It’s an incredibly sad day for me, but I’ve decided to sell the van. I just started a business and don’t have time to use it anymore. It took 2 years to build it from the ground up, and I made every detail completely perfect. I’m a well known van YouTuber and I documented the entire thing on my channel. There are ~10 hours of footage building it out.
Here is the youtube video of the fully completed van tour (I’m the guy in the video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzAsxYJ8c-A
This van is very comfortable full time living or for extended trips (but simple enough to take for last minute 1-nighter), it’s very capable off road for how luxurious it is, and it’s a true 4 season van for camping below 0 degrees. I put over 1000 hours of work in to make this van one of the best ever built. Not to mention, I built it for myself, so everything comes apart and is easy to work on with just a few hand tools.

Interior (Notes)
All decorations in photos can be removed with ZERO damage to the interior. They are all either stick-on or friction fit.
Overall condition
Everything is operating flawlessly on this van. 0 things are broken.
The exterior is in incredible condition, and was recently re-ceramic coated for $2000 (first ceramic coat in 2023)
There are cosmetic flaws on things like the interior wall panels from using it over the last 3 years.
Service B ($2500) was just completed here at mercedes benz reno a few months ago. I’ve never had a single issue with the van and its running 100% perfect.
I’m probably forgetting something, but you can probably answer any question you have by watching the build series on my YouTube channel “seven o savage”
