No kidding, I mean I get that people are frustrated with rich people with the current economy but this was a cool build and it looks like they do these types of things for their channel. I’d definitely spend a week traveling in this thing checking out cool places

The problem is that these "builds" are a genera now.  They are all over and these people do it all with brand new custom everything.  The dirtbags who I was friends with lived out of shit like a Geo Metro with all of the seats removed and showered once a week at my apartment because he was my clbong buddy.  These people are cosplayers acting like the real thing, and it is frankly kind of gross.

No it isn't their job.  You clearly have no idea what it actually takes to get modifications like this through a government approval process for sale.  At minimum you have to fully build and crash two vehicles just to get it past the NHSB.  Then there are all sorts of other state and national certs you need for builds like this.  They built this for social media.

God you guys are fucking idiots. You honestly think you have to crash test sprinter van conversions to sell them???

Mercedes did the certifications lol spending 5 minutes on google looking at sprint van conversions for sale would show you how fucking dumb you are.

I live in Colorado my neighbor up the street does this for a job. Its a great way to make money lol.

You can also go to their YouTube and see they have done this 6x and sell plans and have a business email you can contact them on to buy one. So obviously its their job…..
