Oh yes i love this door feature of your U haul RV truck. I think this is the greatest selling point. 😊

You are becoming, if not the master of the passthrough. Awesome.

I have no idea how doable this is for as beginner level as I am but maybe! Very inspiring video. Seems like it was very thought through.

I have stressed out big-time trying to come up with a legitimate design for a U-Haul pass-through and never even thought of using a door like this! I did come up with a pretty good idea using pipe insulation on a PVC frame that can float as the seal and then just use a curtain Because the idea of creating a lip for the accordion seal like you did cross my mind but I just didn't see it as feasible and too much work but I guess compared to the other options it's a damn good idea! Another thing to keep in mind is that All of that needs to be sealed up like the world depends on it with silicone because if you start getting moisture into that plywood between the metal sheets that makes up the box walls you will essentially destroy the entire build when that wood rots.

Good shit. I thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial video. Thanks buddy.

I'm so glad I found your channel! I was thinking of converting an old uhaul. ❤

Thanks, I was looking for information on a pass though. I did learn a lot, however I would the wall cuts individually.

Is this the love child of Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Goldblum?? Great video.

1) He paneled the inside wall of the box BEFORE cutting out and installing the door. 2) 0:35 There is a gap of about 5” between the box and front cab. 3) 1:03 He bought the 22” wide X 42” tall Lippert RV door off of eBay. 4) 1:49 Buy “Accordian Boot” from eBay, etc. to fill that gap. This has two metal clips that run along each edge. 5) 2:09 Trace door on cardboard for template with marker. 6) 3:01 Center template on wall and scribe line. 7) Drill pilot hole through BOTH so I can start cutting with Sawsal. 8) 8:01 Sawsall blade is 9” and rated for “wood with nails.” It can cut through BOTH walls at the same time. He suggests using two NEW blades. 9) 8:54 Tape along outside perimeter of line to protect the good edge. 10) 10:34 Cut out FRP frame using the same cardboard template for the door. Cut it so that it is about 27” wide X 48” tall. That’s about 3” wider and taller than the opening. 11) 11:56 He glued the FRP using ‘Loctite Powergrab All Purpise’ and self tapping screws about every 8”. 12) Install door. 13) 13:22 The boot clips on the edge of the installed FRP panel and the edge of the door. 14) 13:38 Start boot off center so if you step on it it doesn’t mess it up. 15)

Best instructed video for that purpose,thank you.

Cool video and tips. You got that Tony Stark look with the beard, "Ironman"..

What a phenomenal video, this was one part that was causing an issue for me, I'm gonna do it just like that and it's gonna be great, thank you!

It's probably good that you're doing this as the first thing you do.

Super cool 😎...

This is awesome 👍🏾

Nice work. Your video and instructions were really clear. I would worry that the initial hole may not line up perfectly with the cab spot if your angle was a bit off as you go through the box. Maybe a pilot hole the same size as the centre drill would help guide it to the exact spot. Maybe I’m being overly paranoid but I would hate to screw this important cut up.

Keep striving

Nicely done, Brad! 😊

Pretty nice. Good idea to use an RV door. Would it be possible to put the lock in the other side? Also the FRB was clever. I’ve seen other methods and this looks nicer.

I plan on doing something Similar to a 10 foot box truck, but add shelves and a right hand drive kit and use for rural postal carry.

Great instructional video Brad

🇺🇲🇺🇦 Ok first I'd like to say this was the first time I have come across one of your videos and it was awesome, but: 1 - for a less adept self doer as myself I wish you had included the How to cut, place & attach FPR Board. 2 - I would of liked to have seen the finished doorway with the door open and closed from the front of the cab. 3 - As an FYI, placing the seam of the boot closer toward the door hinge side of the opening would I think, better keep the boot safe from being stepped on. Again awesome vid and thanks so much for putting it out there especially for us paint by the number types. 🤪 🙏☮🙏 Ps - In the cab loved seeing your doggie-dog in his/her bed. He/she is very beautiful!

well done. nice breakdown.

Excellent video

Brad, a couple questions, please… 1) After installing the FRP frame, does it extend past the door opening about 1” all the way around? 2) To keep the boot in place forever, would it help to apply contact cement to the boot and the edge of the FRP frame it attaches to? 3) Should I order a boot for a 5” wide gap? Thanks!🤙🏼

Great job buddy

Love your stuff man. I can't wait till your at 500k subs. I'm guessing only a build or two away. If not, maybe try jumping out of a plane with only a cordless drill and a fan flade in the chuck. Is the cab loud as fuch with just the rubber gromet in place? I'm talking on the interstate. Keep up the great fun!!

i remember years ago on a move - think it was a ryder - but was the bigger 26 footer? and it had the pass through door. I thought these early 2000 15 footers were also like that but i see they are just like the new ones - separate crappy fiberglass cab back with the gap.

Nomad brad why don’t you do a complete build on a box truck series?

Bro when it comes to your electric system could you please go in depth and try to easily explain it. I just bought an old fedex step van and I’m currently saving up to convert mine. I’m only 20 and have veryyyyy little electrical work outside of school. I’m pretty sure I can figure everything else out but the electrical and solar shit makes me nervous. Love the vid btw

Just like a RV window or a roof of a car or summer just like it but a little bit bigger a lot bigger a doorway, same thing

Nomad Brad, thanks for the great video! Any suggestions on how to do something like this when the box truck has a window spanning the back wall of the cab?

With the expenses of apartments getting really exspensive in MD I kinda am going to be doing something like this so in cases if people get on my nerves I can takey house with me lol how much does this kind of thing cost

Very cool! One of the best pass-through ideas I have seen. How did you work around the interior portion of the lock being on the cab side where it can be unlocked easily by an intruder? Thanks.

great stuff! Would it be possible to somehow insert a sliding door in that area? Insulation will become an issue of course, and connecting the cordeon. But maybe there is a way?

How did you seal the accordion from the outside (between cabin and the box)? Now when it rains, the water stays on top of that accordion boot and might get inside the plywood wall.

Could I still have use of that third jumper seat? Like does it bend forward in half or…? Love this but I need three seats. :)

I love the door. I've been looking for it from Lippert online referencing the numbers on the sticker you showed. I can't seem to find it yet. Where did you purchase it?

Would there be any reason to install a door in the cab and another door in the box? I'm thinking two doors would make it quieter so anything rattling in the box would not be heard.

Thank you for muting the Sawzall.

As any space inhabited by a human being, there is the possibility of an EMERGENCY, for example a FIRE, or an accident, or whatever, the situation REQUIRES 2 ESCAPE ROUTES, one at the back door and a second one at the front. JUST BASIC SAFETY !

yo quiero uno asi

could a person make an opening the entire width of the cab or would that take away too much stability?

Ive considered doing this on my truck many times but my motor is directly below the cab so I imagine a huge increase in motor and road noise if I were to do this leading to fatigue on long trips. Did you notice a lot more noise while driving after? It would be more difficult but putting the door on the cab side would have helped.

how did you get the seat off, i been twisting the bolt with a wrench and it aint going no where just keeps spinning

Hey Brad, I can't find any videos on making a door from the Crew Cab back to the flat bed. Would it be the same as a box truck?

Is this a purpose pass-through door? Because the door’s key side should be on the cab side (not on the box side).

I got a 2006 3500 chevy box truck, I've been wanting to convert our box but idk where to start, where to go to get the right screws boards etc etc. I'd like to make half into home like look, carpet sofa or bed then the other half turn that into a tool box cuz my dude owns his selfmade 57years of successfully mechanic business, he wants to try mobile mechanic thing nd got the truck to turn into tool thing. (wanting the whole truck to be one but no, I'm putting a cozy space for me in it too lol. ) the whole interior needs a upgrade. can u do a video on a chevy box truck

Good afternoon.please provide the address wehere i can order a door for passage to the cabin Many thanks

how did you get the self-tapping screws drilled into place (mounting the FRP to ext. of cab) with there being such a small amount of space between cab and box to fit an impact driver or drill?

How could you do this in a cab with a wide back window?

I have a question what the name of the rubber or where you buy it Thanks

Hey Nomad Brad, how did you connect the accordion boot to the RV door aluminum step plate? This door I just got has no edge on the step like the rest of the frame.

where you bought the door and where you got the door package.

FRP Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic Not panel

Do you trust the aluminum to hold on the accordion boot? I feel like it will fall of some time, would it be safer to add a few screws?

How did you get the screws into the FRB, not much room to work!

How much do you charge for insulation, flooring and can access conversion?

Wow, that's exactly what I've been looking for but I went to the Lippart website and it doesn't look like they have that door anymore. Did you order it as a special size or something?

You know you could just tape the shoe of the sawzall and not tape the wall right?

Do you have an facebook page so I can send some pictures of my 28footer i would love your input and ideas on what I can do to make a sleeper thanks

Where to buy this door ???

Sorry. But, that is a crappy door because no matter how strong the metal is...... everything on Earth is only as strong as it's weakest part. The glass in the middle can be broken in 2 to 5 seconds and it's big enough for a small man to get through it. So, again sorry. But, you don't have a safe enough door installed, especially if you are away from your truck.

9:28 lol clown the trim is going to hid that cut. smh
