    Bonjour Amiga et Amigo. Would your pops be interested in converting another van?

  28. Lori Towne-Culver on January 4, 2023 at 3:40 am

    Thank you

  29. David Martoglio on January 4, 2023 at 3:41 am

    Awesome video! Truly makes me less worried about the cost of my van. Especially since the only real mods I want are a fan, a simple rack for solar panels, and some good tires.

  30. Łukasz Gawrych on January 4, 2023 at 3:44 am

    Guys I keen to build a van, and Yours one looks awesome. We are doing big research and we like Yours best! There is any chance to copy Your style a bit? Any video or photos from building process?

  31. J4N on January 4, 2023 at 3:45 am

    I cannot even have an empty van with less than 200’000 for this price here 🙁

  32. Silver Dace on January 4, 2023 at 3:47 am

    this video was discouraging.

  33. Marika Sword on January 4, 2023 at 3:48 am

    This was an amazing breakdown! Thank you both so much! 🙂

  34. Matt Roberts on January 4, 2023 at 3:48 am

    So about 43 thousand Canadian… plus how many hours of my life?

  35. Freddy Hardware on January 4, 2023 at 3:51 am

    Cargo Vans are not cheap here in Australia unless you know a mechanic and do a risky purchase from somebody that simply wants to get rid of a non working one. You might get lucky and find one that doesn’t need much to fix. I will not spend much (probably not at all) on the exterior apart from the solar panels. It’s going to be a stealth van. I will invest more in making sure the engine runs fine.

  36. Myron Fleming on January 4, 2023 at 3:53 am

    Thank you. I have been wondering how much it cost to do a conversion project.

  37. Daniel DaSilva on January 4, 2023 at 3:53 am

    love the video but thats a bold statement to say 6 squares of toilet paper is worth 24 cents 🙁

  38. Skylargrey1111 on January 4, 2023 at 3:54 am

    i’m impressed , was expecting a long drawn out video. thank you!

  39. Mindy Schaper on January 4, 2023 at 3:54 am

    Wow. This is much cheaper than I expected. This is an awesome breakdown.

  40. SLAM BOY on January 4, 2023 at 3:55 am

    During the "WOOD" clip I was waiting for a crotch shot but Marie supplied that at the beginning of the video . THNX Marie.

  41. casper_the_not_so_friendly_ghost on January 4, 2023 at 3:55 am

    Hello, I think all the information that you provide in your vids are great. Do you happen to have a link in Canada for the Springfield drop down pedestal table leg? Thanks

  44. Josie M on January 4, 2023 at 3:59 am
