Hi Chris and Sara, 2 questions that I believe you might be able to answer that never get addressed- 1. Are all of your build out costs somehow covered on your insurance policy in the case of a total loss? If so, how? 2. Do you have any concerns about voiding the warranty on your Sprinter with some of the system modifications made- namely the leveraging of the fuel system for the heater, and the electrical system for charging the house batteries? Thanks in advance for the info. Love the channel, keep up the great content.

😂the toilet setup has brought our marriage to a whole new level of closeness. lol We didn't add an extra DC alternator because typically we find ourselves at developed campgrounds often enough to plug into shore power before the battery bank runs out. The power lasts far longer than the water does in our van. :) Looking forward to the day when Sunny and Pepper can finally meet!

The upgrades from the original van shine through; clearly you put a lot of thought and lessons learned into the second build. Will be interested to hear more reports on just how well the electrical system performs for you, especially in running the air conditioning and in keeping the batteries topped up. I'm glad to hear you had some helpful sponsorships on this build. May you enjoy every day in this van in good health.

Beautiful Van Conversion and walkthrough video!! I love your van!! Couple questions: 1. Could you have installed taller over head cabinets & would u if you did it again? 2. With the depth of the door box and tire would you rather go back to a 177? Now that you have had both lengths, it would be great for you to do a video pros/cons video of both. I love MT, let us know how your road trip and visit to different states is going!!

Thanks so much, we love it so far! Great questions, Yes we could have installed larger overhead cabinets and we wish we would have. More than height though, I wish we had more depth to the cabinets. The back box can be removed if we want to, but even with the back box we're still a lot shorter than the longer sprinter vans. Even with the back box and spare tire mount we still fit well in one parking space.

Of course it depends on how often you plan to plug into shore power and/or other methods of power you have charging your battery bank. ☺️

Hello from Montana! Beautiful van build! Brilliant bedside controls. I've been thinking about going with Nomidic Cooling AC too on my Sportsmobile. I appreciate that they use the 14x14 opening size as opposed to the Dometic that requires you to do additional cutting of the roof. Happy Adventures!

Hey Allison!! It’s so good to “see” you out here. ☺️ you know we highly recommend traveling with dogs- they’re the best travel companions snd I’m sure your mom would LOVE to have a four legged friend visit! Hope you’re doing well and are safe from all the CA fires. ❤️

We are in the process of converting the same van just a 2021 Sprinter. Loved all you have done and gives us some great ideas. We have 2 small dogs and saw during your video how Kramer seemed like he wanted down. How does he and you both get up and down off your bed. We too have the 4x4. And do you have flare spaces on both sides or just one. Thanks for sharing a great video. We are midway through ours and hoping to get it done to be able to travel also!

Take a look at the CA Vans Lagun table mount (console table). It would allow you to use th table for your bench, between the front seats or for the passenger seat when turned around.

Great build! What are the boxes in the garage built out of? I did rewind and I still couldn’t catch it. “80/20 *something* aluminum…like building erector sets”. I couldn’t find a link. Thanks.

Hey! So sorry about that. Most people just refer to it as 80/20 which is one of the brand names. It’s also referred to extrusion aluminum. This is where we purchased ours: www.framingtech.com We used the 1.5” style. Framing tech has a much faster turnaround time than the official 80/20 place. Hope this helps! 😊

Lots of neat ideas and products. I may try to duplicate your bathroom in my 2019 170 4x4. Already have Victron, Battleborn, Espar and MaxxFan installed. Will be interested in a long term report on the AC. Thanks for sharing!

19:27 Practically pointing right at them under the bed. Some kind of bikes that can either fold up or taken apart. The dead giveaway was the brake and shifter cables.
