You guys keep raising the bar. This is more fresh and entertaining content. Thank you.

Love to see the 144 build. You guys do quality work and great videos.

[largedoglover]

I hope you two make tons of money. I love your builds.. My budget is way too small for your designs but I really admire your work!

[brownwowyn]

Can't wait to see the finished 144" build! Just about to start mine here in Aus

[peatlow]

thank you for this video. I’m deciding if the high roof will make up for the 144’ wheelbase.

[sherw]

Looking forward to seeing how you build out the 144 :)

I like these videos. I have been looking into getting a van and having it built. Can't find builder's in the New England area. Guess I would have to look further.
Hard for me to remember the little difference in measurements between the Sprinters and other vans.
I think you do mention what you can put in all the different size Van's and what you can't because of smaller size.
Very good comparison videos you guys do.

I'd be really interested in seeing what your build out of a ProMaster or Transit would look like. I think my first van will be one of those (due to lower cost and to get experience.) Charlotte and I love your designs. Our 170 Ext is probably 3 years out -- I am too late to reserve a spot for Alex to build out my Sprinter for Summer 2022? 😃

Hi Sara & Alex. Happy valentines
Can you guys build my van like yours
A 2020 sprinter 170” 4+4 and how much
It will be? (Cost)? Please let me know thanks

[davidramossalsologoporexse]

I need to see the video on the 170 and the 170 extended

[tdrager]

What is the MPG of the 170 Ext? Why doesn't anyone discuss this? I think van lifers care about protecting our environment while saving money.

[davidbeachum]

Why are so many videos like this? Almost 4 whole minutes of a 4:25 video of just the hosts talking and very precious little of the van. Reminds me of the Jeff Goldblum line in Jurassic Park: “Now eventually you do plan to have dinosaurs on your dinosaur tour, right?”

Hello my name is Darlene im a single mother of two children and one grandson. My son who is the youngest of the two will soon be off to college in two years and my daughter who is grown with a son is living on her own. Which mean I will be able to do want ever, when ever, I want to in two years. Im definitely going to convert a van iinto a tiny moble home. I have and continue to study van life you tub channels for about 8 months or more but your channel is my fav. I've been watching your channel for a while, im very much interested in converting a van myself yet I have no knowledge about how to build out a van other than watching videos on YT. I dont even know how to use power tools. But I know I can become very skilled if I had some hands on experience. Which leads be to my point ....I have a giant favor to ask of you both!! I was wondering if this summer I can come out and help you guys build out some vans and also get some great experience on how to use power tools. I dont have much money, we but it would mean the world to me. I I catch on to things very quickly, and I follow directions to the T. Thank you ... and congratulations on pregnancy

[jakesimmons]

what would be the best van set up for someone who is tall like me, I am 6'8. I know that Mercedes spriters have high roofs. Do yall both know of any other vans that could accommodate someone who is super tall?

[Joyoy]

Hi guys is the 144 the equivalent to a mid wheel Base or short wheel Base in the uk? Regards

[matildamatildaaa]

Do you have a van tour of sprinter 144 ?

[kne]

Are there other vans with about the same buildable space to consider?

[johnsparkman]

Hi Sara & Alex, I've been a little confused about the software for interp of the build. Will email. Here are two 144 "showers" I've found you may be able to use.. The Shower Curb and Curtain in 144
And better
144 w Japanese Soaker tub.

hey, you have the awesome product, I suggest you couple sell &rent the Van or assembly produce service not Guide book. Financing, hiring labor, and outsourcing prefab accessory in China, register trademark run it as an enterprise.

[svongsa]

I hear sprinter vans rust along the side trim.
