We Built a Hidden “Pop-Up" Outdoor Grill INTO THE RV! - Our Favorite Project Yet 😍

[@wanyangchen9784]

Whenever I feel burnt out from work, I come and watch one of your videos to relax for 10 mins. Thank you for the content.

[@lmaree200886]

I’m gonna put together some of the things that others have suggested: * Protect the wood underneath by using a silicone or rubber mat from a bbq store. * Use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the bbq for the coals to keep it clean. * That section is gonna need to be sealed up from underneath with a plate of steel or it’s gonna get dirt and rocks inside. * Grill needs to be secured for travelling or it’s gonna vibrate and jump around while driving.

[@Karen.cook424]

The grill slide looks AMAZING guys! How about using a grill mat under the grill to deflect the heat? They come in pretty big sheets and you cut to fit whatever area you need. They are usually used on top of the actual grill grates of gas grills so for what you’re using them for would work great! They have black and a copper color. 👍🏻

[@martinscott-reed5379]

I was about to suggest the very same thing.

[@tanya334]

Me too 😄

[@raymondherbst7126]

A nice cut to fit stainless sheeting will arrest any concerns over heat as well as easy cleaning.

[@paige6028]

Great minds think alike.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks for the suggestion!!

[@junellshue1543]

Add a heat resistant grill mat under the grill to solve the heat issues with the grill over the pretty wood shelf ☺️

[@yetti399]

Just a silicone cookie tray mat would work

[@lmaree200886]

I was just thinking of the same thing!

[@jzakary1]

I agree! Just put a silicone mat underneath, and you're good to go.

[@csherwoodb]

Same thought

[@thechellenator]

Was just coming here to say this! Silicone baking sheet mats are cheap on Amazon and come in a billion colours and can be cut to size (in case something about the grill platform dimensions requires buying two and trimming them) and glued down. They would work perfectly!

[@snuglyfluff6969]

That little girl is amazingly cute! She is so glad to be out with all of you for dino day :)

[@Theendlessadventure]

She had the BEST time! So many life-size dinosaurs. It was so much fun to experience it with her 😍

[@petercolquhoun2086]

You might need a bottom for that compartment to keep road spray of the wood. It won't last long unprotected.

[@louismorrone3102]

And rodents!

[@madoan76133]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@raymondherbst7126]

It does have a bottom that when slid in seals it from road dust & water.

[@cadifan]

@@raymondherbst7126 No, the fact that it pulls out means it won't seal, the compartment needs a floor.

[@rev9fan1]

100% agree, I would say wood with aluminum panel to match what's under it, then seal it, then screw it down and seal the outside...water spray finds a way!

[@johnstuart8511]

Good work "Team Adventure". The griller is only big enough for 2 meals. But it looks Far Out fantastic.

[@kevinfleming9919]

The charcoal grill is cool but you also have to worry about embers blowing out in a wind and RV spots that won't let you use them for fire concerns. You already have propane in the RV so you could run a line to a propane grill easily, or use a Coleman classic style portable grill or the newer "tabletop" grill, both of which are designed not to overheat the surface they sit on, or a "Mr Bar-B-Q Portable LP Gas Grill" has the look kind of like the charcoal one you have now. You can hook up to your propane line, or use a 20 lb tank, or the 1 lb small bottles. You will also save on having to buy and store dirty charcoal, and waiting for it to cool down/go out and finding a way to dispose of the ashes!

[@Saskyoilfan]

Every RV needs an awning, Like I said in the earlier videos It will provide shade and cover from rain, allow you to get even more use from your rv 👍

[@stevenkovacs2766]

Ya in a perfect world the arm would be behind the compartment they just made but they might have to squeeze it into that space between the entry door and the compartment.

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?

[@kerrymathers7439]

Use a "Router" to cut some grooves in the base to locate the feet of the grill. It will lower it for clearance AND prevent it sliding around when travelling.

[@kenandcoreen7179]

Happy Belated Birthday Eric! You guys - that looks amazing. I was saying to my husband, look how far you guys have come since you started the RV project. You should really be proud of yourselves. - Coreen

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks so much!! We're so happy to be moving on to fun, creative projects and not just building out necessary things 🙌

[@JR-ju9il]

You could use the forstner bit to make indents in your table top for the grill legs to sit in if it’s only a 1/4” off. Those would also make the grill more stable on the table top.

[@thomaslower5375]

[@karenlindsay1123]

Hi guys we have been binge watching your adventures, you guys are so awesome. We live in Tasmania Australia, would love you to pop down here for the ultimate Aussie adventure. Pop in and we will throw a few shrimps on the barbecue. Keep travelling. Steve and Karen

[@Andrea-kx1mj]

The nomad grill has insolation to avoid burning what it’s sitting on. I don’t know if it would fit. Cute little pull out. I would put a bottom below the shelf to avoid all the road grime going on you countertop.

[@yoyojoe9240]

Water PROOF, waterTight, Noise Proof, Smell Proof, Critter Proof?!?, I really enjoy you Two's ENERGY...!!

[@delukxy]

You're going to get a lot of road dirt in the box being as it's behind the wheels, especially when it rains. Line the box with Reflectix from Menards or Home Depot. Are you going to clamp the BBQ feet down?

[@GraceSerenityK]

I'd suggest putting a base of sheet metal under the grill, to reflect and spread the heat. It won't look as nice as the stain, but it should keep the wood from scorching

[@2Travelis2Live]

Your RV looks SO nice. I love that grill. I don't know who thought of the little flaps, but it was a genius idea. Great video. Thank you!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks, Marcia! I believe the flaps were an Eric idea...he's been planning this build out for so long that I can't remember how/when we started coming up with all the details 🤪

[@SetCCC]

I started watching you guys about 4 years ago through a video you did with Kara, Nate, Ashley and her husband. You're the only ones I still watch. You're so genuine, funny and down to earth . Thank you for all of your content!

[@deborahashaw6044]

Happy Birthday Young Man!! Enjoy, your day!!! ❤️❤️

[@einzgeisha]

that was a neat creation! I think you guys are my birth year 1986, so it's okay and Happy Birthday!!!

[@Maniac618]

Happy Birthday I'm guessing 35. I'd also like to say I think this creation is actually the best so far in the RV renovation / modifications.

[@lmaree200886]

No idea why he’s upset being 36! Getting older shows more knowledge and wisdom in life. They are a year apart, Eric’s an 86 bub and he’s five months older than myself! 😁

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks so much, Christopher!! 🥰

[@ThatOneLazyNerd]

Put a plate of aluminum under the grill to protect the wood. That might help since you gotta shorten the legs for it to fit.

[@joshr9417]

No, if you look they took the handle off the top, they could have just shortened the handle.

[@ThatOneLazyNerd]

@@joshr9417 I did notice that. But the aluminum plate under the grill on top of the wood will make it so they can still use coal and not catch it on fire.

[@Alun49]

I am so relieved to see Eric made some silly mistakes! It makes me feel a little less embarrassed at my own failures when I try stuff like this! Seriously though, my admiration for both of you on this project is enormous. Glad to see you out on the road!!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks so much! We always debate whether or not to show the mistakes (because there are usually a few 😅) but we're super glad when it helps others out. If/when you make mistakes, you're definitely in good company 😊

[@christogibbs6662]

Having a few clay tiles under your grill will help with the heat.

[@FurnitureFan]

I guess the lesson here is to leave loads of space under the grill for extra layers 😉

[@Banagal]

Looks like a good plan. Metal may be a safer option. You got this! Can't wait to see your first BBQ.

[@loniallorenz2009]

There is nothing hotter than a redhead in an all black outifit ! That is not a double entendre, I married one and can assure you that after 50 plus years of wedded bliss she avoids black outifits at all costs. Love you guys ❤️ ❗️ Al from Loni & Al

[@marieneu264]

Awww! I love it! I can tell it was a LOT of work, but it looks like it was so worth it! Good job friends! ❤️

[@travelertrome8449]

Happy Birthday Eric! Birds Nests are good luck in many cultures! Good sign for Clementine! Well done on the grill setup. You guys amaze me!!

[@MsRaindropps]

Happy birthday Eric! That grill addition looks great. Clementine is one awesome RV!

[@rebeccaastle7237]

I think the whole point of bbq is the charcoal coals and wood chips making food taste good🙂 What about using a baking tray or a sheet of stainless steel under the grill , I also put foil inside the grill for the lining which also helps when throwing out cooked off charcoal 🙂

[@jessicamichelle8933]

Great job you two! For the grill heat issue, might want to consider a heat resistant mat or some sort of metal heat shield underneath the grill. Also, pro tip: make sure you clean that grill really well or else you could attract a bunch of critters. As always, thanks for sharing in your adventures. Ya'll are my favorite travel KZbinrs! :) Been along for the ride since well before 100k.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Holy moly! You've been all over the world and on the longest RV build ever with us 🤣 So happy to have you along for the adventures! And great tip about the grill...it's a perfect critter hole 😅

[@monroe2245]

Hey, to countersink, reverse your drill. It'll help prevent going too deep and blowing out the hole...

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hi Eric and Allison what's going on Great to see you both the grill is a bonus deal way to go I'd drill a few holes in the front to attach the handle to raise the top the grill stand is a great deal you added Super deal ( Happy Birthday Eric tomorrow )

[@BenjaminKlahn]

@16:00 just put a bit of metal as a heat shield... You should have a metal tray there anyways, to catch embers.

[@SweetHopeCookies]

To be fair to the birds, that little opening in the hatch was like a written invitation to build a home there. And why not just put a Teflon mat on the table under the grill? It will add a more grippy stability for the grill and protect the wood from the heat.

[@CampingwithEmmy]

Love your pull out grill! You guys did an amazing job!

[@shelaghjackson9577]

That grill station is brilliant! 🥩🥓🍳 Well done....again!

[@mikemanjo2458]

Put one of your Endless Adventure decals over the dent in the door...no one will ever notice. Great work on the slide and grill! Y’all are amazing! Love and prayers from SC, Jane❤️🙏🏻

[@peterjohndormor8173]

Quality job on the creation of your grill. I truly love the mini shelfs for the plates.

[@jt.s.7418]

Don't shorten the legs. Simply shorten the handle 👌. Happy birthday Eric. I love the grill cubby!🥰

[@maever8971]

Oww little birds nest, so cute! ... the birds around my place just drop off their eggs on the floor of my balcony like I'm running a pigeon orphanage 😅

[@FurnitureFan]

My friend uses a fake owl that she got in a garden centre. It worked for one summer.

[@stevenkovacs2766]

Add another vote to making an aluminum floor to go under the compartment. It will keep the lift out mechanism in so much nicer condition. Plus l would consider a stop so the door doesn't swing all the way down. If you make it stop at 90 degrees it makes another work bench/stand/table if you leave the BBQ shelf in the compartment. Or even under the BBQ table when it's pulled out and raised into position. Plus if the door were to come open on the road it wouldn't be swinging freely to get damaged or try to pull the frame out of the RV. Nice work in any event.

[@claudiav4416]

Happy Birthday Eric! The grill addition looks awesome, great job you two!

[@dragonmac1234]

Happy birthday Eric, you did tell us in a previous video how old you are. Don't worry you have a long way to go to reach my almost 60 years. The grill looks good, it wouldn't be an Endless Adventure project without a few snags along the way :)

[@KindCreature1]

In the 70's, I remember using hammer and nails putting a little frame together, which brought out some 'colorful metaphors'. What a dream today's technology is!!

[@lenmeachen7937]

Hi I don't if you have kitchen foil in the USA. But if you do put at the bottom of the grill before you put the charcoal in and it will help with your heat problem plus it help with the cleaning you can just rap the old charcoal up in it and start afresh.

[@lmaree200886]

They certainly do have aluminium foil in the US (they skip one of the I’s😄), that’s a good idea!

[@roseanneberrios7174]

You could put a fire proof sheet under your grill. That should help. I've seem them at stores that sell only BBQs.

[@juliemac5604]

I think you want a floor on the bottom of that old generator space. The road dirt is going to get that lovely shelf system SUPER dirty!

[@Jacqueline-cd3hy]

Great job, guys!! I love the grill! It looks so cute. 🙂

[@Naedlj]

I have the flu and strep and this is perfect to take my mind off of it for a little bit! Always so happy to see y’all upload!

[@Theendlessadventure]

So sorry to hear that! Hope you're feeling better 🙏

[@TheBigMackTruck]

You guys rock I’ve been doing construction for 15 years and you guys do such good work and figure things out and work together so well you guys should be proud of your self and you guys always comment on the little imperfections you do better work then people doing it for a living 👍🏻🙂

[@Theendlessadventure]

Holy cow, thank you! We're really trying to get better at thinking through projects and planning far in advance - it cuts down on so much confusion and miscommunication when we start filming. It's definitely not always easy to work together, but I think our many years of marriage really helped prepare us 😅

[@JustinBrehm]

When I start to get bored a notification comes up and saves me from the Endless Adventure. That bird worked fast damn. Can't wait to enjoy thanks for another video

[@jzakary1]

I love all your RV related episodes! You could turn this channel into the Endless RV Maintenance & Upgrade Show. 😉❤

[@Theendlessadventure]

Haha, love it! And at our renovation rate, we'll likely need to upgrade everything before we ever get on the road, so your wish may come true! 🤪

[@mattbuchanan9024]

I used spray flexseal in my vans generator compartment to make it look better and waterproof it. Worked well.

[@robertwhite9898]

Happy b day Eric ! 🎁🎉🎊🎈🎂. I like that outdoor grill that is alwasome ! Outstanding job on the entire rebuild

[@debbiewynne8108]

Happy Birthday to Eric 🥳 I'm loving the grill, ingenious! Maybe a heat resistant mat under would protect the wood, it looks so good though 👌

[@MyBackyardScience]

Nice project! Outdoor cooking is going to make your life on the road soon much better 😋

[@mattsullivan830]

If you add a heat shield under the grill, it should take care of the temp. A piece of aluminum raised off the wood shelf by about an inch with spacers should do it. Good luck. It looks great

[@gracebeattie3815]

You could always put a sheet of that black bbq mats under the bbq. I actually put it in my oven to keep the bottom clean instead of foil. Love the flaps good job!!

[@caddyzig]

Happy birthday, Eric! The BBQ project looks great. Propane might be easier since you wouldn’t have to store briquettes. I wonder if you could attach the original door skin to the new door somehow so it blends in.

[@stephaniemomof9746]

The grill looks great! Have a great birthday Eric!

[@caseyjones94]

You guys' ingenuity with the van and now the grill is outstanding. Well done. 👏👏👏

[@vickident5762]

My favourite addition to your van! Just pop a floor tile under the BBQ. Love it!

[@melanieshirkey5276]

Happy Birthday Eric! Your grill looks perfect!

Thanks!

[@Garciares04]

Keep up the great work

[@tadah98]

Put a large tile underneath the grill it will deflect the heat…. It’s really cute love you two!!!

[@scousemummy8856]

Yous are my fave KZbin couple ever been here for years and I still get excited to see yous and clementine of course 🥰

[@Theendlessadventure]

❤️❤️ Aww, thank you!! We're so happy to have you adventuring with us (and Clementine)!

[@petermiddo]

The door is going to get dinging in carparks and just general driving around. Don't sweat the small stuff.

[@MacTravellers]

This is great, extending your living space outside is the way go.

[@robshader5491]

Well done! You guys are awesome! :)

[@ViewMelo]

Thought; Maybe place stickers from your adventures over the metal panel? Over years it will look unique and awsome! Grill looks great! Enjoy it!

[@inthesun3884]

We have an outdoor kitchen in our 2014 camper and the faucet cracked at some point - ruining the wood and laminate. So we need to replace it. We've been watching videos for ideas and while I like some of what others have done, yours is much prettier and more functional with your amazing last minute shelves. Love it! You two are so creative and I love your incredibly beautiful design ideas. Recycling these vintage vehicles is clearly a great way to go!

[@kenmatthews6476]

Looks good. I would stick with the charcoal grill but place a grilling mat to protect the bottom wood from the hear. You are good.

[@aerosailor1979]

Buy some metal diamond plate sheet and line that interior box, using construction adhesive would work with some screws. Also add a sheet of it under the grill itself to protect the wood. Good luck.

[@raymondherbst7126]

Nice adaptation of the generator space for a grill. Charcoal is very nice. LP grills or griddles can be easily adapted if preferred later on.

[@steveseifertsr.8120]

Go to Walmart or a hardware store and buy a grate just big enuff to fit,but hold the charcoal off the bottom of the grill. Or make your own out of aluminum angle and heavy duty 1/2" square hardware cloth. Either method will move the charcoal off the bottom of the grill,plus will make the grill last longer because you're not directly heating the bottom of the grill!!

[@lisamcgrath3132]

Love this guys!!!! Have you thought about putting some aluminum under the grill for the heat?🤗

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 Lisa, how are you doing?

[@TheBerteh]

You could try gluing some ceramic tiles under the grill to protect the wood. Nice build though :)

[@Stephrp613]

you could get a decal of clementines for that bbq grill door!!

[@LODOG419]

Oh Glorious Sanding!!!!!! IYKYK

[@maryalgaway1031]

Consider removing and reattaching the grill handle to the frontal part of the grill?

[@cheryl63...]

Nice design! I love the side tables!

[@julieschommer1644]

So with the grill and tight fit business, what happens with hot weather and the wood expanding?

[@rossm7071]

I absolutely love this channel. You both are so hilarious yet very practical in your videos. I envy the great job you did with Clementine. From a fellow Missourian, cheers and look forward to your next adventure

[@EscapeToExploreTravel]

A nice summers evening, parked up with some amazing views, bbq on the go and some drinks. Sounds like the dream 😍

[@kingsamoanOG]

If its not the Mice and Raccoons its the birds!!! Lol thats funny love the new BBQ spot

[@hankster9940]

Old Bay, back here we put the on everything. Try it on eggs in the morning! So no genny, no off grid AC. You night be able to get one of those harbor fright predators that you could hang off your bumper. Cheers

[@Rickmakes]

A metal shield on the bottom should reflect quite a bit of heat away. You could probably buy a large sheet pan and cut it to size.

[@MrsJMatthews]

If you are thinking of switching to a propane/gas grill the Weber Q1000 is great. Not sure what you have for width, but it 14.5"H x 27"W x 16.5"D.

[@Aplla13]

Super proud of the grill layout!

[@jj-if6it]

That's one nice looking BBQ. Guys don't worry about the aluminium, you don't need to put wood paneling on everything 😂 Sometimes the plain RV or metal is perfectly fine.

[@user-ks6wm7em9c]

That looks so good, great job guys, Maybe you can put a silicone mat under the BBQ to protect the wood.

[@carlalayne3942]

You guys had me smiling all the way through this video..

[@sarah-phillips]

Happy Birthday Eric! Hey, you're the same age as my little brother so you're still a young'en to me. Yay for the custom RV grill! Add a packet of soaked wood chunks to the grill and you can have a makeshift smoker.

[@vidukakewell]

You guys should look at the Heston Everdure Cube grill as a an option. You still get the joy of charcoal but without the heat issues.

[@shadowess1961]

It looks amazing. Maybe put tile under the grill so it doesn't burn the wood. It looks great though!

[@SoxRoxBoston]

I'm totally impressed by your ability to adapt with projects in each video. Even when you have a solid plan if something isn't perfect you come up with a solution Happy BDAY Eric 🎂🎊🎉

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks for the bday wishes and the super kind comment 😊
