Sprinter Van Conversion - Full Build Out!! (timelapse)

[@pa1attention]

This video is so endearing to me. My partner and I live in a homebuilt truck camper that he built about 9 months before I came to meet him. And to see all the work he went through before I arrived on the scene really touches my heart.

[@zorroinhell5549]

Im at minute 3:37 of watching this video and I just had to stop and post, that you are both an inspiration and an example of good hard work and its results….Adelante!

[@rot985]

wish i could find someone like her who is adventurous so we could go all around Australia once in my life. great video. i will sure add this in my bucket list.

[@IJustWant2Win]

The best part of this, is watching you TWO do this project TOGETHER!! Looks like you two are an awesome couple.

[@swervemasta]

this is definitely one of the videos that inspired me to take the plunge. West Coast vanlife awaits me. Thank you for the inspiration

[@jorgeducci6844]

So, do it to me ....

Jorge Ducci ??

[@vegangainzhue4548]

So how did it?

[@reid2359]

Very awesome build and choice of music! Saw John Craigie at Oregon Country Fair a few weeks ago and have been in love since. Glad to find others who share that love for Craigie! :)

[@KayaLindsay]

He's great! I'm stoked to be spreading his music a bit too :)

[@cosmicsurfer5911]

Very cool build and super to see a woman involved in the pride of a build. Have loads of fun and great memories.

[@BigPowerAL]

One last thing, thank you for introducing the music of John Craigie. It's exactly what I needed in my life right now! Have a wonderfully great day!

[@daniellethornton]

The best part about this video is that they’re working as a team! Great build you guys!

[@afif5860]

I've been binge watching these van conversion videos for the last couple of weeks and this is the best van I've seen. Stunning!

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

You are blessed beyond measure friend,,, to have a wife to work on it with you and to have other friends that will help out!!!!! A job WILL DONE!!!!! Looks GREAT!!!

[@mariocruz6548]

it looks beautiful you guys did a good work!! I noticed that THEESE guys took at least 21 FULL DAYS to complete this work

[@ValdiValdies]

I love the idea how bed can be used as sofa as well.. Genius !

[@MiguelFlores-nx2op]

Really appreciate the list of materials used in the description, thank you for sharing your experience !

[@KayaLindsay]

Miguel Flores you're welcome! Good luck out there!

[@kurtshellenback4869]

Holy.......................crap. Best build out video I have ever seen. Great job.

[@kochlawnservicesgmailcom]

You guys are awesome, skill and working together, that is lasting times.

[@jayfoster5756]

Thanks for sharing! I really like the countertop. I hope you get to enjoy it for many thousands of miles.

[@CarnivoreFrank]

I love the wood paneling and the bed storage. I'm a big guy so leaning towards a U-Haul type van but this would be awesome to as far as economic. looking forward to your updates.

[@dan_6915]

Nice to see there are still some cool women out there, that likes to build stuff, instead of those "daddy's little princesses", that doesn't even know how to wipe a car dashboard with a microfiber towel. Respect earned right there! 👍

[@badnews9312]

Great little how-to video, and fantastic soundtrack !. I really enjoyed it and picked up lots of useful tips seeing i am a complete rookie when it comes to this stuff. I was actually thinking of hiring a person here and there to tackle certain jobs but now that i have seen your video, I am quite confident i can tackle most all of what I want to have done by myself. I look forward to the challenge and being able to say that i converted it by myself....will make me appreciate my home away from home all the more.....happy wanderings !!!

[@KayaLindsay]

Do it! Making your project your own is super rewarding :)

[@oldbuzzard8536]

Wonderful video and build!! I don't think I've ever seen a woman so hands-on in a build before! Very inspiring!

[@ebonielyon8851]

I really love the fact that you guys obviously know what you're doing (well, maybe, maybe not.)

[@robertseratt6808]

Ebonie Lyon ok

[@BigPowerAL]

One of the best Sprinter Van Conversion videos I've seen on You Tube! Love the team work and simplicity of materials too. All the best in your travels! Cheers!

[@nikiTricoteuse]

Wow. Amazing job! Clip was fun to watch with a great backing track too. Hope you have many happy times in that beautifully built camper. You've certainly earned them.

[@1Trupurpose]

A friend of mine has one and I've been working on it from time to time. It's the longest sprinter chassis with the highest clearance roof. It has a refrigerator, microwave oven, 2 ceiling fan vents, an escape hatch (ceiling 24" x 24"), a satellite dish, 3 large batteries, 2 different size inverters, a shower, 5 video cameras with a dvd recorder, 2 fresh water tanks, water heater, etc. etc. The 3 batteries and 1 fresh water tank/water pump are under the floor...you might want to figure our if you have some space you can use under the floor, but you already got your sub-floor and flooring in.

[@anonymous_friend]

You have any photos or video on it?

[@1Trupurpose]

I don't have photos or video, but at one time he and I were making a video showing all the features and how to operate everything. He's also a little paranoid of people knowing what all is in his van because he's concerned someone will try and steal stuff. He has an alarm system and I installed 5 video cameras and a DVR.

[@jacopobelbo9098]

Guys, great job. It's so wonderful to see how well you can cooperate. Amazing.

[@brettswindell]

Awesome job and even more awesome to see a couple working together on a project like that.

[@aranwatson4301]

Amazing short. Moved by your collaboration and creativity. Thanks so much for sharing. Life is alright, ain't it...

[@fernandoullaguari9073]

If you do all the work ? That accomplishment is priceless

[@ab-te8gj]

pretty cool conversion, hell of a job. Minor adjustments needed but pretty frickin awesome.

[@BiaV4lente]

The video itself is already great, but the music OH GOD IT WAS SO GOOD TO LISTEN TO!! Congrats on your work, it looks amazing 👏👏👏👏

[@lowriderpardonme4553]

Nice work, both on the conversion and the team work. Nice to see a couple working together on things. Good Luck in all you do. God Bless.

[@altagard528]

Sweet! I own a Eurovan but Have always Daydreamed about converting a Sprinter Van; fab to see you do it. Will watch for more... Wonder what issues you find arising over time... Moisture etc....LOVED the music; turned us on to a new musician too! Enjoy the road ahead!!!

[@Windkisssed]

Wonderful coverage of build!! Great craftsmanship. I love how you both had equal participation! Good luck & enjoy!!! Lauri

you guys are pros. great job!

[@85freebird]

love your build! we also own a Sprinter, but the only thing we did was some roof insulation, a roof vent and a removable bed frame.

[@KayaLindsay]

Thanks very much! It's not too late to do more :)

[@darwinchevalier]

Great build, great photo shoot, great music!!!

[@KayaLindsay]

Thanks!

[@dagsvstheworld]

Nice warm sunny weather.

[@mcdusfl]

So nice, can't even describe with words. I'm really jealous

[@DreamInspired]

This is really amazing guys! Im adding a large topper to my F350 dually and building out my nomad room before we hit the road! Thanks for this inspiration!

[@KayaLindsay]

Good luck to you!

[@oreoprincess23]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've watched many builds but rarely do they include the price of it. Awesome build.

[@KayaLindsay]

Thanks :)

gypsi h

[@BrightGreenBug]

Such a cute space!! Great filming/ time lapse.

[@mountainconstructions]

The work and detail you put into the sub-floor and insulation is amazing. In Australia, we just throw a bed in and get going :)

[@user-pwfus]

WOW.....Amazing job love the insulation sound proofing material.

[@lonenomad8675]

Nice job guys, you have given me some great ideas for my sprinter, time-lapse is always funny, it never really shows just how difficult and frustrating some jobs , nice to see you are both still together lol, safe travels :-)

[@patriciagallo1673]

Beautiful! You two are hard workers. Enjoy your trips.

[@michelfrechette3430]

Good job! It's beautifull to see you working together as a team !

[@connorlyles6976]

Awesome video, awesome music, and awesome conversion. Happy trails!

[@alexandcassidy]

Wow saving this for when I do this someday! Thank you for listing all the parts and stuff that is so helpful. The build looked awesome. Also I LOVED the music.

[@KayaLindsay]

Alex & Cassidy glad you liked it! Check out John Craige! He is amazing and a friend of mine 😅 good luck with your future build out!

[@drivenhome7840]

Awesome and with a price list and product list, you guys rock!!

[@sledneck7398]

Wow, so much energy in that one!

[@brianjoyce3587]

This is my newest dream... what a beautiful build.

[@cleberbensberg3688]

congratulations Kaya, and you husband. I impressed with your worked, its work of dreams, i very happy. congratulations.

[@robinstood]

That's a beautiful build, hope you both have lots of lovely times, great to watch, from a fellow bus lover in the uk..

[@KayaLindsay]

Thanks! :)

[@felix_axelsson]

This is the best thing I have ever seen!

[@petermccabe1514]

Really cool video and conversion, thanks for sharing. They use a different lay out when converting Sprinters in Australia but I really like your lay out. Its given me lots of ideas for when I finally get my own. Thanks again mate and happy travels.

[@KayaLindsay]

Thanks! :)

[@junobardo376]

You might like "sprinter van diaries" lay out or their ideas as well.

[@beverlyreed4148]

You two look so happy

[@TheSabastio69]

totaly love'it, awesome work you guys did there and all toguether. its awesome to have someone that shares the same passion for the things you do

Awesome video, awesome conversion, and that is a great song, I never heard of before but it was awesome good job guys!

[@2wheelsforever174]

Great job!! Love how you style the bed into couch at the end

[@joebarniak]

very detailed. but I really would enjoy the tour of it once your comple

[@GuyCruls]

wow. that is so focused and adult. thank you for sharing.

[@gremlinsbreath]

Nice job! I was hoping you would continue with the video series as segments. Your videos had more specific information than the others that I've watched. It would have be nice to see some of the details of the solar panels, wiring and kitchen build.

[@KayaLindsay]

Have no fear! The other videos are in the works. They take much much longer to make, and since I'm on the road right now it throws another wrench into things. However, I'll be hopefully putting some more videos out by the end of the month :) Stay tuned!

[@veliagarcia3606]

You guys make a great couple, take care.

[@JYJ772]

wow. did you guys do this all in one day? this is a quite a work by watching it. I am amazed how well the process is planned.

[@ricdwe]

Great teamwork! I love it. Enjoy! Thanks for the playlist. While watching, I was hoping the music would be referenced. And you did. Thanks!

[@2wheelwandering330]

Awesome build, and the playlist is great !

[@3DVOROS]

enhorabuena a los dos por el trabajo. espero que lo disfruteis. un saludo desde españa.

[@knwldgqwst]

Just found your video. Love it! Enjoy all your hard work out on the open roads.

[@HairyBogTrotter]

Nice work! Happy travels to you!

[@susandoyle263]

Beautiful music ... great build .... very inspiring......

[@KayaLindsay]

Thank you :)

[@campingcarjoa]

Absolutely loved this video!

[@coolcatcarolena4951]

What a great build. I was gonna do a van but was too chicken to build it alone. I opted for a tiny tiny house on wheels....I subbed and I'm looking forward to following your journey and run into you down the road!

[@KayaLindsay]

Don't be chicken! You can do it :) just give yourself time! It's never to late!

[@coolcatcarolena4951]

+Kaya Lindsay haha! love your attitude! I believe it. I'm living in my tiny for now, but a van is definitely in my future! safe travels!

[@SaneLucas]

Awesome build.. thanks for sharing this process and the other videos its so kind of you..

[@boarderlinesk8media433]

Thats a great time laps video, thanks for sharing. I love the solar roof rack!

[@lv4bway]

This looks awesome - good job!!

[@MyASDJourney]

WOW... hard to believe you did all that in 11 minutes and 11 seconds! - What do you guys charge an hour? This really was a great video... I also saw a great working "relationship" that I'm guessing reflects your relationship as a whole. Wish you guy lots of fun, adventure... safe travels and many fond memories!

[@frostyone1967]

Great and very inspirational. hope you have allot of fun in it!

[@tyshannap4449]

Excellent build guys.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Fantastic,enjoy your trips .

[@CanalDuasPassagensOficial]

Good job! Awesome result! Congrats!! :D

[@delraydad7516]

almost perfect, amazing craftmanship, hard work by both. gret music, editing and camera work But once again - no toilet. Why oh why do so many van dwellers forgo this? Everyone say they want to be self sufficent but then have to "borrow" services.

[@CrystalVanner]

NICE BUILD!! you guys put in much work!!

[@wateredblades4817]

"moving always forward" what a great video loved the music also

[@ssijon]

great job on the drawers!

[@rollinwithdub6450]

Great video! Great build! Looks awesome!

[@veliagarcia3606]

Very very nice guys, have fun traveling the world rent free.

[@Bear8Photo]

that's one BIG project. I'm thinking about building my own sprinter,.. but on second thought... haha

[@MrZola1234]

Great build, and dig the tunes.

[@herveylife6812]

Awesome Conversion! Gave me some good ideas for mine. Thank you!

[@shanash1]

my god this is gorgeous. amazing job. love it!

[@KayaLindsay]

Thanks! :)

[@kridadounsattapong1533]

U thering

[@leongommers8919]

so nice, it really looks like home!

[@whodrankmymilk1]

I love this. I've been looking into this concept for a few weeks now but tonight I decided I really want this. Wanderlust hit me so hard. I used to be quite the outdoorsman but when I joined the Army I kinda gave it up. I have been out of the Army for 2 years now and I'm driving myself crazy with the hustle and bustle of college life. I don't get out of enough. And by out I don't mean going out and partying and drinking all night; that doesn't appeal to me anymore. I want to see things and travel. I want to be able to get away even if it just for a night or two. I need an outlet. I feel like if I can make this happen it will help drastically with my PTSD and reconnect me with the life I once loved so dearly. I have no intentions of quitting college as I have dreams I want to accomplish in that area as well but I need to be able to escape from time to time and I want something my dog and I can take weekend roadtrips in. Thank you so much for this. It was a huge inspiration.

[@KayaLindsay]

I'm glad this helps! Get out there! But be careful, the lifestyle can give you the travel bug and make it hard to want to finish college :) Best of luck to you!

[@whodrankmymilk1]

Kaya Lindsay Thank you for the response. Do you recommend the Sprinter? I do need something with a higher roof because I am 6'5". I don't expect to find something I can stand up in but I don't want to be completely hunched over all the time either.

[@KayaLindsay]

100% recommend the sprinter. You won't find a better vehicle for the gas mileage/size/cost than a used sprinter. Just make sure you take really good care of it because they have mercedes engines. Also you'll want the 2009 and up versions, they are 6'4" on the inside! Mines a 2006 and is only 5'11".

[@whodrankmymilk1]

Kaya Lindsay Awesome. Thank you so much for the feedback. Maybe I'll run into you out there on the road one day. Until then, hope you have happy and safe travels!

[@KayaLindsay]

You as well! ✌🏻

[@devito501]

excellent video . I enjoyed watching it turn into a epic achievement. I hope you have many adventure. thanks for sharing an regards from scotland.
