See Brian, this is just another reason why I enjoy you as a person. You gifted the van to someone else because it was gifted to you. That just goes to show where your morality is as a person. Great job.
That's how it works... good feelings on all sides. Wish we could see people like this everyday... cause I think most of us ARE like this. Maybe I'm a dreamer...
Yes I am the new Adventure Van Man van owner and I can’t thank Brian nearly enough. We will be buddies forever. I can’t wait to get out there and join you all! Brian was kind enough to get me a great starting camper van so here I come boon-docking somewhere soon. It now has an antique plate too.
Brian is one of the most down to earth van lifers on UA-cam. I’ve been watching him since 2017. This is the 3rd van. Can’t wait to see how he’s going to make it a home. Stay safe out there Brian.
I’m excited to watch the evolution of your box van. It feels like a brand new chapter for the adventurevanman. I’m already a little nostalgic for the old Chevy, but her time had come. Here’s cheers to you and Kelly !!
OK let's get started... Bed , fridge , sink , potty , shower , cabinets for kitchen , tool room ,bike rack , cabinets for clothes , battery bank , solar gauges and gizmos , solar panels , sock drawer , aquarium , TV and entertainment center , satalite dish , clear , grey and black tanks , back porch , and roof deck . OK...all done.
Umatilla, Florida! I live in Umatilla, Oregon. Did you know that Umatilla, Florida was named after Umatilla, Oregon? Umatilla means "rippling waters" after the Umatilla River which flows into the Columbia River.
You are a true vanner to gift your home to another person so they can have a new life that is so awesome since it was gifted to you you gifted it out to somebody else that's love I thank you for being that way God bless you
8 years. I hadn't realized I've been following you for that long. I can hardly wait to see what you do to your new box truck. Your buildouts are so simple, and zen. That's what I liked about this one. It's another "wait and see" week. Blessings.
So glad that you are moving up to a truck. I hope that we will see your truck build. Tell Kellie to not be so shy. All of us like her and want to see her too.
WOW the pass through came out much better than I had thought it would . Looking forward to your van build Brian and wishing you good luck with everything !
This is why so many people love you. Honest, fair, calm, rational, and fabulous photography. I hope you have many wonderful adventures in the new truck, and look forward to watching the build. Thank you Brian!!
Even from Australia it feels like a special privilege to have you sharing like this. Certainly everything looks like its working out for you. Good ethics, giving that van away that was gifted to you. Can't wait to see the full conversion. Peace, friends.
Get ready for big blessings brother giving is the way to go. Big daddy’s blessings are way better than what you could of got out the van. And I’m calling for blessings beyond your wildest dreams and desires to flow your way like a river of blessings to you and Kelly. May you have a hedge of protection be with you both and surround your vans and life’s. And let your travels be joyful and blessed always. 🙏 👍👍
Hi Shemaj, looks like we travel in the same circles LoL. He's a good guy who deserves all the blessings that I pray follows for him. Hope you & Mom are well.😘
Thoroughly enjoy your channel. Good info. Well grounded. Best of luck with the can build. Good health to you and Kellie as well. Keep in Keep in on! Kellie don't be so bashful,the camera likes you.lol.
It's been great spending some time with you and Kelly again !! I'm now at my buddies place doing some maintenance on my van and enjoying the warmer weather. Looking forward to seeing how your project is coming along !! Peace to all our nomad brothers and sisters !!!!
Hooray and CONGRATS!! You have a kind and giving heart Brian. My dad always said, “it will come back to you tenfold!” Looking forward to the BOX build. Cheering you on!! ‼️💯❤️🚚💨
Question Brian- Is the floor ply wood over metal (metal underside?), or plywood on treated 2x6's or 2x8's like some older box vans (not the best in snow then, where I live). Also if you have not thought about this before the build- modern GM fuel pumps go out without warning and are on the top side of the fuel tank. The 4.8 and 5.3 pumps last about 100K. Some GM cargo van owners cut out a access panel in the floor for easy fuel pump changing in the field vs dropping the tank (pain in the arse). Just cover up with larger thicker sheet and screw / silicone seal it. A buddy did this, it was a useful timesaver.
Hi Brian Congratulations on the new van I can't wait for the new build its going to be neat to see what you do I'll be watching # Adventure begins with a new van
I'd probably get some hinges and a latch and use that part you cut out as a door. Since you're going to Tampa i hope you go to Busch Gardens. Lots of fun and they have roller coasters :-)
I can't think of a better person to gift this van to. I know Richard and he is very kind and caring. He has a huge heart and is so excited to have this van. Thank you!!!! Meow
You’re such an awesome soul! Wishing you all the best and much happiness in your new home. I’m glad you have Kelly by your side to share your adventures with. 💕
Soooo happy for you Brian. You have accomplished so much in your life in such a short time. No one deserves good happening to them, more than you do. Genuinely kind and nice person.
Thanks Brian. We live around the corner and never knew you could camp here! Good luck with the new van. Enjoy the Forest while your here. Thanks for the years of entertainment and education.
So excited to watch your new build. I received my sticker from you and was so touched by the card you included. The sticker and the card will have honored spots in our van. I almost got a little teary, watching the old van drive away. Another chapter begins.....this should be fun!!
See Brian, this is just another reason why I enjoy you as a person. You gifted the van to someone else because it was gifted to you. That just goes to show where your morality is as a person. Great job.
I concur with your comment. Such a good dude.
Hi Anthony, have to agree with you. Brian is a stand up guy.
Thank you Anthony! I love your cooking show! ✌🏼
I agree. He seems very genuine and kind.
That's how it works... good feelings on all sides. Wish we could see people like this everyday... cause I think most of us ARE like this. Maybe I'm a dreamer...

hopefully Rich, you can do some videos on your travels with your new van. The adventure continues.
@@MrMark85044 I just may do that. I live in Fort Lauderdale.
I'm Jelly ❣️😋💜 can't wait to be boondocking myself!!
Congrats! Would be great to see your adventures with the van!
Safe travels to you Rich! My hubby and I will be starting our travels next month. We are excited to start our adventure:)
You gifted the van, not sell it? That's awesome of you.
You look happy and relieved to be making a start on the new van :) Away we go!
Charlotte from Ky.🙂
Very excited to see the old van continue to roll down the road in some new adventures with the new owner...... KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON !!
Brian is one of the most down to earth van lifers on UA-cam. I’ve been watching him since 2017. This is the 3rd van. Can’t wait to see how he’s going to make it a home. Stay safe out there Brian.
Your calm demeanor is inspiring to me.
Me too I don't have 2 minutes a day this calm

So sad to see the old van drive away without you, but the adventure continues! Thanks for taking us along.

Remembering the first van you gifted to the guy at the Christmas tree lot a few years ago - the adventure continues! ✌🏼❤️🚐
Couldn't stop smiling through this entire video. I'm so happy for you Brian. And thanks to Dwayne for helping out.

Congratulations on YOUR New Adventures in The New BOX VAN HOME ❤💪
"Until we meet again"
A very teary eyed moment...but...a new adventure ❣️
Very good, excited to see progress. Thanks!
Goodbye ‘old’ Van.....Hello ‘new’ van...let the adventure continue !!
So glad that you are moving up to a truck. I hope that we will see your truck build. Tell Kellie to not be so shy. All of us like her and want to see her too.

You are a good dude. Thanks for your channel.
Awesome Brian 👍👍✌
Won't be the same without that beautiful classic van!!
...let the adventure continue.🙏🏻
The passthrough is a must have if your living in the van. I like that you didn't cut square corners. 👍☮☸
You're a nice guy Brian, and good things happen to good people mate, got to admire your generosity. Safe travels and stay safe.
Even from Australia it feels like a special privilege to have you sharing like this. Certainly everything looks like its working out for you. Good ethics, giving that van away that was gifted to you. Can't wait to see the full conversion. Peace, friends.
Even I felt a little bereft watching the old van disappear around the corner 😢. But I’m stoked to watch the evolution of version 3.0!
When you bless others, you bless yourself...enjoy your journey.

Very excited for you! Love the van you chose.
Met you at Panasoffkee. Happy you are making progress. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Gifting it? Because it was gifted to you? How very kind of you, Brian.
Brian is now officially & technically living "out of the box". 🐬
Awe, how nice to see Duane! Best of luck on your rebuild and dentures in your new home.
You could have sold the van, but instead decided to give it to someone, nice good hearted decision.
Brian, congratulations on new vehicle. Nice! God bless
I will enjoy seeing your new truck take shape."Keep on Trucking"
I have been watching your video's for a longtime. Good luck with the new box van
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Brian, your generosity is humbling. Major respect to you, sir.

This is a super satisfying part of van camping. Great to see the new spaces open up and the possibilities too. Thanks for the video!
Nice job on the cutting on the pass through, good idea rounding those corners! 💕👍
Hi Brian Congratulations on the new van I can't wait for the new build its going to be neat to see what you do I'll be watching # Adventure begins with a new van
Thank you for sharing your life with me.
How cool is this....and away we go.......
Wow 3 years have past so quick I remember when you were fitting the Chevy van out. Looking forward to seeing the new van evolve.
I'd probably get some hinges and a latch and use that part you cut out as a door. Since you're going to Tampa i hope you go to Busch Gardens. Lots of fun and they have roller coasters :-)
Great to see the story continues, you're really a great bloke, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your build out.
I can't think of a better person to gift this van to. I know Richard and he is very kind and caring. He has a huge heart and is so excited to have this van. Thank you!!!! Meow
Congratulations! And may God Bless You!
It's good to see you already working on your new home!
You’re such an awesome soul! Wishing you all the best and much happiness in your new home. I’m glad you have Kelly by your side to share your adventures with. 💕
Thanks

You have accomplished so much in your life in such a short time.
No one deserves good happening to them, more than you do.
Genuinely kind and nice person.
Thank you Bryan
Ha......love seeing Kelly. Its fun watching you with you new van.
Scared the heck out of us when your appendix surgery occurred.
So very proud of your gifting it forward. Much respect !! Peace
Like losing a friend for sure but life goes on. New van will be a palace when you get done, take your time creating it.
Thanks for inviting us! So excited to watch you build out your new home! Congrats!
As you say, the adventure continues. I'm sure it will be hard work but so excited for you, hope it all goes smoothly. :)
I always wondered about cutting a pass through and enjoyed watching you cutting it like a boss!
Thanks Brian. We live around the corner and never knew you could camp here! Good luck with the new van. Enjoy the Forest while your here. Thanks for the years of entertainment and education.
Awesome and congrats on the new box van. You look relieved and happy. Can't wait to see what you do with the build. Cheers.

Congratulations on your new van Brian. Happy travels.
So excited to watch your new build. I received my sticker from you and was so touched by the card you included. The sticker and the card will have honored spots in our van. I almost got a little teary, watching the old van drive away. Another chapter begins.....this should be fun!!
