I have a suggestion for the army truck. Put some weight on top of the rear axle to compensate for the weight you put on front. That will give you much more traction
Anyone who’s lived in an area with A LOT of snow knows this. I’ve driven past countless trucks stuck in the snow because they have NOTHING in the back. If you review the footage the back tires are spinning while the front are the only ones doing the work.
Its a bittersweet moment. I started watching and subscribed to your channel during the camper build. You guys have come a long ways. On to bigger and better things.
I have a suggestion for your laundry / dryer. Build a double chamber lint trap and vent the dryer indoors during winter or when it's cold. Venting outside you lose all that heat energy plus the negative pressure pulls cold air in from outside. It will help with heating inside, provide some humidity to dry, winter air, reduce load on batteries, and smell nice if you use fabric softener. I have done this seasonally for years and the only downside I've found is you can't do multiple loads on the same day because the windows start to fog up. As far as a lint trap, I used two 5 gallon buckets in series with lids with a little soapy water in them.
I'm rather surprised that they didn't use their/this channel to advertise that they were selling the camper. There probably would have been a bidding war!
Courtney and Riley - I stumbled upon your channel and watched your videos of making the Army Truck Snowblower. I had to go back and have watched all your off grid homesteading videos in just a few days. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. As a northerner I am totally impressed with your solar system, your workshop and the skills you have picked up along the way! Amazing what you have accomplished in 2 years! One of my favourite videos was when Riley was using the huge D8 Bulldozer to make the new road - I was actually holding my breath hoping the repairs would work! Thanks for your videos....I gotta go back and watch the building of your truck camper.
I've had Hot water heaters fail on me a few times in the past. I was always thankful that I had easy access to them. I've noticed that you've enclosed your Hot Water Heater between the Washer/Dryer and Closets. If you have to do repairs on your Hot Water Heater, does that mean you will have to remove your closets to get access to it? Goodbye Camper, Hello Future Projects!
This really surprised me. All the projects are well thought out and executed. I always look forward to whatever ingenious thing is happening. However, this is really a bad idea.
Riley, your fab skills totally amaze me...as a diemaker for FORD and a small farmer I get to fab all kinds of things but NOTHING like what you knock out ! I can't believe that you weld with battery power, Love watching you all go thru life...
Moving on can be sad, but it also means new things are ahead. You never know where life will take you. We are living in our fourth "We're never going to move again" home. Thank you so much for sharing some of your lives with us.
Your camper build is how I first discovered you guys way back when. I understand why but still sad to see it go. I hope it didn't go to another TH-camr because if I ever see it again I'm going to expect to see you two in it!
Gonna miss her! Can't wait to see the next one!! Lot's of great times and adventures to remember all the days of your lives. Memories make life worth it all! Take care and always be safe! Tom
@@AmbitionStrikes I vote for a bus conversion! There is a place in Northern California called White Water Adventures and the run old school buses up grade roads and switchbacks full with gear and people for a weekend rafting trip. So a bus is a capable option (great ground clearance vs an RV)
@@AmbitionStrikes Think about switching the sides of the doirs for the washer / dryer unit: if you have the smal door on the right you can more comfortable and quick check the displays of the machines. Ikea pax allows the swapping of doors.
Years ago we had a 1992 chevy 3500 and a Northster Camper. Got us to places far and wide. Loved most everything about it except the darn bed. Was a pain to get in and out of as I had a bad knee. Now that we're in our mid 60"s we have a Motorhome and have just got home from 5 weeks of roming around sourthern Colorado,New Mexico and Arizona from our home base in western Montana. Still enjoy the traveling but it's also good to get back home. You both will evolve and change as we did...Never lose that explorer wanderlust. Love your content ... Keep up the great work!
2 things I love about Sunday morning. 1) Church 2) watching your new videos.. Congrats on 300K. Saw Boone, but not Bailey. Hope Bailey is OK. Love you guys and no heavy lifting for Courtney..
Watching this build is where I fell in Love with Courtney. DAMN!! That Woman can do everything, and NOT be afraid to get her hands dirty. Riley has hit the JACKPOT here.
@@dantronics1682 I was thinking, "if only all men were like Riley!" He's not at all intimidated by a woman who can do pretty much anything and do it well, and actively supports, appreciates and applauds her efforts. And not at all in a patronizing way, but with authentic admiration and the same respect he would feel and show to a man doing all that she does. He realizes he's hit the jackpot and doesn't feel like her greatness in any way diminishes or threatens him, in fact he treats her like goddess she is! Let's face it guys...this is rare. I think they're both amazing and that they both admire, respect and champion one another so beautifully. I admire them both and their amazing partnership in particular. What a dynamic duo!
What I admire about you folks is that you do bold, practical things in a way that never compromises on quality and value. Your hard work makes for a great quality of life and you have the most fun possible. Thanks for the inspiration and wish you all the very best.
Hola👋 When I was young and living in Wisconsin...we had a big Flyer sled..so much fun and you could stear it and the more kids you got on it the faster it went....good memories you made..💃
That camper was the reason I subscribed in the first place, I guess I should thank it for giving me my favourite TH-cam premiere on a Sunday night (Australia based) onwards and upwards team!
The construction of the camper is what brought me to the channel when channel was new…no issues on the direction change (life happens!), but I was interested in the long term durability of that construction technique since most “normal” RVs are built so weak. Oh well, now looking forward to your future projects…
No worries about Riley's materials choices or construction techniques. The _Ambition Strikes_ camper is build extremely well. Take a look at how they do things down under. Composite panels all secured with nothing but adhesive. Even offroading, their campers pass the test...with flying colors.
Hi Courtney & Riley! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! I found you guys while you were in the camper. So ..long ago. Start of a bigger family 😊🙏🙏🙏Blessings
100% agree , since it has a dump box , fill it up with rocks , or even wet snow . easy to unload later . the weight will 100% make a difference. I live in northern Alberta Canada , I hunt with my old 91 4 runner in the snow so deep I sometimes push it with the frame . Without all the junk I pack around in the back , I would be stuck all the time . you can see this rusty thing on my channel. not posting a link out of respect .
you guys are so awesome! can't help but smile the whole time while watching your videos. love to see your smiling faces! I must have missed some very important news... baby's stuff and full blown nesting mode?! You guys will be such great parents, congratulations! All that extra storage will be so nice and come in very handy for sure. Thanks again for making videos and sharing your adventures and lives with us. God Bless!
Going backwards catching up on your videos and this is the first time we saw your camper and then were amazed to see that you built if from the ground up.............like everything else you two do. I love it!
I panicked when I saw today’s title! I’m so glad it was the title of just a bittersweet outcome. I discovered and subscribed to Ambition Strikes as you and Riley were just completing the camper build. I faithfully followed and share your great adventures ever since, when you also had Wednesday vlogs. I always look forward to your exciting Sunday postings!
I am gonna miss the camper, that's what got me here, but now i am hooked on all of your adventures. The location the Garage / Home is so awesome when you show the views with the drone. They say most people are either beach or mountain, I am definitely "Mountain."
It has been wonderful to watch your lives and your channel develop - thank you for sharing it all - and congratulations on your success and your new arrival! How do you plan on getting to the hot water heater - should it need an adjustment or some service? And - how does that new dryer work with the doors to the cupboard closed? Great job!!
Without the labrador supervision I doubt the cabinets would have gotten completed. I stumbled upon your youtube channel when you were driving the Army truck to Idaho and have been hooked since then. You two have done great things and will, undoubtedly, do a lot more.
All the excitement that has been had with AS Camper will continue with the new owners, how could it not be as fun for them as it did for you's. Memories are the blessings we all get for all our past ventures. Good Travels and Safe adventures AS Camper and New Friends and Family!!
I'm definitely sad to see the camper go, made me realize how many of your projects I have watched. Now I am very excited to see what the next adventure is! For the army truck can you get lockers for the front and rear differentials? I noticed when you were trying to get out that on the rear axle at least you seem to have one tire spinning quite often while the other one is doing no work. I feel like that would definitely help you get out of some sticky situations.
I just found your channel a few days ago and watched the whole camper build series first. I actually got a little teary when you drove off and left it behind! Great work! On to the next adventure!!
Your custom work is extraordinary! Paired with your mechanical abilities and overall attention to details of craftsmanship and functionality I have no doubt someone just bought a very well designed and quality built overlander RV that they will enjoy for many seasons! I hope the $ let's you build your next dream! I'll be watching that too. Take care of yourselves!
Your camper series inspired me to build a camper for my family! Thanks for supporting along the way when I had questions as well. I was looking forward to how you adapted it for your baby, but I’m sure the next project will be even better. Many miles left in that camper!
Definitely a bitter sweet moment. Your camper build is what first drew me to the channel and now I'm hooked on all your projects. On to the next adventure.
It is sad to see the camper go, but think of all the new adventures to come with the new member of your family you will create so many memories that will last forever.
Looks great.Make sure you can access the little cleanout for the washing machine.The little panel at the bottom left.Doesn't need cleaning very often but when it does you need to get in there.
holy... hell... i wass shocked... I tought you guys say goodbye to youtube... I´m glad you dont go... i love your videos... and this is the only channel im watch every day to see if there are new videos!!!!..... I love you GUYS!!!! )And good luck with your nice baby inside of you!
I use an electric clothes dryer and have found it is very expensive to use the higher heat settings. It takes longer to dry on the lowest heat setting but saves me over $75.00 a month on my electric bill
As it gets increasingly difficult to reach low places you might want to consider getting the riser that can go below your washing machine; you'll still have storage, it'd just be down instead of up. After a dozen years I finally got mine last year and it's so much easier to do laundry now (and you are 14 inches taller than me!) The shop looks fantastic! Mine is full of open shelves instead of cabinets, and I need to re-do that (welding dust etc is a pain). Looks like you went with IKEA instead of metal, an idea we will have to seriously consider. Thanks for another great show, see you next week!
I saw you guys in your camper a long time ago in Wichita, KS. It's how I found your channel. I thought oh my gosh I bet those guys have a TH-cam channel and I immediately looked you up and boom there you were!
that camper is the reason I started following you guys on youtube. But, your joy, your smiles, your way of doing things is the reason I continiued watching. can't wait for your next project
I can't believe baby builder is on the way. I haven't been keeping up with every video, I feel like I missed so much. Congratulations to you two, it's been a great ride, here's to the future
You two are the perfect couple to take on these types of projects! Your both highly intelligent and compliment one another perfectly. Thank you for all the invaluable information!
Y’all that made me sad! That was what first exposed me to yalls channel! I get it though. Opens the door for more projects, but dang that was a cool camper! Keep it up!
Know what the next job for the Dozer is, flatten out the hill!!, Sad to see her go, Isnt the Name on the camper youre registered you tube name?? thought you might have removed it before selling, Love sundays seeing you guys, soon to be 3!! Nice job on the cabinets. Happy Sunday guys. Love from UK x x.
Good to see the truck get unstuck. The sled is genius and fun. I like the way you folks make things work. I'm the kind of guy who uses things to do a project that weren't meant for that purpose, but work just the same. You guys think outside the shipping container and come up with a solar array. Look past your noses and build up a snow blower for the front of the truck. Wowsers. Keep on truckin.
Sad to to see the camper go , watching the build clips you added here brought good memories of when I first started watching you guys . The journey continues , and that's what it is all about ...........
On the snow blower - when you tried to move in 4 wheel drive it looked like your differentials were not locked - and also you load is on the front wheels and i think you are a little light on the back axles - a bit more weight will also help. Goodluck guys
I stumbled onto your channel during your camper build, I was searching for ideas for the rebuild of my travel trailer. Seeing what you were able to do building one from scratch gave me motivation to tackle mine. Will be exciting to see the next one! Curious if you’ve made any upgrades to water supply and disposal to support the addition of a washing machine?
Man it’s sad for me to see it go and I didn’t do anything! I remember seeing that rig in Flaggstaff when we were visiting and being like “that thing is WILD” I hadn’t even seen any of your videos yet. What a long way to come!
Gosh that hurts me for y’all ! I’ve faced those same feelings when selling some of my first machines (heavy equipment) but it’s a necessary step to growing into bigger and better things.
Looking forward to hearing about new things to come! MTCW, You guys might want to install a water shut-off valve with easy access, just above the shop sink, for your new washer. They are a great safety item that is easy/quick to use. I installed 2 so far. One was at our other house decades ago and the second one was here shortly after we moved in. NOTE: Because I couldn't post it here for your convenience - I sent a picture of what I did and how it looks to your Facebook messenger. A single lever turns it on or off quickly. Great peace of mind - knowing you don't have to be concerned about leaks or those hoses bursting while you are away. We turn it off after every use. Hope its helpful. Tony
I bet a building inspector would have a bit of a freak-out seeing how they enclosed the water heater with no means of quick access. Idaho is rather permissive on people doing HVAC, electrical, and plumbing on their own residences, and for the most part just goes by the National and (where applicable) International codes. Having had a water heater spring a leak (fortunately with a pan and exterior drain) and having had to replace thermostats and elements before that, I definitely would not want it sealed up like that. I only found the leak because the heater was easily visible in a closet. Opened the door and "What's that? Uh-oh, we need a new water heater!"
oh MAN! YES it is and if the washer stinks it's because you haven't cleaned it out recently. I discovered mine after about TEN YEARS! Excellent advice!!!
I’m watching your video this morning. I love the cabinet buildout. I noticed that you guys put the washer on the bottom and the 2x4 at the bottom in front of it. All looks great! The challenge is the door at the bottom left is the water clean out. I have to drain mine once a month. Sadly, you may want to raise it the 4” higher to be able to easily clean it out. I had to learn the hard way that it had to be up off the ground. Love what you do💕
Your cabinets and sink are a great improvement in your laundry area. The car hood turned into a sled was fantastic especially when Riley washed and waxed the hood to make it go faster. Did both of you go down on the sled together? Selling the camper was bitter-sweet because of your fond memories in the build and travels. Many blessings to you great folks.
It's bittersweet saying goodbye to your wonderful camper, but great to think how another family can make great memories with it too!! I love your storage cabinets in your workshop corner. I have a bit of a concern through winter though, with plumbing on an exterior wall, in a corner, and then all enclosed by the cabinetry. I know it's PEX, and that can tolerate freezing pretty well, and while the washer/dryer and/or hot water heater are running, there will be residual heat to keep plumbing warm. Maybe a bit of heat trace, or a tiny heater in there?
Am I the only one that heard "and quit call me Shirley"? and any bad idea that starts with "be sure to properly mop your car hood" ... I'm game! Thanks for the smiles and great video today. Will miss the truck camper, but what a well-deserved and tested stepping stone ... rock on for seeing it to its fullest potential and moving forward.
When I read the title of this video, this is the *last* thing to which I thought y'all would be saying goodbye. Love, love, love the "highlight reel", though. As you say, it's time for a whole new chapter. I think I subscribed to _Ambition Strikes_ from the first episode of the truck camper build. I've followed along intently ever since, and can't wait to see all that the future holds for the Caseys.
The camper transition I thought had already occurred. I guess it is now final with this celebrity homage. Courtney's hair is absolutely amazingly beautiful in this video! Possibly the beginning of a trend? Also, the channel blurb says "20 acres of _bare_ off-grid land". I don't think your land is anywhere near _bare_ !
Hahaha using that hood brings back some memories, my 5 sisters and I used to use an old hood off of an old broken down car. We're probably lucky to be alive. Also sorry doing a snow dance for you guys is a no go, we're looking for a snow melt so that we can start building our own little homestead. Best wishes.
Yes, it's kind of a sad day, but with that new sweet shop you can always build another camper if the itch for it gets really bad. Looking forward to what comes next. Cheers.
I started watching your channel when you started building your camper and we have been faithfully been following your channel as you have grown. Unfortunately my better half is on a road trip to Seattle with her son because the imaging equipment is not available in Spokane to help discover why he keeps having seizures. Watching your channel is something we do every Sunday morning before coffee. I know I can speak for both of us we can't wait to see what the future holds for you guys.
Hi Courtney and Riley, In the washer and dryer cabinet, make sure you can access the clean out drain at the bottom of the washer. You should need to open it and clean out the screen every quarter to keep the mold smell down. They also suggest you leave the washerl and detergent doors open to let it all dry out.
Like other comments the camper build brought me to your channel but the way you guys live and work and play keep me coming back. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
I have a suggestion for the army truck. Put some weight on top of the rear axle to compensate for the weight you put on front. That will give you much more traction
That's probably what the issue was, you need to compensate for all the fro t weight.
Anyone who’s lived in an area with A LOT of snow knows this. I’ve driven past countless trucks stuck in the snow because they have NOTHING in the back. If you review the footage the back tires are spinning while the front are the only ones doing the work.
you don't want too much weight however, might look for someplace to weigh front and back to get a good balance for snow throwing
Maybe a jersey wall section would be appropriate for a counter weight, in the rear? Easy to remove and store.
Fill it full of sand and/or gravel. Good for weight and you can spread it on the road if required.
Its a bittersweet moment. I started watching and subscribed to your channel during the camper build. You guys have come a long ways. On to bigger and better things.
build a camper on the army truck.
Congratulations on 300K you've come a long way! Well done to the both of you.
Mark (& Teresa)
Thank you for continued support of everything we do!
@@AmbitionStrikes ❤️
The blower is making the truck front heavy, you need ballast in the truck bed so the rear wheels can provide some traction.
Congratulations on 300 K. I could feel your pain watching your camper go.
I was wondering what they got for it and I did not think they were guna get rid of it
I have a suggestion for your laundry / dryer. Build a double chamber lint trap and vent the dryer indoors during winter or when it's cold. Venting outside you lose all that heat energy plus the negative pressure pulls cold air in from outside. It will help with heating inside, provide some humidity to dry, winter air, reduce load on batteries, and smell nice if you use fabric softener. I have done this seasonally for years and the only downside I've found is you can't do multiple loads on the same day because the windows start to fog up. As far as a lint trap, I used two 5 gallon buckets in series with lids with a little soapy water in them.
Whoever bought the camper has got a bespoke, hand crafted, beast of a vehicle. Lucky people.
I'm rather surprised that they didn't use their/this channel to advertise that they were selling the camper. There probably would have been a bidding war!

I had the exact same thoughts.
It also looks like they cannot open the door to clean the washing machine’s filter. I know that they will figure it all out.

Your custom work is extraordinary! Paired with your mechanical abilities and overall attention to details of craftsmanship and functionality I have no doubt someone just bought a very well designed and quality built overlander RV that they will enjoy for many seasons! I hope the $ let's you build your next dream! I'll be watching that too. Take care of yourselves!
Your camper series inspired me to build a camper for my family! Thanks for supporting along the way when I had questions as well. I was looking forward to how you adapted it for your baby, but I’m sure the next project will be even better. Many miles left in that camper!
Definitely a bitter sweet moment. Your camper build is what first drew me to the channel and now I'm hooked on all your projects. On to the next adventure.
I stared watching you guys because of this truck. This project was amazingly nice to follow through. Can't wait to see what's coming next!
It is sad to see the camper go, but think of all the new adventures to come with the new member of your family you will create so many memories that will last forever.
nice baby bump you are so blessed.
Looks great.Make sure you can access the little cleanout for the washing machine.The little panel at the bottom left.Doesn't need cleaning very often but when it does you need to get in there.
It is always hard to let something go that you have so much invested into and so many memories but now is also the opportunity to begin a new chapter.
holy... hell... i wass shocked... I tought you guys say goodbye to youtube... I´m glad you dont go... i love your videos... and this is the only channel im watch every day to see if there are new videos!!!!.....
I love you GUYS!!!! )And good luck with your nice baby inside of you!
I use an electric clothes dryer and have found it is very expensive to use the higher heat settings. It takes longer to dry on the lowest heat setting but saves me over $75.00 a month on my electric bill
I started watching your channel when you were buikding the camper, it is bitter sweet from this side of the screen too.
As it gets increasingly difficult to reach low places you might want to consider getting the riser that can go below your washing machine; you'll still have storage, it'd just be down instead of up. After a dozen years I finally got mine last year and it's so much easier to do laundry now (and you are 14 inches taller than me!) The shop looks fantastic! Mine is full of open shelves instead of cabinets, and I need to re-do that (welding dust etc is a pain). Looks like you went with IKEA instead of metal, an idea we will have to seriously consider. Thanks for another great show, see you next week!
Plus you won't be blocking the drain clean out on the lower front of the washer
Cortney could really use this when she gets further into mommyness
man kind a sad i addicted to your videos because of that camper..im amaze how you guys do it and fall in love to watch your vlogs..its kinda sad…
Congratulations on 300K
I saw you guys in your camper a long time ago in Wichita, KS. It's how I found your channel. I thought oh my gosh I bet those guys have a TH-cam channel and I immediately looked you up and boom there you were!
Thanks for watching! Neither of us have ever been to Kansas though.
@@AmbitionStrikes really? I could swear it was your camper. Crap.. It must have been a different channel and I don't remember who.
❤ the sledding…that was so Clark Griswold!! Watching the rest of the video and trying not to read spoiler comments LOL!
that camper is the reason I started following you guys on youtube. But, your joy, your smiles, your way of doing things is the reason I continiued watching. can't wait for your next project
I can't believe baby builder is on the way. I haven't been keeping up with every video, I feel like I missed so much. Congratulations to you two, it's been a great ride, here's to the future
You two are the perfect couple to take on these types of projects! Your both highly intelligent and compliment one another perfectly. Thank you for all the invaluable information!
Well that was fun, you two do great work so I look forward to your new truck project or camper 2.0.
Y’all that made me sad! That was what first exposed me to yalls channel! I get it though. Opens the door for more projects, but dang that was a cool camper! Keep it up!
You should consider adding some weight to the bed of the truck to counter balance the weight of the plow to gain more traction on the rear wheels.
Know what the next job for the Dozer is, flatten out the hill!!, Sad to see her go, Isnt the Name on the camper youre registered you tube name?? thought you might have removed it before selling, Love sundays seeing you guys, soon to be 3!! Nice job on the cabinets. Happy Sunday guys. Love from UK x x.
Good to see the truck get unstuck.
The sled is genius and fun. I like the way you folks make things work.
I'm the kind of guy who uses things to do a project that weren't meant for that purpose, but work just the same.
You guys think outside the shipping container and come up with a solar array. Look past your noses and build up a snow blower for the front of the truck. Wowsers.
Keep on truckin.
Sad to to see the camper go , watching the build clips you added here brought good memories of when I first started watching you guys . The journey continues , and that's what it is all about ...........
On the snow blower - when you tried to move in 4 wheel drive it looked like your differentials were not locked - and also you load is on the front wheels and i think you are a little light on the back axles - a bit more weight will also help. Goodluck guys
You guys are awesome. Although sad to see the camper go, excited to see whats next!
I stumbled onto your channel during your camper build, I was searching for ideas for the rebuild of my travel trailer. Seeing what you were able to do building one from scratch gave me motivation to tackle mine. Will be exciting to see the next one! Curious if you’ve made any upgrades to water supply and disposal to support the addition of a washing machine?
Man it’s sad for me to see it go and I didn’t do anything! I remember seeing that rig in Flaggstaff when we were visiting and being like “that thing is WILD” I hadn’t even seen any of your videos yet. What a long way to come!
Gonna miss the camper. But I am also excited to see what selling it brings.
Gosh that hurts me for y’all ! I’ve faced those same feelings when selling some of my first machines (heavy equipment) but it’s a necessary step to growing into bigger and better things.
Looking forward to hearing about new things to come! MTCW, You guys might want to install a water shut-off valve with easy access, just above the shop sink, for your new washer. They are a great safety item that is easy/quick to use. I installed 2 so far. One was at our other house decades ago and the second one was here shortly after we moved in. NOTE: Because I couldn't post it here for your convenience - I sent a picture of what I did and how it looks to your Facebook messenger. A single lever turns it on or off quickly. Great peace of mind - knowing you don't have to be concerned about leaks or those hoses bursting while you are away. We turn it off after every use. Hope its helpful. Tony
I bet a building inspector would have a bit of a freak-out seeing how they enclosed the water heater with no means of quick access. Idaho is rather permissive on people doing HVAC, electrical, and plumbing on their own residences, and for the most part just goes by the National and (where applicable) International codes.
Having had a water heater spring a leak (fortunately with a pan and exterior drain) and having had to replace thermostats and elements before that, I definitely would not want it sealed up like that. I only found the leak because the heater was easily visible in a closet. Opened the door and "What's that? Uh-oh, we need a new water heater!"
Your Camper got me hooked on your channel and you guys have me coming back with everything. your doing!
Wife said suggested a laundry chute right away. Love the show! So excited for new episodes!!
My first thought watching the caution required to go down the stairs with a load of laundry.
A chute and small cubes for quick sorting.
I was sad to see the camper go , that was one of the first videos. I watched of you guys building the camper.
Make sure you can open the little door on the bottom of the washing machine... It's a cleanout...
oh MAN! YES it is and if the washer stinks it's because you haven't cleaned it out recently. I discovered mine after about TEN YEARS! Excellent advice!!!
No cleanout needed. Did anyone wonder how they will service that Hot Water Heater!
@@nettneo I was about to say that. My concern is freezing lines with no heat around it
A simple riser at the bottom, or the 2” thick isolator pads should fix the door access.
I’m watching your video this morning. I love the cabinet buildout. I noticed that you guys put the washer on the bottom and the 2x4 at the bottom in front of it. All looks great! The challenge is the door at the bottom left is the water clean out. I have to drain mine once a month. Sadly, you may want to raise it the 4” higher to be able to easily clean it out. I had to learn the hard way that it had to be up off the ground.
Love what you do💕
Your cabinets and sink are a great improvement in your laundry area. The car hood turned into a sled was fantastic especially when Riley washed and waxed the hood to make it go faster. Did both of you go down on the sled together? Selling the camper was bitter-sweet because of your fond memories in the build and travels. Many blessings to you great folks.
No sledding for her until after the baby arrives.
It's bittersweet saying goodbye to your wonderful camper, but great to think how another family can make great memories with it too!!
I love your storage cabinets in your workshop corner. I have a bit of a concern through winter though, with plumbing on an exterior wall, in a corner, and then all enclosed by the cabinetry. I know it's PEX, and that can tolerate freezing pretty well, and while the washer/dryer and/or hot water heater are running, there will be residual heat to keep plumbing warm. Maybe a bit of heat trace, or a tiny heater in there?
only problem i see with the army truck is no weight on the rear axel. great job
Am I the only one that heard "and quit call me Shirley"?
and any bad idea that starts with "be sure to properly mop your car hood" ... I'm game!
Thanks for the smiles and great video today. Will miss the truck camper, but what a well-deserved and tested stepping stone ... rock on for seeing it to its fullest potential and moving forward.
CONGRATS! awesome machine blower thingy! bye bye truck and camper!
When I read the title of this video, this is the *last* thing to which I thought y'all would be saying goodbye. Love, love, love the "highlight reel", though. As you say, it's time for a whole new chapter. I think I subscribed to _Ambition Strikes_ from the first episode of the truck camper build. I've followed along intently ever since, and can't wait to see all that the future holds for the Caseys.
The camper transition I thought had already occurred. I guess it is now final with this celebrity homage.
Courtney's hair is absolutely amazingly beautiful in this video! Possibly the beginning of a trend?
Also, the channel blurb says "20 acres of _bare_ off-grid land". I don't think your land is anywhere near _bare_ !
Hahaha using that hood brings back some memories, my 5 sisters and I used to use an old hood off of an old broken down car. We're probably lucky to be alive. Also sorry doing a snow dance for you guys is a no go, we're looking for a snow melt so that we can start building our own little homestead. Best wishes.
Well the next camper must have room for 1 extra. Loving this channel😀
Yes!
Used bus lot near Canfield Ohio.....
@@AmbitionStrikes I say five love two dog and One little one
I know they’ll plan ahead and have room for two more.
CONGRATS on getting 300k subs.
So happy for you guys,wishing you only the best
Yes, it's kind of a sad day, but with that new sweet shop you can always build another camper if the itch for it gets really bad. Looking forward to what comes next. Cheers.
I started watching your channel when you started building your camper and we have been faithfully been following your channel as you have grown. Unfortunately my better half is on a road trip to Seattle with her son because the imaging equipment is not available in Spokane to help discover why he keeps having seizures. Watching your channel is something we do every Sunday morning before coffee. I know I can speak for both of us we can't wait to see what the future holds for you guys.
We hope they have a safe journey and can find some answers. ❤️
Thank you! They got home safely hopefully having answers this Friday.
Hi Courtney and Riley, In the washer and dryer cabinet, make sure you can access the clean out drain at the bottom of the washer. You should need to open it and clean out the screen every quarter to keep the mold smell down. They also suggest you leave the washerl and detergent doors open to let it all dry out.
Definitely! You have to keep the washer door open all the time you aren't using it to keep it from getting all moldy.
Courtney sure is glowing congrats you guys!!!! What team work :)
Like other comments the camper build brought me to your channel but the way you guys live and work and play keep me coming back. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Seen a sander on market place in sandpoint. Be nice for the back of the dump box
Very sad to see the camper go, but I can't wait to see what kind of crazy build you guys come up with next.
I’m devastated. I wouldn’t be able to let go. That camper is amazing
Glad you are on to bigger and better things, cannot wait to see what is next. Keep the journey going
I bet that was a difficult goodbye! I am sure the next owner will thoroughly enjoy it!!!!
