Beware of scammers! Someone's impersonating me, asking for Telegram texts. This is NOT me. Never trust or engage with such messages. Sorry guys! Love you all 💕

[@mikegreene8461]

All the messages that I got were not you telling me you loved me? 😪 😉

[@tonyhawk123]

Don't worry about those Telegram scams. Just about every popular KZbin channel which reaches a critical mass gets flooded with those stupid scams. Most regulars are very aware of them and know that it doesn't reflect on yourself. Congrats on your youtube celeb status! What I find curious is Google, which brags about their AI, can't do anything about basic Telegram scams for the longest time!

[@nzrodders]

I'm really enoying your van build. A word of advice when using power drills etc, wear safety glasses to protect your eyes and tie your hair back in case it gets caught in the chuck.

[@ebrahimmurchie4013]

Tie your Hair....😊

[@hugolafhugolaf]

True. That’s why a lot of hot women wear tight clothes and a ponytail when making KZbin vids. Yeah that’s it. That’s why.

[@ATCmonroe33]

Alicea, your design and building skills are incredible. Thank you for sharing your build progress on your van.

[@soloelisa]

Thank you!

[@tonyhawk123]

I'm working my way through these videos. Just wanted to thank you for making them so instructive! I learn more from these style of videos than from "expert" builders who try to make it sound easier than it actually is.

[@jacquesraymond6892]

For a young woman who doesn't have any experience in van conversion and any tools using skills i find you are doing more than pretty good. And above all, i admire your audacity. You know your limits like for the installation of that back-up camera and this is not a flaw, quite the contrary. So proud of you. Keep on doing and thank's for sharing.

[@mattgordon9179]

The toilet Idea, having it slide under the forward seat is a way cool idea and very practical way to use the space, Good thinking 👍

[@zsbadra]

You make me want to fly out to Florida and help you with this project, you are adorable!

[@markfenbers1329]

OMG! “Gromlets” !! So dang adorable! 😍 I’ve been a DIY guy since childhood and would love to help you! That’s my hobby! But I deeply admire your character in how you seek to learn from others and try it for yourself! Such courage! Such a beautiful person inside and out! I’m hooked on your videos!

[@FreeRV]

Hi Elisa! Practice makes perfect any job, in your case converting van into beautiful house on wheels! Love your sense of humour and hard working attitude! Best wishes!

[@russellkersh389]

Every video you impressed me more you are a hands-on lady. Wish I lived near Florida and what I met you you’re every guys dream woman.❤

[@YSBRYD-CATH]

You continue to impress! Such a determined young lady, willing to learn as you go and always getting the job done! Great job as usual!

[@jamesslittle]

Amazing work. I loved the pronunciation of 'gromlets' as it made me smile.

[@soloelisa]

🤣🫢

[@robertcooper6910]

If you don’t own a dremel tool you may find it invaluable in your build. It would have helped with expanding the hole, rather than filing. Great videos btw

[@stevem9766]

The Van is looking great ! Great Job ! Elisa

[@-RONNIE]

You are seriously doing a great job with the van 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I like how you filed the hole instead of re-drilling it to make it a little bit bigger 👍🏻

[@robertjames-life4768]

Whenever you use a hole-saw you should have the extra handle attached to your drill. When that hole-saw catches in that metal it will twist your wrists really hard. Also, with metal always have eye protection on- metal shavings in the eyes is really painful.

[@tonyhawk123]

Good tips!

[@johnnyrambles]

Van's looking great and a perfect fit on the AC Inlet! Just needed a little filing! 😆

[@72151]

She’s still easily the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Elise is doing a very nice job with a high level of detail. I fussy with detail and I would be totally happy with the job being done. Quality, functionality and looks nice. 💪🏼

[@MrBettercheck]

I think you are very brave and ambitious. Keep up the great work!

[@caspaceacas5443]

A beautiful young lady with ambition you really are an inspiration. Love your videos.

[@Mcfryguy5555]

Great videos! Great job laying out the placement and fixing the hole!

[@KennyveeHET]

Hi Elisa , Did you add a sealant behind the connection to the body ? Anytime you have to drill a hole of any kind , it’s a good idea to seal it at any entrance to the inside , thereby reducing any chance of leaks . Sadly the foam insert will not be enough . So Installing a bead around the actual main hole saw hole on the insert as well as the screws will illuminate any concerns down the road . Like what you did at the gland for the solar panels . Great job ! You’re doing amazing .

[@Ebbandflow12]

You channel has been popping up more and more!!! 😊🎉❤

[@nicholasgranat2999]

Alyssa, i admire your grit and determination! Awesome!

[@dannyeicher6173]

Nice jobs, Elisa...🎥😃👍👌👊🛠🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@TheArtisticGardener777]

So encouraging seeing someone with possibly not much experience tackling and doing some of this stuff that would otherwise be pretty daunting. You go girl!😊❤

[@LarryeWhite61]

Pro-camper builder!

[@phantp78]

Love the decision with the toilet.

[@rickbyo8643]

New follower here ! This is my dream. Not likely to come true since I’ve waited until 62 y/o to have the dream ! So I’m living vicariously thru you ! I admire your willingness to do so many things you have not done before ! Stay safe !

[@johnmonteleone6173]

WAY TO GO,VERY NICE JOB.KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

[@redfishradical]

Your self sufficiency is both a constant source of inspiration..as well as a dynamic part of your considerable physical beauty! ❤️💐👊

[@mikechamberlin8440]

So beautiful !

[@ronconley9803]

You are doing an awesome job!

[@FMTFXE22]

Hello Elisa. I just love your videos. I find myself counting the days till the next one. When you’re talking to us, I feel like I’m right there. 😊

[@DesertPackrat]

You have the patience and meticulousness that I have on projects.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

I really like the cameras. Can you put a link in the description for further information on your cameras, please?

[@burnie3911]

Love the way you are tackling your van build,You should be proud,I guarantee you have inspired others to do things they might have been intimidated by before

[@sleepertesla6613]

A woman with power tools ⚒️👍 good work with the installation.

[@RolandoNispiros]

Great job on the cutting and install of the plug outlet. Takes courage. ❤

[@ChefEarthenware]

A Like for treating the bare metal. I've seen so many people not do that.

[@jaym4971]

Great job, Elisa! Sometimes I just want to say "Wait there's an easier way to do that!!" But girl, you're doing a fantastic job. By the time you're done you will know your camper\van literally inside and out! And you're very entertaining. Keep going 👍👍

[@sunilbarate6622]

Successful experiments always gives us happiness. Waiting to see your fully constructed RV.

[@Fmrlt9a]

The more videos I watch of yours the more amazed I am how awesome you are.

[@woodly1069]

I love that you did this by yourself, you are an inspiration!

[@jaxsonhugh9334]

You are doing an amazing job with your van……👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ronaldmertes9180]

I like your willingness to tackle any project I respect you immensely enjoying watching you build your dream van, prayers !

[@Salsadepr40]

The 30AMP sure looks professional install.👌👍

[@urtaxwiz]

LOL, wrong sized drill saw bit, I can relate. Good on you for showing your successes and slip ups to help others.

[@vandover1528]

Great location for the outlet. Your just a regular jack of all trades. Your doing fine.

[@user-rg5du5oq8q]

Good work Elisa , your adding weight to your van make sure your tires will be rated for your needs . We enjoy your videos.

[@photomiqs7553]

Great job Elisa👍 Your camping car take a nice shape after every step. A little tip. When you drilling on a metal you can use tape on the hole spot so the drill is not sliding. Good luck with your next step ❤

[@rickchollett]

A strong, independent and beautiful woman! It's a wonder to behold! I know there are more out there but to see one as frequently as we do you is nice. You're doing a great job! I wasn't aware that Best Buy did installation services!

[@hsbcgeoff]

Well done Elisa. You are doing a great job. I love the way you are working through situations that are alien to you. Keep up the good job.

[@eeyorerx5633]

Good job! 👍

[@Michael_Midget1808]

Looks like you are enjoying yourself, and I bet you are learning a lot about yourself while building your van to what you want❤

[@DeryckeJohan]

Nice project! One tip for later on when you are using your van: keep the solar panels clean as it can mean an efficiency loss up to 15% when they are dirty from rain dust etc.

[@joea1746]

Wow! The Van conversion is turning out really amazing! Looks OEM nicely done. 👍

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Great job of installing the coupler. It doesn't matter how many times you measure. You get one chance of getting it right. That's a good location it protects your plug when it's in. You can even use a velcro strap and secure it to your ladder. May is a pretty fair goal. When it came time for my shower installation, I opted to just pull the toilet out. The last thing I wanted was a leak that was under the bed. With all the movement I wasn't certain that the door gasket would hold up.

[@davidgherardi7414]

Have the save dash cam in my truck. Valuable piece of equipment to have on the road these days considering how many terrible drivers are on the road and using it as a back up cam helps also. Great progress and you're very patient at the work you do and that's paying off well.

[@raybo34]

Nice work so far. Taking your time and doing things right and overcoming little hiccups along the way. Looking forward to seeing more progress.

[@ProudAmericanPhil]

Stumbled upon your videos on KZbin. Agree with several of the comments you should definitely be wearing safely glasses. I've gotten metal in my eye before it is a sob. Got to admit I laughed a little bit when you were messing with the tools in one of the videos stating you did not know how to use tools but the I got this attitude the willingness to learn and the determination to do the majority of it yourself added in with a little overthinking and the fact that you are just absolutely beautiful yeah you've got my attention can't wait to see how it all turns out. I wish you nothing but the best.

[@xrpxtrariceplease2811]

you are one smart lady. I love your bathroom idea too

[@racebanning6390]

WELL DONE LIL LADY.... AWESOME WATCHING THE BUILD. YUR SO PRETTY.🙏🙏🙏👍👍💙💙

[@watzizname]

It's certainly coming along, really starting to look the part now..

[@jimlangdon6703]

Isn’t it a great feeling when your finished and everything went well.

[@diffusesden5455]

Thats some darn good filing skills! Great Job recovering from a potential problem!!

[@riaanvanzyl-ti6sd]

Hi Alisa, you can be proud of yourself. Very great job well done.

[@gonewiththekale]

Thanks for that dash cam tip with Best Buy -- I went there and they did the same install for me (thank God because my stepdad couldn't figure out how to do it). Thank you for these (often times) educational videos!

[@soloelisa]

Nice! I love mine, hope you do too!

[@stevesobiech2626]

Just ran across your channel I really enjoy watching a diy van build. You have a smart way of thinking and doing things. Must be your pharmacy background and getting things done correctly is a must. Boy it sure rains a lot!

[@Guaypao325]

Hi Elisa. Thank you for trusting us with the installation of your reverse/dash cam. PS, just finished binge watching all of your content. Now impatiently waiting for the next video,

[@soloelisa]

That’s so cool! I’m so glad I came to you guys! Thank you so much!!! 🤗

[@kellywilkins8043]

You’re doing awesome! Stay patient and keep at it!

[@terry5987]

You're getting it done ... looking forward to see how the floorplan looks.....you definitely research very well...maybe do a camping video in your 350. Those were fun to watch also

[@russellkersh389]

I really enjoy your videos. Your hands on lady very few would attempt to do what you’re doing. Keep up the great work.

[@josephhughes9490]

Alisa you are amazing absolutely gorgeous and adventurous. Just a dream girl. Impressive how you do just about everything yourself. Love the slight Latina accent.

[@greatbasinexploring]

I really enjoy your videos and I am impressed on what you have been able to accomplish. When the van build is finished, you really should bring it out west. There are a lot of amazing places to see out here.

[@user-ro9vx8kd4z]

You're doing an awesome job with the van build. Can't wait to go camping with you! 😅

[@user-bg3yi6qs9s]

You going to be a professional by the time you are done 😊 good 👍 job 👏

[@Dinsdale2020]

I do not blame you for measuring everything multiple times. Making a mistake cutting into the van could ruin your day. It’s a nail biter. 👍👍🙏😀🍀

[@anthonytodd3408]

Hi Elisa🎉Absolutely great job considering you have never used the tool ⚙️ before, well done. Good luck with the rest of the project. I’ll be watching. Tony ❤🇬🇧xx

[@rictri03]

Love that idea for the toilet yes👍👍👍nice install for thee power port too.😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@melspencer1890]

Just a note on drìlliñg holes in the sheet metal body....it is critical to use a sealant to coat the cut edges of drill holes...bare metal will rust and stain very quickly and corrosion will spread from there . Remove one screw at a time and liberally coat all bare edges....butyl sealant is the best. I am sure you have this now and will redo any mounting to eliminate future grief. Love your channel. Best !!

[@soloelisa]

What about rust oleum? Thats what I used

[@robshea2817]

Great work with the installation of the RV inlet I'm enjoying your videos and looking forward to more

[@johnnovak3560]

E, You are sooo brave!! I've had various RV's for years and am not up to tackling the jobs that you have. Way to go....keep up the good work/videos!!

[@davidmussack4529]

It looks like you are doing a really good job. It is better to drill a hole too small, than too big though, right? I appreciate how cautious you are, measure twice, cut once and all that. This is a great learning video.

[@BenzJaguar]

Tienes la paciencia de una roca - Bellamente hecho - Yes, beautifully done 🤗

[@robertkelly3131]

Most women I know would be terrified to attempt anything that you did in this video. You are a marvel! Soy electricista... Si hay preguntas, preguntame. I have a sprinter.

[@mtsarch]

I like what Elisa's vanity plate says. and I did exactly that. 😂

[@vangoodwin7335]

Great work Miss Elisa, I am wiring the kitchen I have been remodeling, do you want to lend a hand? Your home is coming along and you more than anyone will know it's systems and how to maintain it, that in itself is fabulous! That shower/ toilet combo is pure genius and it will look so good in your home, Thank You to whomever shared the idea! As I remodel my own camper cutting new holes hasn't been as much a concern as repairing old framing and tin work but I do feel your pain of cutting new holes. Young Lady you do an excellent job being precise and then carefully caulking the area to prevent leaks or damage, fear not you are more capable then you give yourself credit for. I have faith in you! Thank You again for the journey and sharing your build. With Love and Respect, You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

[@soloelisa]

Thank you very much for such nice comment! :)

[@petervandergugten]

Hello Alisa It's sometimes not easy to find the right place for certain devices I thought the place you used was the right decision You must be able to instal cameras or have a lot of patience So it is good that you have had it done by a specialist Look forward to your nex video and keep it up Have FUN and be SAVE

[@karlobluesman]

doing a great job Elisa. been there myself cutting a hole too small ended up using a file which is a pain to do. i see you have realized how difficult it is build a camper from an empty shell. keep your spirits up! it comes on a lot quicker once you have all basic essentials done.

[@andrewsimpson669]

I'm loving your videos, Elisa. There is so much difference to different countries. Here in Australia, a licenced electrician has to connect 240 v mains power.

[@soloelisa]

🫢

[@andrewsimpson669]

@@soloelisa ha! 😜

[@toddcarter5404]

I would’ve put a seal or gasket like rubber as you pushed the receptacle against the outside van wall.

[@soloelisa]

It has a rubber gasket

[@markmanning5683]

Paint the exposed Hole for avoid Rust. It will rust quickly from moisture of any type.

[@marcmckenna4956]

Great work Elisa, really enjoying your videos. Hope you get your new home complete by the end of May.

[@johnsteel3217]

Good luck with the van you are doing a great job, its all in the details and you are certainly following them, God Bless x

[@paulchism2333]

Excellent Job at the end of your build smile and enjoy your hard work

[@tcflame63]

So far, so good. You're doing a great job!

[@Salsadepr40]

Elisa, something you should think about in the future. Having a permanent ladder on the side of your Van is a potential possibility for someone with bad intention to climb up on your Van and try to still your Solar Panels while you may be out of reach from your Van. Not that it could happen, but with all the bad thing that are going around the state, it may be possible. Always keep you outside stationary secure and out of reach. You are doing and awesome job. 👍👌

[@tonyhawk123]

This crosses my mind too. Wonder what security could be added to help prevent access to the roof (assuming a fixed ladder, as in this case).

[@paulordy321]

Hi, I feel like buying a van too, & kitting it out. You have a beautiful voice. Take care & keep up the good work.

[@ibrahimbek2804]

Thank you
