You've been on the road long enough to know that negative people aren't worth listening to. Those that enjoy your videos, myself being one of them, will continue to follow your travels!!!
@Nomadic Fanatic, I love the idea of changing the Coachmen logo, but not "Catman"... it should say "Jaxman!
Yeah Jaxman!! for sure!!
That's what I thought too! Jaxman!
Yes! That is "purrfect"! :)
Absolutely!
HEY!!! I was gonna say that!!!! LOL!!
I really like these decals a lot better then the other ones you’ve had in the past! You get your point across, without it being “ in your face”, so to speak. Love that!
Don't forget, must see Jax every video!! Love the decals!!
The only reason I found you is that I saw you driving through my town and had to check you out on youtube, have watched almost every video of yours since then, keep on keeping on man.
Great way to grow a channel 🙂
Good advertising and free!
So...advertising on the RV works!
I can appreciate how you've made your RV your own.
To me this looks much better than the old RV decals.
Agree, it looks great!
I have to agree that he is good at organizing. Plus i love how much of a big kid he is too.. He enjoys life.
Lots!
Old decals were so tacky and rubbish looking.
@@orcaflotta7867 I hav to say the previous decals were ok.
The last one screamed out NF. Just too much.
Love it! I remember how I felt when I got my van signage to advertise my pet grooming salon. So exciting. I had the perferated signage over my windows as well. Loved it!
Serious overkill using 2x4's, 1x4's would have worked fine. There's closet hanger add ons that double your hanging space even add a lower roll.
Happy Cat Father's Day! Jax is one lucky kitty to have you for his Dad.
Awesome new logo look, love the palm trees ringed around the bottom. Also like the Jaxman replacement idea on the Coachman logo.
I really love how self-sufficient and inventive you are. Always admired how much you can take care of on your own.
Glad to see you in such a mellow and happy mood. Seems like you are adjusting to your new norm well. Being in home territory can't hurt either.
Safe travels and thanks so much for sharing beautiful Washington state with us.
Well said 👍
I myself do not worry about the length of your Vblogs because you always have great conversation and fascinating activities. Please give Jax a scratch behind the ears for me thanks.
Mobile billboards are a gift. Well done. High gloss black is the crown jewel of colors on vehicles.
I remember watching you in the old school van. Goes to show you that you gotta do what you love and not care what others think. I'm now a trucker as of 3 months ago. Life on the road is great haha I learned a ton from your videos also it gave me the edge. Having internet as a trucker blows people away. thanks for that! Keep up the great work!
Don't listen to those viewers who tell you not use your RV to promote your channel. Your doing the right thing take every opportunity to build and grow your channel. I wish you the very best.
Happy Father's Day Eric, Jax loves his daddy!
Wow, you really do have a lot going on! Nice changes. You are right: the new decals do fit in well with the colors of the coach. Looking good!
Eric, you REALLY do provide quite a bit of valuable information for the traveler, whether you're a nomad, road warrior or weekender. Also, your info is unique, pretty much unlike many of the others on UA-cam, with the exception of one or two other channels. Jax is a wonderful added bonus. :)
Great looking decal...Keep up the good work.. Jax on vacation?
Awesome, Eric!! I was sad when you removed all the “As seen on UA-cam “ wrap!! Love the channel and your humor!
Oh & we just bought our RV it's an old one!! It does need ALOT of work, have to gut it out, & build the inside the way we want it, SO in a year or so WE'll be joining the RV life!!!! LOVE YOU BOTH!!!!
Oh yeah, love the decals! Perfect! I love how you can just fix anything. I would have thought you'd have to just trash the whole security camera thing and start over.
New decals have a classic look- love your idea about replacing dog image with Jax. Great seeing you enjoy Miranda
Wow, that looks amazing!!! Love it!!! But add a pic of Jax please!!! Stay safe!!! Give Jax a kiss on his nose for me!! 💖💖💖
I have watched you since the beginning and look where you are now!! You persevered and showed all what a dream can become! Wonderful decals. As others have pointed out, a Jax decal on the passenger side. RV life wouldn't be the same without your trusty sidekick! 😃🐈
Great art on your rig. I like it. “Late to bed, early to rise. Advertise....advertise...advertise....”
ERIC....I LOVE IT! Thank you for showing us the window from the inside. That is crazy, I couldn't see it at all!
Nice decals Eric!
I mounted our security camera control box with the hard drive on a shock mount when I installed it due the the unit having a hard drive and I knew that wouldn’t play well with the vibrations. So far it has held up to the vibrations of travel. Safe travels!
That DOES blend in so well with Miranda’s stripes. YES Jax should have his own decal on the back 😊👍🏻 His stripes would look good in that color theme you’re using. JAX MAN RULES and love the windshield logo
Jax should have his own channel!
place a decal of jax chasing the dog
Best idea ever!
Ha ha that would be great!
i like it!
I can’t believe how far you’ve come from that first video years ago. What a wonderful & inspiring journey❤️
I really like the new decals! Great fix on the closets. We changed our closet to shelving. It works great!
Thank you thank you. Just gave me an idea for my Toy Hauler. But the awesome way you did it, I think I can get away with 1X4 vertical support. You're awesome Eric. Truly a blessing in our life.
Indeed 🤭
Love all the new logos Eric! They look so nice! Never say you are sorry a video is too long, we all wish they were longer! Safe travels.
I think having a decal is good Eric. I saw your RV (the Tioga) at a small Walmart in Southern Maine and have been subbed since. Keep up the good work!
the decals look great and the closet upgrade is genius
I really like this look of this. Much better than the last one.
Hello from me and my kitten Willow! Another awesome video. Thanks eric and give Jax a big hug from us.
Love the decals. Please make one for Jax. He is such a big part of your channel, and we all love him. =)
I love your videos Eric!!! I admire your handyman skills and your ability to jump right in there and fix just about anything you can.
The new graphics look great! They get the message out without being in -your-face. I like the closet mod. I would suggest rather than 2x4 yellow pine, go with 1x4 cedar. 1x4 is plenty strong enough to accomplish your goal and cedar gives a nice scent while repelling moths.
And half the weight
I have to admit, it does really look very good!
You're a rock star Eric.
Had the same closet issue several years back when I was full-timing in a 5th wheel…mine was a massive closet that went all the way across the front end of the rig!
I like when you show your upgrades/mods and show when something isn't quite working for you. I found you about 6 months back on an older video where you showed your apartment style washing machine. I haven't seen it in any since. What are you doing for laundry these days? Could you do a follow up on that topic? Thanks!
Edit - @Nomadic Fanatic
Jack's does need his place on the rig. The decals do look good.
That looks a lot better than how your previous RV ended up looking like. More tasteful. It blends in better.
SPOT ON...with the new artwork, decals & rear window !!
Lol I can’t stop replaying “always wear eye protection blah blah blah” 😂😂😂
🐈👍
Yeah I giggled too!
If there's a gap between the top panel of the closet and tge ceiling, laybthe 2x4 (or 1x4, etc.) OUTSIDE the closet as bracing, and screw it down to the top of the closet. Then, screw the metal bar back into the roof of the closet inside into the new hidden support. Much cleaner, and won't see any boards inside taking up valuable space. Great channel!!!!
Lots of good mods here, man. Thanks for showing us how it’s done.
I would have gone with 1”x4” uprights in the closets, but, your 2”x4”s will stand the test of time.
Roll On
Your logo is totally attractive & looks apsolutely perfect.
I like the new decal / logo! I would have gone with 1x4 instead of the clunky 2x4... the 2x4's are a little overkill.
Oh, yay! Looking good Miranda! Like the Jax decal idea-- that would be awesome! Nice repairs Eric! You make it look easy! Cheers brother!
I would like to say Happy Father's Day to you for being a great dad to Jax Man!
Excellent sentiment. He is indeed!!!! 👍😊😸
The new logo and graphics look AMAZING, especially the back one!
Hi Eric Remove the dog and replace with Jax. Looks great.
Looks GREAT! I see that Jax approves as well. Love you guys 💕
Airstream is the best quality travel trailer on the market. You won’t ever find yourself fixing any design flaws in their units. In my opinion anyway. But they also hold their value. Goes without saying I know. But for the rest of us , there is forest river, coachmen, keystone. Etc..... I love seeing your modifications to the things in your RV that needs special attention. Stove rattling, slide out teeth fixing, replacing your couch. It makes for great content 😻
Looks so awesome. Keep living the life and thank you for the videos.
I laughed so hard when you opened that closet door! So many little things... you're really never done! Great decals by the way - the best yet, I think!
Your rv fixes are always right on point the first time cool!
Love it Eric.... been watching you for years. Will always be one of my favorite UA-cam channels 👍🏻👍🏻
Great fix and I didn't think the video was to long , like it, leaned something today .. Safe Travels you two .
Eric you do what you got to do so you can gain as many viewers as possible I love the new look awesome for you and Jax's Thank you.
I WATCHED THIS VIDEO TWICE. TO BUILD UP MY OWN CLOSET WHEN ITS TIME! LOL! KEEP SMILING ERIC! 👍😇"🖑" HI JAX!
❤💋❤
Hey I watched some of your early videos from 5 years ago you have come along way since then congrats 🎉🍾🎊🎈
I watched some as well.
Eric, it looks FANTASTIC ! I was thrilled for a longer video.
Definitely one of your better upgrades!! Seriously the right way to go!
The decals are so much better than any other you have had on your RV's!! Especially the back window! If I ever choose to decal my future RV, it will be with window decals! Thanks for sharing the repairs! I agree with Daniel Vining, you should change the Coachman logo to Jaxman! :) Relax with your friends and see you in the next video! Give Jax a belly rub from his fans here in the Midwest! God bless!
Love, LOVE the new logo! Anyone who criticizes is only jealous. Keep on being you! Love following your wandering! Be happy. Be safe!
Decals look great! Love the detail and design. It really does blend in with the original graphics well.
Hi Eric, I think you are right to advertise on the RV. To me that speaks good business sense. It looks terrific. Every nomads that has a UA-cam channel or other travel business have their channel on their rig. Good idea. 😊
Thanks Eric for sharing your updates on your Rv, looks great, be safe traveling, love ya and Jax
I prefer the longer videos and the fix it/maintenance videos. But I am sure the fixing things get old after a while, but upgrades are different and more satisfying than fixes.
really enjoy watching you figure things out, and getting it done. Love the new decals.
I think since you have grown up so nicely, I feel advertising is a wonderful thing
I hope to meet you and Jax someday. Would love to see Jax's picture on Miranda.
Jax is on the decal. I have the first decals. Love Jax.
LOVE THE NEW LOOK! Yes yes yes, catman & Miranda do it do it do it!
Love love love the new logo on Miranda!! Great video and fix it info. You're smiling from ear to ear !! Great to see that smile !!
The safety glasses bit was perfect.
I love the decals and creative changes to the RV.
Great Move Eric! This is what make you such a great UA-camr!
I bent my closet poles in my trailer and my son built me a free standing closet system with pipes. He just got the correct lengths of pipe and screwed them together and I have a free standing base and pole going up and another one going across to hang the clothes on. I had thought I was doomed before he invented that. Yours is very strong looking too. My trailer is flimsy too and a 12' x 40' wide is not meant to tow down the road so even living in ones are not that strong but it is rather old so it did last a long time before me. I may have overloaded it. tee hee. Your home is really beautiful and the theatre seats and ultra large tv is awesome. I have a 55" and thought that was big. I cannot get over how small that size looks in the stores now and large it is inside of here. Your advertisement logos are quite impressive. Sure does look like a Classy Class A.
The new graphics look awesome on Miranda! Love the retro logo as well. Solid repairs,as always, Eric. Safe travels. Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
Graphics look awesome!!! I like the new ride 👍🏼
You should add a pix of Jax on bottom little window and you on top of passenger side where the bunks are!!
PopsAndAlly Good suggestion. I had not read the Comments when I posted mine.
PopsAndAlly that's a wonderful idea. I hope he reads his comment and takes the idea to heart.
Jax's is the STAR ⭐️ of the videos. We love ❤️ our Jax's
Absolutely brilliant idea!!!!! Do it Eric!
Eric, your not a sell out. You are just doing marketing. What any business has to do to exist.
ABSOLUTELY! 👍
love the decals on this rv much better then the last one … last one looked more like a rental rv
That back window really does look fantastic. Now I'm thinking about what we could do like this on our motorhome!
Love the nostalgic look of the logos. Great closet fix. Hugs to Jax.
Your rig looks wicked, I love your vids keep up the great work. Your getting so close to 200K subs. I remember how pumped you were at 100K
😁
You really really help us all with super content. Thank you
Happy Catfather Day!! Keep up the good and great entertainment!!! Bless y'all!!!
I am looking forward to the changes you will make in the bunkhouse. It has always been an interest of mine to see how these areas are changed to a good workspace.
The new decals are totally awesome!! If I ever see you out and about I will definitely something hello. Hope you have some great adventures!!!
I came across Office Drift last year from an RVers Facebook group and it's a very good informative site. Highly recommended! 👍🙂
The one on the front is AWESOME.
Awesome upgrades! I love the longer videos!
LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Piss on the people that think you are self promoting, if you don't who will? Enjoy the road and stay safe.
Nothing wrong with promoting your business, has nothing to do with ego. Smart move.
The decals are SWEET. You really did good on that.
Looks Awesome !!! Good upgrades to your closets simple and easy and also to your security system. Keep up the great videos and stay safe.
Advertisement for your channel looks awesome! You should add some giant cat paw prints going up the side of your vehicle as well. 😃🐾🐾🐾
