Living in a van makes sense for mountain bikers; the ability to travel to a near endless list of mountain bike destinations and camp at the trail head for little to no expense is immensely appealing to many riders. Whether it's a full time commitment or just a weekend excursion, #vanlife is the dream.

What features would you have in your dream travel van?
shower
The garage set-up is great with the extra water and air lines but I think they are missing some key things, like a shower and a toilet.... But guess they can use the garage outlet as a shower port
I wouldn’t have a van , I would have a Tardis.lots of room and they have swimming pools
Global Mountain Bike Network I would have a draft beer system with 3 taps and a kickass gas grill.
Basically a hybrid of This van & Alex's.
Yo! There are levels........and then there is this. NEW regular feature.....GMBN VAN CRIBS 🤘🏻
Van life is the way to go if you can do it 👍
Steve Bee F.A.T. Riding
Na tardis life
Until it gets stolen.
I don’t understand why people don’t buy motorhomes..?
I would think it has to do with getting around to different trails. I have a toy hauler, but can't hop in and take out for a a day or two to find a trail I never been to. It's way to difficult and would rather have the van for these kind of trips.
@@TinkleAssify 😮😆
I use do live in a camper trailer in my younger days, loved it. Best time of my life.
Do more garage /van design episodes ! Love them, and need inspiration for when de have our space..
Jill, stumbled across your van video. Your dad would be so proud of your accomplishments (and he would have loved the van) My name is Dave Graham, Peter and I played a lot of golf and pool together his last couple years. I spoke at his funeral and told the story about him always leaving his phone on “In case Jillybean calls” I think of him often, I now work at one of the golf courses we used to play, Mt Si. He would be jealous as I now play for free! Hope all is well, stay safe!
Best van ever, and Jill is majorly chilled as well. Like it.
Women who ride mtb are like unicorns round these parts.
Brendon Ketner nonexistent
I was lucky enough to meet her in person a few years back, she's super sweet and humble and lightning fast! Her van offs almost as cool as she is.
She’s a beast on a bike! Also, I want to apologize to ALL of the British people watching ,on behalf of ALL Americans, but American girls, love to use the word LIKE, like a lot! Cheers!
You should do more of these episodes RE Vans.
See you at your SeaOtter exhibitiion. I hope the van is there too. I can't believe it's so clean.
Jill's & Bryn's ultimate mtb camper is magic ! So cool 😎👍🌲 🌲 very cleverly designed in every aspect ! Love it 😍 very jealous but in a Lovely way 👍👌it gets a "Super Nice "
Super Nice for sure!
Super van, super Jill!!! I like toot much this kind of spirit!!
I didn't see any storage for clothing. Was that under the bed in a different compartment?
Van goals
Don’t dampen rain noise it’s the best goddamn sound ever!
They dampen it because it makes way to much sound on a sheet metal roof. It makes the roof ressonate. You probably still hear it when inside
I LOL’d when he asked that question! Insulation or not, you will always hear the rain in a van!!
Come on everyone knows that the single track samplers van is the best mtb van
I don't know man, Alex doesn't have Jill in his van 😀
@@dereksmith3632 She's really cool and done a lot for the women's MTB scene! 🤘👊
@@gmbn She has three more fans, my two daughters and me. These young girls need people like Jill for motivation. My youngest has been asked to join a local team but she would be only the second girl to join so she's not interested, but I'm working on her. Please keep the interviews coming.
His van was based on someone else's van, forgot which one it was but it's not a competition either way
@derek smith you have a point there mate
One of these days I'll do the vanlife, got to be done!
If you do send please send it in we'd love to see it!
Blown away by the set-up!
van is way to go, in mine: solar, AC, kitchenette, toilet/shower, table, bed, and of course room for two bike, best think what any outdoorsman can have, nice vid!
That's a huge ass bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I could finish it in 1 post ride.
Good setup! You can get a cover that goes across the top of the rear doors!
Great feature. Yes, more van check episodes please. Great for ideas and inspiration.
Cooking outside? She's not in Britain! 😁
🤣
they live in Bellingham I think (PNW) where it rains a shitload from Nov-Mar.
@@hobmarg try Nov-Nov
Honestly just spent the best £85 in my life on gmbn
The question is... who the hell gives this a thumbs down?
I had the chance to see their previous van and it was awesome. I can only imagine what this one looks like in real life. #fancy
Chris Opie on GCN is extremely jealous. That thing is awesome.
The garage is art. Engineering level up.
Absolutely perfect 🤘🤘
Thanks Ted! 👍👊
Dream van if you have the money. I have a VW caddy which works well to carry a couple of bikes easily without too much fuss.
thats the best van Ive seen so far!
Love this video! Wonder if I can do any of this with a Transit Double cab... has anyone made a bike van out of one????
Interesting design for a van
Low key I kninda like it
You guys should look at some MTB focused UK vans and builders if you are going to do a mini-series. There are some great vans and builders about that focus on the things thats needed for van/bike life in the UK/Europe...
Doddy over on GMBN Tech has been wanting to feature them on the Tech show. If you know anyone with a good one ask them to send it in to upload.gmbn.com if they want to submit for a feature.
At the back of the van I would have a cover that goes over the two open doors to give you shelter from the rain. It worked on my surf bus, especially in Uk. COOL van, do they export to the UK? mmmm big loan coming up?
You need to check out Alexander's van from singletrack sampler Channel.
You guys should have checked mine out at Sea Otter hahaha
Powerful!
We are a coach builders in the UK, anyone need something like this built? hit us up 😎
Matt Hill yes I am looking. Located in London
Very nice!
these van conversions are so cool..if i wasnt married i would be in a van or camper in a heartbeat..alone..away from all the horrible people in this world..ugh.. #alonelife :)
Where does the electrical run off of. Do you just run the diesel when you need extra juice? I see there are inverters so I'm guessing that or some deep cycle batteries are hidden somewhere. Didn't see room for a generator.
Sweet Garage!
I live in a Reliant Regal Supervan
That's literally my dream... you open up a door and see 4 Fox Factory forks!
Like if you agree!
So cool!
great video
Great van, obviously a lot of work went into that. I have to ask myself though why do all mountain bikers seem to want to convert a sprinter van versus just getting an RV? I get that one is easier to drive and better on gas mileage but it seems like a monumental amount of work and expense. I'm sure there's a reason, I just don't know what it is.
Easier parking at events and trailheads. Can manage many dirt roads pretty well. Gas mileage. Easier to stealth camp in van. Many neighborhoods have restrictions on RV. It can be your daily driver. It's #vanlife, not #rvlife.
Regular RVs can't really hold all the bikes etc inside unless you get a toy hauler RV. But then they are big/expensive/and use allot more fuel like MouatainKing said.
Her house goes to a mechanic when it needs work.....Geniuses at work here
great!!! ...m benz ....or nothing!
it seems really similar at least in the back to the lost co bike van
Great build, but I think Alexander (Singletrack Sampler) has the better van.
His bed that folds into a futon is really sweet and really opens up the space, but with two people I don't think you can beat a big bed like this one. I need space to move around when I sleep, and if its warm I can't really be touching my partner or I overheat. Anything smaller then a queen would be too small for me with a partner personally, for short trips and vacations smaller would probably work. Good sleep is important especially if your trying to be competitive.
Not sure if this is the regular or mid length sprinter, the long version is a little impractical since you can't really park it in any normal spots.
I have a van but the windows leak cold air. What was the brand and model of those insulating blackout shades? Thanks
Would a downhill bike fit in there or is it too low for that?
like cool van like I really like it like a lot
what kind of trays are the bikes on?
I need to know where she got the sliding racks at 1:05 from!!!
Seth helped build Alex s fan and they pretty much did the same thing. Go to Seths Bike Hacks or the Single Track Sampler channel. They do the whole van build.
Google container slides . Buy a pair then make the tray . There all homemade
What model Smith’s is she wearing?
What are those storage bags?
Where do they put there clothes?
What's rain?
Can you guys do a bike check please.
144 or 177?
Do this with skills with phill
MAGNUM 0522 boil it’s not skills with phill it’s single track sampler
Like the van but where are all your clothes?
Take a drink for every time she says "like" I'm wrecked already
How are you even writing this comment 😂
Dang, 4 bike racks? I don’t even have 4 bikes
VanPrice...150'000 Euro ? 😅
A lot less. MB Vans are priced very competitively. A sprinter is cheaper than a T6.
Depending on miles, used Mercedes Sprinters are $28k-40k USD - that's a shit load by the way. Then you pay someone to outfit it for camping, prob another $6-8k plus USD. Def a sweet, cadillac setup but out of my league!
Love the bike set up, but the life set up not so much
WiFi though?
do a game of e bike with sam pilgrim and black samson and chris smith
Sprinters suck. Maintenance is a killer. Not a lot of horsepower. Top heavy. Lack of support here in U.S. Ford Transit Van all the way.
1.
No issues with assembly for me th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".
Who needs a house ?
Sami Asghar i dont need house
I need mtb please
Gift me mtb please
Cant aford to buy one sad
Anyway thanks
Hello mtv welcome to my crib
That’s not England that is pissing most of times
Love the design and layout of the van, however would have been more confident inspriring if Toyota had made the base.

She said "like" 792 times.
I'll take the Porsche parked next to it. It's cheaper and I'll spend the money on hotels ;)
Booooo

Hi
Hi 👋
Mercedes-Benz the best or nothing !
Cringe
One of the worst vans for rust in the UK mate.
Dannyboiii Green first of all UK does not even have one successful Car-company, except mini. But even mini is lead by an german headquarter, otherwise it would also have been getting bankrupt. The only thing brits can do right is: steeling money from rest of the EU, making questionable deals on the stock exchange, drinking beer and watching football
The good think, they voted themself out of Europe. Ok, most of all because they got rapped by digital fake news from the brexetiers Millionär mafia. Anyway, you get what you deserve.
The Sprinter was, is, and will always be the most successful Van in the world!! Google it you dummy. If you don’t like it, than it is your personal opinion, but don’t contaminate it with your unfair fake comment
@@RobertSchuster68 McLaren and Anson Martin not successful enough for you?

Wouldn't you want to marry her 🤩
Nah Rachel’s mine
How much is she selling it for 😂 ??
“Like” speak. At least two unnecessary likes in every sentence.
She's has no clothes storage. WTF?
Van life blows. I’m tired of cycling media pushing it as well. If you live in it that’s a different thing.Most of these van clowns are weekend warriors from what I see in Northern California. Get a hitch rack or roof rack and leave a little room for the rest of us at the trail head.... k?
Vote Trump
Sweet rig! 🚚 😀👍
Cool van but exactly how many times did she say "like"? Like 100?
