In this timelapse video, join me as I transform my trusty sprinter work van it a cozy functional Tiny Home wheels! Watch as I take on this exciting DIY project, step by step and turn my work van into a comfortable camper van. Watch the entire process unfold in fast motion. From adding insulation and flooring to building custom cabinets and installing a solar power system, the entire conversion process took about 4 months.
So impressive how you did that all by yourself within a couple months great job on the van!
Thanks a bunch for your lovely comment, it means a lot to me!
Wow all by yourself in about 4mths! Awesome 👍👍
Thank you very much.
What an insane build bro! 👏👏👏
Thanks Bro!🤛
New sub here. The Tube was ever in your favor today.... your video making momos on a rainy night in NYC came my way. I was intrigued and decided to check out previous vids.
Thank you so much.🙏
Came across your channel and truly enjoyed the video. Amazing job for sure. Aloha from HAWAII
Hey there! I just wanted to say a big "Aloha" to you and express my gratitude for really enjoying the video. Your appreciation means a lot to me, and it truly warms my heart. I worked really hard on it, so it's awesome to know that my efforts are being recognized. Thank you so much!
Just think what this guy could do with a work shop and garage.
Thank you so much for the nice words.

Thanks Dude 👊 it was constantly moving things around😅 but doable🤟🙏
Amazing Job 🎉!👍
Thank you! 😄
This is good!. I would love to see you brake this video down and make several videos at regular speed so I could see how you did each step. Your craftsmanship is fantastic!
Thank you so much. I would love to, but I shot the entire build on time-lapse only. Hopefully, I will build another one in the future and document everything from the beginning to create a whole series.
Your van is truly amazing. I’d happily pay you to convert a van for me 👌🏽💯

Love the Van, and how you have put this video in a timelaps❤
Video was shot on iPhone 12 Pro Max timelaps mode Originally it was about 24 minutes long, I speed up about 2 times.
Thank you for the comment.
I was hoping to see what you used for the curtain and track in the front...
Hi thank you for subscribing my channel
Everything I used for the curtain system came from amazon.
-100 percent blackout curtains 63 inch long comes in pair (brand 100%blackout shields)
- Bendable curtain track 5 meter (brand jetec)
-pleat tape for curtain (brand MJMP)
-slip on drapery hooks (brand jetec)
I am new with RUclips wish I can add a link for you. Hope this helps.
@@sherpamaan Thanks. The bendable curtain track is news to me. Thanks again - from a former (Woodside) Queens resident.

Thank you so much Dai🙏
@@sherpamaan malai Nepalmaa pani banaunu MAN chha bhai but saman and technicians paudaina
Dai sorry for the late reply but I think you can definitely build one in Nepal, most of the materials I use are regular construction materials and some automotive materials which I am sure you can find in Nepal. I think there are really good handyman in nepal you just have to show them what you want and guide them, they can build anything I think.

Love the work but I am always amazed by how difficult it seems to be to cover the doors properly...I mean every bit of steel is covered in the van in some way except that of the doors...
Thank you and you are right especially to trim around the windows. I left the doors the way it is because I like to incorporate the color of the van in my design.
@@sherpamaan I find (with my current van - a MB Sprinter 1998) not covering the back doors pose a heat and cold transfer issue. For instance, when I try to sleep in and I have parked facing east(ish) I notice the early morning sun will heat the doors and the heat is radiated inside in minutes...
Same with cold weather camping: during the cold nights I notice the door being so cold (due to the masses of exposed metal) I get not only condensation but mainly the van gets really cold and I have a hard time sleeping...
I am building out a larger sprinter van currently in which I have covered all the metal exposed to the interior with thin plywood. Depending on the location in the van I use thin pieces of foam, rockwool and a vapour barrier to have some protection against heat transfer... Plus a finished door looks better IMHO, even though it is rather challenging to frame and cover around all the bumps and lumps.
In my case I removed the two windows in the rear door and replaced them with sheet metal and plywood and mounted a single smaller window in on of the doors which makes framing around it very easy...
Dami cha bro
Thank you so much Bro
Can you recommend me where to purchase a van from
You can purchase from anywhere, but I would advise staying away from vans that have had multiple previous owners and vans that are used for delivery in the big city and its surroundings. I found my first van on CarGurus, and Facebook Marketplace is also a good place to look."
Wow!!! You're amazing!!! You built your home on wheels all by yourself 👌
Awesome job! Whats the estimated price to get that completed?
Thank you! I think around 42k including the Van, which I bought before the Van price went through the roof and I did lots of maintenance work. Just on the build materials around 13k.
♥️😇♥️❤️
🙏❤️
How did it cost you to build it from van cost to build it self,brother.
Van and the entire build came to about 40k, give or take.
Whats up! Greetings from Brazil, quick question.. What do you used against rust? I just bought a sprinter few days ago and found rust in the same spot of yours. Thanks!
I am good thank you 🙏 I use wire brush to remove the rust and used Rust Reformer flat black spray paint made by Rust-Oleum and congratulations and good luck 👍 with your build.
Oh just remember I used two coats of the rust reformer paint and one coat of black automotive paint. Again Good luck with your build and hope to see what you come up with on RUclips!
wow, your work is so very nice, will you considered to do one for a customer,?
Thank you so much 🙏 yes definitely in the future, I have some other plans for the rest of the year but if you’re interested this one will be on sale after I film the van tour.
just wonder how the insurance works, will u not getting paid for injury in car accident with all these mods?
I have RV insurance; it's full coverage and it's cheaper than regular car insurance.
@@sherpamaan Thanks!
One ton of wood
It looks like it but the Van weighs way less than what the GBWR is
How much did you pay in taxes to get it registrated as a person-car and how did you get it crash, gas and fire tested and all of that?
Thank you for the comment. This van was registered as a passenger vehicle before I did the conversion and still is, when I first bought the van I think I paid around 300 dollars for registration, no plate, including taxes, now I have to renew every 2 years and fee is way less and in Ny if you want to register your diy camper as a recreational vehicle you don’t have to do any kind of test, you just have to have permanent bed, sink and stove, I believe and the insurance will be way less than the regular car. I hope 🤞 this answers your question. Thank you again
@@sherpamaan America is the wild wild west in that regard :D Thx for your reply ;)
🤎
what are you toalet
I made a space for toilet which is a drawer that slides out from underneath the bed, for now I use bucket 😂The shower is in the back door.
@@sherpamaan okeyyyyy😜
