    When my husband and I were first together in 1980 or so we had a VW camper conversion. We didn't live in it but we loved camping in it. So much fun and comfy too. Had a baby and she came with easily. Such a fun time in our lives. Love the Mercedes or Sprinter conversions, too. Maybe some day!

    You guys want to know why this dude has such an amazing outlook on life? Pay attention to 1:10 - 1:25. Instead of focusing on how cold it gets in December, he marvels at the icicles his breath makes. Lovin' your videos, man.

    loved your style, footage, editing, scenery, and just in general the vibes I got from your video within the first 30 seconds! Subscribed. You're doing the exact thing I want to be doing in several months or a year. :) Thanks for sharing, you're awesome!

  • @TrentsWaterfallAdventures
    @TrentsWaterfallAdventures 7 лет назад

    Great Video. The sped up video with the environment sound and no overlay of talking makes you as a viewer focus 110% on what you are doing and how you are doing it. No one one really wants to listen to someone saying that used 3 inch plywood for the floor that they bought from a hardware store for $30. etc etc. Thumbs up from Me!

    Sprinters seem to be the “In thing, these days”. Super cool. Love the whole vibe, prob best out in country. In the cities they are cracking down on where you can park, stop n stay, etc. Even buying your own land, townships dont want trailers, RV’s, tiny homes, etc. Sucks.

    couple questions:
    1. what is the metal box you installed under the seat, and does it have a specific use?
    2. why didn't you put expanding foam insulation behind the boards?
    3. are you at all concerned that the walls of the could bend a bit and your bed frame would fall down?

    @hallhomestead9115 8 лет назад +5

    I love watching these van build outs. I've been contemplating going with a sprinter, still in the planning stages. Im curious how the prices are for repairs. That's my fear where as something like a normal Chevy cargo van might cost $1000, the same thing on a sprinter be 3 times that.

    • @Levi_Allen
      @Levi_Allen  8 лет назад +2

      +Get Lost & Discover - Yeah there is honestly tonnes of opinions out there on the topic of sprinter repairs. You can hear a lot of bad stories if you look for them, but there is also dozens of really good stories with almost repair free owners with hundreds of thousands of miles. I've been repair free for a year, and my biggest fear is a repair I'm not ready for. My goal is to have a decent amount set aside just for surprise repairs. For me the risk of a more expensive is worth having the benefits of great fuel mileage, super high roof, and rad converting community already established.

    • @hallhomestead9115
      @hallhomestead9115 8 лет назад

      +Leftcoast Thanks for the reply. I also plan to have a decent sized find for any vehicle repairs and those features are also super important for me too so sounds like Sprinter is the way to go.

    @hulqen 6 лет назад

    Thanks for a great video! I noticed that you (and many others) drill/screw directly into the walls and floor of the van. Is that totally uncomplicated? Isn't there a risk of water/moisture coming in? Should you seal all the screws/holes to be absolutely sure?

    • @Levi_Allen
      @Levi_Allen  6 лет назад +1

      I actually screwed in the floor directly where the factory holes were. I recently pulled the whole floor up after 2 years there was no signs of rust at those locations. If I wasn't going into the same spots, I would make sure to fill those holes to avoid problems.
      And on the walls I just made small holes on the structural sheet metal. Those as well didn't rust at all in over 2 years. That's what I plan to do again. Just making sure I don't screw through to the outside of the van
