- VAN TOUR | See everything we built in our campervan!
We've transformed of this retired Mercedes Sprinter wheelchair van into a vibrant tiny home perfect for travel. Almost two years ago we took on the challenging task of renovating this camper van from scratch. What transpired was a lot of challenges and setbacks, and many times we felt like we would never finish. But we are excited to finally show you what we built!

In the time between your videos I ended up losing my father as well . I understand what Collin went through and I share my deepest sympathies with him . Our fathers are such a big part of our lives and they are why we are the men we are today . Happy travels to you both and enjoy where life takes you .

Best van tour I have ever came across. Best of luck for your journey
Thank-you so much for that, that means a lot! We wanted to make it well produced and to the point. So many tours are BORING 😂😂
@@colinandpaige exactly, didn’t see one this much detailed. Keep up 👌🏻
Thankyou!
Best Van tour. I especially love: oh is that cow poop?😅
Hahah 🤣 thanks for watching!!
God Bless from your Canadian Friend
Thank-you for watching 😊
Oh God I love how yourCamper Van turned out!!! So homey and cosy and well made! Well done! I just love the two of you so much and I'm happy to have found you through the Vanwives 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Awhhhh thank-you so much. We are happy you found us too 😊💞
Welcome back, I've missed you. Can't wait until you share your new adventures in your new van. Take care you two.
Thank-you so much 💛
Van looks good love the design. Happy travels
Thank-you so much 💛 we were inspired by Vanwives but put our own twist on it haha
That's magnificent. Absolutely chucked with lots of super ideas
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻💛
Oh it's so good to see you guys and wow that turned out great. So glad your living your truth!❤❤hugs from one who loves this lifestyle also. Safe travels
Thank-you so much! The van has been a real treat to us so far 💛
Nice looking van. Great layout. Awesome set up and very comfortable looking.
It really is wonderful. We are so happy with it! Thanks for watching 😊
❤❤so good to have you guys are back. The van is amazing and your dad is proud of you. I can’t wait to see your next adventures. Welcome back
Awhhh thankyou so much 💛
Yay! It turned out fantastic!!! I love the custom made cabinetry with flush marine locks and a closet for hanging things. Thanks for sharing the bathroom debacle! It’s amazing how 1-2 cm’s can make a huge difference. I hope your friend made at least one extra custom printed connector piece for your Natures Head. 😊 Everything looks so clean and open & you can literally change the feeling of your space by using different color/patterned pillow covers, duvet, and curtain behind the front seats. Your electrical system is a game changer & perfect for someone like me who just doesn’t have the ability (or maybe patience) to learn something like that. It’s sleek & doesn’t take up a lot of space. Thanks for sharing & keeping it simple (as in, not opening every single drawer to show the contents 🙄). It always makes me shake my head when people show the viewers where they have their secret “hidden” safe that’s welded to the frame. Lol. Blessings & may you have many joyful adventures ahead.
Awhhh thanks so much for watching and spending the time with us. We appreciate you!! We definitely wanted it to be a faster more condensed van your 💛😊
Wooooohoooo!! So happy for you both!! And such a treat to see y'all 🥰
Awhhhh thanks so much for being here with us 💛
Absolutely love it! You all have done such a super job! I am excited to see the stories you have to tell. So glad for you that you have such a supportive community of builders and friends and of course, family. The picture is in the perfect place.
Awhhh thankyou Jona. We are excited about how it all turned out. Thank-you for your continued support 💛
Colin and Paige you 2 have done awesome building the entire van looking forward to seeing more videos thank you for sharing
Thankyou for being here with us!!
Welcome BACK!!!! LOVE your build ....all the cute ammenities included (especially the mushroom hanger)....But to be honest I tune in because of WHO's inside ....NOT whats inside and look forward viewing your future travel adventures....and the experiences you share!!! As for Overland interiors....( I may be using him down the road....if he's not too busy) Kudos on your amazing build ....and Colin's picture of his DAD working on the Van brings tears to this viewers eyes!!! Cheers, 1000 islands Canada
Thankyou so much for watching. We appreciate you and your kind words! Here's to new adventures 💛
great job, i have notices on my natures head toilet, having the fan on the on the exhaust side tends to suck up the dry peat fibers and bind the little fan. great job the shower and kitchen are really nice.I wish I did the n/s bed, I have mine e/w and when you feet touch the wall it feels cramped. getting a good sleep makes van travel so much better...really nice build.
Thank-you so much!! I'm 5'10 ish so I don't think I'd fit sideways 😂 so we had too
To me, the advantage of a N/S layout when you are traveling as a couple, is that either person can get in and out without crawling over the other. An E/W layout can be extended with a flare extension if there's just one traveler.
It’s awesome 🫶🏼
Thanks Ed!! 💛
Great to see you on your way. Wishing you the best of journeys!
Thank-you so much Sara 💛
I love seeing the completion! So glad you are getting to enjoy it ♥️
Thank-you for watching 💛
Glad you are back. Van looks great. Looking forward to sharing your adventures.

THANKS MY GUY
Beautiful, one of the nicest vans I have seen on UA-cam. I started watching your channel because I am also Canadian but I admire both of you..
Wow that is so kind! We are so happy how it turned out too 💛
Nice 👍🏽 and wonderful van tour ❤
Thank-you for watching 🙏😊
So beautiful! I love what you two have accomplished so far❤️Can’t wait to see more of your adventures!
Thank you so much for watching 🧡🫶
Wow! Your van looks Great! 🙂
Thank-you so much 💛💛
Nice build! It all turned out awesome! I feel your pain with the huge (and expensive toilet). We had to trim down a PVC elbow to get ours to fit. We also made a false cedar plank floor to hold the toilet in place. Aside from the van you always do such a great job with your videos.
Thank-you so much for your kind comment. We appreciate you ☺️
You guys really did a great job cant wait to see where your adventures take you 🥰
Thank-you so much, we appreciate you 💛
Take your retirement as you go.
That was the advise I read in an obituary from a well liked, well travelled, and well respected collage professor who died at 54. That was about 26 years ago. It was excellent advise then and even better advice now. Please enjoy your life.
Thankyou that is great advice. We appreciate your support 💛
Congratulations ❤ I love it
We love it too! Thanks for watching 💛
Nothing says rv life like going to the bathroom in an overpriced bucket 😂 so so true
Hahaha 😂
P.s LoVE the eco flow system and will be doing some homework of my own!!!
It made it way easier!
Agreed and I am not electrically super inclined...so thank you for your advice!!
@@Whistler326 Let us know if you have any questions!!
Thank you ....nice of you to extend!!! xoxo
Awesome videos sorry I’m soo late
No problem 😊
Almost want to build a van to out on land so I can live as cheaply as possible to build’ my future life.
That's almost exactly what we plan to do!
classy touch for a classy guiiiii (L)

Spare change for a coffee
