0:17 tour hey Patrick Rob here thanks for having me on your channel really soaked to be here uh want to show you the brand new 20123 Ram promas sitting on Alterra Maxis tires and an beautiful kit done by vtopia let's first start with the floor the insulated floor now what's great about vtopia is if you just need a floor

0:37 and you want to design the rest you can get just the floor from them but I went with everything cuz I wanted to be lazy with this build and I already did two van builds and I could never do this but so let's start here with the kitchen Galley so what's cool about this if we have water that we need from the outside

0:51 I can access it right here and what I love about my little kitchen design is I went with a lot of the dedic products so I have water inside but then I can quick and I'll show you once we get inside I can undo the faucet bring out a water jug and can hang out here with some water and check out these beautiful

1:08 CNC look at this Hardware I could never have done this at my house and the Beautiful Birchwood here so what we're going we go inside we're going to talk more about each kit that you can get for your van whether you go all out like I did or just order one or two things from them so come on in we'll show you

1:25 more so one of my favorite Parts here check that out look at all this room for extra activities standing desk cooking prep area you name it whatever you're into so I also wanted to show you swivel seats but before that see this metal track here this connects into the van using the van Factory crossbars

1:51 and beams so no holes needed into the van unless you want a fan or AC so what's great is each kit you see here attach attes to this let's just call it an LTR and you can do each and every kit what you want so this would be considered one kit again tons of storage beautiful CNC cut

2:15 again we just got it so we're kind of uh still figuring out how we want to build it out and what's going in what drawer so we'll jump over to the kitchen again here's what I was talking about just quick boom take my water outside if I want put in a nice little splash back to make it a little more homey this did not

2:34 come with the kit that was at it and then we move down here just storage for days excellent latches it's actually very quiet when we drive here's another way to get into all my water tanks more storage here recyclable there's my uh portable gas tank for when I want my to do some cooking slide this bad boy

3:01 open look how big that is cutting board and here's my little Camp Chef basically pop it up here I have a little hole made here to run the gas line and hooks up to that gas tank you've already seen so I like that I have this workpace hangout whatever and put away the kitchen when not need it this is empty

3:21 but I'm going to show you my 75 big guide dedic electric cooler fits right there still have to do some wiring again look at this beautiful beautiful would I could never have done this at home so again what's great about vtopia amazing guys to work with but you could order this is one unit this is a unit

3:40 however you want it to work best for you and the price point is amazing so now we'll come down here this is called the toilet pod more storage again still trying to figure out with the shelves we just got it about a week ago this is called the oit drawer so you pull this up pull this up and it

4:03 slides out it's our toilet and our chains for when we get stuck in the parking lot up in Vermont hence the oan drawer so slide this bad boy back boom boom easy peasy so we got here is our coffee station hot water station and our Vitamix station come on down a little bit further this is where all of our power

4:28 lives we got the Goal Zero Yeti Pro 4000 and it's getting energy when I drive it's getting fueled and the solar panels on the roof again Goal Zero I have cushions being made by mattress Insider out of Colorado they're on their way if you keep coming back again there's more storage

4:47 here on this wall panel is everything kind of show you what's happening with the power sun in what we're getting from the solar panels and whatnot we have our lovely fan love this bad boys on a little and go all over the place here so next we have here is all of our power outlets so

5:09 lights this controls our Wei boost air conditioning um and then I have a few other that you probably can't see but right here is an outlet right here is an outlet and I have another Outlet all the way in the front by the driver's side right up here on the wall so never short of power or places to plug into and uh

5:35 here's some more storage and more kits a lot of kitchen stuff I have a big old few pots and pans up there as well as drink wear what I love I'm a little under 6 foot so I have plenty of room but if you're a taller person and you sit and you hit your head look at this just gives a nice little

5:51 Flex to it so again I got plenty of clearance and obviously there's no cushions here but if you're about 6'2 you might hit and if you hit it's it's going to give a little bit so it's pretty nice uh again just more storage for days and more of these beautiful latches look at this again for days oh

6:09 also hit me up on the gram at I love van lifee I got a bunch of stickers I'll mail you for free just drop me your address and then let's talk more about this track cuz you can see it it's a little more exposed here again the whole kit is put on this this metal t- slot let's call it l bracket whatever you

6:27 want to call it attaches to the van it uses the studs in the van so this screws into that and they use the holes in the stud so again no holes are made and then all these kits attached to that so this Cabinetry work is all held right here on the L track and living in New Jersey lots of Salt Air everything you make a

6:48 hole in the van turns to rust so it's great no rust and then we have our awesome everyone knows about these tables Lagoon tables and then our benches more beautiful beautiful Woods beautiful CNC Cuts tons of storage that's where our gas tank lives cuz we have a hot water heater when we

7:07 go outside we'll show you that where we shower oh we got more storage under here this is where it's not installed yet but this is where our heater is going to live you can see the holes are already made and the electric ran we got the SAR heater and what we'll do is that heater will live there it ties into our gas

7:24 line and then there'll be a little cut out there where it shoots out the warm air so when it's time for bed you take these tables they slide right off and again perfect fit right there look at that again more cuts and work I could not do at my house guys have anopia killed it with the

7:46 perfect cut and then what we have next for the hot days up top our jet 3 Series from dedic listen to this bad boy hum oh yeah some good white noise to sleep too all right let's talk about insulation now the table's back on so the whole van under this beautiful lightweight easy to clean ceiling is

8:12 havlock wool um you can see some of it's still exposed I have some fabric to add there but this stuff is super easy to work with and you can touch it you're not going to get all itchy smells like a farm too kind of cool so right there is a hav black wool these are things I it got some really cool about 2 mm 3 mm

8:33 thick with insulation and I sprayed it with some heavy duty 3M and put some Duramax Tweed fabric on I went with a dark color black because when the doors are open and it's messy out the ski resort parking lots they get pretty dirty so again I have more of it on this door as well because as you know all the

8:51 cold air comes in through the doors and it's very hard to insulate them so highly recommend those from Legend Fleet so we're coming outside this is kind of our outdoor SL shed slashgear Locker went with the exo system from our friends yaka here so this fits tons of storage bags I can even get my

9:16 inflatable K kayak in there with other bags this is our snowboard rack because it is winter and it's ski snowboard season even though uh hasn't really snowed yet and then come along to our back area tons of light sneaks in here we have more storage this is kind of where a lot of electronics live and I got to clean it

9:39 up a little bit more but way up in there is where the big old gold Zero Yeti 4000 is and then over here this is where we will shower this is our hot water guy so we have up top we will be installing the road shower and we're going to have a small Line run down it simply connects right here at the bottom and there's a

10:00 little hole back there that the gas line it's a portable 20 pounder that connects right into here I don't have it in yet but that's where it'll live and it's a great brand out of Australia and they sell this whole kit super affordable couple hundred bucks and it ties right into your gas line you

10:22 can have hot water wherever you go throw up some magnets and water shower and you're good and up top what I love another thing anopia did is instead of drilling more holes into the ceiling they ran all the solar through the backup camera/ brake light this little box and again here's our 200 wat Boulder

10:42 two in the back two in the front from Goal Zero come and it's all attached to the Backwoods roof rack we have the ladder here and I'll let you guys come up but I'll show you right now to the boulder 200 solar panel here we have an open space here is where the road shower is going to live our dedic AC we got our we

11:06 boost and then two more solar in the back super sturdy ladder love the Backwoods design all right coming to the front I want to show you guys one more thing one of my favorite Parts about the van the license plate remember we're all a bunch of cooks just get out there and have fun if you guys want to follow along

12:03 couple van kits before but this is pretty spectacular I like the quality of the materials and how simple it is like look at this beautiful when you open this up it just has regular hinges but like no cabinet latches it's just this piece and gravity keeps it down and the quality of the materials is is spoton I

12:23 like the floor kit too because someone's building their own van and they don't want to do the floor themselves they can just buy that it's got insulation one of the hardest ones after hacking around on my driveway doing a few Vans over the years I had previous pro masters it save

12:37 some coin look around but definitely go with one of the kits especially vtopia they were the best to work with um they let me build it the way I want and you know they made recommendations and it was just a joy from start to end and then off camera we were talking a little bit like there's a shower kit you could

12:53 buy so you could have a full bathroom if you wanted yeah they put it here basically their full shower kit go here plenty of Elbow Room again check them out at vtopia docomo room they have the it's a built-in toilet as well and they do full uh water stations and all but again I wanted to keep it simple with the medic

13:14 in and out but um yeah they can build it any which way you want but the main thing is their materials are you know all CNC cut it's absolutely beautiful I'll leave links in the description Rob thank you very much for the time oh yeah before you leave definitely hit me up if you want some of those free stickers and
