This man is genuinely a genius. I’m a project manager in construction of custom homes, and I’ve yet to make use of small spaces to this extent. Your designs and build quality is impeccable, thank you for the inspiration. You should bring back the funny commentary, I still remember the toilet commentary from your personal rv renovation a while back. The thought of it still has me rolling. Love the vids and can’t wait for what you have planned, (more personal vids maybe? Your personality is hillarious).
Agreed. 🙋🏽♀️
Great build but that shower looks too small. I'm not talking about the height but rather the actual size. I'm not mistaken it's barely as wide as the toilet bowel. BTW, did it have some sort of shower curtain to prevent water going everywhere including into the drivers cabin?
Hi, I thought this build was great. Maybe put a few wire baskets for gadgets and shoe storage bags on the back of each seats in the front... but if you do, make them the clear fronts where the "shoes, or wipes, clorox wipes could be stored also find a place to put a stored away table, because they will need a table for outside the van. Thank you, great job. 😊
@@Veer_Ras I think it's set up for a shower curtain rather than a shower door. That allows for some elbow room depending on how one configures the shower rod system which can be larger than the footprint of the shower pan.. The same curtain provides privacy for toilet functions. There are alot of van lifers who travel alone so its not an issue.
I love it😊😊
This looks like a mini apartment on wheels. This is so beautiful. I love the way you always make multiple uses for everything in there. That really comes in handy, it's like you have everything even on the road. I absolutely love this build! Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful builds.
Carpenter,woodworker,plumber, electrician, welder,engineer, designer,vehicle conversion…et cetera. KZhead routed me to your video showing your impeccable God given skills. I’m subscribing and anticipating your next conquest. Bravo
As a Carpenter, I'm always interested in this guys videos! He always supplies options and gives me ideas. Thanks for the content, bro
Coming from a real carpenter, that means a lot! I’m glad these videos are able to give you ideas
@@Dualex_Builds I love the way you did this! You’re a true pro! Do you travel to do this for others? What are your rates?
This is the first client build if I’m correct. I’ve watched this amazing carpenter for sometime now. In the past he’s purchased camper vans and added his own style and ideas to his builds. Also other home on wheels include a tent top to his truck. All in which have came out amazing. If you go back can see he was part of a building team on the first season of Gutted. I believe the sky is the limit for you man! I 100% hands down would travel to your shop if you were to ever open one up. I’ve been trying to do my own builds in my rig for a year now but can’t seem to come out with solid work such as yourself. I just keep trying and watching you and others. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing with us! ✌🏼
@@Dualex_Builds It would helpful on your videos to share what the costings are on the builds, broken down on Labour and materials.
Agreed, in designing pieces I have borrowed a few ideas. Keep them coming!
I just wished you could build this world to love one another and maybe this world would be a wonderful place to live ,you are the man with your craft so keep up the great work.👍👍
I have never seen such craftsmanship and mastery and I am 76 years old absolutely great workmanship young man I will look forward to seeing your videos again
The algorithm found your video for me, and to say that I was blown away is an understatement! How did you learn all this stuff, you're so young?! Truly amazing. 😊
You're a master craftsman! Beautiful build!
In my country the ultimate approval that you can get from people for your craftsmanship is the title "maistor"-which means "master in your craft!And this dude is the example for that kind of man !Much love brother ,your videos are inspiration!
I was feeling down but as soon as I start to watch your work, I am automatically cheered up given your creativity and your ingenuity as I keep repeating. I just love your work and videos.
🕊️✝️
My dad and I are watching your builds (thank you KZhead for suggesting this channel!), I just got a 2017 Promaster 2500 and your talents and expertise are going to be making a HUGE impact on my life! Thank you!! Btw, your filmmaking is top👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼✨
My father is a contractor/engineer and I wish I grew up with him (different countries) I could’ve picked up all these skills!! I just discovered your channel and I’ve been running through the videos taking mental notes, sorry for your loss bro, I gotta build something with my dad while I still can.
Your builds are so spectacular and they're getting better all the time!!
Can confirm I was also randomly introduced to your channel. I was hooked watching you build this. I couldn't wait for the tour! Needless to say it came out beautifully! You're going to sell like hot cakes that's for sure! There's a lot of people who do van travel for their jobs and I'm sure your work would be a dream for them. Good luck with your creations and talents! You deserve all your success. 😊 💕
Yes he certainly does!✅
Would love to see client reactions. This is beautiful, and you’re super talented. Amazing transformation.
Beautiful build. Love the gold accents and fixtures.
Your client has a awesome van 😊 DualEx you should be very proud of yourself in completing this van conversion. I love everything that you have created.🤗
One of the things we absolutely LOVE is, your decision to use PEX piping for your plumbing. We like how you still use all the old school maintenance rules like draining your lines (we do too), but in most cases, PEX will not leak or burst like copper & PVC. PEX is the very best option for mobile-units. Awesome job Bro.
One year, after an absolutely horrible Winter, we LITERALLY had to replace ALL of the copper & PVC plumbing in our building. PEX piping has been a God-send.
good to know
Plus, after a very small learning curve, pex is very easy to use and more forgiving too.
People still use copper or PVC ?? Damn I haven’t used either of those in over 10 years
There is nothing basic about this Home. Amazing as Usual. Love the gold and white.
Everything you make is beautiful, and thoughtful.
I'm sure your customer will be/is very happy with your craftsmanship. Very, very nice.
Been following you for years broski. Actually made me buy a van 2021. I’m pretty much copying this exact layout. The pull out bed is genius. Thanks for posting these.
I’m glad I could inspire you! Good luck with your build I’d love to see it when it’s finished
I watch a ton of van build videos and you have raised the bar! Fantastic job with the materials, design...!! Your attention to detail is bar none. Keep up the amazing work that you do.
Hey, Hope all is well. You've never been gone this long. Just wanted to check in on you to see if you're okay. I'm sure you're really busy creating other works of art somewhere. Looking forward to your return 🙂
I'm almost 70, and very impressed by your work, your efforts to produce quality results. I have no doubt that I will see you heading a multimillion dollar company someday, producing fantastic conversions!
Thanks for sharing your talent and ingenuity. This is one of the BEST building series that I found by accident. Can't wait to see more.
👆Mᴀssᴀɢᴇ ᴀʙᴏᴠᴇ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴄʟᴀɪᴍ ᴀ ᴘʀɪᴢᴇ!📩
Lmao. Literally same here. Stayed on cuz I was curious but this guys got skills
The Bed versatility is great! Who would have ever thought of something like that? A man who loves to use it no doubt!
Your work ethic, attention to detail and commonsense practicality are superb. Keep shining!
The entire time I was thinking that this vehicle might need alot of charging while traveling since you use electricity for alot of stuffs, but when you showed us that it has solar panels, man that had me shocked that you can actually just charge everything up without having to worry about ever running out of electricity. That's a great build!!
Remember the sun has to be shining in order for the panels to charge…snow, overcasted days, blocked by trees won’t help
solar panels nowadays work in overcast conditions@@janiceknight1035
I believe, though, the battery(ies)stores a certain amount of energy, though, to cover most if not all of the needs of this relatively low-energy-demand set up@@janiceknight1035

Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth,investing remains the priority. Forex trading has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payout,with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works
@@paulmontgomery4732 I agree with you, I had a friend in the office who lived well but never had an investment, unfortunately his job ended so he went from living well to surviving
investing still remains the top note for any individual who wish to save for the future
In few years to come people will be kicking themselves in regrets if they miss the opportunity of buying or investing in Crypto currency
@@hannahjones2069 Who doesn't know Mrs Audrey ? It's been a year since i met her and I'm still making great profits under her guidance.
Dude, I love all of these little projects that you build, so cool. very inspiring!
That’s incredible. When I was watching, I kept thinking, “I could live in that!”
Hey Dual Ex! Your content is addictive! I've been following your journey on here for a few years now, and your videos never get old for me. Keep up the good work my man!
He definitely needs his own show. He's not even trying to be entertaining (or maybe he is) but he is so entertaining in an odd way. Plus, his build is amazing!
Real genius here who takes care of tiniest details with same perfection.
Wow, I’m super impressed by the double bed and the placement of all the electrical and lights etc. he went above and beyond creating two entry points for circulation with the fan in the ceiling and then above the bed the opening, and then the detail to choosing different screens like you can cover the light or you can put a mosquito screen man, I think you thought of every darn thing. I actually like that you mimicked the tile in the kitchen over above the bed. The only thing I would’ve done there’s I would’ve made that tile to the other side instead of above the head of the bed, unless there was a reason why you couldn’t. I honestly really have no critiques to be honest because everything looks like it’s done to perfection, and I am just overwhelmed and surprised about all the little details that you put into this. It’s incredible. I would definitely trust you to make my own van.
I am really impressed with the skill and thought that went into this one! Love to watch these builds!
Nice build. I think the simplicity really makes the design work well...max storage and functionality without feeling like a sardine can.
👆Mᴀssᴀɢᴇ ᴀʙᴏᴠᴇ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴄʟᴀɪᴍ ᴀ ᴘʀɪᴢᴇ!📩
You did a great job for the space allotted. Amazing jack of all trades, and being as young as you are! God bless you!
You created a sample of wealth. You are you incorporated. I wish you well. Outstanding job putting the decorated van together. Future customers will be calling.
Your work is amazing… I wish I had the nerve to travel solo… I would have no one but you build my van….continued success to you
Been watching this field for a couple years (recovering health issues) and am amazed by the creativtyof the people making living spaces to fit themselves. I call it 1000 people solving the same problem 900 different ways and they are ALL RIGHT. Yours has reached the top of my list for well thought out, functional means of doing everything in a small space. Thank you for doing it, and for vidding it so we can find better ideas and save ourselves time and trouble. Keep up the good work, hope to run into you on the nomadic road.
You are a clever, hardworking young man. Best, you are your own boss. Onwards and upwards. Good job
You have mad skills. A man who can wrench is worth his weight in gold.
Very great investment instead of paying for a hotel! I would have asked that you insulate the back doors too and add an under van cover to protect the items underneath. Beautiful ❤
I've been watching your builds and always enjoy them so much. They are always different and creative, not the same old stuff all the time. You have really come a long way, Bravo Sir 👏
You do such a good job you make me want you to make me one for me and one for my daughter. I appreciate the pride that you take in your work thank you.
You are an artist, a craftsman, and a gifted designer.
Wow! You're incredible! I stumbled across your channel by accident, but now I'm hooked and I'm watching your other videos to catch up. I'm blown away by your talent and expertise! I'm amazed at how you can come up with these ingenious ideas. I look forward to seeing more! Best Wishes.
I agree wholeheartedly
Inspired, good to see young brothers doing something productive and positive keep doing ya thing🙏🏽
so far this is the most stunning van conversion I've ever seen in yt
Ahem, you’re making it for a vertically challenged person. Please. (I’m just teasing!) Honestly, this was mesmerizing to watch. The craftsmanship is impeccable! Truly, thank you for sharing your gift!
This is actually pretty unique with the white out shade and definitely the bed. The bed allows this van to have all the things plus the option to make it bigger and stretch out if desired. And not have to after a long drive
Absolutely beautiful planning, building and finished van! Fantastic!
So sorry for your loss! You did an excellent job on this van!
I think this man is The brilliant architecture in the world, love this soo much ❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy all ur builds
Sweet build! Minor fix suggestion - for the desk I think the drawer face/front should be much smaller (or flush) because otherwise the edges & corner would stick out too much and be a nuisance. Can you do a follow up tour? I'm curious what changes the van owner might've made since.
I always give you thumbs up on the things you design by James, Michael, Daniels
Hi; new subscriber here! You've displayed a VAST array of skill sets (carpentry, electric, plumbing, auto mechanic, etc.). I am truly AWED! Thanks for sharing this with us! 🙂👋🏽👨🏾⚕️

I appreciate all the work and care you put into the build as well as the tour.
I would buy this for sure! Or have you make on for me. Your well thought out designs, fore thought and details are spot on. Not to mention the decor is beautiful! Nice job!
You're a Phenom…. Master Craftsman….. smart Master Craftsman 👍🏼
You are amazing, a genius in fact. I literally just found your channel & I'm thankful I did. And after watching about less than half the video, I immediately subscribed. Can't wait to see more.
Love it!! You always do a great job, naturally talented and very knowledgeable. I have been waiting for the completion of this project. You are amazingly gifted and it’s bringing you good fortune. If we all could hone into our gifts as you have, we’d all be blessed. Please continue to walk in your purpose, it is amazingly beautiful to witness.
Hey Dualex, can you do one with a full bathroom at the back. Love to see it.
I’m planning on doing a layout like that soon! Thanks for watching
That was a great suggestion. I should have thought of that thumbs up 😅.
What a brilliant , inventive, and articulate individual. Clean lines, solid design concepts and whoah--what style! Nothing too ostentatious--just chic and sleek. Kudos! I am looking forward to more videos from you. Your talent is staggering.
Not only are you a talented carpenter but you have great taste!
Hi, I love how you gave access to plumbing in your build- great future proofing! And a sink cover is great!
good shit man, very stylish and well thought out, anyone would be lucky to have a van such as this.
Thank you! It took a while to get the design fully laid out but I think it came out good!
You are so talented. My back hurts just cleaning my bathroom, while you’re building homes. Crazy 🎉 take care of yourself
So sorry to hear about your dad :(. I lost mine 5 years ago and still stings. I'm sure he was super super proud of what an amazing son he raised. Hang in there. Still loving all of your work. Especially this one ❤❤ ❤❤❤
Another great build. He constantly comes up with new ideas and his craftmanship is fantastic.
Awesome job DualEx! Amazing work. You truly are an expert at this point... So enjoyable watching what you create... Any chance that one of these times you could make a "murphey" pull-out bed? That would be cool.
I’ve seen all your vids. Insane the improvement over 4 years even. So imagine in 4 more years, then 10 years. I think you’ll have your own full production RV company by then
You thought of everything and them some. It's elegant and straightforward. Nice job.
Your builds just keep getting better and better! I’m really impressed with how creative you are and how hard you work on these builds! I’d love to have you build out an ambulance for me one day!
🙌 You took the time and thought of everything that one might need while traveling. You Sir, are a genius and so talented ! 👏
DualEx you would be a blessing to Ghana in teaching the men there in carpentry
A door to the bathroom would make this already super Fabulous project even better.
Hi your builds are amazing I have seen lots of builders but you have a build for everyone simple and professional keep it up I am going to try my own build using your design 👍🏻
Beautiful build. It just gets better and better with each project.
You did an amazing job for your client❤️🇨🇦
Fantastic build. Your workmanship is very impressive. You are a very detailed builder and think outside the box. Thanks for sharing. I look to many more of your videos.
You are incredibly talented. God bless you and your family. Your parents did a spectacular job raising you.
Good looking classy build. You do some good work. I love the fact that you take pride in your work and put a lot of thought and effort into each project. Nice job.
As a travel nurse- I need this🤦🏾🤦🏾😂😂❤️❤️
I'm speechless. This is incredible and I will never look at a work van the same again 😅. 🎉❤
I love this build and floor plan. The final product is one of the best I've seen. Keep on posting more. Can't wait to see what you have planned.
This could possibly be the best build I'm attracted to! Thank you for doing builds. I simply love the builds. I love your explanations of what you've done or what your doing. Mostly I love the entire reveals. I'm completely jelly over THIS build. Clever , clever, clever! Please do a follow up on how the use of this van has gone. I'm so glad it wasn't a complete Swiss Army Knife. I'm always wondering how intensely exhausting it must be to have to play Jenga with your living space constantly. Oh, and one more thing. Thank you for not going all sexy in your videos. I actually appreciate that enormously.
love the way you did that bed--so much more user friendly and an easy do at night
This is a beautiful van build! Did you install a retractable shower door too? The access area is fantastic! It's a lot more fun watching someone build one who takes pride in their work! Kudos 👏🏽
I was wondering the same thing about the shower
First time viewer ❤ Your attention to details was the first thing I noticed. Really really cool build. As long as you’re building I’m going to be watching.
"wood on your leg" cracks me up!
Wow young man God bless those hands for creating this wonderful van/home on wheels and the brain to think and create wonders. God bless you as you grow and help people who want to follow in your foot steps. Stay safe and protected.🙏🙏♥️♥️ 🐝🇬🇧
Pretty amazing. I notice you didn't insulate the inside of the door though. That'll be a thermal leak. The chest-style fridge is not only more efficient but it's a generally better design for that space, I like it.
Yes, lack of door isolation is going to be an issue. Lack of caulking in the shower ceiling might be too. And the fuse box wiring looked a little small. But when you have budget+time constraint all might not be perfect.
I love this build so much. Even if it’s not your van, you still injected that DualEx flavor with the way you build Modular stuff. The only thing I would change if I were the client maybe the shower and I’d definitely insulate the back doors. I’m sure your client skimped on that to save money, but they’ll probably regret that if they camp anywhere cold.
100 % team dualEx...I saw something...on a walk about in London!...Library..and the walls with marble...beyond!
You're so talented. Thanks for sharing. People are paying over 100k for these, I hope you're getting your bags. I'm so proud to see an African American doing his thing. Love your videos ❤
Awesome work! The details you put in were amazing. I would be proud to own this Ram rig. I have a 2019 GMC Savana and it is stock but it's very comfortable for me. I have lived on the road for two years now. Great job, Dualex!
