    With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!

    This is probably one of the most gorgeous sprinter builds I have ever seen. Tonnes of inspiration for my own! I love how open feeling it is, while still being highly functional.

    This is by far my favorite van conversion. Simple, homey, comfortable, open, and has so many stories to share. Well done!

    I'm very much into the Off-Grid lifestyle. My wife is five years from retirement, and we have talked about traveling a lot for about 2-3 years after that. I personally want to do a build similar to yours, but for myself, I would go a bit more spartan.
    That being said, I think you have done a WORLD CLASS BUILD! The woodworking is FABULOUS! Have you considered putting a couple of flat Solar Panels on the roof for power in the boondocks?

    Long time subscriber, these videos are the highlight of each and every week, favorite youtuber by far (and I watch a lot of youtubers). I wish you did more than one video per week but I get that each video is a lot of time and effort. These are TV show quality videos! :)

    Just saw a nice sprinter conversion of another couple yesterday on YT. They had a gap in the middle of the bed to double as benches along the sides, like you guys. But, instead of having wood backing for the seat cushions along the wall, the backing was a nice, long dinner table mounted on a pistoned support pole that pushed down (like a toilet paper spool) into place and locked, for the cushions to go back on it for the bed. Brilliant!

    Cool van love all the personal touches and the beautiful wood work you did an amazing transformation. More and more people are going small with happy results - you two are very smart not to settle down into the matrix. As long as you got wifi life is good.

    @FirstLast-cl6dq 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm incredibly jealous of the van! It looks like it must have taken ages to convert into such an awesome space. Also loved the message at the end - I agree that you don't always need a plan and sometimes have to just go for what you want to do.

  • @timborgenheimer949
    @timborgenheimer949 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Awesome job on the build. This is true freedom, not slaving the 9 to 5, and only getting two weeks vacation per year.
    I am only a short time from this freedom also..

    WOAH I remember when we had the same number of subscribers. I had a break from vlogging and you stayed commited. If that doesn't show hard work pays off, I don't know what does. Officially starting vlogging again. Bring on 2017!

    Would love to have this with my husband and my dog ! Travel , nature , freedom ! Started pillion riding with him two years ago within and outside India and now the job and still life at home suffocates .Want to be on the road all the time ! If you have health and grit ,and of course whatever money you require , it is a great life ! But not out of compulsion ,only choice .

    Loved Pete and Tay's song (1:29) so much, I took the liberty of transcribing the lyrics for those who want to sing along:
    Life is a blur, just a moment in time
    I'm damned if I waste it just standing in line
    Tip toe around and expect to take flight
    So open your eyes and start living your life
    So where should we go?
    Iiiiiii don't know
    Where are we now?
    Iiiiiii don't know
    Living for hours, and we've seen the sunset
    We've done it alright, ooooh
    We've had our highs and we've had our lows
    Maybe we'll find, ooooh

    Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring, so, live for today, in the moment with a plan and focus on working things out. Just like you said, your gonna make mistakes but that's how we learn and move forward in a positive way. Embracing uncertainty is having faith that you will reach your goal. Well said, love yourself, be kind to others. Love the music and songs. Oh, the van build is a reflection of your vision. Love the double doors, I would never have thought of making it work, but really gives a very unique style and l lets in a ton of light. Makes me wonder if you have thought about your next build? Wish you guys the love and happiness!
