Hey guys, I just found your channel and subscribed last night. I just retired at 60 and I’m thinking about doing a MB 144 build with my wife. At some point, can you guys do an expenditure breakdown on everything that you’ve done? Also, maybe in that same video you could discuss the level of difficulty of each project. Like you, I’m just trying to research everything and I want to know what I’m getting myself in to.
Hey thanks for watching us and subscribing!! That is not a bad idea to do a cost breakdown. I'm sure we can do something like that, but once our build is done! Personally we've been taking our time with ours because of the amount of research and saving for parts. So far the scariest part was cutting our first hole in the side of the van. 😉Once the first hole was cut, the rest became easy.
Hey, good to see you guys. It looks like a nice trip you had.. Dang vans are expensive to build, im only half built as well, but I'm enjoying it.. my dog doesn't shed much, but I just use the same vacuum you're using.... ✌️
@@Liimpy hey thanks for following us along our journey! It’s good to hear you are using your half built van too 😄 Dylan has a little husky in him and we might need another vacuum just for the van haha
Hey! Have been enjoying your channel and getting some good info for my build. We’re in the same general area. I noticed that you adhered flooring to the vertical metal “riser” above the step in the slider door entry. How did you do that? Adhesive? Did you first apply a backer or thin piece of plywood over the metal to smooth out the contours? I’m stuck on this step and looking for intel. Thanks!
Hey! Thank you for watching! We ended up adhering the 2tec2 flooring directly to the metal of the van. We tried to create a backing using 1/4 inch Baltic birch and it made it too thick
@@Organicallyjoanna thanks for getting back to me! I used the same method over the weekend. Worked ok. Hard to get it to stick exactly to the contours. Trying to get the van ready for a daddy daughter trip up to the mountains next month. One thing I like about your channel is you show that a “half built van” can still be used. That’s the reality of a diy van conversion I think! 😊
