Your channel popped up as a recommended watch and I'm so glad I did. I love your adventurous spirit and creative freedom! Congrats on everything and I wish you the very best! God bless
You are on your way to a great adventurous life together ! Reminds me of my wife and I and our camping trips together. We are still going strong after 40 yrs
- Super simple, yet fun to watch the steps come to completion. I love videos of things getting built. Diresta is one of my new favourite channels to watch for making things inspiration.
hey mate, not bad for a quick conversion. Many are criticising but they are failing to understand the context of the build.. great job in the time available...
Great video. I really like your "use what you've got" attitude throughout the project, and inventivity in constructing. The surprise unveiling was the most adorable thing. Wishing you all the luck in the world.
I watched this ages ago and looking back at it again given the context of your current conversion project is truly powerful. What a story... what a build... and most importantly what a storyteller. Thanks for being such an inspiration.
The way your wife looks at you Levi, you are one very fortunate man. I pray that she looks at you like that for the rest of your lives! Love the van build, very well done on a very limited budget and time frame. Cheers from Tokyo Japan!
You two make an adorable couple and together, you can do anything you want in life. Great job on the conversion! Congratulations on your new life together!
Congrats to both of you, she is a keeper, there are not many young women that would want to spend their honeymoon in a converted camper van, her reaction is PRICELESS, and the build is super nice considering the short time you had, Me and my girlfriend just converted a 16 x 7 cargo trailer into a camper, its taken a year to complete, but it has everything you would want, we are taking a year off from are jobs and just travel every state in America, we both have stressful but very rewarding jobs, I'm a music producer here in Nashville and I own a music video production company, we do all the videos for the big recording artist in Nashville, my work days are 14 hours long and Julia is session singer and musician, she is in very high demand, she just came off the road touring with Carrie Underwood for 8 months, she was a backup singer for Carrie, so we are both looking forward to are new adventures, looking forward to more videos, thanks for sharing a NEW BEGINNING.... posted by Music Media Productions, Nashville
Greetings from England. I love your honesty with the cost of materials and in the last minute wedding preps. The drone use really contextualises the location and the moment. God Bless you and your lovely wife on your adventures.
The both of you are an inspiration and very refreshing. Never lose your enthusiasm for an adventure and each other. Thanks for sharing your many talents.
I love how you achieved the "rustic" look with the wood. I've watched a lot of van conversion videos and that's the first time I've seen that. Very creative and well done! :-D
Dude, Levi that was awesome! I know what it’s like to get married & move into a project of a home. We bought a fixer-upper in January, got married & moved into it in April. I was almost late to our wedding because I was in the final mad dash of getting the bathroom sink & shower to work. When we came home on our wedding night there were still bare studs standing from the walls we were in the midst of ripping out in the kitchen/dining/living room, gaping holes in the ceiling, and the kitchen was all torn apart so we had to go downstairs & wash dishes in the huge laundry utility sink. On the second or third morning, we awoke to the sewer main being backed up & starting to flood the basement. Fun memories for sure! You got a gem of a wife there, buddy. Take good care of her and you’ll keep enjoying all the craziness of adventurous life together. :D
Levi [it is Levi, yeah? Thought I heard your lass calling you that], that was a fantastic effort in so little time and with my favourite material; reclaimed wood/pallet-wood. I have NO doubt that at some point when you have more funds available that you will make an absolute gem of a camper van. Your fiancee's [at the time?] reaction was just perfect. A lot of people - NOT just women - much prefer their creature comforts and whatnot. But she simply and instantly admired what you had achieved in such a short space of time! Now THAT is someone worth being with. Bravo to you for your magnificent effort and to your [now?] wife for her delightful reaction. May you both find peace, great health and that you never lose sight of what is important.
Well done buddy! Just bought the almost exact same van & your videos are great! Your enthusiasm & creativity is such a great example to us all :) Hope all your wedding celebrations went well! All the best from Paris.
you did awesome job and so quick with so much going on thnx for sharing such a special moment with us your a good dude and i see a long and happy life for the two of you CHEERS ps hope you had a great time on the island as a islander we all welcome you!!!!!
Your wife is wonderful. You and she have good HEARTs. You are truly happy people. I hope you all stay HAPPY and HEALTHY, for the rest of your lives. No-Matter-What. . . . Life is good. Congrats!
Wow! Incredibly systematic. I loved watching this, and using the fast edit made it extremely interesting and fun to watch. Very Cool! Really awesome, you did a great job for her.
I gotta give it to you bud, I didn't see it in you and I was so badly mistaking. you got it done in due time and though not what might be expected , but done nonetheless. I especially liked the fast forwards, lmao, too funny. good luck and congrats. and she was graceful and grateful. what a gal
Stoked for all those who get to see this before the public release on left.ly/TV! Let me know if you like the pre-release model with unlisted videos getting emailed early directly to you.
Hey Levi Congrats to you two on getting married. You two were meant to be. Seriously you were. Sounds crazy but you just look right and have this super positive vibe together. There's not many women who would choose to rough it in the back of a truck on their honeymoon. Once again congrats from the UK and keep making vids.
James, I was thinking the same thing. She is a jewel and so is Levi. They seem to complete one another. I love how she's so excited by the love he put into completing their first home.
Levi, great job with the videos, brilliantly-edited. I love the high-speed viewing, especially comical when hammering multiple boards. Very excited to see what comes next. Congrats to both of you.
Well done mate, I'm actually planing to do the same,even more crazy.I'm planing to do the conversion while I'm living in the van. Don't tell me- I know it's a crazy idea ha ha. Good luck to your new family!
i like your use of recycled pallets for the walls and bench. and if you ever want to upgrade to better materials it looks like the way you assembled it could be torn apart and redone easily. good job bud
Wow.. just wow.. you both deserve to be VERY happy Levi! Ohh by the way, I saw you as a boom op. on the dji episode of filmriot! hahaha how that happened!? It would be awesome if you upload some of that BTS. Cheeers from Argentina!
What are the usable dimensions inside the van ? I see the skeleton gives plenty room for insulation in a colder/hotter climate but I'm wondering about practical space for a twin bed, shower etc.
Hello +Leftcoast, your pallet idea looks easy, economic and ideal for someone like me on a low budget, thanks a lot for the ideas and congrats for the marriage. Happy life :)
Nice Work... One question.. Did you check to see what the pallet's where made from.. Some wooden Pallet's have some nasty chemicals in them.. and as I have said I do Like what you have done....
Outstanding work, Levi. I am a huge fan of all things ghetto and would love to do one of these. I do have a few questions. How much does a decent used sprinter go for? I read somewhere that you want to stay away from them once they get much past 150K miles as rebuilds on the benz diesel get crazy expensive and things start to go around 170-180K. I suppose this is dependent on what it was used for it's entire life. If it was a delivery van carrying light loads, it would be OK, but if it was owned by a plumber carrying around 8 metric shit tons of plumber stuff, maybe not. What is the roof height. It looks fine for your lovely bride, but you appear to be stooped over. I wonder how tough it would be to do a roof raise to get the inside height to about 6'2". Maybe it's fine and you are just 6'5". What is the length from rear door to just behind driver seat? I would like to do a "wet bath" (shower with toilet and sink). The footprint for one is about 2.5 x 4 ft. I would run it along the wall behind the driver. So, I would like to have at least 12 ft (bed + bath).
Great questions man. I recommend diving into the Sprint source Forums. amazing info there. I bought my sprinter for 10k CAD. I have to bend over a touch, I am 6' 3". I believe it is almost 12 feet from driver seat to the back door.

hey mate, not bad for a quick conversion. Many are criticising but they are failing to understand the context of the build.. great job in the time available...
Yeah I'm not to worried about the criticising, either someone gets it or they don't. Helps give me new ideas for the future build anyhow.
Great video. I really like your "use what you've got" attitude throughout the project, and inventivity in constructing. The surprise unveiling was the most adorable thing. Wishing you all the luck in the world.
I watched this ages ago and looking back at it again given the context of your current conversion project is truly powerful.
What a story... what a build... and most importantly what a storyteller.
Thanks for being such an inspiration.
I appreciate you Tim!
Again the best van conversion videos ever. The reaction of your fiance when she looked into the van was priceless!!
The way your wife looks at you Levi, you are one very fortunate man. I pray that she looks at you like that for the rest of your lives!
Love the van build, very well done on a very limited budget and time frame.
Cheers from Tokyo Japan!
I wish my xwife had been that easy to please. Good luck to you both. Awesome van.
AWWWW...that was the sweetest reaction , she walked into your first home my God my eyes are misty ♡
You two make an adorable couple and together, you can do anything you want in life. Great job on the conversion! Congratulations on your new life together!
- Thanks for the encouragement!
Your talent in filming is amazing. Best of Wishes to you both and for a lifetime of traveling.

I really like the way it came out. You guys look so sweet together^^
Thanks Levi and Janelle. Blessed seeing you two together. You get a lot of ideas just stay in an empty van Levi.
They only let you put 1 thumb up but I'd give 2 dozen. This man has an amazing heart and mad carpentry skills!
I like it. Great job in production. Love the creativity and hammering!
That was magical. You've captured the magic of love and you married her! That's the way it's done!

Leftcoas
that pallet "paneling" is definitely ghetto..!! It's nice you have a place to do the conversion. Thanks for posting your vids.
+Mallory McGuire - thanks for watching : )
Awesome! Completely awesome! Enjoy it buddy!
AN AMAZING MAN WITH SKILLS AND INTELLIGENCE
That was beautiful wishing you lots of happy travels and much love 💕
Well done mate, I'm actually planing to do the same,even more crazy.I'm planing to do the conversion while I'm living in the van. Don't tell me- I know it's a crazy idea ha ha. Good luck to your new family!
This is beautiful. I'm excited for you and look forward to watching your adventures!
- Thanks for the encouragement. We have already had some great adventures, I just need to get the videos edited!
I like the idea of pallet wood for walls. very rustic.
way better than all the hardware store-wood walls. Ads a lot of atmosphere imo :)
Congrats on your van and your beautiful wife! love how you made use of the pallets!
Cute, Saw the first one... had to search for the second... Her reaction was great. :D
I love her reaction!
that's nice that she like those kind of ideas to enjoy life without worrying about the nicest things.
-I know right
Great conversion! And it cost only
this is sick man, van looks awesome!
Happy about the little things in life, love it!
i like your use of recycled pallets for the walls and bench. and if you ever want to upgrade to better materials it looks like the way you assembled it could be torn apart and redone easily. good job bud
First time I had champagne, you broke my heart! I wish you both the best. Love conquers all!
Awesome video!.
Amazing job you did with those pallets. Congrats!.
So awesome!!! Definitely a feel good flick. Congrats!
Pallets look good! Congrats on getting married & safe travels!
Wow...amazing what you have achieved in such a short time, nice job mate. Be well
great job mate what kind of woodpecker you use lol and wood pallets great idea as you can pick them up free in our country UK can be sanded if need be
Congrats on your first home away from home!
Great video. Love what you were able to do with the inside of the van. Looks great.
Thank you Rory!
Insulation 😔.
You choose well. Her reaction! Stoked for you guys.
Wow.. just wow.. you both deserve to be VERY happy Levi! Ohh by the way, I saw you as a boom op. on the dji episode of filmriot! hahaha how that happened!? It would be awesome if you upload some of that BTS. Cheeers from Argentina!
- Stoked you saw me on the filmriot episode : ) - hopefully I can release my vlog from that soon.
You are one cool dude. Great video! Keep up the good work Levi.
What are the usable dimensions inside the van ?
I see the skeleton gives plenty room for insulation in a colder/hotter climate but I'm wondering about practical space for a twin bed, shower etc.
This is so inspiring! Lovely couple
4:15 super pleasing to watch (fast wood build)
This feels so satisfying!
Wow this is great
oh y aqui tambien jejeje
Te veo por todos lados macho xD
Is it just me that finds watching and listening to the hammering on fast forward pretty soothing..?
peace and happiness for both of you.
Hello +Leftcoast, your pallet idea looks easy, economic and ideal for someone like me on a low budget, thanks a lot for the ideas and congrats for the marriage. Happy life :)
Should have put up another layer of insulation under those pallets :) Happy for you guys!
I entirely agree. I haven't installed any insulation yet. This was a temp build to get me through till I could complete it properly.
I live on the island love the coast, hope had fun on your trip since I'm just discovering your content
just subscribed< loved the video! you guys are really living the dream
That music at the end is problebly the best music you can choose
Nice work man. love it!!
you guys look so happy...I wish my gf and I could share the same moments but I see me doing more than what she cares about. .I feel lonely.
Aw man you guys seem so great and happy.
Good stuff (:
Hoping to travel with my babygirl one day
Well that was just a downright swell gift for you and your bride. Great use of recycled pallet wood too.
[3:39] Great idea to have a string hold slats to be attached.
QUESTION: What screws did you use to attach slats to the wall?
That looks amazing!
Holy crap man you have a really cool van/life. I'm starting my channel and it would be cool to connect at some point (I live in victoria).
Nice Work... One question.. Did you check to see what the pallet's where made from.. Some wooden Pallet's have some nasty chemicals in them..
and as I have said I do Like what you have done....
way to go man! you are very creative.. and she loves you for it :-)
Great job! Looking forward to getting a van soon.
