If anybody is on the fence between this one and a less expensive version that you don’t know the build quality….. go with this one. As a Skoolie owner I can tell you that if your rig is not built well…. Things will rattle loose and tumble down quickly. Great job you two. !!

What are the cons of having a skoolie vs a van?

[@K9Mike]

This was a lot of fun to watch. You guys put a lot of love into this, and that’s not even touching the camera and editing work. Whew! Ya’ll were BUSY!❤

[@nilsjohansson6311]

Nah living in a van like this without making it by yourself takes away so much joy of owning and living in it

[@RustyCas999]

A lot of people just don’t have the skills or experience to build out a van from scratch. And no, not everyone can learn to do it. But they might still want a van like this and have the money to buy one because they are really good at their “day job” such as marketing, writing code, day trading, etc

[@nilsjohansson6311]

@@RustyCas999 bro i ain't sending no hate. its just my personal opinion.But fr, anybody can learn if they really want. But for ME, I'd want to buiild my own van. But there are others who doesn't. I don't really care.

[@onetruebob_tj]

You guys have outdone yourselves! Beautiful build. Love the layout and colors. 🙌🔥❤️

[@KelsAndJay]

Thank you!!

[@marionk995]

@@KelsAndJaywhat did you do to your hand? 🤕

[@waynec2962]

looks good! I've seen a few people starting custom van build companies over the past few years and slowly they disappear! it's an expensive business not only for the builders but for the buyers. I hope things work out for you.

[@serenityplantation7638]

Yeah just another social media fad

[@Murrea65]

Wow what crazy amazing build hope you guys are doing great in your business adventure! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@thomasseedle9103]

I have a 1999 Ford Econo van oh I work and live in it 90% of the time and I really appreciate your tips Jay is a clever guy I’ve been watching for two days on and off that was cool in your bus days I don’t know how you don’t kill one another ha ha I’ll keep watching good luck

[@gordonjohnston684]

You can now buy tile effect boards for the shower cubicle, they are waterproof, no tiling grouting and they are considerably lighter.

[@slimqtiee]

This was a thoroughly satisfying van build video! Your talent and passion show in the beauty of this van. Also, I watched the van tour and it's gorgeous 😍 Love the pops of color and balance of white and wood 🙂

[@KelsAndJay]

Thank you April, that's so sweet 💛💛

[@dirkhartman9572]

hey, hows it going? i want to say that JESUS the SON OF GOD is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE, and trough believe in JESUS you can be clean of your sins and be SPIRITUALLY ALIVE! so you wont go to hell but too heaven

[@chaitu9339]

This is so beautiful! You guys made the work look easy .

[@CavityCreep1]

This was so cool to watch!

[@edenbreckhouse]

IF you sell the van for the $100k asking price have you worked out what it works as for your hourly rate$ For example, if you clear $10k and it took 1000 hours to build then your hourly rate is $10. If you're going to run this as a business then you need to know this kind of stuff.

[@KRVKENx]

I disagree with this comment. I think ROI is more important. Say you bought the vans for 40k-60k, convert just one a month with roughly 10-15k worth of supplies, sell them for 100k then that’s $25k-$50k a month. I wouldn’t think about the hours you’re putting into it. The moment you treat it like a hourly job you’ll take yours guys obvious joy out of doing what you’re doing. Although I’d sell them for more than $100k this day and age. Vans like these are freaking expensive rn. Not looking to argue just think the opinion I had was a valid and worthwhile mention.

[@serolog2]

​@@KRVKENx that logic is for fun, not for a scalable business

[@serenityplantation7638]

Everyone and their mom can and IS building vans now because there’s no originality in it anymore. Ppl are just buying camper products and putting them in a van. It was special the first few times. But watch enough videos and you will see the same vans over and over and over.

[@sykesy6699]

Yeah your talking more in the region of $180-$225 000 for a newly converted sprinter camper so don’t you worry your little self about their profit; trust that it’s plenty and look at the enjoyment of the pair of them❤️

[@Brucey]

@@serolog2if you begin to resent your business, you won’t want to put the hours in that a passionate person would. Also to add to the original comment, if they did 12 hour days everyday for 30 days (1 month), then they’ve done 360 hours each. £25k-£50k per month is £35-£70 an hour each. That’s VERY good.

[@stevenannett1739]

AWESOME!!! You guys have got this ! Van is incredible...Great build

[@KelsAndJay]

Thanks Steven!!

Kel's n Jay... I like you van conversion, hope you can sold your first van and do the second van concersion video soon. Congrats from Brazil

[@amystewart3363]

So beautiful!!! I wish I was in a place to buy this van. I am still a couple of years away. So keep building!!! I hope to be one of your customers.

[@pkboo46]

Very good Job. If only I was twenty years younger. Jay your such a talented person and Kels you are his inspiration. Good Luck With the Sale I hope it is soon.

[@nasiramaru7513]

Wow. This guy can do carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and engineering.

[@JustLivn_Life]

I love watching van conversions into tiny homes! GREAT WORK!! I am also trying to find others who can reach out to this awesome 76 years young woman who could really use some help with insulating, framing, and a means of showering, etc in her van. She has been living in her van full time for 2 years now and only recently got a portable air conditioner, but I dont think she has enough solar to run it very much each day. The same with heat in the colder months. With the rising cost of everything she couldnt make it on a fixed income and had to go back to work to get the necesseities to survive in the van. So please, if there is anyone out there who can provide any assistance to her or if you know of someone in the LosAngeles area who can help her with anything please do so soon, as the weather will only get hotter as we get the summer months. Here is a link to her shoutouts and a walkthrough of her van. L.A.V.A Lindy's Awesome Van Adventure kzbin.info/www/bejne/enSlfohqetiEibc

عالی بود،به این میگن یک همکاری درست.ون شما بسیار زیبا شده.❤❤👌🏻👍🏻

[@TeamSEEK]

I came here looking for ideas. It's too beautiful to imitate. wonderful.

[@heatherfeather1293]

I want a van EXACTLY like that one! Amazing job!

[@graemeday4195]

I know this comment is a few months after you did this, and hopefully it has sold now. Probably our best converter in the UK, is Van Life Builds. You should check their vans out for some inspiration, as I've not seen any US converters do anything similar. Great build and all the best.

[@Daniel-kj8kj]

Great work. A common sense advice: It is always a bad start to try to cover your expenses selling the product overpriced, you should do exactly the reverse, sell it cheaper first and then the sales will come so you can afford to rise the price. My brother does exactly the same error with his start-up and he wonders why he is not selling :D

[@asastungaa1064]

Don’t really think this advice applies to camper vans

[@alexrailton2067]

They're not bulk producing stuff to sell to a mass market. One month to build one product for a limited market, and your advice is to not even cover expenses? Lol

[@rosscollier3992]

You can see from this video the high quality of the build. So much better than some of the mass produced stuff.

[@simonrutherford5738]

Nice build but how much does that van weigh? I see so many nice builds but the GVW of the van is not considered.

[@straightarrow6352]

Great build video, quality work.

[@RustyCas999]

I think building the electrical system (and probably the water) on the bench makes a lot of sense. The goal would be to make it easy to disassemble and then reassemble in the van, because chances are you’re going to need to repair or upgrade it eventually. Also, the frustration of building something in a difficult environment (close quarters, hot, etc) does not result in your best work. Thanks for this idea (probably pretty common, but I’ve just not seen it done like this).

[@redpandabus-adventuresinlife]

Kel's n Jay you guys are amazing. I love the previous video where you showed the basement. That sir was an amazing impressive build. 10 gold stars!!💜💜💜

I love inspector 😂

[@SimonPower65]

What a very impressive conversion. When finished with tanks full, provisions and clothes loaded with driver and passenger. Is it anywhere near its max gross weight? Im doing a conversion soon and just wondered what to expect weight wise. Many thanks for the very interesting, educational content. 👍

[@wendyraymond1751]

So very beautiful so proud of you both you are a very special couple the perfect team your videos brighten my day always thanku so much love an God bless always from Cyprus x

[@franky32194]

for me it was the best decision ever. I got divorced at 30 no kids i decided to sell all my stuff and buy a van i am literally saving 3-4k a month its been a year and I don`t regret it.

[@user-me2ji8id1h]

I wonder how much weight you have added to that vehicle as everything looks ten times thicker and heavier it should be for its purpose.

[@sharibenjiemahigab9260]

You guys are hard workers!! Brilliant

[@KelsAndJay]

Thanks guys!!

[@KickstartYourVision]

Nice video! And great teamwork💪

[@terrymcdermott5276]

That must be near maximum weight. People always forget that when building campers.

[@garybaumgart6262]

Hi, I greatly enjoyed your video. However, what impressed me the most is the trim around the read doors of the Sprinter Van. It is the last thing that I need to do and I am looking for some help on how to make this look nice. I had purchased a passenger van and threw out all the headliner. Well, now I need to build some.

[@maalat]

Kindly show the entire finished renovation. Seems you did a great job.

[@mikeoppie]

nice video would have been nice if the sale of your first built camper was filmed to including investment and profit

[@coreyhamilton6485]

Sick I like how you did the floor, that’s how I would do it but I see so many other techniques it made me doubt myself.

[@gabrieldillon11]

Fantastic job you too and a lot of thought and efffort gone in to it

[@Wesley..]

Where is the overview/internal tour/end total end result?

[@jennifer97363]

Why didn’t you show the finished result? 🙄

[@Minnie-m3t]

Cause they don’t want your crusty eyes seeing it😒

[@btorkoy]

why you didn't show the final result? I'd like to see

[@rangerider51]

Some people really know how to do this stuff.

[@TertiarySequins]

How many couples are out here doing van life and also trying to make money on social media instead of working? I think I saw about 10,000 "Van Life Expert" videos haha

N I saw 100000 people/year applying for 9-5 job. 🤣

[@assortedmusic1545]

[@pasifsc]

Really nice job. I am very interested how much weight this build added to van?

[@Chefsantatravels]

Wow you make that look so quick and easy lol only kidding guys it looks fantastic and you should be proud of the work you guys do I pray for your success. Stay safe stay strong stay healthy God bless and enjoy life.,✌💪👏💖🎅🚌🌻

[@KelsAndJay]

Haha if only it were as easy as this timelapse makes it look, right?! Thanks Chef, hope you are doing well!

[@allroad22]

Great job , congratulations.

[@javiermartinez5542]

Un trabajo fantástico, pero como yo siempre he tenido aversión al trabajo físico y al bricolage, pues...me la tendría que comprar nueva. 😃

Wish I had a garage that looked like production shop. Tip; Slow the sub titles down. I can't read that quick and focus on what's happening in the video

🎉awesome!! Is there a final tour?

Where did you two learn these amazing skills?? Good luck in your new venture.

[@Murrea65]

What type of build would you recommend for just the weekend warrior?

[@gew12]

It would of been nice to of down a tour at the end so we can actually see it

[@KelsAndJay]

Here's the tour: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opSmqoapnbWnoKc

Why didn't you show the end result instead of showing your assess?

[@SeizeTheAdventure]

How incredibly inspiring! 🏔🚐💨

[@user-go6cj3zw9m]

This is a nice looking build, but I have to ask. how much weight did it add to the van? It looks like you added a lot of weight. Does anybody build a nice looking lightweight van?

[@lee_voug8357]

Hi what is the title of the songs you used? You guys did a great job on that van!

[@somethingoutdoors1412]

I hope you guys sell it. If not hey, consider it your new home.

that floor it gets down with extreme temperatures

[@raulaitpaev5913]

[@snapy2430]

it looks amazing but we didn't see the whole interior finish 😅

[@adamthelemon]

If you have a mobile home? What happens when you wanna have Internet connection or electronics like a TV or pc.

[@yoiashi]

I just want to know how wide and long is the bed? Dont seem long enough for a normal height male to fully extend his legs and body

[@doug2078]

Nice Job !! I hope it sells !! 👍

[@therealreal5777]

one day you guys need to build me one

[@user-wi1em3do3b]

[@TheShelbyCamperVan]

Did you rent that space for your renovation? If so, what type of place did you rent it from? And what state are you in?

[@Lisam880]

I am just beginning to look. How much does this build cost. I would only expect a rough estimate. I love your work. It’s gorgeous.

[@gabrieldeherrera7527]

What ac/heater and plumbing did you use?

[@user-sl7ki4ip7v]

I wish we got to see how it looked at the end…

[@maggiebrattoli383]

Hi. Great video and beautiful van. Do you mind telling me what type of LED lights you’ve installed on the ceiling?

[@rabbigrape]

Yea great video up until the end. Ever see a great movie only to be disappointed at the end? Did you purposely forget to add the "before and after" big finish? Or are we supposed to mentally put it together ourselves from the bits n pieces of the video?

[@jgn2112]

Why do so many van time lapse build videos never show the final product? Why no tour of the finished van?

[@junquiaot3706]

Approximately how much would i be saving if i decide to go this route rather than buying manufactured van camper?

[@darrendeases6433]

Did you guys end up selling the van after all? And if so was it worth it at the end ????

[@Hesss227]

Good Job guys.. 😊😍

[@HackerL96]

Big mistake not protecting your insulation against moisture. It will get mold long term.

[@amazon4716]

Don't just build it to what you like. Wait till you have clients They will tell you what they want.
