    Anyone who has watched you from the start and seen your entire build knows how hard you worked and has to be impressed. Nice rundown. Glad to see you're back.

    A very well thought out build! This is a good example of how to apply the Post-Covid vanlife technologies (especially the power management system) and combine it with an elegant design sense.
    Bravo, well done! ❤

    I have been impressed from day one with the work you’ve done on your van build! You should be very proud of what you’ve accomplished. Many people pay more than that for a fifth wheel and still have to buy a capable tow vehicle. The money you’ve invested in your adventure mobile is still less than the cost of a lot of new cars. I’m actually pretty envious. Bravo and Happy travels!!!

    Sometimes getting things how you'd like them is worth it in the end. Nice job. Hope you have many wonderful journeys with it.

    Yes, it seems a lot of money, but a Palace on wheels? Priceless! You did an amazing job on this van, and I hope it brings you much Pleasure. Thanks for the update!

    No matter what the cost, you have done a fantastic job building it. You can now sit back and say this is your home on wheels and be very proud of it. Merry Christmas Elisa and all the best for the new year. I'm looking forward to seeing where you end up on your road trips next year.

    I think that's VERY reasonable to what you now have. Plus a plethora of new skills! Also, as a complete aside, you have a wonderful voice. I sometimes will play one of your videos while I'm concentrating on something else just to hear you talk. So thank you for that too!

    If you bought a new van conversion already done it would have cost you 2x $$ the amount, so you did a great job on the price and built exactly what you wanted!

    That was a great overview: detailed, descriptive, interesting and candid. I thought your totals were going to end up much higher, so I was a bit surprised by the $65,000 total. Then again, you did so much of the work yourself. You are right: It is quite beautiful.
