Glad the beads worked out for you. I've used them in several trucks and never had consistent results. I think they are great if you're picking up mud etc in your wheels though. Thanks for commenting.

A chart could be handy to get a starting point but using an infra red heat gun to measure tread temperature seems to work well. Adding about 5 in the front and 15 in the rear seems close with the camper loaded. I'm sure we'll fine time that a little more when we get traveling soon.

Thank you! Oh that's too bad, would have been nice to say hi. Next time for sure.

Yes. I've talked to Pat at HD shocks about front springs. Shipping cost from California would have been steep though. We may still get them when we are down that way this winter. To be honest though, the shocks were a major improvement in ride and I'm not super keen on lifting the front another 1.5 or two inches.... I'm on the fence.

@@TheTimeIsNowAdventures from what I have heard it really improves the ride. I’m in AZ so shipping isn’t to bad. I want to do the King shocks as well. Love your build!

Thanks for watching. More to come.

They were very helpful and informative from our experience for sure and also offer a great product and service. Good luck with your project.

Thank you so much! ☺️

☕️ good morning!! Have a wonderful day.

Then you should get one. The time is now!! You know.

Thank you, and thank you for watching! We hope you have a wonderful day!

Good morning 🌞☕️

These are the panels I found that fit the space that were easily available in Canada. I'm sure there are other options that could work out though. I did not consider flex panels. They would be a simple solution, but from what I understand, are more affected by efficiency loss from heat and I wanted to keep the option open to tilt the panels when the sun is low in the winter. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the kind words. We love it too.

I can't say the thought didn't cross my mind 😉. Gotta get things done and hit the road soon though. Maybe in the future. In a kitchen with a larger oven I would have put a space for cookie sheets.

I've installed a few systems over the years. Thanks for watching. Solar install coming next. 🔥💥

Good observation. No, it doesn't. The hinge/door has to be removed to make shelf adjustments. We may have to do that once we use the fridge a bit more and determine what items go where.

Thanks for reply to ref door ? . I have the same model BF 1997 . Also went w the Unique 2years ago, perfect no problem. Added solar, renogy 50amp DC to DC , SOK206amp batt, renogy 2000w pure sin, 5 100w rich panels, tiltabel. Everything inside, controller,switches,fuses mounted on the side of propane box,battery under sink, inverter in the closet . Left the existing system in place just removed the batteries and taped the wires, hardwired the inverter to existing generator wires, the white 3conductor that goes to the box in the“shore power compartment “ . So basically I have dual system’s . By the way, your install,nice clean and organized.

Sounds like you have a great setup. I never thought of factory generator option. Obviously that's what the 12 ga wire was for. They must have installed a transfer switch near the show power plug when the generator option was installed. Thanks for watching.

My 12ga gen cable,now my inverter cable, terminated in a receptacle box so now I just plug the shore power cable in to receptacle when of grid . This is for “What it is Worth” file. I had water intrusion in the gen compartment when heavy rain ,solved it by installing a aluminum drip rail just above. Rail like above your entryway. Above all the other doors inc all windows added Stick On Driprail. The trick w stick on rail is to scratch and clean area well and get wall and rail real hot and roll out real good. Another problem was the fresh water tank. Had a water leak, opened up the bottom , the tank a 50gal L shaped polyethylene tank ,secured w only 3 straps, one had ripped out . Not a good arrangement, so I added 3 more straps ,also installed a tank heater on Fw tank, installed a SeeLevel Monitor system since I had the bottom opened. Appreciate you documenting your Project.

Hahaha, yes, I am!! We will have a small step ladder with us as well. Gord is currently planning out a pull out deck, which will make getting in and out of the camper, so much better ☺️

Thanks 👍

It is a shame. There were so many old mines around the Wawa area when I was a kid. They would be a big tourism attraction now. You can see it from the safety and environmental perspective also though. Thanks for watching.

They seem to work well so far. Great upgrade from the original lights. 👍

No problem at all. Thanks for watching. Keep in mind you'll have to fashion mounts and something to hold the doors closed when traveling, since they aren't specifically designed for RV installations. canadianoffgriddepot.com/collections/solar-appliances/products/ugp-6-cu-ft-dc-fridge

It's surprising that the manufacturer would waste that much space. Thanks for watching.

Nope. It may have leaked a bit at some point, not sure, but there were no signs of water damage other than the wallpaper coming off of the back wall. The fridge vent on the roof was repaired and resealed during the roof repairs. 😊

@@TheTimeIsNowAdventures aah probably then humidity over the years 👍🏼.

Yes the fridge is running off our 12v solar system. It draws about 4.5 amps when it runs. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the kind words. I just don't always show my mistakes 😂

You're probably right. I've installed some front and rear windows in cars with black butyl a long time ago. This stuff sure was a lot more messy than the dicor butyl tape we've been using. Maybe it has improved over the years. Thanks for commenting.

Yes, which is why we didn't go inside anything and were very cautious as we walked around. More will likely fall down this coming winter.

@@TheTimeIsNowAdventures yeah but i was thinking about kids adventuring there. Surprising that was left.

yeah, not really sure why they took down some but not all. Personally, I think it was before all of the regulations for shut down came into effect. Thankfully, it is tucked WAY back in the bush where most people, especially kids, don't go. Enjoy your day!!

Haha thanks Jobie 😊

The fridge has made its way to a new home. Hopefully, it will continue to work for them for years 🤞 Thanks for watching!

😊😊😊 We're so happy that you're enjoying the videos and that they've helped. Much more to come! Good luck with your repairs and reno.

How did you get the trim on the escape hatch off? Would like to remove it when painting

@@albiecraig9359 There was a screw in each piece of the facing trim, so they came off easily. The inside pieces, tuck in between the hatch and the roof. There might have been glue holding them in at some point, but after 27 years they were just pressure fit LOL. I used a small pry bar to loosen them and then pulled them out by hand.

@@TheTimeIsNowAdventures 😉

Thank you 😊

We will! Looking forward to seeing your new office.

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!

Thanks 👍

More to come! We're glad you are enjoying them! ☺️

We've had good luck with them. Hopefully you have a similar experience. Thanks for watching!

Drain holes are definitely a good idea. We're anxious to get back to the dry climate. Thanks for commenting.

Thank you 😊 Hopefully it can help some people with the task and save their rigs from water damage.

Thanks for letting us know how the newer windows work. Sounds like you're on top of it 😊

We don't drag race. The sticker was on the motorhome when we purchased it lol. The people we bought it from were heavily involved with the Jr drags.

Good catch! We completely forgot to mention that. Gord checked all of the drains on our windows, and all were clear. Checking them is a good habit to get into. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you Kyle 😊

Maybe for a future upgrade. We'll live with them as they are for now. Thanks for watching.

Ya. We may have to splurge for the torklift stairs. Definitely something better than the ones we have

@@TheTimeIsNowAdventures It is indeed a $plurge. I am certain you need a back porch too.

The camper is designed for an 8ft box truck, as this is. This is a much heavier built truck than is required though.

I asked because it looked to not be all the way forward against the cab, which could mean the centre of gravity of the camper is behind the rear axle putting a bit of uplift on the front of the truck. Just curious. That is definitely a BIG truck. What made you interested in it rather than something like a F450?

Yes is all the way forward. The 4500 chassis is a little longer than a 2500 or 3500 so the box front is a few inches thicker, leaving a little more space from the back of the cab. We were long for a pre def diesel. I'm sure a Dodge or Ford could be an option also.

Thanks for watching. We'll see what happens

Your have great views from up there though 👍🏻

Haha, oh my gosh, it's crazy. In our next video, you get to see exactly how high it is 🫣
