Installing Sprinter Windows | Van Build Series
Our second big project for the van was installing windows, which was a daunting task, but turned out pretttyyyy well, minus one issue that we cover in the vlog. When we decided to build a van to live in, it was important to us to have lots of windows to make it feel less like a cargo van and more like a home. And so far we are LOVING the transformation! We tried to cover everything you need to know, but vlogging + building a van simultaneously is challenging at times, so if you have any questions let us know!
We also created a blog that has step by step instructions--you can check that out here: https://adventuresofaplusk.com/blog/how-to-install-sprinter-windows/
