Due to popular demand, I've recorded a complete walk-through of my converted Mercedes Sprinter Van to show you what El Capitan Vans and I had been working on for the last year.

Due to popular demand, I've recorded a complete walk-through of my converted Mercedes Sprinter Van to show you what El Capitan Vans and I had been working on for the last year. I had it remodeled to serve as a mobile studio as I travel on the road to interview emerging global founders and leaders about their entrepreneurial story and ecommerce insights.

Watch for a full tour of the custom features (some of which haven't yet been done in a van) along with my commentary on things you may want to consider including (or excluding) from your van build.
