Welcome to our van tour! We built our van with no previous experience over 6 months. We got super creative with a lot of space saving ideas for our conversion of our sprinter van since it's a Mercedes sprinter 144 wheel base. We built out an awesome kitchen, a cool stargazing feature for our convertible bed, and managed to fit a full bathroom (toilet + shower). Everything is powered by solar but we also have the option to use shore power and to recharge while driving. We have plenty of storage including a lot of room for garage space by using an easy convertible bed that still leaves room for a living room/work space.

We were hoping to receive our lift kit, new tires, and suspensions before heading out for our first adventure but unfortunately things are back ordered and will need to wait until we get back since we have some deadlines to meet. Can't wait to show you the van when we have those modifications!

    Taku is Japanese Jesus: he turns water into fish and fish into sushi; he turns wood into tables and bricks into BBQ’s; and now he turned a van into a portable and compact mansion.

    Straight from the new Outdoor Chef Life episode to the new Taklyn The World episode. Today was a good day

    Congrats Taku and Jocelyn! Loved this van tour from the beginning to the end. Both of you have worked hard. Been watching you two for a long time now, even before Outdoor Chef Life hit 60k subscribers, and now this entire van build. I really love your content, recipes and adventures. I can see the passion you have towards cooking, nature and taking care of the people around you. Keep up the amazing work. The van looks fantastic, especially for a first build. Looking forward to Alaska!

    I've seen 1000s of van conversion interior designs, I think you guys have maximized the space within a van. Unbelievable.
  • @pokeyellow9660
    I want to say I am jealous but to be honest I'm glad that I am able to live vicariously through your experiences. I am really glad you're doing this. Love the videos. Hope it its everything and more that you dreamed of! Wishing you guys every success!

  • @22apoach
    This came out super awesome. Congrats! Question. Did you do weight calculations on everything you put inside the van to make sure you aren’t overloading it ? Or was that not a concern ?
