    Love this DIY! So inspirational when people start with a clean slate and let their imagination run! Great video. Thanks for sharing!!!

    He's a very common sense smart man. A build at its purist, and I love it. It will grow with his ideas, since nothing is set in stone. Also, a very heartwarming lesson in being happy with what you have and being proud of what you can do. I think that's the secret of a wonderful life. It's easier and good when you have the money, but it's more rewarding when you don't.
    Happy Holidays from your biggest Texas fan! 💚❤️

    Don't ever apologize for having to do it on a budget, there's lots of innovative thought there to be proud of! For someone like me who is torn between a van and a small class C / B+, that is the perfect size vehicle! Thanks for the tour. Happy New Year to you both!

    I built my rig the same way. I did have a basic design in mind, but I really just had to start in the front and get that done before deciding on exactly what to do in the back of the rig. Mine isn't perfect, either, but it fits my needs. 👍

    This guy has his eyes on the prize.
    I see other people that spend 3-5 years and thousands$ building a fancy rig and I'm thinking Why? Was it your goal to build a fancy rig, or was it your goal to travel? And, for the money they spent, they could have bought a brand-new commercially made rig. In my eyes those people spent 3-5 years *Not traveling, and *Not realizing their goal.
    This guy however, got an efficient build done, cheaply and quickly and is realizing his goal of traveling. Good on 'ya!

      Maybe Facebook is checking up on me from TH-cam. I wasn't looking for a Chinook.
      I have been looking at used Pleasure Way older Sprinter ones. Waiting for the price to come down a little.

    I guess different strokes for different folks. From my perspective this guy took one of the best built rvs of its time and totally destroyed it to the point it has none of the charm of the original Chinook. Premium craftsmanship to a total hack job. On a positive note I love his spirit, and his focus. Ultimately he living life, his way and not on focused on how nice his RV looks. Still, as a woodworker for 50 years and someone who really appreciates craftsmanship I totally cringe when I see how this thing was butchered.
