Seth, it's really impressive to see how fully committed you are to helping Alexander get started by DOING THINGS RIGHT. You are really a great friend and mentor to him, and the investment you're making in him is really incredible. You're an inspiration not only to Alex, but to everyone you're sharing the journey with. I salute you, sir.

Good job!! I really like the swivel seats. For future build. I would plan my electric out using conduit for wiring. I would put the framing boards in the walls and the ceiling. Then skip buying sound deadening patches and spray foam insulation the inside walls and roof. Here's a secret most people don't know. You can measure the van out for spray foam and buy it. Usually locally. There ready to go containers. Pretty cheap. You tell them the square ft. Your covering and they tell you how much you need. I was building a hunting blind about 5 years ago cost $80 bucks to spray foam insulate. Back then and it was more square footage then this van. After you spray foam put your interior walls and ceiling on. Gives you better insulation,no mild,take care of sound deadening. Just a thought.

I would totally live in the van if I had someone could do this for me

I've been watching build outs to get myself ready to build a rig for my girlfriend and I. This video gave me tons of things to consider that I'd never thought of and I'm crazy appreciative. Also, as a former biker who's never seen your channel before: instant subscriber. (I miss my Diamondback.) Thanks for pointing out everything you did wrong and every bump along the first part of this build out. That's a huge help to someone who's planning. It shows how humble you are in a small way, but it makes a huge difference. PS: I've known Johnny for ages (since '08-ish) and met him on a forum that no longer exists, and have found him in the wildest spots I'd never imagine. (Last time, it was on Reddit.) His woodworking is out of this f*cking world and is mesmerizing, especially because he's as OCD in his woodworking as I am in life. (I hang my head in shame, but in his craft that's an amazing thing to see, something most others don't consider to the level he does.) To see him help do a build out is probably the most satisfying thing I've found since my girlfriend and I decided we were going to embark on this extraordinarily scary but exciting journey.

this is awesome! cant wait for more!

Good friends for helping him. What's the backstory for this -- is there a video? Why is he moving into a van? You've mentioned KZread career, so does it mean he can't afford an apartment or is it just because he wants to be mobile? Would it be better to buy a camper than building one from scratch? Maybe buying a used motor home?

They mention Alex spilling alot, and some "what if"scenarios spills. You cant spill more in a van then you do on the trail Alex 😂

Seth, fantastic video. Hands down the best van build video I've come across. I personally would love to see more DIY build videos on your channel as it's clearly something you've a knack for.

Thanks so much for a logical and concise video. And thanks most of all for giving reason for choosing a conversion van.
