One of the first I watched....

Nice build!

I know this is 5 years old , I have to leave a comment. Beautiful you did an amazing job looks wonderful you are so talented great eye. Hope you are doing well

Lol. Sure is fun! Working on stuff huh?

Nice video. Full of good info. New door kits are nearly $1,000.00 by the time they're shipped to you. I'm sure I can save $750.00 and do it myself.

Quite a difference. It looks great.

Favourite till now. thanks

Welcome Back River ... 🥰 Please let us know when you begin to provide more video... Can't wait to see how you are doing. 💖

Thank you for creating this video. I will be replacing the door on my box truck and will be using your design. Extra thanks for showing the use of LifeTime Wood Treatment. Definitely going to use for my door panel prep... Keep up the great work.

Great information in this one

I love to see fellow rockhounds create awesome things!! it looks amazing, well done :)

You are Nasty. Clean that Stove

Very resourceful

I found your channel because of your Skyrim shield video. Good to see you're doing well. I hope you are happy now and continue to be creative. Best wishes ❤❤❤

My friends and I are going to a convention this year as Skyrim Guardians. Thanks for your video and the tips in it ❤😊

We call those separators between the wood, “Slats”

You should put rubber straps on the cracks in the outside door, to stop some of the air or rain coming in. Love your vids.

Omg STOP! Job done WRONG! CAUTION! That's not an axle nut that you torqued down to hold the brake rotor on it's a wheel bearing adjustment but and cotter pin. Immediately stop driving and loosen those nuts. You never leave them torqued down or they will be over tightened heat up seize and fail causing the wheel to lock up while driving! Please find out how to adjust a wheel bearing before you tell other people to do this incorrectly and UNSAFELY and wrong! The wheel bearing adjustment nut only gets torqued down as you rotate the rotor to fully seat the wheel bearings. After they are fully seated you are to loosen the nut and then tighten it by hand without a wrench. Insert the cotter pin into the nearest hole. Do not tighten this nut as the wheel bearings are not designed to have preload on them (being tightened). They are designed to have a few thousands of an inch of play in them. If you don't understand that consult a service manual for the vehicle you are working on or hey manual that shows how to adjust a wheel bearing. This video should be taken down or edited because you obviously have no understanding and did it completely wrong causing an condition that others will duplicate.

what compost are you using in your compost toilet? thanks

This video was a MASSIVE inspiration for my build. Well done.

Good for you!!!! Congrats 👏

I watched this back when you first posted it but found myself recently looking for Stepvan vids (that’s my kink). Some observations that I have- I always count the threads on a castle nut before I remove them and sometimes scribe a mark to remember the position of the flats that way I can see if I went far enough on reinstallation. The bare minimum is it will be the way I removed it jic the previous work was also done incorrectly. Also, when driving, the right side wheel is moving clockwise, if the castle nut were to spin (say if the Cotter pin was not in it), the nut shouldn’t loosen by spinning backwards CCW (lefty loosey righty tighty). And, the Cotter pin hole wouldn’t line up I would think if you hadn’t tightened it enough. I’ve seen wheels that were really loose from being installed incorrectly or really worn out bearings but your wheel failure was really extreme. Of course, you own the mistake if your the last one to touch it. That’s usually how it goes… I’m glad you were okay and everything got resolved. Wondering if you still have the Stepvan? Later!

Here I am , 5 years later , starting the same project in Montreal. Currently looking for a step van

Nice Design 👏👏👏

You are my Soul Sister!

The Dutch door!

it cargo van that can almost make it on the dirt road lol . If everyone did what you did where will you dump your waste . wake up people . When last time you got laid lol . Who land are you squatting on and where do you dump your waste .

Welcome, River ☺️ I'm late to this, but thanks for posting an update. Delighted to see you, and you look so much more at ease. Love the hair colour. Wishing you all the best in life. Love to Luna. I've really enjoyed all your DIY uploads, I hope you might even start a fresh channel if you want to. Appreciate all your work. Best wishes.

Very cozy and smart , Thanks

How's the door holding up? I would have used the best plywood you could find as these doors rot pretty quick.

Can tell how to wire the relay for the high beam. And you also get the high beam indicator light on?

Smart kid. Nice home!

That was great . The Van . The presentation and the words of wisdom at the end . Good luck

I know this is 6yr. Old….looks cool! I’ve been working on my shop doors… base color is copper, painted faux black straps, and faux rivets on top of the straps. Also added a scalloped black iron valance at the top of the door which looks like upside down iron crosses centered within the valance. Then I did an oxidation of patina in various places. I am part way through the second RV door. I am also redoing a very comfortable ugly chair which I’m thinking of trying your technique on the back. I’m not to worried if it doesn’t turn out as it’s just a shop chair that my dogs and everyone else likes to sit in because it’s super compfy.

flip the bracket arround then it shouldnt hit

great build bud

Iike the color on your pages 😀 I also like the cutouts from your old books because I like the collage effect.

Looks GREAT!

Hi River. I’m so glad you are living as your true self. Love your hair!

My big question with this rig is parking. Who do you handle parking at work? Or parking at a Trader Joes or some place with cramped parking. How do you handle parking at an apartment being used as a home base. What are the implications for attempting to stealth park or even park at an apartment you live in? The concept looks intreaging but I am imagining it drawing too much unwanted attention in cities and too many parking places it would be unable to go. Perhaps one of your Sylvan Secrets you could share is a spell that makes an old huge van seem perfectly legit and totally not worth calling the cops to move.

So frickin cooool!

That looks awesome btw. I too am in agreement with replacing that transformer stock headlight. I was thinking something akin to a buell xb9/12s headlight.

I love how you repurposed your old journal and painted over the text. I especially like how you made windows on different pages. I’m going to do that too! 🤗🙏

This is so absolutely cool you did so many really Innovative things to make use of the space I like the way you did the shower too you've got a lot of good genius ideas here you're going to be a great teacher and your students are going to be very fortunate to have you!!!

My favorite box truck 🚒 build! Exactly how I shower!

Very clever. Hope your dreams come true. Stay safe and well

I love how this is bigger than some apartments people pay 1300 for
