What happens when you buy a brand-new Sprinter van… and hand it over to pros without a single plan?
In this first episode of Mike’s Van Build, VLO’s own Mike Lyons shares his vanlife journey — from childhood camping in a VW bus, to 14 months in a Eurovan named Althea, to commissioning not one but TWO custom Sprinter builds.

Along the way, Mike gets real about:
✅ The mistakes he made with his first build (and what he’s doing differently now)
✅ Choosing between Sprinter, Transit, and ProMaster
✅ Why your electrical system might be the most important part of your van
✅ How to pick the right builder for your dream rig
✅ The creature comforts worth splurging on

Whether you’re planning your first van conversion or just love hearing real-world stories from the road, this episode is full of practical tips, lessons learned, and plenty of laughs.
