In this era of inked skin, duck lips, excessive face paint and spray on skintight clothing, your decency is indeed a breath of fresh air ! In top of this, you also exhibit signs of a fully functional cerebral cortex. You’ll be a blessing for the lucky guy that gets to marry you ! Take care and God bless you !

Impressive! It's so nice to see someone who wants to learn new things and apply them to such a challenging project. And, you do it all with a smile and a pleasant, positive attitude!

We aren't surprised. You've been doing a wonderful job. Love seeing you smile every time you complete the next steps. Keep up the great work.

You don't give yourself enough credit,that van build looks awesome,keep up the awesome videos.cheers.

Yes! A Sunday video from my favorite young lady!

I love how surprised you get when you get something to work. Love your determination. Keep on going, it’s looking really great 👍

For someone doing this for the first time and succeeding at it, I take my hat off to you 🥰

You are such a powerhouse of ambition and positivity. I'm pretty sure you could do anything you decided you wanted to do. Keep goin - great channel.

Additional support idea for your panel with magnets. If you add a track along the bottom for the panel to slide into that will/should help greatly in keeping the panel from bouncing or shaking loose from the magnets. If the panel is 50" long and 3/4" thick get an aluminum track 50. 1/8 " long by 7/8" wide with closed ends. This will allow for easy removal yet still insure the panel will not be able to "walk " while vibrations from driving occur. You can also add felt or something soft to the panel bottom or inside edge of the track to keep the panel from damage during any rubbing. Just an idea❤

You are just SO enjoyable to watch and listen too... your dialog is pleasant and calm. You openly share your uneasiness about doing new things, then forge ahead with patience and perseverance, despite being fearful of making a mistake. Your surprise when things actually work is endearing and fun. Lots of KUDOS to you for taking on the van conversion challenge... making amazing progress... and then taking the time to video, edit and share your efforts. So glad I happened across your channel!

The selfie stick really adds a new dynamic to your production value.

How did we ever get along before KZfaq tutorials? Once I forgot how to thread my sewing machine, after not using it for a long time. Sure enough, there was a little girl with a close-up tutorial, showing me how to thread my specific sewing machine model. Blew my mind.

Hello Elisa, your personality and spirit put a smile and warmed my heart I appreciate how you are building your Van because it will be your home, and the well-thought-out needs you are addressing with your comfort, security first and foremost with a style of impeccable taste.

Now you're getting the satisfaction of your work. Those little trips to test things out are the best way to know if things are working properly and as expected. By your smiles, id say things are going along just fine.

Have fun. Be safe out there. Please make safety and security a top priority for planning.

Well done Elisa, you are a real inspiration using your common sense and being able to figure things out by yourself. Before you go too much further and close in your interior roof. Turn a garden hose onto the roof of your van and check for water leaks. Do this a few times before you finish off the interior, You have done such a great job and it looks great.

I really love what you said about sharing and learning. It's really the sprit of KZfaq for me. Greetings from a fellow sharer 👍

Yep, I'm in love😊

Glad you pulled the trigger on the fans. Heat is the #1 enemy for electronics. I have fans in my entertainment center that is totally closed off for aesthetics, but I use a remote to turn them off and on when needed. Now you’ve helped me with the little thermostat hack, so thank you! I’m quietly cheering on your progress, keep up the excellent work.

You are SO INSPIRING watching you figure these things out! I'm so appreciative of your videos too, because they are a great source of information for me. Thank you!🙏🏼🌷

Glad to see you in the camping! You worked Hard, you deserve the Best.

I just love your spirit and your style you are an inspiration to all of us, thank you for all of your content,God Bless you.

It’s coming together nicely. Good idea on taking a break to see how your electrical and other stuff are working.

You are doing such a wonderful job on the van conversion. Great work!

EcoFlow has an Air conditioner & heater. It’s a much for Florida van camping. Hest foamy mattress is a great bed for your comfort sleeping solution.

I’m happy that your learning and challenging yourself through the process . It can be scary and overwhelming . Although doing it like you are , one step at a time , then before you know it it’s done . Trust me , this is one of your most rewarding experiences. The beauty lies in the journey not the destination. Looking forward to seeing it finished .

“Alligator, enjoying his day off”. Priceless!!! 😂.

Coming along well, Elisa. Your design work is far better than my own, I've got some DIY stuff on my channel but it's utilitarian, at best. I may redo some of mine and model after yours 😉

these videos are really encouraging me to build out a van. I always wanted to but never had to guts to give it a go.. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your progress in renovating your van! Most people don’t~ and it’s sooo cool to watch your creative process. So far, so GOOD!

Awesome, hope you have a wonderful weekend.👌👍👋

I admire your courage with the alligator. No thanks! You can take me there with your eyes and videos.

Great, love that you're using it as you build it! For the foot runner/step, cover it in skateboard covering. Its great for grip in the wettest conditions but also scraping mud off as well and washes easy. For the mattress, look to Koala or similar foam mattress. They're easy to cut (heated wire or even a sharp knife) and then can sew the cover and edges to remove the excess fabric.

Your doing terrific work to your van , I believe when anyone needs to no something we all just googled it and a you tube video always pops up to explain what your looking For 😮 ain’t that awesome 👏

I’m so very excited for you. I can see in your eyes and in the way you speak that you are like a child with a new toy; all giddy and sparkly! Go for it, Lady! The world is your oyster!! 😀😀😀

Matt Foley would be proud!

What a feel-good video this was, Elisa! So great to see you out staying in the van after all your hard work to make it ready and how you use the instructional videos to do the wiring! So impressive! Thanks, as always, for sharing your work with us--you are quite an inspiration to so many! Wishing you continued success with your plans!

I've really been enjoying the series on the build out. Well done with the electrical and especially getting the thermostat and fans working.

Me encanta la calma y la paz con la que trabajas y explicas lo que haces, tienes una voz muy relajante, inspiras mucha paz.

Gosh, ive binged all your videos since you bought the van. Youre doing so good. Your transition from novice to expert is progressing well. You WANT to build all your subsystems…so if theres a problem later on…then you know the layout, and you can troubleshoot it.

I'm probably not the only one here waiting with baited breath to see what's next. Just wonderful to see the events unfold on your van project!

I think people will be watching you for your van conversion tips and tricks for sure, your doing a great job. best wishes from Australia..

Explorist is a great resource, I utilized his videos early on in my build as well. I would recommend a power switch to turn the fan system off when you are not in the van, essentially to remove any potential for vampiric power loss of your battery system.

That’s fantastic! You got the thermostat to work! That looked complicated. I’m going to hire you to setup my electrical in my van!

You are sooooooo adorable OMG! Just watching you do your thang and seeing how thrilled you get over the smallest things! Only a quality low maintenence woman appreciates the small things! You're doing great! Within the next year, I want to be on the road too! ❤

Looks like the project is coming along nicely! It's good you take your time, put in everything the first time around so you don't have to go back and things apart. Look forward to seeing your progress. 👍

There are soooo many of these "van life" channels on KZfaq... Yet here I am. Mesmerizing.

Outstanding, I liked your joyful respone to your fans working. Don't you love it when a plan comes together?

Things are really coming along nicely Elisa, you are doing an amazing job. I have followed all your videos from the beginning and have particularly enjoyed the Van build, so much so you have inspired me to sell our travel trailer and start looking for a van to convert. I hope your channel keeps growing, you deserve it !!! Such a nice down to earth personality, certainly a pleasant change on YT these days.

Thanks for promoting van life chica! I can't wait to join the life for myself. Take care and be safe.

Been following the build, it's coming together and looking good. You should be proud, you've got a goal and your making it happen. Cheers!

I always enjoy watching your videos, you are just easy to watch never boring, and quite informative even as a ‘beginner’. I notice you taking advice from comments. Good stuff! Liked and subbed a while ago :) thanks for taking us along!!

Yes! I do the same and totally agree we learn from others. Awesome stuff you’re doing. The magnet and fan ideas are cool. 👍👍✌️

Awesome, job well done, there is a fabric for covering loudspeakers, charcoal in colour, that will also absorb sound that you can glue on with contact adhesive to the box .

Que gran satisfacción de tu parte al dar un gran paso en tu nuevo proyecto de vida. Exitos, eres un ejemplo de determinación. probablemente no leas los comentarios en español pero sinceramente admiro tu estilo de vida. sola y explotando cada dia tu potencial como persona. el encuentro con tigo misma😀🌻

I enjoy your videos lots of great information. I am from the west coast and rocky mountains. I have been to New Smyrna beach a number of years ago. Its a fantastic beach. Thanks again for your videos

Thank you for the video & don't worry you will get there. Just remember to take your time slowly but surely you'll have exactly what you're want & looking for. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

There you go Rosie the Riveter....💪😉...or the Badass Bolivian Beauty...enjoying the fruits of your labor taking it for a dry run down to the river. Nice! Keep up the good work and look forward to next video. Have a good week, be safe and blessed.

Wow. So excited for you. I do this kinda stuff. All my life. People always ask how do you know this. It’s taking a chance in learning how.and you feel so good. I see the excitement you had when your fans worked.. I was right there with you.. yes. Don’t ever doubt yourself anymore.. if something doesn’t work. Figure it out . Eventually it will. Blessings. Surge

You’re doing an excellent job. I really enjoy watching your videos. You’re definitely a hands-on lady.

You're doing a great job with your vlogging 👍 you are clearly quite bright and talented all 'round, I like your adventures 😊... I also live in a van, I know the ropes ! When in beautiful Florida, I like to hang out in the stretch from Pampano to Jupiter 😊😊😊

A step on the sliding door side would make getting in and out easier and get a Matt to put on the ground when camping to help keep dirt out.

As always another outstanding video. Your skills get better the more you build. Keep up the great build and content :)

Looks like you found the connection with eternity.

I was getting those caprese salads from Publix when I was in Florida recently

for utility portions look into getting truck bedliner paint. it stands up to a lot and you won't need to repaint for a long, long time. more expensive but worth it!

You find very scenic places to camp. Your van build is progressing nicely . I do like your channel.

You've come a long way and growing in confidence in every uploads. Love what you've achieved so far. Keep chasing your dreams. Gil from London

Whoa - I didn't expect a full on camping video just yet! The outside of the van looks really sharp!!

Fantastic, incredible, Krugerand gold, Supercalafragilistic ... and your van is nice too.

Your hand seems to still cling to the comfort of home & security which is cool. Total respect, as It is a big world to get lost in. Except Ireland 😎 ☘☘☘

You're doing such a wonderful job, can't wait to see the finished van build😊

Congrats on your progress! I'm sure it is so satisfying as you get closer to completion. Good for you 😊!

Those fans are going to make considerable noise. You would definately need vibration insulation on the inside. Try finding vibration material you can make a gasket with. A thin carpet gasket would work too.

Awesome! So cool you tested camping in your van. Just ordered my first AG1 case 👌👊

Bonjour Elisa, ça se précise de semaine en semaine ! Content de voir que tu as décidé de partir avec ton van, ne serait-ce qu'une nuit, tu devais avoir besoin de ce moment d'évasion ! Impatient de te voir sillonner les routes. Merci 😊

I’ve tried AG1. I gained lots of energy. Great video

I have to suggest that you might have an issue with your fan installation, and that's where you put them. One suggestion is that you should have one blowing in, and another blowing out to get cross flow. The other potential problem I see is that when you close the doors, the fans will be very close to the door, not allowing for much air flow, especially when you get your bed installed and begin storing things under it. Under those conditions I don't think they're going to be very effective when the Florida weather heats up. Another possible issue may be humidity. It might be a good idea to put some large desiccant bags inside the enclosure too, within a large plastic tray of some kind just to keep them from shifting around and potentially breaking open from the wear of shifting around on the floor. Of course those bags don't work indefinitely. You'd have to put new ones in every so often.

You are so awesome! 🌻🐝 I think you should use removable contact paper for your electrical box. This way you could keep changing it out without too much hassle. Imagine all the designs lol.💞

Pretty slick there slim! Remember when working with electricity always use one hand, two and you complete the circuit. Remember it's not the destination but the journey.

Looking awesome!...❤️🤗🤗 Van is looking great as well...👍👍

Thanks for sharing! Elisa, and also thanks to KZfaq University a lot to learn there....

Better check out some bolted locks for all doors to keep your personal belongings secure while u taking a walk. Also some security tinted windows for harder break in.

You got power.. fridge , just finish the bed rest baby step , put towel in fridge hang intake fan so it cools some , or wear it to hot

You may want to flip the bottom fan with direction pulling cold air in while hot air exiting at the top.

Love it when you explore. Wonderful quality of life.

So glad to see you out and testing your rig! There's no better way to see what you need and where. I was working on my square drop earlier in preparation for a trip this weekend coming up. Stay beautiful

it's such a joy watching you learn as you go

You can save a bunch of $$ by buying a mattress from Amazon. (Versus ordering a custom made one) I picked up an 8 inch Zinus (or something like that) from amazon. Was my first attempt at getting an rv mattress but really needed a 10 inch. But my wife picked up a mattress topper from Costco and it’s great now. She had to cut it to fit which you can do with an electric carving knife pretty easily.

Today’s magnets are the way to go especially with the neodymiums. They say shakedown and trial runs help you figure out the good and the bad. Don’t forget to mention how bad the mosquitoes, creepy crawlers and humidity is in Florida. 😊

I’m impressed, well done, as always.

Nice job so far! I’m learning with you and I hope to be building my van next year. Keep the videos coming.

You are doing an amazing job on your van conversion!❤

Elisa, felicidades por tus videos, creo que son excelentes. Yo también soy RVer y no estoy muy lejos de ti. Mi familia también vive en So Flo. Me gustaría conocerte en alguna ocasión. Nos vemos!

Buy a memory foam mattress that is almost to the size fits into your van ,the cut it using a sharp blade ,it easy then take the top cover to a local siestas to resize the top cover or get custom fitted sheets, this is the cheapest option

👍👍👍 Nice job again Elisa, friendly from France.

I just found your channel this morning. Im retired now, and would also like to do what youre doing…traveling the US. I really enjoy your channel and i’ve subscribed. Ive already binge watched about 10 of your latest videos on the van conversion. Kudos to you.

You’re doing great. I’m impressed seeing how well thought out you have been each step of the way. Hillsborough River park was nice I will visit there for sure. Keep up with the great videos.

Your doing a great job. Its really starting to look nice...
