    I totally understand having satelite tv whilst on the road. You don't always have internet or brodcast. Its a great way to cover all the bases. Great upgrades Eric.

    Congratulations, Eric and Jax on your remodel!!! Eric you are so good at all the technical connections. I wish I could be half as good. But I so appreciate your abilities to show us all how to do it. Thank you for all the info. I know you and Jax are going to enjoy and love it. Thanks, stay safe and enjoy.

    @choimdachoim9491 5 років тому

    Good removal! We removed a large swivel chair by our stairs which left large bolts sticking up which I used to install a custom hand-rail/barrier which reached from floor to ceiling kinda like on a bus or a train. That removed my concern that someone would step into the stairwell accidently. We then built and installed a TV cabinet against that wall. A 3 foot by 3 foot floor-space is a huge amount of area in a Motor Home. In your case I probably would have saved the Dinette Set pieces in storage in case I sold the Coach later. We use our Dinette daily for eating, writing, puzzles, games, office, extra counter-space when cooking, etc.

    2) Bertha
    3) Olga

      If you feel the need later, you could always add one of those removable tables, so you don't have to eat in your lap. Are you still going to convert the bunk area to an office?

    I love how you took several big projects and edited down the completion. Dish is awesome from what you describe it does, Cabinet looked like it would take a month, 3 mins and voila! it's done. Looks great! Thanks for including us in these cool changes and processes! Jax will want to lay on it, make him a comfy spot with non skid bottom.

  • @markbajek2541
    @markbajek2541 5 років тому

    Eric,If that chest of drawers doesn't hold up for the long run, take a look at Target and their Threshold line of cube storage. They make a 6 storage cube that takes the Fabric style boxes for storing stuff. the cube dimensions are about 13 x 13 and the unit depth is about 16 deep . 3 cubes stacked in a row of 2. It's similar to the IKEA expidit line of storage that got replaced by kallax although the threshold stuff is a bit lighter as the core is mostly hollow but pretty beefy if you decide to glue the thing together and also use the screws (you wont be able to take it apart). You'll have to put a back on it and nail it on to sort of beef up the rear diagonal forces. (you could use a side of the cardboard box the unit ships in to do that or a thin laminate board would work). What you now own is something similar to the closetmaid brand of product and the tracks to the drawers have a tendency to vibrate the screws out of the chip board (and crack the chip board.) . I use the threshold stuff to store vinyl records (which are pretty heavy) and no issues holding that type of weight even stacking cube sets on top of each other.(as long as you beef up the rear so it won't accordion on you., and I don't glue any of it) I hope jax enjoys the top of the new furniture as much as he did the seating area, at least he's got one more remote to play with.

    @JannaMontanna 5 років тому +2

    I love what you’ve done to the dining area! Those drawers look terrific!! Did you know that Walmart will assemble that stuff for about $60. For me it would be worth it! What a pile of parts you had there!!! Love your Dish antenna and DVR! I’ve just found out that I can stream what’s on my TiVo box at home to my iPad or iPhone while I’m on the road! Works perfectly! I love all this new technology! Hi to Jax! Not enough Jax in this video!! (Just kidding :).

  • @DruidPriest
    @DruidPriest 5 років тому +2

    You're not done. You need to get a motorized TV lift stand so you can lower your TV behind the dresser and have use of your window again. I know you'll need to pull out your dresser a bit, but hey... Will be worth it. If done correctly, it may add some protection to your TV when driving. And for another project, a dual zone mini-split AC system to replace those roof AC units. More room for more solar panels!

    Love the remodel I had an idea If the passengers chair can turn around you could make a table out of the left top drawer or a folding swivel table on the side of the cabinet that you could use for a desk or dining table if you wanted a change or had a couple of guest over

    I like how you point out you can entertain yourself in other ways. If I attach my dish to the roof and get connection at least half the time, I would be happy. So you helped me decide. Gonna mount mine on the roof. I don’t want to have to worry about the dang thing falling down a hill like it did when I had one years ago for my trailer.

  • @justdave1
    @justdave1 5 років тому

    The dresser is a great look and idea. You could get a vase and some artificial roses at a $ store and when you park, pop out your "flowers" for a homey look! Or a basket with some green plants. I like having a few plants around but real ones might not work on the road. I'm really impressed how you've moved up over the years, better rigs, great improvements all along the way. Your a lot of fun to watch.

    @lethomps1 5 років тому

    Wow, that drawer system looks really nice. Making your RV yours should be what everyone does. Seems like I am always changing something in mine. Everyone has different needs. Know you will have to get yourself a movable table so you can work without holding your hot laptop on your lap. Your video was about twice as long as usual. I enjoyed it as you kept it going with different things.

  • @staroceans8677
    @staroceans8677 5 років тому +1

    LOVE IT, LOVE IT! AWESOME addition. Why don't RV manufacturers get a clue?? Large dinette sets are soooo yesterday, and they ALWAYS take up so much space. RV life is conducive to being outdoors, eating outdoors, cooking outdoors, unless it's inclement. Your additions are conducive to the best, most practical and comfortable. 👍 the easier the better!!!!
    Only concern would be clearance.
    Love the info...you're a thorough resource.
    Looking forward to getting a similar system.
    Stay safe...best to you and Jaximus! 🤗

    @davemuppyrvvlogchannel7735 5 років тому +1

    I was wondering if you put the couch on same side as the steps, and TV on other side of RV with dresser, you'd be adding more functionality because steps prevent you from using that area. You would never need to use slide either. I totally agree with trading dresser and drawers for unused dinette

    Eric you are looking good...maybe that California sunshine is agreeing with you. I think it's great that you are showing people that you can make your rv truly a home that fits your needs without concern of taking away value from your investment. Your cabinet coming in early to the store you randomly stopped at...good karma. I like that you did these renovations/upgrades as 1 video.
