You should put a 110 converter and put a 12000 btu apartment ac heating unit in it with the evaporator on top of the van?

[@donaldperson948]

And that cost how much?

VAN TOUR: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXzaZJKkp89_b7c Thanks so much for watching! A few FAQs from the comment section: - The van cost us a total of $25,000 USD (including the vehicle), which is a VERY cheap conversion. But this does not account for the purchase of tools, machines, time, and loss of our sanity. We’re never selling this thing, once it “dies” a few decades from now, it will sit on our property as a guest house 😂 - Vehicle is 2015 Fiat L4H3 (paperwork says L5, but it depends on the country), 3L engine, 3.5t - We’ll soon be upgrading the suspension, wheels, lift, maybe some bathroom details, monitor details, etc. but not rushing it anymore - The conversion took 3 years because we were working on many other projects at the same time (this is well documented on our channel, would not recommend this approach) - The 3D printer is important for our jobs, and also lets us fix anything in the van that might break while traveling. Also lots of easy upgrades can be printed like hooks, holders, etc. - Water tanks under the van won’t freeze because they have a heating element to keep water just above freezing - The eBikes are our business & Ladi’s brain-child invention. We travel with the WinderBike & eBike V5 under the bed and charge from our battery. All our bikes can be found at mysuperebike.com and you can build it yourself for super cheap I'll add more Van Specs to the description. We have a Parts List of every component included for this van build, down to the bolts, linked above!

Your workshop isn't a w'shop anymore.. it's a Lab.. you need to offer your speciality to others..build a motorhome for your customer/design it for them

[@billmoore7133]

Heck I will give you $26k cash.

[@Gianluca-Vacchi]

So much work and there is no normal shower and toilet in your motorhome. And it doesn't look comfortable at all. Complete nonsense.

[@PeterScheidegger]

I like the outside appearance very much, die dark interieur is not my favorite, but if I would build a campervan, I definitely would copy some idea's! 👍

No words...just down right pure perfection I might add...we're simply the machines that builds the machines..our brains are the ultimate source to our operating systems to create movement and sound..and really don't need our physical body to do it..the ultimate source can do it alone...

[@flockoturtles]

Every time I watch one of your build videos, I am staggered by the shear genius and attention to detail that you two build into everything. Just WOW!

[@ReneDemmers]

I've seen a lot of videos of ‘amateurs’ making something. But what you do transcends everything. How incredibly professional you are. I haven't seen something like that often. Deep respect for your skills.

[@GilbertoRomero-q2y]

[@DuartJansen]

I've seen many van to camper conversions, but this one truly is next level! The amount of detail and space saving solutions is insane!

[@bro___ccoli1156]

U were watching wrong videos lol This build is very expensive n looks cheap Van from Temu

[@SafetyKitten]

@@bro___ccoli1156 It's functionality and modularity over looks

[@lucydolacio]

It's much more than adapting a van for a motorhome, cause you've actually produced every single piece with so impressive expertise in 3d printing, electricity, woodwork... Very impressive! 👏👏👏

[@mariocooke5463]

I can't stop thinking about how admirable you two are. You turned all negatives into positives. Where so many sank into a depressive state, you turned the closures and lock-downs into a very creative an productive period of your lives. You built the shop and the living quarters. You built the cabin. And you did the van, just in time for the economy to re-gain momentum. We are all inspired.

[@scherre]

Wow! I've watched a lot of van builds and none have come close to being as creative or inventive as you have. You're definitely the first I've ever seen to have a 3D printer on board in a van/tiny house and also to use one so extensively in the build out. And all the parts you printed just take the organisation and functionality of the van to a whole other level. The kitchen cabinet with the perfect slots for your canisters, glasses, etc and all neatly covered by the roll down door was super impressive. I can see this inspiring many future van builders to start exploring all the possibilities when you use 3D printing as another tool. I hope you enjoy some awesome travels in your lovely van, you've certainly worked hard to earn it.

[@MSmithNYC]

I've really enjoyed following your journey over the last few years! As a licensed mechanical engineer, I've especially appreciated your attention to important details and your creative ingenuity. You two seem to have a level of patience, humor, ambition and chemistry that's genuinely inspirational. Now you get to finally enjoy the fruits of your labor - and what an impressive labor of love it's clearly been! A sincere thanks for sharing these cinematic glimpses into your lives, and I hope you continue to memorialize your adventures! I wish you all the best as you make beautiful memories together in your new home-sweet-home-on-wheels and I can't wait to see where the future takes you next!

[@_D_A_V_E_]

Spectacular attention to detail. Seems like there’s nothing you guys can’t manufacture or design. I built a basic camper from an LDV high top minibus years ago and I wish I had the same skills and tools to have reached your level of detail. Really makes me appreciate the amount of money, time and effort you guys put in. It’s a massive undertaking that I don’t think most people fully realise. Really enjoyed the video and watching it come to life.

[@mickymidnight1]

This is the best van conversion video I have ever laid eyes on, absolutely brilliant and well planned out as well as a spectacular execution. Well done

[@Nob-c3j]

This video as you have seen is NOT even worth it, but, for them being in Chechnia is good enough. This is all they know. This is mediocre at best; I have seen better, and I am quite disapointed how they put the basics in their van. Their insulation in the van is cheap; they do not even put extra rubber padding around around the door openings to stop the adverse weather from entering the van - which I found if they sold this van as a cheap disserverice;

[@ladiandmargaret]

There certainly are batter conversions than this. We build it for ourselves and shared with the world through youtube.

Wow, this build is absolutely mind-blowing! The attention to detail here is simply phenomenal. From low-voltage relays to the intricate 3D-printed parts, every aspect of this project showcases a dedication to perfection. And that fuel gauge for the water? Pure genius! It's truly inspiring to see how this build addresses numerous small "issues" with such innovative and creative solutions. The use of kitchen containers is both elegant and incredibly practical for a moving vehicle. Overall, this is hands down one of the most impressive builds I've ever seen. Major kudos to the creator! 🙌👏

[@mukkaar]

Hey, I have pretty cool idea that came from your toilet setup. You could install walls that you can raise up, or some shower screen system, so you can have full shower room inside the van, or even just toilet with privacy and some odor blockage. Basically you could have full shower/toilet inside cabinet. Or even just loose waterproof elements so you can assemble one relatively fast that are stored somewhere. That lid already acts as one such an element, you could then need 3 more. Other idea would be to have installation points in roof above it for some flexible shower screen, maybe from some waterproof fabric. Honestly this would probably be most efficient way to do it, maybe just not the prettiest as roof would have some stuff.

[@henningms]

Awesome build! Been following for quite some time and amazed at what you’ve accomplished😄 One question regarding the indoor bathroom: Do you plan on adding any «privacy» features to it? Didn’t catch it but I imagine just the head popping up 😂 Also, how’s the shower working out? Do you have any curtains etc to prevent splashing water across?

I am not easy with compliments. 50 years in engineering QA/QC. What you have done is extremely impressive. The knowledge & skills involved are extensive. Concept, design, execution, workmanship, aesthetics - all top notch. It is not built as a pure recreational RV, so comparisons are difficult, but I doubt any commercial builder anywhere will equal the quality (materials, build, finish) you've put into this van. And if they did, prices would start way beyond 120,000 Euros. Question: why would it ever die ? You've mitigated corrosion, and probably have the knowledge to maintain/fix the mechanicals ? 👍 Long live you and your van 🥂🏖🎉

Design is flawless (thanks to your previous experience in van life), work is professionally executed from wood working, to plastic / 3D printing, to painting, to sewing, to electricity, to plumbery... And the videos themselves are fine pieces of art in terms of rythm, diction (I almost didn't need subtitles 😅), editing... Now just subscribed, and will soon start the other topics like conttainer and workshop 😁 Keep it going guys 🤘😎

I gotta admit, some of the ideas that went into this build are pretty danged impressive. Well done!

[@psychkosys]

Good job. I've converted several vehicles including a sprinter and a city shuttle bus. I know everyone has advice and pointers and I sure wish I could have given you a couple before you started. No matter how much insulation you use that dark color is going to cause problems in the sun. Likewise, the skylights will be nice looking up at the stars, but glass is such a poor insulator and heat and cold are going to give you issues...even with the shields you devised. (I made something VERY similar but you can still feel cold and heat leaking in around them.) Paticularly heat since you are going to want to park in the sun to charge your batteries when not plugged in to shore power or running a battery isolator. That being said your attention to detail was excellent and craftsmanship was spot on. I wish you many good road trips. Enjoy your rig!

[@ladiandmargaret]
