You should have named the sprinter van Vanilla ice.
u guys are amazing people helping out this young lady ... wavs hi from australia ... dont worry about the haters ....there not worth shit
Bruh I'm not even that interested in cars but this guy keeps me so engaged in the video. Class content creator 👏
that random big booty shot helps
Lol... facts
@@TurboBMRProjectLove yeah that sprinter van was really something.
Van? I didn't see any vans
Same here, donut media does it for me too.
"A deer was so disgusted by seeing this thing on the road, it ran directly into the van and ended her trip, prematurely." 🤣
The deer tried but died.
double entendres?
The first 4 minutes of this video had me crying.
@@DannerBanks for real dude that whole recap was ridiculous 💀
Lmfao
Leenda is a massive asset to the channel
Maybe her ass lmao
@william hodge I wonder what her IG is
@@HabibiTV04 leenda Lucia. You'll be happy
She has several assets invested into this channel
i don’t even like cars , im here for leenda
You should've left the "Dangerous When Wet" sign on for Leenda
Dangerous curves ahead, MEOW!!!!
Rich is real smooth with transitioning into a commercial while stealing your candy bar.
He’d advertise the chocolate he stole from you and you’d be interested.
I pay $10 a month for YT red, i manually skip all paid for ads lol. Shits annoying af. A few clicks later and it's gone.

Powerwashing the inside of a generic white van in the middle of the night is not suspicious at all
Underrated comment
No officer, we are not cleaning out the back of this van after we used it to kidnap and murder a Tesla fanboy who wouldn't stop complaining in the comments about putting a V8 in a Model S.
@@slightlycrookedworkshop lmmfao
Didn't get it first but if you think about it lol
No shit. Nothing to see here sir
LOL, people actually blamed YOU for her buying a POS that shouldn't have ever seen road miles again? Yep, makes sense.
This may actually be one of my favorite series you make. I love van life videos and have been watching a couple build a house with NO experience and it's just been fascinating. I hope you list this as a series so I can find the videos easier, especially with youtube not recommending videos so I miss some. Please consider posting ALL the videos for each part of the build. They are fascinating and will be watched by many people down the road that want to do this too, or are into learning like I am. I think this is the main reason I like your videos. I like learning the things you choose to update/fix. Can't wait for more videos and excited to see how this turns out!
As a blind fan I'm happy to hear that you gave Ray Romano an opportunity to help with your van
Why take out the partition? Looks like it would be perfect to separate the driver compartment from the living area.
for reals
Open floor plan living is trendy ;)
This. You might want to keep those parts. Really helps with stealth camping.
I thought the same thing, but then realized that it might be adding more weight than necessary being that it was made from a brick sh*thouse.
@@barrow_me it's probably made out of aluminium
"A deer was so disgusted by seeing this thing on the road, it ran directly into the van" 😂😂😂 that was a good laugh
😂
Glad I watch this because I’ve been looking at the conversions for years, and nobody ever addressed this issue.
rich rebuilds the only person to have 2 sponsors and just make it funny
LA is the only place you can find a girl you think is out of your league when the whole time she’s actually homeless
Amen
Now after she will get this new van she will park right next to her boss house to be grateful and closer to him and to be able to come faster when he ask for her right ? ;0)
you gotta be really naive to think that this girl actually lives in a van :D
I think it was just a plot joke. She might not be homeless
@@DonkeyDongs Who cares who is who ? it is funny as hell and nothing is going to change since they started these 🔥 jokes so yeah.. we all are being left watching this channel or Sam Crac-channel and have fun.. 😂🤣 specially in such harsh pandemic times that is really good for people to be connected, close to each-other, entertained and eventually if healthy is not possible at least happy. Stay safe and enjoy watching these clips..
Yessssssssssss Vanlife.Cant wait for the Chinese diesel heater episode.
Lmao I just bought one for my shed for my baby animals and laugh all you want it’s sweeeet

Thanks man for helping her out, I can honestly feel what's going on in her life.

an RV girl???
Rich continues his reign as the king of sponsor integrations
What sponsor integrations? I didn't see any 😂.
Yeah, but raycons are crap :/
@@coccoborg But that's like, your opinion man.
Undisputed!!! Also the headphones are awesome. I get a good 8 hours out of them
wont be long till its just one back to back sponsored integration
off-grid rv living skyrocketed = 'ya'll becoming homeless astonishing quickly'
they prefer the term *"mobile-homeless"*
I've been telling people for years that eventually parking lots will be where most working people will eventually live. It's going to get so much worse before it gets better.
@@PamSesheta Everything will be back to normal in 18 months. The new normal that is.
@@Br1anuk Yeah, with people living in parking lots...
@@Br1anuk lol
oh man, looking forward on the next episode. Love people like you Rich who are willing to help out even a homeless person, God bless you.
You choose well to help her. She gets more hits than you could ever dream of. I knew you would do it you're a good person. Here we are!
Uncle rich the type of guy to not give his fans humvee content.
He just knows if he is going to maje what u ask the wievs is doomed, assistent gives him good wievs so thaths why he helps her

It already had DOT warning signs for flammable gas and radioactive. I think she's covered.
You are amazing. I just bought a Sienna, a cot & a 5 gallon bucket for this very purpose.
Love this new project! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
"working on a laptop she hasnt logged into" im dying xD
I used to be able to watch this channel with my wife in the room. . .
she sounds insecure
You don't want her panties to get sodden?
I mean I can understand why. Its pretty loud and I can understand why that would be annoying. I can't think of any other reason that you would not be able too not watch this with your wife
@@jeetadityachatterjee6995 lmao
@@doug350zTT you sound single
Shout out to Rich! I have been familiar with him, just started really watching all of his stuff. Sharp dude, and I respect the hustle.
No channel makes me question the delineation between fiction and non-fiction like @richrebuilds!
22:22 is a time loop
fire the editor
same shit happened in tommyfyeahs video today too.. is this some elaborate inside joke or yall just know im high
It looped so smoothly that it was honestly impressive in itself
I'd keep the indoor partition. Better to have more privacy.
Yes i was thinking about this too but you can swifel the gront seats and put adesk behind them this way. Then just put a curtain so u can close it. Also dont forget that there are no windows...
...and security
@@D3nn1s curtain is a big give away that the van is used as dormitory. And that can cause some parking issues. Better to use some dark
shutters and tint windows.
@@tawensan7162 yes. It also allows to make an inside extra lockers do the rear and side doors.
@@RogerM88 just use a black curtain? I would have left the fedex stickers on too.
I love how Rich lets us believe fed ex actually takes care of their trucks.. lmao
honestly a lot of these companies take very good care mechanically of their vehicles now I know you see them rolling down the road all beat up but that's cosmetic under the hood them things are immaculate 90% of the time
ya they may maintain it but I'm pretty sure FedEx drivers are heavier on the pedal than the average tradesman. Plus its stop and go constantly versus driving to one destination
I thought fed ex the drivers bought there trucks kind of like a franchise. When i worked there in high school that was how it was.
@@zwindschz that’s correct. FedEx drivers are subcontractors. These trucks aren’t maintained by fedex themselves.
@@johns6207 They have a governor on the speed. Only go like 67 max.
I love this channel so much... I've been on the webs a while and this is GOLDEN!
I love it when Rich gets hopelessly stuck on a project (Tesla) and can't figure out what to do next 'cause then he parades out more Leenda content. Win win.
Rust comes as standard on a Mercedes van 😂😂😂
They are famous for rusting here in the UK
Mercedes sprinters are very rusty vans.
German engineering ladies and gentlemen
And they are hopeless at wading. Rufford ford videos. Sprinters die all the time. Even if they go gentle.
But the engine will go 500K Miles
She is a beautiful being who I think deserve to have great friends like you guys. Plus she has the cutest butt ever, very blessed! So happy for her to be up graded. God bless!
Can't wait for the next installment. Thanks Richie! Super entertaining!
Why would you take out the partition? SMH
for a single person living in it, i would keep it as well
Because he doesnt understand actual living in a van. I was over here yelling noooooooo
Seriously that was the dumbest fucking move. That was a pretty much bulletproof lightproof barrier. And it would have kept the living compartment warmer.
Yeah I have no idea why he did that, maybe he will reinstall
I too was confused and I have never done the van life. Maybe they have an idea to put something else in there soon, but I doubt it
“Dangerous When Wet” perfect for Leenda
I think it's... Slippery when WET !!!🍑🍒🍆
@@hajileserpud9539 Yeah - and that's dangerous!
Love to how this channel grew so much. Proud of it
You should have left the sliding door in for security when sleeping at night
Hey Rich, you need a separate channel called "Rich My Ride."
Or a youtube video series
Or Netflix deal doing Rich My Ride show, let say 2 million per episode.
@@petertraveller6421 Sold!
yeah i like that idea too
If you put your ear onto a sprinter metal body, you can hear the rust eating it up.
a van down by the river...chris farley is up there smiling
I have to say Rich you are the most humorous and articulate car youtuber out there - greetings from Sydney
Really cool thing to do for Leenda and seeing how this Van turns from zero to hero is going to be pretty awesome. I'm really interested in how the van is going to turn out in the end with so many amazing van builds on the internet already.
I don’t know why they removed the partition she could hang a curtain up but the partition would’ve kept her safer
they may put the partiion back remember they had to dissasemble the entire interior to get to the subframe to see where rust is and to add insulation etc stuff you need to make a rv you cant really do all that with that partition and other shit in the way
@@TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA maybe but I don’t think so, they’re planning on using the seat for another project, I don’t know why they wouldn’t just put it back on if they were going to keep the partition
did you actually watch the video and saw the gaping rustbucket that was hiding under all that dirt?
These things rust like hell man, and before you actually make an RV out of it, you HAVE TO tear them apart, especially beeing a parcel van.
@@02lucy666 Drop the time stamp where they found rust under the partition, either way My point is it doesn’t seem like they’re putting it back on, cause they’re ditching the seat
@@nikkokp How'd they know if there's any rust or not without popping off the partition O.o
Can’t wait to see it finished 👍🏼
I am in love with this build already
He can be a movie writer.. he is a genius.. people should be under training in his place

It's good to see you building something for Leenda. That RV was rough!
I traveled in Australia w/ my wife in a rental camper same brand and model. greatest trip ever
"Wait, it's all ads?"
*"Always has been"* 🔫
Leenda is also a collaboration/ad 😂😂😂😂
I see you a man of culture.
What ads? That is what ad blocker is for lol.
Are you implying that the Deer became so depressed upon seeing the condition of her RV, that it decided to end it all...😂
The deer rage quit.
It is pretty awesome that you are doing this for her!!
The way you slide adverts in is so smooth it cracks me up
22:18 man talked abt the body filler twice and I swear I thought I was trippin
Yeah, looks like they don't check these videos before posting them!
I read this before I saw it and I still thought I was trippin
I thought I accidentally double tapped on the screen to rewind 10secs 🤦
Same 😂😂
Glitch in the Matrix.
The moment your channel came up on my recommendation list I knew it was gold! And you continue to not disappoint 👏🏽🙌🏽👌🏽
Minus the last word that you read, Linda is one of your assets in your work. You are just taking a good care of your employees. And thanks by the way for helping her, I watched your channel on FB from the start, so keep doing what you're doing, Sir Richard. I'm one of your fans here in the archipelagic islands and islets the Philippines.
great video, cant wait for the next one!
Should have left the partition in there. Thats a great safety and privacy feature.. also treat any and all rust on these while its apart. When these start to rust they never start.
Nobody makes me laugh on youtube like Rich.
These vans are actually very reliable if maintained properly, especially with the 651 4cyl. We have a fleet of them at work that are nearing 300,000kms and are still doing great.
Rich if I may suggest
A hide away composting toilet and a center floor shower...
The shower has a lift floor exposing a shower pan with 360 shower curtain... you will save so much space ...also loock into endless shower system as it is extremely popular this days within DIY and RVs minimalist living... for an air conditioning used a split ac with a soft start and 3000 watt disel generator that uses the vehicle's fuel (gas tank)... for solar get victron multiplus 3000 it's a all in one system with a 400 watt battery storage again you will save an incredible amount of space living enough space for a comfortable bed cooking area and a place for her to work.... for heating used a diesel air and water heater, living in the snow areas the heater will have more than enough heat to live in year round.
I do hope you consider my advice as I live in a van my self and wasting so much money trying to find the right combination.
Raycon ad really came outta left field. Rich is a master at ads being perfectly integrated into his videos
This is a awesome van. I'm interested to see how y'all transform it. 👍
Those Sprinters are great vans! I've worked for a taxi company and have done maintenance on tons of them. What a funny thing her RV is named Bertha; we used to have 1952 Magirus Deutz S3500 which we converted to a camper (an RV), she was named Fat Bertha, after the big german train gun.
I like this type of content. She really needed this.

Oh, a VAN! I thought Leenda was from Iran. I must've tuned out while she was talking.
She does look like she might have some Persian in her. Or wants to.
It takes all kinds.
hmmm sounds familiar, IT Crowd :)
We love you uncle Rich, keeping Elon honest
Go check put thunderfoot on yt
I am going to subscribe because you totally got me hooked. please keep filming and recording on your build. I now can't wait till you actually get started on the build!
Man i hate ads with a passion but this dude just transition really smooth into them and does not make me skip them
Smooth, just like his head
You're turning it into a conversion van and you're removing the security partition? WTH?

Good job rich the ice Tesla is a fun middle finger, but the van is super cool, a lot of people are thinking of trying the nomad life and a glimpse of what it takes to get it is fascinating
Your integration of sponsorship ads is amazing! Unmatched by anyone else on TH-cam.

Come on Rich, a real sugar daddy would have got her an apartment!
He's waaaaaay too cheap for that. 😂

Who told you Rich didn't get her one? ;)
Ya want ya side chick to be able to leave and go far away at any point.
