I heard that Congressman George Santos said that he started this company Alpine Van Works by selling his blood plasma. After passing out many times from the blood loss, he had enough money to become the CEO of Alpine. Good for Mr. Santos.
Never heard any of this. People have been converting vans for decades and it has never been a problem. Maybe if you want to store some lead acid batteries in the top cabinet, then i'd reinforce the roof. And wear a helmet when driving in case it flies forward in an accident..
I built out our sptinter van few years ago and I am laughing my ass off at how convoluted my build was compared to this!! These guys really thought this out with super elegant execution. Nice job!
I have a clean slate of a van, 2021 sprinter, surround windows, no side door, I’m completely in deep figuring out how I’m going to build this thing out, especially considering it’s not like most camper vans that don’t have windows and all have a side door
This is all very clean and fantastic looking. Until you need to do any service work to the sliding door, or there's a wiring fault, or any miriad of things that are now completely blocked by GLUEING trim to the chassis. Way to go guys.
Just came across your video. Why don’t you put your contact info in the video? I don’t need a kit currently as I did all the work myself, the hard way but I would have been tempted to go with one of your packages had I known about you. I do know 2 friends who are at the start of their builds (empty van stage) and would like something like your kit but where are you? I shouldn’t have to search the internet to find you after such a great video. I can find your videographer easy enough. Very thorough video ❤️.
Props on the price point, and keeping it affordable (as opposed to Adventure Wagon). However, it seems like you are drilling a lot of new holes into the van. I'm not sure how many self tacking screws are used in total but from the video it seemed like a lot of them. From watching the AdWag install videos and comparing, it seems like they drill less new holes in comparison. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Adventure Wagon has you drill about 1,000 more than their kit! Haha seriously it's a lot a lot less. Props on these guys for doing so few. Pretty impressive
Can an Alpine Van Works van be sold and financed as an "RV"? I would love to have a simple build like this, but need to spread the financing out over a longer period of time.
Dude, just build your own. Bought a 2021 van, built it out myself with zero prior knowledge and my entire build cost me $9k and it's way better than this. $7,500 for walls? Get outta here. This is insane.
Here a pro tip run your wires in a loom. Don't do it the way they show. I'll tell you one reason, vibration will cause wear. Just because someone has a business doesn't make them a professional.
L Trac is ugly and requires you locate things at specific increments of 1” or more and use expensive mounting hardware. 80/20 has infinite locations for mounting and looks better

Van roofs need additional structural support beyond what the factory provides when adding roof accessories.

that looked like fun. what was the actual build time?
Do you guys make interior kits for only sprinters? We have a transit and your kit seems well made
The efficiency and quality of the finished product is crazy. You guys have this dialed in! This vid is a wealth of great info. Thanks for this 🔥
Thank you!

Love the kit set, Please would you consider shipping it to Australia?😀😀😀🤩🤩
Make that two sets👏👏

Does that rubber flooring come in a white color and where can you purchase that I like that Matt it looks sturdy and it looks like it won't scuff
Hey Dustin, what gauge wire are u using? 6gauge/3 wire? Is it the same throughout the build? Planning on ordering your kit!
Cool!! What kind of washer bolts are you using in the ceiling panels??
Why did you edit a few seconds out of the part where you’re drilling out the bolt hole where the bolt doesn’t go in? What step bit did you use?
Looks great except for the upper cabinets

Is your convertible bed available yet?

Props on price point?? What? I just looked on their website...wall panel kits $7000...
Does the flooring have any R-Value using the spray foam in the "valleys" of the van?
I’m looking forward to installing your kits in client builds. Top notch, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from Alpine (OVP)

Where is the galley, I would like a cup of coffee ! No replies to any of the questions people have asked.
Ciao dove si trova il sedile così ,?
make sure you also wear a mask when using paint and glues. Naughty
lol the price is ridiculous, I’ll build myself for quarter of the cost
It seems they have a great business model. But probably there is more then meets the eye. If it was so easy I bet more people would offer this.
Looks like this video assumes you have a cargo van
Not a bad kit you guys have but the electrical side is seriously lacking compared to the competition.

This is too much like Adventure Wagon walls. Ugly and expensive
