foreign travel is not to be advised it's more dangerous than ever the virus is now back out of control throughout of Europe ... lockdowns are coming back ... it just isn't advised for your health sake
Guys, you really DO need mosquito nets on these little windows😃👌🏻🐝🐜🐛🦗🐞
Hey guys, apologies for publicly messaging you.. just wanted to know if u guys had been receiving my emails about ya website... if you can let me know one way or another, that would be awesome. Say hi to Marvin for us! 🐶
Nooo!!! Stay put! Finish the van!
Agreed! I come to watch the RV build
"looks great kid" *smack*
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAH Eric, you're killin me.
Please be safe - and keep others safe. The travel bug might be biting us all....but travel abstinence now might make it easier for all of us to travel sooner. Take care. Fellow world traveler (always with a purpose). Peace..out!
I'd suggest hard-wiring the fridge (via a suitable fuse), those cigarette lighter outlets are the least reliable connector ever!
Or at least use a locking connector of some sort so it can be removed. You could even use a Neutrik XLR connector. They're rated up to 16 Amps.
@@mrosenblatt It looks like the power cord is connectorized at the appliance end....
Anderson plugs are the way to go!
Yes I came here just to say exactly this.. they vibrate out and ark and cause poor connections. there is a truck version called Hella Type Plug that is designed for high load and vibration proof but as above, hard wire in..
I am absolutely loving the RV series more than your regular stuff. I think it's a big mistake stopping it as it seems to be doing really well on your channel.
Missed the 90’s intro. It’s good your doing some traveling for the fall weather but please don’t have too much time in between the RV build, love watching!!
Yes Same
it's super popular so I doubt they'll drop it for long!
This RV series is giving me life! I found your channel when you posted maybe the fourth video? Didn't follow you before that but I'm absolutely in love with this series. I'm excited to see you travel but I hope there won't be weeks in-between the RV videos xx
Honestly your personalities make the vlogs - traveling or RV stuff, you guys make it interesting 🙂
Thanks Josh! 🥰
Missed the 80s/90s sitcom intro. That’s the highlight of my day every time I watch it. Please bring it back!!
New to this channel and I’m loving it every time I watch it!
I can’t even tell you how much I look forward to your videos! The first thing I check when there’s a notification a video has dropped is to check out the length to see how many minutes I can escape from the chaos to just enjoy your videos and you. Thanks so much for continuing and making such wonderful content whether it’s RV rebuild, travel, food, or just general craziness.
Thanks so much for your energy, support and optimism! It means so much to us 💗
Wow, I thought a standard RV fridge was small until I saw your new one. Unless you’re planning pretty short trips, this one may turn out to be much too small. Source: I am a 20 year RV’r. Regardless, your abounding enthusiasm still makes me smile.
I've really enjoyed watching you rebuild this heap of junk. Very much like the heap of junk 77 Swinger my Father in Law and I rebuilt back in 1984. It was fun , helped us learn lots about each other and built a relationship that lasted 34 wonderful years. Also as I said lots of fun talking Philosophy on the Roof of the thing with a very dear Doctor friend in the late night hours. I had always wondered up to that point why I took it. Those were wonderful times and I miss them now. This junk will absolutely be your treasure soon. I hope you keep it for a long time to come and enjoy it and have many Adventures in it to show us!
Thanks so much! Glad to know you made some great memories as well during your rebuild. It's impossible not to learn a ton about each other and power tools when you're tackling a project like this. 🛠We're definitely looking forward to all the adventures to come!
wait, did you guys forget or drop the 90s tv show intro 😱😱
Prob forgot
I knew something was missing!
2:25 appreciate the angle
🍑
You all have many years to see the world... please don't try to travel internationally right now. Explore America! Go to the hidden gems... show us unusual food places... would love to see you all do that. 👍
shes not lying..but id rather see international then kentucky..
Started putting it all back together, Great Success!
I’ll be honest, I’m here for the RV build. I’m not all that interested in your travels. But hope you have fun.
@@CarmindyOnline because they are not really a renovation channel. They are travelles, forced to stay at home and do something with their time because of covid.
@@CarmindyOnline Well, it is not mandatory to be subscribed. Frankly speaking, I've no idea what their intentions are. I gathered they need a passtime during the covid restrictions, and that they intend to see more of the US until the restrictions will be lifted, so they can go back to the international travels. For now, I don't mind their content, although I enjoyed their travels more. As long as I find them entertaining, I'll stay subscribed. 🙂
Carmindy Stevens Lol I’m so sorry you haven’t found perspective yet. It in fact does TAKE FOREVER to rebuild a vintage RV. I’m so glad I’m taking forever with mine because I’ve come up with WAY better solutions this way. That also, might cost more initially, but I won’t have to replace every 5 years 🤙🏼
Carmindy Stevens says someone that uploads a video of their cats learning to piss in a toilet 😂😂😂😂 petty wittle baby
Barrett Dent- same im just here for the renovation honestly
I never guessed a ladder could look so good as with Allison standing on it.
Thank you for what you do, because if my health issues I can’t travel ,so being able to see your adventures is the closest I’ll get to doing anything ,so thank you for videoing your life adventures ,I used to have a fun life ,I’ve had great times ,so you are bringing up some great memories for me too
lori miyamoto The space goes after the comma, not before.
Tracy Borchers really Tracy?
I'm obsessed with the RV videos. Why? I don't know.
Same
Same, it's better than the travel stuff.
2:27....the Money Shot!
I like both the traveling and the renovation videos. I'm not into RVs, but I am into seeing people renovate houses, cars, trailers, etc. I guess I enjoy seeing the progress and commiserating through the setbacks. That said, I am really looking forward to seeing some local US adventures!
You sort of glossed over this, but this is a huge turning point. You are putting stuff in, instead of just tearing out and rebuilding the structure of the RV!
Out of all the van lifers or travel vloggers I subscribe to. You two the the most consistent and on time. That’s why I’m always here ❤️
I love everything about what you're saying! Yes it's going to be a challenge traveling and getting into foreign countries and it's all just a waiting game at this point.... but I send you all my best love and support ...and in the meantime, there's places to be explored in the US foday.,!!! and onward and upward!!
Bummed for lack of 90s intro!!
I know I missed that too
Only Eric got bummed!
I know! That funky funny intro is the best
I seemed to identify with a 70's intro myself.
The easiest option for your fridge, is a lift up counter top which hinges simply above. Far easier access from above, and no pulling a big piece of furniture in and out 😊🙏
Actually, if you check the early videos you'll notice that the previous fridge used to occupy a space in an entire column of a cabinet. They took down the cabinets entirely. Now they've put a fridge there but they still need to utilise the space above it by building cabinets there. The best option is the have the box fridge in a pull out mechanism. If they did a lift up counter it would be a waste of space.
Sukant Panigrahi ..just curious how u feel it wld be a waste of space? The lift up counter wld allow them to lift the counter like a washing machine door.. and still be able to use the counter top to prep food or something of that nature.. and they can still have cabinets above.
Guys it really is difficult to continue during the pandemic but you guys are doing a mighty fine job. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
Our California RV previous owners taped in a sunshield under the glass in that bunk window. It's been nice because it keeps the sun from hitting through all the time.
Yay! You finally have your skirts on, and the window in, and you made your little cabinet! Finally! You guys have honestly come so far since the very beginning. I can’t wait for your adventure, I’ve missed them, probably as much as you guys 😄😄
We're so happy we're getting her all buttoned up! Definitely excited to do more adventures soon :)
Pocket holes really are the bomb!
Truth!
The frame under the fridge cabinet needs to have the longer horizontal wood above and the shorter vertical pieces supporting the horizontal piece for even weight distribution. It's the same with framing a wall in a house.
I just love you two no matter what you’re doing. Excited to see you travel again , but I also love watching you rebuild the RV,
You go Glenn Coco !
Haha, thanks!! 💗
Use drawer slides made for a car mechanics tool box! They are MUCH heavier built and made to hold up 200+ pounds of weight! Some even have built in resistance when closed to help keep them from opening when you don't want them to going down the road! Regular home cabinet slides won't take the road abuse, vibration, and weight of the fridge (unfortunately I'm speaking from experience! lol! 😪). I would suggest a "boxed" style slide tray that the fridge sits down into to help keep it from falling out during road vibration, bumps, and curves in the road, and also so you can make the sides tall enough to put 2 slides on each side, or 1 on each side and 2 on the bottom so it can sit flat and have the bottom supported, to give a little extra support and protection plus stop any twisting caused by stop and go driving making it want to go side to side during long term road use! Definitely get a couple of either push or pull style drawer stop locks made for RV cabinets on the drawer itself, not just the door covering it, (and all the other doors! lol!) to keep it locked in place while driving because that's a good amount of weight to hold in place! P.S. - MAKE SURE the RV is sitting completely level when you install all the drawers so that they aren't angled down while driving and want to slide out putting extra pressure on the door/drawer stops holding them in! One more thing, I know you want to keep down weight in there but don't use pine wood for the drawer tray because it will split easier at the screw holes than a hardwood or thick plywood with that weight and bouncing from the road! GREAT job you guys are doing and love your Vlogs!! 😀🥳👏👍
Excellent information Kevin I suggested to them plywood also
I suggested 3/4" plywood as in solid panels in a box configuration. He did say the pine was cracking only with the pressure of drill bit when making the holes. Imagine the pressure of a fridge? I won't last at all.
Kevin my husband said exactly what you suggested....they should redo it now
I agree with both you and Kevin and Peter
@@Nature_with_Peter_Kane My husband agrees with you Plywood
Ash is a stronger alternative to pine. You mentioned that you were going to fasten the cabinet frame the put the slide in, wouldn’t it be easier to do the slide first? The camper is coming along very nicely, I bet you’re proud of how well you’ve done with it...and actually staying with it!
Look at that! She's coming together nicely ❤️❤️
After watching your videos... I think I need to buy a pocket screw jig! Love these renovation videos.
Is that glass meant for the highway? Driving glass and house window glass are different things.
Consider replacing the cigarette lighter connector with something that is not friction dependent. On my telescope I replace them with SAE connectors. Other people solder on alternate solutions. Vibrating cigarette lighter plugs will come out and spoil your food.
OMG you guys are so freaking cute together. I’m sure it’s not always love and butt slaps, but I’ve been watching all of these RV reno videos and the way you cheer each other on is just so refreshing. 💝
All of your videos bring me so much joy. I look forward to watching whatever you post!
Sweet fridge! Great work! Nice fender and skirting! Have a good trip...can’t wait to see! (Jane)
You guys are fun to watch no matter what you do.
@5:00 having a nice mix of videos is great. I think you'll find that working on the camper is easier in the winter than you think because you can heat it up way easier than you can cool it down.
We do want to see your adventures but we really want to see your adventures in the RV you custom built. Treat it like a boat maybe and get it sealed from the weather on the outside and leave the inside a little rough. Might even be good to use the RV a bit before you finalize some of the interior details, so you know where you want things and what you do and don't need a little better.
Great suggestions! Happy to have you adventuring with us 👍
Get the ARB fridge plug for it. Great product. Screws together so doesn't come disconnected with bumps
Love your plans for splitting your time with visits and construction.
Scott’s Cheap Flights has compiled a nice list of places Americans can go either with or without a Covid test.
You guys are awesome! So impressed with your progress. We don’t care what you do for your videos, we love you. Stay safe and keep going!
Thanks! We really appreciate the support 😊
You guys are awesome love the idea of back and forth between the rev and travel. Can’t wait to see what’s next! 🥰
Just here for the RV reno, but have fun on your trip(s).
Great job on installing the window & building the fridge storage unit
Good brainstorming session for the pullout!!! 🥳
Hope that wood holds the weight of the fridge. Here’s to hoping lol🍺🍺 lol. Safe travels y’all!
Love these videos! They're like an infinitely long advert for pocket holes! :p
The RV is coming along pretty good. Can’t wait for your future videos!
Whatever you guys do or wherever you travel I’ll be happy to follow! Best of luck in your future plans and travel.
Thought for a second you were going to make the fridge vent a marker board . That would be a good spot to put an outside tv or digital picture frame. Cover could hide it while it transition.
You guys have made such great progress!! We will stay tuned for more adventures - love watching the RV renovation as well as the travel! 😊
Thanks, Shirree!! Happy to have you along for all the adventures 🙌
No cheesy opening? I'm disappointed!
Great progress!! I am definitely happy to see Y'all adventuring again!
I must say this. You guys are AMAZING! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
I like rv work! It’s making me feel more empowered in my own house.
Awesome, hopefully you knock out all your projects!
You guys are too awesome!! You have inspired us to start our travel youtube channel recently!
Love that you leave the bloopers in post ^-^ - Stay safe on the road ad have fun!
Glad to hear you're going to take a little break and explore some more! Well deserved!
May get more life from roof, replace less often if build detacheable solar panels and park in a rv shed with panels on it. Like idea of very windproof rammed earth pillars for a drive through pavillion that has sturdy tied down rafter roof. Maybe concrete anchor points for rv during spring tornado weather. Looks good and liked low energy arb with freezor. Good for unpredictable road drives, less stress, as hard on usual compressors.
So glad you guys are getting to inside stuff now. It’s been a long 6 months I’m sure. Will be excited to see what travel adventures you guys get into!
Thanks! We were definitely hoping to be a lot further along, but it's been a much larger project than we ever imagined. 😅 We're super excited to do more adventuring in between RV sessions now 🙌
for build out instead of use 1x3 lumber i would rip down 3/4 plywood into 3" strips much nice to work with
6:03 Nice love tap.
Love your progress on the van! Very helpful as someone about to tackle a camper as well. Love the in depth walkthroughs. Enjoy your road trips and I’ll be catching up when you get back to this project ☺️
love this series and love y'all!
Yay, a road trip.....to see Marvin! I wonder if he's missed you as much as we've missed him, it would be good to see you reunited again.
Nice window and fridge! And the cabinet framing came out just right. Enjoy your week! 🍁🍂
So excited that you are finally rebuilding the inside!!
I love seeing the progress you guys are making! The front window is great!
Looking forward to seeing you both travel in the RV!
Very good job you guys, keep healthy so you can finish all that work and take off for a little vacation, 👍❤️
This is so much fun to watch. Also looking forward to seeing some new little side trips.
I love both kinds of videos. I have really enjoyed this RV series, but I do love the travel. Looking forward to seeing a good mix of both. Well done you two....u haven't rested on your laurels! 👌👌👌
I enjoy your RV videos and your traveling videos. I look forward to watching all your videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Keep up the RV reno!:) I'm hoping for the best for you two!! Semper Fidelis
Muchas felicidades Jovenes siempre veo sus video cuanto me alegra que estén terminando su renovación de su RV
A very healthy approach to work on RV and travel! Can imagine that progress on RV can sometimes be demoralizing and what better way to take breaks than with travel!! Can't wait to see more of your road trip adventures!
Perfect plan, a little of this, a little of that, we're all happy👍😁💞
RV/Travel, we're here to watch either way! Have fun and be safe! We just booked a few semi local travels too, the travel itch is bad!
I am so here for the making it pretty time!
You two are awesome and perfect for each other. Your doing a great job.👍🏻👍🏻❣❣
You two are doing a great job putting that RV back together. There’s no way my husband and I could survive boondocking with one of those little refrigerator drawers. We would have to live on canned and packaged food when the fresh ran out...yuck. Besides, what you want is always on the bottom! You have to keep it open to dig through and remove stuff to get below the top so it actually loses just as much (if not more) refrigeration as a vertical, plus stuff warms up every time you have to take stuff out to dig for the other stuff, which you don’t have with the vertical where you can see what you want. I had a cabinet freezer once and replaced it with a vertical, so much less hassle.
lori miyamoto 🙄
I absolutely love your rv videos.
Sounds like a good plan...Mixing it up.
And by the way...you guys are awesome..keep it up and take a trip or 2 and then start back on the RV...
I start getting anxious wondering when your next video will show up. The last couple of days I have been watching like a hawk for it! Was awesome to see it this morning! Like everyone else who is following the progress of your build, this has been really awesome to watch the transformation. Eric, your comments about getting out and how some people want to see you return to that...when you think about it...it is sad that you all haven't been able to travel like you normally do. I really do miss the travel aspect of your videos. BUT...what you guys are doing now is really great and I think that this has allowed you two to grow and develop your skills into a niche that will make you all even more fun to watch. Especially now that you have spent the time with the renovation project, you can appreciate the amount of work it takes to restore something. And, in the future when you start shooting videos in it on the road, all of us that have watched this from the start will have a deep appreciation for what you all have been able to accomplish. That's a feather in your cap! Like I have commented previously about your recent trip to the farm...seeing your travel smiles return is something that we all look forward to as well. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us. I truly enjoy your adventures...even if they are to a local store to buy hardware!
For the ARB fridge you may want to look on their website for the ARB power socket, it may be a better option at powering the fridge instead of the traditional cigarette socket. 👍🏼
Good progress. Things are shaping up nicely.
I have missad you guys, love your channel!
Luv your travel vlogs yay looking forward to seeing were you go be safexx
Yay, I love your new plan!
Have followed you for a very long time, and have watched every video. I love the RV series. I can't wait for each new "episode". What a great way to carry your channel during this time. Love it!
Yay! Another video. I stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago and have been following your RV reno. I watched all of them and then had to stop abruptly so I'm glad you've posted another video. Good work guys.
