I haven’t finished watching, in fact it’s only up to the lounge area but I NEEDED to say how happy I am to finally see people who realise that dogs should be secured during travel just like humans. They should not be left to lie around or sit on someone’s lap in the front! For all those out there that say “it’s fine, I’ve never had an accident”. Well first of all it’s not just about you but all the other people in the road and it’s about your animal/s. It’s selfish to want your dog to sit in your lap or somewhere close by unrestrained. It’s like a child wanting to climb about in the back of a car while your driving. You wouldn’t let them do that because 1) it’s not safe and 2) it’s against the law. So why not treat your pet/s with the same love and respect.
I haven’t finished watching either and I’m thinking put them freaking animals down for a minute and just show us the van. Stop virtue signaling and I don’t care what your pets names are.
Her personality really grows on you. Great couple, great van. I like the bench in the front so it's easy to have guests and utilize the front seats as a hangout area.
We are in the planning phase (still need to test drive Ram Promaster and Ford Transit), and I've been viewing LOTS & LOTS of videos! I totally love how you got a nice kitchen countertop, tons of upper cabinet storage, a BENCH seat (fridge/freezer underneath) near 2 Swivel captains chairs, AND A SHOWER SPACE!!! I love this so much!! Great job on the layout!
Thanks!! We did get a lot in in such a small space. After nearly six months full time...we love our lay out. It’s extremely functional. Good luck on your build!! 🤗
I would love to see links of the many awesome things in this van(where to get them). We are currently turning a Promaster 3500 into our tiny vacation home on wheels, and we’ve planned a very similar layout as this one. I’m obsessed with this one!
I did!! Shaiden made it really easy to just be my goofy self. He made Forrest and I feel so comfortable. Shaiden is a great guy with soooo much knowledge and experience with van builds.
I was told by Quigley that a four wheel drive Sprinter is really only All Wheel Drive, but they call it 4x4. Interesting. I am curious to know how your upgraded Promaster does in snow and ice! What a beautiful van build! I don't do instagram but would have loved to see more of your build :)
Where can I find the info on how you raised the rear axle of your van? I have a 136 and so need a few more inches of clearance. Also, did the raising affect the ride? Thanks
Great job on this Promaster -- love the design inside and out. A tremendous tip on the shower pan -- the offset drain. Where did you find it? We are in the planning process of our Promaster build and we would have the same problem hitting beams in the chassis.
They had me when they said they care about the environment and therefore are whole food plant based. Most powerful/effective strategy for protecting the environment anyone can do. Very nice build. Well thought out. Also glad to see the dog restraints while traveling.
Aww. Thank you!! You are officially my favorite person. 🤗😝🤣. And, yes, not consuming darkness, suffering, and death does the body, the heart, and the spirit good. Lots of love to you and yours. 💕
@@ForrestTierce love the van! I have a friend with a llama so my question is where did Alex get that llama shirt so I can get one for my friend? Please and thank you!
6:37 "wood colors... coz he's macho" not gonna lie i agree with you he looks so fine btw blue and brown looks good on the van. those colors actually complement each other
What size are your tyres? And can you tell me if you have or were warned about early wear on your front driveshafts and CV’s due to the increased angle caused by the 3.5”?lift kit you have fitted? Thanks. Love the rugged look btw!
We avoid the snow at all costs, we are sun chasers…however, we did get stuck in Texas for the big freeze last year and our van was surprisingly comfortable. Our experience is that the spray foam insulation is definitely the way to go compared to wool. We only had our heat on for 20 minutes in the morning and then at night before bed. Our Vanlife friends that had wool needed to keep their heat on all the time. Spray foam has a higher R value… great in the heat to keep the van cool. Spray foam also gets into every nook and cranny, which are all over a van. Definitely worth the extra cost… especially if one is planning on living full-time.
Lmao, I thought I was the only one who said CooCoo for Cocoa Puffs! Cheers! An Oval top for the swivel Table would work, those pointy ones look painful, if hit with a hip!
@@whatshappens. yes!! I’m serious. I was a SAG extra for 14 years. I worked on Friends for about two years before I moved onto commercials. I never wanted to be an actor ... I just wanted the full benefits and free food. 😂
@@ForrestTierce I’m not surprised its true, haha, really, really cool! Do you still watch friends sometimes from time to time? Haha. My girlfriend and I decided just a month ago, that we’re going to build a van ourselves. Adventures, here we come! Lol
@@whatshappens. believe it or not, I never watched it in the 90s but I did watch a bunch of episodes on Netflix last year... it was fun spotting my younger self. 😜 I’m so excited for y’all!! Vanlife is absolutely magical!!! Can’t wait to see y’all’s van tour one day!! Best of luck on your build!! DM us on Instagram @luna_thebadassvan if you ever have any questions. 😊
I just love her energy and enthusiasm for their build. Especially thoughtful was the upright piece of wood that separates the kitchen countertop from the bedding. Thanks for sharing.
Just a reminder for the comment section. This is a pretty expensive build. From the tires, suspension and raptor lining, to the red cedar, butcher block counter top, Battle born batteries, and Victron components. All this combined with a 2019 van probably costs over 60 or 70k. Not knocking the build, it is incredible and beautiful. But as someone that is currently building out my own 136" Promaster I wish I would have come along a comment like this back a year ago or so. For reference, my van cost 20k after taxes, and my conversion will probably be around another 10k. A middle of the road price point IMO.
Could somebody let me know whether they are vegan, I couldn't tell.
We’re vegan, just to confirm!
@@shaidenvalentine1 🤣
I knew in about the first 10 seconds and every couple of seconds after that.
I also bet they have an Etsy store :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Come out to our van meet. 23rd Hungry Valley. Lifted Van meet!
I'll be there!

Thanks!! I am such a big dork, always have been. 😜I’m so blessed that’s one of the qualities Forrest loves about me. 😊
Grows on you like a fungus, I think she’s nerve wrecking.
Their build is my favorite promaster build yet.
This is the floor plan I want in my Promaster. How do I get a detailed build guide for those floor plans? These guys are awesome BTW.
Please dm us on Instagram @luna_thebadassvan with any questions. 🤗
Me too
this van is totally representing the couple ! both are just so impressive and I envy them xD live a happy life guys
I love her energy and her love for what they did. She seems so happy.
@Henree Simpson omg!! Totally!!! We are certainly passionate and ready to laugh (or fight🤣😂🤣 JK)
THIS IS MY FAVORITE VAN BUILD YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had so much fun touring this van!!
Pro master goals 🙌🏼 ! Love that they are vegan too ✌🏼❤️🌱
@@gregsheboskyjr.3434 yay!! Thank you!! 🤗
Do you convert vans yourself?
@@alexiskeys we hired contractors to help us with Luna so.. no, we do not.
Great video and a lovely couple! They've done a great job 👍🏻
I can’t believe how much cooler this van looks than a Sprinter!
If you like trying to get a front wheel drive heavy vehicle up a slippery, curvy road??
And don't have to worry about the unavoidable DEF issues...
Great lifestyle - good for you guys jumping in and showing the way... van is off the hook cool!

Do you have more information on the specific type of overhead pantry cabinet you have from IKEA with the special latches, or a link?
Dude! I saw you guys in Death Valley not long ago I think
Do you have a link to the drivers side window? Or the dimensions?
Looks like you're in San Diego at Sunset Cliffs.
Lots of good info. Especially good for those of us who overthink everything, thanks for doing the heavy thinking😉
Nice layout, I love the red cedar!
Doggy parents are always the happiest couples!!!! So nice to see in spite of the times we're in!!
Props for the simplemimded
She seems like she had a lot of fun filming and explaining her cool van. Cute haha
I did!! Shaiden made it really easy to just be my goofy self. He made Forrest and I feel so comfortable. Shaiden is a great guy with soooo much knowledge and experience with van builds.
I love seeing young adults into van life I’m a teenager and I can’t wait to build my own and go off into the community
I absolutely love this couple. You two are amazing.

In 2023 they’ll be all wheel I’ve got a 2022 it’s 4x4 transfer case hi and low drive

Message @luna_thebadassvan on instagram!
Most adorable couple ever!!!! Love the van, tour, and everything! Great job!
Really a nice Pro master, probably the best one I’ve seen yet, they did a fine job on it.
The van is beautiful and looks so comfortable..
I just love her energy and enthusiasm, very good presentation. Wishing you guys all the best; thanks for sharing.
Wow I love their energy! A pleasure to watch
Layout of this van is real awesome!!
Did they order it new, stock paint or aftermarket exterior paint? So cool, awesome build
We bought it new and got it painted at Maaco.
One of the best van tours I've seen on YT. Had alot of fun watching this one.
What a cool couple. Love that he cares about his temple and the planet. Lives his dogs----a real man.
My dream van! is this Promaster 159 WB standard or extended?
Thanks!! It is 159 standard. ☺️
The Van and the couple are the evolution of the 60’s deadheads.
Looks awesome. Someone must have asked the question already but have you had any axel/CV issues with the lift? About to have one installed...Thanks!
this rig is sick.
noone ever talks about the TP i was wondering. perfect solution- totally using that!!! Thanks :)
Great job on this Promaster -- love the design inside and out. A tremendous tip on the shower pan -- the offset drain. Where did you find it? We are in the planning process of our Promaster build and we would have the same problem hitting beams in the chassis.
Those latches are what they use on roto molded coolers to latch them shut.
*sick van!*
cool couple!
vanlife folks are the best folks.
I want to know what type of subfloor and insulation was used in the floor?
link for the latch on lower bench?
Link for upper cabinet latches?
I realize this is an older video, but where can we get more info on the lift kit you used as well as wheel well, and info on tires. Thanks.
What back up cam do you use
Very nice Van, can you share the tires size and the wheel brand, thanks
-tires
BFG K02
285 75R17
Wheel brand: Ultra Toil.
They had me when they said they care about the environment and therefore are whole food plant based. Most powerful/effective strategy for protecting the environment anyone can do.
Very nice build. Well thought out.
Also glad to see the dog restraints while traveling.
Impressive.This man do know some stuff and I love his passion for it.
They should have a UA-cam channel.
Your mom should have a UA-cam channel…
UA-camr - "Can we check out your awesome van?"
Van couple - "We're Vegan"
lol and scope out those stickers......
Great van! Hope to see you guys on the road!
What ikea cabinets did you guys get?? Looks awesome!
Thanks!! Dm on us IG @luna_thebadassvan. That’s the easiest way to reach us. 😊
WOW!!!! And that’s just for the outside!!!! Can’t wait to see the inside!
Enjoyed the van tour got lots of ideas. Look like plenty of love and hard work was put into it well worth it.
If you want wood but a lighter build, then bamboo is a great option, plus it’s water resistant.
Bamboo ply isn’t lighter than any other play unfortunately, I’ve weighed it.
Damn, not going to lie, they look amazing for being in their 40s, the vegan food must have done wonders
Aww. Thank you!! You are officially my favorite person. 🤗😝🤣. And, yes, not consuming darkness, suffering, and death does the body, the heart, and the spirit good. Lots of love to you and yours. 💕
Vegan at 70, I look great, and healthy.
@@Bodhisattva7137 amazing!!!! Compassion makes a body good!!
(that's what being in your 40's looks like)
@@ForrestTierce love the van! I have a friend with a llama so my question is where did Alex get that llama shirt so I can get one for my friend? Please and thank you!
What is the exact model of the toilet ?
They made the coolest looking van ever. Even more impressive is they didn't start as pro Carpenters but are now
One of the BEST van tours I've seen!! You guys are great!!

Looks bad ass for sure wonder how much you spent on the rig.
Awesome build 👏 great use of space and materials
Who makes that great step ???
one of the best designs i've seen so far! good job, guys!
How does it do in big snow? I think by now in late 2021 it has been determined that wool is the best insulator.
We avoid the snow at all costs, we are sun chasers…however, we did get stuck in Texas for the big freeze last year and our van was surprisingly comfortable. Our experience is that the spray foam insulation is definitely the way to go compared to wool. We only had our heat on for 20 minutes in the morning and then at night before bed. Our Vanlife friends that had wool needed to keep their heat on all the time. Spray foam has a higher R value… great in the heat to keep the van cool. Spray foam also gets into every nook and cranny, which are all over a van. Definitely worth the extra cost… especially if one is planning on living full-time.
omg, they are living the life!
That cooler said everything I needed to know about these clowns.
Fantastic!!!!! I love it.
Hey nice van! The shower head, what brand is it? I be been looking for one like this forever...😊
I know this is late to the reply section, but does anyone know what size tires ended up working? Thinking about 235/85 R16E.
Did you have computer, shift point, speedometer adjusted? What about gearing?
What is the blue color called. It is amazing
How many mpg do you get?
Wow, very impressive built. She’s groovy and he’s very luck to have her onboard van-life. 👍
“Do you hear that, honey?”(While nudging Forrest in the ribs) 🤣
Thank you. ☺️

Amazing conversion guys! Do you mind sharing what it all cost?
One of my favorite vans do far!
🥑🥝🥬🍏🥦🍒🥑🥬😥🌻
Yay! Thank you💕
This thing is a BEAST!
Awesome build!!
This is so nice compare to my Solis 59P. I wish I have more time to decide before I buy one🙄
Do they have a UA-cam channel?
This is the best conversion I’ve watched💗
Nice video, nice van! I was just wondering how much does the all thing weighs with full water tanks.
Heavy. 9000 lbs... Is why we needed the modifications to the tires and suspension. Luna is a beast.
The Van us friggin beautiful on the outside.....cant wait to see the rest if it!!!💕😁🇺🇲
Is this fwd?
yes
