May I suggest that you leave a window (of some sort) in the door so that you do not have a blind spot when opening the door, such as when you get a knock after dark. I would paint the window trim orange to go with the orange on the RV.

[@richelleneville974]

The door is beautiful! Put a stain glass window in the window instead of the one that you have now. And make a wooden window trim. You guys did a great job. It looks awesome. I can’t wait to see your next video. 💛😊

[@nannuartworks5812]

I am a stained glass artist. You can't toss any stained glass panel in the window it needs to be made with lead came and renforced to maintain it's shape. I would still put a sheet of lexan over it just to protect it from road debris and the like.

[@arlenesolis024]

@@nannuartworks5812 that’s a great idea …with a little clementine design.

[@fredkeller3813]

YES! My wife and I thought a stained glass window with colors that complement the outside of your RV, glass that is obscured so it gives you your privacy yet let's in light. But we thought with a chrome frame around the window which would match all the other Chrome trim. ❤️❤️ Great job on the door. We are impressed!

[@Theendlessadventure]

That's a lovely idea!! We're so done with the black/purple window...having some fun light coming through would be a nice touch :)

[@nannuartworks5812]

@@Theendlessadventure I am in PA I would love to work with you on this. Just let me know if you would like to work together.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

That is most likely a Texas Hill Country Ringtail, which is not a lemur but a member of the raccoon family. They look super cute too.

[@j.gravett2878]

Whew! I was thinking....lemurs in Texas? They only exist in some country, like Madagascar!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Ya...we didn't realize there were two types of ringtails, oops! Definitely a ringtail cat 😅

[@NyreeAlana]

Thanks! I just Googled them, OMG so cute! 😍

[@jh48167]

I would take a piece of the old door into a paint shop and have them mix exterior paint that exactly matches the off white and repaint the door. Also, get a couple of pints of paint that exactly match Clemmie’s racing stripes and paint those in. Paint works wonders. The interior of the door looks fine in wood stain.

[@mikemanjo2458]

YES. I think that would look much better.

[@MsKLMadison]

My spouse worked in RV service, repair & maintenance, he shares the concerns about you beautiful new door. He suggests trying these kind of fasteners that could give you the stability you may need: Interior Binding Post screws - place two on each slat, two lined up all the way down. Love your channel, see ya on the road!!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks for the concern and suggestion! We definitely have some thinking to do on this one 😅

[@MimsieSky]

I think I would paint the window frame with the similar orange color to the stripes. Might help it look more cohesive? Also maybe continue the stripes over the door? It looks great! I'm excited to see it all done!

[@mdduet]

Think I would have used screws to assist the bonding. The flexing constant movement of RV while traveling could cause a weakness over time. It does look good though.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks! Once we officially get all the fitting kinks worked out and get it installed, we'll definitely be keeping a close eye on things and for sure aren't above adding screws if necessary...

[@PlugInRides]

I would have used tongue & groove cedar flooring boards, for better sealing and greater structural strength. Just a thought.

[@oc1rob]

Looks great, but unfortunately I have my doubts as to the durability of the contact adhesive... Car companies use it to hold fabrics and trims in place for sure, but not panelwork. I would have gone with some form of Panel bond that comes in a caulking gun cartridge for that job...

[@larryepling]

I'd be worrying about wood contracting and expanding with changes in temperature in different regions of the US, plus all the vibration of the roads. I'd have to screw through into the frame. then fill and stain

[@larryepling]

@@camhabibi2217 yea, I dig the aesthetic they are going for but I worry about that door holding up and adding extra weight for sure

[@EarMaster55]

Given the fact that the outside paneling is the one that really matters they even could have attached to the frame using standard brackets while the inside was still accessible.

[@larryepling]

@@EarMaster55 I was thinking maybe some L brackets on the inside or even screws long enough to go through the metal frame at the back and not all the way through the wood front

[@BIGJED75]

I would be worried about someone just pulling the wood off and breaking in.

[@barber0611]

I kinda like the original window frame....it's like, that window frame belongs with the RV....y'all could use a cool looking frosted glass for privacy....maybe with your endless adventure graphic logo

[@katiehobbs96]

Y'all shpuld do a stain glass design for the window in a similar design as the door for the closet (the sun looking design). That way the oranges and yellows of the stained glass would complement the orange on the RV and the inside a lil bit

[@tracyrice2425]

I'm with others. Your gonna look in the sideview mirror and see it sail away! Suggestion from an old timer. Go ahead and countersink some short SS screws and plug the holes and seal them over. If you do it as meticulously as you have everything else, it will still look great and won't leak! Good Luck!

[@keithstamper3648]

Really nice job. However the contact adhesive will not hold up over time. Also, anyone wanting to enter your camper can easily pry the panels off with a screw driver. I would drill and contersink screws into the wood then fit wooden plugs. Once sanded smooth it will be fine and very strong.

[@thomascochrane3100]

The door is awesome, but I get why you're a bit dubious if it sticks out too much, in comparison to the rest of the RV. Top tip; If you use the existing stripes that are on the body of the RV, you can continue them onto the door itself, except you wouldn't use the RV colours of red and yellow necessarily. You could use a dark wood stain to continue the stripes, or maybe some aged metal effect that matches the stripe pattern, but also compliments the door itself. Either way, by continuing the stripes effect in what way you choose, you will blend the door in a bit better.

[@pennyh3101]

wooohooooooooo.. so happy to see the Beans with you guys.... excited .... oh.. great job on the door.. maybe could add some thin piece of wood near the edges that will look like a border ....

[@angiec1222]

You guys did an amazing job. I agree with putting screws in and wood pieces to hide them. Regaurdless I'm glad I found your video.I need a new door and I needed some ideas on how to make one. Thanks for sharging!! I'm gonna go and watch your other videos.

[@rondonnis6588]

I love watching you pair. Two people without anything to prove are a joy to watch and always themselves and that's why people love to watch you. Shame that covid came along to almost end your endless adventure but hopefully we will see you two in Europe one day. hoping you will come to North Wales again!

[@Theendlessadventure]

We're so happy to have you along for the adventures! We definitely hope to make it back to Wales again one day 🤞

[@dianepoirier9260]

I love all your videos. Started watching during covid. I believe we’ve seen them all. You’re both so funny. You’re my favourites You’ve done an amazing job renovating the camper. It’s so cute. Enjoy watching you figure out how to do everything, and learning as you go along. Everything you’ve done looks great! We sold our travel trailer this fall. Missing it. We always look forward to your next project or adventure. Please keep them coming.

[@rhondapeace3957]

Lol! @ 1:21 I thought you were going to use their deck for the wood 🤣

[@MacTravellers]

I'm always reluctant to use wood for something like this that's going to see so much moisture. Hope it works out!

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Hi!!👋😊...you have Lemurs there! I had no idea. How cool? You guys have your own ideas. You have to live in it. Do what you like, not what the viewers say!

Enjoying watching the door project from El Salvador. Looks like it will be awesome!!

[@christine4670]

A ring tailed lemur🥰 And the door looks awesome👌

[@sacaircooled]

Hey Eric! The screw cover material you said was no longer available for your frame is available by the foot. I have purchased it here in Sacramento, CA. From allied trailer supply. Also if I were you I would paint that window frame black and call it a day! If you replace the window I would go with one that opens. I have seen them on Amazon of all places! Have a great day adventurers!

[@davidconley4]

Steve O @ Allied is the real deal. Love those guys at Allied. Been grabbing the parts I need for my '99 Hybrid I picked up last Aug.

[@Theendlessadventure]

We actually used that stuff for our windows, but didn't seem to find anything that fit the door channel. We'll definitely look again now that we're focusing on the door. Thanks for the tip!

[@TomLentz]

Looks great! Look up the Slim Shade window by AP products. Should be a drop in for that window. IMO it needs something where the trailer striping is to bring it together, but I don't know what.

[@Theendlessadventure]

I think we agree with you. It would definitely make the door feel more cohesive if the striping continued in some capacity. So many things to think through on this one 🙈

[@americanberran2527]

Great job with the door. You should change your name to the Endless Problem Solvers. Always impressive! So excited that you're joining back up with Travel Beans. I started watching them because of the previous time you spent together. You rock!

[@campingboy9213]

That's a solid door. A point, the window frame I think is installed reversed. Generally the screw heads are on the inside. I think there is a larger lips for the calk on the outside bezel.

[@n.frankliniii3699]

I think it would be cool if you two made some type of matching wooden accent pieces to cover the dents the tractor trailer made in the front and back of the RV.

[@r8edrv4fun65]

Wrap the wood/frame/wood edge with a protective metal (aluminum), attached to the end of each board on both sides or the outside boards and the frame.

[@Theendlessadventure]

We have been thinking about adding some sort of metal trim to keep the ends safe and help hold everything in place. We definitely need some time to think about this one and tinker around. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@hannayoung9657]

Ring-tailed' lemur and Ringtail two different animal. Lemur exist in Madagascar and Ringtails are related to racoons and lives in North America.

[@mikemanjo2458]

I had no idea these beautiful creatures were native to North America. Thanks for the info!❤️Jane

[@yoselinsoto666]

That’s a cute door, be proud guys

[@marcywilson6805]

Maybe you should go with a different color frame around the window. have it match the orange or yellow stripes on the camper

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hi Adventures Really like the door can't wait to see what the rest of the Rv gets

[@OO-is9wn]

Could run adhesive caulking on the inside of the frame and cedar panels for extra strength.

[@cynthiarobertson1635]

Love watching all the upgrades you do. We have an RV and share the love/hate relationship you have with all the updates and changes that are required. We are impressed with the skill and quality you guys have demonstrated in the projects. Don’t be so hard on yourselves with the mistakes. They give you an opportunity for a story to tell in the future. You know one of those, “Remember when we did that …”. 🙂

[@paulamsptw2522]

Yay! I love the travel beans!

[@inthesun3884]

You could have used an epoxy wood putty/filler on that little lock corner. . I had to repair some wood trim in our bathroom - and I actually replaced a 2" missing piece of bead trim with it. Works great and you can paint or stain it.

[@inthesun3884]

Also for the window, what about having a faux stained glass picture of Clementine or the new car painted on it? Or have a stained glass artist make one. Or - make a captains "window" with a wood design like your sunburst? Maybe set it up so it can open and close - for more ventilation and it can double as a window pass through - most new RV's have a pass though in the screen door but having one in the wood door sounds fabulous!. I love all your fun ideas.

[@380.motorsports]

To avoid screws showing in the face of the wood you could have used a modern automotive panel bond adhesive rather than contact cement. Panel bond is now used to attach body panels to vehicles and is super strong. Once dried if you ever tried to remove the wood it would likely be destroyed before it came loose. So a pretty permanent adhesive.

[@TheMTandMe]

Nice door!...and we will no doubt be borrowing a few of your ideas, since we have to build one for our Pearl! We're working on designing a "dutch" door, with the separate top and bottom halves. We've seen vids of some RVs in the UK that have them!

[@kathywalsh9312]

Your door is FABULOUS!!!

[@MrDoodlebug68018]

Love your door, you guys did a great job and leave your window so if someone's knocking you'll see them from the inside with your dark tinted window I don't think they'll be able to see you. Can't wait till you're back on the road looking for your next adventure! 💕

[@belindadavies8683]

It looks amazing ❤️

[@kst357]

The window can be painted or modified to look better, so that's no big deal. Maybe you can find some imitation cedar or wood laminate to cover the door frame. The bottom line is that you did a good job building a solid frame with good bones it can be redone or changed whenever you want. It's as good a first attempt as any. When you get your next YT check you should seriously reconsider getting Clementine a nice power canopy. Maybe you don't like the aesthetics but if you mount it across the roof line it won't look bad & being able to lounge outside protected from the rain & sun is worth it. Clementine looks under-dressed without one. They're standard equipment on every classy RV.

[@j.gravett2878]

Excited to see you two with The Beans! Gotta get crazy!!!

[@1cosmocat]

It does look good.

[@samlipsit517]

Maybe you guys can use the covers that are used to cover electrical wire when it is run on the outside of the walls inside homes.

[@moragellis3040]

I think the door would look significantly better if you paint the window frame to silver. You could also paint your logo on the glass.

[@HerSoulVacation]

This is definitely a project I must tackle myself as well so thank you for the ideas! The door looks like an improvement to your beautiful tiny home!
