God bless you in all of your Journey Chad. I'm literally in tears seeing your growth from Vanagon to a Sprinter. Thank you for sharing your travels with us. I may not see those places in this lifetime but your videos makes us feel like we're there too.
Damn Chad...from conception to the final product, the van is damn impressive. The fact that you have the superb video editing and story telling skills to relay it all is just next level.
Hi I think it’s absolutely amazing your van my name is Billy I’m a wild camper in Scotland I have a 29 foot motorhome six wheels four tons and I’m thinking of doing a sprinter four-wheel-drive great ideas you give me keep on posting brother and keep the camping going wild is the way
I’m so freaking stoked for your Sprinter Van. Those off-road modifications and those big beautiful tires make all the difference. I can’t wait to see a full on break down of the exterior and interior of your new Sprinter Van. I know you vloged pretty much the entire Van build but I’d still love to see an in-depth break down of the vehicle. I also can’t wait to see all the new adventures you’ll be going on with your new lean mean off-roading machine!
the only one on youtube i keep waiting for him to drop a video... now it's time to hit the road and show us the beauty of north Washington during this spring
Man. You're the luckiest man in Earth. Do you know how many thing would I change from your beast??? Exactly. ZERO. You deserve it. Share your adventures with us.
Thank you for sharing the series of videos showing us the transformation of your Mercedes Sprinter to a world wide journey vehicle. We cant wait to travel along with you on your fantastic, life inspiring adventures. Chad, your Living The Van Life channel is amazing!!!
I think this is the moment for you the best off all the VAN build !💯 I’m really happy for you ! You’re the best and you deserve it ! My friend stay safe and healthy !👍👍👍💯💯
The only opening that i want to hear right now is ' Hey Guys, this is Chad from living the van life youtube channel and we are here in the snowy mountains of wilderness'..
Wow what a van your videos are just awesome. I couldn't sleep this morning so I went on u tube and come across one of your videos. totally chilled me out thankyou for your hard work.
I was very happy when you were able to shop for a brand new van and proud when you choose Mercedes. I owned quite a few of them and they are my favorite cars. Congratulations on completing the build and such an awesome result. Cannot wait for all the content to come. Stay safe outhere Chad!
Saving up money as we speak for a van / truck to get into this. Haven’t stopped watching your videos and other videos for the last 6 months. Gonna be a while until I can afford one, but I can’t wait.
I absolutely loved how you scripted the opening of this video. This could easily have been a boring (to me) vid about van gears and car parts, but the personal stories you opened with, coupled with the always superb filming and editing you did, and then tying the contents of the video back to the "why" behind the mods you did--to seek adventures --captured my attention from start to finish.
before vanlife became popular, it was about freedom, travel, minimal inexpensive living now it seems to be about people building vans & flexing about their fancy, expensive, complicated rigs
Love the videos. I’ve been over landing in my Jeep Gladiator for several years. As I approach retirement, I have a decision to make on a 144 or 170. I will be keeping my Gladiator to reach those areas that only a fully capable 4x4 can go. Mostly I am solo in my Gladiator. I have young grandchildren that approaching the age I can start taking trips with them. I’ve decided to go with a modular system from Adventure Wagon and a pop top so I can sleep and travel with 4 people comfortably, or 6 with a little bit of modularity. 90% of the time I’ll be alone, but out for 30 days or more at a time, towing my Can Am. My plan is store the can am and trailer around the country while I’m cruising around and don’t need it. I have a full understanding of what I can expect with the capabilities of a van. My rig will have AWD and rear lockers with an Agile Suspension. Sooooo. With your experiences now fully documented, do you believe the 170 would be to big of a vehicle for what you are doing 90% of the time. Thx for any input
Any thoughts on adding a snorkel kit? Looks awesome and I can't wait to see what's next! Thank you for all you do and the inspiration to get out there and explore!
Absolutely the best informative video of doing a suspension mod to a Sprinter. I have a '20 Winnebago Revel, and have had such a hard time justifying the whole thing. Now I know what I want to do. Awesome vid, and thanks!
The van pushes my buttons. WTG! One rarely sees the extended side panels but I feel they are a good addition. I believe Wings and Wheels have them in their Sprinter and sleep crosswise. What a dream come true for you!!
Holy crap I was like "i recognize this guy" ... Used to watch you when you had way less subs, so stoked to see you're OVER 500k!!! Hell yea brother, awesome van, glad to have found you again.
Awesome! Its like a Life Size Tonka Truck or Military Tank the way it takes the back country. Can't wait to see the finished inside, another one of your yummy meals, & where you go next.
Bro.. great gawdam videos! Your production from cinematography to audio is outstanding! ... Makes for a great watch... Look'n forward to some adventures in that badass van... Bravo!
I was watching the behind the scenes video you did. That's some hard work buddy. Now when I see a shot of the van flying down the highway I think he's gotta stop and go back and collect the camera now. It hits me how much actual running you must do. No wonder you get a decent meal you've earned it. Sadly some of the fantastic foods you use I can't find in the UK. Wish I was back in Montana now.
Van is ready. You are ready. We are ready. Let the adventures begin!

No! the twin propellers are being fitted next week.

So legit Chad. The van, the video, the progress made. Chapter 2 begins. p.s. kudos to the crew over at Van Compass.
Damn Chad...from conception to the final product, the van is damn impressive. The fact that you have the superb video editing and story telling skills to relay it all is just next level.
I couldn't have said that any better. Than van looks awesome and with each video his storytelling skills keep getting better.
don't forget about the camera angles
That van is outstanding, I love it. Other van lifers are building cabins houses etc now, Chad builds the baddest van on the planet. Sweet AF

I’m so happy for you! Been watching your old videos from 8 years ago. Look at you now!! You deserve this! Keep on truckin!
I was waiting for a new video for soo long I literally screamed YAYYYY 🙌🏽

I'm thoroughly addicted to this channel. I get so happy when living the van life man post a video
You have no clue how awful it feels to wait until your next video comes out. You're the best TH-cam content creator on planet Earth.
^^what he said
@@deepsix1827 🤣🤣
You need to do some deep introspection as to why you have nothing in your life but waiting for a TH-cam video.
The best video I’ve seen on adding the Vancompas suspension and other accessories. Very nice van build.
You have elevated every aspect of your content, with exceptional amounts of effort. Very nicely done! I really appreciate your channel.
Man. You're the luckiest man in Earth. Do you know how many thing would I change from your beast??? Exactly. ZERO. You deserve it. Share your adventures with us.
This is tight, please keep, keeping us posted. I love these videos you make
Congrats dude, I’m a big fan - my wife and i have been watching you for a while and are super stoked to tag along on this next chapter.
It just keeps getting better and better. You‘re really raising the stakes with this one👍🏼

Chad, you are by far, the best producer of TH-cam videos! We can never get enough!
Sick sick sick sick, you don’t make videos often but by god when you do.....ultimate content. Thanks man 👍
This Sprinter is bad ass! Very nicely done!
Amazing editing skills, awesome scenery, Les Stroud -esque presenter, brand new Mercedes off-road monster....
Netflix has entered the chat.

That van is looking badass brother.
Dude, I am always blown away by the quality of the video. Those shots are amazing! The van is amazing! You're amazing!!!
The only opening that i want to hear right now is ' Hey Guys, this is Chad from living the van life youtube channel and we are here in the snowy mountains of wilderness'..
I know huh?
I second that.
I third that.
I second that!
I fourth that 😁😁

You skills at production and editing are way beyond all your fellow TH-camrs!!! David and Juanita
By far the best vanlife video I’ve ever seen
Now all you need is to get that Sweet Lady back over here from Australia ❤❤
Absolutely can't wait to see this beast in action!
Hi Chad. It was neat seeing family photos from when you were just a little kiddo! 😁
I was very happy when you were able to shop for a brand new van and proud when you choose Mercedes. I owned quite a few of them and they are my favorite cars. Congratulations on completing the build and such an awesome result. Cannot wait for all the content to come. Stay safe outhere Chad!
I can't wait to see more campfire cooking. I've really missed it.
I think your days of stealth camping are over in that beast !!!.....cant wait for the next episodes ...missed you man ...bigtime
The fact I just drove on the same roads as you a week ago is pretty cool
Saving up money as we speak for a van / truck to get into this. Haven’t stopped watching your videos and other videos for the last 6 months. Gonna be a while until I can afford one, but I can’t wait.
Freaking awesome van dude!
I am happy for you!! That Van is AWESOME!! I look forward to seeing where you take us!!
So....Moab trip and grand Tetons trip 2.0? Can’t wait for winter videos and so excited to see how this beast does 👍🏻👍🏻

You got my vote, I just can’t imagine how much that conversion cost??
more than 16K just for the battery bank
An amount that one else can afford

This is starting to look real cool! Excited for the trips to come. Good luck man, respect!
Chad, did you make changes in programing, add a chip or change gears to adjust for 35" tires?
Great question! I would like to know as well.
This rig is an absolute beast. I was not expecting this build to be so epic. Can't wait for the final walk through and the adventures to come!
I was not expecting you to build your van to this extreme. Quite the off-road vehice when complete.
Absolutely the best informative video of doing a suspension mod to a Sprinter. I have a '20 Winnebago Revel, and have had such a hard time justifying the whole thing. Now I know what I want to do. Awesome vid, and thanks!
Congrats brother, i’m really happy for you, the sprinter look awesome, keep it going!

Thank God that you posted this video
Your vlogs are such an inspiration. Thank you so much Chad.
Thank YOU for watching.
I came here for information about the van but got so so much more! Thanks Chad!
I honestly waited for this video 3 weeks!! So happy to be here
Holy crap I was like "i recognize this guy" ... Used to watch you when you had way less subs, so stoked to see you're OVER 500k!!! Hell yea brother, awesome van, glad to have found you again.
Those BFs with that lift have turned the Sprinter into a great looking adventure van
Can’t wait to start my sprinter build. This is exactly what I have in mind. That winch bumper is so sexy
loving the discovery channel style documentary to this; reminds me of when i used to watch fast and loud and stuff like that, awesome dude
Awesome! Its like a Life Size Tonka Truck or Military Tank the way it takes the back country. Can't wait to see the finished inside, another one of your yummy meals, & where you go next.
It’s my first time watching one of your vids. Production quality and camera work is impressive. I’ve subscribed.
saw that you posted a video immediately threw everything down that I was working on to watch the video. cant wait till this beast is done.
Wow what a Machine.The best I've seen for sure.Great job
Real life, real people, real feelings and real experiences... so different from everyday's office life!
Those BFs when that lift have turned the Sprinter into a great looking adventure van
It’s so bad ass looking! Can’t wait for the adventures!
Let the adventures roll in the “ Beast”. A real beauty Chad.

The reveal shots were SOOOO sick! Beautiful van!

You've come a long way man. Love u bro.
It sure is a beast. Love the style of this video, feels like a tv show.
My vanagon is in a bad way after its recent trip to wales.

Congrats on the van!! hope the adventures never cease to amaze you :)
The next LTVL chapter gonna be FIREE!!!!
Such a badass video! (I think this is my favorite to date) Excited for more content and more upgrades to the interior of the van!
"Driving South" and lovin' it.
