My van is old, scruffy and full of reused and upcycled parts, that's why there isn't another Mercedes Sprinter based camper like it in the world.

Never mind comments about bad music or those who question your methods. I think this build is looking great so far. The only snarky thing I could think to say was there's so much stop-motion video that I half expected to hear Peter Gabriel's voice at times. Seriously, though, that's a neat feature that I don't see in any other YT channels but yours. Greetings from Arizona, USA.

I love the stop animation - it gives the impression that the van does all the work for you. 😅

There's a lot of content similar to this but yours has got to be in the top 1%. The story telling, pacing, stop motion aspects, the myriad of skills on display and the philosophy of upcycling / reuse all combine to make a truly amazing series that nobody else can emulate. Thank you for your hard work! These video strike a perfect balance of relaxing, entertaining informative and inspiring.

Put a lotta heavy black adhesive (they call it "heavy foam" despite being nothing like foam in Germany) pieces all over my Sprintler-panels when re-building the insides, and it made the thing as quiet as a luxury car. Wood sub-floor laid on thin Armaflex stripes, no through bolts, and wood-frames carrying dampened dibond panels for sides and ceiling were mounted with rubber-metal blocks. That way no body-sounds were put through to the inside, and rattling cutlery was the only annoying sound that was disturbing the 2.9 litre turbo-diesel experience when under way.🦻👂😄 Had to sell it recently however due to raging irrational idiots spreading diesel-phobia in my nook of the woods.
