Thanks for sharing. That video does a great job of highlighting many of the benefits of designing your own RV, customization.
They obviously place much emphasize on their dog’s security, leaving van unattended, having work stations, and large kitchen for a van. Plus they can haul bikes under the bed, and have all plumbing inside to prevent freezing.
The Sprinter would not be my choice for building a camper because it’s the narrowest of vans, specially as you move up towards head level where it’s much narrower than a ProMaster (Fiat Ducato). The Fiat has much more upright side walls, and is wider even down low, so makes it feel much roomier for a small van. Fiat claims to have 75% of RV market in Europe, and I expect FWD and extra width help.
It’s too bad no major OEM presently makes a much wider van. They already have plenty of length, ceiling height, and payload capacity. Extra width is what’s missing for a great compact RV.
