The garage set-up is great with the extra water and air lines but I think they are missing some key things, like a shower and a toilet.... But guess they can use the garage outlet as a shower port

I was lucky enough to meet her in person a few years back, she's super sweet and humble and lightning fast! Her van offs almost as cool as she is.

Do more garage /van design episodes ! Love them, and need inspiration for when de have our space..

I use do live in a camper trailer in my younger days, loved it. Best time of my life.

I would think it has to do with getting around to different trails. I have a toy hauler, but can't hop in and take out for a a day or two to find a trail I never been to. It's way to difficult and would rather have the van for these kind of trips.

Best van ever, and Jill is majorly chilled as well. Like it.

Jill, stumbled across your van video. Your dad would be so proud of your accomplishments (and he would have loved the van) My name is Dave Graham, Peter and I played a lot of golf and pool together his last couple years. I spoke at his funeral and told the story about him always leaving his phone on “In case Jillybean calls” I think of him often, I now work at one of the golf courses we used to play, Mt Si. He would be jealous as I now play for free! Hope all is well, stay safe!

That's a huge ass bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I could finish it in 1 post ride.

Great feature. Yes, more van check episodes please. Great for ideas and inspiration.

van is way to go, in mine: solar, AC, kitchenette, toilet/shower, table, bed, and of course room for two bike, best think what any outdoorsman can have, nice vid!

See you at your SeaOtter exhibitiion. I hope the van is there too. I can't believe it's so clean.

thats the best van Ive seen so far!

I had the chance to see their previous van and it was awesome. I can only imagine what this one looks like in real life. #fancy

Good setup! You can get a cover that goes across the top of the rear doors!

The question is... who the hell gives this a thumbs down?

The garage is art. Engineering level up.

Dream van if you have the money. I have a VW caddy which works well to carry a couple of bikes easily without too much fuss.

At the back of the van I would have a cover that goes over the two open doors to give you shelter from the rain. It worked on my surf bus, especially in Uk. COOL van, do they export to the UK? mmmm big loan coming up?

Where does the electrical run off of. Do you just run the diesel when you need extra juice? I see there are inverters so I'm guessing that or some deep cycle batteries are hidden somewhere. Didn't see room for a generator.

His bed that folds into a futon is really sweet and really opens up the space, but with two people I don't think you can beat a big bed like this one. I need space to move around when I sleep, and if its warm I can't really be touching my partner or I overheat. Anything smaller then a queen would be too small for me with a partner personally, for short trips and vacations smaller would probably work. Good sleep is important especially if your trying to be competitive. Not sure if this is the regular or mid length sprinter, the long version is a little impractical since you can't really park it in any normal spots.

Can you guys do a bike check please.

Great van, obviously a lot of work went into that. I have to ask myself though why do all mountain bikers seem to want to convert a sprinter van versus just getting an RV? I get that one is easier to drive and better on gas mileage but it seems like a monumental amount of work and expense. I'm sure there's a reason, I just don't know what it is.

@Mounta1nKing

Easier parking at events and trailheads. Can manage many dirt roads pretty well. Gas mileage. Easier to stealth camp in van. Many neighborhoods have restrictions on RV. It can be your daily driver. It's #vanlife, not #rvlife.

Regular RVs can't really hold all the bikes etc inside unless you get a toy hauler RV. But then they are big/expensive/and use allot more fuel like MouatainKing said.

How are you even writing this comment 😂

1.

No issues with assembly for me kzread.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".

Cool van but exactly how many times did she say "like"? Like 100?

do a game of e bike with sam pilgrim and black samson and chris smith

She said "like" 792 times.

Ok, most of all because they got rapped by digital fake news from the brexetiers Millionär mafia. Anyway, you get what you deserve.
