Luxury Van Tour | Odyssey In Production

Hey guys, it's Lucas Urbiza. I'm here at Rogue Van Company in the original Odyssey, and today I'm going to take you guys in the shop and show you the vans that we currently have in production. Since all of the Odysseys at Rogue are RV certified, the process does change just a little bit. Everything is actually going to be better quality. Everything is put into the CNC machine and cut on the computer for quality control, and then just the systems are upgraded overall, and everything is going to be removable and accessible for any warranty issues that come down the line. All right, so I'm in the lot, and you can see the vans that are in queue, but let's take a look in the shop. So here we're on the production line, and this is going to be the Odyssey Lite, which is on the 144 chassis, and you can already see that we have framing, insulation, and wiring done, and we're already onto the walls for the bed lifts in the rear. Excuse the noise. We do have the CNCs running in the background. This is an active shop. There's a lot going on here. Here in the rear, this is just going to be the lounge and the bed lift area, and then in the front, we have the kitchen here, the same corner shower over here, and the closet. So right here, we have the Odyssey Lite. This is on the 144 chassis, and currently, we have already gotten framing, insulation, wires ran, and then we started doing some of the bulkhead walls. So we have the partition up, and then the walls in the rear that are going to hold the bed lift. We also got our paneling figured out. This is actual walnut, and this is a soft backer board, which is going to help reduce sound, and this is super lightweight compared to what I've done in the past, which is solid hardwood. Stepping in really quick, you can see we've also upgraded the partition material to this hex ply, and the actual garage is going to be made out of hex ply, which is insanely durable compared to the neoprene that I was doing before. There's lots of wires hanging, as you can see as well, but you can get the gist of what this is going to feel like overall. So the way that we're doing insulation in these Odysseys is actually pretty unique, and it's definitely an upgrade as well. The Havlock wool alone has a very strong R-value, but we're actually allowed to add this foam, and it creates a pocket of air, and that actually increases the R-value and the efficiency of this insulation. So that's a major upgrade that's going into all of these vans. Obviously, we have a lot of wires over here. There's a lot going on, but everything is professionally built and inspected here at Rogue Van Company, so just ignore that for a second. I'm actually here to show you this panel, and clearly this can only be done on a CNC, and this maintains the overall structure, helps with wire organization, and the biggest factor is that so much weight gets taken out of this material when you can take out all of these spots in the middle of the boards, and it looks cool, so. Now we're in the original Odyssey. This is the 170 chassis, and you can see the color of the laminate is different, and also the edge banding, and I was able to convince them to do the edge banding in this one because this was a big, big addition for them as a shop to do, but thank God we have this super clean, real walnut edge banding on all of the cabinets. Another cool addition that we're doing in these models is this piece right here. This actually is going to cover the whole bed. Normally, I just leave it open, but with their CNCs and making everything so perfect, they're able to do stuff like this and join them together in a really seamless way. Just behind the passenger seat, we also relocated the air conditioning up here, and now we have so much extra bench space for storage, and this just makes so much sense because you can still use the headliner to the left. Air conditioner is going to be here, blow through the garage, and come right out of a port to the main part high up in the van so that it can cool down the whole space. In the original Odyssey, if you remember, I have hardwood floors, and what most of our customers are doing is actually using the lawn seal vinyl plank. This is just a look at what the color is going to look like for the Odyssey specifically if you go ahead with these floors. You can see it runs the whole entire width and length of the van as a solid piece. If you ever drop any water or liquids anywhere on this floor, it'll stay in place. It doesn't have anywhere for it to go, and that's a huge advantage if you're going to put a lot of wear and tear on your van. Here I am in another Odyssey, and all of these are built to order. As you can see here, we actually have Odyssey light color scheme in the 170 Odyssey layout, so we can switch the color schemes within reason on these custom builds. This is the flooring that's in the Odyssey light put into the Odyssey, which is really cool. One of our most popular upgrades in the Odysseys are the heated floors, and here you can see we have the pipes porting out, and we're going to house all of that stuff right in here. One of the very first things we do aside from exterior upgrades is the upholstery, and one crazy thing that Rogue does in a good way is they actually sew all of these seams. I've never seen this with builders, but this is a sewed seam, and that's super clean and takes this to a whole nother level. There's also foam under here, and you're going to find that throughout the whole build. That is also in these bump outs, so all of these bump outs are professionally upholstered and as clean as you could possibly get them. Another big upgrade that was done in this specific van is this super specific pop-top tent. This is the location that we're able to fit it in the Odyssey designs, so when the bed is down, you can actually pop through into an additional fully insulated two-person tent that's on top of the room. So we have currently sold 11 Odysseys, and this one behind me here is definitely the coolest exterior-wise. This client went full blown on the exterior mods. We have 37-inch tires, we have boxes on the roof, full 360 cameras with motion lights, and these boxes, all this crazy stuff. So you can take this as far as you want, everything is possible, and any of these upgrades are up to you. Another cool thing that they do here at Rogue are the windows. So these are upgraded to awning-style windows, and you just twist this, and this is opening up your window at a tilt, and you can have it open when it's raining and still have airflow ventilating your space. I'm here with Robert, he is head of design and engineering at Rogue, and we have the CAD model up for the Odysseys. Why don't you tell us a little bit about how you made this happen? Yeah, so I worked with you, got all your dimensions from your van, and drew it up into a 3D model so that we could accurately reproduce at a very high quality model of your van. Right now we're going to take a look at the actual CAD file, and when you purchase an Odyssey through us, you're actually going to be able to see this in the beginning stages of your build, and choose between some colors and materials. That's going to be it for this video. I hope you guys enjoyed the behind-the-scenes process here at Rogue Vans with the Odysseys. If you guys want to learn more, I have the videos linked below that show you a little bit more about the original Odyssey build. If you're interested in a build of your own, feel free to contact me. I have that information below, or stop by our location here in Carlsbad, San Diego, and we can walk you through.
