The Ultimate Custom MTB Adventure Van! | Ford Transit Camper

[@jamesdiston4352]

Do you have a carbon monoxide detector fitted? The flames on the cooker were yellow which suggests incomplete combustion and a risk of CO being produced. If you are sleeping in there with your family it could be the best £15 investment you ever make. It's not called the silent killer for no good reason!

[@buckleberry]

Read this please!

[@murdoyyy]

PLEASE READ !!! As a registered gas installer I can say 100% that flame has incomplete combustion and is classed as immediately dangerous!!! Do not use the gas hob until it has been inspected, its likely the wrong injector has been fitted.

[@leetori1]

Good spot, respect

[@ericcartmansstrengthandpow5960]

We don't care about carbon monoxide, we're freaks.

It might have been a wait, but by god was it worth the wait. What a brilliant build and series. Martyn is insanely skilled, and what a great bloke

[@gmbn]

We're glad it's finished and so happy for Blake! This is one EPIC off-grid van that's for sure.

[@kjracz15]

RAL 250 60 10 is gonna stay rent free in my mind for a while. XD

[@Andy_ATB]

One word for it; Awesome!!! Enjoy......

[@sageie27]

I've been looking forward to this for so long. Well done Blake on the build and to Martyn as well. Job fellas 👍

[@gmbn]

Glad you enjoyed it! We couldn't agree more! Thanks for the support! 👊

[@jachurst]

To see this has been released made me so happy. Best series yet. Blake you are a legend.

[@gmbn]

We're so stoked to be able to show you the complete van! We're so glad you loved the series! Safe riding! 🤘

[@GANENDRAGIRI]

Awesome... that's Great Idea Mate ☺️👍

[@gmbn]

Glad you like it! :)

[@joelveron8741]

That's the happiest van in the world!😀

[@markroberts7866]

I got the worx hoover body for about £70 it’s really good shares the batteries from my hydro shot also amazing, I also got a new Vauxhall combo just over a year ago it’s basically a bike garage to and from work vehicle I had it boarded out, block pod made a fork mount rail to fit my lashing point centres with a front wheel holder and I made spare wheel holder for my van rather than buying a cage that holds a spare wheel under the van, I don’t think I’ll go back to a car now vans are way more fun if you can get one with all the comfort stuff in the front air conditioning and a nice console they don’t feel much different to driving a car.

[@xanderdixon3688]

The van looks great well done all.

[@gmbn]

Thanks very much, we're stoked you enjoyed!

Respect to Blake and Martyn for an incredible build! It take skill but also balls to take up on this kind of project! Otsukare Sama!

They both smashed this build! We're so stoked with the final product! The van is a beast! 🔥

This is an absolut dream! Happy for you and your family. Hope you share some of your awesom adventures with the van with us.

[@Snoopysails]

Thank you! You spend more time in your van than with me on the trails!!! Hats off to you and gamers!!

Really nice van. Have fun

Finally Blake! now time for more outdoor adventures!

You betcha!

Epic work Blake!

[@jasongleave355]

Building projects with mates is epic

[@chantsmantrasandrelaxation5079]

My parents took my brother and I around Europe in a VW Combivan for 18 months in 1969 (I was 7-8 years old) ! I slept in the pop-up roof 'tent' and loved it even in winter in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Best experience ever...I've travelled a lot ever after, but nothing beat the family adventuring together. Enjoy it together for aa long as you can.

Welcome back you beautiful... van! Love the colour... And the attention to detail on the respray👏👏

[@bathtubsquid1625]

Sorry mate couldn’t hear a thing you said about that cable at 18:58 the build up music was playing over you

[@pulex73]

Holy Crap! You could write a book about that!

[@rockdrop74]

Buy a rear sway bar or sumo bumpers for that heavy roof. Be mindful of how much weight you have up there and does it exceed ford's uplifter capacity?

[@takozamtbtrailscout7106]

Finally!!! Congratulations! Buying a camper van like that here in the US is about $180K. Good job!

[@seansamurai1981]

That camper is what dreams are made of.

[@carlstanton2550]

That trunking idea for the blinds is genius!

Man oh man! That van is too sick! Now for some adventure videos with the van.

[@gmbn]

OHHHH YES! We can't wait!

[@LukeMarkensMTB]

Very nice build. The only thing I would miss is a portable toilet...

[@JoeCincotta307]

Absolutely brilliant! And yes, we have all been waiting for this. Well done.

[@rcb1299]

i was just thinking about how lucky these guys are to have something like this as a job. living the dream fellas… cheers!

[@Silverfoxbuilt]

I wasn’t gonna post a comment. Like many of us, we don’t ever bother. But I’ve come back specially, credit where credit’s due and all that👍 I’m sure I’m one of many that watch this video series and loved every second! Blake and Martyn’s chemistry on camera is fantastic it’s just so genuine and honest. There’s something quite humbling when mistakes are made and shown in a build series as it actually connects with the viewer. Kudos to all the guys involved with this from Blake & Martyn to camera men and editors. Thanks for the laughs… right I’m off better get cracking on my own van if I want it done for summer! See you at the trail head! ✌️ GMBN for the win 👌

[@gmbn]

We're glad you dropped in to comment! Great to hear, thankyou!

[@frankharradence732]

Excellent series of van build videos, the end result is amazing...happy days indeed!

Can't wait to see the van out on some adventures!

[@rupedog]

VANTASTIC! That's probably the best mtb van I have seen. Great job👏👏👏👏🤟🤟🤟 Tho, yeh, sort out that gas stove... That's not right... And maybe lethal!

[@davidgough5644]

Thanks for sticking with us until the final episode Chris! Hope it was worth the wait 👍

[@SEKTAMTB]

Awesome to bump into you today bud and for giving us a mini tour of the wicked machine. Looks even more epic seeing it in the flesh. 👊😎🤘

A bathroom is a must for me. Nice van.

Agree, especially for mountain biking, or any outdoor sports.

Woohoo~! The van is superb both inside and outside.

Thanks for watching Stuart

[@danmallett3281]

Wow Blake, she is a beaut! Can't wait to see what adventures you get into next!

[@ish474]

So happy you finish this. As a lifelong Car Guy I would say that at least half of the projects that get started never get finished for all the reasons you experienced yourself. All of us need a Martin in our lives to help push us over the top or lend a hand when our skills run out. It's a hell of an achievement even with a budget and a camera crew. Anyone who's done an intense build knows that first-hand. Congratulations, those boys are going to love that thing even more than you and your wife!!!

[@JB50713]

Wow what a beautiful unit! Well done gents.

[@gmbn]

Thank you kindly!

[@vnmdog]

man, prop to blake and martin. followed this build from star to finish. blake must be so proud of this.

[@raoulkoopman9408]

This is one of those videos where I really need the ability to like it twice. Filled with positivity and the build is brilliant. Having watch 100+ hrs of van life build content this van was really well designed. Everything from the layout, to fitting Blakes specific needs, to the electrical, and even has space for the kettle (it wouldn't have been complete without it. Kudos - and I hope this van gets used heavily! be well

[@ScottRodmell]

Awesome iv watched this since you started. Wish I had the workshop to build my own. Enjoy Blake

[@benjybluehat]

Absolutely outstanding, what an amazing build. Perfect for purpose and with foresight built in. Well done to everyone involved and congratulations to the Blake and the Samson family on there new adventure vehicle.

[@Tr3zn3r]

Looks sweet! One thing every adventure van with a kitchen needs is the ability to swivel the cook top out the door because some smells you can't ever get out of your camper or van. Almost anything you fry will in no time permeate your soft materials. External cook top in a slide out cubby is a good option. They have them on some pull campers.

Van looks awesome and Blake you've got lots of memories to come from the adventures to come in it. Awesome series and content #GMBN 🤘
