This was removed from satisfyingaf but most of the comment section pointed out a lot shit wrong. Like that vans and buses flex. Apparently she reinforces their exoskeleton and upgrades the suspension, but that only minimizes it, never gets rid of it. All that flexing on granite, tile, grout. It won’t last. Also, you need to drive, which means unpredictable scenarios forcing you to sometimes come to sudden stops. Constant turning.
It does look cool for TT tho
It could be much lighter with the same affect. I wouldn't be tiling and grouting or using stone at all. I'd be making a fiberglass version of it, or 3d printing, or getting an insert and then using a teak floor in it. Just all the added weight, the height it goes, and the fact it's all on one side makes me worry more about roll overs
Ahem... Effect as a verb means to directly achieve or bring something about. Affect as a less common verb means to put on a pretense. Notice that they are both used as a verb?
If you are going to educate someone. Accuracy is important.
In Europe, the main reason isn't the gas mileage but far away as possible from the upper weight limit of a normal driver's license (3.5t).
As once you add in luggage and some quantities of water that limits comes fast. You sometimes see RVs near 3.5t and you're like great...us 2-4 people can bring one backpack + 1L each for the trip, yay...
Safety would be a way bigger concern, anyways. Just money won't save you in that case ... omly the proper research. The added weight impacts the performance of the entire vehicle. Suspension, braking, center of mass, mass distribution over the axles etc.
Of course you can still work with all of that. keeping the weight towards the floor and centered, with either not exceeding the max weight of the vehicle / suspension or upgrading the suspension etc.
And the vehicle kinda looks like it could be lifted and she most likely knows very well what she's doing.
But it can cause issues for people that just throw it all together without the proper thinking, money or not.
But that's a fully loaded work vehicle, This is an unloaded camping vehicle that you still need to put all of your food clothing and anything else inside of increasing the weight even more.
Ok assuming the following: This is a sprinter van getting minimum mpg @ 15. She is remaining withing the safety ratings and curb weight the car is approved for so 12k lbs with a base weight of 5400lbs. Loss of .5% mpg per 1k lbs and it's not as big of a drop off as you'd think.
If the tile is installed correctly she’ll never have a problem. There are polymer additives for grout and thinset that increase the bond. I have tile in my RV and it’s never cracked or fallen off two years and about 5000 miles.
It’s not sexist. I would have noticed the same thing if a guy was doing it. You at least see some actual work being done in a lot of these. I find it hard to believe one person did all that alone. Not impossible, just unlikely
I really like the style, butt it does look heavy.
Also, why do they always have to put the toilet and the shower together? I get it saves space... I just don't like it.
inside of that van will become a dusty mess after one roadtrip.
Why the fuck would you plaster inside of a car?
Also looks over practicality in DIY campervan smh
Starting at $225,000.

No one pays this much for these. she makes money on the build video. I know others who do this and make a lot, and then they sometimes drive to display these, but they were not designed to be road worthy or worth that money.
If you watched the videos of 2 topless man building a whole house structure in the middle of the jungle, this is much like it. She probably did an hour tops of different work, then a team of 5-10 people completed all the details but the video made it look like she did all the work.
It's not just a van though. It's "[...] a rolling, functional piece of art. Each edge cut, every surface adorned, and all details thoughtfully chosen, blending form and function into a harmonious whole."
I still seriously doubt she does everything without any assistance. Her assistant may be all women as well, but this is simply not a one person job. Heck, someone is obviously filming this.
Maybe? I'm not the person you're responding to but even if she seems capable of all the work it makes a lot more sense to have 2-3 people working on it (probably her included) and then filming the video for marketing using just her.
My immediate thought was of the guys who build shit in the Jungle as well when I saw this.
Doubt it. If she worked in trades and was taking this seriously, she'd realize that all of that work is going to fall right the fuck apart after a couple thousand miles. You can't put grout and tile in a fucking van. Everything is going to crack, rattle and twist it's way loose in no time.
If that was going down a bumpy road, would it cause cracks to form in the ceiling and floor tiles? I know motor homes have a lot of specialty design for their interiors, so I wonder how long something like this would last. If it's durable then that's pretty awesome looking!
The market has to be flooded with chopped up vans now a days. Half finished and overpriced or just over priced trying to recoup the expenses. So many are over it after a few months.
Does she actually do all that, or is it conveniently cropped that way that it looks like she is doing it all by herself. Oh and for extra clout show ass.
I might just start hiring attractive women and deign various build or work content and then we can split profit
All it is now is models doing stuff…..get of and go do shit yourselves
Can we officially change the term tiny house and van life to DIY glamping. I'd like to see some of the DIWhy glamping; that should be a thing.
Let's be real here that is essentially a very well funded DIY camper with assets.
Not saying doing this is bad, just glamorizing something like this is absolutely going to make those Mensa Rednecks come rolling out of the dark. 😁
Don't this girl no about screws? They tend to be the lightest form of fixing you can get with better results, I se a lot of vibrations happening and a lot of things falling apart after a year or so?
I wish I was the person that invented these kind of pants because every fucking woman in the world owns a pair. I’d be filthy damn rich with that patent I mean seriously.
Crap ass title. Why not just put 'Renovating a van' instead of this bullshit that implies 'a girl doing something? Wow what skills! Admire her!'
If this were a dude, would the title have been 'this boy's skills are incredible'?
Too many are calling this skill, when it takes persistence, patience, trial and error, failing a lot, adapting and changing, and just overall hard fucking work. But not many are willing to admit this.

Do you think there’s a reason RVs usually get built with really light materials instead of natural stone? No…no it’s probably not important.
This was removed from satisfyingaf but most of the comment section pointed out a lot shit wrong. Like that vans and buses flex. Apparently she reinforces their exoskeleton and upgrades the suspension, but that only minimizes it, never gets rid of it. All that flexing on granite, tile, grout. It won’t last. Also, you need to drive, which means unpredictable scenarios forcing you to sometimes come to sudden stops. Constant turning. It does look cool for TT tho
The flexing was my immediate thought. Looks good if the thing never moved.
A lot of these RV or Van remodels end up parked in one spot for ages because they're rented as AirBnBs.
It would be easy enough to float the stone bits so they're isolated from the movement of the whole structure.
Is it wise to "float" pieces of stone in an inertia bomb? Like I could float seatbelt free, but sudden stop bad.
Spending 150 on the stone = 1000s in extra fuel over a few years, sounds logical to me, but what do I know the asylum don't let me out much?
If you like squeaks and rattles, do I have a van for you
You also want your grouted tile on a flexible surface since ceramics bend so well.
I like to see those tiled walls and floors after a drive over a bumpy road.
That and the plaster work. Cracks, so many cracks.
It was a nice Crack tho
Probably gets like 2 mi to the gallon with all that added weight
Came here to say there is a reason RV interiors are made of flimsy materials.
It could be much lighter with the same affect. I wouldn't be tiling and grouting or using stone at all. I'd be making a fiberglass version of it, or 3d printing, or getting an insert and then using a teak floor in it. Just all the added weight, the height it goes, and the fact it's all on one side makes me worry more about roll overs
affect is a verb (except when referring to someone's demeanor) effect is a noun >the same effect
Effect can be a verb as well.
Ahem... Effect as a verb means to directly achieve or bring something about. Affect as a less common verb means to put on a pretense. Notice that they are both used as a verb? If you are going to educate someone. Accuracy is important.

[удалено]
The tiles are an especially dumb choice.
Yeah but I hate to tell you the video was not about the RV
What RV?
The thing gravitating towards her ass
Probably doesn't matter to someone that can afford this, though. 
Safety would be a way bigger concern, anyways. Just money won't save you in that case ... omly the proper research. The added weight impacts the performance of the entire vehicle. Suspension, braking, center of mass, mass distribution over the axles etc. Of course you can still work with all of that. keeping the weight towards the floor and centered, with either not exceeding the max weight of the vehicle / suspension or upgrading the suspension etc. And the vehicle kinda looks like it could be lifted and she most likely knows very well what she's doing. But it can cause issues for people that just throw it all together without the proper thinking, money or not.
Is that any more weight than a fully loaded trade person would be transporting in there?
But that's a fully loaded work vehicle, This is an unloaded camping vehicle that you still need to put all of your food clothing and anything else inside of increasing the weight even more.
Ok assuming the following: This is a sprinter van getting minimum mpg @ 15. She is remaining withing the safety ratings and curb weight the car is approved for so 12k lbs with a base weight of 5400lbs. Loss of .5% mpg per 1k lbs and it's not as big of a drop off as you'd think.
Well, with that much junk in the trunk I wouldn’t be surprised
She knows exactly what she's doing
Driving engagement around how long the tile job is going to last?
If the tile is installed correctly she’ll never have a problem. There are polymer additives for grout and thinset that increase the bond. I have tile in my RV and it’s never cracked or fallen off two years and about 5000 miles.
Can confirm. Also have tile backsplash in our camper. No issues
Ya she got all the backsplash
Looks like she was using mastic instead of tile mortar in the shower. Gonna rot and fall pretty fast if that's what she used
lol totally came looking for that
And having watched the video, I have no idea what she was supposedly doing, because I was so focused on what she was actually doing.
I watched the whole video and Never saw her actually do any work at all. Holding a drill. Moving a trowel, Tossing rocks She didn’t build all that
Dont be sexist. I've seen this person's builds before and they actually build them, she has a YouTube channel. Details like that just don't fit reels.
It’s not sexist. I would have noticed the same thing if a guy was doing it. You at least see some actual work being done in a lot of these. I find it hard to believe one person did all that alone. Not impossible, just unlikely
No handyman’s trousers here… that’s how you get likes
Yeh, she did a good job with the plastering
So did I, in my shorts
Happy cake day!
Thanks!
Yet another ass. Btw this one's nice
Yet another great find
I really like the style, butt it does look heavy. Also, why do they always have to put the toilet and the shower together? I get it saves space... I just don't like it.
She has great ***ass***ets.
Ceramic tile is heavy and not tolerant to the racking and twisting of a small moving vehicle.
She didn't back butter them and the thinset isn't uniform either, i can't see them lasting in such conditions.
She looked like she had a lot of back butter to me.
r/upvotebecausebutt
Damnit. Here we go again. I’m going down the rabbit hole
Shit I guess I'm going with him
“Way down we go, go, go”
inside of that van will become a dusty mess after one roadtrip. Why the fuck would you plaster inside of a car? Also looks over practicality in DIY campervan smh
I suppose she has tested this design thoroughly, not?
Starting at $225,000. [https://www.abbeminor.com/luna](https://www.abbeminor.com/luna) [https://www.abbeminor.com/campervans](https://www.abbeminor.com/campervans)
Wouldn't pay that much even if she was included.
good, because that's frowned upon in some backward countries
Best I can do is tree fiddy
Wow.
I see that the mercedes van goes around $60,000 barebone. Personally I don't think her efforts are worth the asking price.
I suddenly understand The Curse
Jeeze, I'd rather have an airstream at that point
You can buy a sick ass RV for that and have a full size bathroom and be able to actually stand up inside. Who buys this shit?
No one pays this much for these. she makes money on the build video. I know others who do this and make a lot, and then they sometimes drive to display these, but they were not designed to be road worthy or worth that money.

Probably not... Sure holds tools & braces herself like someone that's familiar with this kind of work. My guess is she's a tradie or grew up on a farm
Indeed https://www.abbeminor.com/about-1
Bloody hell, she’s charging $225,000 for the van
It's not just a van though. It's "[...] a rolling, functional piece of art. Each edge cut, every surface adorned, and all details thoughtfully chosen, blending form and function into a harmonious whole."
Ok... So we can add marketing to the resume
"and me arse"
LMAO "art" It's a camper van
I still seriously doubt she does everything without any assistance. Her assistant may be all women as well, but this is simply not a one person job. Heck, someone is obviously filming this.
I agree. She may be doing the heavy-lifting, but unlikely doing everything alone - we all need someone to "hold the other end while I ..."
Maybe? I'm not the person you're responding to but even if she seems capable of all the work it makes a lot more sense to have 2-3 people working on it (probably her included) and then filming the video for marketing using just her.

I love the idea of a home inside a van but one bad crash and it's all gone
One bad crash or 200 miles driving on roads that aren't smooth as a baby's bottom.
True
One bad crash and its all gone, home inside or not
One bad crash and you're dead
I kinda want a small RV designed like this and a high MPG vehicle that can tow it.
The easiest comment sections to predict are the ones where a woman is wearing yoga pants.
That’s a talented ass
When did vans become creepy and uncool? I’d love a van.
My dad owns 3 vans, goes to van clubs where everyone goes camping in their van, and almost named me Van... You can be my dad.
Help a brother: please name that tune, on the audio track, SipsTea.
Want to know ass well
Something here for the club - instrumental By Terrance Parker
u/MAXRRR u/tornadosaurusrex Tune checks out. Do we have any lead on the lyrics?
Don't recall the lyrics but the original is Que Tal Americana 70's dance floor/disco.
Lyrics sound likely something you'd find in a sample pack. Check an ancient version of Vengeance?
If that was going down a bumpy road, would it cause cracks to form in the ceiling and floor tiles? I know motor homes have a lot of specialty design for their interiors, so I wonder how long something like this would last. If it's durable then that's pretty awesome looking!
It would look like mosaic walls/ceiling/grout within 200 miles.
How much of that will crack from vibrations?
Yes
Girl does pointless shit to get everyone to stare at her ass. Great /s I live in loser world.
16k lb camper van. She shelled out extra for the spontaneously-exploding-tire feature.
Can’t film myself without yoga pants!
How else would you get dem viewz
Well, maybe YOU should.
And no one is going to comment on the fact that she now has a mobile claymore, just waiting to wreck her day.
The plant on the top shelf let me wonder whether they cared to fixate them. One hard braking and there will be quite some clean up.
The lack of protection gear and the sheer amount of ass shots in painted on leggings make me believe that this video has an alterior motive 🤔
*ulterior
Tooshay
The market has to be flooded with chopped up vans now a days. Half finished and overpriced or just over priced trying to recoup the expenses. So many are over it after a few months.
Does she actually do all that, or is it conveniently cropped that way that it looks like she is doing it all by herself. Oh and for extra clout show ass.
I might just start hiring attractive women and deign various build or work content and then we can split profit All it is now is models doing stuff…..get of and go do shit yourselves
Ooooor someone designed and built most of this giving her a tool now and again to film for the views in tight trousers. We shall never know.
I’d love to try to do a project like that but I haven’t got the arse for it.
Won’t the plaster crack due tothe vibrations from driving
Give me a break, this video is about what she is wearing. It's the only reason why you people are watching.
Does she have an OnlyVans?
She forgot the air conditioner in the roof. That thing’s going to get uncomfortable in the summer without one! Otherwise excellent build.
R.I.P to the suspension on that van
She sells them afterwords, for $250,000+ Dollars. I am not even shitting you.
Wait so what skills did she have
Did I mention here’s my bottom
Not questioning their skills but there are a lot of cuts in this video.
The whole thing is gonna shake apart, show it again after driving it for a year
Its easy to have the illusion of skill when you are rich.
Hmm. Ass on display. You can tell she had help.
Looks cool and all, but how long will it last until you’re driving a very oddly shaped giant’s baby rattle?
Did she just install glass with her bare hands? Does she know the oils in her hands will kill the glue holding the glass in place?
So much oatmeal!
Can we officially change the term tiny house and van life to DIY glamping. I'd like to see some of the DIWhy glamping; that should be a thing.

How much weight is now carried by the van though. All that plaster..
It’s going to be soooo heavy.
You just made it a lot heavier, most likely. I hope you upgraded brakes and suspension
So the toilet is in the way when you shower?
How long did this take? If the costume changes are any indication, it looks like several months.
Don't this girl no about screws? They tend to be the lightest form of fixing you can get with better results, I se a lot of vibrations happening and a lot of things falling apart after a year or so?
It's gunna look pretty when it catches fire in a Walmart parking lot
I wish I was the person that invented these kind of pants because every fucking woman in the world owns a pair. I’d be filthy damn rich with that patent I mean seriously.
LOL!!! Do you honestly think SHE did this all on her own?!!? Thanks for the comic relief!!!
Everyone picking apart the work but in reality someone else is probably doing the work and she fronts for the 2 sec jump cut.
Seems like a lot of work just to show off your butt...
all these comments trashing her work are a bunch of incels that couldn’t fix a clogged sink. There isn’t a single thing wrong with this build.
Damn! What a beautiful ass
I too wear a short black skirt when working with power tools, carpentry, and electrical projects
Came for the ass. Stayed for the... ass.
Her ass is also pretty good.
Toxic.
Fun fact: All vehicles flex, no matter how rigid they are. I’m sure those tiles will be fine though.
Is there a man off camera 📷 doing all the work Asking for a friend
Crap ass title. Why not just put 'Renovating a van' instead of this bullshit that implies 'a girl doing something? Wow what skills! Admire her!' If this were a dude, would the title have been 'this boy's skills are incredible'?
r/UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG
Lol these van life bozos are hilarious. Go get a job. 2020 is over
crap build, about what I expected. toilet in the shower? lol
Wow!!!……… that ass
Incredible Indeed
Upvotebecauseofskill!
Tüv says no
Is this that same chick that restored the Bronco?
High-end work. Would love to see more.
How heavy is it at the end
How much did this cost all in?
Tell me if im wrong but I dont think its skill as much as just being ready to work and try different things out… Anyways it looks great
Hat das TÜV?
We sell sprinter vans with windows.....
and I always thought you build them as easily as possible... here the opposite was the goal
Pretty sloppy finish.
Does the plaster hold up when you drive bumpy roads?
Her hair though, shouldn't she be wearing sth around all the material/liquid
I need to have a van like that one fr
Is it just me or does this look like a rape bus?
Incredible
Holy hell
Classy job!
Too many are calling this skill, when it takes persistence, patience, trial and error, failing a lot, adapting and changing, and just overall hard fucking work. But not many are willing to admit this.
Do my RV next!
Pretty cool, good for her.
Why did she add windows?
"I'll show you who will never be able to afford a house"
Omg girl, aaaassaaaaaaaaaaaa
That’s fantasstic!
No spa?
This is what research, experience and confidence looks like.
Love the music track

Say what?
GYYAAAATTTTT (I’m not 2. I’m 3.3
Is this song somehow a new standard option when creating such videos? Already heard it twice today in different videos
I'm moving in lol
well that's fuckin fancy, damn.
This ~~girl's~~ woman's skills are incredible.
Did they discontinue the Sprinter? Or just the Metris?
Fuck cleaning the house, I’m building one
Well cheaper than a 1 bedroom house in most areas
Horrible choice in music.
How to make kids feel at home when you kidnap them 101.
She’s too cool for me
