THIS IS THE LAST VAN I’LL EVER CONVERT

#sprintervan #vanconversion #vanlife
After a year and a half, we've finally reached the end of our Sprinter van conversion.
It took us 3 times as long as we thought and we won't be doing it again...but that doesn't mean we're done with the channel!
If you have any questions make sure to shoot me an email at [e-mail] or leave a comment!

I will never understand how your channel hasn’t exploded! Your content is so creative. Absolutely love your videos.

Agree… sooo creative and funny

[@Swimdeep]

It’s a miracle you can film at all! Your content is not only funny and clever but when you do an install or explainer video, everything is thorough and well shown. The DCVM Crew is AMAZING!!✨

First of all, im old af compared to u two, so im not your intended demographic by any means but OH MY GOD your videos are creative and entertaining as hell. I don’t care what you do, keep your humour and ridiculous wit and your audience will follow. Like attracts like - stay nutty❤.

[@dogcatmanvan]

We're happy to have you in our audience:) Thanks for watching!

[@DzinEye]

My wife and I have been following for quite a few years now, first Ben, and then both of you. Even though we're quiiite a bit older, we greatly enjoy following your adventures because of the hilarious (and no doubt very time consuming) creativity you put into your content...and the pets! We cried with you when you lost Archer. For a little while now we have kind of seen the writing on the wall for something to change...and we've dreaded you might just disappear altogether. Glad to know that you will continue to try to use that awesome creativity you both share in a way that you really enjoy and continue to share it here on KZbin. It sounds like you're exploring what that might be, and we whole-heartedly wish you the best in figuring it out. We are really looking forward to enjoying your creations! All the best to you! -Mark & Anne

[@dogcatmanvan]

We really appreciate you sticking with us for so long! It's been a rollercoaster journey but we are hopeful and excited to test out some new ideas and really sink our teeth into this next chapter. Walking away from KZbin has definitely crossed our minds, but we're not ready to throw in the towel just yet:)

[@TheBecke1983]

I found the channel because of a Van tutorial way way back, but i kept watching for all the humor and other fun content. Even more variety for the future sounds amazing!

[@lockboxDAI]

Good on you for realizing you're not into the DIY stuff anymore. I feel like a lot of vanlifers or any kind of influencer doesn't realize that they've outgrown a certain topic or lost interest, and wonder why they feel such burnout, some concluding that something must be wrong with themselves personally rather than it being a format/content issue and the cycle continues to their detriment. Just glad to see you guys posting again and have no doubt the new direction will make you happier and freer, and that's what counts.

[@scottlucas4408]

Love the humor, the interaction between the two of you, well thought out, great videos bring on the new adventures

[@gian_justin]

this channel is so underrated... looking forward to the next adventure!

[@dogcatmanvan]

Thanks for saying so! We've been trying to grow the channel without resorting to nudity or playing the game. Hopefully changing things up will pay off!

More humor, please! Loved the humor in this episode! I got a good laugh watching you as "Old Ben"!!!

About to do a full renovation to change some things that drove us nuts the past two years. Excited to see the adventures you both go on!

Why don't you guys have more followers! Your videos are so good! Shooting and building makes everything take double or triple the time. But you will be on the road soon. Let us know if you pass thought Bend OR meet up for beers.

I love the van building videos since I'm doing it myself and yours are super helpful, while also super entertaining! But tbh I watch them more cause i like you guys. So good luck with the change, do what feels right and maybe we'll run into each other when I finish my year and half long process too! Fyi: we're still in 2023😂I started questioning myself when you said for the second time you started in 2022.

[@bexnut]

I’m just about to finish building my second home on wheels too. When you put as much time, effort and attention to detail into it as we do - and it aint easy - these things are bound to take longer. I’ve gone from being ready to start this as a business to never wanting to see another van as long as I live. Still, results and graft to be proud of. I think your videos are wicked. Daft humour, creativity and a willingness to take the piss out of oneself aren’t necessarily algorithm winners. If clickable means formulaic, I think you’re winning with what you’re doing now

[@dogcatmanvan]

We are right there with you! This van has been an emotional rollercoaster and we're maxed out! At least for now:) We appreciate your kind words; we struggle with the algorithm for sure

Honestly, I have never seen a channel where a couple shows how they live the vanlife on a day-to-day basis (or maybe I haven't been looking enough). I and about 140k other people follow Ryan Twomey as he does his daily vanlife routine. He is currently driving cross country from Key West, FL to Alaska and I find it totally engrossing and absolutely love it. You both make great online content and it would be great to see how a couple live in a van with 2 dogs as they travel all over North America. I think that would be really fun to watch! Ben, thank you for all the great info you've posted over the years. I've started plans for my own van build and have bookmarked this channel for all the info that you have posted.
