Not only do you have all the skills, carpenter, electrician, plumber. But you also have the video editing, camera work, audio. And top it off with interior design, architecture, and more. I’m blown away.
Young man, I am a 71 year old professional wood worker/ cabinet maker/ furniture maker/ builder. Not bragging, just giving background information. I am completely blown away…..but not just by your skill set, but by you! What an amazing and incredible build out. The creativity and ingenuity are second to none. The perseverance and commitment speak to your character. I love your temperament and thoroughly enjoyed you sharing your fuck up when you had to redo that kerfed plywood panel for the toilet. Not to take joy in your screw up, but to show those who don’t work with their hands the challenges faced in tactile work. You are most brilliant. Looking forward to more videos……loved your mock stealing of your sister’s couch. Best of travels.
Well said Sir & spot on! Yes indeed, a remarkable young man with a future in carpentry skills & great ideas! You don't see much of that these days anymore!!! Definitely also blown away!!! We need more young people to be this knowledgeable & innovative for a better future. He was very impressive with the way he made his project & his woodworking skills was phenomenally top notch!!! I enjoyed his video as well.
Such a well written, thoughtful and uplifting comment that you rarely find on the internet these days! We all could use kind, motivating words like these and spread positivity and encouragement.
I am a 56 year old electrician and have been in and around construction since I was a teenager. You are obviously a young man but you have the skills and the ambition of a seasoned veteran and that’s what every father would want in his son. Idk anything about your father but I can guarantee you that he was very proud to have a son like you! You did an amazing job on the van and you are an inspiration to others including myself. Thank you for sharing this with with us.
Man, you have mad skills, and I look forward to subscribing and watching and learning more. I send my condolences on the loss of your dad. He must have been so proud of you! ❤
I am 70 years old and live in Holland, MI. I wanted to tell you I think you are an exceptionally good carpenter and a talented young man. I'm very impressed with the skills you have at such a young age. Besides that your work ethic at this age is highly admirable, so many young people do not have what you have going for them. I honestly believe you will go a very long way in your lifetime if you keep this up. Don't get discouraged or EVER give up, persistence pays off. I'm very sorry you lost your dad, he was a good man if he raised a son like you.
I LOVE the supportive nature of this community - this is how it should be! OP, as others have said, your myriad skills are absolutely amazing; I'm jealous!
I couldn't agree more. May God continue to bless you in all areas of your life. My sincere condolences for your loss. I'm sure your father is very proud of you. Keep strong and carry on
So sorry to hear about your father…Being a father myself I can truly say that I would be extremely proud to have a son like you…..God bless and keep you and your family.
59 years old and building creative things my whole life, I take my hat off to you and your skill set. You are awesome! I am so sorry to hear of your Dads passing. Keep up the outstanding work your doing. Very talented.
This isn’t just a van build video. This is a technical masterpiece. From the design and craftsmanship, to the amount of camera angles with various depths of field. Blown away by the whole video and your humble presentation! So sorry for your loss 🙏.
Young man, I rarely watch entire videos, especially on YT. The content, presentation and your skill set is impressive and suggests much more than learned carpentry, electrical and project management prowess. The maturity and patience displayed in the build and presentation, the ease and confidence in communicating to your audience, the right balance of instruction and demonstration, excellent choice of background music (!), and added bonus levity between you and sis, makes this video must see for my son! Condolences to you and your family - writing as a black father, can only imagine how proud yours was of the son he raised. Looking forward to more content, perhaps with build plans that us not so skilled could substitute with Ikea or standard prefab cabinets. Godspeed!
I'm sorry you lost your dad during this build. This thing is incredible and I bet he'd be really proud of what you've created. Thank you for showing what's possible.
1.2M views in 8 days?!!! Wow, but it’s THAT GOOD. Your cuts are so precise whether cutting through wood or metal. You’re such a craftsman. I’m deeply sorry your Dad passed away. You’re far too young to have to endure that. ❤️
Sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I’ve been a professional cabinetmaker, self taught electrician, plumber, builder for decades and this video blew me away.
Sorry to hear about your dad's passing he must be proud of you. Love the van and your videos are just perfect. You show everything without it getting to long.
RIP To Your Dad Who Was Clearly An Amazing Man Who Taught His Son Many Real Life Lessons The Most important of What it is To Be a Good Hard Working Self Employed Man Making An Honest Living That’s Real Gangsta Sheet Right Their Your Old Man Was a Real One!!!! Chur Brother Keep on Making These Amazing Videos Your Dad Would Be Extremely Proud of You!!!!!
Very impressive, I have skills and have thourgh about doing a motor home, there was a tremendous amount of work done in that van. Hope you do another one but more in depth about various materials used and the wiring.
That's so hard to lose a parent, my heart goes out to you. I always enjoy your builds so much but this was spectacular, so detailed and well thought out. So many creative ideas like the coat/shoe/ trash feature really put it over the top.🏆
Sorry for your loss, I've been there, it's hard, but stay strong, You continue to amaze me every time I watch your videos, l wonder if you even know how much you're blessed by being so smart, you're the best, and you're young too, I feel like if I knew what you know, I would just stay a happy man, I want you to know that enjoy watching your stuff every time bro, Peace be with you and your family.
2:00 Excuse me, but it's terrible! He laid the floor directly on the rusty base. He did not remove the rust and did not treat the metal from corrosion with anything! This bus requires rust removal, painting and anti-corrosion treatment. And he stuck everything on rust! We don't need such a motorhome. It will rot soon. 5:15 Terrible! He did not cover the sharp edges of the metal with anything and pushed the wires into the hole! Over time, they will wear out.
This video is what I call authentic - no crazy fast editing, know over stimulating music, no forced jokes and especially no yelling. This is the type of content I need in my life ong
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Your father must have been so very proud of you, not just for finishing the van under these circumstances, but for being such a positive, creative, talented, son, brother and role model. I've been watching your builds for a while and I love the way you come up with such thoughtful, useful solutions for everything a van lifer would need. Sending you and your family condolences, prayers and blessings from the UK. Stay strong and please keep doing what you are doing. You are literally changing mindsets and lives by doing so.
I’m so sorry for your loss, but I just want to tell you that your dad and everyone of us are proud of you! We see how smart and dedicated you were when it came to fixing up your luxury van. As total strangers to you, I send love to you and your family! You are amazing!!
Alway good to put your own spin keep it up and speaking up @@annieMalaugh-vl6oy xx, Lovely name its 1:50 am atm for me in Australia Lmk if you need help figuring it all out x.
YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A MASTER CRAFTSMAN. Your skills are uncanny. I am a 63 yr old US Navy Veteran with almost 40 yrs in the residential maintenance industry as well as 6 yrs as an Interior Communication Technician. Also 2 yrs in the RV industry as a tech and I do not know how to do some of the things you do. Now granted I could easily learn but you are a very special craftsman and I bow to you in respect. Beautiful Job especially in the details.
Young King, thank you for sharing your talent with us and I am so sorry for your loss. I recently lost my youngest sister and understand how the world seems to stop for a while. 🙏🏽✝️💕
First off, sorry for the loss of your Dad. Secondly, I’ve never seen anyone so multitalented, and very humble. You are making good use of your God given gifts. I’d kill to have your skills! Many Blessings to you.
I normally never comment on YT, but I have to say that this video was exceptionally good content. A clear yet challenging goal, it wasn’t clickbait, your humble and genuine presence on camera is refreshing and your openness at the end was the clincher that made this video so great overall. Really sorry for your loss, hope your dad was able to see your talent and was proud of you. Looking forward to your future videos!
I came here to say this exact comment… I don’t usually make comments on TH-cam but I was blown away by this guys talent and skills. Not to mention the editing… ❤ had to subscribe
My heart goes out to you, losing a parent is so very very difficult. I applaud you for soldiering on with this video. Regarding the build and your videography -you-are-absolutely-amazing! 👏🏽👍🏽 I sold my Sprinter in April because once I got the insulation installed, I was completely overwhelmed. On the bright side, I did live in it full time and traveled for a year. If you had been around perhaps I would have tackled the rest. I’m certain that many people will benefit from your course. I totally agree with you the price of a build is outrageous! But with that said, quality craftsmanship carries a hefty price tag. There are a number of skills that one has to gain to build a van, and I had none. Although I no longer have a van, I’ve subscribed and will be giving you regular thumbs up. All the best to you.
I think you are creative, pay a lot of attention to detail, and overall, you are awesome. I am genuinely sorry for your loss, and I am grateful that, with all the sorrow that you have been through, you did come back and finish the van for people like me who don't have a clue how to convert a van. I just bought my van three days ago, and my budget is under 10k, including the van. As a matter of fact, I watched your videos before I even wanted a van; that's how inspirational you are to me and pretty sure to many others. You are very helpful, and I thank you for your time. Please continue to post these videos, some people out there who lost their home have now a hope that you can still live a decent life with everything that you need thanks to your shared knowledge.
This is freaking amazing. Awesome job. It’s actually much nicer than most luxury vans from the factory and your layout is better. So sorry for the loss of your father. I’m guessing from your knowledge, skills and attitude he was an amazing man.
Your father raised an amazing young man with good morals and that can be seen in the work you do and in the pride you take in what you do well done dad
Incredible craftsmanship. My 6 year old son who loves building things sat in amazement watching the video and remarked "this man is very smart I want to be like him" 💪💪
So sorry about your father, I can only imagine how proud he was of you… 🕯️ Loved your craftsmanship, ingenuity and build, and super impressed by your video edits. The whole vid flowed so well the time seemed to go by quickly because of it ~ hoping to see the final finished version as well as your sisters new couch ☝🏽
First time watching. Your dad had to be such a proud man, to have such great kids. A lot of hours, patience and knowledge went into this build. You could actually start a company and bring affordable mobile housing to a population that cannot afford property and homes anymore. Pleasure to watch you in action. Great that you are kind enough to share your skills with everyone. Best of everything to you and your family. MJK
If you did not want to start your own company, you could definitely mentor others who would love to. Especially if you taught them in person and recorded it for your TH-cam channel. I have a 23-year-old son who would greatly appreciate being your student. We would be able to make a difference in so many people's lives with your help.
Am a first time viewer of your work and Am in awe of your considerable, multiple talents and skills… watching your work I could not help wish I had had someone of your talent to learn from and develop into a skilled artisan like yourself. You’re an inspiration and I wish you great health and a long that you’ll be able to impart your knowledge to others. Prosper young man; you make é proud !
So sorry to hear that you lost your Dad. Good to see you getting back to your videos. Love what you have done with the van. I look forward to seeing more videos soon.
What a pure delight to see you work. You’re not a handyman, but a skilled, knowledgeable, talented young man. And you can sew. So sorry that you lost your dad. I hope he’s left powerful memories with you. Also you’re an INSPIRATION
I have never seen anyone with as many skills as you. You are an architect, designer, carpenter, electrician, woodworker. You are inspiring to anyone young and old. My goodness! You’re amazing! You could charge $50k or more for all the work you did! Great job!❤❤❤
First, our condolences on losing your dad, who undoubtedly was instrumental in building your skill set. Everything you build is exceptional, including your arsenal of tools. The van looks amazing -- you're amazing! Great job, Dual 👏
Thank you for showing that you can build on a budget! Your skills and willingness to help teach others is amazing! Anniversaries are tough. Blessings and prayers!!
I am so impressed that you literally know how to do EVERYTHING! Electricity, plumbing, custom cabinet making…. And then video editing to capture it all. It’s shocking how one person can be so smart and capable of doing everything!
No offense but did you finish the video? He lost his dad halfway through the build, you see him play with his dog, visiting his sister. How is this “away from distractions”? Because to me it seems he is more in the middle of life than a person can be. Also…. If you ever feel the need to start a sentence like that again maybe it is a sign to not say it.
@@TruPunx89 1. Editing is a thing 2. The point of the commenter was convince others that although this man is amazing you could do similar amazing things with focus ...
The van is Uber luxurious! While you built it for $10k you displayed skills acquired over a lifetime that are beyond value. I’m sure you make your father proud every day through your display of all the work he put into you.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your father!! Prayers for the family. 🙏🏾 Your talents are phenomenal!! The skills you possess are so impressive. Keep up the great work.
Dude, As a lifetime custom cabinet builder, NICE JOB! So sorry to hear about your father's passing, those events impact everyone, condolences to you and your family! Keep building! I think a series of how to video's would be very valuable to those who want to learn the skills that you clearly have!! Great Job Again! Cheers!
I’m 70 years young and have seen the work of many fine artisans & builds over the years. I’m so happy to see that there are young people like yourself carrying the resourceful, creative torch forward and developing your mastery in many directions. You are a wonderfully, inspiring influence and your life will be fulfilling. I wish you all the best experiences and the best of love.
My deepest condolences for the loss of your Dad . Kudos to you producing a video with such beautiful design and quality. That van is an absolute credit to your skills, imagination and talent. It's a work of art which anyone would be proud to own. You are quite simply amazing!!!! Much respect- Kenny
So sorry your dad departed. May you and family receive comfort. You are very talented. It was a pleasure watching your work. You definitely should be teaching others.
Sorry for the loss of your father. You are immensely talented. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the transformation you created. Wishing you all the best from a fellow Pennsylvanian!
Bro what can’t you do? Architect, interior designer, welder, carpenter, electrician, plumber, HVAC, painter, filmmaker, seamstress, and probably more. And you’re super resourceful. Finding a working tv destined for the trash heap took me out lol. I like doing DIY projects but watching this made me realize there’s levels to this that I haven’t even scratched. Makes me wish I did the military and learned a trade first before going to college. I’m still willing to learn so I would be interested in one of your courses. Your craftsmanship, creativity, and level of detail is really amazing!
Condolences on your dad! I've done plumbing, electrical, and worked in a custom cabinet shop for awhile, so can appreciate the level of skills you have developed. I'm sure your dad was proud of you! 🙏
Big love to you while you navigate the feelings of the loss of your dad. I lost my mom this year, so deep empathy. Put me in a tailspin too. What a great job he did bc you turned out great! Amazing build, brother. Many blessings to you!
Engineer here, amazing! Clearly this was not your first time however the patience and all other skills is impeccable. Sorry for your loss, I believe he is a proud father!
My condolences on the loss of your father❤🙏🏾. Your building & designing skills amaze me every time. You're so right about these camper van prices! From what some purchasers are saying, their workmanship is not comparable to their prices. Great job D!
My condolences on the passing of your dad. I was impressed at the amount of skills you have, not only the electrical and plumbing, but also your sewing ability. Great video! Always wished I could go what you do. Raising 5 children took priority. I'm old now and can barely use my hands anymore. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us. God bless you.
What a pure delight to see you work. You’re not a handyman, but a skilled, knowledgeable, talented young man. And you can sew. So sorry that you lost your dad. I hope he’s left powerful memories with you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This now is one of my favourite videos in 15 years on this platform. Absolutely mind blowing. I am not sure if there is anything more pleasing to watch than a man, who passionately building something with his own hands and smart financial management. Shaking your hand through the screen, man. Best wishes to you and your family.
As a master carpenter/plumber/electrician, I am amazed. The work you put into this van is undeniably the most brilliant art I have ever seen. It would have been an honor to have you as a student/learner in these crafts. God bless you for your time and effort.
First off, deepest condolences to you and your family. Lost of a loved one is never easy. Towards the end of the video when you explained some finishing needs to be done etc, I could see how challenging it was for you to complete this build with all other family challenges going on. Thank you for completing this build, I’ve been following your content since almost day one when you were cutting wood and designing in your apartment in VA. You my friend have grown so much, your experience truly shows in your work. Take some well needed time for you and your family. We’re not going anywhere, when you decide to put a course or some kind of training together just let us(your followers) know. Wish you the best and continue to stay positive and grow. Vet to Vet, Salute my brother..💪🏽🙏🏽
Awesome van! I love watching your builds. I turn 59 in September, and am attempting my own build in a 24 passenger (with luggage compartment) build. You give me courage to try. I’m so sorry about the loss of your Dad. You did him proud, to be accomplished, talented and to help others…it’s everything a parent could hope for. My prayers are with you and your family.
What a awesome job I’m impressed with your skills I just finished a cargo to camper build though I did a great job but you blew mine out of the water love the way you made the shower door totally amazing I hope you don’t mind me using your ideas again great job
Smooth, professional editing, comfortable video length, remarkable build, boundless ingenuity. Excenllent work, DualEx, and my condolences. Any parent would be proud to have a son so self-sufficient and proficient in his craft; may your father rest peacefully knowing his son is a success.
I just bumped into this video and watched it with awe 😲. It is so mesmerazing to watch your work and how skillful you are. Wow! I don't have a camper van and I don't know if I ever will, but I like to watch this kind of videos and admire how little spaces turn into cozy and functional travel homes.
I've been building homes as a master carpenter and contractor. You my brother definately not only have skills but the talent. Great job. And my condolences for your loss.
I am absolutely blown away. Wiring, Plumbing, Woodworking, video editing. Is there anything you cant do? Very impressive build man. I am looking to do the same thing. I've watched a few of these conversion videos and yours stands neck and shoulders above the rest. Subbed!
A breath of fresh air, someone showing how to do things on a limited budget and not trying to rip anyone off, well done and thank you man from across the pond in the U.K. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
The vehicle has a "drive train & suspension" system. That's rated for the weight/height of the vehicle for operation safely at speeds on a road. Motorhome manufacturers know this. Make sure you understand what you are building on. What the engine and transmission..front, and expecially rear axle weight is rated for. Otherwise, you are a disaster on the road to yourself and those driving on the road around you. Like taking a fiat, take the tires off. Replace them all around with some 4 year old's bicycle tires, take the front and back forks, with a bicycle brake system, slap it on as the car's suspension system, and expect the fiat to run right at 55mph. This is a decorative clown video so who created it on youtube makes money off of it.
Artist, engineer, architect, carpenter (dovetails, seriously dope), electrician, plumber, HVAC, what did I leave out? Oh yeah, filmmaker, and more. So impressive. Thanks for this video, it's been too long! ETA...aware of your loss now, sincere condolences.
Dude! I'm a 68 year old grandmother! I've loved your video. My dad was a carpenter. I've watched him build hundreds of cabinets. You have crazy skills. Your work is beautiful. I'll be watching all your videos. I'm sorry for loss. Time is the only healer I know of tho. Treasure your sister. I loved mine dearly. Take care, have fun and thanks for sharing!
What more can be added to the comments, except many👍 !!! You’re just a great example of resourcefulness and determination-an overcomer, nothing is so formidable that you won’t take it on. Plus, you’re willing to share and give a hand up-WOW ! (and that’s no exaggeration).
Very impressed with your skills. Love how you don’t just skimp on your corners. Everything is complete and done correctly, not just nailed together. Beautiful work!!! I’m so very sorry for the loss of your Dad. ❤️
Your build style is very distinct and super practical! Condolences for your loss. I was wondering why you haven't posted in a while. Your videos are a huge inspiration for the DIY community!
First, sorry for the loss of your father. You are so incredibly talented! That build was pure entertainment to watch! I wish I had the skill level to do this! I’m definitely inspired by your work!!
I am so sorry for your family loss. Your dad has a great legacy of amazing skills that i am glad you have shared. It's a rare pleasure to see a young black man who has honed such incredible abilities and willingness to educate others. Watching this has brought back so many memories of my dad's trademanship. I pray that your family's hearts will heal as rejoice due to your days spent with yours. Thank you. I look forward to more.
First of all- my deepest condolences on the loss of your father. I’m keeping you and your family in my thoughts & prayers. Second- all of your van builds absolutely rock! Keep the vids coming please! BTW- I’m a 54 year old veteran teacher (taught 21+ years) and I’m learning everyday, so thank you!
Man you had all 100% of my attention for this whole video. You have no idea how much I learned just by watching this !! Your carpentry skills are bonkers lol I’m building my first van and there’s so much mystery and anxiety. But you just Str8up blasted thru this thing and created a hand made masterpiece!!!! So inspired by your hard work and my heart goes out to you brother. I can’t imagine the pain you must be in. Keep up the awesome content man!! Much love.
Ps: I do have a question though. I tried finding it in your videos, but I’m doing a similar set up with an ecoflow delta pro. I can’t for the life of me figure out to wire/ incorporate it into my build. Any videos of your I might of passed up ?? Thanks man !
First, my prayers go out to you and your family. It’s hard to recuperate after the loss of a parent. Second, your skills are so incredible. What you did to this van proves YOU can build for under $10,000. Not everyone can do what you do! Please don’t sell yourself short. Good luck with whatever you’re able to do in the future with teaching/sharing your talents. I enjoy watching your videos.
Young man. I'm blown away with your impressive skills, creativity, courage, willingness to help others and the good ethic of showing detailes even the fails. I'm sorry for your lost and I'm sure your father was a great one to give a birth to such a great son like you. Keep up the good work.
The most multi-talented person I have ever seen work! So many different skills in one. Your Dad must be looking down at you with a big smile! Stay strong!
This was THE best build video I’ve ever seen! The editing was smooth, music on point, and the content was exemplary! Keep doing what you do. My condolences for your Father's passing.
You sir are a master builder. You will be building my van. God bless and keep you. Stay safe. Thanks for sharing your builds. They’re unmatched! They’re beautifully built, economical and affordable! Thanks!
You’re an absolute phenomenon, a super artistic craftsman and design genius. Also your moral statement and tech skills, the way you edit your videos, is fabulous. So sorry to hear about the passing of your father. RIP to a great man who gave the world great children. I hope you have a lot of sponsors and opportunities flooding in because you’re the top tier in this industry, and very humble. Your father must’ve been so incredibly proud of you. What about doing a segment about his impact on you and who he was? I’d love to see it. You have a lovely sister too. Haven’t seen your Mom, I’m new to your channel.
BRILLIANTLY done my friend and EVERYTHING you said about van pricing is spot on. It's like no one has any sense of value anymore. My deepest condolences and prayers for your father's passing. I went through it years ago and it's life-altering. Keep putting your amazing talent out there bro - you have a gift!
Condolences on the passing of your Dad. You are so talented. You can do anything. You can make it work. Thanks for the video. You do beautiful work. God bless
I love your philosophy on making van conversions more affordable and accessable to more people who dont have the budget for a six figure luxury van. Hopefully more people will be inspired to try the diy route b/c of your videos. I would love to see you expand into more in-depth tutorials on specific design and build projects as well as courses on repurposing a vehicle start to finish. And definitely starting a Patreon as your work is amazing and helpful to so many people and you deserve some monetary compensation for sharing your expertise, talent and hard work. I'm currently caring for my elderly mom who has dementia so living in a van isn't right for me at this time, but someday maybe. My heart goes out to you after your father's passing. You are a fine young man and I'm sure he's very proud.
Loved this video. Was my favourite and I have watched a lot of van life videos. Being a full time van lifer with kids… we are always looking for creative ways to store things… you are seriously talented the video editing was amazing, your carpenter skills are just next level. But to design and build a van like this is just down right impressive. You are humble and I am sorry for your loss, just keep going knowing your father is still with you in your heart, you should be incredibly proud of yourself To keep going amidst so many trials. I wish you nothing but success and seems everyone else agrees. It’s Your time to shine and show the world your talents ❤
Sorry to hear about your dad. He must have been quite an amazing influence in your life. I have never seen a person so skilled do a build with such complexity. I am completely blown away that someone your age is so talented and focused. Your family must be incredibly proud of your accomplishments! The question I have is how many hours did you put into the build? Lastly, what State are you in? Way to go DualEx, that build is amazing
First, I’m so sorry for your loss losing a parent is tough. Second, you are the most incredible builder I’ve ever seen you can do it all. The world needs more people with your skill set and the world would be a much better place. Keep going with your plans and I can’t wait to see what you do next!
You are a true craftsman. A man with vision, skills, artistry, and great workmanship. Well done, truly. I’m sorry for your family’s loss, he must have been so proud of you.
Well done, young man. My husband & I are in awh. We have a '68 VW bus & camp alot, but we are ready for an upgrade to the camper van. The cost at this point was prohibitive, but you have inspired us. Thank you for your post. My sympathies to you & your family. I hope you are doing well.
It’s not often I watch an entire video without forwarding or losing interest, but I enjoyed every second of this one. You have a gift for blending many different skills and thank you for passing them on to others and showing them it doesn’t take a ton of money to get something you really want. Keep it up. Also, knowing how devastating it is to lose a father myself, I commend you for continuing the build and hopefully every time you see it, you have fond memories of him.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your father. You have really impressed me with this latest build. Your skills have grown immensely and your attention to detail is amazing. Keep up the good work!
Dude, your van project is simply incredible! I'm inspired by your determination, especially considering your father's passing. Sharing this with us is a generous move. Creating a Patreon account is brilliant - your knowledge and creativity deserve support. Thanks for the awesome video and inspiration. Best of luck!
This is maybe the most amazing video I've seen on TH-cam. Others here have commented about the skills and creativity you demonstrated in the buildout of van and in the making of this video, but here is what I saw: skilled carpenter, joiner, electrician, plumber, creative and highly skilled videographer, interior designer, architect, skilled negotiator (with your sister for the cushion from her sofa), scrounger (for materials and components), seamster (male version of seamstress?) and all around cool guy. I loved the chill music in the background and the epilogue in which you discussed your ideas for an educational course. I live in Japan, and I see a lot of the skills and attention to detail (especially in the woodwork) you demonstrated in the work of Japanese craftsmen. I will happily subscribe and follow you, my man! Keep up the excellent work.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Man I’m impressed at how you can just turn your hand to anything and even build everything from scratch, you have a talent. You attention to detail shows and pays off. Massive well done and can’t wait to see the finished van
Would like to start off by letting you know that you are a remarkable young man. I have to say you are very talented with ideas of your own. Other builds I have watched, they just go buy everything they need. I love the theme you created inside the van. Absolutely beautiful. I am blown away with how the van turned out. Sorry to hear about your dad. He must of been a great man and I am sure he will be missed. Thank you for sharing this build with all of us and looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Not only do you have all the skills, carpenter, electrician, plumber. But you also have the video editing, camera work, audio. And top it off with interior design, architecture, and more. I’m blown away.
Also, he has sewing machine skills!❤️🤎🖤
My sympathy to all of your family. I know your father would be proud of the direction your life is taking.
I know, it's incredible. This is pretty much what I was about to comment.
This person has serious SKILLZ!! Outliers are great! *Tools and Skill/Knowledge not included in the price.
Absolutely 💯
Young man, I am a 71 year old professional wood worker/ cabinet maker/ furniture maker/ builder. Not bragging, just giving background information. I am completely blown away…..but not just by your skill set, but by you! What an amazing and incredible build out. The creativity and ingenuity are second to none. The perseverance and commitment speak to your character. I love your temperament and thoroughly enjoyed you sharing your fuck up when you had to redo that kerfed plywood panel for the toilet. Not to take joy in your screw up, but to show those who don’t work with their hands the challenges faced in tactile work. You are most brilliant. Looking forward to more videos……loved your mock stealing of your sister’s couch. Best of travels.
You blew my socks off Young Man. Your Daddy would of been proud. ❤😊
I appreciate your post brother.🙏 He deserves hearing it. Thanks, I enjoyed reading it, and I concur, wholeheartedly.👍
Well said Sir & spot on! Yes indeed, a remarkable young man with a future in carpentry skills & great ideas! You don't see much of that these days anymore!!! Definitely also blown away!!! We need more young people to be this knowledgeable & innovative for a better future. He was very impressive with the way he made his project & his woodworking skills was phenomenally top notch!!! I enjoyed his video as well.
Such a well written, thoughtful and uplifting comment that you rarely find on the internet these days! We all could use kind, motivating words like these and spread positivity and encouragement.
I'm blown away. You're very talented. Stay strong, bro 🙏🏿🙏🏿
I am a 56 year old electrician and have been in and around construction since I was a teenager. You are obviously a young man but you have the skills and the ambition of a seasoned veteran and that’s what every father would want in his son. Idk anything about your father but I can guarantee you that he was very proud to have a son like you! You did an amazing job on the van and you are an inspiration to others including myself. Thank you for sharing this with with us.
bro is one wholesome indiviual
I couldn't of said it any better and that is the absolute truth.
I could not have said it any other way
Man, you have mad skills, and I look forward to subscribing and watching and learning more. I send my condolences on the loss of your dad. He must have been so proud of you! ❤
Absolutely love the custom wood grain toilet! Watching your projects come "alive" makes me want to start doing van life!
This guy is “the man”!! The ultimate role model!!! The world would be such a better place with more people like this guy!!!
I am 70 years old and live in Holland, MI. I wanted to tell you I think you are an exceptionally good carpenter and a talented young man. I'm very impressed with the skills you have at such a young age. Besides that your work ethic at this age is highly admirable, so many young people do not have what you have going for them. I honestly believe you will go a very long way in your lifetime if you keep this up. Don't get discouraged or EVER give up, persistence pays off. I'm very sorry you lost your dad, he was a good man if he raised a son like you.
I LOVE the supportive nature of this community - this is how it should be! OP, as others have said, your myriad skills are absolutely amazing; I'm jealous!
I couldn't agree more. May God continue to bless you in all areas of your life. My sincere condolences for your loss. I'm sure your father is very proud of you. Keep strong and carry on
❤
Amazing
Renaissance Man! So many skills and ingenuity in this build. May this man continue such a productive life as a true artist. Be excellent always!
So sorry to hear about your father…Being a father myself I can truly say that I would be extremely proud to have a son like you…..God bless and keep you and your family.
aw thats really sweet to say. God bless you and your family man
I watched you fascinated, as if the video were a magic performance.
37:28 handles it like a champ.
❤Praying for you and your family❤ and the loss of your father❤
Carpenter, electrician, plumber, video editor, and you even sew! You are a very skilled and creative young man. You will go far in life.
Yes, sewing! A great skill to have first anyone!
One of the best DIY van conversions I’ve seen. Please post more. Thank you.
As a father myself, I know how proud you made him. Your work is on another level and your video making skills are as good. Onwards and upwards
You air are amazing when it comes to van conversions 😎
The man is dead, he can’t feel physically or emotionally… Ecclesiastes 9:5 But I get what you’re saying.
59 years old and building creative things my whole life, I take my hat off to you and your skill set. You are awesome! I am so sorry to hear of your Dads passing. Keep up the outstanding work your doing. Very talented.
This isn’t just a van build video. This is a technical masterpiece. From the design and craftsmanship, to the amount of camera angles with various depths of field. Blown away by the whole video and your humble presentation! So sorry for your loss 🙏.
Dude i know right! Skillful as fuck!
Young man, I rarely watch entire videos, especially on YT. The content, presentation and your skill set is impressive and suggests much more than learned carpentry, electrical and project management prowess. The maturity and patience displayed in the build and presentation, the ease and confidence in communicating to your audience, the right balance of instruction and demonstration, excellent choice of background music (!), and added bonus levity between you and sis, makes this video must see for my son! Condolences to you and your family - writing as a black father, can only imagine how proud yours was of the son he raised. Looking forward to more content, perhaps with build plans that us not so skilled could substitute with Ikea or standard prefab cabinets.
Godspeed!
So sorry for the loss of your dad. This van build is a such an incredible display of skill and creativity.
I'm sorry you lost your dad during this build. This thing is incredible and I bet he'd be really proud of what you've created. Thank you for showing what's possible.
1.2M views in 8 days?!!! Wow, but it’s THAT GOOD. Your cuts are so precise whether cutting through wood or metal. You’re such a craftsman.
I’m deeply sorry your Dad passed away. You’re far too young to have to endure that. ❤️
This brother hooks these vans up.
I m a contractor with 40 years experience and I'm humbled by your skill and imagination. Keep it up and thanks.
Sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I’ve been a professional cabinetmaker, self taught electrician, plumber, builder for decades and this video blew me away.
Sorry to hear about your dad's passing he must be proud of you. Love the van and your videos are just perfect. You show everything without it getting to long.
RIP To Your Dad Who Was Clearly An Amazing Man Who Taught His Son Many Real Life Lessons The Most important of What it is To Be a Good Hard Working Self Employed Man Making An Honest Living That’s Real Gangsta Sheet Right Their Your Old Man Was a Real One!!!! Chur Brother Keep on Making These Amazing Videos Your Dad Would Be Extremely Proud of You!!!!!
Very impressive, I have skills and have thourgh about doing a motor home, there was a tremendous amount of work done in that van. Hope you do another one but more in depth about various materials used and the wiring.
That's so hard to lose a parent, my heart goes out to you. I always enjoy your builds so much but this was spectacular, so detailed and well thought out. So many creative ideas like the coat/shoe/ trash feature really put it over the top.🏆
I enjoy watching him work. He makes it look so easy, but I know better.
@@USMC6976 So true 👍
So sorry for your loss ❤ miracles and blessings to you and your family ❤
Sorry for your loss, I've been there, it's hard, but stay strong, You continue to amaze me every time I watch your videos, l wonder if you even know how much you're blessed by being so smart, you're the best, and you're young too, I feel like if I knew what you know, I would just stay a happy man, I want you to know that enjoy watching your stuff every time bro, Peace be with you and your family.
2:00 Excuse me, but it's terrible! He laid the floor directly on the rusty base. He did not remove the rust and did not treat the metal from corrosion with anything! This bus requires rust removal, painting and anti-corrosion treatment. And he stuck everything on rust! We don't need such a motorhome. It will rot soon.
5:15 Terrible! He did not cover the sharp edges of the metal with anything and pushed the wires into the hole! Over time, they will wear out.
This video is what I call authentic - no crazy fast editing, know over stimulating music, no forced jokes and especially no yelling. This is the type of content I need in my life ong

ay don't put things on god bro
YOU ARE AMAZING. I been watching your van rebuilt for weeks. I love for you to rebuild one for me if possible.
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Your father must have been so very proud of you, not just for finishing the van under these circumstances, but for being such a positive, creative, talented, son, brother and role model. I've been watching your builds for a while and I love the way you come up with such thoughtful, useful solutions for everything a van lifer would need. Sending you and your family condolences, prayers and blessings from the UK. Stay strong and please keep doing what you are doing. You are literally changing mindsets and lives by doing so.
I’m so sorry for your loss, but I just want to tell you that your dad and everyone of us are proud of you! We see how smart and dedicated you were when it came to fixing up your luxury van. As total strangers to you, I send love to you and your family! You are amazing!!
I didn't see your comment before adding my own. Yours is so elegantly written.
Sorry to hear about your dad. I have very limited carpentry skill, and would like to see if i can complete a project like tis my self
Yes indeed 🙏🏿
My condolences on the passing of your Father 🙏🏼🕊️
Alway good to put your own spin keep it up and speaking up @@annieMalaugh-vl6oy xx, Lovely name its 1:50 am atm for me in Australia Lmk if you need help figuring it all out x.
YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A MASTER CRAFTSMAN. Your skills are uncanny. I am a 63 yr old US Navy Veteran with almost 40 yrs in the residential maintenance industry as well as 6 yrs as an Interior Communication Technician. Also 2 yrs in the RV industry as a tech and I do not know how to do some of the things you do. Now granted I could easily learn but you are a very special craftsman and I bow to you in respect.
Beautiful Job especially in the details.
Young King, thank you for sharing your talent with us and I am so sorry for your loss. I recently lost my youngest sister and understand how the world seems to stop for a while. 🙏🏽✝️💕
He is definitely an extremely gifted craftsman. And I'm a fellow Navy veteran. Thank you for your service Brother!🥃
God bless you both@@sheilapatrick700
Amazing fantastic use of materials, you should start a class.Sorry to hear about your Dad.
First off, sorry for the loss of your Dad. Secondly, I’ve never seen anyone so multitalented, and very humble. You are making good use of your God given gifts. I’d kill to have your skills! Many Blessings to you.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad. This van build is amazing - you are so very talented, creative, and skilled!
I normally never comment on YT, but I have to say that this video was exceptionally good content. A clear yet challenging goal, it wasn’t clickbait, your humble and genuine presence on camera is refreshing and your openness at the end was the clincher that made this video so great overall. Really sorry for your loss, hope your dad was able to see your talent and was proud of you. Looking forward to your future videos!
I came here to say this exact comment… I don’t usually make comments on TH-cam but I was blown away by this guys talent and skills. Not to mention the editing… ❤ had to subscribe
I’m sure your father was and is EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOU!!! So much talent in one person!
Agreed.🙏
My heart goes out to you, losing a parent is so very very difficult. I applaud you for soldiering on with this video. Regarding the build and your videography -you-are-absolutely-amazing! 👏🏽👍🏽
I sold my Sprinter in April because once I got the insulation installed, I was completely overwhelmed. On the bright side, I did live in it full time and traveled for a year. If you had been around perhaps I would have tackled the rest. I’m certain that many people will benefit from your course. I totally agree with you the price of a build is outrageous! But with that said, quality craftsmanship carries a hefty price tag. There are a number of skills that one has to gain to build a van, and I had none. Although I no longer have a van, I’ve subscribed and will be giving you regular thumbs up. All the best to you.
Sorry about your father man but trust me he is in heaven smiling his butt off full of Pride for you tell your sister we said hi too
I think you are creative, pay a lot of attention to detail, and overall, you are awesome. I am genuinely sorry for your loss, and I am grateful that, with all the sorrow that you have been through, you did come back and finish the van for people like me who don't have a clue how to convert a van. I just bought my van three days ago, and my budget is under 10k, including the van. As a matter of fact, I watched your videos before I even wanted a van; that's how inspirational you are to me and pretty sure to many others. You are very helpful, and I thank you for your time. Please continue to post these videos, some people out there who lost their home have now a hope that you can still live a decent life with everything that you need thanks to your shared knowledge.
This is freaking amazing. Awesome job. It’s actually much nicer than most luxury vans from the factory and your layout is better. So sorry for the loss of your father. I’m guessing from your knowledge, skills and attitude he was an amazing man.
You're are truly talented, beautiful work 😍😍😍
This is amazing, your so talented!
Your father raised an amazing young man with good morals and that can be seen in the work you do and in the pride you take in what you do well done dad
Incredible craftsmanship. My 6 year old son who loves building things sat in amazement watching the video and remarked "this man is very smart I want to be like him" 💪💪
Great! I'm 66 and I want to be just like him too!
He's only 6y.o. Wow you have a genius lil son. Soon to be a great builder of things
AWWWWWWW
Very wise youngster. 😊
You have some mad skills. Just ran across your videos now I'm hooked. Your Dad must have been very proud of you. So sorry for your loss.
So sorry about your father, I can only imagine how proud he was of you… 🕯️
Loved your craftsmanship, ingenuity and build, and super impressed by your video edits.
The whole vid flowed so well the time seemed to go by quickly because of it ~ hoping to see the final finished version as well as your sisters new couch ☝🏽
First time watching. Your dad had to be such a proud man, to have such great kids. A lot of hours, patience and knowledge went into this build. You could actually start a company and bring affordable mobile housing to a population that cannot afford property and homes anymore. Pleasure to watch you in action. Great that you are kind enough to share your skills with everyone. Best of everything to you and your family. MJK
If you did not want to start your own company, you could definitely mentor others who would love to. Especially if you taught them in person and recorded it for your TH-cam channel. I have a 23-year-old son who would greatly appreciate being your student. We would be able to make a difference in so many people's lives with your help.
Am a first time viewer of your work and Am in awe of your considerable, multiple talents and skills… watching your work I could not help wish I had had someone of your talent to learn from and develop into a skilled artisan like yourself. You’re an inspiration and I wish you great health and a long that you’ll be able to impart your knowledge to others. Prosper young man; you make é proud !
So sorry to hear that you lost your Dad. Good to see you getting back to your videos. Love what you have done with the van. I look forward to seeing more videos soon.
Sorry for your Loss🙏🏿❤
What a pure delight to see you work. You’re not a handyman, but a skilled, knowledgeable, talented young man. And you can sew. So sorry that you lost your dad. I hope he’s left powerful memories with you. Also you’re an INSPIRATION
I have never seen anyone with as many skills as you. You are an architect, designer, carpenter, electrician, woodworker. You are inspiring to anyone young and old. My goodness! You’re amazing! You could charge $50k or more for all the work you did! Great job!❤❤❤
Don’t forget the editing and camera skills
Truly talented
Sorry for the loss. Glad you finished the job regardless. You're a true inspiration and your father would be extremely proud of your accomplishments.
@@Blancodarestostfu please never talk again
@@Blancodaresto what?
First, our condolences on losing your dad, who undoubtedly was instrumental in building your skill set. Everything you build is exceptional, including your arsenal of tools. The van looks amazing -- you're amazing! Great job, Dual 👏
Thank you for showing that you can build on a budget! Your skills and willingness to help teach others is amazing! Anniversaries are tough. Blessings and prayers!!
I am so impressed that you literally know how to do EVERYTHING! Electricity, plumbing, custom cabinet making…. And then video editing to capture it all. It’s shocking how one person can be so smart and capable of doing everything!
No hate because he extremely talented but you’ll be surprised what you can do away from distractions and you forgot to add mechanic 😂😂😂
No offense but did you finish the video? He lost his dad halfway through the build, you see him play with his dog, visiting his sister. How is this “away from distractions”? Because to me it seems he is more in the middle of life than a person can be.
Also…. If you ever feel the need to start a sentence like that again maybe it is a sign to not say it.
@@TruPunx89 1. Editing is a thing
2. The point of the commenter was convince others that although this man is amazing you could do similar amazing things with focus ...
Insulation?
You are incredibly talented! Electrician, plumber, carpenter, sewing!! You do it all! I imagine your dad was incredibly proud of you!
Was? Has his father passed away? Did his father teach him all these skills?✌🏽🙏🏾
@@tubenika 37:22
@@tubenikaHe states at the end of the video that his father passed away during this build. ☹️😢
The van is Uber luxurious! While you built it for $10k you displayed skills acquired over a lifetime that are beyond value. I’m sure you make your father proud every day through your display of all the work he put into you.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your father!! Prayers for the family. 🙏🏾 Your talents are phenomenal!! The skills you possess are so impressive. Keep up the great work.
Dude, As a lifetime custom cabinet builder, NICE JOB! So sorry to hear about your father's passing, those events impact everyone, condolences to you and your family! Keep building! I think a series of how to video's would be very valuable to those who want to learn the skills that you clearly have!! Great Job Again! Cheers!
I’m 70 years young and have seen the work of many fine artisans & builds over the years. I’m so happy to see that there are young people like yourself carrying the resourceful, creative torch forward and developing your mastery in many directions. You are a wonderfully, inspiring influence and your life will be fulfilling. I wish you all the best experiences and the best of love.

My deepest condolences for the loss of your Dad . Kudos to you producing a video with such beautiful design and quality. That van is an absolute credit to your skills, imagination and talent. It's a work of art which anyone would be proud to own. You are quite simply amazing!!!! Much respect- Kenny
So sorry your dad departed. May you and family receive comfort. You are very talented. It was a pleasure watching your work. You definitely should be teaching others.
Sorry for the loss of your father.
You are immensely talented. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the transformation you created. Wishing you all the best from a fellow Pennsylvanian!
Bro what can’t you do? Architect, interior designer, welder, carpenter, electrician, plumber, HVAC, painter, filmmaker, seamstress, and probably more. And you’re super resourceful. Finding a working tv destined for the trash heap took me out lol. I like doing DIY projects but watching this made me realize there’s levels to this that I haven’t even scratched. Makes me wish I did the military and learned a trade first before going to college. I’m still willing to learn so I would be interested in one of your courses. Your craftsmanship, creativity, and level of detail is really amazing!
Condolences on your dad! I've done plumbing, electrical, and worked in a custom cabinet shop for awhile, so can appreciate the level of skills you have developed. I'm sure your dad was proud of you! 🙏
Big love to you while you navigate the feelings of the loss of your dad. I lost my mom this year, so deep empathy. Put me in a tailspin too.
What a great job he did bc you turned out great!
Amazing build, brother. Many blessings to you!
Engineer here, amazing! Clearly this was not your first time however the patience and all other skills is impeccable. Sorry for your loss, I believe he is a proud father!
My condolences on the loss of your father❤🙏🏾. Your building & designing skills amaze me every time. You're so right about these camper van prices! From what some purchasers are saying, their workmanship is not comparable to their prices. Great job D!
My condolences on the passing of your dad. I was impressed at the amount of skills you have, not only the electrical and plumbing, but also your sewing ability. Great video! Always wished I could go what you do. Raising 5 children took priority. I'm old now and can barely use my hands anymore. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us. God bless you.
What a pure delight to see you work. You’re not a handyman, but a skilled, knowledgeable, talented young man. And you can sew. So sorry that you lost your dad. I hope he’s left powerful memories with you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This now is one of my favourite videos in 15 years on this platform. Absolutely mind blowing. I am not sure if there is anything more pleasing to watch than a man, who passionately building something with his own hands and smart financial management. Shaking your hand through the screen, man. Best wishes to you and your family.
Very sorry to hear about the loss of your father!
Your ingenuity is incredible! Enjoyed see what you did with the van! Great job!
So sorry to hear the loss of your Dad. You did a great job. A son to feel real proud of. Blessings. Much success to you🎉🎉🎉
As a master carpenter/plumber/electrician, I am amazed. The work you put into this van is undeniably the most brilliant art I have ever seen. It would have been an honor to have you as a student/learner in these crafts. God bless you for your time and effort.
First off, deepest condolences to you and your family. Lost of a loved one is never easy. Towards the end of the video when you explained some finishing needs to be done etc, I could see how challenging it was for you to complete this build with all other family challenges going on. Thank you for completing this build, I’ve been following your content since almost day one when you were cutting wood and designing in your apartment in VA. You my friend have grown so much, your experience truly shows in your work.
Take some well needed time for you and your family. We’re not going anywhere, when you decide to put a course or some kind of training together just let us(your followers) know. Wish you the best and continue to stay positive and grow. Vet to Vet, Salute my brother..💪🏽🙏🏽
@ds1755 you’ve said it best 🕊 All my love, DualEx, be well
Awesome van! I love watching your builds. I turn 59 in September, and am attempting my own build in a 24 passenger (with luggage compartment) build. You give me courage to try. I’m so sorry about the loss of your Dad. You did him proud, to be accomplished, talented and to help others…it’s everything a parent could hope for. My prayers are with you and your family.
59 in September as well.
What a awesome job I’m impressed with your skills I just finished a cargo to camper build though I did a great job but you blew mine out of the water love the way you made the shower door totally amazing I hope you don’t mind me using your ideas again great job
Smooth, professional editing, comfortable video length, remarkable build, boundless ingenuity. Excenllent work, DualEx, and my condolences. Any parent would be proud to have a son so self-sufficient and proficient in his craft; may your father rest peacefully knowing his son is a success.
👍👍👍❤️❤️From SWEDEN
Plus your voice matches your skills. SMOOTH. Bless you and your family during this transition in your lives.
I just bumped into this video and watched it with awe 😲. It is so mesmerazing to watch your work and how skillful you are. Wow! I don't have a camper van and I don't know if I ever will, but I like to watch this kind of videos and admire how little spaces turn into cozy and functional travel homes.
The woodworking skills displayed in this video are amazing to watch, can clearly see the love you put in and the various different techniques you use.
Appreciate the dovetail on the drawers! 😊
You are insanely talented. I don’t think people realize the difficulty one would overcome doing all of that work the way you did. Outstanding job
I've been building homes as a master carpenter and contractor. You my brother definately not only have skills but the talent. Great job. And my condolences for your loss.
I am absolutely blown away. Wiring, Plumbing, Woodworking, video editing. Is there anything you cant do? Very impressive build man. I am looking to do the same thing. I've watched a few of these conversion videos and yours stands neck and shoulders above the rest. Subbed!
A breath of fresh air, someone showing how to do things on a limited budget and not trying to rip anyone off, well done and thank you man from across the pond in the U.K. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
The vehicle has a "drive train & suspension" system. That's rated for the weight/height of the vehicle for operation safely at speeds on a road. Motorhome manufacturers know this. Make sure you understand what you are building on. What the engine and transmission..front, and expecially rear axle weight is rated for. Otherwise, you are a disaster on the road to yourself and those driving on the road around you.
Like taking a fiat, take the tires off. Replace them all around with some 4 year old's bicycle tires, take the front and back forks, with a bicycle brake system, slap it on as the car's suspension system, and expect the fiat to run right at 55mph. This is a decorative clown video so who created it on youtube makes money off of it.
Artist, engineer, architect, carpenter (dovetails, seriously dope), electrician, plumber, HVAC, what did I leave out? Oh yeah, filmmaker, and more. So impressive. Thanks for this video, it's been too long! ETA...aware of your loss now, sincere condolences.
U forgot dope with sewing machine as well!!!
You left out great brother and cool dude.
Sewing
😊
Yes, I was really impressed about those dove tails. Nice craftsmanship right there.
This dude is a bad ass for sure I wish I had 10% of his knowledge/skills
Dude! I'm a 68 year old grandmother! I've loved your video. My dad was a carpenter. I've watched him build hundreds of cabinets. You have crazy skills. Your work is beautiful. I'll be watching all your videos. I'm sorry for loss. Time is the only healer I know of tho. Treasure your sister. I loved mine dearly. Take care, have fun and thanks for sharing!
What more can be added to the comments, except many👍 !!! You’re just a great example of resourcefulness and determination-an overcomer, nothing is so formidable that you won’t take it on. Plus, you’re willing to share and give a hand up-WOW ! (and that’s no exaggeration).
Very impressed with your skills. Love how you don’t just skimp on your corners. Everything is complete and done correctly, not just nailed together. Beautiful work!!! I’m so very sorry for the loss of your Dad. ❤️
Your build style is very distinct and super practical! Condolences for your loss. I was wondering why you haven't posted in a while. Your videos are a huge inspiration for the DIY community!

I am so sorry for your family loss. Your dad has a great legacy of amazing skills that i am glad you have shared. It's a rare pleasure to see a young black man who has honed such incredible abilities and willingness to educate others.
Watching this has brought back so many memories of my dad's trademanship. I pray that your family's hearts will heal as rejoice due to your days spent with yours. Thank you. I look forward to more.
First of all- my deepest condolences on the loss of your father. I’m keeping you and your family in my thoughts & prayers. Second- all of your van builds absolutely rock! Keep the vids coming please! BTW- I’m a 54 year old veteran teacher (taught 21+ years) and I’m learning everyday, so thank you!
Man you had all 100% of my attention for this whole video. You have no idea how much I learned just by watching this !! Your carpentry skills are bonkers lol I’m building my first van and there’s so much mystery and anxiety. But you just Str8up blasted thru this thing and created a hand made masterpiece!!!! So inspired by your hard work and my heart goes out to you brother. I can’t imagine the pain you must be in. Keep up the awesome content man!! Much love.
Ps: I do have a question though. I tried finding it in your videos, but I’m doing a similar set up with an ecoflow delta pro. I can’t for the life of me figure out to wire/ incorporate it into my build. Any videos of your I might of passed up ?? Thanks man !
First, my prayers go out to you and your family. It’s hard to recuperate after the loss of a parent. Second, your skills are so incredible. What you did to this van proves YOU can build for under $10,000. Not everyone can do what you do! Please don’t sell yourself short. Good luck with whatever you’re able to do in the future with teaching/sharing your talents. I enjoy watching your videos.
Young man. I'm blown away with your impressive skills, creativity, courage, willingness to help others and the good ethic of showing detailes even the fails. I'm sorry for your lost and I'm sure your father was a great one to give a birth to such a great son like you. Keep up the good work.
The most multi-talented person I have ever seen work! So many different skills in one. Your Dad must be looking down at you with a big smile! Stay strong!

You sir are a master builder. You will be building my van. God bless and keep you. Stay safe. Thanks for sharing your builds. They’re unmatched! They’re beautifully built, economical and affordable! Thanks!
You’re an absolute phenomenon, a super artistic craftsman and design genius. Also your moral statement and tech skills, the way you edit your videos, is fabulous. So sorry to hear about the passing of your father. RIP to a great man who gave the world great children. I hope you have a lot of sponsors and opportunities flooding in because you’re the top tier in this industry, and very humble. Your father must’ve been so incredibly proud of you. What about doing a segment about his impact on you and who he was? I’d love to see it. You have a lovely sister too. Haven’t seen your Mom, I’m new to your channel.
Me too...but this where I want to spend my time.
BRILLIANTLY done my friend and EVERYTHING you said about van pricing is spot on. It's like no one has any sense of value anymore.
My deepest condolences and prayers for your father's passing. I went through it years ago and it's life-altering. Keep putting your amazing talent out there bro - you have a gift!
You have done a fantastic build. ❤ I love it! I’m sorry about you Dad. God bless you!
Condolences on the passing of your Dad. You are so talented. You can do anything. You can make it work. Thanks for the video. You do beautiful work. God bless
I love your philosophy on making van conversions more affordable and accessable to more people who dont have the budget for a six figure luxury van. Hopefully more people will be inspired to try the diy route b/c of your videos.
I would love to see you expand into more in-depth tutorials on specific design and build projects as well as courses on repurposing a vehicle start to finish.

I'm currently caring for my elderly mom who has dementia so living in a van isn't right for me at this time, but someday maybe.
My heart goes out to you after your father's passing. You are a fine young man and I'm sure he's very proud.
Loved this video. Was my favourite and I have watched a lot of van life videos. Being a full time van lifer with kids… we are always looking for creative ways to store things… you are seriously talented the video editing was amazing, your carpenter skills are just next level. But to design and build a van like this is just down right impressive. You are humble and I am sorry for your loss, just keep going knowing your father is still with you in your heart, you should be incredibly proud of yourself To keep going amidst so many trials. I wish you nothing but success and seems everyone else agrees. It’s Your time to shine and show the world your talents ❤
I’m sorry about your loss. I lost mine this year too. Life comes to a complete halt. Take care of yourself man. You did a great job on this build.
Sorry to hear about your dad. He must have been quite an amazing influence in your life. I have never seen a person so skilled do a build with such complexity. I am completely blown away that someone your age is so talented and focused. Your family must be incredibly proud of your accomplishments! The question I have is how many hours did you put into the build? Lastly, what State are you in? Way to go DualEx, that build is amazing
First, I’m so sorry for your loss losing a parent is tough. Second, you are the most incredible builder I’ve ever seen you can do it all. The world needs more people with your skill set and the world would be a much better place. Keep going with your plans and I can’t wait to see what you do next!
You are a true craftsman. A man with vision, skills, artistry, and great workmanship. Well done, truly. I’m sorry for your family’s loss, he must have been so proud of you.
Well done, young man. My husband & I are in awh. We have a '68 VW bus & camp alot, but we are ready for an upgrade to the camper van. The cost at this point was prohibitive, but you have inspired us. Thank you for your post. My sympathies to you & your family. I hope you are doing well.
It’s not often I watch an entire video without forwarding or losing interest, but I enjoyed every second of this one. You have a gift for blending many different skills and thank you for passing them on to others and showing them it doesn’t take a ton of money to get something you really want. Keep it up. Also, knowing how devastating it is to lose a father myself, I commend you for continuing the build and hopefully every time you see it, you have fond memories of him.
U r amazingly talented bro
Sorry to hear about the loss of your father. You have really impressed me with this latest build. Your skills have grown immensely and your attention to detail is amazing. Keep up the good work!
Dude, your van project is simply incredible! I'm inspired by your determination, especially considering your father's passing. Sharing this with us is a generous move.
Creating a Patreon account is brilliant - your knowledge and creativity deserve support. Thanks for the awesome video and inspiration. Best of luck!
This is maybe the most amazing video I've seen on TH-cam. Others here have commented about the skills and creativity you demonstrated in the buildout of van and in the making of this video, but here is what I saw: skilled carpenter, joiner, electrician, plumber, creative and highly skilled videographer, interior designer, architect, skilled negotiator (with your sister for the cushion from her sofa), scrounger (for materials and components), seamster (male version of seamstress?) and all around cool guy. I loved the chill music in the background and the epilogue in which you discussed your ideas for an educational course. I live in Japan, and I see a lot of the skills and attention to detail (especially in the woodwork) you demonstrated in the work of Japanese craftsmen. I will happily subscribe and follow you, my man! Keep up the excellent work.
This is, hands down, one of the most impressive builds I have ever seen. You’re a master craftsman. I’m blown away.
Sorry to hear about your Dad.
Man I’m impressed at how you can just turn your hand to anything and even build everything from scratch, you have a talent. You attention to detail shows and pays off. Massive well done and can’t wait to see the finished van
Would like to start off by letting you know that you are a remarkable young man. I have to say you are very talented with ideas of your own. Other builds I have watched, they just go buy everything they need. I love the theme you created inside the van. Absolutely beautiful. I am blown away with how the van turned out.
Sorry to hear about your dad. He must of been a great man and I am sure he will be missed.
Thank you for sharing this build with all of us and looking forward to seeing more of your work.
You are the most skilled person I have ever seen on youtube
These are words most young men need to hear to remain vigilant within our lives of manhood. That you for expressing these words.
Watching you build, and listening to you speak was one of the most inspirational things that I have experienced in many decades.
