That’s exactly what I thinking. I want to party with this guy. When the first thing you see is tequila.

He had me at "Tequila". 😆 Great informational video and van build.

Beautiful Simon. Perfect if it had a water closet (toilet and shower) 🚽🚿🧼

Beautiful build! A lot to like in this conversion. My favorite is the decision to put the fridge at counter height. Sooo many put it below the counter which isn't the best ergonomics IMHO. I like his admission of the limitations of Ikea cabinetry. He went in with eyes wide open and did his best to counter their inherent weakness. Love the bed framing, simple and strong solution. I would have liked to see holes cut in the plywood directly under the mattress for air circulation. Mold can be a problem for full time travel. Too bad MB isn't making vans as mechanically simple as these older vans. All of these computers make overseas travel worrisome. Thanks for the tour!

Lovely personality and beautiful tiny 🏡...

As a fellow T1N Sprinter full-time vandweller I can say that this is one of my fave T1N vanbuilds! Great build!

I loved this video! This guy is so down to earth. Love it.

I have watched literally thousands of van tours and this one is Great! I have been wanting to move into a van and I think I could actually do this. Thank you so much for this video. I absolutely love this 🚙 tour.

I love the simply clean look. I think he has figured it out ! Determining first what your priorities are is the first step in creating anything...Thank you for sharing your lovely home on the road.

Simon has a great outlook!! What a great conversion...loved his mindset!! I love all the space under the bed!!!

Love this, one of my favorites for sure and we're huge fans of Harbor Freight, my husband's a mechanic. He loves their stuff.

Nice van..you did a great presentation!🍹😉

Nice Surfboard storage area, and outside rinse-off stuff/area is soooo IMPORTANT!

Love the simplicity and finish. The bed frame has inspired me how about using maxtrax for mattress support using multi purpose when ever possible is clutch for me. I have a 144 T1N tiny garage space and 2 beds

Hey , I found this video by accident! This is amazing. I also have a camper van like yours being conversion in China. Thanks for the video, it gave me a lot of inspiration！

Great Job Simon. It is cozy and comfortable.

Nice van build and presentation!!

Great when people design a van for their particular needs and passions - have fun!

Beautiful build. Just what I imagine for my Motovan build.

Fantastic video! I love his attitude!!!

nice van, I have a 2006 in the UK. starting the build today!

Wonderful build! Would love to have this for my surfing trips. 😎✌️🤙🤘😎

Great build. Nice & clean lines/ look....love it Question. How many meals can you actually cook on a 1 lb propane tank? Thanks in advance for answering.

Sweet build! Uni strut works great for structural stuff too

Awesome build!

really good info on this one

Hi from Australia love your video thank you for sharing

Beautiful Tiny Home 🏠. Excelent👍. Nice personality 😀. Keep up the good job. 👏

He’s a hoot!

Great video!

Chris, this is a Mercedes Sprinter van, not a Dodge Sprinter. He modeled it after the Dodge. The bed framing is so smart! Good old Harbor Freight! Love the Victron products. Its a Dutch company that makes them right. I did not know they also made inverters. I was going to buy Samlex, but now will get a Victron as well. Smart move! I think that the key thing about the inverter is that it shuts itself off when not in use. Otherwise, that device pulls power too, continuously. So that the bigger the inverter, the more power you draw to run it. That one function of auto shut off is a huge improvement in design! This is a great build, functional and spacious. I"d love to know the mpg on this loaded van.

Hey. You sound like a fun guy and sure have done pretty interesting things. We are looking for a sprinter van that we could convert for tiny house. We can't park a camper & bus in our subdivision and storing it somewhere else is not an option. I think your design was great ❤ You did fantastic job !

The first time I heard an Australian say aluminium it took me a minute to figure out what they were saying. I love accents and hearing how other countries say words differently than myself or their different slang. This guy gives off a great vibe. Van lifers = IKEA subscription 😅

Great video. I have the same stove, how did you connect it to gas?

Good video for me, just bought aT1n

Thanks for the tour. I like you too.

Entertaining guy :)

I want to see a tour of his other van!

Did i miss the toilet & how do you bath..

I wish tours would always start with the wheelbase at the start, didn't even get a full shot of the van.

You gave me a good laugh

You had me with at tequila Bar hahaha

Lol, I didn't realise Aussies were so short but in the UK 72 inches is definitely not a standard length bed - 80 inches is.

Could Simon maybe give us a rough estimate of the cost of this build?

@@helenrolls4426 I'm an Australian and I can tell you it's an Australian accent that has American overtones due to living in the US. That video was very clearly shot in the US - look at the clues, such as the architecture of the houses, the fact it's a left hand drive vehicle, the sliding door opens on the right and the clincher: the Oregon numberplates. And you misheard and misinterpreted the "as we say in Australia" quote.

That’s a very confused accent! Great build, clearly a lot of thought, and experience, was put into it.

Well from an Ex-Alcoholic I'd say that is a total waste of time showing what you drink, as Campervans have more and better priority challenges.

How judgemental you are; and I am speaking from the point of someone who does not drink. If that all it takes to set you off is a bottle is shown, then you have more work to do on your non alcoholic life!! Be well & treat others with kindness.

I didn't see him humping anything(oh no, did you cringe?) and becoming gross in his description of the van. I've seen worse in tic tock videos, so don't watch those either.
