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

[@72151]

The build she did is extremely impressive. I’ve watched all the videos to date. She’s a very well spoken person and the Most Beautiful Woman I’ve ever seen.😊

[@rogermorris-zd4dp]

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE ABOUT HER STUNNING BEAUTY!!

[@gordongiswold1718]

The Van is beautiful and you are both correct, she's so stunning!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@ivanibanez1273]

If you're happy with it now, just imagine how it'll feel when you take it on long, long journeys-reaching places you once thought were out of reach. The adventures waiting ahead are endless. So happy for you, Elisa!

[@brickyard4313]

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

[@tommroy]

Fully done from a shop this would have been over $100K, so the DIY saved you a ton and in the end got you exactly what you wanted, well done, it really came out 5 star...

[@onoone58]

UNBELIEVABLY NICE!!! The best I have seen on youtube so far. To me it's worth every penny to have it this nice. I don't know if there was a way to do it any cheaper but boy it looks so so so nice. You did an oustanding job.

[@jackwild1111]

A detail oriented little bird 🐦... You can be proud of yourself for planning and building your rolling home. Nice job, ENJOY 🎉

[@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!

[@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.

[@AlanKinsella-nu4gm]

The best build I've seen by a non-professional. This is a wise build as well. She knew which things were critical to get done right by professionals, and she took her time, and it appears she researched extensively. Very impressed.

[@paul4835]

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

[@redfishradical]

Having watched from the very beginning when you were sleeping in your car… I hope you’re HALF AS PROUD as I AM OF YOU!! What a massive accomplishment! ❤️💐💥🎉🍾🥂

[@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!!!

[@KevinReed-b6n]

That’s an overlooked point: there are so many new vehicles that (surprisingly or not) cost way more than that! Like a car or SUV.

[@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! ❤

[@bigbear999]

I just want to say that your van conversion is the best I’ve seen. Congratulations!

[@jamesmason8944]

I think Elisa's father in law's help deserves to be recognised, his work on the project would be very significant.

[@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.

[@WilliamDail]

Chaching, chaching, chaching! Mama mia that's a lotta moulah! It looks damn good and it was an investment well spent! You did awesome! Your resale value will go way up. I went with a 2016 Mercedes Metris and opted for a no build interior the van was $20K with 80K miles and the interior was setup for $1k. I'm looking forward to the day I do get to build it out in a couple of years. Watching your build out gave me a lot insights and ideas that I eventually want to accomplish with my van one day. Looking forward to seeing your new adventures in you van.

[@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".

[@Fezzler61]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@Blueeastcoast]

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

[@dougjohnson4266]

Glad you are back.

[@soloelisa]

Thank you so much! 😃

[@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.

[@MithleshChoudhry-m7r]

YOUMHiii❤

[@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!

[@harleyhoracio1]

I think you did an excellent job on your van project. You gained a ton of knowledge on how to do things you probably weren’t exposed to prior to this and if something goes wrong, you’ll surely know how to fix it. In my book, that’s huge because everyone charges an arm and leg to repair things. Sort of like your travel destinations, it’s just not the destination, it’s the journey getting there that has value. Does the van have 4 wheel drive? By the way, that’s a beautiful Bougainvillea at the end of the driveway! Be safe out there and happy travels!!

[@viper16vet]

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

[@mtrow23]

One of the best DIY builds I've seen. Very nice.

[@peterasacker5948]

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

[@Francisco.Alvarez98]

Hello Elisa! Now your van only costs you $64, 403 dollars! 😉

[@soloelisa]

You are so sweet, thank you very much Francisco 💕

[@flaboy4154]

Watched you from pretty much the beginning.What a fun journey. You are quite a talented,adventurous woman. Now the journey begins. I will enjoy your travels through your endeavors- Hugs and love

[@MrDmlive]

Thanks!

[@soloelisa]

What a beautiful surprise! Thank you :)

[@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!

[@petermalik4300]

Hope you’re traveling the country to find the warmer weather. Keep the videos coming. Loving your journey from Nashville. Happy Holidays

[@christopherhurley8694]

50k! Congratulations!. You are wonderful.

[@barryc-mp9ej]

Nice to see a new video and how you priced and constructed your van! Can't wait to see your next road trip.

[@ebptube]

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

[@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 ☺️

[@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. 😊

[@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!

[@MrMobi007]

you did a great job. It shows you are happy with your build.. and you should be! well done!!

[@relaxationstationstudios]

That's a breakeven build. If needed, it could be sold for about that amount. But the love of the build, and the lessons learned far exceed the cost of the build. Good going...

[@marcelsnip4222]

Congratulations on your van conversion. You have done an amazing job. High quality materials and very stylish. Have fun with it.

[@luisluis5592]

I been watching your videos really nice upgrades beautiful van but your more beautiful 😍

[@christopherchris1111]

With the smile on your face you seemed Pleased. You did a great a job on the build. Be thankful and grateful you did a good job. may You have a Merry Christ mas.

[@danschneider7369]

You did an amazing job. The van has a very clean and homey feel. And if you don’t mind me saying, you are incredibly beautiful and sweet:)

[@davemorris6747]

Great build at a great price. My van equivalent in the U.K. was £70000. You’ll make great memories in your journeys.

[@husa58]

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

[@srhatfield]

Your van is amazing, and you've done a great job with it. I hope that you have a happy holiday season and a great new year!

[@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.

[@dannyeicher6173]

[@ernestocasal5647]

Felicitaciones, Elisa! Gracias por todo lo que haces para enseñarnos este hermoso idioma. Feliz Navidad para tí y tu familia. Bendiciones de Argentina!

[@tonymorris1571]

You did an amazing job 👏

[@f350dwood]

Good job. Be proud of yourself. Enjoy it.

[@whelsdon]

I have really enjoyed watching you, build this van into an awesome camper! You should be quite proud of yourself and all the work you did, while learning how to do so many things. Your beauty, intelligence and determination, will keep me coming back to watch more of your travels!! Merry Christmas . Elisa ♥

[@TheArtisticGardener777]

I can’t believe how beautiful your van turned out! Great job!

[@gawebm]

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

[@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. 🥰

[@_Merica_USA]

Sweet! You’re back! Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!

[@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!

[@MartinAmayaOnceFamous]

It's nice to see you again. Hope you've been well

[@AppalachianAdventures8556]

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

[@richardwagner3317]

Elisa - worth every penny for the years of enjoyment you are going to get from it. Can't wait to see where you will travel to next.

[@forexfrank4484]

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

[@elizzbethjiminez4817]

Too beautiful 😍. I'm glad you're back. Its worth it . Home on wheels . God bless you. Praying for you daily that God blesses you and keeps you safe amen . Merry Christmas to you and your Bunny and family.

[@gomito2005]

We miss you, glad you’re back

[@Johnny.D]

You really did a wonderful job building the van. It looks very cozy and inviting. Your cost is very good compared to buying a brand name, class B. That would have been a 200000$ + venture. Enjoy!!!

[@robertcurry7860]

Hola Elisa, thanks for this new video you made earlier today on this Saturday, Dec. 21st. WOW! That's a tremendous amount you spent to purchase the commercial cargo van and all the renovation you had done to your 2021 Dodge Ram Promaster Van. Please take care. Feliz Navidad, Elisa. 😏👋👋🙏🎄🎄🎄

[@newenglandstacker]

Good to see you're back! Merry Christmas, & Happy New Years!

[@davidespinosaperez9733]

Fantastic job . It’s a great layout and very practical . Like you said you’ve learned a lot and grown through the process . Really like your hair too 😊

[@4DNinersfaithful]

I have watched you from the beginning. You crushed it with all your hard work and desire! I have to give a shout out to your father in law I believe who seemed like he was working hard at it and enjoying it with you as well. Just an amazing job, take care!

[@cary.macey_art]

Thanks for sharing the pricing, been getting educated on off road sprinter van conversions.. definitely save a lot doing it yourself.. nice work

[@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:-)

[@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 .

[@MrDmlive]

Good job out of you tracking your expenses. It’s a really good build and you did things right. Luckily, you had tools at your disposal.

[@rictri03]

Great job on your van build! Feliz Navidad 🎄

[@robpeabo509]

For your $64k you now have a custom home on wheels. that you gained a lot of knowledge and skills building. That alone makes it worth the money spent. Congratulations Elisa.

[@mikedr1549]

So nice to see you! I'm shopping for a Ram Promaster 2500 right now for my van build (a simple one - nothing as beautiful as yours!!) - it's tough to find one with low mileage at a fair price! I'm curious - how is the airflow with the two MaxxAir Fans? I'm going to be traveling with my dog and my concern is keeping it cool inside with no AC.
