This video is so endearing to me. My partner and I live in a homebuilt truck camper that he built about 9 months before I came to meet him. And to see all the work he went through before I arrived on the scene really touches my heart.
wish i could find someone like her who is adventurous so we could go all around Australia once in my life. great video. i will sure add this in my bucket list.
Im at minute 3:37 of watching this video and I just had to stop and post, that you are both an inspiration and an example of good hard work and its results….Adelante!
Very awesome build and choice of music! Saw John Craigie at Oregon Country Fair a few weeks ago and have been in love since. Glad to find others who share that love for Craigie! :)
You are blessed beyond measure friend,,, to have a wife to work on it with you and to have other friends that will help out!!!!! A job WILL DONE!!!!! Looks GREAT!!!
Wow. Amazing job! Clip was fun to watch with a great backing track too. Hope you have many happy times in that beautifully built camper. You've certainly earned them.
One of the best Sprinter Van Conversion videos I've seen on You Tube! Love the team work and simplicity of materials too. All the best in your travels! Cheers!
Great little how-to video, and fantastic soundtrack !. I really enjoyed it and picked up lots of useful tips seeing i am a complete rookie when it comes to this stuff. I was actually thinking of hiring a person here and there to tackle certain jobs but now that i have seen your video, I am quite confident i can tackle most all of what I want to have done by myself. I look forward to the challenge and being able to say that i converted it by myself....will make me appreciate my home away from home all the more.....happy wanderings !!!
Nice to see there are still some cool women out there, that likes to build stuff, instead of those "daddy's little princesses", that doesn't even know how to wipe a car dashboard with a microfiber towel. Respect earned right there! 👍
Wow saving this for when I do this someday! Thank you for listing all the parts and stuff that is so helpful. The build looked awesome. Also I LOVED the music.
This is really amazing guys! Im adding a large topper to my F350 dually and building out my nomad room before we hit the road! Thanks for this inspiration!
Sweet! I own a Eurovan but Have always Daydreamed about converting a Sprinter Van; fab to see you do it. Will watch for more... Wonder what issues you find arising over time... Moisture etc....LOVED the music; turned us on to a new musician too! Enjoy the road ahead!!!
Nice job guys, you have given me some great ideas for my sprinter, time-lapse is always funny, it never really shows just how difficult and frustrating some jobs , nice to see you are both still together lol, safe travels :-)
Really cool video and conversion, thanks for sharing. They use a different lay out when converting Sprinters in Australia but I really like your lay out. Its given me lots of ideas for when I finally get my own. Thanks again mate and happy travels.
I love the wood paneling and the bed storage. I'm a big guy so leaning towards a U-Haul type van but this would be awesome to as far as economic. looking forward to your updates.
A friend of mine has one and I've been working on it from time to time. It's the longest sprinter chassis with the highest clearance roof. It has a refrigerator, microwave oven, 2 ceiling fan vents, an escape hatch (ceiling 24" x 24"), a satellite dish, 3 large batteries, 2 different size inverters, a shower, 5 video cameras with a dvd recorder, 2 fresh water tanks, water heater, etc. etc. The 3 batteries and 1 fresh water tank/water pump are under the floor...you might want to figure our if you have some space you can use under the floor, but you already got your sub-floor and flooring in.
I don't have photos or video, but at one time he and I were making a video showing all the features and how to operate everything. He's also a little paranoid of people knowing what all is in his van because he's concerned someone will try and steal stuff. He has an alarm system and I installed 5 video cameras and a DVR.
WOW... hard to believe you did all that in 11 minutes and 11 seconds! - What do you guys charge an hour? This really was a great video... I also saw a great working "relationship" that I'm guessing reflects your relationship as a whole. Wish you guy lots of fun, adventure... safe travels and many fond memories!
Nice job! I was hoping you would continue with the video series as segments. Your videos had more specific information than the others that I've watched. It would have be nice to see some of the details of the solar panels, wiring and kitchen build.
Have no fear! The other videos are in the works. They take much much longer to make, and since I'm on the road right now it throws another wrench into things. However, I'll be hopefully putting some more videos out by the end of the month :) Stay tuned!
What a great build. I was gonna do a van but was too chicken to build it alone. I opted for a tiny tiny house on wheels....I subbed and I'm looking forward to following your journey and run into you down the road!
Great job! Love how you use so much wood! Gives a real "nature" vibe And love the solar panel of course! Still waiting on the first solarpowered cars to be mass produced haha
Wow, you guys have the skills. That build looks really high end, very nice. I wonder about ventilation. I saw the fan, is that enough? Like in the summer will that be enough. Light as well, what will you do about natural light? Just get what you get from the front windows? Even with those things, really awesome job. Janice
I'd imagine it would all have to do with where theyre at and when. if they have the doors open and some fans going while parked in the shade summer wouldn't be bad. now parked in the sun with doors closed with no fan would probably suck.
I hate videos like this!! Ya'll make it look so easy :D Even tho I have zero skills or knowledge on how to this, you def got me motivated to try. Cause how else is it every going to happen? Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks! You too. I have a few years to do the research, I want to travel across America for a year, but just watching everything about converting vans and whatnot. Trying to see if it is possible to do it on electric. I'm sure it will be a lot of planning but can't wait! Take care and good luck to you too!
almost perfect, amazing craftmanship, hard work by both. gret music, editing and camera work But once again - no toilet. Why oh why do so many van dwellers forgo this? Everyone say they want to be self sufficent but then have to "borrow" services.
This video is so endearing to me. My partner and I live in a homebuilt truck camper that he built about 9 months before I came to meet him. And to see all the work he went through before I arrived on the scene really touches my heart.
The best part of this, is watching you TWO do this project TOGETHER!! Looks like you two are an awesome couple.
wish i could find someone like her who is adventurous so we could go all around Australia once in my life. great video. i will sure add this in my bucket list.

Very awesome build and choice of music! Saw John Craigie at Oregon Country Fair a few weeks ago and have been in love since. Glad to find others who share that love for Craigie! :)
He's great! I'm stoked to be spreading his music a bit too :)
One last thing, thank you for introducing the music of John Craigie. It's exactly what I needed in my life right now! Have a wonderfully great day!
this is definitely one of the videos that inspired me to take the plunge. West Coast vanlife awaits me. Thank you for the inspiration
So, do it to me ....
Jorge Ducci ??
So how did it?
Very cool build and super to see a woman involved in the pride of a build. Have loads of fun and great memories.
The best part about this video is that they’re working as a team! Great build you guys!
I've been binge watching these van conversion videos for the last couple of weeks and this is the best van I've seen. Stunning!
You are blessed beyond measure friend,,, to have a wife to work on it with you and to have other friends that will help out!!!!! A job WILL DONE!!!!! Looks GREAT!!!
it looks beautiful you guys did a good work!!
I noticed that THEESE guys took at least 21 FULL DAYS to complete this work
Wonderful coverage of build!! Great craftsmanship. I love how you both had equal participation! Good luck & enjoy!!!

Do it! Making your project your own is super rewarding :)
I really love the fact that you guys obviously know what you're doing (well, maybe, maybe not.)
Ebonie Lyon ok
Amazing short. Moved by your collaboration and creativity. Thanks so much for sharing. Life is alright, ain't it...
Guys, great job. It's so wonderful to see how well you can cooperate. Amazing.
Really appreciate the list of materials used in the description, thank you for sharing your experience !
Miguel Flores you're welcome! Good luck out there!
Wonderful video and build!! I don't think I've ever seen a woman so hands-on in a build before! Very inspiring!
You guys are awesome, skill and working together, that is lasting times.
Holy.......................crap. Best build out video I have ever seen. Great job.
Nice to see there are still some cool women out there, that likes to build stuff, instead of those "daddy's little princesses", that doesn't even know how to wipe a car dashboard with a microfiber towel. Respect earned right there! 👍
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've watched many builds but rarely do they include the price of it. Awesome build.
Thanks :)
gypsi h
Wow saving this for when I do this someday! Thank you for listing all the parts and stuff that is so helpful. The build looked awesome. Also I LOVED the music.
Alex & Cassidy glad you liked it! Check out John Craige! He is amazing and a friend of mine 😅 good luck with your future build out!
Nice work, both on the conversion and the team work. Nice to see a couple working together on things. Good Luck in all you do. God Bless.
This is really amazing guys! Im adding a large topper to my F350 dually and building out my nomad room before we hit the road! Thanks for this inspiration!
Good luck to you!
If you do all the work ? That accomplishment is priceless
Sweet! I own a Eurovan but Have always Daydreamed about converting a Sprinter Van; fab to see you do it. Will watch for more... Wonder what issues you find arising over time... Moisture etc....LOVED the music; turned us on to a new musician too! Enjoy the road ahead!!!

Thanks for sharing! I really like the countertop. I hope you get to enjoy it for many thousands of miles.
Awesome job and even more awesome to see a couple working together on a project like that.
So nice, can't even describe with words. I'm really jealous
Awesome video, awesome music, and awesome conversion. Happy trails!
Really cool video and conversion, thanks for sharing. They use a different lay out when converting Sprinters in Australia but I really like your lay out. Its given me lots of ideas for when I finally get my own. Thanks again mate and happy travels.
Thanks! :)
You might like "sprinter van diaries" lay out or their ideas as well.

That's a beautiful build, hope you both have lots of lovely times, great to watch, from a fellow bus lover in the uk..
Thanks! :)
Such a cute space!! Great filming/ time lapse.
The work and detail you put into the sub-floor and insulation is amazing.
In Australia, we just throw a bed in and get going :)
brilliant work! looks like a really comfy place to hang between travels!
Good job! It's beautifull to see you working together as a team !
Beautiful! You two are hard workers. Enjoy your trips.
I love the idea how bed can be used as sofa as well.. Genius !
Valdis Ozols
Nice work guys!! Love all the storage, front and back. also the recline "sofa" cheers!
Awesome and with a price list and product list, you guys rock!!
Great build, great photo shoot, great music!!!
Thanks!

Great teamwork! I love it. Enjoy!
Thanks for the playlist. While watching, I was hoping the music would be referenced. And you did.
Thanks!
pretty cool conversion, hell of a job. Minor adjustments needed but pretty frickin awesome.
that's one BIG project. I'm thinking about building my own sprinter,.. but on second thought... haha
congratulations Kaya, and you husband. I impressed with your worked, its work of dreams, i very happy. congratulations.
Awesome video, awesome conversion, and that is a great song, I never heard of before but it was awesome good job guys!

This is my newest dream... what a beautiful build.
WOW.....Amazing job love the insulation sound proofing material.
This is the best thing I have ever seen!
love your build! we also own a Sprinter, but the only thing we did was some roof insulation, a roof vent and a removable bed frame.
Thanks very much! It's not too late to do more :)
totaly love'it, awesome work you guys did there and all toguether. its awesome to have someone that shares the same passion for the things you do

Great job! Love how you use so much wood! Gives a real "nature" vibe
And love the solar panel of course!
Still waiting on the first solarpowered cars to be mass produced haha
I wish! When I tell people all our electricity is solar power, sometimes they think I mean the van itself is solar!
Very very nice guys, have fun traveling the world rent free.
Enjoy guys, great team you are !
Just found your video. Love it! Enjoy all your hard work out on the open roads.
You guys make a great couple, take care.

It's plenty ok ? Can you do better ? No so shut up

I wish they would answer or someone with something worthwhile to say. Thanks for nothing. I wonder so I ask. Janice
OK SORRY

Dee Gee
Thanks, I didn't even consider that. Some places are kind of cool even in July so location definitely matters. Thanks!! Janice
