- Building a Volkswagen camper van from scratch. For my 30th birthday, my parents handed down this 1978 VW bus. It holds a lot of memories for me, so to give it the love it deserves, I’m rebuilding the camper setup from the ground up. This video is most of that build.

Reed, you really have made a lot for yourself and its always cool to have it shared with others on here. Great big love for sharing local music on your platform as well, hope your pals are digging the exposure.
Sharing music is a crucial part of the human experience, and I'm proud to have a talented musician as a friend!
Such an majestic beast that van is! An absolute dream to do a build such as this!
Hey thanks Lilly! Now if only I had a fridge so I could freeze an apple…
So many life lessons in this project
I tend to find life lessons in every project I do, always more to learn
I really enjoyed your video. You put a lot of work into the camper and the filming/editing. I'm working on my 1971 Typ2 and sometimes I look for inspiration to get me through some of the more mundane jobs. It can be a lonely journey working on a bus for months, but nearly everyone gets joy out of seeing one drive by or being invited in for a drink.
I can certainly empathize with the loneliness aspect of working on an old vehicle. It's a never-ending project, but every small step is rewarding!
FYI, that huge hole you drilled at the bottom of the van / floor of the van, you might want to add a "water strainer" to fit the opening so small animals can's sneak into the van. i.e. mice. Just a suggestion.
Not a bad idea, there's always something to improve!
Love this journey! Beautifully told and I certainly do love the V! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Great bus great re build and what a great story…keep us updated
Much appreciated!
Oregon VW Vans are the best ...
That sure seems to be the case!
Very cool vid, really enjoy the vibe and the tunes!
This one deserves a million views👍🏻
Much appreciated. It was a long build and an even longer editing process, so thanks for the support!
Holy shit a new reed video! Missed you man gonna watch this in one hit
It has been a while for sure! This one was quite the undertaking.
Inspiring video. Gives me some inspiration on my vanagon build. I've been afraid to drill holes in it and "depreciating" it until now. But it's a van and meant to be used and the more creative the better. After seeing you do this its inspired me. Awesome and engaging video.
Hey thanks! That's always been my perspective on possessions: they're meant to be used! Glad I could provide a little inspiration.
for the water pump being loud you can try making a little insulated half box around it maybe
I considered that, it doesn't bother me too much fortunately.
Love it!!!
Thanks Zach!
Fantastic build! The new sink pump and extra counter space are huge practical upgrades. The solar/battery system is the perfect modern touch to your classic, simple camper. Your parents are definitely going to steal Frog back from your driveway once you get that passenger seat swiveling. You’ll be relegated to the loft bed once again.
Thanks Spenser! I appreciate your heavy use of keywords. As soon as that passenger seat is swiveling, I'm taking us boys out for a joyride.
Really nice video!
Many thanks! It was an undertaking, but felt good to make.
Aw man, I just love this so much.
Nice job. Simple and functional. ❤ THE family story. Witch you well and safe travels while making your own memories.
Thanks for hanging around for the full video!
Nice job, but I am waiting for more jetski stuff, with your sense of humor. As you see, people love it more than the other your builds.
Sorry to crush your hopes and dreams, but the jet ski content has come and gone.
You can only discharge and use 80% of a lithium battery and only 50% use of a lead acid battery
I have a 1991 587 GT sea doo and no one has a steering cable for it! I need help finding one or else I'm gonna have to part it out over a freaking steering cable. Any ideas?
