Holy Cow, I hope you guys don't move that often. There are many more improvements you could do to make that process MUCH easier! I'm glad you found a way to make it work for YOU. Bless your souls for all the work you do to make that space and then fold it-up again on every trip.
I would not say that is “a lot” of work, but I do see why you would want to stay a week or more at at time and not bounce around every few days. Wonderful versatility for sure!
OMG You guys did that three times just for us..... nice!!! I am sure it takes less time when not filming, but wow, that's a lot of work. Great video as always.
I've been binge watching your episodes, learning so much along the way. On another note, I would love to see an episode of how you cook/eat while on the road that helped you lose weight. You look amazing and I always find travel the hardest time to eat healthy.
You are such a awesome couple, You two right up there with Phil and Stacy. Happy days.
That garage is a great versatile area. We love the fact that you can have a workspace and a nice deck to sit on when you're not working
Not working? What's that about? Sounds fun. LOL
@@ChangingLanes hahaha my bad!!
Big task to move around...(more so than those who are just camping/vacationing). But/And it's part of your job(s). So no biggie. Good on y'all for making this work!
Man, that's quite an office. One thing I noticed - the tie-downs on your camper floor. We had those in our last camper, a Raptor. They would not hold - several pulled out of the floor and allowed the bike to tip. Watch those very carefully and ensure they stay solid. Those Wheeldock units are OUTstanding. We have two and use them often - never had a failure and they really hold the bike well. I can heartily recommend those. You two are quite inventive. I love to view your videos.. Best wishes.
On the Momentums, they add steel plates welded to the frame under the tie downs... We've had the D-ring bend over time but never come out. You can see how they're built here: ua-cam.com/video/1OEcfhBfIlI/v-deo.html
Tara, Navy Blue is definitely the right color for you, and I love the slippers.
Frick'n AWESOME!!
( WHERE HAVE I HEARD THAT BEFORE??)
You did all this just to shower really appreciate you, thanks a lot. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
"Remove before Flight" keychain tags for the pins would be a nice touch. Would also be a visual aid.
My thoughts exactly. Given your background Chad I would have expected that there would be Remove Before Flight tags all over you rig.
The curved monitor is a must have. I grabbed the 50 inch samsung - game changer for the Final Cut Pro timeline, and coding, too! Those floating desks are AWESOME. I did not see that coming.
omg!!! thanks for this video! i've been looking at a toy hauler to use as a video production editing suite for all the 360 VR footage we make. didn't realize you created a standup desk in the process..brilliant!!!
I’ve watched many of your videos and really enjoy them, but this video is the one that hits the bullseye for me. I’m still in the planning/research stage. I’ll be an empty nester I about 18 months, but the issue of toys and working full time while RVing has been the biggest challenge for me to figure out. I think you just showed me how I should do so. Thank you so much for taking all of the time to put this video together!!!
I got tired just watching Chad do the setup,you guys are just awesome.✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
Love the flexibility of a toy hauler garage. Thanks for the video.
Wife wants a hat like Tara’s, is that y’all’s merch?
It’s satisfying watching the precision in which these tedious tasks get accomplished. Great episode guys!
Hi! You can find that in the "Apparel" section of our Amazon store here: amzn.to/2GehUOi
She also just cuts holes in regular hats to make them pony-tail-able.. 😎
Wow! Awesome! So organized! I love watching all your videos!
Wicked COOL, in-depth, video of your "multiple" configurations, and hoe you "adapt" to travel mode, guest mode, office mode ..... It's a LOT of work, but I have to say It's also Genious
Wow, y’all really care about us viewers, to go through all that. Thank y’all!
I love how the desks can be used standing also. I got a standing desk option at work (pre-Covid) and loved it.
who gives a fuck covid has been on for 3 *YEARS!*
That was a lot of work for the video. It shows the great versatility of the Momentum. Thanks for showing it.
This is a very useful video. The things you have figured out to make the garage conversion and the office setup as seamless as possible are ingenious and extremely useful.
The only problem I have with this video (like last week!) is you are really messing with our plans! Every time we get to the point that we think we know what RV we want, you come up with ideas that make us reevaluate what we’re thinking! 😜
Also, Daisy’s bed is much bigger than her. She’s a princess and you need to learn your place. That is her RV and home and you are her servants and tenants, so move her bed yourselves! She’s got you trained. 😂
First, you don't put Daisy's bed back, but you threaten to give her a BATH!!!! you two are the absolute limit. be safe you guys, take care.
GREAT outtakes!!! Keep up the good work!!
You folks just confirmed our decision to go 5th wheel toy hauler to be a great pair for our ford alumiduty as our continuous full-time rig on the road...thank you! Also, t.h. might be a good choice just incase i will get an itch down the road to get back into two wheel old friend again(indian is on the top list or maybe a harley again) Great job on the video. Safe travels and greetings from the Las Vegas valley...
Love ALL of your videos. Thanks for doing this one. I plan to set up an office/work studio just like this. We haven't moved in yet and I'm looking forward to working in the office with the patio down.
Thank you for the tour and the versatility of your office space, come garage, come sleeping quarters; your are a very patient couple and very talented. Cheers from Oz down under.
I have a 395M and use the garage as my office / laundry / storage. Rigged my desk similar to how y'all have it here. Works great! Working full time remote from the RV and loving it!
Looks like a pain in the ass to pack everything up each time! Thanks for showing me this. I think I'll figure out a different office solution for myself.
What a cool vid guys. Appreciate the trouble y’all went through to show it all. Tara, just wanted you to know that I personally care about your comfort. Having said that I’d probably crank down the AC too! But I’d get you a nice cozy blanket, some furry slippers, and some hot cocoa. 😜 I’m glad Chad mentioned Lucille being a bit dirty. It gives me another chance to request a video on how Chad details her after riding. He’s so precise with everything I’d like to see how he does it and what he uses. Just an idea. Thanks for the great vid and again for all the trouble. Troy
Agreed. I also really would like to see a video where Chad walks us through his thought process as he rides the bike in and out of the garage. There’s a point at which reaching the ground is difficult. What’s the approach going in? Where’s the “keep going” zone? How do you deal with that backing out? It took me a few videos to realize that the reason Chad starts the bike coming out is that by putting the bike in 1st and having the clutch in, he has a “pull it forward” backstop if he has a balance issue going backwards. If you have a 900+ lb bike, you know how important that is. My H-D Road Glide Ultra weighs 950lb and I have a fairly good idea of how difficult this is and how easy Chad makes it look! The detailed loading tips would be really useful.
What a set up you guys. Well done.!!
Looking into purchasing an RV, but starting a sublimation graphic gifts and apparel business. This office would be in the garage so this video was great information. We love watching you guys! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
This video is one of my favorites! It confirmed that my next RV is going going to be a momentum. I ride motorcycles 🏍 similar to Chad. Plus im tired of clearing off my table of work stuff to eat dinner.
All I can say is thank you! The effort you both put into it is much appreciated it. Please keep up the good work, your videos are so inspiring. God bless you both.
Hats Off to you guys! If I (Lou) have move 1 bin more than once I freak out.
Having said that very versatile.
Lou & Angie
Good Job Daisy! Good guard dog!
Thanks, it’s a good idea for a basic set up. For us, it’s a bit of a more complicated set up, because we both need separate office space for our jobs. In example, my hubby works in DevOps. He uses 4 monitors, plus has meetings throughout the day. I work in risk management, use 2 monitors and lots of phone calls throughout the day. So, we need something a bit more custom/specialized. The good thing is that we don’t have any toys nor are interested in any. So that would be a more permanent set up.
After seeing your original video on making this office, last spring, I converted my garage as well... hands down the best modification I made. Works great! Thanks again for the videos.
Awesome video guys. Great office space. If the boss says you have to come in on Saturday, you have a great office right down the hall.
That’s really cool! Our garage is a guest room once a year and a kennel for our Great Danes the rest of the time. Thanks for taking the time to share how to done!
Thanks for this video. That took a lot of work and was very informative. Very nice setup!
Hi Chad if get a longer monitor arm n mount 6 inches to right u can swing out towards the blinds u would not have disconnect just swing out.Great video guys thank u tom.
Multi purpose room is the whole reason we ended up going with a toyhauler too. We use the cheap automotive style storage chests from Walmart. The wheels on them helped move them around a little bit. We also have two ikea metal cabinets that can be wall mounted but we have them stacked and bolted together for the floor. It sets against the front wall when we're stationary and moves to the side and straps down when we load the RZR.We also added pegboard behind the living area door and installed 2 wooden cabinets between the upper bunk and loft. It took a while to find those cabinets as they had to be a particular measurement.
Yes,. good for you guys , enjoy life.
Just wanted to tell you guys how much I enjoy watching your videos. I have been watching y’all for awhile now, and just wanted to let you know how awesome your videos are. Thanks for all the good information y’all put out.
☺️ Thanks so much, Mark!!
Absolutely great video this week. I love that daisy is getting more air time. That wide open run from the bedroom to the office was great.
Great video. Definitely shows the versatility of a toy hauler in practical ways I hadn’t considered before. 👍🏻
Great video Chad and Tara!
The time you put into the small details of your setup and take down process was time well invested. You provide so much more in managing the lifestyle than can be put in words. Much appreciated. 😎
Girl, You GOOD with your glasses on. Yes you guys have a nice setup.
Excellent video, and wonderful office setup. The office is small, but not so small that you look like you are crowded in, but by the same token, not so large that it's overbearing. Very, very nice setup system.
This is the best usage of the toy hauler I seen in all the videos I have watched. Good job
Thanks for watching! 😊 Hope you check out the rest of our channel. 👍🏼
I love that desk setup!
Wow,epic video !the effort is appreciated,you guys have hands down the best fifth wheel toy hauler ever and as a bonus the color matches your motorcycle!!😎
Love your videos. We have a bumper pull 28' toy hauler (for now!) And we both work from home. We usually haul in desks. This is a cool solution. We can't wait to upgrade and get a dedicated garage!
Thanks for watching! 😊 Welcome to our channel!
So cool we ran across your video as we await the arrival of our 350G!! We don't need a office but are going to use ours as a family/dining room. Our garage will be 14.5 ft. The toy? A golf Cart we will take with us to Florida for the winter! We will post our videos soon! Thanks for sharing!!
A very awesome and informative video. A great idea and executed perfectly.Never know what you're going to do next. Loved it.Go Navy
Loved it! Your original office remodel video is how I found you guys. I was at one time considering a bold move to take my job on the road when there was an ownership change at my company. I didn't know what our future was going to be, so I was prepping some career change options just in case. I had a hell of a entrepreneur plan I still may do, but not just yet. Your office is perfect for my mobile needs and you continue to inspire me to take the leap! .... someday.
Just awesome! Thank you so very much for the time, effort, and energy it takes to share your talent and knowledge! 👍🏻🥇
Toy hauler is so versatile. Hope you enjoy your company
Very much enjoyed all the time you took on this episode. If I can pull it off a toyhauler is something I could really do.
So multi functional, very nice use and set-up. Thanks for sharing.
I greatly appreciate the time and the attention to detail while demonstrating each function, option and your cliff notes. Solid helpful content. You guys rock!
Thanks!
I’m loving this video! Especially the functionality of one room!!! That’s awesome!!
Were starting out with travel trailer till kids get big then class c or toy hauler
Fabulous video - I learned so much! Thank you.
Great Video, thanks for taking the time.
I love the bloopers.... I was thinking why didn't you film on a take down day, on a set up day for the guest bed, and on a arrival day..... It seemed like alot of work for a video.... but I don't care you two are precious.... If I ever run into you I'll make sure to say hi.... Hugs from Minnesota be safe and stay healthy. P.S. My 3 puppies need baths too!!!! (Shih Tzu/ Poodles)
Love this!!! The space is so versatile! We have thought about getting a toy hauler in the future for an office space! It was great to see the set up you guys have very impressive!! Thanks for sharing this we may take some of those ideas in the future too! ~ Maggie and Brandon
Fantastic tour and thank you Chad as I know this was very time consuming.
Great use of space. Hopefully can do some longer stays away from home one day while working remotely and you guys are the best of coming up with ways to make it easy. Yes, Chad the Wheeldock is great. Have one for the Wing and she stays in place. Be safe
This video was so helpful and informative!
I haven’t purchased my RV yet, but watching the videos that you guys put out, has definitely helped me to narrow down my choices and have a better idea of the interior possibilities.
Love all of your videos! The fact that you did this vid just for us Is appreciated. You two are awesome!
I'm exhausted just watching!
Hi chad i get it works .i was just thinking i saw u use the pins i thought that would be n easy way to attach n detach the stilt .
Graet videos keep them coming.👍
I just got my office desk lamp as you recommended, and it is SUPER!!! Thanks for the info.
Glad to help! 😀
we just got our 2022 Momentum 351M-R and love it even though we wanted the 397, I did not want to upgrade the truck and we cant fit the 397 in our driveway. Hopefully one day we will meet up with you guys, I like to fix and tinker with things like Chad, my wife is more like Tara....Stay safe out there, awesome video, I will add the Bed system is sort of pain in the butt, but we dont mind, gives us a lot of options.
I think this is amazing!! I believe how I first found you was a video about the office/desk!! More videos like this - no matter how long!
I’ll admit, that is a lot of work. I’m impressed by what you have done. I think I’ll keep to my simple shorter 34’ fifth wheel. But I don’t work on the road.
Wow! We're looking ahead to an RV purchase, with the need for an office. Thank you for such an informative video!
What a process... worth it to be full time RVers, ☺
Oh and I love your rig....
Yeah bed head...friends of ours call it Pillow Head before the shower happens. Love the Internet Command Center plan. It's amazing how much camera gear is needed. Moving and storing Gigabyte/Terabyte files is quite a task if you don't have 1/giga or 10/giga network cards/switches. You've got the garage modified to work out just right, nicely done. Cheers.
Our local network is Gig-E. 👍🏼
@@ChangingLanes Here too. A few years ago I ran CAT6 under my home and routed home runs to each bedroom, living room, kitchen nook and the detached garage in back. I have a WiFi Gateway from Fios in the garage, point of entry, and routed two CAT6 lines to a Netgear WiFi Gateway in a clothes closet centrally located in the house. The second line is a back up. From there, hardwired the house, all gigabit. Works really good for WiFi and the hardwired obviously for items that don't move like TV's and desktop stations. Can't figure out why cell phones will not disconnect from one WiFi that is close by and then no longer is close to that one but is closer to the other WiFi. It takes a long time for that transition and both have been set up with different channels. That's the only tiny issue and I can share files from computers to computers just perfectly as one computer has the large hard drives while the others are set up with SSD/NvME storage. Terminated all of the home runs myself after learning the color code I wanted. Microsoft messed this up however as the new annual updates no longer allow computers to be seen when browsing the Network. I have to type in the computer names to get access, no more computers being populated by default. NetDisc is enabled too.
We have the "pinless" system in our 351M and it works great. Now if they can come out with a way to raise and lower the top bed without having to raise and lower the lower couch/bed system, that would be yuuuuuge!
That would be great... Would require a second chain and a thicker mount for it, but it sure seems doable.
I appreciate your time creating your videos. Great Job!!
Y’all are amazing!
That was a lot of work. But very informative. Thanks
Love your videos and enjoyed meeting you both and Daisy, too.
Peter and Susan Carras
Thanks Peter! Hope you guys are having fun! 😃
@@ChangingLanes
I wanted to ask you why you never had any videos on maintenance on tow vehicles. I constantly am checking my transmission temperature because they say the temperature should not go over 200°. I switched to Amsoil transmission because of its lubrication properties and that it can withstand higher temperatures compared to other fluids. Amsoil has some VERY good videos. Love to hear your comments on this.
Not much to say in that arena.. We take it to Ford and do whatever they say... LOL I do have them use synthetic (Amsoil) whenever available...
@@ChangingLanes
I guess I am more fussy about the maintenance and do much of it myself. I am constantly watching the Temps and all the tire pressures. The single lady that knows you in the Park said you did a video on a plug in device that monitors many other things like turbo temperature etc. Could not find the video. Anyway if you're ever in Jupiter FL call me I'll take you fishing.

Whew........that looks like a lot of work!
Love your videos! You're inspiring me to buy a fifth wheel😎 now just to talk my husband into it😀
Nice. We did the same with our garage and removing the bottom bunk to turn it into a moveable desk.
Great video guy's!
I have the same light bar. Works great 👍
Awesome RV guys! Got to admit I'm a little tired after watching that . You guys are hard workers . Nice camera work Tara. Hey little Daisy!
Hi guys, love watching you two. Great space for sure! Thanks for sharing this lot of work but enjoy your life style.
Alot of work so thank you... Another great video as always..! Be safe take care...!
Thank you for your wonderful video.
Oy, so much work and you make it look so easy!
You can use the 10tb external drive for the NAS also, remove it from the case, it is a whitelable WD Red Drive, much cheaper than buying the red ones!
Great video...more pre-buy research now though. Was locked on a GD 390 RK bit after this video we will be consider the toy hauler and flipped it to an office. If I can figure out sage fulltime internet, might move our plans up by years.
