VAN looks great with all the changes. Looking forward to the inside 😉

Really impressed by this! I've never appreciated windows more than I do now.

Thx for sharing Shaun....so exciting for the build...great progress already! All the best.

Awesome video my man! Looking forward to the van build series!

Awesome vid and breakdown of the process and costs. Looking forward to insulation! -Max

You make it look easy - felt like a 3 minute video - nice work!

Awesome video! You are too talented! I would’ve been frustrated after opening the boxes and call Lisa for help 😊

some people do a horrible job of review and presentation.....you did great dude!! Thank you for the Video!!

Nice work! Thanks, very helpful.

Just subscribed and really enjoy the effort you go into making an informative video. As a former Airstream mechanic, I really respect what you are doing. Cheers mate. I’m thinking about a van myself as a daily driver for my family of four as well as overnight camping.

I'm so sorry, Shaun, I forgot how awesome that your channel is! I'll make sure to not miss any more videos. I watch so many van related channels that I get confused.

That was daring, cutting holes in the side of the van. Idk if I’d have the balls to do it. Coming along nicely.

Can't wait until Flairspace gets some competition. $1600, without paint (another $400 bucks), is steep for just the option of sleeping sideways. These things should cost $500 max each. It's fiberglass, you can make them yourself if you can make a post-rentable mold of each side.

Great job man!

So much information from such a young man

This is great!

Window tint: check out some high quality stuff from tap plastics (no affiliation and never used it), sounds like what you need. Auto film, privacy film, sun shade film, etc..

Nice editing

Dometic makes a series of windows like the ones on your van, the S7P, they're curved to fit a van wall. Also awning style and dual glaze acrylic.

Super impressed by the progress so far. I love the fact that the window comes with the screen and blind built in. I’m curious about the process for cutting the holes out of the side of the van specifically what the reason was for all the blue tape before you cut it?

Awesome! Please show detail on artic tern window installation. There are very few videos on KZfaq. We don't mind longer vid. Detail explanations are useful for us. Thanks

very nice job !!!but no spoilers hmm what a tease jk can't wait to see Your finished work

Nice work! I’m curious about the switch from 158 to 140? I’m looking at doing a build and can’t decide between a newer 140 or the2006158 wheel base..

Thanks for the great video! how close were you cutting it with the arctic tern window on the sliding door and the flarespace?

wow, 2 grand for flare outs... I think I will start fabricating something myself... I will go for a removable option on one side (the sliding door moves to close to the body of my van to leave any practical flaring room (maybe 1 inch or so) and since the DMV in my country does not like vehicles which are not symmetrical left to right I would need to start moving light armatures and need to do an extra inspection (both of which are a major pain in the you know what) So my plan is to cut a hole, fit a door seal style rubber trim around the edge, make a panel which is curved like the panel of metal I cut out (basically two sheets of 1/8 inch plywood glued together in the shape I need, slightly exaggerated to compensate for any spring back) and a plywood collar which goes in between the van and the curved plywood panel when I like to use the full length bed. The collar should end me up with about 8 inches extra bed length. Obviously the plywood panel and collar will be fibre-glassed and painted over for durability...

Did you have any trouble fitting the Tern Overland window on the sliding door due to the flare? I have flares and am about to install a Tern Overland window and I’m concerned with it not fitting because of the flare. Thanks!

Great work is there any insulation on the flares did you add any and did that effect the length thank you

Thx for sharing Shaun. Where to buy these awning style windows ? Do you have address link ? Many Thanks!

What type of adhesive did you use or do they come with it?

Hi Shaun, what size are those side windows? Great video!

Are there any structural issue with cutting out the side panels for the flares? It looks like you also cut out some support beams. Does that cause any flexing issues with the body or roof?

why don’t you buy an extended van ?

what is the distance between flares?

Hi Shaun, sorry I'm joining the party kind of late but do you still have the van?

Good video and great info only one thing for me your sat driving on the wrong side of the van and driving on the wrong side of the road lol

Whatever are you expecting that you might have to make a quick exit from the window?

What are the flares made of?

Emergency exit lol

I bought a Canadian version of this light, forget the brand right no, but it is curved for teh sprinter , perfect fit, here in BC just North of you, sold by company in Lethbridge Alberta

Should have gotten a Transit, more length choices (and cheaper/better value for money).

Where are you???

What’s next??

Instead of putting in windows you could have bought a Sprinter Tourer

So overpriced those flares, much cheaper and better quality in Europe, literally half the price.

Do the Arctic tern windows in the flare space screw right to the flares? or is there anything special about the install of them? need wood trim or anything?
