Can I suggest something in regard to bathroom? The toilet bawl would be much more discrete if you put the flexible rolling door right in front of it. Like rolling door in Travato 59g bathroom. This way when you enter the rig, you see very nice and clean wall at your right shoulder, but when you want to use the toilet, you just pull that door and it slides into position to open access to a toilet and blocks view from inside of the rig. You can even make bathroom larger while in use, by making the door rolling deeper into the rig, forming kind of rounded shaped wall. This will make shower area much larger. I think it's very good idea and it won't cost much compare to improvement it provides. It adds cleanness and streamlines the toilet solution.

GREAT! RV! Thank you for showing it to us.

You forgot to mention the biggest advantage of this Ford vehicle: It's not engineered in the US but in Germany. At Ford Cologne.

Very nice but I would ask for more ground clearance for backcountry adventures. Tuck in the exhaust so it won’t get crushed, replace the driver and passenger running boards with retractable ones, add rock sliders and reduce the height of the side storage.

Just wow, not one single flaw! And many more features than most high quality manufacturers have.. this is the Pinnacle of perfect

Nice Rig! This is about how I would build one for myself... however, I've never been a fan of the upright rigid dinette seating situation all these modern vanlife and RVs have. (You should put nylon webbing under those bed slats... so when you pull them apart they fan out to the right distance, and yet still allow you to stack them close together.)

Absolutely love it. Exactly what I'm looking for

Great design, love the heat pump, big garage & entry bath! Get clean first thing, dry wet clothes and clean a dirty doggo 🐕 I’d like the window screen from the top with shade from bottom, privacy with ventilation ⭐️

that small panel that unfolds and creates a table outside right by the door.....PERFECT all you need

If you want someone to move into it and start a UKposts channel about the adventure and every day life...I'm your guy! Seriously.

damn what a RV, would love to have this. Life goals!! Best RV I have ever seen!

Expedition type build for an RV. Nicely done and with a proper power system. Should sell many at the sub 250k price point with RV financing.

Wow an RV that doesn't look gaudy. Thank you for not putting those dumb graphics on the outside. Those are sooo outdated, but RV companies still put them on for some reason.

AEONrv puts ARV into shame.... and for half price of that. 👍

This is a fantastic design with outstanding utilities and impressive off grid all terrain capability. There is still room for improvement here and there, but this is exactly the kind of rig I want to travel in when I retire. It's compact enough to fit just about anywhere you want to go, but without sacrificing interior functionality and features. You have a great design, please keep on refining it.

I like this RV! I recommend and would like to have the bug screens on the top and the shades on the bottom, so you have a privacy option when having the shade up with ventilation. You can still see out and yet be covered so no one sees you from the head down.

This is the most ... the most well thought out vehicle I've ever seen. I hope I can afford this when the time comes. Nice work!!

Really like that the shower is a mud room that even allows boots to be cleaned outside. This is exactly what Foresty Forest channel needs, but there is no way he could afford it. Also really like the mini split AC. 24:38 Heat the hot water using the coolant lines off the engine!!! Were you like a NASA engineer who got bored or something ?

Some nice innovations here. I like the pass through shower idea, fold down sink, and toilet separation. I’m guessing there must be a manual way to pop the escape hatch over the bed, as if there was an bad event with power failure. The insulated lockable passthrough door is great, as blackout curtains really do little to keep out the cold of the cab in winter. Lots of storage cubbies too ! Not a fan of the countertop soap dispenser, as they drip, and are a pain to bend down and refill. A store bought container of Dawn is so much better. All in all, pretty good starting point for a backroad or highway cruiser. I’d pick it over a Revel awd. 👍🍁

Using a box rather than the standard transit body makes a lot of sense to me. The sprinter is just a little too narrow to put everything in.

Best RV bathroom, well thought off. Love shower for in or out.

Please advise what is the support and maintenance network on these RVs for parts, maintenance, tech support, warranty, etc..since the Ford truck portion is modified, and also for the RV specific portion. Thanks, great video…awesome RV!

Really well thought-out. Love the whole bathroom situation, for example. Also love the large, vertical fridge/freezer, storage steps, and lots more. Storing mountain bikes is a significant consideration for me, and that garage space looks potentially pretty tight for that purpose. Could you post a video showing bikes coming in and out of the storage compartment?

Wow! Lots of great ideas to incorporate into my diy buildout! Thanks, new subscriber! Gonna share this!

My crane has similar latches on it's underbed storage compartments, they twist to open opposite of what you'd expect, even he does it, twice! 4:11 the ESPAR is a great heater, my crane has one also. I had a step van conversion I did 40 years ago, with a similar bed with drawers under it, but it never occurred to me to fashion the drawers as usable steps as is done here, great use of space overall!

1) Love those huge tires, but it seems like there’s engine parts hanging down that make the ground clearance not as high as it could be. I would want a rig like this for off-roading and not have to worry about damaging the low hanging things. 2) The air conditioner hanging off the back looks enormous! 3) Did you show the roof? Does it come with solar panels or is that an option? Ladder? 4) With a separate hot water tank, does that mean you have to constantly be filling it up from the bigger water tank? All in all this looks pretty great. Too expensive for us though. I wonder if the price will eventually come down on these sorts of vehicles or go up?

Bathroom situation is excellent!

Looks fantastic. The size of the RV looks like it could benefit with a Sprinter dually chassis. I would add the ditch lights.

I want this so bad!!!!!!!!! I wish I’m rich enough to afford it.

Are swoopy graphics an option? 😁 Seriously, a very intelligent, tasteful design! I hope you sell a lot of these and influence other RV manufacturers.

Great video. But you guys need lights on your camera. Can’t see in the cab or underneath very well!

Awesome but no mention of PRICE⁉️Anyone pls? 🤔 thx 🙏

Most True 4 Season RV's start at 250K & go up from there, so this falls in that range. I feel it's pricey with the basic needs & with limited resources available, no propane, no generator, no tv. I like the idea of being able to charge the batteries off the RV engine with a switch. I look for an RV that is fully functional within it self-relying on no outside resources. So many have A/C but only on Shore Power. I like camping out at Road America on extended Race Weekends. To do so with electrical hookups would cost me more than double the regular weekend camping fee. Yes, I could throw a generator into the mix, but then you run the noise on hot nights with other campers who are in tents & trying to sleep & the additional cost of the generator fuel. I like the idea of going fully electric, it's just finding ways of keeping those batteries charged. I'm just fine with the cassette toilet & I like your ideas on the freshwater heaters. I'm ok with the induction stovetop & like the space saving idea of keeping it portable. I would upgrade that to a 2 burner. I don't like the idea that the A/c blows right out over the bed. We are working with Global Warming & nights in a confined space are a lot warmer than they used to be. I like the nice big Max Air Fan. So many newer RV's have come out with these smaller ceiling fans that are complete junk. Why put something in there that's going to fall apart the first time you try & use it?

Price is amazing compared to standard adventure vans. Good job, this may be a good second lifestyle for us.

phenomenal design and build. it is evident that you are an RVer and that you thought this one out. you almost lost me at the cassette toilet, but was happy to hear that there is an option for a separating toilet for off-grid camping. well done. when all this be available for sale, and what os the price range?

Awesome, I want one! Thank for the video. Next time have your camera person focus on what you are discussing at the time.

I love this unit does it come in different interior colors?

I LOVE this RV! There are only a few things I would change or upgrade, including adding a water maker and having the 10 batteries instead of 6 or 8 batteries. I am not sure how much solar there is up there, but I would want to optimize that as well.

Very nice design. What is the ground clearance and gross vehicle weight? Thank you.

Extremely nice build you guys!

Very Nice RV I Was Wondering How Long is the box and if you can make the same thing in a 16 ft box .

Best design I have ever seen! Just missing a roof top bunk accessible from inside :)

This is truly amazing. If you can give more details about how/where to hook up at an RV park overnight that'd be great. You mentioned the power and the water intake (something about an adapter?), but the grey water ball valve was shown, but wasn't clarified. Where does the water go from the foldable sink above the toilet? Where does the shower water go?

Very nice rig! I'm a fan of Mitsubishi Hyperheat heat pumps. Is this an option for this rv?

So just a question if i have different vehicle would the company sell and install the box on my vehicle

Hello! I'm loving this build so far. Just a couple of questions: 1) Would it be possible/easy for customers to swap out the 8gal hot water heater with a continuous hot water heater? 2) Roughly how long can this RV hold power off grid with moderate? Meaning no shore power and not starting the engine. Would the A/C heater be able to run all night?

The garage doors look to small, you need to make them bigger like in Europe for bicycle access. It is a fantastic design you have done a job. 👍

can you run AC 24/7 off the solar if it sunny out ?

I do prefer the separate cab as the steel cab with windows is a greenhouse in summer and a freezer in winter. I try to park with the cab facing North in summer to try and reduce the direct sunlight on it. My insulated box provides the shade. I like the transverse bed as well.

Great walk-through video.I love everything about it.

-50F for the espar? How do you keep the diesel from gelling or is there an aux tank in the heated envolope?

What is the going price for one of these? It looks similar to a converted ambulance build.

Great video again guys I’m so happy that they fixed all your problems. Can’t wait to see you take it to Alaska.

Beautiful rig, whats is the tow capacity? Note: I suggest l@@king at the camera while your talking, make connection with your customers and fans. Good luck Jim.

I have a suggestion for the shore power and water filler. I am currently building my own insulated RV (similar layout to yours) and have decided to put the shore power connector next to my driver's seat in the cab. This means the connector is protected from weather and possible vandalism. Also, I loop the connecting cable through my steering wheel which ensures I don't forget it when driving off. The cable exits through the rubber seals on the front cab doors without any issues. On the subject of the water filler, I am installing it inside, above the sink. Whenever I need to fill up, I just put the hose through the nearest convenient window. The inside location prevents freezing, which can affect the locking mechanism in cold conditions. Also, it's protected from road dirt and vandalism. Another idea, which I borrowed from another UKpostsr: I'm fitting a 2 way tap to my shower head. I have a master shower tap outside by wet room. When I turn the master tap on, the hot water is pumped into the shower but I have a 2 way diverter. The default position recirculates the hot water back to the white water tank. This helps twofold: It keeps the water in my white tank a bit warmer, preventing any possibility of freezing in very cold conditions. It also allows my shower to get to full temperature before I step in to the wet room. I turn the tap and water diverts to the shower head.

Great Floor-plan, really maximize interior space.

Impressive and Innovative. It is great to see an Engineer who is the designer, owner, occupant and decider. This is a phenomenal start. Someday I hope to see you in Reno, but last time was with a guy named Johnny. Not Good:)

I’d like to see 40 gallon of water on both side.

If you flip the screen and blackout shade, the other way, you can make it to where you just let a little light in at the top where you can see out. a lot of people prefer it that way.

My one question is, is All Wheel Drive as good as four-wheel drive? And if not, is four-wheel drive with lockout hubs, available? I have not had a vehicle with all wheel drive, so I do not know about that.

You guys are genius man

How is the stability with the water tank location and design?

How much battery power (Amp hours) are in there. How much $ is this RV as it stands?

The best rv. But the problem is can I af-ford it?

If this Van's live's up to what you says, You sholud some dealers in North Europe to sell it! Convertid to our's 220 to 250 volt and a right price combined to expensive Mercedes Benz, it's a killer! You have, but only on 4x4 wheels drive and 9 gear auotomantic gear box! Love it! From Petee Eriksson Sweden Europe price around 225 000€ top knox!😊😊😊

Impressive! (People scoffing at the price have not actually looked at what's actually available out there.) I'd love to see a dedicated video of this out in the wild. How does it really do off road? What are it's capabilities? Limits?

The gear locker id even sleep in there with a cot its so well made!

Good to have a video of all the bits and pieces - port here, plug there, door over there. But, recommend you have a video focused on why you made this, who did you make it for, what can the rig do for the customer - and why did you choose all the components to allow them to do whatever it is you feel the rig allows them to do. You are in the weeds with this video - bring it up a level. Don't make people guess WHY you designed this rig the way you did - TELL them WHY.

This is awesome. I’m would love to get my hands on one, but we are a family of six. I would not fit in this two parents for children. 😢

really nice build

Wow, thats an awesome setup! What is MPG on a van base like that? These Fords like to suck down the fuel.

she looks heavy and AWESOME

Great vid Jim~ have you ever considered having a dual rear wheel setup?

Whats the dimensions of the camper box? (Outside)

I would prefer a dry flush toilet like LAVEO. I have one and just love this system.

OCCC is 1500 pounds? Subtract 400 for 2 Americans, another 280 for water, plus whatever else you want to add in that lovely garage and methinks that the weight rating of the rear axle will hit the limit before the OCCC kicks in. Why SRW instead of DRW?

How many amps is your charger from the alternator via an inverter? And how many amps does your alternator produce? Thanks for answering this questions in advance. More power Aeon RV… I’m your new subscriber.

What is the fuel economy and what is the price.

It would be great to have twin bed option in back

Baja designs and Highway products, great partners! not a big fan of the bfg's anymore, they don't live up to the name they used too. Any future winch options?

Nice, butbwhats the true power & all electric egress etc. Not always possible based on sun etc

What is the website I can go to configure and also get an est price?

Will something like this be available in Australia??

What is y he base price on 1 of these. I missed it if in the video

I would definitely put a water maker in that back area.

What an exceptional design and construction!!! So many carefully considered elements to achieve a highly versatile and energy efficient unit! Thanks for sharing. Any plans to offer t❤ravel trailers?

Almost perfect. Needs a macerator I hate cassette toilets

That pass through shower just make ur entrance door area always wet.. when usually put outdoor kitchen/table n chair for hangout, bbw ,etc..normally..

Nice looking product but you need to offer two floorplans. An enclosed such as this and a toy hauler variant. Tons of people would put dirtbikes, adventure bikes, and snowmobiles into something like that.

Is it affordable?

Lighting isn't sufficient to see the suspension features.

What mpg do you get

Perfection

Love everything about this RV, except the black interior. Most people use RV's in the summer, and it usually gets hot. You have to park in the sun because of the roof solar panels. BLACK interiors make the RV hotter!

What a bummer, no chrome wheels. I have a 2020 Ford high roof Transit with chrome wheels. Love chrome wheels.

Nice rig!

Finally something special (Victron)

wats the longest rv youve built?

Interesting. Im not sure about entering through the toilet though. Might be OK when the vehicle is new but after you have been off rodd for a few weeks it may be a different story.

Very nice
