There is a guy on youtube who is building a 4 season camper van from scratch on a Mercedes AWD sprinter chassis.

I check it out every few weeks or so to see how he's coming along.... he's slowly making progress. He's taking his time and seems to pour his heart into his youtube channel, but his videos only have a handful of views.

Oh, man. I love how excited he is about this, and how as you said - he's clearly pouring a lot into this. The videos I've watched so far are pretty well done, and very interesting to watch.

But the poo poo he's doing to that van. Oh, lord. That's the kind of van I love finding in the junkyard.

I'm watching the one out about mounting the light bars and WHY DID HE JUST PUT SEALANT ALL OVER THE TOP OF IT??? As soon as he pulled that caulking gun out I knew we were in trouble.

I haven't seen that one yet. It's either going to be great when it's done or a disaster.
I wasn't sure where to start after the intro, so I just clicked on a couple that looked interesting - yeah, a bit out of order.

I suspect most of it is going to work well enough, but I don't think I'd want to own it in 10 years. Which, I suppose, is somewhere in the middle, leaning toward disaster.

Also, he is SO Canadian. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 Bad. loving. rear end.

I love this project and it definitely makes me want to learn some stuff (basically, all the electrical).
