If anybody is on the fence between this one and a less expensive version that you don’t know the build quality….. go with this one. As a Skoolie owner I can tell you that if your rig is not built well…. Things will rattle loose and tumble down quickly. Great job you two. !!
This was a lot of fun to watch. You guys put a lot of love into this, and that’s not even touching the camera and editing work. Whew! Ya’ll were BUSY!❤
I have a 1999 Ford Econo van oh I work and live in it 90% of the time and I really appreciate your tips Jay is a clever guy I’ve been watching for two days on and off that was cool in your bus days I don’t know how you don’t kill one another ha ha I’ll keep watching good luck
A lot of people just don’t have the skills or experience to build out a van from scratch. And no, not everyone can learn to do it. But they might still want a van like this and have the money to buy one because they are really good at their “day job” such as marketing, writing code, day trading, etc
@@RustyCas999 bro i ain't sending no hate. its just my personal opinion.But fr, anybody can learn if they really want. But for ME, I'd want to buiild my own van. But there are others who doesn't. I don't really care.
This was a thoroughly satisfying van build video! Your talent and passion show in the beauty of this van. Also, I watched the van tour and it's gorgeous 😍 Love the pops of color and balance of white and wood 🙂
hey, hows it going? i want to say that JESUS the SON OF GOD is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE, and trough believe in JESUS you can be clean of your sins and be SPIRITUALLY ALIVE! so you wont go to hell but too heaven
Very good Job. If only I was twenty years younger. Jay your such a talented person and Kels you are his inspiration. Good Luck With the Sale I hope it is soon.
looks good! I've seen a few people starting custom van build companies over the past few years and slowly they disappear! it's an expensive business not only for the builders but for the buyers. I hope things work out for you.
Kel's n Jay you guys are amazing. I love the previous video where you showed the basement. That sir was an amazing impressive build. 10 gold stars!!💜💜💜
So very beautiful so proud of you both you are a very special couple the perfect team your videos brighten my day always thanku so much love an God bless always from Cyprus x
I know this comment is a few months after you did this, and hopefully it has sold now. Probably our best converter in the UK, is Van Life Builds. You should check their vans out for some inspiration, as I've not seen any US converters do anything similar. Great build and all the best.
I love watching van conversions into tiny homes! GREAT WORK!! I am also trying to find others who can reach out to this awesome 76 years young woman who could really use some help with insulating, framing, and a means of showering, etc in her van. She has been living in her van full time for 2 years now and only recently got a portable air conditioner, but I dont think she has enough solar to run it very much each day. The same with heat in the colder months. With the rising cost of everything she couldnt make it on a fixed income and had to go back to work to get the necesseities to survive in the van. So please, if there is anyone out there who can provide any assistance to her or if you know of someone in the LosAngeles area who can help her with anything please do so soon, as the weather will only get hotter as we get the summer months. Here is a link to her shoutouts and a walkthrough of her van. L.A.V.A Lindy's Awesome Van Adventure th-cam.com/video/DCBMU4EsQSU/w-d-xo.html
IF you sell the van for the $100k asking price have you worked out what it works as for your hourly rate$ For example, if you clear $10k and it took 1000 hours to build then your hourly rate is $10. If you're going to run this as a business then you need to know this kind of stuff.
I disagree with this comment. I think ROI is more important. Say you bought the vans for 40k-60k, convert just one a month with roughly 10-15k worth of supplies, sell them for 100k then that’s $25k-$50k a month. I wouldn’t think about the hours you’re putting into it. The moment you treat it like a hourly job you’ll take yours guys obvious joy out of doing what you’re doing. Although I’d sell them for more than $100k this day and age. Vans like these are freaking expensive rn. Not looking to argue just think the opinion I had was a valid and worthwhile mention.
Everyone and their mom can and IS building vans now because there’s no originality in it anymore. Ppl are just buying camper products and putting them in a van. It was special the first few times. But watch enough videos and you will see the same vans over and over and over.
Yeah your talking more in the region of $180-$225 000 for a newly converted sprinter camper so don’t you worry your little self about their profit; trust that it’s plenty and look at the enjoyment of the pair of them❤️
@@serolog2if you begin to resent your business, you won’t want to put the hours in that a passionate person would. Also to add to the original comment, if they did 12 hour days everyday for 30 days (1 month), then they’ve done 360 hours each. £25k-£50k per month is £35-£70 an hour each. That’s VERY good.
I think building the electrical system (and probably the water) on the bench makes a lot of sense. The goal would be to make it easy to disassemble and then reassemble in the van, because chances are you’re going to need to repair or upgrade it eventually. Also, the frustration of building something in a difficult environment (close quarters, hot, etc) does not result in your best work. Thanks for this idea (probably pretty common, but I’ve just not seen it done like this).
What a very impressive conversion. When finished with tanks full, provisions and clothes loaded with driver and passenger. Is it anywhere near its max gross weight? Im doing a conversion soon and just wondered what to expect weight wise. Many thanks for the very interesting, educational content. 👍
Beautiful build! I know that all of your hard work will pay off soon. 🤞🤞 Pippa & Pixie are looking forward to the next project I'm sure. 💞🐈🐈 -Troy & Aimee
Great work. A common sense advice: It is always a bad start to try to cover your expenses selling the product overpriced, you should do exactly the reverse, sell it cheaper first and then the sales will come so you can afford to rise the price. My brother does exactly the same error with his start-up and he wonders why he is not selling :D
They're not bulk producing stuff to sell to a mass market. One month to build one product for a limited market, and your advice is to not even cover expenses? Lol
Wow you make that look so quick and easy lol only kidding guys it looks fantastic and you should be proud of the work you guys do I pray for your success. Stay safe stay strong stay healthy God bless and enjoy life.,✌💪👏💖🎅🚌🌻
Hi, I greatly enjoyed your video. However, what impressed me the most is the trim around the read doors of the Sprinter Van. It is the last thing that I need to do and I am looking for some help on how to make this look nice. I had purchased a passenger van and threw out all the headliner. Well, now I need to build some.
Wish I had a garage that looked like production shop. Tip; Slow the sub titles down. I can't read that quick and focus on what's happening in the video
for me it was the best decision ever. I got divorced at 30 no kids i decided to sell all my stuff and buy a van i am literally saving 3-4k a month its been a year and I don`t regret it.
How many couples are out here doing van life and also trying to make money on social media instead of working? I think I saw about 10,000 "Van Life Expert" videos haha
It turned out beautiful guys wish I had the cash .. y'all did a fabulous job on this build .. thx so much for sharing. My Love n Hugs because I know y'all were going thru some very ruff shit . But u keep pushing n look what U did ... Mucho Love 💜

This is so beautiful!
You guys made the work look easy .
Wow what crazy amazing build hope you guys are doing great in your business adventure! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
You can now buy tile effect boards for the shower cubicle, they are waterproof, no tiling grouting and they are considerably lighter.
You guys have outdone yourselves! Beautiful build. Love the layout and colors. 🙌🔥❤️
Thank you!!
@@KelsAndJaywhat did you do to your hand? 🤕
Nah living in a van like this without making it by yourself takes away so much joy of owning and living in it

So beautiful!!! I wish I was in a place to buy this van. I am still a couple of years away. So keep building!!! I hope to be one of your customers.
Wow. This guy can do carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and engineering.
WOW! amazing work. both the video and the van!
Poor guy is doing everything lol She acts busy for the video lol
I want a van EXACTLY like that one! Amazing job!
Well done guys! You have inspirations….perfect built to….greetings from down under Australia….stay safe guys!

Great Job! 🤩😍
I love inspector 😂
Wow, beautiful craftsmanship
Kindly show the entire finished renovation. Seems you did a great job.
nice video would have been nice if the sale of your first built camper was filmed to
including investment and profit
Nice Job !! I hope it sells !! 👍

Nice build but how much does that van weigh? I see so many nice builds but the GVW of the van is not considered.
one day you guys need to build me one
Beautiful build! I know that all of your hard work will pay off soon. 🤞🤞
Pippa & Pixie are looking forward to the next project I'm sure. 💞🐈🐈

Don’t really think this advice applies to camper vans
They're not bulk producing stuff to sell to a mass market. One month to build one product for a limited market, and your advice is to not even cover expenses? Lol
How incredibly inspiring! 🏔🚐💨
🎉awesome!! Is there a final tour?
Great van build!
Sick I like how you did the floor, that’s how I would do it but I see so many other techniques it made me doubt myself.
That must be near maximum weight. People always forget that when building campers.
Some people really know how to do this stuff.
that floor it gets down with extreme temperatures
You can see from this video the high quality of the build. So much better than some of the mass produced stuff.
Wow you make that look so quick and easy lol only kidding guys it looks fantastic and you should be proud of the work you guys do I pray for your success. Stay safe stay strong stay healthy God bless and enjoy life.,✌💪👏💖🎅🚌🌻
Haha if only it were as easy as this timelapse makes it look, right?! Thanks Chef, hope you are doing well!
Great. Inspirational 🎉. Thx
It would of been nice to of down a tour at the end so we can actually see it
Here's the tour: th-cam.com/video/lcCySshPtjE/w-d-xo.html
Hi, I greatly enjoyed your video. However, what impressed me the most is the trim around the read doors of the Sprinter Van. It is the last thing that I need to do and I am looking for some help on how to make this look nice. I had purchased a passenger van and threw out all the headliner. Well, now I need to build some.
Such a beautiful build!
What ac/heater and plumbing did you use?
Good Job guys.. 😊😍
What type of build would you recommend for just the weekend warrior?
Hi what is the title of the songs you used? You guys did a great job on that van!
Wish I had a garage that looked like production shop.
Tip; Slow the sub titles down. I can't read that quick and focus on what's happening in the video
It’s TH-cam, press pause 😅 or play at 0.5 speed
Really nice job. I am very interested how much weight this build added to van?
Un trabajo fantástico, pero como yo siempre he tenido aversión al trabajo físico y al bricolage, pues...me la tendría que comprar nueva. 😃
why you didn't show the final result? I'd like to see
Did you rent that space for your renovation? If so, what type of place did you rent it from? And what state are you in?
Brilliant
Why didn't you show the end result instead of showing your assess?
Thumbs up -👍on video
How many boxes of wool did you use? Thx!
Where did you two learn these amazing skills?? Good luck in your new venture.
for me it was the best decision ever. I got divorced at 30 no kids i decided to sell all my stuff and buy a van i am literally saving 3-4k a month its been a year and I don`t regret it.
Hi. Great video and beautiful van. Do you mind telling me what type of LED lights you’ve installed on the ceiling?
Where is the overview/internal tour/end total end result?
nice! do you know how much it weighed before and after?
Merhaba karavanı şahsınıza mı yaptınız yoksa bu işimi yapıyorsunuz
If you have a mobile home? What happens when you wanna have Internet connection or electronics like a TV or pc.
How many couples are out here doing van life and also trying to make money on social media instead of working? I think I saw about 10,000 "Van Life Expert" videos haha
N I saw 100000 people/year applying for 9-5 job. 🤣
Mint !
I wonder how much weight you have added to that vehicle as everything looks ten times thicker and heavier it should be for its purpose.
nice job
why no window?
Why didn’t you show the finished result? 🙄
Cause they don’t want your crusty eyes seeing it😒
I just want to know how wide and long is the bed? Dont seem long enough for a normal height male to fully extend his legs and body
amazing work! would love to buy your rv if you are interested in selling!
It turned out beautiful guys wish I had the cash .. y'all did a fabulous job on this build .. thx so much for sharing. My Love n Hugs because I know y'all were going thru some very ruff shit . But u keep pushing n look what U did ... Mucho Love 💜
Where to purchase the van? I went to your website and it's not on there
Was that single core cable you uaed?
Any chance i could get the names of the music used?🙂particularly the first one
로맨티스트 인가?생각했는데,마지막남자분의장난스런손짓이매우인상적입니다. 하하
I am just beginning to look. How much does this build cost. I would only expect a rough estimate. I love your work. It’s gorgeous.
Now's days Need armoured windows and the glass for safety
