How much did it cost to make it?
Hi absolutely love your vans keep up the good work. Where do you buy the moss and ceiling warm white rope lights from?
Hi, do you sell your vans?
This van is SO nicelooking, so smartly made and stylish!
Thank you!
Another awesome build by you guys. Would love an in-depth video on how you made the shower in this one.
My husband and I lost the house we raised our kids in, in the 2008 stock market crash. We might have been okay but he broke his back at work and right after I got a diagnosis that required radiation...my health insurance was CRAP and with him not able to work at the time and me working in commission only corporate sales while I suffered from radiation sickness, we just got buried.
So we're back to renting. I want a mobile tiny house, or renovated RV, bus, 5th wheel, van, something. I watch these type of videos ALL the time. You two are SO good at this. And with millenials and Gen Z not being able or not wanting to buy, you've made a great decision in building this business. I wish you the success and I hope you wake each day and are passionate about what you do. 😊
Hi guys, your expansion from the van is the burner!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I finally have an awesome floor plan for my own van. Thank you for your work. You are great.
Supernice van!
Absolutely loving the pocked door! I am trying to work out details for my own pocket door for my mobile PMU van! Solid inspo! I will try and sort out the details by watching it 10000 times
If you make a tutorial series on how to build the van builds, I'll buy them, :)
Amazing! Just by looking at the finished result, I can truly see that you both put your heart and soul into each and every build. The video just helps put into perspective the depth of love and time you put into all of your projects, not to mention all of the video editing time. The video of the whole process was great to watch and you guys are doing an amazing job, keep it going!! :)
Thank you so much for the kind words. This made our day!
another amazing build. Thanks for showing the details. Get so many great ideas from you 2.
Exhausted!!!You obviously know what you’re doing and it’s a great van build. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏻
What a stunning work! Love it!!
Wow what a build! Stunning design!
Dude! You are awesome. Thank you for this. I really want to do this, so awesome!
Omgosh I want one I want to travel all around with my little family and enjoy mobile life with your creation!!!!
Seeing like this, it just mind blowing the planning of it , and the details driving you have. (Thanks to your mum (maybe) for the cushions 😀)
Wow Guys, that is probably the best & classy vans I have ever seen, very well done, you should be proud. Cheers & enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys! Love what you both do always. I’ve left comments before, I definitely have taken bits of inspiration from you two for my own builds. I’m wrapping up my second van build right now, and running into some stree with my electrical system. I’ve consulted three different people with varying levels of electrical knowledge and haven’t been able to troubleshoot the problem. Really thought I did everything right! Do you have a contact email or some way that I can get in touch with you? I’m sure you’re both very busy, but if you’d be willing to lend an experienced set of ears and eyes through photos and such I would feel so grateful! Let me know what I could do.
Much love from Montana!
This is one of the best I've ever seen
I love the shower concept. Fantastic!!!
Absolutely amazing
Another Amazing build, hope will see you soon again in Santa Cruz 😉
I love this videos! Thanks for sharing!
Stunning
I knew I was gonna love it as soon as I saw the sky light 🥰🤭
It’s a game changer 😊
@@scarletandseth So, give us the info on the Skylight. Where can I get one?
Do you guys attend training to build? You guys are awesome! The details, designs, and finish products are always impressive and outstanding. If you need extra help I want to learn from you guys 😊🙏🏻
You guys rock!
Every one you build is amazing.
Thank you!
Love the design we are interested in purchasing juniper
You guy’s make me want to get one. 😍
I love your builds and even more I love that you show the whole process! Do you by chance have a link for that cute little 12 volt oven?
Honestly we aren’t super impressed by the oven. It takes quite a while to cook anything so we probably won’t include it in future builds.
@@scarletandseth Hey thanks for the honest review! I will keep searching!
Great video. Thank you.
Always love y’all’s builds. Another beautiful van. One thing I’ve always wondered is what size of plywood you use for your cabinets to make sure they aren’t overly heavy but sturdy enough for everyday use and van life. Again beautiful build.
Depends. We will probably do a breakdown of this stuff on one of our next builds since we get asked this a lot! We do always talk about it on our daily checkins on Instagram when we are building so follow us over there for more day to day stuff.
I love the refrigerator being raised up and not sitting on the floor.
So do we!
My favorite!
I love all their builds, but this is my favorite so far. I need a build that can fit a laptop office and a desktop with a 48 c1 TV as a monitor and this can do it. Only think it lacks is a toilet.
Both of you have done very well in design and build keep up the awesome work. Maybe in the future a van for 4 people ( sleeps 4 ) in. Pro master or something small with a shower and a cadet timer ( don’t like compost ) hehehe
Yes, thanks for the sneak peek...
Super nice van ! Are y’all still making videos?
Cool timelapse video. You did a beautiful job. It seems like you had experience with building before, is that right?
This is awesome! How long does it take to build from start to finish?
Doing a Scion xB right now as my first., Gonna go bigger if this works!😁
Would be cool to see you guys do a rv/trailer
Hi, love the build. What thickness ply do you use for the cupboards please?
It is a hard work but it is very important to make a home on wheels 👌
Another amazing van . And has anyone told you you look like dualipa 😘
what do you guys use for grout between tiles ? sikaflex ? van looks epic !
Hi Seth and Scarlett, big fan of you. I'm also building my van now. Do you have a detail video of making the window box (at 7:45 of this video). Like what kind of wood you used to get that curve and how you connected those 2 pieces? Thank you
This is a little difficult to explain over a comment response but we may make a video on it in the near future. Also, while it looks cool, to do again we would probably just do a square box for the windows on the back!
How much time did this conversion took in total? Thanks!
Nice skill
So get a beefy frame van that can tow some good weight, has a big diesel engine and doolies. Convert the fuel system to run on used cooking fuel, then get a decent size enclosed trailer. Put your reasonably sized dirty cooking grease storage tank in there, grease fuel filter system, battery bank and solar equipment, and more. Don't forget to put a big thick umbilical cable for the inverter to connect to the van through the trailer tongue and wiring to the van. Then you will have a fully sustainable rig with free fuel as you collect from places that allow you to drain their garbage grease vat for them. And you'll have the freedom to set up your trailer with a bar too or whatever you want. Yet still having the van rig as your cozy living quarters with energy efficient appliances keeping you warm and entertained. Upgrade your suspension to aur ride for smoother trailer towing ride. Don't forger the easy hookups and quick pump start switches for the hoses and pump on the trailer outside too so when you roll up on those grease dumpsers you can drain it like a ninja in the night.
Hola 👋 .
Preciosa 💖 camperización 👏👏👏👍
Crushing it again! I thoroughly enjoy every bit of the content you two out out. I don’t think I want any other videos on RUclips so intently. I am just getting going on my second build, I was very curious how you accomplish those beautifully sculpted trim? I saw some scoring cuts on the back side where the pieces made bends, is this how you accomplish that level of curvature? I would greatly appreciate any nuggets of wisdom there as I aspire to create some elements in my build as beautiful as you two do.
Thanks for the support. Honestly I would recommend fabric wrapping them with vehicle/heavy duty fabric. While they look great it takes forever and I’m not sure of the payoff is worth the effort. This particular van happened to be blue so we needed to cover them, but probably wouldn’t have if it had white doors.
Hey Mate, Lady.
Stunning built, Could i ask what size is this van? And or the base? In meters? From New Zealand?
Style amazing to see you work on your rig. Once your plan is done and you have all your building supplies, how many man/ hours would you say it took to complete this art of work?
Each van takes us about 1000 hrs to complete.
@@scarletandseth 500 each
@Scarlet & Seth can you please share with me how you did the floor? Where do I buy those octagon things from? It's beautiful!
How much would it cost to custom build a van? How long will it take for the project to be completed? How much would it cost to buy an already renobated van with minimal customisation of any? Do i need any sort of lease to park wherever i want for the night?
i love this build what is the price
I'd like to see a build with a bed toward the front for once.
This is amazing… would it be possible to have a smaller dedicated bed that you don’t have to make and disassemble everyday and have a wet storage for boards and hiking/snow stuff or for a dog
What song is playing? Your vans are always done so well.
Hey, I was wondering what you used for insulation? And what are the strips on the floor after the killmat
The strips were poly iso insulation mainly to make the floor sit more evenly then 1/8 inch foam over top before the sub floor. The insulation on the walls etc. is 3M thinsulate
Bravo
What kind of wood do you use to make furniture?
Who makes the skylight? It looks great. Might look nice in my rig too.
It’s a dometic heki 2
Great build and video! What did you guys use to fill the gaps in the plywood wall panels before painting?
Which wall panels are you referring to?
@@scarletandseth hey thanks for replying! I was referring to the panels you used as the main walls in the van (I'm assuming it was plywood). At 11:47 in the video the seams between the plywood and the screw holes are filled and I was curious what you used. I was looking at normal joint compound but didn't know if it could hold up to all the driving without cracking/separating. Thanks!
Such a beautiful van
Is it 144 wb or the 170 one
This is a 144” wheel base.
Where is the 2v oven from.. out of everything listed I don't see a link for it!
i really hope you guys convert a brand new brightdrop ev600. i know its super brand new and getting one is gonna be difficult buuuuuuut... I'm hoping. heard the range is only 300 miles max but most vans now avg about 350-400 miles per tank. imagine 700w solar being able to charge them batteries.
If only had had these skills and the $$$
Do u guys sell these? If so where can i get more info
A couple of question … what was the color white you used? Very soft without being creamy. Also what were those clips that hold the shower curtain on the rod? Last question how did you find working with the cane, i.e. Did you soak it? Spline it? Staple it? Thanks!
We answered a lot of these questions in Instagram in our daily check ins of the build so follow us their for that on the next one!
do you guys ever sell these or are these builds custom orders
How did Y'all seal the back ski light? The roof ribs on my van ski light are leaking and I am not sure how to fix that? THANKS for a great video!
There are custom inserts that are 3D printed to fill the ribs on the skylight.
@@scarletandseth I have access to a 3d printer that prints 39x24x24. Where can I find a model?
I was wondering what the stripes were in the stop motion but I suspect that you use led lighting, and that's hard to correct with a stop motion animation.
Regardless, great video, gives a great overview of the work that goes into making such a beautiful build. Very inspiring!
It was actually the old fluorescent lights in our shop space.
@@scarletandsethah!
How much was the cost overall?
Stealth van build next
Are you professional van builders? This one is really impressive!!
Great video, thx 4 posting!!!👍
What is the weight this motorhome? I’m only asking to see if I could drive it on a car license in the UK
Hey I’m wondering what skylight you used for the roof, been looking for one that size for my caravan. Thank u
I believe it is Dometic Midi Heki. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy from a US supplier. I have been looking for my van conversion. I know people are taking advantages of your videos and copy your work but I wish you guys share the details of your supply @scarletandseth There are not many sources for beginner van convertors for skylights. Thank you for all inspiration.
Yeah this is true, honestly we don’t have any supplier, we are usually finding them wholesale on eBay and importing them from Germany so it’s quite a time consuming and expensive process. That also means once you buy it there’s no link to share anymore. The one we used in this van is the Heki 2.
Who makes the Side windows?
Where is from that skylight and size in cm please?
Nosotros estamos camperizando nuestra camioneta "LA CHOCOLATA, muchas ideas que nos presentan nos van a ayudar en estos momentos, sobre todo el baño. Si vienen a México y vienen al estado de Oaxaca, nosotros estamos 4n el Istmo de Tehuantepec, aquí tenemos un rancho donde vienen a acampar varias Mothor Home de varios países. ¡Son bienvenidos!
Price for this van or similar?
Loved this video!! How much would it cost us if we wanted to buy one just like this one?!
We aren’t currently booking custom orders but this exact van will be available in September!
@@scarletandseth very interested! what price range will the van be set up at? would like to be ready to send a bid in!
How much you spend money for all this beautiful van
🙏Magnifique 👍🥰
Subscribed! 🔔
I wish i could learn how to do that!
@Louis The Van
Wondering how much a van of that size costs and costs of a similar build. I’m vary interested in trying to move to van life but have only recently started saving money an I know vans are pricey would appreciate input from such a well versed person.
The vans themselves have definitely gone up in price over the last few years and are especially hard to get now. However it is without a doubt our favorite way to travel but we also just like to live very minimally so we enjoy it even if we aren’t traveling.
Can you please do the link to the vid😊
She is beautiful ❤️😍. I'm talking about the Van of course
Do you sell the vans after building them? If so where?
Yes. They are available typically when the tour goes live on our RUclips channel. You can reach out through the contact link in any of our videos.
Would be nice if the fast forward mode can be turned a little slower. ❤️
@LouisTheVan roughly how much did all the materials cost?
Each van is different in terms of materials pricing but things are getting more expensive to build these days. We don’t have the exact numbers for this one on hand.
Where are you guys located and how can someone contact you for a build
It’s the website they have listed in their caption. I’m going to save save save and with lots of hard work, I’ll contact them and hope they are able to recreate this same exact build for me in a couple years time.
I live in Australia. How can I get you guys to build me a van or buy one built?
We only do a few a year in the US and I’m not sure what the import would be like for that.
Oh, approximately how much money you spent building the trailer? (Not including the Van)
❤️❤️
Was that radiant floors?
It was a 12v system! ☺️
What is the interior height ?
