Вставка

- John and I recently visited Carlsbad, California and met up with 2 new 2020 Pleasure Way Ascent owners. We got some great ideas from both about organizing their vans as well as registering a vehicle in California.

Robertson screws invented in Canada.🇨🇦 The square hole in the head, gives equal pressure on all sides when driving or removing the screw. The sizes of the screwdrivers are colour coded for easy identification when searching for them in your tool bag. There are 6 colours but the basic are Yellow, Green, Red and Black. A much better screw than the Phillips.
ken petersen in the uk they mostly use them for screwing duct work together, drywall use Phillips and everyone else uses pozidrive
You are a natural with your interviews. Each one is informative.
I bless you Debbie & John with joy, peace, love and your YT Channel.
Thanks for stopping by Debbie and John. Susie and I had a great time!
You guys are great fun and I enjoy seeing you be the guinea pig on gadgets.;-))
@@FromShetoMe I have some new stuff to show you next time :)
Great tips- I love the organization of the van. I jotted down several products and hope to find them for our RV.
Another awesome video. Great storage ideas!! We will definitely put those ideas to use. The Rode wireless go mic sounds great. Thank you so much.
We really like these videos! Please keep them coming.
Great info and ideas we will incorporate. Nice people.
What a fun, informative video and nice people! We will be using several of the storage ideas in our 5er! See you soon, BroD
Julia and all just left for Bakersfield; they'll be back with more guests for one more night. Love having them here but we are having some painting done so they had to suffer through fumes last night. I made it up to Michael with extra bacon.
Great stuff! I took notes... Thanks Debbie, love your videos.
I have absolutely enjoyed watching your videos the last few days. My husband is not keen on getting a campervan however, for the past three years I’ve been studying all about them, and rented a few, and so far so good. We’re in Seattle, from seal beach, so watching your videos makes me miss home in California a lot. I think this campervan will be my hobby, and my husband has his racing cars as his. It would be fun to do together though. I love how you gather all kinds of amazing ideas from everyone. I’ve made notes. Thank you.
Thanks. Yep. Van life isn’t for everyone but I applaud you for following your dream. There are groups you can join for solo women travelers that may be of interest.
Thanks for the video and ordered the under cabinet stowaways and like the hammock carrier. Looked at the table top before, but a bit pricey so had a friend make me a nice aged wood one for my Laguan table.
WOW, love the ideas of some of the gadgets!
Some really great organizational tips!
I started following you for the information on Alaska, but I've found your posts on upgrading your van and the equipment you use very helpful. I'm just bought my camper van a week ago and your videos have been invaluable in setting it up. Thanks for taking the time to post your ideas.
You are most welcome. How exciting to be setting up your new rig and heading out on great adventures. Best of luck.
More great tips! Keep up the great videos!
Mark great organization. So much supplies but doesn’t crowd the van. Tks
Thanks!
Even after 100 miles the computer/check engine light does not reset. Without the reset, it will not pass the Smog Check. Hoehn Mercedes gave me new headlight bulbs.
Thank you for all the great organizational tips and ideas (my Amazon cart is FULL!). We just purchased a 2008 Pleasure Way and are brand new to RV so I find your videos very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
My advice is not to buy more than you absolutely think you need to start. It's fun to figure it out as you go and your "needs" will change. Hope you have a blast.
Always love your videos!!
we bought our 2017 LTV Unity FX from a private party in Vermont. I did not want to wait 8-10 months for a new one. It was 9 months old with 2500 miles on it. We flew to Vemont and drove it back home to Anaheim. Buying a vehicle out of state is nightmare in California. However, if you have AAA, they cn the do all of the CMV stuff.
Good tip. That alone would be a reason for someone to join. We've been members for decades and bought their RV roadside service which came in handy on our trip to Florida.
SO helpful!!!!!! Awesome info!!!!!!!
So very helpful. Thanks
Great video. Thanks
In Oklahoma you have to bring the vehicle to the
tag Agency so they can double check the VIN numbers to the title.
In KY, you have to take your vehicle of any kind to the DMV to transfer it. They inspect all numbers and check your lights etc.
Good to know. Thanks.
Gotta love California
I was expecting Mark to pull a 45 out of one of those bags!
I thought the same thing! Still think he just didn’t pull from that particular pocket😂
LOL
Please tell me more about that suction handle in the bathroom! Thank you!
I purchased one myself and it is incredibly strong. Very useful to pull yourself up in a tight space: www.amazon.com/dp/B0006FHB5Q/?ref=exp_fromshetome_dp_vv_d
I was referring to the inside of the gentleman's 2020 Ascent.
When we can find decent cell service again I will see if I can get the link.
Great storage ideas. Is there any chance that you got a brand/model for the headliner cargo netting.

Just a warning about leaving your van stocked with food: I suggest omitting items that can attract rodents (like pancake mix.) After leaving my Pleasureway Lexor parked for a couple of weeks, I discovered that a mouse had found his way in and had feasted on some sunflower seeds (in an unopened sealed container!) that I was storing there. And they were in an upper cabinet!
Yuck. Another Lecture owner told me a similar story.
I may just be missing it, but can you post the link to those white waterproof storage bags he use for flip flops (and several other items)? Thanks!

Some great products to enhance RV travel! Great vid!
But... wait.... You couldn't do the smog inspection because of mileage, so you DROVE 100's of miles, using up fuel and emitting whatever pollution that causes, so you could get an inspection created to REDUCE smog? And did I hear right... this happens whenever disconnect the battery??
Am I missing something here??
I'm not sure if it is reset by a battery disconnect or what, but you have to have at least 100 miles on the rig. I ended up doing errands in the van and taking the long way in a few cases so it wasn't a complete loss. I don't know enough about smog tests to understand why you need 100 miles but you are right, it does seem a bit odd.
Great video. Do you know the name of the mesh-like holders over the seats? Also, did you say those snap type holders for his shoes were called snads? Are they screwed into the side or perhaps they are a suction devise? Thank you.
Snads have an adhesive backing that seems quite strong. Check out Sailrite.com for different versions.
Thanks so much. These are such a great idea. I have been fooling around with shoe storage forever.
I kept trying different word combos and this came up.

@@margaretwilson7659 OK, I found it: www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZCZHSY/?ref=exp_fromshetome_dp_vv_d
Thank you once again. I like the holders on the bathroom walls. Can you share a link or the name of the white holders?
Thank you again
Links are in Description box below video.
@@FromShetoMe Hi Debbie, Thank you for replying. I can not find it. ( I did look at the Amazon link and I now have lots of things in my cart). Sorry. Mark called it OB netting. He also had his flip flops in them. I looked for the netting and the snads. Very cool how organized he is.
@@rhondamccay83 They are called wet shower organizers: www.organizedobie.com/Get-Wet...
I'm actually going to try to make my own.
@@FromShetoMe That is wonderful. Want to make some extra? I am sure you hear that all the time. Where are you finding the snads?
do you have a link for them?
Thank you again. This is so fun.
Robertson screw drivers are the best - you don't know what you are missing in the US
I agree.
We have a new TS. I have a question, where do you store your fresh water and black water hoses? We are thinking about getting a swing away.
The black water hose has its own storage tube under the van adjacent to the clean out. We use a 25' Zero G hose for fresh water (you can see it on our Amazon Storefront--link in Description box) and store it in the small compartment of our rear door. You may or may not have one on your model.
We have the same for the black hose but we carry another regular hose to clean my black tank. Thanks for the idea for the amazon hose.
Sorry to hear you've chose california.
Good luck.
They moved here to be close to their grandkids.
If you've ever been to Watertown in the winter..... you would understand!!!
The cord case you are showing at 15:45 has two zipper pullers on it and is not the one you linked. Can you link where your friend got that case if it is still available. Thanks!
Unfortunately, it came with a set of iPhone cords.
I did find this one with two zip pulls: www.amazon.com/dp/B00KRURIEO/?ref=exp_fromshetome_dp_vv_d
@@FromShetoMe Thank you.
Where did you purchase the SNAD (?) suction cups for the bathroom?
Sailrite.com
Is there any chance that you got a brand/model of the seat back organizer?
I didn't but I'll ask Mark and get back to you.
It is three separate items and I have added the links in the description box. Here they are: www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZCZHSY/?ref=exp_fromshetome_dp_vv_d

Mr ocd everything in its place but never been used
Can you tell me what type of bike rack you have? We have 2 Rad bikes too and are looking for the swing away bike rack so we can open the back doors
We have a Wilco swing hitch that the Hollywood rack was on. But we have new bikes and the 1 Up rack.
@@FromShetoMe thanks so much. We just bought our first Pleasureway and have watched all your videos. Such fabulous advice.
We bought two Anything Keepers and mounted them with the adhesive. Next morning I discovered they'd come down the adhesive didn't hold. Did you have this problem?
No. Still strong on our rig. Do you have wood cabinets?
@@FromShetoMe No. We have the same cabinet as you. 🙃.
JoAnne Backman Hopefully the company will send replacement tape. They have come in handy on this trip. I did have to glue on the magnetic tabs on one of the units but so far they have held.
@@FromShetoMe Thank you. We really enjoy your videos and appreciate you sharing your experience. Happy travels.
@@FromShetoMe- FYI - Our solution. With some effort, removed the adhesive that came with the trays. Cleaned & dried the surface. Applied Gorilla Tape, be careful not to apply tape to the raised area where the magnets are. Surface must be even. They've been up for two full days now. I think we're good to go.
Please tell me more about the snads.
If you go to the Sailrite website, you will find tons of great tutorials on all their products. They have one demonstrating installation on a boat that might be helpful. Or just go to their UA-cam channel and click on their videos tab. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.
Thanks for great info.
We are new van owners! Went to organizedobie and cannot find the shoe organizer as in this video. Would you have the style name or number? They are great!! Thank you
It’s called 10x24 get wet organizer.
Only holds flip flops though.
It seems like he stored more than flip flops on the bathroom? Are those the same organizers?
@@michelleamiel7427 They are the same unless you are referring to the one above the toilet. I do not know what that one is.
What mpg does your rv get?
With the bigger tires we get 18-19.
Everyone is leaving
New York ...... but, NOT for California....
That's like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire......lol
Grand kids are the attraction. 😁
In the us how long you can drive/stay in a state without changing your plates from a different state?
If the state is not your residence, then you don't have to change plates. If you are actually moving to California, then you have 10 days from when you establish your residence to register your vehicle.
@@FromShetoMe New residents must obtain their driver license and vehicle registration within 30 days of moving to Nevada.

@@H.pylori That seems like a more appropriate amount of time than 10 days.
