I can't understand why there are people reacting negatively to this video, the van is very well made!

That axe. LOL. In case the serial killer doesn't bring his own, you left one outside.

WOW, 5yrs later I find your channel, amazing van and ideology.

this was honestly one of the best van builds I've ever seen. so inspiring.

He should put more stuff on the outside, there isn't enough stuff out there.

Best build I've ever seen on a Westy.

Dude this is the sweetest Westy I have ever seen. Genius using carpet for headliner so you can use velcro, and LED lighting is great, great storage solutions. Love all the extras, and customization. Especially the world map and compass. “Not all who wander are lost”

The money that was dropped on this unit...! Really smartly done and stylish to boot.

"I wanted to do it as cheaply as possible" $200,000 later ...

This has to be one of the nicest and cleanest looking Westfalia Vanagon’s I’ve ever seen. I’m super impressed that Literally almost every single major component to this Vanagon has been replaced and or modified. I love how you swopped out the original Westfalia refrigerator and added a brand new electric fridge all the while keeping it in it’s original compartment. Most people take the old fridges out and use the the space for storage and then mount a new Mobil refrigerator like a Dometic. I much prefer what you did. All of the mods on this Westfalia are so tastefully done. The reupholstered interior looks fantastic and it definitely makes everything look so comfortable. The only thing I wish you spoke on is the pop top that you replaced with an extended hardtop roof. Do you still have the fold out ceiling bed that the pop tops are known for? You definitely put a lot of time and money into this Vanagon and it shows with all of the beautiful modifications. I would absolutely love to own a vehicle like this! Thank you so much for sharing! Cheers!

A hundred years ago or so guys like this would go on adventures to fund themselves, now guys like this fund themselves to go on adventures. As an aging guy it's really cool that these vehicles are...

OMG you drive passt a hotdog stand twice!!!! I could not do that.... LOL. Great video. Thanks. I wish I had the strenght to do what you do.... You should be so proud and happy

Oh wow, of all the Van life.....this has got to be the "geekiest" of all of them and almost everything was done with purpose and style of such a car lovers and they are done very nicely.

...the last statement, best statement!

What a fantastic build!! He seriously thought through it all. My wife and I (@joeandmadee) lived in an '82 Westfalia after we got married, built out a Sprinter van, and now we're back to an '85 Westfalia! :) you just can't beat em! Love his build, very inspiring build.

I've seen hundreds of vanlife tiny homes, but nothing compares and it's a Westfalia! You have quite the mind and eye for detail and design. Enjoy every moment.

Safe travels brother! Loved this build and your story.

I'm so in love with the color..wow!

Awesome Van build !! Thank you

So inspirational! Love your work Shane. Keep up the adventure.

One of the nicest rebuilds I've seen! Enjoy

This is a great interview and coverage of the van's exterior and interior. I really enjoyed seeing all the exceptional mods and upgrades you have done to the van. Very well thought out. Awesome job! Hope to see you around SD and check out those mods in person.

One of the best camper build i've seen so far!! thanks for sharing!

This video, his words, are SO right on. Love it.

Right on man!! Excellent philosophy

Great job Shane, its clear you've put a lot of love into that van. Love the peace flags!

Yes, this is my favorite van build I've seen so far.

Love this system.

More important than all of your van modifications, good as they are, is what this vehicle allows you to do. I hope all your adventures in it are memorable. My most valuable possession, apart from my van , are all the photos I've taken of the times and places I've been in it. I believe it's called honouring life.

First class build in quality, design, and functionality.

what a beautiful​ conversion

Beautiful build. Love the shape and color of yout clasic RV

Really cool rebuilt van! You feel welcomed at once!

You've truly built the Swiss Army knife of vans and this video is extremely beautiful to watch!

Your Van is stunning, I love the small customisations you’ve done which make it very unique and fit for purpose. Thanks for sharing.

Possibly one of the best conversions ive seen for these vans. Love it.

Very nice thx for sharing

Great looking van. We just did our first long-term overland trip. Drove to Panama and back over the last 20 months. Maybe we will see you in South America in a couple years.

Loved your video and your conclusion that memorable experiences are more important than buying trinkets! Your Westy van is the business - so organised!

This van is so beautiful.

Jesus, that interior is so cool, like the brown!

This is the most awesome Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia I have ever seen. I had a blue1981 westfalia aircooled. I bought it in 1997 for 7 grand. It had tons of problems. I since rebuilt the engine and repainted it and sold it for 12grand in 2016

So cool, great job and thanks for sharing

Amazing amount of detail, together with great ideas - thank you!

His Van is amazing. I want it :D

This is by far the coolest Westfalia I have ever seen!!! Almost too nice to be used 👌

legit this is pretty cool!!

So great and inspiring. I love all the extras.

Is THE BEST VW ORGANIZED i HAVE EVER SEEN & READY FOR FUN ! G8 job!!

The Westfalias were very well thought through campers anyway, but your van is an exceptional example! What a beauty! Well done! 👍🏼😉

super car, very thoughtful and practical ... Greetings from Germany

So badass! Just got my westy and transitioning into van life. Best decision of my life!

Hands down the best Westfal build I have ever seen. Bravo! I really like this guys philosophy too.

Why is it not a million views. This deserve a million view man

12 inch sub? by far the best item!

Best van ever

Loved watching this well done. cheers. stay safe

Awesome and now I want one! Subaru mod was great. You have done everything I would have. Very impressed also inspired!

Volkswagens love to breakdown in your driveway. My Eurovan did that 3 times. Never broke down on the road though.

Fab Westie the best I have seen on you tube.

this van look amazing!

Great attitude. And what a great van

The axe comes in handy while you're sleeping, when somebody wants to chop their way into the van to get to you!?! I had a 1971 Westfalia and that is the same exact thing that impressed me the German engineering - everything opened like a Swiss Army knife.

My Westy was totaled back in 1980 wish I would have replaced then! Looking for a clean one now to build out and spend my last years traveling.

That thing is a BEAST!

Super excellent presentation. Thank you.

he is living my dream, why i could not reach it jet? i have no base to get it started, no house, no really valuable stuff to sell and i have hardly enough monney to buy food supplys. but one day, i am sure, i will acomplish my dream of van life and see the world outside of the box i am currently trapped in.i failed so manny times, but you need to fail to sucsess

Nice setup .I have to install my speedhut gauges soon as the stock gauges are inaccurate with the Subaru 3.3L and reverse drive Subarugears WRX 5 speed

Great video! You paid great attention to detail to everything that functions for you

I love the color and shape of this van

“Everything has got to be small... except my goofy subwoofer.”

#983 Love your Westfalia!

20:41 this really gave me a boost of courage and excitement to live my life the way i dreamed about it... thanks for this amazing video ... am in love with the mini van...

Unbelievably cool van

random guitar chord every minute and a half l ol

Nice review and intro if you don't know much about T25 and Westfailures. Be nice to see you using it. We've had our T25/T3 for over a decade now but we couldn't stand being with all those other van owners in one place! Too many people. Everybody's different

Great video Shane! Very well thought out vehicle.

Seriously... I've ever seen like this van... Really really awesome

I'm your 1000th subscriber :) nice video

Man whoever did your build did and INCREDIBLE job. WOW! Any info as to who and where it was done? I would love to live this life in another 5 years. BEAUTIFUL Westy.

i have no words for your westy! stunning.... regards from germany!

I like the layout. Will be putting a few of those ideas into my 81.

Hey... Nice one. The color is awesome.. Do you know the color-Code? Would be nice!
