Besides all the video stuff (which was great, by the way), the fact that you'd put in this much time and effort to help a friend realize his dream is pretty awesome man. Well done to the whole team and I can't wait to see this thing once it's all done!

That was a ton of work but it turned out soooooooo good. Always fun hanging with y’all, can’t wait to do it again!

the battery compartment looks like a 3000 dollar pc lol

dude this is the best conversion ive ever seen

Whoa! Dudes, this is already on its way to being way cooler than my van! I have the same Promaster in silver. You guys are so lucky to have buds with wood working skills. I’m already jealous! Keep up the great work!

As a climber and an aspiring van dweller, this video was very inspiring!

i watched this whole thing thinking it was for Alex Honnold lmao

*slaps roof of van* “This bad boy can fit a youtuber”

It's coming together!

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.

3:13 sounds like someone having fun lol. 😂😂

Holy cow, you guys are killing it with the progress! Love the entire video - I'm impressed. That workstation and cabinet are freakin' rad. Cannot wait to see more. (And yeah, sorry for jumping on the bandwagon with the fiber glass insulation - you made the right call!).

Seth’s van hacks! 👍👍

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

Love to binge watch your videos. Keep up the hard work and dedication your videos clearly show 👌🏽👍🏻

definitely suggest a roof vent if there isnt one already, also a cool idea that i have on my camper van is a large eye hook on the outside of the van for a hammock I just park neer a tree and rig on end up to the van and the other to the tree, the ultimate hang out spot for in the hot evening

This has been a massive undertaking thus far, but I'm really happy with what we have come up with. MASSIVE thanks to both Seth and Johnny as without them I'd be lost in this build! 🤘🔨 So what do you guys think we should add to the van next?

All I can think of is Chris Farley, "when you're living in a van down by the river". Looking great and congrats Alexander!

Please make more vidoes like this. Its nice to chill and watch such building videos or so. :)

The Vansion! Living the life of luxury!

As a window tinter/stereo shop owner, custom woodworking nut, and overall mtb geek I just have to say this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Great friends doin' cool $hit for each other. Keep it up, folks: you are KILLIN" IT!!! Oh, crap; might be dumb, but did you guys VENT the battery enclosure? I'm sure I prob'ly missed that it's a completely sealed stable-medium gel-type battery, but I'm actually in the middle of helping a good friend myself! Great job, Seth; I moved up here to NC as a Florida native appx 17~1/2 years ago for one reason: TRAILS!!! I'm sure you can imagine my, umm, invocations and exhalations the first time I rode Kitsuma, for instance; sheer delight marries abject terror, lol!!! Keep up the great work my friend,,,

This is a phenomenal video, thank you for it. The narration is so clear and easy to follow, and isn't padded with useless filler words and sentences. God, KZfaq needs more stuff like this, keep it up.

I’ve watched a lot of van conversion videos but this one, for some reason, stands out as one of the best. Something about the tempo of the video and the narrators voice. Also the video is very informative with just the right amount of details. Bravo!

This build is going to be so sick! It's cool to see that you're friends with Crafted Workshop. I'm a subscriber over there as well.

This thing is sik! Excited to see the final product.

That's what I call a B I G W I N

how many times did he say this was a win omg

i ABSOLUTELY LOVED this video

Those sound dampening mats, especially the felt version, are also great for silencing gaming PCs.

Nice Seth. You are a really good pal to Alex. Everyone should have such a competent and generous friend... I'm a big fan of yours. Alex seems like a really good guy too. Cheers

This design is the best I have seen that doesn't start with a confusing design. Very nice step by step build vid.

Sram backward is MARS Sram= alien tech

Can't wait to see another episode of the ALEX-VAN-DER build...

HOLY CRAP. Best comprehensive overview of a van conversion. Im moving my "studio" into a van eventually, complete goals and freedom. If i had all the money in the world i think this is how i would want to live. Really awesome man, thanks for sharing.

You are a good friend. Bless you.

What to build next? A bed? Salsa bar?

it just seems like soooo much work for how much can go wrong in a split second. however seriously amazing itd be a dream to do this .. i truly hope this very video pays off that project.

Love the tool box. Totally geeking out on the neon lights in the battery box.

@ 5:18 absolutely brilliant way to get the cut outs for the wheel wells. I spent hours measuring the dimensions and re trimming excess until I got it right.

This is awesome. I am very excite.

As being a carpenter this cracked me up and was so awesome 😂

I know nothing of mountain biking, but I like watching people build things. not to worry, just like there are biking channels like this for your community, there are channels around that document people building things for people who like that. good project and good video, have fun biking!

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

You have to paint the van with his logo and designs

RGB battery? SethTechTips

I really enjoy these videos. You had first gotten me back into cycling , now you're getting me into DIY projects.

When you ran the behind the wall (DC) Power runs, Be very careful not to pinch the wires against the medal van ribs. This could short out and start fires, Unless you installed ground fault fuses or breakers no worries. Van looks great love it!

Can’t wait to do my own van build in the next couple years!

I never wanted to live IN A VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!!! But looking at this I might reconsider. Lol. Please tell me you get the reference. Lol

Nice wiring! I especially liked the see through battery top and lighting!

I SO enjoyed watching this video! Not only was i fascinated by the work you guys did (good skills by the way), but the way it was filmed, edited and narrated was extra high quality - thanks!

Duuude! I just saw your interview with Noah Kagan. It´s really awesome to hear you talking about your youtube carrer, the path it´s not always fun and it´s a ton of work, but the reward makes it have sense and purpose, and i´m not talking sponsorship or stuff like that, it´s about people and relationships. Congratulations Seth! Keep the amazing work up!!

More van content!!

Absolutely OUTSTANDING! Almost brought a tear to my eye.

I don’t bike at all, or even know the first thing about it. But you genuinely make some of the best quality videos I’ve ever seen and I very much enjoy them!

You guys need to check out these things called rivnuts they are the greatest things ever for adding machine threads into sheet metal especially thin sheet metal they are commonly used on conversions

That idea to use a tool cabinet was brilliant! I know it’s not mountain biking, but most of my other channel viewings are van life... so bonus!

Holy moly, I love this! I wish I had the skills and could afford to do a minivan version! It really is beautiful.

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.

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 😂

I thought u meant the climber Alex lmao I was like wat

I came to your channel cause I was getting back into biking. I'm a part time nomad, so love the van life stuff.

Great vid! Can't wait to see it getting finished.

*Nice project. He created more value with this van.* He could try to sell it for profit and build the next version. That is how innovative businesses can start.

Love the vid

This is so golden to see, lov it.

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.

No one: Seth: BIG WIN

I see Seth’s car audio skills coming through with that wiring.

So this is the most solid craftsmanship I've ever seen in a conversion video. I love what you guys have done. Might have another career in creating camper vans! I'm a decor chic so I'm eager to s what you do with the design.

This video was so cool and so well done. The van itself looks sick!

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 KZfaq 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?

This is the earliest I've been here

I don't know about like half the stuff they're doing but there is just something fun about watching people build/convert something.

This was very interesting, and well documented! Thanks for a very useful video that was fun to watch. I learned a lot. At some point, I want to do this all by myself. Thank you!!! I wanted to mention... instead of foam insulation spray, please consider black sheep wool insulation. No moisture, no mold, eco safe, no smell. Higher cost but no toxic vapors.

This makes me jealous of people that live in their van

"No compromises workstation" *shows him with a mac*

Dude, I'm not much into bikes, but I love DIY, camper conversions and tiny house building. And I LOVE the way you make your videos!!! Consider doing more like this. Please! ;)

So i've been working (as an apprentice) in a van modifying and repairing workshop, we do jobs like this everyday non stop and cant deal with all the work. So what i have to say is that you guys made an awesome job, there could be some minor changes but nothing special. Good Job! ps:from Portugal

That guy looks like Jesus from the walking dead New frontier

U said no compromises workstation there is one huge compromise their using a mac

More van builds, this thing is going to be epic!

The hammering on the beat at 9:10 is satisfying

I bet you could build the RADDEST salsa bar in the world if you wanted to🌶

A lovely Fiat!

That is quite possibly the most beautiful van I have seen in these conversion videos. You guys didn't have to do a lot of restoration since it's fairly new. It would be interesting to make a van like this as a traveling office for a small business

Keep it up with the filming! I love all of your projects beside your videos are still super indepth

Lol this Van is a Fiat Ducato / Citroën Jumper / Peugeot Boxer / Dodge Ram Promaster

This video should’ve name as DIY your luxury motor home

all your videos are awesome, keep 'em coming!

Awesome!!! More Van!

I have a really bad headache after biking far

Roam Sweet Home

One of the better recorded and explained van builds on YT. I actually want to go buy a Promaster now.

That tool chest is brilliant! So is the rest of the project. But that really strikes me as a must have as I work on mine!

Damn, I wish I could do this?

Says no compromise uses Mac lmao

Such a great edit, you really know how to make an informational video entertaining

Seth this is great content it might be off topic for some but this is the real life of a dedicated mountain biker , to help out a friend get his mountain bike home kitted out and on the road just shows what sort of people you are . Life" IS "one big journey so why not peddle most of it and fly the rest. MTB is for the living !
