    $70k CAD is about £40k GBP, which when you compare to a brand new VW california, they start at £55k GBP - Awesome value!!! Best MTB'ers van build on youtube!

    • @hf7382
      @hf7382 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yeah but if you are spending £55k on a VW then you need your head testing. Way overpriced and overrated. You could spend £25k and get a much better van.

    • @beemo4

      @@beemo4 You need to think outside the box mate. If you buy a camper van pre made you will always pay way more than a self build. For 25k you could buy a van and convert it yourself. And 25k is a huge budget. Pick up a decent used van for 12k and then spend 12k on the conversion. That would be fitting it out with everything you could imagine to a high standard. I just did my own high quality convertion for less than 10k including buying the van. and wouldn't trade it for a VW. California or not.

    Considering ready made campers based on the Promaster 2500 start at $90K+ USD your van is a great value. You got a van built to address all your needs with far superior workmanship... not a mass built generic camper that has to be adapted. Thanks for giving us a great series of the build out. Great Job VanGo!!!

    Fan bloody tastic! Absolutely love this van build. I have so many likes in all areas of the van.
    I loved how the guys at Vango Conversions (In Squamish, BC) Spent extra time on the finer bits of detail even if you will not be able to see it.
    As is, right now. To Have that build van in my life (with my Scott spark 960) would change my life and way of thinking.
    I could happily live in that, Checking out Canada at my pace is crying out to me.
    This build would give me the ability to roam around and be me.
    Well done Vango Conversions, Good luck and have fun Paul.

    GREAT van build series, although I do have TWO suggestions. Please please please, firstly, get Kitchen rated fire extinguisher for the living cabin and an electrical extinguisher for the garage... Secondly, a vehicle size trauma kit... They make molle pannels that fit the seat backs, you could then put whatever extra pouches you'd like neatly on the seat back. Again great build.

    Questions about the garage: What is the depth?
    I heard that most have them at 60". But I don't see how it would fit. My current 29er hardtail bike measures to be about 63" long and 32" height (with front-wheel removed).
    I plan on getting an enduro bike in the future, or at least having someone else's second bike. I want to be safe when I do have a second bike.
    I was thinking of storing the bike(s) on a sliding tray (like yours) with BOTH bike wheels removed. It would save space on both height and depth, giving me more interior van space.
    Thought on this?

    Love the van builds on any channel but there is always something that bothers me and that is the isolating aspect of such an adventure. Not from a loneliness sense but from a driving somewhere remote to ride a sick trail alone sense. I often think that if your out in the wilderness by yourself should you come off hard where is the help ?. A video on staying safe would be great. Love the vids 👌

      There's literally a whole foods 10 minutes away that everyone hangs at 😂This is just my favourite camp spot this one.

      canis docga: What do you mean by staying safe? From serial killers? From sex starved girls? From porcupines eating your brake lines? Bear? Rodents infiltrating the place that test positive for plague? Curious punters would like to know.

    Hey Paul, am I right in hearing from your videos that you live in Canada? I'd love to hear your story, you seem to have one worth telling. Love the videos. I did a road trip out in Canada last year with a few friends, we travelled from London to Toronto, and then drove out to Vancouver! Got back into mountain biking just a few weeks ago and found your videos, great content.

    You should consider throwing a puck+hasp on your back door. Chrysler locks are notoriously bad. And that way even if they break in the front doors, the bikes are secure

    Very nice build. How high is the space under the bed (garage) and above the bed (matress)? Thx in advance.

    we have electric bikes .... hpw much height did you use with your garage for clearance of your bikes?

    Do those Rockymounts grab on to your front axle hard enough that you can't just remove the axle from the fork? I guess you have no use for the lock in this application seeing how you mounted it using exposed nuts. Makes sense when you lock the entire van when you're not around.

    • @PaulThePunter

      If there's something holding the axle, it won't spin. Thus it is locked.
