Dylan Magaster thanks dear
love !
Thanks!
Dylan is so efficient and such a great communicato that he made it easy and fun for us.. He was so prepared and working most of the time, but having fun and enjoying the scene. This guy has a great future ahead of him.
they spent WAY too much money on labor
The setting and cinematography of this one is your best work yet Dylan
+Erik Conover Thanks Erik!
Erik Conover I love seeing my favorite youtubers supporting others in the community. I don't know why, it's just unexplainablely inspiring.
This is actually the most breathtaking setting I've seen yet. What state/area is this in?? It's in my bucket list
@@FloatingOrbProductions hey I hawe question can you drive this sprinter with regular license
The speed that you put out quality content is unbelievable. You are destined for great success.
Andrei Smith agreed
100% agreed!
Timo and Kyle, you can agree by *solely* thumbing up the comment, instead of riding on the coattails of it.
TheUtuber999 lol, I did ;)
Kyle Gordy (sigh) Edited my comment.
This is one of the best can life videos I've seen. The way the couple communicate their intentions is really motivating.
I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos (in this case: amber light doesn't attract bugs). Also, I have to give a huge shoutout to Joe for providing the full breakdown and total costs. A lot of us always wonder what certain van builds cost to get up and running and although this one is on the high side, it's evident they didn't skimp on anything! Everything is done professionally and the design has great purpose. Love it.
I believe in having a good work ethic, and having a steady job is not a bad thing. But there is more to life than that and I just love stories like these. Because it reminds me that the daily grind has a limit. And at some point you have to make a decision. Great video!
Most definitely
This lifestyle is only practical if you don't have kids
Excellent comment. I think it takes a great work ethic to build and maintain a van to live in and to have done what Joe explained about saving. I do not but think "work ethic" is about the TYPE of work. It can't be. The term was coined at the start of t he protestant church when most of the work we do today did not exist ;) peace.
@@juniordev2570 you must be new to these videos. Search tiny house or van life + kids. People do what they want to do and figure out how to do it. There are plenty of kids out there.
This might be one of the most well thought-out van conversions I've seen.
Except 4 NO TOILET or hanging space...
This is.probably one of my favorite tiny homes so far 👍

Dude, there's so much I like about this fit out. Love the slide out bike tray, bike service rack on the back door, love the two way kitchen cupboards, doors on both sides of van, like the abundance of kitchen bench space (sink on one side, cooking on the other), 300watts on top, 2200W inverter.....Kudos champ! Smart!
What a great life ... Hope to someday be lucky enough to live like this and even luckier to find someone to go on the adventure with me 😊
berryfairy68 i want to find someone to do this with me too!
berryfairy68 where do you live fancy a chat what’s your email?
thanks for this inspirational video!
We lived in our ‘Crazy Daizy’ RV for 2,5 month when we traveled through Europe with it. Now we are rebuilding it so it will be exactly how we want i for us and our dog. Soon new adventures will come.
We started vlogging during our trip and love looking att other travelers, because it’s so great that we can share our experiences in that way!
"Live deliberately". Great take away. Been collecting build vids for a year now and yours is number one. Turning sixty nine next month and I just bought a new MB 4x4 cargo Van. I'm now starting the build so I can take my own permanent road trip for as long as this body holds out. Thanks for the inspiration. Keeping the house as a back up plan and renting it out so I can have some passive income while on the road. SS will help as well. Can't say I'm escaping the corporate world as I've had my own photography business my entire life but a job is still a job. Now I can shoot what I want to instead of what my clients want. Perhaps our paths will cross on the road one of these days. Thanks guys.
really really well thought out. grey water discharge, wooden shower stand, propane tank, swivel chairs, insulation (ceiling, walls, floor, cab), amber light (doesn't draw bugs), fantastic fan vent, cr lawrence vented window, nice looking van sink and sink cover, nice wooden walls
What a beautiful van, l love the double sliding doors. Happy trails !
Thank you so much for featuring my music Dylan! ✌
Simon Alexander I can't find this particular song anywhere and I love it!
Brittany Miller It's my next single and will be coming out this spring. Follow me on my social pages so you won't miss it :)
Your song Slide is amazing! Can't wait for it to come out! :)
Neonriver Productions thanks mate! Keep your eyes open next month ;)
I met this couple and their puppy in Arizona earlier this year, we hung out and went biking/exploring for about 4-5 days. Friends you meet on the road, to which you shall meet again in the years to come. Hope to see Joe and Emilie on the road in the future.
Dylan, I have watched several of your videos and just recently subscribed. I enjoy your personality and the fact that what you produce is fun to watch. I have seen 100's, if not thousands, of videos and what strikes me most about yours is the excellence of the presentation. You have a great eye and the audio/video quality is outstanding. I learn a lot from TH-cam but, honestly, some of it is almost painful to watch. Yours are quite refreshing on the other hand. If I ever decide to vlog my experiences on the road I will constantly be asking myself the question, "How would Dylan Magaster present this?" Are you self taught or have you studied your art for years. Keep 'me coming. Thanks.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. I am self taught. I dropped out of community college. All I know about film making has been from experience and the great teacher that is the internet.
Just watch his original South America trekking vlog and you'll see how far he's come...for instance, no extended shots of his feet lately... ;)
This is awesome, me and my other half have decided we are going to save for a sprinter and get out there ! 👍🏻
do it
I've seen a lot of converted vans and this one, by far, is of my favorites. So much thought was put into this. Just beautiful.
Dylan Magaster is a MASTER!! Every one of your videos I've seen, I watch to the end and this is the common refrain... "Aww Man! It's already over?!?," and then I'm eager to watch it again!!😂😂😂
Thank you for doing what you do.
Great video Cap'n Magaster Sir! These two seem quite genuine; good on them for caring to share a bit of their well planned, thus deserved lifestyle. Thanks for getting out and getting it done and sharing with us all heroes!
Love that most of these people have pets. We don't go anywhere without our furbabies. Just found your channel & am binge watching all the videos.
Beautifully shot Dylan. This couple is Awesome and their van build is Outstanding!
Love this van! It's so smartly built in accordance to this couple's needs. I also like that it doesn't read as "camper van" due to the stealth build. I'm sure that helps a lot when it comes to having to park in more urban areas.
Beautiful story, beautiful people, INCREDIBLE video. Great work Dylan. Thanks so much for working to share this with us. Joe and Emile, if you guys are reading this, you two are champs! Keep living the dream! :-)
Another AMAZING video with great content and production value! This is exactly what I hope my wife and I can do when the kids grow up and leave the nest. All these simple, van dwelling videos are giving me great ideas! Keep up the great work, Dylan!
this has been my FAVORITE van life video so far and I've seen far too many to count! great work!
This was an awesome build and video. I love Emily and Joe's presentation the most-est. Everyone doesnt speak so well or clearly with the fewest distracting mannerisms. When you listen to as many of these as i do, irritation accumulates. Hahaha. Thank you Joe for all the really helpful advice at the end which can be used for ANYTHING. THANK YOU AGAIN.
Joe and Emilie, love the van! But take it from another bike rider--update those bikes! Yeesh.. things have come so far since that era of tech! They fit better, feel better and will make you more confident on the trail. Other than that, keep living the dream. You two are awesome!
Anyone have any recommendations for people or tiny houses to film in the PNW or BC? I'm headed up to Van Island hopefully later this week!
I have an off grid tiny house about an hour north of Seattle. Even if you don't film, come hang out! I'll make you a meal.
Alex King cool m8
Dylan Magaster beautiful video and love the personal connection you capture. was this shot in the PNW?
Just hit me up whenever you're in Japan, dude. All the houses are tiny here!
great video. new to your channel. do you have any videos which detail costs of building van like this.
This is possibly the most efficient and beautiful van. All the special features! It's great, so is your advice!
What wonderfully passionate and eloquent people. Their van really matches their needs and lifestyle. I see them as an inspiration and will definitely be taking their advice haha.
This video gave made valuable info about saving to help with my RV experience. I'm just beginning at retirement age and need all thee tips I can get. Great video. Awesome van! Thank you!
From one Ohioan to another, thank you for sharing this video. We recognize all the hard work that was put into building the van as well as producing the video to show it!!! Sincere thanks. Safe travels to you.
This is one of the best built vans I have seen!
Joe, what a fantastic job you did on designing the inside placement of things. I love to see when a person has good organizational skills. Your inside of van is so beautiful and homey. Love the artwork on your cabinet doors. The dog is so cute! He/she must make a wonderful traveling companion. That stream you shot was beyond perfect and called to me so strongly. You can't even hope to find such a perfect stream anywhere near where I live. It made me feel the call of the wild so very keenly. Wonderful video. You both are very talented. Thank you for sharing.
I usually watch theses things and end up hating on the hipster van life instagram crowd but these two seem genuine and that bit about saving at the end was great
WOW What a great build!! The design on those cabinets is so beautiful. Everything about that van is just wow. I love the natural wood work. That has to be one of my favorite features of any home. I'm really speechless. I would love to see this van in person. I don't think the video shows the true beauty of this van. Not saying this is a bad video. This is a very well done great video. I love everything in this video. I just would love to see it in person so I can pinch myself to see if I'm a wake or is it all a dream.. lol... Thanks for sharing this video with us. Thumbs up for me!!!
Phenomenal van conversion, phenomenal shooting/editing.
Came for the van dwelling story. Stayed for the quality production, camera work, editing, audio...and that heavenly song.
My life goals!
Mines too
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how this van looks on the outside. i agree, i don't want a bunch of gear, storage, tanks, and other stuff hanging off the outside! the thing i wanted to see, though, was a convertible bed?!? does the bed convert into a seating lounge/ dining table/ office desk? that would've had me SOLD!
Hi
I must say my first thought when I saw the Mercedes van, was this was another video from a privileged couple, but then I watched further & saw the clips from you guys actually doing stuff & quite well too I must add, so I had to give credit due where credit is due. To get where you are in the video required a fair commitment to the lifestyle you are depicting.
I think that I can see you guys are the real deal & I applaud what you are doing.
The laser cut mountain scene on the wall really makes the van stand out and truly personal and home-like.
congratulations your build is the best I have seen and trust me I have looked at a lot for a home build its brilliant and well thought out. looking forward to future vids.enjoy guys.
Another great story Dylan, and a favorite subject of mine, van life. I've noticed that in your videos, the people that you cover, you let them do all the talking, explaining, and I very much like that idea. If I even ran across a subject that I wanted to cover and make a video out of it, I too would let the people do all of the talking.
It really works out nice that way, and gives you time to set up your camera gear and use, throughout the interview.
You're a great inspiration Dylan, and I wish you much more success, along with much inner peace. :-) ✌
+Visual Traveler 🙏🏼 thanks I appreciate it.
Great van space planning. One thing, tho. The laser cut cabinet along bed. I would have asked for sliding doors. No hinges. Don't know if that's possible and would take up too much room away from the mattress area, but being able to just slide those cabinet "panel" doors would have been nicer to me. Gorgeous layout, tho !
Bloody good for you two..! Love your attitude to life. You did 'your time' as corporate slaves and then got the hell out and changed your lives with your justified rewards.
And the dogs name is cool too..! Ushi [sp?].
Subbed not just because I'm a fan of van living, but because of you two personally.
All the best from the east coast of the UK..!
I'd give this video and it's creative, awesome content an infinite amount of thumbs up if possible. Video quality, sound, music...ALL on point!! Excellent!!!
This is one of the coolest van conversions I've seen on TH-cam. congratulations and enjoy your adventures.
Thank you for featuring a couple over the age of 30. Inspiring!
Awesome video. The sites, van info and philosophy of life. Thank you for sharing!
This is some of the best storytelling I have ever seen on TH-cam
Omg that's so weird. I've been born and raised in south bend and I dream of van life and leaving this town. Crazy
Really good quality entertainment here. Thank you for finding inspirational people and stories and sharing them.
So nice to see allot of people enjoying the vanlife style.
Cant wait till i can hit the road and get my first experiences in 4-5 months.
How lucky u two....what a great n wonderful life ..
I thank you for sharing this video as you guys have really thought of your van and your lifestyle needs. this has the be one of the best video i have seen in the start of vanlife. thank you ! dave from australia!!
THANK YOU!!!!! I kinda wanted to go to van life after college but watching your videos had made me want to do it 10000x more!! You are the GOAT and probably the reason I'll end up living in a van or a tiny house someday !! :)))
Awesome. This video may convert my husband over to the van dwelling life!
Absolutely gorgeous and practical build guys, I love it, congrats to you both!
Great story and awesome videography! Thanks! They are inspiring!
Esthetics. Intelligence. The designs throughout are superb.
Great channel. One of the few I have felt compelled to subscribe to so I dont miss anything. Id love to find myself in a place to be featured here one day, and this is great motivation to do so!
Blooming heck this was a good one to watch! Bring on the van life, I can't wait! Thank you so much got these videos ❤️
Great job with the video & love the suggestions of what could have been changed. That's so awesome you both get to enjoy life in a whole different level!
it is wonderful; such a natural existence. Very limited consumption, nothing contrived, nothing forced.
Great job on the van. What a fantastic way to live. Gonna show this to my special someone in hopes of maybe doing it one day. Fingers crossed. ☺
you know....that was one of your better interview/vid....very engaging couple and concise editing.... well done! thank you. blessings, scott
Really great build! Congrats on your lifestyle change Joe and Emilie! I'm not quite there yet, nor do I have the best vehicle to live in full time. Life is getting in the way at the moment but at least I can do weekend warrior stuff. I do want to see Vancouver Island, so now that I am retired, I am hoping to do some vanning. :) Really lovely home on wheels~ love the "bedroom" and the closet doors. I love that you have a dog too. I have dogs as well. Really great build.
Beautifully done as usual, my friend
Update update update!!!! What changes have you made to your van and set up???? I loved your build video and want to see more Dylan!
I really don't understand how this video has 111 dislikes. Makes no sense😂❤❤God job Job Dylan! Nice work! I love how the film is set up🙏
Very nice conversion, one of the best on YT.
Thanks for this one! Several good ideas taken for my build coming soon! And also i agree: editing, sound etc was really well done. Great music too
Yet another great story. Keep doing what you do, guys!
Awesome Gorgeous drone footage of the River ❣
Your videography is amazing! You have serious talent and I enjoy every video you put out. Your hard work is appreciated!
discovered your channel a few nights ago and I've yet to be disappointed. Great content!
Very inspiring.
Y'all are living a great life, I am really thinking about doing the same. Thanks for showing this video, it pushes me closer to my dream.
Great video, thanks for bring us their story!
So cool. Your little dog will be in heaven !
Cool couple! That river and wherever it was at the end of the video looked Amazingly beautiful!! Thank's for sharing:)
lol the pop that the water tank made was very satisfying
Take note all you videographers. Notice how Dylan doesn't say awesome! on everything the van owners show him. Just let them tell the story. Excellent video again Mr. Magaster.
Watching these van conversions I wondered why do people not buy a truck and camper? I love my truck camper, has everything in it. Load up and go, rugged and compact enough to go up logging roads but more roomy than a van.
Those drone shots were so rad
Incredible interview and editing. I've always preferred an interview technique where the talent incorporates questions into their answers (keep interviewer off to side) U da man! and thanx
Beautiful.
i freaking love your channel! makes me feel grreat and fresh.. Keep it up Dylan
Add a casette toilet, and I'm in!...
NOT going 2 look 4 a restroom 1st thing in the AM, or after dark, in the rain or when I'm not feeling good or have a migraine! Everything is so nice and professional....would have 2 have hanging space too 4 @ least a few pretty dresses 🙂
Great job with the van layout. Live long and happy!
Cannot believe you got any thumbs downs. Great video, great to see ya doing what ya wanta. Living the life. Thx
that laser cut wood design is just stunning
This is absolutely amazing! Love what you have done with it...
yeah wow, another quality video my friend. solid solid work.
had to subscribe on my birthday!!! thank you for sharing!
Lots of great ideas here! Thanks, Dylan!
I couldn't do it, but I'm truly happy it works for you.
Really nice van, beautiful cabinet wardrobe! Great video!
You out do yourself again, Dylan. Wow! And that van... A MaZING!
