real nice band tours here we have Titan
0:11
Vans there are Boulder Colorado not only
0:14
do they build Vans but they actually
0:15
build DIY kits so uh like kitchen
0:19
galleys and stuff that you guys can do
0:20
DIY put together yourself they sell
0:23
water tanks they sell you know diesel
0:25
heaters gasoline heaters and components
0:28
wash down stuff like that we're going to
0:31
hop into a van here with one of their
0:33
guys and have them show us one of their
0:35
newest builds it's gonna be the ultra
0:37
170.
0:39
um so it's gonna be a little bit on the
0:41
the uh higher end of our spectrum of
0:44
models in regards to providing that
0:47
versatility
0:48
um but also kind of a more comfortable
0:50
luxurious kind of amenities such as our
0:54
uh shower sauna over here uh you guys so
0:59
you guys are Boulder right we are yeah
1:01
yeah so this is Titan Vans at a Boulder
1:04
Colorado
1:05
I've actually used a couple of their
1:08
systems like the DOI kit so like the uh
1:10
the water tank that goes over the wheel
1:12
well uh also doing the Evo 40 heater
1:17
um what's nice about that if you buy
1:19
through them is you guys get the
1:20
warranty you do yep because the three
1:23
year warranty
1:25
um or 36 000 miles yeah because if you
1:29
buy the one that looks good the price is
1:30
good it's because it's a uh it's not a
1:33
US version so
1:35
that's possible I bought three guys yeah
1:37
no yeah that's uh you know that's
1:39
another one thing that we like to do is
1:41
keeping everything local and you and you
1:43
said you sell these seats we do yep so
1:46
these are the Friedman uh the flip up
1:49
seats what's really nice about this is
1:51
you get two additional seats but then
1:53
you can actually you know flip it up and
1:56
have this this walkway
1:59
um
1:59
okay yeah hey I do stay in the back uh
2:04
cool be your mic right yeah yeah yeah
2:07
as you can see this uh are you building
2:09
these showers in-house now what's that
2:11
the shower the actual stall
2:13
uh we are not building those currently
2:16
um in-house yeah these uh uh the
2:19
curtains however
2:20
um are uh built-in house
2:22
um you know at the moment because
2:25
we actually just shifted
2:27
um our shower design very recently
2:30
um you know it's kind of a little bit
2:31
more in the the trial and error
2:34
um uh stage but at the moment this guy
2:38
has been
2:39
um working for us really nicely so you
2:42
know so if you guys get this in the DIY
2:45
that'd be good okay noted yeah I mean
2:48
it's it's when it comes to the the
2:50
shower is always a tough challenge right
2:53
because obviously you have a lot of
2:55
[Music]
2:56
um
2:56
just uh ceiling uh quality yeah yeah
3:00
kind of requirements um but also too
3:03
just from like use
3:05
I mean I was just in a I was just
3:07
standing in a rebel uh shower uh just
3:10
yesterday and Headroom you know it
3:13
doesn't really take into I think account
3:15
the
3:16
the average populace
3:19
um you know I'm five ten and a half
3:21
um I can squeeze it here
3:24
still have room though and then
3:27
kind of do my thing yeah luckily our
3:30
founder Matt North he's uh he's 6'3 so
3:33
he kind of very tall so he puts a nice
3:36
little skew on everything I think for
3:37
the better yeah and and there's a video
3:40
online going through this video I'm
3:42
pretty sure he went through this okay
3:44
because he showed the uh the retractable
3:46
cop yeah
3:48
pops all the way out give you a little
3:51
bit more uh there's like accordion thing
3:53
going on yeah I had room
3:55
um as well
3:56
um this whole curtain is Gonna Roll Down
4:05
well I like this because it's very thick
4:07
like it's heavy so it doesn't it's not
4:10
going to suck in right you know yep and
4:13
that's zip and we also have the
4:15
additional
4:16
magnet yep which I mean who doesn't like
4:20
magnets that's perfect yeah
4:23
definitely the
4:24
the shower is uh
4:27
shower's nice man yeah show us the we'll
4:29
go around back and let's check the bed
4:30
yeah sure
4:40
yeah nice uh our bed platform here um as
4:46
well as our lower uh bed platform lower
4:49
bed platform it can also be removed I
4:52
mean if you want that additional
4:54
rail system
4:59
heck yeah
5:01
I'll show you what this guy sort of
5:03
looks like here
5:05
while he's doing that this is the uh
5:07
like the DIY water setup
5:09
so you can buy this these are really
5:11
cool this is a
5:13
this is a mixer valve but it's a nice
5:16
clean it's not that cheap RV plastic
5:18
stuff that we'll see a lot here
5:22
um so water inlet hot and cold make sure
5:25
spray down shower so it's got a little
5:27
hole pump it back in and this is your
5:30
drain so you got a three-way valve so
5:33
you can
5:36
one is drains the tank one closes off to
5:39
fill another one is winterized something
5:41
like that
5:42
okay
5:44
it's a the three-way valve it's what
5:47
fill drain and then winterize is the
5:49
correct okay
5:55
and uh yeah just some nice small tight
5:58
storage right there and then you got a
6:00
outlet above your head got a little USB
6:02
12 volt
6:08
age
6:12
oh yeah it's nice
6:16
thank you
6:32
I got the reach that's all good yeah so
6:38
you know you're going to get
6:39
um a lot of uh a lot of additional kind
6:43
of room there right
6:44
um with the lower bed platform
6:47
um usually we're kind of works out for
6:48
families quite a bit Yeah because I mean
6:51
you give the kids that friend along have
6:52
the kids down here a friend yeah that
6:54
extra jump seat makes a huge difference
6:56
yep
6:58
um that's great Yeah we actually uh I
7:01
was actually talking with uh family from
7:04
uh Seattle we have a little girl she's
7:07
inquiring about her lower back platform
7:09
so I think it's definitely a uh
7:12
part of the market that is uh looking to
7:14
be addressed
7:15
yeah because I'm thinking I'm changing
7:18
my ideas on the spec build because you
7:21
know add the additional passengers like
7:23
that seat you're talking about but then
7:24
also doing this uh look at this Murphy
7:26
bed style system it's kind of like a 50
7:28
50 Murphy bed
7:30
yeah I mean
7:32
kind of just really the bet you know
7:34
when it comes when it comes to beds you
7:36
know they're they're a necessary part of
7:38
the yeah that's the point right but you
7:40
need right it is it is the point yeah
7:43
yeah but you need to figure out where to
7:45
put them which is kind of uh you know a
7:48
bit of a challenge here so we like to
7:50
provide as many options as possible for
7:53
our someone wants to do that yeah hey
7:57
man thank you for getting the tour yeah
7:58
it's great you appreciate it all right
8:00
we'll see you guys have a good rest of
8:01
your show now thanks
