    Cody’s little sayings are my favorite. I called the brisket prices at the store the other day “uptown high rent.” 🤣 I can’t wait to use “that’s handier than pockets on a shirt”

    You might want to make your favorite spices with a magnet to keep them in place. That way it will stay organized. I'm OCD and I completely understand the process. Love your new truck and trailer. I enjoy watching you every week.

    EXTEND DRY CAMP TIME, Great mods, nice rig CONGRATULATIONS. To make life easier and extend your dry camping periods, you might consider: 1) An extra snap on Dump Slider Valve so you can OPEN your existing black and gray valves to like double your gray holding capacity as you're NOT using the black.. 2) Add a 40 or 60 Amp DC to DC charger (properly wired) to charge your house batteries correctly when driving. 3) Convert to an Oxygenics Shower head to save water..,4) One more rooftop solar panel (maybe 200 watt or more whatever fits) maybe an upgraded Solar Charge Controller IF necessary. Fun videos keep em coming 5) IF necessary upgrade your Charger for lithium once you install them ............Do you guys read the comments ??

    Love the carpet removal! Just makes sense to have something easy to keep clean at the entrance especially for camping 😂
    I thought when you said chalk paint that you were going to make a little chalk board out of that cabinet door...which wld be super cute and functional! You Cld change the message every day or put what's for dinner or a quote etc 😉

    😊 Reminds me of helping my dad in the old days. Nice to see. Here are my two cents: I wouldn't paint the butcher block pieces at the entrance. They look nice. I would repaint the cupboard door. It looks out of place as it is. You folks are so smart and so amazing. Wish I had young people around to help me do a back up camera. That is so great.

    Love the cabinet door. I feel like I would have painted the outer frame of it to match the rest of the cabinets and used chalkboard paint in the middle.

    Here is a tip on the faucet. Try rotating the faucet 90 degrees so that the handle is aligned over the sink instead of the side. Less mess and easier to use.

  • @tammykolsky1214
    @tammykolsky1214 2 роки тому +2

    You guys have made a lot of progress in a short time! I am impressed!
    If you are looking for suggestions for changes, I would look at the table to see if there is a way to modify the end closest to the door to be a drop leaf so you didn’t have to always squeeze around from the one end. If you end up deciding to repaint the door consider making it a chalk board with white trim that you could use for notes or to list the menu for what Kellie is cooking on each blog.

  • @deniseolmstead6415
    @deniseolmstead6415 2 роки тому

    @dalehastings1062 2 роки тому

    Have the same camper. Love the blk water drain shelf on outside. Also that storage as you step in. I will steal these ideas! Thx! Stuff Ive done. Taken off bathroom door n replaced with pullback curtains. Painted entrance n kitchen white w/blue accent. Since the paint is soft I found it best to put two coats of polyureathane to give it a hard coat n easy to clean. Water based is fine. In my spoon/knife drawer I put 4screws near the top that my s/f/k organizer rests on. The heavy cutting knives n big utensils sit underneath. Thinking of putting lil shelves in the others to give them dual height. See ya’ll on tha road! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    • @dalehastings1062
      @dalehastings1062 2 роки тому

      Two other ideas I will be implementing. The restroom. I will take out that mirror vanity n replace with multiple level shelving running from behind and above the toilet (which you dont have!) and around to where the mirror was. I’ll put in a better mirror that I have here in the house. 10X the amnt of storage. #2.- where you step up into the bed….that wall surface at your knees….I’m putting a tabletop that hangs on a piano-hinge. When needed, lift up and the support leg or legs swing down. Thinking of making it a game-table too! Next month: renovating the bedroom!👍🏻

    • @dalehastings1062
      @dalehastings1062 2 роки тому

      Howdy howdy. More thoughts. It got into mid 40°s here in Fl n that floor was really cold. Looking at the sub-space I see zero insulation. I know we have the basement heater but Im wondering if it could still use a good dose of insulation down underneath n other spots. Using styrofoam sheeting w/foil on outside tween truck n underbox. I thought of boxing off the battery since it needs to vents n that brings in cold air. Any other thoughts, ideas, inputs?
      That first foot of free space underneath the flooring as you step in looks like a nice storage place for some tools n stuff.

    • @dalehastings1062
      @dalehastings1062 2 роки тому

      Something the worker guy that was doing the installation told me at the rv center was that since our license tags on the truck are hidden, that state troopers/LEOs may not like that. They can stop you and ticket you for obscuring the tag and Id hate for any escalation to happen so I am making a copy of the tag to place where it can be seen. May not happen but just in case.

    Im so jealous of your new faucet, as I do have a high clearance faucet in my EPro 19BH, but it doesn’t have an extendable wand. You’re absolutely correct about it wasting water. I think I have the same sink you do and rinsing it out is a total water waste. My cabinet underneath is TINY!!! I’m still trying to figure out how to get behind the cabinet to loosen/tighten that bolt that holds the faucet stable in the counter. uugh

    There is a very good chance, the handle on the faucet can vibrate open when driving and flood your camper. Some people use a heavy rubber band on the faucet handle to secure it to the faucet stem so it can't turn on when driving.
