An inspiration! So much thought and experience went into this build - no space wasted! Practical and rugged. Love the production quality/camera shots/angles and narrative. I wonder if there were any engine upgrades on this... sure seems to handle difficult terrain and I have heard the Mercedes Sprinter may be under-powered. Thanks for the video - subscribed 🙂

Like your van build...very nice.
I think the version 2 running boards make more sense as far as debris goes.
Then again they probably were not available when this video was made.

Hands down the most educational video I’ve seen to date! I’m a recent empty nester who works 100% remotely and with the kids gone, I feel like a caged rat in the house. Want to sell everything I own, take my two French bulldogs and hit the road!

Great van build - what do you use for insulation and if you use closed cell foam what peel n stick brand? We have the same size and color van as you - ours is a 2022. Txs, Michael in Canada

Great efficient van plan and build. I really enjoyed the video. However, I am new to your channel and expected to see a hidden composting toilet or other type of toilet. Thank you.

Chad, where do you take a dump ? You must have a toilet somewhere there. I usually take a dump outside where possible but I line my Thetford toilet out with compostable bin liners and wee in a bottle. But I also stay in campsites where possible
