Saving money on the build by buying Amazon, Chinese, etc.
Van builds have gotten crazy expensive. It seems like there are cheaper alternatives on Amazon and elsewhere and they often look identical to the name brand components, leading people to suspect they are all made in the same Chinese factory.
Have you saved money on AC, heaters, windows, etc., by going this route? Did you have problems with translated instructions? Please share your experience. I'm getting my van Saturday and I'm trying to figure out how to economize. #lifestyle source
