I am having the same problem with my foot/leg. I am waiting for the doctor to contact me about my test results to see if my right leg needs to be amputated. The right leg would be cut below the knee. Thanks for the informative video.

Thank you!

Nice video, but you forgot to mention that Mercedes-Benz has discontinued the axle for this vehicle. Check the MBPARTS official site for parts, and you will find this important piece discontinued. My 2023 Mercedes 170 has been at the shop for 4 months waiting for a propeller shaft that may never arrive. And you know the not-so-fun part about this? Mercedes-Benz tells you to your face, "F U, we cannot fix it." It's a 7,000-mile new vehicle that cannot be repaired. So now my family will have to go through a very long legal battle against Mercedes-Benz. That's my experience with them. Please check the discontinued parts of the vehicle they so wonderfully advertise before buying

I just lost my legt leg to CRPS. It's been one hell of a journey. I lost EVERYTHING to it. I'm currently homeless trying to rebuild my life. I suffered CRPS for ten plus years before getting the guts to amputate. I profoundly underestimated the mental side effects of amputation. I'm currently fighting deep depression. The strangest thing is while I was in pain with CRPS I was unaware of my life crumbling around me because all that I cared about was getting comfortable and not moving. I was very athletic before CRPS, I sat on my butt for 10 years. I'm fatter than I've ever been. Now that the pain is gone I don't have the constant distraction and I realize how completely f***** up my life is. I'm setting in a pile of ashes but I refuse to give up. I'm not the ashes, I'm the fire god damn it!!! I'm basically went through pretty much what you've gone through. Obviously everybody struggles different. My wife of 22 years left me because I couldn't pay for anything, my mother died, I lost my job house and car. It's been ROUGH!!!! I don't really have a support network. My older sister is kind of the only one helping me out. I lost pretty much all my friends because I guess hanging out with a disabled person is total pain in the a**. I'm currently seeking professional help. This is been one of the roughest things I've ever been through. Thank you for your video it makes me feel not so alone in all this. I see the light but it's still very far away. I'm so glad this machine didn't eat you brother. Your story snapped me out of a very very bad day.

Hey! Hope new videos get put out soon. 💪

I can relate to the loosing the ability to do the things that make you as an individual, it sux when everything you want to do requires standing and walking. Thanks for sharing this, I am currently in the process of deciding, would life be better without the foot that causes the pain. There is not much information available on the subject.

i got mine on 4/27/2021 B>K>A your or my fight is all the time and i WILL NOT quit i will win the war but loose some battles.

...I'm not seeing the 7.62 mm miniguns front and rear !!!!! ???????

I refuse to leave this earth without a few scars

I have had shingles. I wonder how that compares to CRPS. Your description of the quality of the pain sounded pretty similar. Shingles goes away after a few weeks though, which is nice.

I love this build. The only thing I would do is round all the edges of storage cabinets, counter tops,... so I don't hurt myself navigating around the van

Spooky how similar our histories are, but I’m 63, so older. I’ve been an amputee for 40 years, identical amputation as yours. I was in traction in a bed for 7 months as I snapped my femur, and it damaged my femoral artery leaving 30% of my normal , distal to my knee, circulation. Over 5 years I spent 3 in the hospital, I was in the hospital for about 2.5 years. Much of it was in the burn unit. The onset of my ptsd and grief didn’t occur until I retired 5 years ago. Very strange. Keep your chin up friend.

I’m a left leg BKA. I have never been depressed or cried over the loss of my leg. I celebrated my leg being gone. I have surgery 4 months ago. I suffered with peripheral neuropathy for 15 years. It was idiopathic. Always had feet pain, infections, seeing foot doctors, medications, and finally a Charcot foot that stayed infected despite wearing a crowboot. I finally told the vascular doctor to cut off my foot/leg. My life so far has been so much better than what I have lived with for over a decade. I’m not sad one day to see my leg gone. It’s so much better than what I had. I’m still dealing with a lot of phantom pain but that’s getting better

So glad I just saw your video! I was googling like crazy if it's legal or not to have security cameras on the exterior, especially more obvious ones. I kept getting dashcam answers and iffy answers depending on state. But I want some actual badass autotracking security on my build. I want to add a pan and tilt AI cameras on the front and rear instead of just discrete ones. Has anyone given you trouble for them?

Wow thank you so much for this video ❤ so motivational ❤just found your channel wow hope you keep posting more motivational videos so helpful to so many who needs this❤❤❤❤

Great video. I am an 84 yr old amputee and live in a small town so no support group Similar experiences and wish I had seen this video 2 years ago when I lost my lower left leg. I arrived at many of the same conclusions. Wish I had a skeletal prosthesis for Halloween. or a bird claw foot. Am a retired archaeologist and plan to get back out in the field soon.

I stopped viewing when you said you hunted.😖😖 The very thought of killing innocent forest wildlife appalls me. I didn't want to hear anymore...😡😡

I get muscle spasms too! It’s so annoying! It’s a really painful non-voluntary thing that happens to me all the time!!!

Love the build I got alot of great ideas for mine.

Absolutely one of the best if not the best video I’ve ever seen. I never knew this place existed. We definitely plan on visiting soon.

That’s my hometown. lol why would you drink straight from the faucet? It even burns your hands as it comes out. You have to wait until it cools. lol

One of the first things i said to my doctor is that I wanted to make a bet, I told him I wasn't sure how tall he was but I bet I was a foot shorter than him I was shocked that he didn't get it and I had to explain it to him ha ha ha

That grey water trick is right out of a 007 movie. Very cleaver. 🧐

I read somewhere that the phantom feeling you are having is because they caught off the nerves, but a surgeon can also reroute te nerves back into the upper leg and then the phantom feeling wil go away...I hope you can still get that operation. Keep the good spirit inside yourself alive man..what doesnt kill you makes you stronger

We have the Blue Safet T Plus on our 2020 Tiffin 36LA Open Road, while returning to Arizona from UP Michigan we were rolling at 60 MPH on the interstate when we lost control and got the Death Wobble and nearly flipped the rig. After getting stopped and climbing underneath the main portion of the shock had come apart. It appears. the weld failed

Fabulous! Thank you for sharing! You are a good speaker. May God bless you!

I think i am about to be facing the same decision. Im not sure how to process this yet.

not to be rude but wtf kinda explaination is that? figured out u couldnt fly without ur cape? would have takin few seconds. what does that even mean? like i need more info

Hello! This is such a cool build! I have a few questions, how can I get in touch with you?

I did the same but longer, from Miami, and stayed at the parking lot, wrong decision, and they didnt send us to any hotel, and yes, we had 2 french bulldos. The service didnt fulfill my expectations. The service advisor, who had a nasty attitude and is out (good for them) opaque the efforts the tech was making. Him, the tech, was awesome, but he entire experience wasn't good. Last minute repair on the bay area, because they said the Camco grey valve has been discontinued (my coach is 2023 brand new), and they finishing using some white coupler from home depot I guess. Funny thing, I google the part and was in stock at Camco. Note: I had to detail the entire coach, on and out after this experience. Inside was left dirty, very. To make a comparison, you buy a high end car (Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, even a Rolls) that are in the price range we all pay for this vehicles, and you rarely see a porter or a mechanic getting in your car without cover the seats, steering whell sometimes, floor etc. Well, at least they could remove their shoes or use some cover. Nope, just walking on the salty floor, and bringing it in. I can go on and on...but if I have to do it? well, will be a different planning. Oh, and I asked fore the factory tour, and they said they were suspended (who knows why) but off course, next time I will place huge stickers on my RV, like you have, and to avoiid any youtuber saying bad things they offer tours, hotel, and the whole pack. Oh, and my wiper blade and arm, they are probably next to yours, and with the agravation that mine flew in the middle of a snow shower that lasted for the last 200 miles on my way over. And the list goes on and on....and like you, the service department at the dealer we purchased, wasn't up to par either.

van build ?? you mean a modern battle tank home on wheels

Is that Microwave bolted down. In a collision it might remove the driver's head.

Bariatric chamber...

Its such an encouraging words. God bless you stay strong.

this build is realy weard..... have been campering offroad for 20 years but this does not look ideal

I really need to talk to you disable Vet trying to make a decision to amputate or not thanks

It Sucks! I like the way he says that. And I’m sure it does.

homestead is worse than handmaids tale. don't let anyone convince you anyone there 'chose' anything 'freely', when the 'alternative' is shunning and 'eternity in hell' if you don't obey the minister and his evil.

It’s a pity it’s not right hand drive. I love the van

I am speechless ❤ You are one of the most inspirational souls I've ever come across and want you to know of how positively impactful you are to the world 🌎 Sending you Gods Richest Blessings 🙌 🙏 ❤️

Your Prosthetist should do this adjustment! Huge liability!

I didnt understand what was the actually injury, how did you hurt your leg?

I love these videos, ive been trying to figure out if this is possible for above knee amputees though and i cant find any videos. I want to learn to ride horses again, if anyone in the comments has any info for AKA

No more videos, why?

I recently elected BKA. A little over 2 weeks out. I really appreciate this video very much.

Good a real bumper thanks

You have a great story.very inspiring. Stay strong

Of all my years watching van tours I think I would want to live in this one the most

So much to break
