How Much It Cost to Build My DIY Van: Full Budget Breakdown

[@TomMaragos]

Anyone who has watched you from the start and seen your entire build knows how hard you worked and has to be impressed. Nice rundown. Glad to see you're back.

[@utubewillyman]

Yay! She's back!

[@brickyard4313]

Your hard work really paid off …… great build young lady.

[@AFTR-FX]

A very well thought out build! This is a good example of how to apply the Post-Covid vanlife technologies (especially the power management system) and combine it with an elegant design sense. Bravo, well done! ❤

[@barythompson4781]

I have been impressed from day one with the work you’ve done on your van build! You should be very proud of what you’ve accomplished. Many people pay more than that for a fifth wheel and still have to buy a capable tow vehicle. The money you’ve invested in your adventure mobile is still less than the cost of a lot of new cars. I’m actually pretty envious. Bravo and Happy travels!!!

[@paul4835]

Impressed with your fantastic build ! Glad you are back posting videos !

[@ScottCorriea-gm7mx]

Sometimes getting things how you'd like them is worth it in the end. Nice job. Hope you have many wonderful journeys with it.

[@charleshutchings9355]

Yes, it seems a lot of money, but a Palace on wheels? Priceless! You did an amazing job on this van, and I hope it brings you much Pleasure. Thanks for the update!

[@robertgarland9342]

No matter what the cost, you have done a fantastic job building it. You can now sit back and say this is your home on wheels and be very proud of it. Merry Christmas Elisa and all the best for the new year. I'm looking forward to seeing where you end up on your road trips next year.

[@Fezzler61]

Not bad at all. Plus you did a terrific job! I hope you get years of joyful and safe travels.

[@fredhartman1325]

This is the "Beverly Hills" of vans. Everything so beautiful and perfect. Wow! I look at it and think "how is it possible to build such a magnificent van".

[@Isselsoler]

I think that invertion has been excellent especially because you feel HAPPY....you were able to do everything exactly the way you wanted. That gives you a very special sense of belonging. 😊

[@jimmichaels2319]

I think that's VERY reasonable to what you now have. Plus a plethora of new skills! Also, as a complete aside, you have a wonderful voice. I sometimes will play one of your videos while I'm concentrating on something else just to hear you talk. So thank you for that too!

[@Lexicon-de-Absurdia]

I would like to temporarily add my thanks for your information about your van. Eye opening! An excellent video as usual and good luck in your endeavors!

[@forexfrank4484]

In love with this gorgeous lady! ❤ glad you’re back

[@Blueeastcoast]

Incredible build, love it.. definitely motivated me to start a project in the coming months, Glad to see you back!

[@ebptube]

Freedom on wheels and it is a very nice build to be proud of.

[@peterasacker5948]

;Great to see your back posting ....lovely lady

[@laserwiz]

Thanks so much for the detailed cost information on your build. You musy be SO PROUD!! You did incredible work and this is coming from a retired engineer who is a profectionist. I can't wait to see more content from you. Have a Merry Christmas!

[@glennkeyes4686]

Elisa, You did an incredible job on your van. I look forward to your videos and admire you. I wish you happiness and love.

[@rprn55]

You did a great job. I’m sure you are going to enjoy it for many years. Thanks for sharing the journey with us.

[@romendoza9846]

That's what matters. You are comfortable and happy with it, and you got all you wanted. Nothing is worse than a half built van and being uncomfortable.

[@christopherhurley8694]

50k! Congratulations!. You are wonderful.

[@RG-wd6qs]

If you bought a new van conversion already done it would have cost you 2x $$ the amount, so you did a great job on the price and built exactly what you wanted! I'm looking forward to watching your future adventures!

[@Gary-ee3kq]

😂 you can get class B rvs for under 50k.

[@f350dwood]

Good job. Be proud of yourself. Enjoy it.

[@Red.Christopher]

I don’t think that is an outrageous amount for a traveling home. It came out great and It looks like it is worth every penny. Especially if it brings you joy. Thanks for sharing the process and I appreciate your willingness to share the cost.

[@ejprosse]

Great job on the final! We would love to hear/see more about you and life even when you are not traveling. Just keeping up since we all are kind of like your family. 🥰

[@stephenschuit7880]

That was a great overview: detailed, descriptive, interesting and candid. I thought your totals were going to end up much higher, so I was a bit surprised by the $65,000 total. Then again, you did so much of the work yourself. You are right: It is quite beautiful.

[@gawebm]

You built an amazing van. Incredible that this was your first build!

[@jupiterhallnh3277]

Elisa, estoy impresionado por tu creatividad, descaro, tu impulso para triunfar y, por supuesto, tu pasión por la vida mientras cuentas tu historia y nos llevas a nuevos lugares para experimentar. Eres muy genial, Elisa. Y tú eres mi KZbinr favorito. Cuídate, Elisa, y mantente ingeniosa en el camino. ¡Me gusta tu ingenio y humor! ¡Sigue sonriendo!

[@tonymorris1571]

You did an amazing job 👏

[@cactus62]

i finished my build not long ago and often thought i would sit down and itemise the costs... after watching this, i dont think i will :) people just dont realize how expensive it adds up to be .

[@husa58]

You have done a fantastic job building your home on ,wheels looks awesome watch your channel from Australia..

[@craigcardwell4143]

Yes it was expensive, but you did a beautiful job, and the van turned out fantastic. You should be very proud of your accomplishments and talent!

[@randall6890]

Hello Elisa! I’m getting my Promaster next week and starting my build on the van next year. Thank you for the inspiration, I needed that to get started!

[@viper16vet]

Exceptional final product. It’s clean and aesthetically pleasing. Looks very comfy. I like the choices you made.

[@toranzeisig4874]

You’ve done a helluva good job. Lots to be proud of. 😊

[@ernestocasal5647]

For your first time building a van it's impressive how clean, precise and sharp lines are in this van. I don't think a professional could do much better. Nice video. Merry Christmas

Great job! Satisfying.. It’s still cheaper than buying the Travato 59K.

[@joanfunci3753]

Hacia tiempo que no savía de usted. Me alegro de verla.

[@gigiddy24]

So happy to see a new video. It was very interesting.

[@MrDmlive]

Thanks!

[@soloelisa]

What a beautiful surprise! Thank you :)

[@shaneodonnell1435]

OMG you have done an awsome job on the van. Great equipment used. Thanks for the breakdown of the costs.... I love your accent btw:-)

[@johnnyrambles]

Expensive? Sure, but it looks like it's worth every penny. That Eco-Flow unit is set up very nicely for a van build.

[@stanleyolszewski7701]

Love the van. Looks great!!!

[@cybermonkey11]

Feeling of accomplishment = $ Priceless

[@LeonardGardner-s4o]

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

[@micheal5936]

Lovely build! At a very reasonalble price. Great job. 😁

[@maluminse1]

You probably want to check with your insurance company to get the proper insurance. Regular car insurance probably won't do it.

[@edp8218]

Great job on your van long time you made a video when you travel leave your bunny at home if you’re gonna get an animal, I recommend getting a dog one big enough that it can jump in the van by himself and one that can protect you.

[@Azaz-wn3lr]

U have another kind of Elegance .

[@proc4684]

You did great.

[@RVP1955]

I would be proud of what you did if I were you. Good Luck!

[@dsmj7389]

Very beautiful! You can be really proud of the job you did! Hey if each of your subscribers chips in 10 bucks that would more than cover costs. fingers crossed 🤞😊

[@soloelisa]

Thank you so so much!! Made me smile ☺️

[@Banditt42]

It's so clean. 5 minutes after cleaning any of my vehicles and it's dirty again.
