This one checks all the boxes for me. Great details! My van is pretty much done but you have some extras that are very appealing. Nice work!
That shower is an amazing idea. Great build
Very nice, love the quality of the cabinets, floor and the way you've done the shower tray and curtain! Mine is similar in a lot of ways, but feel you've gone next level!
Great to see that you made your own flares. I am surprised more people don’t do this considering the price of the only ones available.

Yeah seriously would love to see how you made these flares! I’ve been trying to figure out how for a while..
Loved how you built around the garage needs and I was not expecting the shower solution, wow. In FL we would have to add A/C but that's it. Great Van!
I love everything about this so much. The contrasting bright colors inside the van are so cool. Great job.
This is the best van I have ever seen. You have everything in a small package. Excellent job
I really like how you incorporated the third bed. Simple, not intrusive at all, yet works perfectly.
Best use of space I’ve seen, super sweet to see how you guys think about the dogs safety and comfort.
Love the slim shelf below the ceiling cabinets. Actually did this in my garage and in my work van bit never thought to utilise it in my self build camper. Thanks guys 😁
You've created the Rolls-Royce bus camper, as we call this in the Netherlands. Love your fix on details for use. Great build!
Came to this video because of the cabinets looking like an idea I have for my current conversion and this turn out to be one of the best conversions I saw so far ... after 15+ years of outdoor sports/camper lifestyle Amazing job. Keep it up. Looking forward to your next videos. Cheers, Oliver
I'm usually not a fan of the orange/yellow color schemes, but you guys did a great job tying that together. Very well thought out and I love how your bikes came first!
Sick! We built our around the bikes too. Love your pup too.
Hands down.. this is THE best van I’ve seen online wow man.. Nice work!!!
WOW! Beautiful job on the Van! Thanks for sharing.
Incredible... all time favorite build. Great job!
Love the yellow, love the glossy cupboards.
Seen a few of these van conversions now but this is the best one. Every detail is thought of. Down to simmer light above bed, fan, rear window. Shower and toilet inside. Would be happy to live in this for long periods at Time.
Nice! Some really smart decisions went into this build. Great work!
Glad you guys got into the van build business because this is genius!
So many clever ideas packaged into this build, well done
Ok this is the best build I've seen.
Really well thought out design 🤓 Very calm and easy to watch video too. Great Build 😎
A lot of vans do not have a lot of thought put into them, not this one. Superb job 👍🏻
one of the best van builds i've seen. nice work.
Great looking van with lots of thoughtful features!
Just found your channel! Awesome build. Anxious to see the Transit. Keep up the great work!

Man I love these frickin things! AWESOME BUILD!
Well-designed for your use! A lovely space for your off-road fun!
I really like that second bed idea.
Goodluck on your tours!
This is so well thought out
Well thought out and neatly finished. Time for the dogs toe hair to be trimmed tho 😁👍🏻
OMG, I love that touch light......Details please......? So many great ideas, so expertly orchestrated...!
Really nice clean professional build!
congrats on the build, this is really well done, quality design and construction...
Nice thought out build. Kudos for the shower! I didn't see where the water comes from though. Also, you probably found the shortest Sprinter available.
You are a real craftsman. I work for a custom cabinet shop in Cincinnati. "Riverside architectural millwork" and your work is top notch.

I usually don't give thumbs up to Sprinter camper van conversions for may be i'm biased but, when i do, it's definetely well deserved. Btw, saw 150k Sprinters made by Big Dogs which are less than one fifth functional than this. Unfortunately i cannot give two thumbs up...
Really impressive
this is the perfect build!
Great van!
I like it so much!!!
Muito legal a maneira que guardaram a bicicleta e as cortinas
kick ass camper van!
I am jealous, so jealous!
Very cool!
So sweet!
great job!!!!
nicely done
Great van. Love the shower - have been thinking about some thinking that for my van.
this thing is sickkk
My dream van 😊
Awsome! Really Awsome.
Look nice and simple
Wow thats smart. 🙌🏻
You’re design layouts are some of the best I have yet to see. Well done! Do you have links for your cabinet door lifts, sliders, and handles? Thank You 😊

The upper cabinet door lifts are from Ikea and the latches are marine push button latches. The lower cabinets use marine slam latches.
J'aime les gens qui ont une attention particulière pour les animaux je vous souhaite bonne route super projet❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🇫🇷
All I can say is WOW!!!. Beautifully done, well thought out, thank you for sharing... I have to ask, do you do school buses too. (Skoolies)?

Wow, really good build, with great thought out features. I like how your dog can get to the bed with the bench. Do the bed bump outs catch wind?
@copilotvans4762

There is no noticeable drag or wind noise from the bed bump outs.
How did you attach the twist clips on the rear door? Same question for the flip up table on the rear door. Lots of good stuff here!
Great Van!! I'm single & going to retire from teaching in 2 years & going to live full time in my van after the buildout. This design is perfect. I own a new Ford Transit Tall. Have you ever built out a new Ford Transit?

'Hey it's Awesome [Austin]" Damn I want to be able to put my bici in a van that isn't a sprinter 😅
Definitely one of the best built! everything in a 144" Wheel base! Amazing Job! Quick question, what is the size of the bike rack? can you store an XL bike in it for example?

Can you please make a video on more details of your shower... I.e how did you build it, how much water does it use, is it re-circulating etc?

I love this layout and should the gods ever drop on my lap decent amount of cash, I want this layout. Incidentally, do you use a seat belt harness on the dog when he rides up front like that?
Awesome van! Where do you connect the shower head?
dang. impressive... what's the black box out back for?
Intéressant
Lovely van! What bike mount is that?
Do you have enough solar and battery for your needs? Any changes recommended on sizing a system?
Fantastic Van Guys...... What size is that Van, is it an L1 or L2 version?
killer van. the second bed is a great idea. was wondering what the shower pan is made from? or how you built it? thanks heaps for sharing

The shower pan is a 24”x24” washing machine drain pan. The sub floor was raised 2” to meet the height of the shower pan.
Nice van. Question for you; What is the size of your bike tray for 2 bikes? TIA
Awesome van! Could you give us a link for the touch lights?

How was that shower pan made? Does anyone have an idea? It looks like some kind of plastic but I can't see how it was constructed. I love how how shallow and sleek it is for a shower in the middle of the floor that is so flush like that.
