You might need a bottom for that compartment to keep road spray of the wood. It won't last long unprotected.
And rodents!
I was thinking the same thing!
It does have a bottom that when slid in seals it from road dust & water.
@@raymondherbst7126 No, the fact that it pulls out means it won't seal, the compartment needs a floor.
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!
Add a heat resistant grill mat under the grill to solve the heat issues with the grill over the pretty wood shelf ☺️
Just a silicone cookie tray mat would work
I was just thinking of the same thing!
I agree! Just put a silicone mat underneath, and you're good to go.
Same thought
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!
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. 👍🏻
I was about to suggest the very same thing.
Me too 😄
A nice cut to fit stainless sheeting will arrest any concerns over heat as well as easy cleaning.
Great minds think alike.
Thanks for the suggestion!!
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Water PROOF, waterTight, Noise Proof, Smell Proof, Critter Proof?!?, I really enjoy you Two's ENERGY...!!
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!
That little girl is amazingly cute! She is so glad to be out with all of you for dino day :)
She had the BEST time! So many life-size dinosaurs. It was so much fun to experience it with her 😍
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.
No, if you look they took the handle off the top, they could have just shortened the handle.
@@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.
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.
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
Thanks so much!! We're so happy to be moving on to fun, creative projects and not just building out necessary things 🙌
Having a few clay tiles under your grill will help with the heat.
I guess the lesson here is to leave loads of space under the grill for extra layers 😉
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!
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 🤪
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
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!
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 😅
My friend uses a fake owl that she got in a garden centre. It worked for one summer.
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 🙂
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!!
You could put a fire proof sheet under your grill. That should help. I've seem them at stores that sell only BBQs.
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.
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! 😁
Thanks so much, Christopher!! 🥰
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 )
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.
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! ❤️
Looks like a good plan. Metal may be a safer option. You got this! Can't wait to see your first BBQ.
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
I used spray flexseal in my vans generator compartment to make it look better and waterproof it. Worked well.
Hey, to countersink, reverse your drill. It'll help prevent going too deep and blowing out the hole...
That grill station is brilliant! 🥩🥓🍳
Well done....again!
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!!
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 😊
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 👍
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.
Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?
Happy b day Eric ! 🎁🎉🎊🎈🎂. I like that outdoor grill that is alwasome ! Outstanding job on the entire rebuild
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 👍🏻🙂
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 😅
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!!
Happy birthday Eric! That grill addition looks great. Clementine is one awesome RV!
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 TH-camrs! :) Been along for the ride since well before 100k.
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 😅
Good work "Team Adventure". The griller is only big enough for 2 meals. But it looks Far Out fantastic.
Don't shorten the legs. Simply shorten the handle 👌. Happy birthday Eric. I love the grill cubby!🥰
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 :)
You could try gluing some ceramic tiles under the grill to protect the wood. Nice build though :)
Happy Birthday Eric! The grill addition looks awesome, great job you two!
Quality job on the creation of your grill. I truly love the mini shelfs for the plates.
The grill looks great! Have a great birthday Eric!
My favourite addition to your van! Just pop a floor tile under the BBQ. Love it!
Happy, Happy,Happy, Birthday Eric 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️you Guys Rock 🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨
You guys' ingenuity with the van and now the grill is outstanding. Well done. 👏👏👏
Great job, guys!! I love the grill! It looks so cute. 🙂
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 👌
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!
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!
So sorry to hear that! Hope you're feeling better 🙏
you could get a decal of clementines for that bbq grill door!!
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!!
@16:00 just put a bit of metal as a heat shield... You should have a metal tray there anyways, to catch embers.
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❤️🙏🏻
You guys had me smiling all the way through this video..
I love all your RV related episodes! You could turn this channel into the Endless RV Maintenance & Upgrade Show. 😉❤
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! 🤪
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
Thought; Maybe place stickers from your adventures over the metal panel? Over years it will look unique and awsome! Grill looks great! Enjoy it!
Nice project! Outdoor cooking is going to make your life on the road soon much better 😋
Put a large tile underneath the grill it will deflect the heat…. It’s really cute love you two!!!
Happy Birthday Young Man!!
Enjoy, your day!!! ❤️❤️
that was a neat creation! I think you guys are my birth year 1986, so it's okay and Happy Birthday!!!
This is great, extending your living space outside is the way go.
Love your pull out grill! You guys did an amazing job!
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.
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
I love all the little projects you do in the rv it’s looking so good.you have saved it’s life.keep up the good work👍🇬🇧
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
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.
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.
Oh Glorious Sanding!!!!!! IYKYK
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!
Happy Birthday Eric! Your grill looks perfect!
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
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.
Yous are my fave TH-cam couple ever been here for years and I still get excited to see yous and clementine of course 🥰
❤️❤️ Aww, thank you!! We're so happy to have you adventuring with us (and Clementine)!
Super proud of the grill layout!
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
turned out nice, but would seal up the underside of the hole or you're going to get alot of moisture up in there when driving in the rain.
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.
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!!
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.
They certainly do have aluminium foil in the US (they skip one of the I’s😄), that’s a good idea!
You guys should get starlink internet for you're travels. I just ordered mine lastnight! Should have it in a week or so! Let me know if you're interested figuring out how to order one, I'd be more than happy to help. 🙂
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.
I’m loving the old school truckers Budweiser hat!
Nice design! I love the side tables!
Get a pizza stone to set on the wood under the grill --- for removable "insulation" against the heat.
You should look at a small propane griddle instead. You’ll get a lot more use out of it than a small grill. Since you’re here in TX, they have them at Academy. It should fit right in that space.
It looks amazing. Maybe put tile under the grill so it doesn't burn the wood. It looks great though!
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.
Love this guys!!!! Have you thought about putting some aluminum under the grill for the heat?🤗
Hi 👋 Lisa, how are you doing?
I would drill some rows of holes under the grill or a heat mat to help. Maybe a drop down support leg as well.
You should be able to find some sort of Teflon silicone mat and it’s will , Be great ! Always a fun adventure !
Happy Birthday!!! Safe travels… when you head threw Temple wave to my son for me and smile at Bucees ❤️❤️❤️
Oh and Happy Birthday Eric!🎂🎉🍻
Well done, you two! And also, I know this video is not about fashion but Alison I love the skort! And Eric that trucker hat is also amazing. -Ang
Yes, Metal to reflect the heat underneath would help. Or 🔥 fire bricks although they may be too heavy. Possibly both. Look into both and see what works and what you can afford both in weight and price of materials. Other then the heat issue your grill station looks bad functions wonderfully.
You all should totally attach the handle you took off the grill with magnets on the ends that would originally attach to the grill.. that way you can just use the handle by just using the handle with said magnets on the ends when you are grilling.. then you can easily detach the handle and place it under or beside the grill to fold back under the RV . Hope that makes sense lol but it might work lol just an idea lol love your videos. 2 years in and still watching 😊
