2023 Mercedes Sprinter AWD 170wb In early 2023, we bought a stock Mercedes Sprinter cargo van and drove it out to Titan Vans in Boulder, Colorado for a camper van build. We chose almost every option that they offered in their Ultra 170 package. When we picked up our van from Titan three months later, we were so thrilled and highly impressed by the beauty of the build. I advised Matt North, the owner, that I was going to post a really nice review. However, I quickly realized that although it was a beautiful looking modern build, I really should have used it for a while before I wrote a user review. So here we are almost a year later having been on (2) two week on- and off-road trips in the western part of the U.S, a (1) one week trip, and quite a few short day or weekend trips to now see the odometer roll past 10,000 miles. We feel like we've gotten to know the van very well, so it's time to post a review. Although we were seasoned campers, we were new to overlanding and boondocking. Ah, but no longer. I should preface my review by stating that we looked at several custom van build companies, and I initially chose Titan initially because of their YouTube videos, as we are in California and they are in Colorado. However, my instincts told me that their builds were engineered very well, and they really focused on simplicity, efficiency, durability and quality. There are unlimited van companies nowadays, and the sky is the limit as to what you want to see your build look like, not to mention a lot of DIY opportunities for those who are so inclined. Not having DIY skills, we were in the market to have someone build our van. I liked the way they built the electrical system on one side of the van and the water system on the other side of the van but, I also liked how it appeared to provide easy access to the components. Before committing to a purchase, we did travel to Boulder and took a tour of the facility to see exactly what it was we were considering. We were glad we visited them and were sold on Titan at that point. Their people and operation are very impressive. This is our third van over many years, although it's our first Sprinter and "adventure style" van. Although we are experienced campers, we previously didn't have the vehicle to get us off of paved roads. For anyone who is considering a custom adventure van build for the first time, understand that it will take you time to learn your van and all of the nuances. As much information that Titan provided us (a walk-through, manuals, follow-up emails and phone calls, videos, etc), you can't remember or know everything and you do have to actually use the equipment to learn "how" to use it - and things turn out to be much easier than what might initially be somewhat intimidating. The equipment is fairly foolproof and user friendly, although it may not appear that way at first. Titan's designs are functional. Yes, check out Instagram and you'll see hundreds and hundreds of different styles, some simple and spartan and others reflecting a luxurious living room style. For us, we wanted efficiency, durability, functionality, comfort and style, but we didn't want to worry about off-road dust, dirt or the elements. We already have a fine living room in our house and didn't need another one. Are we glad we opted for a microwave, shower, Murphy bed, upgraded stereo system, 1,000 amp hours of battery, extended range 47 gallon fuel tank, air up/down compressor, upgraded suspension and tires, Webasto diesel heater, air conditioner, refrigerator and induction stove, roof rack, awning, mobile Starlink, and exterior lighting? Oh hell yes! And there's a whole lot more in our build. And the interior LED lighting is very well thought out and effective. The exterior lighting is very impressive- turns the dark night into daylight. One could easily live in a Titan van build if one was so inclined. Bottom line: this is a very versatile and mobile adventure van and can go where most larger RV rigs can't. Is van life for everyone? Maybe not, but if you like the idea of a micro vacation home that isn't limited by a concrete foundation, then maybe this is the path for you. We're glad we chose Titan Vans. They've proved to us that it's not just about selling a van build, but standing behind their product which happens to be a real quality van build. Matt and his team were great to work with - pre and post build. Excellent customer service. Special shout out to Matt, Ryan, Tyler M, Tyler G, Chandler, and the techs and fabricators who did a fantastic job. read more

I am certain my complaint will go to death ears, and I rarely like never write bad reviews, this is my first bad review of any company. My intro to Titan was with the 1st owner of the van I bought; he gave me Titan's contact. 1st, I bought my Sprinter van in for a leak in the roof which the 1st owner said they fixed by Titan- he paid for that. I was told that they would fixed roof because he was still having issues. A light rain storm and I gave them the van back because the roof leaked. I bought it not once but twice; we had a huge storm and the full interior was soaked. The third time seems to do it. I then I wanted to upgrade to lithium batteries in an alternator to a whole system. They installed alternators, and batteries and tied solar, Battery, Solar, and city power. Good thing, as we had an extreme freeze for several days. Van all plugin, a heated blanket to keep Lithium batteries happy, and I thought it was all good. After the cold spell passed, I checked out the van out, It was completely dead. Nothing worked batteries were fully drained. I called, and now my complaint never made it past front desk. All messages relayed from the owner and mechanics came through the front desk. I was told that my battery only worked to give city power, but the city power was never set up to charge up my batteries. I was stunned, the charging system doesn't charge batteries, but the system was set up to work to charge batteries while I was driving. I called twice and wrote an email, ghosted. No answers no return calls. I took my business to Tourig in Golden Colorado. They fixed everything. Spent another 4,000 to get it fixed. I had already spent 6000 at Titan Vans to get it done wrong. I figured I would just move on and let it go. Bad experience, but now Titan after not answering emails sent me to collections for 375 dollars. I don't know which job they are asking for more money for- the incompetent roof job or the inadequate battery job. I am completely incensed and think they are not only out of line they're getting me to write a review I hope others will find helpful. I pay my bills but work with people I trust. I am now driving my van 40 mins away and have developed a great relationship with TourRig. I've done 10,000 dollars of business with them. I do not pay bills that I do not have, and extortion means just get my blood boiling. Here is a company that did a bad job three times and then I gave another chance which did not get installed correctly and cost me 4000 dollars to get someone else to fix it. Titan still hasn't answered my email------ read more

I highly recommend these guys for anything related to building out a Sprinter Van. Great work. Good guys.

Just picked up a classic build on a Mercedes Sprinter 144. Beautifully done and perfect in appearance. Drove the van 1600 miles through 3 states and 4 nights in some very extreme weather. The build performed flawlessly. There are many builders out there to choose from, and I researched many of them until I chose Titan. It was a great decision. I am extremely happy with the van, it's utilitarianism and function. These guys are very serious about that they do. read more
