Looks like a nice park. Thanks for the tour. 😊
Looks like you guys had a great time and whiskey!
We had a great time. Turns out the young lady that recommended the Woodford is staying at the campground.
Nice tour, good tase in whiskey! Like the TOTR sticker on the rig! We need a CIOWR sticker! 😁
Thanks, John. Someday I'll come up with a logo and send you some merch
we love that part too!!!
We're hoping to get 3 more this year. South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota
Hello Rich , we had to spend some winters in the pacific NW , and seeing your content last night , you’re video was very informative. I’ll check the Lippert video out also. Did you say it was a product called duo form slide ski? Has the product done its job for y’all. Being 4 years ago . Our make is a Keystone Montana. Did you purchase your product from e-trailer or Amazon or directly. Thanks for the info, your video was easy to follow. Thanks Ron
I purchased the ski through Alliance RV. I'll look and see if I can find another supplier for it and post in the description. The only name I've heard it called is nylon skis. So far it's been holding up very well. As soon as the weather warms up I'll be making a part 3 video. I want to add some of the other things I've learned
Nothing beats Family! Good for you guys!
Great surprise!! Only 6 more subscribers to hit 1k!!!!!!!
I just love that y’all surprised her.
Love love love that y’all were able to pull the surprise off. Also it was great seeing you guys
Great seeing y'all, too. I can't believe we were able to keep it a secret for ten months with all that knew. Hope to see you in Indiana
Thanks right to the point and no unless info
How did you get to Georgia without going through the other states
Our rule is we have to sleep overnight in the state before we can add the sticker. Pass throughs don't get a sticker.
@ I’m taking a motorcycle trip next year not having a sticker collection but I plan to hit 10 good spots in each state I go into
@cannaj875 wow! Sounds like quite the adventure.
You must be a glutton for punishment if you drive from Pa to Florida without an overnight. When we leave Pa for SC we stop about halfway.
@frankmitzen2008 I'm not that nuts, maybe in my younger days. Going down we did about 4 hours after work then drove to Savanna then onto central Florida. Coming back we stayed in Savanna for a week then drove to within 4 hours from home and did the last leg on day 2
Go to Delaware in the summer for the beaches ‼️‼️
Thanks Rich and Becky , I in joy your videos, will have to check it out!!! No pun intended 😊 looks like a cool place to go for a day trip
Yes, I highly recommend it. Being from the north I fond it very fascinating. Happy New Year
Hi Rich & Becky, Thanks for sharing . We lived in Lakeland for a year and a half. Circle B bar is amazing. The palm trees grow back, they turn yellow for many reasons, too much water, too little water, lack of nutrients or often the position the sun hits. When the big palm frons fall off we call that our fall. Lol So if you were allowed to go on the trail next to water you would have seen many wild animals , most amazing are the bald eagles that nest there. We can't forget Fabio the famous gator who is over 12 foot long and weighs over a thousand pounds. He's old and slow. He has been quite the celebrity and featured in many memes and Facebook posts and videos. We have comfortably walked right next to him on a few occasions . He's very slow but many over zealous people have visited him and not followed the rules. An important reason that the trails are closed could be it's mating season for alligators. If you happened to hear pig grunting noises don't go to investigate . Lol As you said the indoor museum is closed due to the holiday and that may be another reason the lake area was closed. Some people ruin it for everyone by bothering old Fabio so they lock the gate when there isn't enough employees to watch some people. I'm so glad you got to go visit. I'll gladly get in touch with the owners to set up a trip there if Becky's family or other guests from the Winter Haven park are interested in a hike there. Happy Travels FamALLY!
@gailmartin608 thanks Gail. You answered a lot of questions. Becky was right about the msting season. It truly is an amazing place. We'll talk to Becky's mom and see if her and some of her friends would like to check it out. Happy New Year
Hi Rich. I want to add a dimmer to the dining area in our 32rls. I pulled the toggle switch but only found two wires. How did you wire the 3 wire dimmer in that area?
Keep digging, they are there. I added one there plus one at the recliners
@checkingitoutwithrich5711 Will do. Thanks for the reply.
If you have an issue, pm me and I'll give you my number
@checkingitoutwithrich5711 Thanks. I didn't do any digging around. I just took a look at the back of the existing switch and noticed the three wires on the dimmer model. I will look harder.
@checkingitoutwithrich5711 I picked up a few switches and took another look. The other wires were just below the hole. I wired them up, my first time working with Wago's and I really liked them. I was a little intimidated by the four wires, but it is just a positive and negative with the switch in series for each. I used the polarity from my multimeter and got it on the first try. My only issue is that Alliance made a bigger hole behind the toggle switch, and the slimmer dimmer doesn't cover it completely so I will try and find a bigger bezel.
Got the same Pappy Step in my truck now. Just got my Beech Lane Tailgate Ladder to replace it.
I miss it as a stool, so I got one of them foldup step stools. Takes up no room and I use it all thr time
Love ours too! No more ant farts here. Lol Merry Christmas to you and Becky!
Merry Christmas to you and Cindy.
@@checkingitoutwithrich5711 It might leak .
Why is that?
Rich, I have had 3 of the portable Hughes Watchdogs burn up at the plug to where I’ve had to replace the plug 3 times. Hughes keeps sending me new ones. I am to the point where I’d never buy another one. Any thoughts?
Why wouldn't Alliance use proper skis to begin with?? Absolutely shameful!!
Great information. Would it be nice that after decades of slides outs that this company would do it right the first time?? I do own an (new) Alliance and after the slide going in and out no more that 10 times it has completely chewed up the paper thin ski. Yes I do have a comparison... 2012 (other brand) fifthwheel. We fulltimed for over 6-years straight around the United States (150 thousand miles). The four slides have been in and out no less than 650 times with absolutely no adjustments or errors!!
Yes, it's nice that they are using the nylon ones now. There's still some issues with them which I talked about in this video. I'll probably have an update coming out in the next couple of months. What model do you have?
You read my mind, was looking at doing this as well, thanks for the video now I know what I am getting myself into! Looks great when done, nice improvement! Thinking, not sure if I can get the metal ones for a 30RLS now....
Great work!
Very good upgrade to the Ave
Thanks Rich, our doors were a problem from day 1 because the trailer had been moved with the doors unsecured prior to our purchase. I used the binding bolts you showed in the picture. I think the tradesman I talked to called them "she bolts" I measured, went with 30mm, and they worked perfectly.
Yeah, I don't think they'll end up failing. I always knew them as unisex or sexbolts.
I have a tester and keep it in the driver’s door.
This was a great video. Electricity is not my friend so I stay away from it mostly. But I would definitely love to get better at doing mods like this for our rig.
Thanks so much for watching. The 12 volt side of electricity isn't that hard to comprehend. I've been wanting to do basic video on it for awhile. We're going to your neck of the woods over Christmas holiday maybe I'll put out a video then.
Great video Rich!
Good one Rich, thanks for the shout-out, our panels are 180deg to yours too. Nice job!
Thanks brother! Oddly enough, I used a wash her about the same size but didn't place it like you did by removing the two screws. Looks like an awesome quick permanent fix 💪
It's been over 2 years and no issues
@checkingitoutwithrich5711 Thank you for the tip brother! I did this today and my latches work perfectly!
Nice Fix…… Rich
Another great and informative video my friend.
Thanks Rich! I’ve been having the same issue, and debating on how to fix it. Looks like that will work perfectly!
Yea, I don't think I'll be messing with them again. Don't know what took me so long
Mine kept coming out also,, I used bolts, washers, lock washers and nuts,,, painted them black
The screws on my closet door barn rollers kept working loose. I cut a hole in the back of my doors and installed solid blocks of 2" X 4" ripped down to fit the door thickness, then I glued the blocks inside the door frame. I then reattached the rollers with wood screws. They haven't backed out since. Your way looks a lot faster.
Yea, a bit faster but if they end up backing out, I guess I'll take your route
hope u can get them on phone i can not
They're over the phone customer support is definitely lacking. I haven't had any trouble with email but is nice to talk to someone. Are you having an issue?
what is the convection/micro model number you purchased?
Countoure Appliance gave it to us. It's an older model. I'll see if I can get the newer model that also has an air frier.
I thought someone had the air fryer model but I was mistaken. We have the RV-500otr convection.
Do you have a link for the solar motion light? Thanks
Here you go. I'll add it to the description. BAXIA TECHNOLOGY Solar Outdoor Lights Wireless Security Motion Sensor Outdoor Lights Solar Lights Outdoor Waterproof for Front Door,Backyard,Steps,Garage,Garden (400LM,4 Packs) a.co/d/90FM12c
Rich...nice video, love all your upgrades. 1st hope you are planning on the 2025 Ally Rally in Elkhart (Dec 2 is open RSVP) and we can meet up. I am in process of installing LEDs in cabinetts. My next upgrade planned is the KoolRV. Please let us know your thoughts once you use the AC. Wife is considering (1 minute Yes another minute No) replacing the factory table with a standalone like yours. I "want" to install the Microwave Vent but my only concern is future replacement of any unit and vent not lining up. I know...I know...but that is my "pecimistic" self. My wife says that I am a pain in the arse! MY MAJOR 2024 UPGRADES = 1) I DIY'd 600ah of Lithium Batteries without touching factory 200w Solar. Next year's major upgrade will be a "solar system" to match our battery system. 2) I installed Starlink Hi Performance so my wife can work remotely while we are driving. 3) I upgraded Alltrek suspension to their 4000 and added SumoSprings (due to our recent 4mo summer trip South FL to Alaska).
We are definitely going to the national rally if we get in. Hope to see you there. We are going to Florida over the Christmas holiday so we'll be trying out the KoolRV. I'll be sure to let you know what I think. I have a small mod I want to do to it so I'll probably do a video while I'm down there.
Great video of all of you mods and upgrades, thanks for the shout out too! You guys need to get a new rig now since this one is all modded out!! the "Becky 2" 😆
Where did you get the strut for the cabinet above the microwave? That's a must have.
Sorry, I thought I put it in the description a.co/d/5ENYqSk
@@checkingitoutwithrich5711 Thanks much!
Neat product Rich, I see other ways to use that camera system too like for security too?
It's not bad. They had it on sale and with my $20 discount it's only about $70. The only thing I really don't like is the longest the monitor will stay on is 2 min. I put it in Becky's car and she uses it all the time.
Wouldn't the new tread just stick to the top of the anti-slip tape? ALSO Please post a one year review. Thanks
Yes, they would. Morryde said you can do it either way. Will definitely do a review in the future
Rich, If you get the marine grade flooring for the steps it will not hold water, and they just wipe clean..... th-cam.com/video/mfLddquyfew/w-d-xo.html
Nailed it, these tread covers look great!
All the screws in the floor angle in my Reflection 5th wheel were missing!!!!!! The entire back wall of my camper was moving left and right as I travel and thus the lower aluminum skirt on the outside had bulges. I'm doing this exact repair today on my camper using large angle. Thank you for posting this video!!!
Alliance had the same issue with their early models. After I added the angle I had to go to the factory for another issue and they reinforced the back wall. They removed the skirting on the sides and back. Added angles to the sides and secured the back with lag screws.
Thanks, my bed came apart and your video gave me the confidence to make the repair myself.
I'm glad I can help and thanks for watching. I'm actually redo the whole frame over the winter. I'll post a video
the problem was you needed at least 3 more people to help just not enough helpers
It was pretty hectic
Great job Rich! Always learning from you.
Hey Rich, change your video title to say "KoolRV" not "KOOlLRV" . PS - Another good video.
Thanks. Becky's supposed to proof check. I guess she missed that🤔
@@checkingitoutwithrich5711 I think her job is to keep you in check LOL 😂
@sdfaulk01 I think she deserves a raise. She definitely has her hand full
Awesome video buddy !!!!
Thanks. Keep an eye out. I have a mod coming out to make it a bit better. It's going to be a nail biter
Love your flag
