00:08Welcome back to the channel back here at Brooklyn camper vans in East Williamsburg Brooklyn New York
00:13Today I met up with Oliver and he's gonna give us a full tour inside now of this Sprinter 170
00:18There's a lot of cool new accessories on this one so join us for the tour
00:23What's up Patrick welcome back to another video tour of one of these beautiful vehicles
00:27So the first thing that probably pops into your mind is what color is this well this is actually a
00:33PPF
00:33So this is a PPF color change similar to other PPF that you saw on our channels
00:38But this has a color change so it's white originally and then now it's frozen
00:44Light blue we can call it a really cool thing about the PPF
00:48Which is different than a vinyl wrap is the self-healing properties
00:52So if you could scratch the sun you know kind of reheal all those scratches and it's thicker than vinyl
00:57So it truly protects the paint from rock chips and everything else which is kind of perfect when you go
01:01off-road
01:02Especially in those like high uses places that throw rocks from the tires
01:07Another big thing that you can notice the entire van is lifted
01:10So it has the brand new agile off-road rip kit race factory one
01:15So it actually adds a fox shocks in the front
01:18Full blue stain yellow shock absorbers and then we paired it with bigger tires this time
01:25So we choose a different black rhino wheel but also the all-term tires are 265-70-17
01:32With the Mundo guard
01:35Slightly wider mud guard kit so that makes it actually for a bigger tires front and back
01:41Another cool thing in the front that we like to add to vehicles
01:45This is the Flatline Venco bull bar
01:48This adds a little bit of protection and also is perfect to just give a little bit more meaner look
01:53So nobody's gonna park closer to you
01:55The vehicle is actually fully
01:57Set it up with an ARB compressor air
02:00On board
02:02This is actually the version 2.0 which is really cool because you can actually control it from the phone
02:07So you can fully air down and air up
02:09From your phone with presets so you can go at the beach and have the specific
02:13You know pressure that you know
02:15A couple of new things that you can see
02:17One interesting thing is the client choose not to put any
02:21Stepper boards on this
02:22We think he's gonna come back but
02:24That was his choice because it makes it a little bit more off-road capable
02:29Unaka roof rack on the top
02:30If you've seen our vents before we love using Unaka
02:34Unaka paired with the Diodynamic eight pods lights on the top
02:39Unaka is an amazing company
02:40They help us always design new parts
02:42So the wind fairing is custom made for that lighting
02:45Another accessories from Unaka is their side ladder
02:49This is a great place to store surfboard and everything
02:52But also it gives you full access to the roof
02:54Which this van is outfitted with a full walkable roof deck
02:58With walkable solar panels
03:00On the back you can see we outfit it with the bump outs
03:03These are white underneath it
03:06So we match them to the color of the vehicle
03:07And then they've been fully wrapped in the PPF
03:10And then in the back a couple of really cool accessories
03:12So this is their new
03:15Aluminous
03:17Bike electronic bike rack
03:18Let me show you
03:19So first you're gonna unlatch and then just release the bike
03:21And then with the little Milwaukee battery
03:24Because it's all
03:26Independent from the power system in the back
03:29Which is kind of amazing
03:29You don't have to drill anything
03:30It goes all the way down to a perfect height
03:34And then you have the one-up bike rack
03:36Which is super easy to unlock your bike
03:39You just do this
03:40And then this
03:41And then your bike comes out
03:43I mean I'm lucky that this bike is super light
03:45And then same
03:46So whatever bike you have
03:47If you have a big mountain bike
03:48Or an electric bike
03:49You can always outfit it for this
03:51And then you just reset it
03:55And center it
03:56And that's it
03:57This is kind of the perfect way to store it
04:00And then you just push it back up
04:03Yeah, we think this is the perfect combo between having bikes and storage
04:08Because we paired it with their Aluminous big cargo box
04:11Which I'll show you
04:13You can store everything in there
04:14And then
04:16They have an extension for the handle
04:18And then it's kind of perfect
04:19I'm 5'9
04:20So you don't even hit it
04:21When you open it
04:21And then might as well
04:23Over here we can talk about
04:24The garage
04:25So a couple of things
04:26That you can notice right away
04:27The client didn't want to refinish the doors
04:30Because they have their own magnetized systems
04:32They can have pockets and everything else
04:34We use the original cargo door panels
04:38From Mercedes
04:39We just changed the hardware
04:40So it stays stronger
04:41We actually love these
04:43Because they're really durable
04:44So whatever things shift in transit
04:47If they hit the back door
04:48It really doesn't scuff them up
04:50And then big things about the back
04:52Is our EcoFlow system
04:54Of course
04:54This is their new 5kW power kit
04:57With one battery
04:58Because this vehicle is set up with a dual alternator
05:00So it charges twice as fast
05:02And then, you know
05:03We try to keep everything nice and clean
05:05It's already pre-wired for the starting
05:08So we have the clients bring the hardware
05:10And then, you know, all the connections are here
05:13We have their little connection for the hardware
05:16And then we 12V conversion the modem
05:19So everything runs out of the 12V systems
05:21On the other side of the garage
05:23It's our water system
05:24This is a 40G water system
05:26With our winterizer
05:27This is the little bracket for the Starlink
05:29Outdoor shower
05:30Which I will show you in a second
05:31And then, yeah
05:3240G water tanks
05:33Water pump
05:34And then all the switches with the pressurizer
05:36And everything is in there
05:37With the winterizer and dump valve
05:40Right here, it's our little outdoor shower
05:42Quick connect
05:43It's kind of a perfect place
05:45That's where the shower head can actually hook
05:47And then the water inlet
05:50We like the gravity simplicity of these
05:53They just work perfectly
05:55And then a couple of things
05:56These are the awning arms
05:57For the awning outside
05:58And then this is one of those bed systems
06:01You can lift up
06:02So you can actually lounge
06:03In the inside of the van
06:05Which we'll show you a little bit
06:06Let's go on the other side
06:08And show you the inside
06:09So, let me close this big boy
06:14Bonk
06:14Alright, another couple of things
06:16Fiamma F45
06:17This is the 170 version
06:19So it's a 400
06:20Really huge
06:21It juts out
06:22Almost like 15 feet
06:23And it just creates a beautiful area
06:25No step up
06:26So, a little bit of gymnastic
06:29Let's talk about
06:29What you see right away
06:31So, this client wanted
06:32A nice lounge in the front
06:33So this is
06:34A really cool L-shape couch
06:37A couple of really cool things
06:38About this couch
06:39Is the fact that
06:40This is storage as well
06:42So it becomes
06:42A little storage compartment
06:44We love using
06:45A lot of sailboat stuff
06:47So, a full
06:48Stainless steel
06:49Marine proof
06:51Latching system
06:52So it closes
06:53And then it fully closes
06:54And this is going nowhere
06:55Also, a couple of things
06:57That we do
06:57That you cannot really see them
06:58There's hardware
06:59Under the box
07:00Which has little tiny wheels
07:02So no matter how much weight
07:03You have on this box
07:05This box will always slide
07:07Of course, custom cushions
07:09On this side
07:10You have a little storage compartment
07:12I can remove these pillows
07:15Which are Velcro
07:16So they don't fly out
07:17When you drive
07:20A little system
07:21Got a couple of cartridges
07:23From the toilet
07:26And then let me show you
07:27A couple of details
07:28Which we love
07:30The quick thing
07:31That you can see
07:32These are flush outlets
07:34So we route everything
07:35To make it nice and flush
07:36And then the flooring
07:38It's LVP
07:39So luxury vinyl planks
07:41We glue them down
07:42So the sun doesn't really
07:44Change the distance
07:47And everything
07:47It doesn't buckle
07:48And this is a really nice
07:50Light maple color
07:52So moving on
07:54To the front of the cab area
07:55This vehicle is outfitted
07:57With two swivel seats
07:58Which makes the entire lounge
07:59A lot more accessible
08:01For more people
08:01Right there in the center
08:03You can see the control
08:04Of the onboard air compressor
08:06And also of course
08:07You have roof black lights
08:08And fog lights
08:09On the roof
08:09The van is outfitted
08:11With a headliner shelf
08:13And also Van Essential
08:14Makes these really cool
08:15Little insulated curtains
08:16Which has a cutout
08:18For your Wobasto
08:20Which of course
08:21This van is set up
08:22I'm going to move it
08:23So you can see it
08:24This is set up
08:25With an EVO 40
08:26This is at the high altitude
08:27Up to 14,000 feet
08:29Perfect if you want to go
08:30Have a Colorado winter
08:32And then a lagoon table
08:33Of course
08:34And then if you start
08:35Actually moving towards the back
08:37You find our
08:39Typical split galley
08:40So stove side
08:42Which has the Dometic
08:4580 liter fridge
08:46And then on the other side
08:47Is the wet side
08:48So it's like sink
08:48And shower
08:50Upper cabs
08:51All throughout
08:52The one in the front
08:53They're actually
08:53A little more narrow
08:54So you don't hit your head
08:55When you get up
08:55And you know
08:57Plenty of storage
08:58Small little lip
08:58So things don't fly out
09:01And a couple of things
09:02On the ceiling
09:02While we're here
09:03So we love to do
09:04Full length
09:05Clear pine slats
09:08That have small little plugs
09:10To hide away the hardware
09:11Because we're stickler
09:13About hardwares and designs
09:14Black background
09:16And then clear pine
09:18On the front
09:19We switch to these new fans
09:21This has built in shades
09:22Which is kind of amazing
09:23And then they're really quiet
09:25So they are brushless motors
09:26You can see when it's actually
09:28In exhaust or fan mode
09:30You can switch it to exhaust or fan
09:33And then you can just get more power
09:35If you can turn it off
09:36And also one quick thing
09:37Is the lamp
09:38It's a lot cooler
09:40The color that we like
09:41But it's kind of perfect
09:42Because you can actually see
09:43What you have in your headliner
09:44Which is
09:45This is kind of no man's land
09:47It's like a void
09:48You lose things in there
09:49These are all the blinds
09:51And bug screens for the vehicle
09:52Let me turn off these lights
09:53And then moving on to
09:56The back
09:58And also the walls
09:58That I want to talk about it
10:00This specific vehicle
10:01Gets sprayed
10:02The entire wall color
10:05You know
10:05Different texture
10:06We roll or spray
10:06Depends on the texture
10:08But it makes it really
10:09Really clean and smooth
10:11USB outlet here
10:12For when you want to
10:13Charge your phone
10:14And also this little button here
10:16This is actually
10:16Your mag latch bypass
10:18So this entire vehicle
10:20Has electronic mag latch
10:21Connected to the vehicle
10:22So as soon as you turn on
10:23The vehicle
10:24All your drawers
10:25Gets automatically lock
10:26But if you're idling
10:27Or you need to just go
10:28In the back
10:29You can always bypass it
10:30By pushing the switch
10:31A couple of more things
10:35Evernite countertops
10:36This has a marble effect
10:37We embedded the stove
10:39Always into the countertop
10:41So it makes it nice and clean
10:44The ventilation of the fridge
10:45Has cane webbing
10:47Which is kind of a perfect look
10:49For the client
10:51Little 80 liter
10:52That we talked about it before
10:53Has you know
10:54A little freezer in the top
10:57The way that we split the galley
10:59Is usually a big drawer
11:01Like this
11:01Which is perfect for trash
11:02Or anything in the bottom
11:03And then accessories
11:04Or forks
11:05Or anything in the top
11:06Then you have four
11:07Big drawers
11:08All your accessories
11:09All throughout
11:10And then the bottom one
11:11Is actually flip out
11:13Because you have the wheel well behind
11:15So we kind of achieve
11:16More space like that
11:17And then on the other side
11:18We have our sink cabinet
11:21Hot water heater
11:22This is the Bosch
11:222.5 gallons
11:24And then
11:25Yeah
11:26So we use of course
11:27The same cutout
11:28Of the Evernite
11:29To hide out
11:30The sink
11:32Which kind of makes it
11:33A perfect place
11:33To have more storage
11:37Stainless steel faucet
11:38Water pump switch
11:39On the side
11:40And then now
11:41You start getting into
11:42The controls
11:42And things from the back
11:44Of course
11:45Dimmable lights
11:46All throughout the van
11:47You have
11:49Under cabinet lighting
11:50And of course
11:50Overhead
11:51And then
11:52Let's talk about
11:52Storage in the front
11:53So
11:54The client is Italian
11:55Like me
11:55So we didn't grow up
11:57With microwaves
11:58But there's still
11:59A space for a microwave
12:00So if he ever changes idea
12:01He can put a microwave
12:02And then more storage
12:03All throughout
12:04The cabinets
12:05A couple of things
12:06More about our control center
12:08If you've seen our videos
12:09We love the simplicity of it
12:10Gray water system
12:12Command
12:12Is actually to the top
12:14So you can actually
12:15Dump your gray water valve
12:16Electronically
12:16From here
12:17You don't have to go
12:17Under the van
12:18And then gray heat
12:19So the entire gray water heater
12:20It's heated by
12:23An electronic
12:25Heating components
12:26Underneath it
12:27And then
12:27This is our style
12:28On how to keep up
12:30With technology
12:30So we use
12:32A cigarette lighter
12:32And then these
12:33Are the little
12:34Chargers you can find
12:36On any gas stations
12:37So you can keep up
12:38Whenever phones
12:38Changes
12:39Their charging system
12:41And then to the back
12:42You can actually find
12:43Our CCTV system
12:45This is tried and true
12:46Everybody loves it
12:47You have full 360
12:49Degrees view
12:50Of the entire van
12:51And it's kind of
12:51A nice peace of mind
12:52When you're inside the van
12:54Let's talk about
12:55The bed
12:56This is where
12:57Everybody wants to talk
12:58So this van
12:59Has the bump outs
13:00So you can sleep
13:01Up to 6'3
13:02Across
13:02We love these mattresses
13:05These are room rest
13:05Built in the Pacific Northwest
13:08These are actually
13:10Full 6 inch
13:11These are memory foam
13:12And you can actually
13:14Ask us to any kind of
13:16Density or different style
13:17So we can replicate
13:18And mimic any other mattress
13:20That you have at home
13:21Of course they're built
13:22In a way they can actually
13:23Flip up and down
13:24And then we make little
13:25We call it french fries
13:26Which are the little
13:28Inserts for the bump outs
13:30So you have full usage
13:31Of the entire van
13:33And then also
13:34You have little
13:34Two USB power
13:37Sockets on both sides
13:38So you can charge your phone
13:39And then while we're here
13:41Let's talk about
13:42Air conditioning
13:43So this one is the
13:44Valet 48V 3000
13:47We've been using these
13:48Quite a lot
13:49And we really love them
13:50They're really powerful
13:5148V
13:52So they're natively
13:53Connected to the battery system
13:54Which EcoFlow
13:55Natively is 48V
13:56So it's kind of amazing
13:58And it consumes
13:59Little to no energy
14:00And they're really powerful
14:02So each and every AC
14:03That we have
14:04The facility
14:05We always test them
14:06In real life scenarios
14:08So we leave them
14:09And outside in the summer
14:10Bake it up to
14:1190 degrees 100
14:12And then turn it on
14:13And see exactly
14:14In every 30 minute increment
14:15How much it cools down
14:17So these are performing
14:18Really well
14:18And yeah
14:20We love them
14:20At the moment
14:21And then let's talk about
14:23A couple more other things
14:25All throughout
14:26If you see
14:26You have toe kick lights
14:28Bump out lights
14:29These are all RGB
14:30You can just change the color
14:31Make it a mood
14:32And then
14:33Let's talk about
14:34The
14:36Goblin door
14:37As we call it
14:38Or cat door
14:39A little pass through
14:40You can use it for
14:42Multiple things
14:43So it can be
14:44Perfect as a pass through
14:45If you have a skis
14:46Or a long pole
14:47To run
14:48Or if you have
14:49Your dock crates
14:50In the back
14:50You can actually have
14:51The dock crate
14:51Set up in a way
14:52That it actually
14:53Has the entrance
14:53Towards this
14:54So your pup
14:55Can go in the back
14:56And then
14:57Let's go
14:58To the piece of resistance
14:59So this is
15:00The shower
15:01Of course
15:01In this layout
15:02The 170
15:03Has the shower
15:04Right in the middle
15:05Has the dry flush
15:06Toilet
15:07These are dry flush
15:08No water needed
15:09For these
15:09They're just seals
15:10You can throw away
15:11The bag after 20 uses
15:13And then these are
15:15Removable
15:15The whole toilet
15:17Comes out
15:18And then you have
15:19A full shower inside
15:20So I'm 5'9
15:21And I still have
15:22A couple of inches
15:22On the top
15:23We use low profile
15:25Shower head mounts
15:26So you have tons of place
15:27And then clip ins
15:28Ever
15:29Because nobody likes
15:30Rattling
15:31When you drive
15:31Stainless steel harder
15:33All throughout
15:33And then the tiles
15:34Are really cool
15:36Clients choose these tiles
15:37They're really blue
15:38Fluted
15:39And then we went
15:40With the dark grey
15:41Ground
15:42And then
15:43This is a typical
15:44Not all shower door
15:46It actually self dry
15:48When you close it
15:48Because it has a little
15:49Scudgy in it
15:50And then you have
15:50Of course
15:51Independent controlling
15:52On the lights
15:54Let's talk about
15:55Electric
15:55Or power system
15:57So this is an
15:58EcoFlow
15:59Power
15:595 kilowatt power kit
16:01This is one of the
16:02New ones
16:02So you have
16:035 kilowatt a day
16:04Of course
16:05Power
16:05And then you have
16:06All your inputs
16:07And then you actually
16:08Have your
16:09Water system
16:10So you can see
16:10The fresh water
16:11Grey water
16:12All the sensors
16:12Are all in one place
16:14And you can see
16:15That it's set up
16:15With one 5 kilowatt
16:16Battery
16:17All the system
16:18Can be controlled
16:18From your phone
16:19So you can see
16:20What's up
16:20What's happening
16:21What's the battery system
16:22And they are set up
16:24With the starting
16:24These vents
16:25So you can actually
16:26See it all around
16:26The world
16:27Because this is
16:27Connected through
16:28The cloud
16:30Underneath it
16:30This is your
16:31Webasto heater
16:32So simplicity
16:34You know
16:34Turn the knob
16:35Select the heat
16:36And then heat on
16:37And then pretty much
16:38That's how you do it
16:39So yeah
16:41Thank you very much

17:00That you're willing
17:01To work with the customers
17:02And some of their ideas
17:03Like this customer
17:04Didn't want to
17:05Fill out the back doors
17:06Didn't want to finish them
17:07Because they have
17:08Their own idea
17:08And plan for that
17:09Exactly
17:10They didn't want to microwave
17:10Alright
17:11So if they ever
17:12Wanted to add one
17:13The compartment
17:14Is there for them
17:15And the fact
17:17That they get to pick
17:17Like the colors
17:18Of the seats
17:19And the walls
17:20And the outside
17:21It's a beautiful van
