I was really into several of the components Brian chose to use in his van.

As a class b owner/traveler of two tv's for the last 28 years, I put a lot of importance on roof air that can be powered anywhere. Opens up the full four seasons to go, or just to be comfortable when the need calls for it. 1993 Airstream B van (16 years) and a 2009 Krystal Sprinter (12 years). Both with showers and roof ac and generators. Bought the Airstream when I turned 40 in 1995. Still going strong, best life living decision.
I work in long beach and go on walks on my breaks.. I witnessed this van being built over several months right next to my work.. crazy to stumble across this.
I'm pretty sure that's the single best conversion job I've ever seen. Fantastic design, fantastic execution!
Nice of you to list prices, most people don’t
Which makes a grand total of: $ I can't afford it
Pake mo mga hudlong mga pisti yawaa mo
There's no price for satisfaction
Agreed ...I just can't afford that price... I have a conventional class a RV.. I flat tow a 4wd 4runner.... That's as close to his life I get
Said no one in a minimum wage job ever.
Pretty amazing. You really have to know your stuff to design and set up a rig like that. One practical thing that sets this apart from most "van" tiny homes is it has the all important toilet/shower. Even if it's a small space, those two things are must haves/
Yeah this conversion was really well executed!
I agree Riogrande. Way too overpriced for that conversion. Also has the worst motor even produced by Ford. You’ll hate the spark plugs when they snap on you. That 5.4L must get 7-9mpg down the highway especially those high of gears. Should of just spent the extra $2-3K for a 7.3 that year. More power. More efficient and more reliable. This is sadly lipstick on a pig.
@@maxboyathe 5.4 2 valve is one of Ford's most reliable engines ever ...
You must be an arm chair van lifer
Love this. This was so well done and explained very clearly about FWD and AWD. Thanks.
Awd and 4x4
Adventure rig? Bro, that's an Apocolypse rig! Awesome. Totally awesome!
This is one of the most impressive vehicles I've ever seen. Most excellent job on this.
Nice rig and great narration education.
The more I watch these builds, ditching the propane seems a good idea.
Aypag english² dra bigyan tka ron HAHAHAH
Awesome build, great video and a very professional presentation/ information on specs, advantages and reasoning for certain features!! Kudos to you!
Wishing you and your family many safe camping trips!!
An awful lot of work and thinking went into this. Worth it.
It's an incredible conversion!
This really is an outstanding off-road RV. The overall fit and finish appears to be second to none.
I appreciate the owners detailed descriptions about how the build was first conceived, designed, and then implemented. All very good choices and all made on solid considerations. The end result is a very capable off-road RV that practically anyone would be able to use and enjoy without further modifications.
However... I don't know how much power an incinerating toilet requires, but that would be my choice, and I would try to devise a means to increase the solar panel surface area.
I'm envious and I have to nit-pick.
Great Rig! I really love seeing what you did with an older RV , bringing it back to something better than its ever been
Love the front window curtain idea. Stealing that for sure.
We bought this shed at the beginning of July. czcams.com/users/postUgkxe81Bz076USDt6sYU1rDcNa2LwCIKADgB It’s built now and just needs painting. The instructions were clear and concise. All the parts were there and in excellent condition.
Love it! Great build!
Really nice job! Congratulations. Hope to see you down the road one of these days!
Wow nice job. Cages over the road lights. Cool
THIS IS AMAZING.
really amazing. probably my favorite so far. 100k is pretty steep and gets me wondering when I can ever afford a luxury like that myself lol. still very inspirational
Awesome RV with all the extras you need to get out there and enjoy life to it’s fullest.👍
One of the best designed interiors I have seen from the US.
Great work!
You had me at hanging closet!
Looks like an awesome build!
Spray that with him raptor bedliner, I’m only asking because I sprayed my own to Tacoma love that product. Nice, set up. Thanks for your time.
Sorry I should’ve watched the full video before I commented
Incredible job!!
This is the best concept and best conversion I've seen.
This is really a very nice build and great video. Makes me want to purchase one today.
Absolutely BAD ASS... Great Vid!
The spot where the drone is panning away from your camper looks like the Tilamook Forest in Oregon in a spot I drive by all the time. Love the van by the way!
Very very nice! Came up random, totally enjoyed watching it.
This thing is amazing. Good job
Sick Build Bro !!!!
Absolute beast
Impressive. Great job.
Awesome job one to be Very Proud of. Congrats
Dude, this thing is bad ass.
Nice Job On The Curtains.
WOW Awesome...
Stay Healthy and Keep Safe Always Sir...
Finally a van I would actually use!
this is so sick
Great job 👍👏
I’m from Rhode Island An you are a inspiration
Definitely built with off-roading in mind (guy knows what he’s talking about when describing the “whys” )
the best one yet
"We"-You've got one lucky girl . Nothing compares to an intelligent guy who clearly knows how to chase his dream. Stay with it! Wow! What a vehicle!!! Smart! So well planned and executed. Much respect. I noticed you didn't mention mileage...oh, what the heck...does it even matter when you put happiness into that equation?! Awestruck.
Aw thanks so much! We're both lucky! 8 to 9mpg at 65mph on a flat highway. Cheers!
@@auxbuilt4190 THAT IS THE ONE PROBLEM WITH THOSE RIGS, THEY'RE FINE BUT NEED TO BE CONVERTED TO ELECTRIC
@@RonPaulgirls At 8 to 9 mpg? May as well convert them to nuclear...
@@nukepuke932 WITH EVS YOU CAN CONVERT THEM TO NUCLEAR, EASY, IT'S CALLED SOLAR PANELS, COLLECTING ENERGY FROM THE BIGGEST NUCLEAR PLANT IN THE SOLAR SYTEM......LIFE ON EARTH HAS BEEN RUNNING ON SOLAR NUCLEAR FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS......GET WITH THE PROGRAM
fantastic video thanks
Beautiful, great job
Best build yet
this is amazing
Amazing van!
Simply awesome
Like almost a dream van... but 90k and lack of insulation well it's about priorities.
Amazing curtains and van soo far
great job!
Awesome. Exactly what I want
Shoulda went with the econoline turbo diesel sweet motor!
He saved alot doing the work himself. I'm not handy like that
Amazing rig....
That's not a bad total price all things considered. Super cool.
Amazing conversion top quality heavy duty go anywhere rig. Well done. Only one con, I would rather sleep under the truck than in the claustrophobic coffin space. Happy travels.
“The bathroom is not the Taj Mahal” no way 😂 😂
This has to be the best conversion I have seen. Great job
Thank you! Greatly appreciate you saying so man!
Agreed. I'm apprehensive about 4x4 exploration vehicles of this size and weight, but this one makes it look feasible.
Wow this build is incredible . I have a 1992 Ford E350 camper van, love it. I do hate my blinds , can you tell me what curtain accessories / track you got for the front curtains and also your window curtain rods. Would love these on my rig.
Nice...really nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool van.
Man , you're a badass builder , it is beautiful looking. I'm wondering if you still have that van , I hope so beautiful I liked to see you traveling around the world. If you still have the van I'd like to wish you a few million miles with that beautiful van 💯😎❤️👍 Outstanding build you have there .
Awesome ❤️❤️❤️

SUPER!
I recommend getting leather care products for the front seats. Can be found in virtually any equestrian store ever.
Caring for leather products increases quality, age and durability. You wouldn't want cracked seats right after you bought the car, right?
Nice van. Built.really well. FYI , princes color was purple.
The revels are 4x4 not all wheel drive, they even have a low range button. And there is a company that makes lockers for the sprinter. FYI. But it is always nice to have a one of a kind like yours.
nice idea for #camping or #overlanding
NICE
Yes
That's sweet
Much much better than the original design congrats for you.
Great van build!!! Keep it out of the salt water and it should last a long time.
Well done with the all important bathroom ,very compact build, enjoy your many years adventures to come. We have done all our overseas RV travel but now late 70s will stay home. Our present Camper is a1966 small school bus . Kiwi travellers.
aaaaaaand he sold it :) looks like he is on to a new project. interested to see how it turns out.
I like the rig. Since you have changed the duals to super singles, what happens if you get a flat that can't be fixed? That tire doesn't look like it would be too common the find out on the road.
I'm thinking he has a spare .
When I ask my father in law for his daughters hand he said that I should have a spare , I'm now with her sister .
You see my friend , your absolutely right , sometimes it can't be fixed .......lmfao 😆.....
Still lmfao
This year and engine was only optioned with SRW.. production with the v10s came with duallies
I have this model but I have the fixed bed...
I have had a nature head for a few years now and plainly got tired of the cleaning. If I waited too long, though no smell, it would get dog heavy. So ... I removed the stir bar and put in a removable bucket. Then line the bucket with double plastic bag. I put in a layer of wood pine chips and then as the black business is done I layer another pine chips (fine but not sawdust, which may work too. I set the bucket lid on top between uses, really easy to do... just as an additional thing. The open flap opens and closes well. Then when full I can remove the bucket and/or bag and it's outta here. I have noticed near zero bugs at all not like the peat... some use other expandable too.. I just got tired of cleaning it and at 1K for the toilet, I would have done something way different at first... but just repurposed what I already have.... This is a great rig ... good job....
The Best 🤠🇫🇮
this guy rolling around in q built out uhaul ready to take on anything
nice
That thing is pimptastic! Stud mobile!!!
With regards to your electrical system, does your AC unit have a soft start on it? Just curious.
感恩，謝謝分享！
Man I really want to make my shuttle bus 4x4 and convert it to a 12 valve
The only thing that's more impressive then someone who knows the nitty gritty details of their gear is when they imagine, design and build it... this cat is the real deal!
Joli !!
Interior reminds me of a doctors office.
98 Brian one 4x4 4 nice work
Wow.
I hope you get this message. Where did you get the custom wheels made for a single wheel conversion?
you have the camper of my dreaMS
