the profit, why else have a business. Anyway, I hope those at ARV are paid well. The vehicles look great, I am glad you found your niche. Having said that, my family would say I was out of my damn mind for spending $500,000 on a vehicle.

What are your thoughts on closed cell spray foam? I'm surprised that this isn't covered

I just bought a Sprinter 170" high roof cargo van (no windows) that has already been spray foamed...I'm converting it to a camper van...should I just stick with the spray foam alone, or add an additional layer of something...any advice would be greatly appreciated...

Any solar?

Way to little clearance.

Stunning large interior box in a short, stealth, agile design that can go anywhere!

This was a great build out of the trailer What was the height and width of the trailer?

United States Americans Stole... 1. The country known as the United States from the Native Indians 2. Stole humans as black slaves 3. Steal billions in Wall Street 4. Steal precious metals and oil from other countries 5. Steal peace with unnecessary wars 6. And rob you blind when they sell you something by over pricing it. Exhibit A .... This RV company. Well... at least Americans are consistent.

good luck trying to resale a camper with no entrance door lol and sooner or later you'll want to pay another huge amount of money for a new one lol

It’s clever with everything you’d ever need, but 3 years?

Love it. Gonna order one just like it as soon as I hit some lotto $. Only thing I would change is the large AC sticking up high on the roof.

And this is quality, and yes, it is expensive, but so is the Rolls-Royce. You get what you pay for. Good job Advanced RV.

Not a fan (at all) of the design! I self-built a Transit (mid length) 7 years ago (slept in it for a total of 25 months over 75k miles - so I know a thing or two about van travel). I have a plethora of dislikes. But a glaring one is that I like cooking outside when weather permits and to have too go from the middle of the inside of the rig to prep stuff and to go to the front contort yourself around the passenger seat - walk to the back a sh*t ton of times is very very sh*tty work flow!! NTY - such poor workflow gets OLD awful quick. (& then you forget the salt - then you want another cold beer etc etc etc) But Hey Your Dime - so knock yourself out - you will obviously have to put up, shut up and make due.

From the outside it’s an uninspiring big grey box, lacking in style or interesting features. More effort could of been put in to design.

. . . Nice ! I like the interior design and color. It is a bit like the regular 144" mercedes sprinter camper-van conversions, that you can buy right out the mercedes showroom in europe. Being able to transport bicycles inside the van is becoming increasingly important for many people. Large bicycle garages are now standard in Class B-Plus or Class C RVs in Europe and are also increasingly being demanded by prospective motorhome buyers in the USA. The fit & finish on this custom made Advanced RV is certainly very good again. Greetings, Matt, Frankfurt, Germany.

Dang I’d trade all that utility for just a smidgen of style. That is one UGLY build 🤦🏻‍♂️

How many of your employees own an advanced RV?

Perfect without the door, safer, more room. Don’t know why others put doors in the side or back, don’t need them. Best van I’ve seen yet and love the color!

Confused why people that still have to work would buy a $600k RV

👎

Very nice engineering. I did relate to the owner's statement about downsizing his wants into needs. And his statement about perhaps not needing the technology after they retire....not so! I think they'll find that over time they won't need their Peplink, especially with wifi calling over Starlink. Starllink has been an incredible game changer for us.

No side door is one of the dumbest ideas I have seen on a custom build. Isn't it against fire code? The engine catches on fire while you're in the coach, how do you escape?

Price? $400k?

Love it without the back door 😊

why wasn't more shown how to access the van without the main door?

Triple wow

double wow

About 6mpg?

🤔 but you could still have the side door if you wanted that space for a table... the folding table can be attached to the door, just making sure it's well fitted so the door can slide open when the table is down and locked. Another thing I don't like is when the sink is right by the bed, without any partition in between: I don't want dirty greasy water and food particles splashing on my linens, personally. But washing machine? Yasss! 👌🏼👌🏼

wow

Awesome!

Thanks for showcasing your engineers. I really love to see their thought processes.

Keeping social distance looks stup!d seeing this video 3 years later

Just another way America is going to the dogs and the Chinese are beating the pants off of us in productivity. People are getting LAZY. A 4-day work week is just offensive! I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. A 2-day weekend is PLENTY. And I noticed no where in the report does the reporter even ASK about ARV’s 2+ year waiting period. No wonder, when you coddle your workforce to such a degree 🙄

One thing about Advanced RV, while their finishes and appliances are top of the line, they have an unrivaled knack for making even the roomiest B box builds seem cramped and claustrophobic 🤷🏻‍♂️ WAAAY too many floor to ceiling bulky cabinets and fixtures that just eat up the whole space mercilessly. People! Make this your guiding principle: LIGHT & AIRY!!

It’s like sleeping in a coffin ⚰️

I love this! Everything about it is really tasteful. No ugly loud colors used in the interior. Replace the marble by the washer with the same surface as the counter and you have a modernist, minimalist's dream

It costs more than 99% of people that buy RVs will not or cannot afford.

$600k for a Sprinter is kinda insane

Ok Sorry mate. Though there is a demographic that doesn't mind spending this amount on a delivery van converted into a camper. Good on them and congratulations on finding your niche and clientele. I just think of the Red Hot Chili Peppers... 🎵 Californication 🎶
