This is the mode 4x4 by storyteller overland. it's a 4x4 campervan on the
transit chassis but they also make a version on these 4x4 Sprinter chassis so
let's go take a look at this one and check it out
the first thing to note on this van is it's 4x4 capability
they've taken a standard two-wheel drive transit van sent it over to Quigley 4x4
to have it converted so this thing can go pretty much anywhere now this is a
pretty cool feature a fold down table so that when you're outside enjoying nature
you can put your drink and just sit out here enjoy it and have a table so you
don't have to pack an extra table because we all know bands like this
don't have all that much storage space for extra stuff at the rear of the
passenger side they have thought to include two 110 outlets so you can power
your devices while you're camping on the driver side you have your water
connections this is a freshwater connection to fill your 22 gallon
freshwater tank and a city water connection for those times you do end up
at a campground and you can run your line straight up to your faucet one cool
feature they have on both sides of the van are these flares it allows you to
get more sleeping space in a narrow van they've also included a ladder which
takes you up to the roof rack where there is 90 watts of solar this is how
it leaves the factory but they do wire it so you can add up to 600 watts total
there's a 30 amp shore power connection but not like you'll really need it this
thing is an absolute beast with electricity so you can stay off-grid
almost indefinitely one thing I forgot to mention on the passenger side there
is a Dometic awning with an LED light you know what let's go inside and take a
look
this is pretty cool I have to say my favorite feature of
this van is the way they've set up the bed both sides of the bed fold up and we
kind of have it in what it would look like down and then this side folded up
they've done this because this back area can turn into a garage so if you have a
motorcycle or something like that you bring it in and they have tie-downs on
the floor where you can strap it down with the bed down you can hold up to 800
pounds and the flooring when you do bring in something like a dirt bike and
you don't want to get your flooring all screwed up they've actually thought of
that and put down a VC tile flooring this bedroom area is also six and a half
feet long so that gives even some of us taller guys plenty of room to sleep at
night because they put the flares on the outside of both sides of the van before
I make the bed let me show you another cool feature if you stow this mattress
there's a workbench here that you can use for all different types of things
Kate would use it as a stand up desk I might use it if I'm working on something
like trying to repair something on the motorcycle and I need a workstation this
would be perfect so let me show you how to make the bed the bed is held up with
these straps simply loosen the strap take it off the hook the platform comes
right down and there's another piece that slides right in for ventilation
they've added a window in the bedroom you know what let's see how comfortable
this bed actually is
plenty of space if it didn't have these flares on either side there's no way I
could sleep this direction in the bed but the flares give plenty of room for
me I'm 511 if that gives you some idea of
how long this bed is this LED light is also a Bluetooth speaker you can control
it from your phone and select all different colors so this is kind of a
party light at night when you open the door and you're camping outside so let's
talk about storage on both sides of the van they have cabinets and then there is
that giant cargo area beneath the bed with tie-downs
each cabinet has a push button lock and one interesting feature is that they've
lined all the cabinets I think this is great to keep things from rattling while
you're driving down the road before we move on there is an AC unit above my
head LED lights across the ceiling and a small microwave so we've seen the
bedroom a lot of the features but would you believe me if I told you there was a
shower and toilet in here there is let me put up the bed so we can get a good
shot of it
so here is the bathroom still don't believe me let me put it together first
step is this bench actually folds forward and then you lift up a cover to
the toilet which is also a wet bath and for that wet bath here all the shower
components this arm comes out there is a curtain that goes around and here is
your shower nozzle and here it is toilet and shower now let's check out the rest
of this camper this bench seat has two three-point harness seatbelts that have
been pool tested so you can carry two children two adults back here with you
when you go camping and when you get to the camp spot sleeping for two adults in
the back one maybe two adults on this bed or two kids let me show you how this
works this is the bench seat before it's made
it folds out using three sections this bottom section folds forward this folds
down and this folds back to make the bed you know this is actually surprisingly
comfortable and I have plenty of room I don't know if you could get two adults
on here but definitely two kids if you wanted to they also have these small
pads that go in here to kind of extend the width of the bed for you when you do
put this up this all comes up and then the bench slides back up against the
wall so you have plenty of space to walk by but the coolest feature about this
bed is it's not only a bed it's also a lounge area
so just lift this up to any angle you like keep your feet up grab a good book
glass of wine and just enjoy the view in the kitchen there is a 1500 watt
induction stovetop a stainless steel Dometic sink refrigerator and all of the
light switches there's also additional storage along with a 110 outlet at the
front of the camper van both of these chairs flip around the form kind of like
a living area with an adjustable lagoon table I really like this setup because
you can leave your bed in the back made during the day and use this as a
dedicated work area have your meals or just hang out with friends so you've got
a 4x4 camper van which means you may want to go up to some cold climates
so let's talk about the heater this uses a glycol loop in the floor that can be
heated in multiple ways the first is that there's a heat exchanger that comes
off the engine that can heat the glycol the glycol also runs through a furnace
which is either fired off of the gas from your gas tank or if you're at a
campground and you're plugged into Shore power you can heat it through
electricity and save your gas here are the brains of the operation
the control panel but most importantly the volta power system I mentioned all
of these cool items in here like the 1500 watt induction stove top that's all
powered through the lithium-ion battery system which has about 8700 usable watt
hours in it it is recharged by solar on the roof as well as an 8000 watt
secondary alternator all the power gets to the devices through a three point six
kilowatt inverter now on the passenger side is where they keep all those
batteries there is a 110 outlet along with two USB ports and a 12 volt outlet
on the driver side is the 22 gallon freshwater tank paired with a 22 gallon
grey water tank and an outdoor shower now one thing to note this is a four
season camper the water tank is inside all the water lines are inside the only
thing that is outside the van is the gray water tank but they
do heat that with a glycol loop from the heater coming from someone who misses
his garage now that we're living full-time van life I really love the
fact that this becomes like a small garage for me I can see myself putting a
dirt bike back here having a little workstation in that and then converting
it back to a bed at night okay so the part you've all been waiting for how
much does this thing cost well the story teller Overland mode 4x4
is a hundred and fifty three thousand dollars and that is for both the
Mercedes Sprinter version and me ford transit version they come equipped as is
there are no option so you get what you see I love this thing because you can
take it just about anywhere go up to the mountains go up to the snow and then use
it as your daily vehicle during the week because these are really comfortable to
drive I want to thank you guys so much for watching if you enjoyed this video
