Great video! Thanks for sharing the great updates! The gutter guard on the fridge shelves is awesome!

Jaz mate, what a set up. Watched tons of your stuff about a year ago, which made me buy a massive van and and convert it this summer. Legend. Keep it up bud.

That's awesome mate glad you did that!

In regard to your bed being difficult to slide open and closed you may try mounting it on the end with heavy duty drawer slides.

Wow so comprehensive and useful - thank you as there is lots here to consider for any future van build!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy finally!! Keep up the good work Jaz. Greaaat van!

After a van to do a fit out of my own and it’s great to get tips from other people’s experiences of their build of what they did and were happy with and what they did and had to refix . We are all human and nobody is perfect. Fantastic video with great advice given. Much appreciated..Travel safe mate..👍🍻

Thanks a lot, it's a never ending project haha 👍🏼

Awesome van and upgrades 😁

The door flaps are very vaginal-esque. Very earthy, like entering/exiting the womb. Love your earth solar van. You guys are extremely clever.

Good van tour. Your tools drawer looks neater than your other drawers. Lol

G'day Jaz. Where you at now? Can I ask how much the replacement engine set you back? Love the gutter guard hack!

Cheers mate, South Australia now. The engine itself was AUD $8000. there was 30 hours of labour which amounted to AUD$3600. and there was a bunch of other things they replaced too whilst doing the engine rebuild. All up it was around AUD$16000

Hi mate, Can you send blueprint or some floor plan if you have it? would be great help in my build Thanks

👍😁

Ive been telling van builders for years to stay away from sprinters there absolute garbage im a professional mechanic and use to maintain a fleet of sprinters most blew there engines at 100k only a few made it to 200k. I always recommend going ram promaster ford transit or Toyota for my European friends. Im currently building a ram promaster 170 extended length for my future travels hopefully you wont need another engine in a 100k good luck

The service intervals on the sprinters I think are 30,000kms which is crazy long. I have decided to replace my oil and oil filter and 10,000kms just for piece of mind, normally I think people do 15,000kms for diesels. Honestly mate, in 5 years ICE Internal combustion engines will begin to be heavily phased out, and by 2030 it will be almost a joke to own a ICE vehicle because of how inefficient they are and costly, I would run an electric powertrain today if I could but the tech isn't wide spread enough and cheap enough, but that is rapidly decreasing. Doing the best with what I have available today, but all ICE engines are a joke compared to electric.

@@JaznLori I agree Jaz. Petrol or diesel, I've always religiously changed oil and filter every 10,000 kms, with an added straight oil change (only), in between (so every 5,000 kms) Using this philosophy, I've managed to help keep my partners Kia Rio ticking over merrily at 320,000 and counting without burning a drop of oil. My hope is that our recently purchased (May of this year) Sprinter will behave itself as well, once we can finally hit the roads (currently about half way through our build) Which brings me to say, thanks so much for all your valuable content! There are not too many van build days that go by where I don't find myself referring to at least one of your videos. Safe travels, Nigel.
