This dude needs his own channel...he operates on a whole other level.

first I want to say that this guy is a genius. second, I'm using about 90% of his build for my own.

[duvessa]

“I found that my local McDonald’s was not amused when i went in with my Thetford Cassette.” This statement had me in tears😂 I can so vividly picture everyone’s dismay.

[mathewbradbury]

This builder deserves utmost respect! His process is pure precision and creativity!

[destinal_in_reality]

I'd love to see an in-depth video with him, this guy has so much we could learn for van building and van life.

[ramaze]

People like this wise gentleman should not be taken lightly. Yes I would like a video on his cabinet building or anything he is willing to share please.. 🙏🏽

[dib]

We've just met an official campervan nerd. Awesomeness!

[monkeynumbernine]

I've watched hundreds of van build videos...this is the best one for many reasons... this guy is genius.

[flywrite]

He must be a mechanical engineer. The flooring seems like it's flexible enough that it will last much longer than other floor designs which over time can't keep up with the stress of a constantly moving vehicle. This man is an absolute genius.

[HankHill]

This guy has the bd a retired engineer. He’s has the classic engineer mindset and eccentricities!

[gezor]

the double beds turning into a sofa is such a great solution - it seems so obvious and that's what makes it brilliant.

[bmauzertx]

Guy definitely needs his own channel, I could would watch every single video he posted. That conversion is incredible!

[xlamontx]

Make any video Lex is willing to share. His knowledge is pure gold. Thank you both.

[Ericidryfly]

Now this guy did a great job on his van build. I would quess he was a Engineer at one time

[susanjohn]

I would watch a video on ANYTHING this man cared to share, he could teach most of us so much.

This is the most practical van build I've ever seen too. This is what you want.

[bhewiig]

YES! Build details please! They have their food so dialed in, I have never seen anything like that. They really take it to the next level. And 2 months food for 2 people... wow!!! I'm so impressed. I personally would not want to eat food cooked in plastic, nor use so much plastic. But it's their thought process and organization that has me so impressed. They have found a system that works for them, simplified it down and really dialed it in. So many cool little details, I love how he has done everything for a reason, and told us the reasons.

[jameslamb]

The Freezer with a couple months supply of food got my attention. The toe-kick storage is a terrific use of space! Very well thought out Van. I like it!

[russellherberg]

I watch these so I can blatantly steal ideas for my Harbor Freight trailer into camping trailer project! Love the bunkbed-to-sofa trick; that's just too cool. Thanks.

[nagualdesign]

The last few minutes skipped over what appeared to be the most interesting details, like how the ceiling was attached. He seemed to go into detail about every choice of material. I'd love to watch everything you recorded, please.
