Can you do this for me? What’s the price?!

I'd like to know the company that you got the rap from. You did an excellent job on getting that truck wrap it looks like an excellent paint job. This would make me want to get my convertible out and drive it if I can get it redone. Thank you you guys are awesome

[@singmysong1167]

Looking at ALL the fancy tools, quality materials used, and watching the whole detailed time-eating process and skills necessary, I would say this gives me a whole new appreciation for someone even attempting to build a camper DIY or a factory build of one camper!

There certainly a lot of pieces to the puzzle that is building a camper!

[@SacRoScz]

One of the best build out there... As a machinist myself, I must admire precision and effort put in your work.

This is one of those channels that, unless I'm at work, I don't see a new video posted and say to myself "I might watch that later". I want to watch these as soon as I can. I can't remember the year I started watching but I do remember it was from being interested in seeing how solar is set up which lead me to your video of how much your solar set up cost. Now with you building a house I'm double invested because my 2 main youtube videos that I watch consists of home building and solar. Both of which I want to try my hand at someday even though financially it will never come to fruition. At least I can be happy for others and watch their journey. Very thankful for that ❤
