Besides a great build, great narration. Not once did I hear any filler words (I.e. basically, actually, etc.). That is an amazing feat!! You should give classes on how to do that. It’s a real skill set.

I. Love. THIS! I want a 136, cuz smaller to maneuver and park and stealth. But after years of watching van builds it is REAL easy to get overwhelmed with how much all this will cost. Grab the cabinettes from home depot and ya good to go! I like the small kitchen so you can fit in that extra seat...that solves a design challenge i was stuck on. I'm a girl who has lived off grid for 6 years in various RV sizes. I gotta have a shower and toilet. But after seeing this, i have an idea. Thanks for putting this vid together, really helpful to show ya don't have to break the bank to have a nice van build.

I'm 6'1" and change so I understand needing a Promaster High Roof. Ours is a Carado Axion built on the exact same Promaster as yours. It's fancier but it cost $70K even with a discount. More systems integration but also more expensive to maintain. Yours gets the job done so economically--impressive. I didn't know about the fuel tap on the gas tank.

I agree with your design mentality, simple, effecient, realistic, cost effective. I'll have to watch again and take notes on which tires and goal zero you have.

You did a great job editing. I did notice that you didn't mention one of the top subjects among van lifers which is going to the bathroom and washing up or showering. I've seen the myriad solutions for this but still always curious. I myself don't need a shower as there are lots of other options and I'll use a composting toilet either bought or DIY.
