CUSTOM SPRINTER VAN CONVERSION - From Cargo Van to Off-Grid Tiny House - VANLIFE

[@Mythara]

Great commentary. Funny and informative but no yammering. Perfect.

[@tedward123]

"It's now or never. You do it. And it turns out fine!" - this should be the motto for my van build. lol. Great video. Thank you for sharing!

[@PetiteSauvage]

Haha! Thank you!

[@muddled1vy]

Nice to see a fellow Canadian enjoying the lifestyle

[@chickgonesquirrely]

One of the best van conversions I’ve ever seen

[@PetiteSauvage]

Thank you!

[@iltjoa]

I think that's neat that you added maps to the wall along that angled corner of the interior roof.

[@imagomonkei]

This is probably the most informative van conversion video I've seen.

[@PetiteSauvage]

Thank you! 😊

[@Sig721Tau]

Petite Sauvage I like the girl's narration in the video. Kinda spunky and fun.

[@morepi5709]

I love your Sprinter build story. More and more people are doing it themselves, getting what they want, and saving money. We have a 2005 Sprinter van and did our own build as well. We live in Monmouth, Oregon but when we vacation, we go to Canada. Our fourth trip two years ago was to Bella Coola, BC.

[@PetiteSauvage]

Thank you! Yeeep! It saved us a lot of money even though it was a real headache sometimes to figure everything out! :-P I never been to Bella Coola but wish I had... We drove the Cassiar highway and it was absolutely beautiful. So I guess Bella Coola was as well! And Oregon, well, it's always been a favorite of mine. Lucky you! :-)

[@christinachiew3156]

Thanks so much sharing about your van conversion. We really appreciate the tip that rock / stone wool insulation is best against humidity & water and for sound proofing!

[@PetiteSauvage]

Christina Chiew Thanks for watching! And yeah so far so good with the rock wool. Can't complain 😄

[@citizenx6337]

I actually believe rockwool is the worst against humidity. And rockwool without a vapor barrier is even worse. Amarite?

[@griffinjar]

Lovely Vid. Really well done on the conversion. One couple got a lot of mould under their mattress due to zero ventilation between the ply and the fabric. I recommend you drill a bunch (loads) of holes in your ply to allow the mattress to breath. Big love. J

[@susandoyle4355]

Beautiful van ... it is different from a lot of other vans I have seen on KZbin ...love it!😻

[@thisspotrules3631]

Rustic cabin award!

[@pegweg47]

You guys are super cute! Happy travels.

[@AyshahShahrul]

I love this design the most

[@yankeepotroast4169]

Back on the road, Awesome! Love the new van it looks great. So spacious inside too!

[@PetiteSauvage]

YankeePotRoast Yes it is! Feels like a mansion compared to a VW bus!

[@ellwayyy]

Enfin une vidéo qui explique en détail! Le seul hic est que j'ai bcp de misère à trouver un camper ou un sprinter qui ne coûte pas plus que 10,000 :/

[@carinaspring6284]

I like that it's not cramped inside

[@lindylund280]

Lovely build, lovely accent, great English. Subbed.

[@zoethompson6556]

Elle est donc ben belle vote petite van ! Jl'adore! Greetings from a Quebecan

[@Nobody-vj7mj]

What a wonderful story, and an incredible build! Funny, i used to have a 76 Bus and i now have a sprinter! Much Love from the Us out Loud Family!

[@PetiteSauvage]

Us Out Loud Thanks! Ours was a '73. Loved that little bus to death! Seems like a lot of vw owners are changing for Sprinters!✌️

[@lynnepierce3676]

Love the VW buses😊😊. What a great van build😊

[@debbie90805]

Everything looked home like, nice, wish I had the ability. Keep up the good work and enjoy your travels.

[@PetiteSauvage]

Debra Vaughn Thank you! We thought at first that we didn't have the ability. We made it through. Not easily but it can be done!

[@paulelverstone8677]

Great video and in less than 8mins. Impressed...

[@tomfommber]

Brilliant. Great job you two!

[@StaticCamperVan]

Such a great video! It’s great to see the van and to also get a glimpse of your build. 👍🏼🚐

[@PetiteSauvage]

Static CamperVan Thanks friend! 😄

[@robertbidochon7949]

+Petite Sauvage Tu parle Français? :D

[@PetiteSauvage]

Oui! J'suis Québécoise :-)

[@Sig721Tau]

Petite Sauvage What kind of insulation did you guys use? Btw, your home improvement store looks like one here in the US called Lowe's Home Improvement. 😀

[@thenisarg434]

Static C amperVan

[@randivoss6669]

Your video is both charming and informative. (Don't let the icky trolls get you down!) Good for you for doing what you're doing!

[@georgerosado5194]

Super proud of you both.very inspirring

[@Feedback4Utoday]

Awesome video. Great info/very professional

[@franklinpayero8382]

Great job, well done

[@kierstynsaoirse]

seems like a lot of work but seems so worth it in the end!

[@tyson1fan487]

Great video!! Nice job on the van really nice build.

[@queenlorea2094]

Very beautiful. I’ve learned so much from you all. One day, I’m going to live a loving stealth lifestyle, also. It’s my dream❣️🥑🍇🍓🥝🍳🥑

[@DavidGonzalez-gw3te]

Thanks for your time.

[@DavidGonzalez-gw3te]

I love you

[@davidwilliston1209]

Was the floor cold? You didn't insulate it. Nice build overall! Bravo!!

[@Neverland-Official]

C est vraiment superbe ! ☺️

[@phoebekhins]

Hi, great video. What is the name of your insulation again?

[@marleiserashford396]

Loved your video. Proud of you. I am so jealous. Wished I could do something like this. Enjoy you life my dear. U only get one chance.

[@peterlansdale1793]

Nice design thanks for the inspiration. "The moment when you're alone...you measure....you measure again....it comes out fine." hahahaha my experience exactly.

[@PetiteSauvage]

Peter Lansdale Haha yeah it gets scary. I should have film my first time with power tools. I guess my face was priceless 😜 Thanks for watching!

[@chris37ca]

You guys are awesome keep on uploading videos..

[@helloitsanxiety6234]

“Measure twice, cut once” 😂😂💜

[@good4damoney]

Will you have a video on electric wiring ,like conversion of solar panels?

[@robbiegmac]

How is it that I’m just finding you now on KZbin? Great video! And narration, I can’t wait to catch up on all the older vids. 😊

[@PetiteSauvage]

Hey! Thanks a lot :-) Hope you'll like the other videos as well. Glad to have you with us!

[@popupadventures353]

Finally have wifi to watch full video!! so good!! Cant wait to build ours one day ;)

[@PetiteSauvage]

♡♡♡

[@WillBrownart]

Great video I am remodeling a 1972 caveman camper and I relate to a lot of what you are saying 😁 looks good

[@PetiteSauvage]

Thanks man! Good luck with yours :-)

[@tomlambert2121]

Super edition et très beau video! :)

[@ritabroils6190]

So cute.

[@destroy43]

Saw the Tillamook bucket, super cool! Great van! Subscribing!

[@PetiteSauvage]

destroy43 thank you! Always gotta have a little bit of Oregon in there! 😉

[@michaelrs8010]

Greetings from Andy (pictured) and I in Orange County, California. That's a nice build and looks like you guys did a good job. Could you tell me again what it was you used for the insulation? Thanx Andy and Michael

[@sydmurray]

Really love your design

[@PetiteSauvage]

Dede Huchteman Craft Hippie Thank you!😄

[@y.champagnephotographie8197]

belle conversion sa me donne le gout

[@Goddess_altar]

You sound a little like dexter lol love it 💓

[@shabbirjdana]

I like this van

[@1985bjaycat]

Great video! Are you French-Canadian? Your van looks awesome.

[@bryantford3054]

You did a very nice job on your conversion. Your Sprinter should last you a long time with such low mileage (uh, would that be kilometerage up there? lol) I owned several old VW vans when I lived in Alaska. Not very reliable & the heaters really suck. Just became a new subscriber. Love your accent, by the way.

[@PetiteSauvage]

Bryant Ford Thanks a lot. And yep kilometerage 😂. VWs are great but full of little not so funny surprises!

[@kwhite8012]

nice work! have fun out west!

[@PetiteSauvage]

Keith White Thanks! ✌️

[@gwilson61]

More videos would be nice!

[@windyventure]

This was a great video! Congrats :) planning out my next van as well

[@PetiteSauvage]

Thank you! And good luck on your build!

[@Seqhael]

That is insane, I am landing my van in Halifax in August from Europe and driving across to BC. Where are those mountains O_O!!

[@PetiteSauvage]

Reubs Hell yeah! Hope you'll have a nice trip! First mountains are in Banff and the second shot is just before Pemberton coming from Lillooet

[@PetiteSauvage]

This is how we build our Sprinter van, which took us under two months to complete, without any previous skills. From an empty cargo van to a DIY camper van completely off-the-grid ♡ If you have any questions, feel free to ask! You can follow the adventure on Instagram too.⇢ instagram.com/petitesauvage/

[@kinggetho]

Salut a vous ! Vous avez un super projet :)

[@konormccracken]

framtid is dope you guys are dope thanks

[@vango4127]

[@Scrambler85]

New subscriber here, excellent video and very funny commentary. Looking forward to the next video

[@PetiteSauvage]

J.G. Conumdrum Thanks a lot! Glad to have you along for the ride! 😄

[@Cindy-cs5js]

Thanks for sharing!

[@PetiteSauvage]

and thanks to you for watching :-)

[@johnrinehart]

What did you attach to the walls after the rock wool? It looks like white plastic/vinyl.

[@Kenwaldek]

Are you running standard tires? Nice vann like the style youre went for

[@charlesantoinebonintardif2482]

Salut !! je suis en train de regarder pour un project de la sorte. Quel frigo avez ous utilisez ? et comment l'intérieur vous a couter environ ? merci d'avance :) très beau project en passant

[@DaringDanielletravels]

Wow, I cant believe you were able to complete all of that work in just two months - gives me hope! How are you able to keep the mason jars attached like that? Magnets? Loved your narration, you are so funny!

[@PetiteSauvage]

Thanks so much! The mason jars lids are screwed under the cabinets. :-)

[@georgerosado5194]

Question: any problems being tht sprinter van isn't 4×4 or all wheel drive? Any difficulies getting stuck some where w all that weight? Thankyou and enjoy one another 👌 que dios me los mantengas bien siempre

[@alexbutler3670]

loved this !

[@corinneclarke6416]

This is beautiful

[@Larita334]

Beautiful job. I really like the look and size of tour cabinets where can I find them?

[@PetiteSauvage]

childofyah We build them ourselves with white melamine panels.

[@blindexil]

Salut! Combien ça couté? La van avec la conversion? Est-ce que la van a été acheté au QC?

[@rose-lineperrotey1173]

Belle réussite 👍👍

[@ritabroils6339]

It does look like insulated the floor. Did you and just forgot to mention/show it?

[@PetiteSauvage]

Yes we did! It was already there when we bought the van, custom cut foam board.

[@Hiccupinthedark]

Love your channel! And your accent :)

[@PetiteSauvage]

Dark Sunshine Haha 😊 thanks a lot!

[@manuelkranz320]

Rly? I kinda hate it

[@carpenterfamily6198]

I like it too, but can't place it. Where is that accent from ?

[@stafscheers9692]

french canadian i think

[@VictorEMusique]

Salut de Montreal! Bonne chance!

[@PetiteSauvage]

Merci!

[@jerometremblay7107]

Ou avez-vous prit vos tank pour l'eau potable et grise en dessous de l'évier ?

[@vancamerawoman7399]

Fantastic!

[@LemmyCaution66]

Just discovered your channel! Love it!!! One Q? What insulation did you use for the floor? Hope to watch you soon and I’ll start binge watching older videos tomorrow. ;)

[@PetiteSauvage]

Multiscan 0001 Hey! Glad you found it! ❤️ There was already foam board insulation so we just kept it. It gets cold in the winter but it's fine with a big carpet!

[@LemmyCaution66]

Petite Sauvage thank you for your answer. And greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪 o/

[@marilynmeador5280]

Looks great what was your total cost?

[@patrickjobling8676]

Bravo ..😁

[@BushRat253]

So awesome!

[@PetiteSauvage]

Dutch253 Thanks! 😄

[@kevinlee7534]

When will you leave for the next trip ?

[@heeeeyjai]

Great video, glad I found your channel! Where did his hair go!? 😻

[@PetiteSauvage]

jai the vegan Thank you! He was about to go crazy with all that hair in his face! 😜

[@heeeeyjai]

Petite Sauvage 😂understood!

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍Nice, thank you for sharing. 💞

[@vincentlapointe4273]

J'adore beau travail❤

[@PetiteSauvage]

Vincent Lapointe Merci beaucoup! 😊

[@kearress7350]

I really hope you put a vapor barrier in front of that rockwool and taped all sides. Otherwise the warm air in the van will condense against the cold steel of the van and you will get mold! Otherwise, nice build!

[@PetiteSauvage]

Thank you! As for the insulation I've already discussed that in here, I won't do it anymore as everyone disagree and there are two school of thoughts on that.

[@paxwallacejazz]

No vapour barrier between insulation and interior?

[@PetiteSauvage]

No, we decide not to go that way as the metal wall of the van acts as a vapour barrier. So far there is no sign of humidity. We have good ventilation.

[@Stewbular]

Petite Sauvage you use a vapor barrier to protect the inside of the steel van walls from rusting. But if extremely well ventilated esp when cooking or heating you might be ok

[@PetiteSauvage]

Yeah well there are two school of thoughts about that. We chose that one. And our heating system is an espar, so it's dry heat. Not like the propane ones. It helps a lot!

[@bonniepwtf]

Verrrrrry nice!

[@PetiteSauvage]

Bonnie Phillips thank youuuuu! ❤️

[@donnahague8983]

How long is your van from the back of the seats to the back doors???

[@visualtraveler5263]

Excellent build ! :-)

[@PetiteSauvage]

Visual Traveler Thanks a lot! 😊

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

Anything you would do differently now? New subscriber 👍🇨🇦

[@jasonlightfoot4145]

I hope yours is more reliable than mine was!!

[@PetiteSauvage]

JahSun Livinglove So far so good! Sorry about yours!

[@jasonlightfoot4145]

That's really good to hear and happy for you!

[@jimbo27378]

Bonne route ! Are you heading to Vancouver Island or Whistler

[@PetiteSauvage]

Jim Elliott We went all over BC and settled for a while in Squamish.

[@throttle_lust0439]

For the insulation that you used does it work well for the wintertime

[@tikilee7172]

Sweet Build

[@PetiteSauvage]

tiki lebby Thanks!

[@Hauler24]

Cool stuff!

[@PetiteSauvage]

Thanks!

[@bscott9741]

I'm curious. Did you insulate the floor before putting on the vinyl plank flooring?

[@PetiteSauvage]

B Scott We use what was already in there, foam boards insulation. Already cut to fit so we didn't want to change that!

[@MrAndrewrgilmore]

Your commentary is hilarious!!!! Bravo 👍🏼👏🏻

[@PetiteSauvage]

:--P Thank you!!!
