Yeah apparently the couple does this professionally. I don’t know what i expect when i came into the comments but holy fuck it definitely wasn’t half the comments crying about these unbelievably rich people who can afford to modify a van.
You could pay $150k for a brand new pre-built camper van.
For a brand new barebones cargo van, maybe 60k (80k if you want high-roof w/AWD). And maybe another 25k in materials to mod it if you're doing all the work yourself. That's about comparable to what this couple did. They likely paid far less than that since they do this all the time.
You could easily find a van that's 5 years old for 30k or less and do all the work with reasonable materials and get all in under 50k. Very easily.
Part of it is hype, part of it is the added flexibility of vans. Class C's pretty quickly climb into territory where it's difficult to maintain yourself and storage/parking can be a challenge.
If you look at the build and materials quality of the mass produced rv’s, they are absolute shit quality compared to this. From what I can see, this build is solid plywood, compared to the almost total use of mdf and particleboard in modern rv builds from the mass producers.
