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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
This is a nice looking build, but I have to ask. how much weight did it add to the van? It looks like you added a lot of weight. Does anybody build a nice looking lightweight van?
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. 👍
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!!💜💜💜
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
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).
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
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.
Yea great video up until the end. Ever see a great movie only to be disappointed at the end? Did you purposely forget to add the "before and after" big finish? Or are we supposed to mentally put it together ourselves from the bits n pieces of the video?
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
You can now buy tile effect boards for the shower cubicle, they are waterproof, no tiling grouting and they are considerably lighter.

What are the cons of having a skoolie vs a van?
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!❤
Wow what crazy amazing build hope you guys are doing great in your business adventure! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

This is so beautiful!
You guys made the work look easy .
Loved every minute of this!
Thanks friends :)
This was so cool to watch!
I want a van EXACTLY like that one! Amazing job!
Nah living in a van like this without making it by yourself takes away so much joy of owning and living in it

You guys have outdone yourselves! Beautiful build. Love the layout and colors. 🙌🔥❤️
Thank you!!
@@KelsAndJaywhat did you do to your hand? 🤕
Perfect Job....keep on going...
best wishes🤠
Well done guys! You have inspirations….perfect built to….greetings from down under Australia….stay safe guys!
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.
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.
Yeah just another social media fad
Kel's n Jay... I like you van conversion, hope you can sold your first van and do the second van concersion video soon.
Congrats from Brazil
AWESOME!!! You guys have got this ! Van is incredible...Great build
Thanks Steven!!

Great build video, quality work.
Nice build but how much does that van weigh? I see so many nice builds but the GVW of the van is not considered.
عالی بود،به این میگن یک همکاری درست.ون شما بسیار زیبا شده.❤❤👌🏻👍🏻
Poor guy is doing everything lol She acts busy for the video lol
I know this comment is a few months after you did this, and hopefully it has sold now.

Great build and all the best.
If you have a mobile home? What happens when you wanna have Internet connection or electronics like a TV or pc.
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?
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
What ac/heater and plumbing did you use?
Wow. This guy can do carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and engineering.
What type of build would you recommend for just the weekend warrior?
Who cares what it cost 🤷♂️what a beautiful van you have created between your selves. Well done 👏👏👏👏🫶
You guys are hard workers!! Brilliant
Thanks guys!!
Hi what is the title of the songs you used? You guys did a great job on that van!
Merhaba karavanı şahsınıza mı yaptınız yoksa bu işimi yapıyorsunuz
Nice video! And great teamwork💪
Great job , congratulations.
This is a nice looking build, but I have to ask. how much weight did it add to the van? It looks like you added a lot of weight. Does anybody build a nice looking lightweight van?
I came here looking for ideas. It's too beautiful to imitate. wonderful.

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.
Great Job! 🤩😍
Where is the overview/internal tour/end total end result?
Where to purchase the van? I went to your website and it's not on there
How many boxes of wool did you use? Thx!
Totally loved it!
what did the van sell for?
This is beautiful! Loved seeing the step by step process in this video. You both work SO hard! You should be proud of yourselves! 👏🏼

Fantastic job you too and a lot of thought and efffort gone in to it
Any chance i could get the names of the music used?🙂particularly the first one
why you didn't show the final result? I'd like to see
I'm in South Africa Durban where can I get the camper van I want to start the life of traveling in few times to come
How much does the van sell for?
🎉awesome!! Is there a final tour?
Wow, beautiful craftsmanship
Glass wool is the baddest decision.
I love inspector 😂
Really nice job. I am very interested how much weight this build added to van?
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
Amazing content !
nice job
why no window?

nice video would have been nice if the sale of your first built camper was filmed to
including investment and profit
nice! do you know how much it weighed before and after?
What’s the last song called
Did you guys end up selling the van after all? And if so was it worth it at the end ????
Was that single core cable you uaed?
Great van build!
V E R Y cool Vanbuilt and if you cont.that way . . . all the BEST with you and your business! Looks GREAT 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🚐🚌🚐🚌🌲⛰🏔
Nice Job !! I hope it sells !! 👍
How much $ for the Camper ?
I see the listing has been closed. Is the van sold?
Hi. Great video and beautiful van. Do you mind telling me what type of LED lights you’ve installed on the ceiling?
Why didn't you show the end result instead of showing your assess?
Any update on sale, cost, profit??
We have a video coming out this Sunday :)
Talented young couple...
Approximately how much would i be saving if i decide to go this route rather than buying manufactured van camper?
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.
Great. Inspirational 🎉. Thx
Kindly show the entire finished renovation. Seems you did a great job.
Do we not get to see the finished article?
Why didn’t you show the finished result? 🙄
Cause they don’t want your crusty eyes seeing it😒
Thanks for this comment now I’m gonna avoid giving them a view. I hate when they make people waste time with this videos
What is the size of roof area (solar) for this van?
Un trabajo fantástico, pero como yo siempre he tenido aversión al trabajo físico y al bricolage, pues...me la tendría que comprar nueva. 😃
Good Job guys.. 😊😍
one day you guys need to build me one
Such a beautiful build!
Yea great video up until the end. Ever see a great movie only to be disappointed at the end? Did you purposely forget to add the "before and after" big finish? Or are we supposed to mentally put it together ourselves from the bits n pieces of the video?
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. 💞🐈🐈

Thank you!! Haha they're excited for us to finish the airstream so we can get back out on the road for some trips :)
How incredibly inspiring! 🏔🚐💨
that floor it gets down with extreme temperatures
where are they located?
Where did you two learn these amazing skills?? Good luck in your new venture.
You can see from this video the high quality of the build. So much better than some of the mass produced stuff.
Do I need prime to build one myself?
What happened to Jay's hand??? 3:32
