I love how you are thinking and doing things to accomidate and assist Elizabeth, Bill. There are just things that a woman can and cannot do and visa versa. You are good examples for our young people of what a marriage is suppose to look like. So thank you both for being good examples to all of us out here.😊

Wow! Who ever thought they’d be glued to a channel, watching a guy install a door in a box truck!? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t know, but I’m a fan! I always look forward to Bill’s resourcefulness and talent as he takes on these projects! And Elizabeth? A talented lady in her own right inside their home! And what a wonderful inspiration, helper, and cheerleader she is for her hubby!

Cool, now you can make an outdoor table with the piece you cut out. Looks great

Great idea but it may have already been taken to the junkyard as these videos are usually two weeks behind

Bill you never cease to amaze me with your skills. I love the idea of leaving the back door so it can be opened to see all the wonderful scenery of wherever your travels take you two. Maybe have some sort of screen that can be pulled down or even the magnetic sliding door screen so you can enjoy all the scenery without any bugs! Awesome video. Love you guys and you be blessed as well.

You’re right! 😊❤️

Opening the back “wall” to see a view is a great idea. I look forward to seeing the box truck transformation. I don’t think I can talk my husband into converting one of these, but camping in the mini van worked out well for us in our travel.

I'm really going to enjoy your camper build series Bill. I have a 1967 Corsair travel travel that previously belonged to my grandparents. It now requires some structural repair but otherwise is fully functional. I've not done this kind of work before, so I'm hoping to learn a few pointers watching you tackle your project. Thanks so much for sharing this adventure with us. God Bless.

Wow Bill, you did an amazing job putting that door in! Elizabeth is a lucky woman!

Good grief!! I’ve been following you for several years. All of a sudden I wasn’t getting notifications! Now I’m almost a month behind! I’ll be binge watching tonight

Love the new door! I can't believe how fast you got that project done. It sure looks great. I believe you need a 5th wheel handrail that will swing into place. The handrail you showed will not allow you to grab it from the distance of the lower stair. Safety is of utmost importance with Elizabeth's mobility issues. Lobe you both so much. God 🙌.

It’s so exciting! Installing the door there changes the whole look of the truck! Bill, you are so clever and able to do whatever needs to be done. Along with your capable assistant!😉 Elizebeth I am sure you are already thinking of colors and decorating ideas. It is fun to go along with you as you turn your box truck into a beautiful RV. Thank you for the videos!🥰

I enjoy hearing kids having fun too. That's a VBS class for Elizabeth, and a great way to meet the neighbours.. ha

Watching Bill cut a hole in a perfectly good box truck and installing an RV door? You bet I’m in! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

You did a FABULOUS JOB, Bill! May🙏 God continue to BLESS the work of your hands. Elizabeth, your truly BLESSED. To GOD be The GLORY!!!🙌❤

I am laughing at myself, because I'm watching and listening while I knit a hat, and I find myself praying for Bill's success at his task, catch myself, and laugh because of course it has already happened!

I recommend installing a tankless water heater. Use a residential model that needs a chimney, it will be significantly cheaper than an RV model. I got tankless water heater for 320CAD and some chimney for 50 CAD and some roofing tar for $10 a tube; where as an RV heater can cost a thousand + dollars.

I have watched Brian back to his first van I think. I really like Kelly and dog. It would be so cool to visit with Brian in person. Very nice,gifted man. His music,carvings are so enjoyable as well his travels. Very 😊Hard worker!

Very clever thinking Mr. Bill, I can't wait when you and Elizabeth can enjoy it! Thank you for giving us a open door to your life, it truly is a breath of fresh air to enjoy such wonderful people as yourself and your beautiful family, God bless you always 🦋🌻

Liz, you are a chunk slimmer now than in last years videos! good job!!

Keeping your back door useable makes many things possible. Side L shaped in the back on both sides could make benches /beds with piano hinges on to go from benches to bed base and the opening in the L in the middle could be a dinette in center or whatever for exterior views....when closed could become lots of storage........really a ton of options. So cool......I am so excited for you both ..........on a new adventure and not having to leave the yard yet. I am sure your son as well as you two could make so many things happen in ideas that it would be unreal.........WOW so cool and so neat for you guys. Best of luck and now you have me wanting a box truck.....LOL at 77 I think I won't do that but it's fun to dream right along with you. Enjoy the prep and the journey as it moves forward. Blessings!!!!

Woohoo!! The start of a new project!!! I suppose it would be a good thought to install a magnetic screen to cross the whole back end so you can enjoy the scenery without bugs when you open up the whole back wall!!!! Sounds like fun trips coming up in the future!!!

I want a box truck! Still working on my Zen Refuge, I'm so slow. Watching your addition helped on that. Even made me more confident. Now I can watch your box truck. This is exciting!

I really like the way you talked through all the decisions you made. Very relatable.

There's a fellow named Larry who lives in Nevada, and his business is restoring vintage travel trailers. He does it the right way, if it's done wrong the whole trailer becomes a disaster waiting to happen. One of his videos is actually of a lady's trailer that just came apart while driving down the highway. Bill is doing this the right way, the reason I'm mentioning it is that Larry is a good guy, and he is very good at returning these old trailers to their former glory. His channel is called Mobiltec if anyone would like to drop by and see what he does.

Well, installing that RV door was a real 'doorable' challenge! But hey, now we can enter the world of mobile living in style!" 😄🚚🚪

This is so cool. I’ve been following Brian as long as you have. Happy for y’all. I built out my MB Sprinter back in 2017 after retiring. What a blessing that was for me. It kept me busy and just doing it was more satisfying than I ever imagined.

You should put a roll down screen so when the big door is up, you have a screen to pull down and keep the bugs out. Can't wait to see the finished camper.

The door made a big difference I'm looking forward to see it finished I always enjoy your construction videos and projects you are a good teacher because you explain everything

Nice to see Brian. Met him several years ago. Very nice guy

Elizabeth looks so cute in that video, peeking over your shoulder 😊 and she still looks cute and full of joy! You two are a sweet couple

Love your attitude about children- Young attitude- I had 10 - all old now

Heck, I'm as excited as Elizabeth!! Can't wait to see the transformation.

You are amazing, a jack of all trades. Elizabeth is your cheerleader.

What an awesome combination you two make as a couple. Yall will enjoy this custom made RV for years to come ❤

Thanks for taking us along for the reno again sooooo glad u will b able to stand and stooping would get old quickly Oh the fun you will have

You two are so sweet. Every time I watch your video's I'm blessed. Thanks

What an exciting project! I'm looking forward to watching this build and seeing the finished product.

Bill you are so talented! 🎉

Can’t wait to see the finish of your camper.

love Elizabeth’s excitement and I admit I fast forward it because I couldn’t wait to see it lol and to think this is only the beginning, can’t wait to see the finished product!

COLD HERE IN VIRGINIA, LOOKS LIKE IT IS WARM IN FLORIDA WHERE YOU GUYS ARE! GREAT JOB INSTALLING THAT DOOR BILL. BLESSING TO YOU AND ELIZABETH CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE FINISH PRODUCT!

I love watching Brian’s channel, too! He has great videos. The door looks great. Can’t wait to see the upcoming changes!

I love building things myself as you get to celebrate each additional thing. Also Rv building in the USA is a mass production of leaky homes with bad plumbing. When new they are off the road with warrenty repairs. And then they depreciate wildly.

Just adding a door has changed the look. Going to love this makeover journey. - watching from Lake Wales, Florida

It's looking good I'm so excited to see the build. I know what Elizabeth means with the door feeling like it's her RV now that's how I felt when I painted my bus I felt it's official.😊 Till next time, God bless.

looking forward to your adventures in the box truck. Elizabeth will make it cozy !

Hi Bill & Elizabeth,so happy for you.Great new adventure for you both.❤

Bill needs to work for Boeing where he can secure those plane doors so they don't fall off mid-flight. Fantastic job!

Good start on your box van to RV Conversion 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊

We bought our travel trailer steps from Amazon. We only had one step, but my short legs and bad knees needed more. They worked great for us.

I'm excited to watch your build out. I have an old van that I camp in and I love it.

I love it when a plan works out!

Hello Bill & Elizabeth Looks awesome 👍😁

Im excited to watch the transformation take place. Lighting from the door is great.😊

Elizabth,Bill, I'm excited too. Bill, you are very gifted like my late husband. Elizabeth ,I helped,cheered,helped too. So enjoy your channel very much.3 Cheers also from OKLAHOMA.

I can't wait to see this build!! Great job with the door!!

Great job, Bill! You make everything look so easy but I know it's your experience and know-how!

Wow, a lot has changed with your layout ideas! Great job!

@LiveSimpleLiveFree

Yup, it's a work in progress. Things change as we go. If something doesn't work, we try something else.

You may call RV salvage to find reasonable components, like your steps, windows, etc. There’s a good one going in from Tennessee to Kentucky on I 75 that I have used. For example an AC shroud 25 bucks where it would be over $200 new and nothing was wrong with it.

They live simple and work hard.

Great job on the door! I have seen some amazing builds with box trucks. Some have fold down decks in the back that you can't even tell they're there. I think the natural light inside will be great with the window and fan like Elizabeth mentioned. Have you thought about a window in the mother's attic area or maybe a mini split or A/C unit? I can't wait to see the final layout and how your vision turned out. I know Elizabeth will have fun decorating and finding just the right dining / cafe decor to enjoy morning coffee ☕️ or sipping tea with Jesus! I'm always amazed by people's creativity with these builds. You all keep me inspired & hopeful for our own journey..

I am subscribed to channels with 700k plus that happens to also. 4 windows that will be lots of light! Will the A/C be low profile? No solar up top? I'm excited to see progress. ~ Blessings and safety to you both.

HE'S THE ADVENTUREVANMAN. 👍👍👍✌️🙏

Get a screen door for across the back, one for a garage door. That way no bugs. An awning would be cool. Try a junkyard for stairs and other things off of recked RV's. Lots of work but fun. God bless and protect.

I'm so happy for both of you!❤ Maybe you might repurpose that door-into a kitchen table that props up with a couple of legs-it would fold flat when not in use❤❤

Very Happy for you and Elizabeth! Can’t wait to see the finished product!😃❤️🌸

Bill you have many talents, it looks great.

So happy and excited for you both. 😄

Great job on the door. I must think as you are because I thought you would do the back as you said. Another idea is a slid out bed. Sit on like a couch during the day and slides out to a bed at night. Easy to make and very strong. You can even have storage underneath. You will have so much fun designing, building, and then playing later. Enjoy.

Thank you for sharing your talents with us! I know it is not easy to do a job and have to contend with the fixins of a video camera as well. You do it very well! I love seeing Elizabeth in the videos, she’s always a bright spot. God bless you both in Jesus’s name!
