ℹ️ About the Episode:
When Marc is excited about something, you better just sit down and find out what all the hype is about! And let's not even get started on the nightlight ... Truth be told, these cushions really are a game-changer and quite possibly the most affordable RV upgrade we've ever done. This easy modification may very well win the KYD award for "best value" when it comes to RV upgrades. (*Note that this episode is not sponsored-we're just that excited about our newfound seated comfort!) Unless you have a really expensive Class A RV or a brand-new Airstream, chances are good that your RV cushions could be improved. On most of the RVs we've owned, the cushions were nearly flat after a few months of sitting on them during dinner. If you're living in your RV for a summer trip or full-time, forget about it! As you know, we're big fans of Ronnie from @airstreamnutsandbolts for always finding the best RV mods. He turned us on to the perfect replacement foam cushion that was super simple to trace, cut and replace. Watch the video for the full details. And make sure to watch to the end, because the bathroom nightlight we added to our Amazon store under "Our Favorite RV Items" will surely be your favorite RV mod too! Seriously, we don't know why we waited so long to find such a simple solution to nighttime blindness!

Caleb's impression of marc had me rolling!!! 🤣
Caleb totally cracks me up! He is just so funny!! Having a sense of humor is such a wonderful thing!
He should do stand up!
Caleb's impression was hilarious, my wife and I were cracking up.
I just realized where Caleb gets his humor, from Marc !😂
Keep the rubber on the road and safe travels.
Did you change your profile pic? I was wondering a couple weeks ago if you were still watching.
@@KeepYourDaydream I have been watching since the first video. The packing and flat tire.
Yes I changed my profile after being hacked a few years ago.
Good bless you all.
Yes…😂
You guys are a hoot! OMG. Made my day watching. Keep up the great videos. Love you guys!
A tip from the upholstery industry. If your foam doesn't want to slide into your fabric, cover it with dry cleaning plastic bags. It will slide in easier.
That's probably why were pulling plastic bags out of the cushions! *The more you know!
Oh! I've used the Silk Film to do it but never thought about using a dry cleaning bag.
Great tip
Do you put the batting all around the foam? I couldn’t see that well but it looked liked on top and sides. I will be changing out the foam in our cushions soon. Thanks.
PRO TIP! LOL Hi Guys, most TV manufactures have a remote control app for your smart phone for those who may lose the regular remote. Love your channel!
Start with the covers inside out. Start at the deepest corners on the pad, get the corner seams lined up perfectly, then wrap the covers back right side out around the padding. 👍
I seldom comment on your videos but today I have to say that I’m happy and glad to see you wearing that great old glory 🇺🇸 on your cap on so many videos that I watch in your awesome channel. “Give me liberty or give me death”. I’m just a 50 years old man that escaped communist in Cuba 30 years ago and now is embracing liberty despite the fragile status of it. You guys represent the good spirit of the free and prospers that we should all have to keep on protecting ...many blessings to that beautiful family.
You guys make everything look so easy because money is never an issue. Most people cannot RV this way
Mark, I replaced our seat cushions last night with the foam factory material. It took less that 30 minutes for ours and I'm so excited about the upgrade. No more sitting on the plywood!!! I love it. Joan didn't like it at first but after sitting there playing Phase 10 for 45 minutes she fell in love with the upgrade too. Thanks for sharing.
Living with Caleb...a laugh a minute, what a blessing!
Great video. We replaced the foam on our patio set. Your covers seemed to have big zipper openings but or covers didn’t . I found a pro tip by putting the foam in a trash bag then use the vacuum to shrink wrap them . They shrink down to half the size and slide right in. The hardest part is ripping the trash bag off when they are in
I have found that an electric carving knife works amazingly well on foam padding. Love your videos!🎉❤
Ok, you inspired me and my new cushions just came in. They are well worth the $180.
When you were in the bathroom, I loved how Caleb just KEPT GOING! LOL
OMG we did this for our airstream cushions today. We had our RV retrofitted and the cushions were “Ok” but the new cushions are AMAZING! Thank you.
Happy Sunday, everyone! Love yall 3000!
You guys are the best! My granddaughter is 17 and has an amazing voice. (She really could sing opera) Oddly enough she has gotten into a new hobby as a rock hound. (I just don't picture a singer as a rock hound.lol) She just loves rocks. So one of our families Summer to Remember is to go rock hound hunting with her. Thanks for the poster.
Hi Trish, great job on the cushions in the Airstream!! It’s always nice to have better support where you sit. I can’t wait to see how the house turns out. I’m sure going going to miss seeing Caleb when he goes off to college. He’s a delight!!
Happy Summer and safe travels. 😊❤️🇺🇸
The Trish laugh at 50 seconds in is priceless. Take a listen.
Omg Marc!! I've got those motion linghts....not only in the camper bathroom....but in the bathrooms of both our homes...and it's great! I actually have them around the house in case I want to get a drink of water in the kitchen....ect. You can navigate the whole house at night without turning on one light! You'll sleep like a baby!! And Caleb will be so happy! 😁
Great upgrade video… thanks for sharing! Lisa ( The Wingman’s wife)😊
So glad I received the KYD email letting me know the window to order Summer to Remember '23 merchandise was closing within hours. I hadn't paid attention to the program this year, but the design is fabulous, love it!. Even my wife who doesn't go in for this stuff, loves it. We ordered two premium T's.
We put the batting on our new cushions this past week as well. Joann Fabrics had the batting on sale for about $4 a yard. It definitely makes the dinette much more comfortable.
Thank you Caleb for the laughs! You are a joy!
Just made the cut off for this years tees! Whew. In Ouray right now, Durango bound. (Million dollar hwy with 4+ feet snow still!) So glad I took an evening to check in on my favorite people of youtube!
All that work setting up your new tv - and I lost the remote! Classic.
Some great ideas!! Thanks.
Years ago we purchased a nightlight for our house bathroom. It is a 120V 0.18W nightlight. It is ON all the time, but during the day, or when the main lights are on, you can't tell it is on.
However, once it gets dark, it perfectly illuminates the bathroom. Never need to turn on the light. When we bought our trailer, I purchased a new one for the house, and the old one is now in the trailer. Since we currently always camp with Electricity (30amp) it works well. We also have multiple battery powered (rechargeable) motion detection LED lights that go in our cupboards. During the winter they come into the house and we use them in cupboards and closet.
My biggest frustration in our trailer is the padding of the seats. Ours is a simple 17ft Coachman, so your upgrade is very interesting.
I am enjoying your videos and and learning a lots. We are currently VACATIONERS, meaning we camp in only 1 or 2 locations per summer (2-3 weeks), and occasionally do a couple days in the fall. We are looking forward to retirement (July 1, 2024) and have begun planning some longer trips (Banff & Nova Scotia). Last June we did a test trip of 8 nights, staying only 2 nights in each park and moving about 300km between parks. We learned some lesson about how to travel further distances and change parks regularly.
Have a great summer!
😂😂 Caleb in the background!! Ahhh, I’m trying to sleep!! 😂😂
Love the night lights, mine have a rechargeable battery, I put them on our stairs, bathroom floor, and under the bed overhang to illuminate the floor, all movement censored, so I’m not tripping if I get up in the dark and I’m not waking up my husband! It’s just the right amount of light to see what you need to see.
Not to rain on your night light parade but my Puma Palomino came with a built-in motion sensor night light in the bathroom. But, I share your enthusiasm with not blinding everyone in the middle of the night.
Mr Beams motion sensor LED lights were the first things we put in when we got our travel trailer. They're wonderful...have them in our washroom, closet, pantry, and more. So great at night, bright enough to see but not bright enough to wake others up.
Those night lights are flippin awesome!! I just ordered a few sets for my RV and house.
Love Caleb ….. 😂 we added the motion night light to our Casita bathroom after the first trip. Game changer!
I admire your courage in creating new cushions for your Airstream! I wouldn’t have considered doing something requiring such skillful competence! But, youl did it beautifully! Bravo!
I love the nightlight! Caleb! You are too funny! ❤️😂
It's a good thing Mark helped!!LOL
I just got new cushions from foam factory and they’re awesome! I had them cut to size for me since I didn’t need a very large amount and they can add the Dacron batting for $20 if you want. The total came to $170 and all I had to do was put the covers on when they arrived. I LOVE my new comfy cushions!!
Came back to say, Thank you for the seat cushion recommendation. Just finished doing a couple of the seat cushions that see the most use in my little trailer and it makes a big difference. Very easy to cut and stuff into the covers.
Trish, you made that cushion upgrade look easy! Im going to try it. I think you started a trend!
I love these how to videos. I had got a cushion like that and it makes a world of difference. Love the night lights too.
Thank you for the foam information. Ours wasn't worn out it just wasn't firm enough. Ordered the foam you recommended and replaced today! What a difference! Going camping next week so we'll give it a good test out.
Great to hear. Thanks for the feedback.
I've been wanting to do the cushions for a while, but wasn't brave enough to undertake the task until I watched your video. Thank you for making it seem doable, and letting me know which foam to use. The wife and I are leaving on a 3 month trip and LOVE the cushions now.
We don't have a fancy Airstream but out Jayco trailer came woth a really cool blue night light in the bathroom and we love it! I may have to replace our seat cushions on the couch. Thanks for the DIY on how to do it!
How cool that you signed up for Ragbraai! I'm so excited for you guys.
We have a built-in kitchen and a built-in bathroom (I mean latrine) light that run on our 110V AC wiring in our Arctic Fox 5th wheel. It would be nice to find a 12V DC light like the 110V one you installed so one would not have to leave an inverter on at night. Great DIY you two!
We bought a 2 pack of that exact same light a year ago...we now own about 12 of them. Truly modern technology for the simple human.
Trish is the Joanna Gaines of RV life
💯
That cushion upgrade looks like something we’ll definitely be doing in our new Casita, where the seating areas are the beds.
Loving that night light, too!
Love this episode and every other you guys have put out! Love the whole family but have to say I will miss the Caleb Comedy minutes when he goes off to college! Had to watch the segment with the night light twice I laughed so hard!
Caleb is a hoot. What fun personalities you all have. I live near Prescott, AZ.
The cushion ideas were awesome! I work remotely in our RV and often sit at the kitchen table to work so I can relate to not sitting on plywood all day!! The smart tv is the way to go also! We put one in our room as well in our RV and it makes it so effortless to stream movies and tv shows! Great video as always!!
We got tired of sitting on plywood also, and had our cushion foam replaced a couple of years ago. One of the best things we could have done. The dinette is very comfortable now.
please disregard last message. I went searching on-line for a local foam company and found one. Great idea. My wife will love an upgrade on a foam mattress. Thanks.
I replaced our TT's foam rubber mattress with a memory foam mattress. I used an electric carving knife (thrift store find) to cut it down and it worked wonderful. I do need to replace our dinette seat cushions. Thanks for the inspiration.
I did the foam mod before I left for a 3 month trip last September. It was the best thing I have ever done for my camper!!!!
Very sad that a top end Airstream uses cheap foam. Great video. Marc and Trish are the best.
They don't. They use nice memory foam. What didn't make the edit is this rig is 6 years old and the last 3 years has been nearly FT use. It was time.
You guys make rv'ing look so simple and easy. Always happy and everything going perfectly. DRIVES ME CRAZY. I go crazy on a weekend trip.
Stuffing the foam and batting into the covers can be a chore, but worth it. Great job Trish!! I do that with larger couch cushions after I wash the covers. Ha ha! Marc, I bought similar motion detector night lights a couple years ago. Game Changer! We now have some at home as well. Even took one with when we stayed a VRBO this past winter. Caleb keep up the quick witt. Always makes me laugh. Thanks KYD❤❤❤
Good Monday morning to y’all! I love those cushions. Great job! Hubs & I watched KYD from the beginning. For our day of rest. Our do nothing day conjured up a big ole Thunderstorm with quarter size hail. We had 3 storms come through the Abilene,Tx area. We decided we may do that every week! Thanks about the Hamilton pool area. I didn’t know it existed. Do now. I think it will be on our to do & see list. We went to the Colorado Bend SP. I wanted to hike to the Gorman Falls. My husband can’t walk that for. Maybe if there was ice cold beer when he got there. We stayed (RVed) at Barefoot fishing Camp. Just up the road from CB state park. Ask your Dad if he has been there. I loved Barefoot can’t wait to go back. Have a great Mother’s Day!
I'm in progress with a similar upgrade. However, as the dinette on my trailer is also a bed... I decided to purchase a 6" thick double mattress and cut that up into cushions! Hoping it will be much better for sitting and sleeping!
I’m excited to try this and replace our bench cushions for our trailer. Thanks for such a fun video!
Love your Summer To Remember idea and poster. I do this now for every season.
Great DIY upgrade video, Caleb had me rolling with the night light bit.
For the TV you could also use a Roku or fire stick. I prefer those because sometimes the smart TVs process/load too slow.
@@aed8096 right, that too if you lose the remote.
We are going whale watching this summer in Newfoundland!!
Your timing is impeccable. I had just ordered replacement foam for our unit right before you made this. However, I still ended up going with this foam for better support as the other stuff wasn’t quite as good.
Looks awesome, and it fits too. Thanks for the links. As for those new TV's they need a locate remote button to turn on/off on the tv itself.
Nicely done! The new foam padding for the cushions turned out great. I’m going to remember this one. Thanks for sharing!
YEA! Maybe I'll see you guys during RAGBRAI!
I had to update my seating too but I ended up replacing the couch in my unit. Huge difference. Villa International sofa.
I am going to order that foam so fast it will make your eyes hurt! Thanks you guy's! I too am tired of sitting on plywood!!
Loved this episode, thanks Marc and Trish...especially the light mod. 🙂That happens to us all the time. We will be making that change very soon!
Did RAGBRAI back in ‘89. Awesome ride! You’ll be required to try the IOWA CHOPS. Part of the culture!
Next time you cut the foam use a hot wire cutter, cuts like butter three times the speed
Looking forward to following your trip to Nova Scotia. Planning to go there next year.
Nice improvements! One of the best parts too was Caleb, possibly the best lol, I have gone to using fire tv stick, so handy, take them traveling such as to air bnb, while yes many places have some form of streaming, by taking mine I have all of my stuff. Smart TVs great too of course, but either way, great solution!
Night lights are a must in bathrooms
I was waiting for you to show us the toilet bowl light . Same as your motion light except more colorful and placed directly inside the toilet bowl :). For us that was life changing in the camper . Check one out .
😂kaleb. The night light. 😂. Soooo funny. Trish your amazing. The re foaming of the seats. So good. Love you guys. So fun happy May 🩵🩷🤍
The wife and I was just discussing how to fix our cushions and BANG-we get an answer. Our English Cream Retriever sleeps on his back just like your dog. He will sometimes lay for hours like that!
I love watching your channel -it’s the best!
Be careful using “click” knives with the blade extended out more than one scored line. I teach design at a large university and had a student trying to use one extended too far. They applied just a bit too much force and the end snapped, flew up, and embedded itself in the students eye.
Ive done this with my couch cushions in my STR huge difference.
Marc, Love the sensor light for the bathroom. My guys purchased a battery operated sensored light it sits on the toilet bowl. The sensor light can be changed to 8 different colors. I feel like I've walked into a disco in the middle of the night....LOL
Great upgrade!! Love your episodes and you all make me smile!! Especially Caleb!! Happy travels!!❤
Thank you for sharing another fun video. Blessings
For others doing this....Cushion Ease or something like it goes over the dacron stuffing to making the cushion slide into the covers with ease. And you may want cut the cushions a bit larger than the covers...1/2 inch....so you have a nice snug fit. ❤
Not sure where to ask this question. I'm still waiting for my KYD summer to remember shirts. Order says processing but it has been in that state for long time. I usually receive these shirts by now. Thanks for any input.
I used a electric carving knife. Like you use to carve a turkey. Works great and smoother edges. Just for future reference. Thanks great job
Thanks for the cushion upgrade information - my rig desperately needs that upgrade, and I was wondering how to go about it.
You cannot believe how excited I was when I realized my backup camera is also the bluetooth, hands free phone, CD, and DVD player. I rarely have internet since I almost entirely boondock. Yes, I could get starlink, but I can't justify the expense since I rarely watch TV anyway.
Once in awhile I have wifi access for Netflix and Prime Video.
I'm going to give PERSIL a shout out. Rub the concentrate on stains like blood and wash. Stains come out better than Tide or any stain remover ever did. Good stuff!
Caleb is gold... Again
Thank you all for showing us the mods! Really enjoyed tonight’s video ❤
KYD's first ASMR video? ;) would listen to 30min of Trish cutting foam!
“Ahh Caleb!! I’m trying to go to sleep!!!” Best part of the whole video 😂
Two parts of this video had me laughing out loud. 1. Of course, when Caleb was talking outside the bathroom. 2. Marc going on and on about how cool the new smart TV was and telling us all about it and then saying I can't turn it on because I can't find the remote. LOL LOL LOL
Seriously awesome idea!!! Thank you for sharing!!❤❤
Electric knife (like you use to carve a turkey), Works great. Buy QUALITY foam which you are not going to find at hobby stores. We found a place in Dallas that was very knowledgeable and helped us with our custom designed and built queen sleeper sofa for our RV. I wish I could post a before and after picture. My wife did an outstanding professional quality job covering the sofa. It took about 200 hours of work to complete. Reduced the width by 6”, back height down 3” and depth by 1”. Arms and cushions were designed and custom made from scratch.
I had to cut some thick foam recently and I used a electric knife the ones that you use to cut like ham for Thanksgiving dinner LOL. it actually worked pretty good
